Russian censorship revealed that Soviet President Mikhail I. Kalinin had indicated how temporary was Russia’s alignment with Hitler by telling the Red Army that the U.“S. 8. R. is a “besieged fortress sur‘rounded by unprincipled, irreconcilable enemies.” Winston Churchill celebrated his 66th bir y by “getting on’ with the * British planes made Cologne their principal target.

Tens of thousands lined the route of the Codreanu funeral cortege in Bucharest and the cathedral where the rites were held and the church where the burial will take place were decorated as if for the funeral of a king. i ; The priests said the Mass of the Resurrection, ordinarily said only on the Saturday before Easter, and every church bell in the nation tolled from 10:30 to 11 a. m. in honor of Codreanu and the 13 Iron Guards “martyred” with him. The Budapest reports said that German elite troops were guarding young King Michael in one of his

many’s “ace in the hole” and that the Nazis might offer him to the people as a substitute either for Gen. Antonescu or the Iron Guards. The reports abroad were that the Army, faithful to Antonescu, and the Iron Guard, were fighting in the streets of at least five towns. Ernst Bohle, head of Germany's Foreign Office minorities organization, and Baldur von Schirach of the Nazi diplomatic service, were sent to the Codreanu funeral. Budapest believed that their presence indicated the Iron Guard had gone farther than Berlin had wished and that Hitler was preparing to clamp down—perhaps by taking over the country, :

Italian-Greek War

No specific reports on the battles in Albania were permitted through the Greek censorship, except for a report that Greeks had captured a heavily-fortified plateau on a main road near Argyrokastron. Rome’s war communique said that Italian troops were on the defensive but holding their positions on most fronts, although in some sectors they made “effective” counter-at-tacks. . 2 a %

Extensive aerial operations by both sides were reported, with the Fascists bombing many towns in Greece and British planes hammering at the Albanian coastal towns through which Italian supplies and reinforcements are moving. Corfu, already one-third in ruins, was bombed anew. The snowstorms were reported in the Moskopoli area west of Koritza and indicated that the passes there soon would be sealed by snow, protecting Greek gains. Athens quoted prisoners as saying that many _ troops froma Southern Italy were .dying of exposure in the unfamiliar “gold

London concealed the location where the Italian submarine was supposed to have been sunk, but said that the U-boat had. been successfully attacked by the pre-1914 Greek destroyer, Aetos, when the submersible had loosed a torpedo at a convoy being escorted by the Aetos. !

‘Aerial War

Damage in London last night appeared to be considerable, largely due to fires which lighted up the gky for hours. The raiders singled out one area of London in an apparent effort to “Coventrate” it, believing that the anti-aircraft guns defending the capital might have been shifted to provincial towns like Birmingham and Liverpooi and Bristol, which have keen heavily raided recently.

About 100 German planes came back over South England this morning but their attasks were broken up by British fighters. The Germans claimed that only two persons had been injured in British raids on Cologne and Bremen last night, but that R. A. F. torpedo es had repeatedly attacked Nazi § ers in the North Sea.

"Indo-China

The ‘French reported a “lull” in fighting on the Thailand frontier, but the Siamese High Command at Bangkok said that. its forces had invaded Indo-China yesterday and occupied three districts near Aranya after sharp fighting. ; Although one of the natives’ complaints against French rule in IndoChina is that they ‘have been kept illiterate, the Siamese Air Force yesterday treated the village of Savanakhet to a “pamphlet raid.”

Pe

Sino-Japanese War

The Chiang Kai-shek Government at Chungking denounced the new treaty between Japan and its puppet regimes. U. S. Secretary of State Cordell Hull stuck to his previous condemnations of the Nanking regime and it was believed the new treaty would have no effect on U. 8. ' policy. British officials said they would continue to recognize Gen. Chiang’s regime as China’s only legal government. .

_ War Sidelights

The Kalinin speech was made recently to the students and faculty of the Red Army's Political Academy and the text was published only today. He called for “eternal vigilance,” increased armed forces and improved discipline. He described Russia as a “tremendous fortress covering one-sixth of the world,” but said, “the other fivesixths are held by our unprincipled, irreconcilable and recalcitrant enemies.”

Vichy confirmed that the plane of Jean Chaiappe, newly appointed High Commissioner to Syria, had been shot down in flames Wednesday when it flew across the BritishItalian naval battle. Chiappe’s plane was shot down when it ran into a melee of planes from Italian and British aircraft carriers during the naval chase and fight off Sardinia. No wreckage of the plane has been found. The last radio message came from the plane’s pilots, “Being machine-gunned; falling.” Chiappe, a follower of Vice Premier Pierre Laval was a former Paris police chief and enemy No. 1 of the Popular Front in France. A spokesman at 10 Downing Street said that there probably would not even be a family celebration for Mr. Churchill's birthday, but. that a flood of congratulatory messages had been received from all parts of the world. ’ A foreign diplomat whose Government is friendly with Germany said in London last night that according to German sources, Hitler planned to invade Great Britain in December, probably about Christmas.

FISH SCATTERED IN CAR-TRUCK CRASH

About ten tons of frozen fish were grounded last night on Road 367 a quarter of a mile east of Emerson Ave. A tractor-trailor truck driven by Clark F. Bundy, 40, of Kansas City, was struck by a car driven by Adolph Schmertz, 36, of 438 Highland Ave. The truck turned over twice and stopped upside down. Fish were thrown in all four directions, up and down. Neither the drivers nor the fish suffered serious injuries.

FOR MAY CRUISE T0 WEST INDIES

Tuscaloosa at Sea Under Secret Orders to Pick Up ‘Roosevelt's Party.

—The 10,000-ton cruiser Tuscaloosa, .equipped with special gear used by President Roosevelt, was at sea under secret orders today, ‘presumably heading for an undisclosed destination: to pick up the President for his planned defense inspection tour. Mr. Roosevelt told his ‘conference yesterday that he was preparing to leave early next week on an inspection trip that may take him beyond his self-imposed 12hour train radius from the capital. He would not disclose his destination but the mysterious operations of the Tuscaloosa, which sailed from Norfolk, Va. yesterday, lent strength to reports he plans to cruise into the Caribbean—posgibly as far as the British West Indies. The President and his White House aids refused comment. Plane Close at Hand On his projected trip, Mr. Roosevelt expects to keep ‘an airplane close at hand to return to Washington quickly in event of an emergency. Such a flight would break all precedent, since no American President ever has traveled by air. But flying is no novelty to Mr. Roosevelt, whose last air trip was from Albany, N. Y., to Chicago, to accept his first presidential nomination in 1932. War Department sources revealed that an Army transport plane, with a capacity of 21 persons, has been fully equipped with ramps and other special gear required by the President, to be ready should Mr. Roosevelt decide to utilize that means of travel.

May See Maneuvers

Speculation over the destination of the President’s projected defense tour centered on the possibility he may cruise to Culebra, between the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, to witness maneuvers of the Atlantic squadron about Dec. 7. Navy Secretary Frank Knox already has announced that he plens to fly to Panama for an inspection of naval defenses in the Canal Zone and. then to join the Atlantic squadron for the Culebra maneuvers.

Fare to Home Leads to Jail

A 66-YEAR-OLD man yesterday stood before George G. Rinier, judge pro tem. in Municipal Court, on.a charge of drunkenness. The judge took pity on him and gave him a’ dollar to get home to Plainfield. Even the bailiff chipped in a dime. : Deputy sheriffs picked up the man again lat night on W. Washington St. He was tipsy. Today Judge Pro Tem. William E. Reiley gave him $1 and costs— which means, for the defendant, 11 days in jail.

feels that approval of the action should come from the Legislature.

Company Protests

Concerning the tax rate of employers in the unemployment com-

pensation system, many companies contend that their surplus funds paid into the Unemployment Compensation Division are far out of proportion to what is needed to meet unemployment claims. One company reported that by January it will have about $35,000 in its fund, while last year it was necessary to pay out only $2500 dollars on unemployment claims. Most Indiana companies are paying in 2.7 per cent of their payrolls. They would be entitled to a reduction to 2 per cent if the money which they will have paid into the surplus fund for the year is, in January, 7.5 per cent of their yearly payroll. Companies, however, would not be notified of the reduction until January and many claim that this delay

The chamber’s legislative investigators also have voted to recommend continued opposition to the “model” wages and hours and labor

Truck Driver C of Chance

John Hayworth, a member of the they-drive-by-night fraternity, took a 110-mile ride with death last night. A few miles'more and death might have taken over. f About ' midnight Mr. . Hayworth climbed into his 10-ton motor express truck at Louisville and started on a ‘solo” drive to Indianapolis. The big vehicle was fully loaded with merchandise. As the truck rumbled north, the

Avila Camacho was said to have alienated any Communist sympathy he might have had. He recently appealed for the support of the Catholic Church in a magazine interview in which he said he was “a believer” and a. supporter of Catholicism. His friendly gestures toward the United States were also said to have enraged the Communists. Already drastic police and military precautions against any untoward event at Avila Camacho’s inaugural were tightened. Troops of the first military zone, which comprises the federal distriet of the capital, were ordered to stand by fbr instant call. Fifteen hundred uniformed policemen will guard all official routes to the Chamber of Deputies where Avila Camacho will take the oath of office. Approximately 400 policemen with rifles and machine guns will be posted on roof tops and balconies along the routes.

CHINESE EXPLOSION KILLS 74, HURTS 102

SHANGHAI, Nov. 30 (U. P)— Japanese officials sald today that 74 persons had been killed and 102 wounded when a dynamite blast blew up a locomotive and wrecked four cars of a train en route ta Nanking, where Japan today signed a “peace” treaty with a puppet Chinese regime. : The dead included 52 Chinese men, 12 women, nine children and one Japanese. Two or three mines exploded, the Japanese said. Three Chinese were seen running from the scene shortly before the explosion ‘and were fired on by Japanese guards. One of the fleeing men who fired 16 shots at the guards was killed. Another also was killed but the third escaped.

Now, however, the principle of imperial “immutability” has been discarded. That means today’s treaty can be regarded as having only temporary validity, being dependent on future events for possible alteration.

Room for Speculation

Prince . Konoye | likewise made Japan’s membership in the new triple alliance “immutable” by sécuring imperial approval of the military pact] with Germany and Italy. But, since today at Nanking, immutability’! has lost its meaning of changelessness for Japan, there is room for speculation in the world’s capitals. : It is anpounced that neither Germany nor Italy intends to withdraw representation from Chungking, where Chiang Kai-shek centers his authority. The axis intimates its continued association with Chiang Kei-shek is for the purpose of trying to persuade him to accept peace. This explanation, in turn, would seem to imply that Japan’s partners do not place full confidence in the effectiveness of peace terms negotiated at Nanking. The difficulty of basing peace in China on establishing a new administration at Nanking is due to the fact that the Chinese Government is a one-man affair, with Chiang Kai-shek in control. Like Hitler, he has allowed only one political party to exist.. China is not “totalitarian” because governmental authority, itself, has never been total, but as far as the Republic's authority has extended, it has been in the hands of Chiang Kai-shek, himself.

No Governing Machinery

There is no governing machinery at Nanking ‘to be seized. That is a major difficulty facing Japan. If the Japanese try to control China, or if the Chinese people, themselves, hope eventually to control their own government, the first essential wiil be the creation of administrative and legislative machinery such as the West knows but China rcver has

{known.

That, however, is a problem for the future. The immediate probfem of a real peace cannot evade the fact that China has a one-man government. That means something must be done about Chiang Kaishek. What or how is the paramount difficulty. confronting the Wang Ching-wei regime in Nanking.

NANKING, China, Nov. 30 (U. P.)~—Japan, Manchukuo and occupied China sighed a treaty today that granted Japan virtual control of the Yangtze River valley, North China and Inner Mongolia, and united the three governments in a joint defense against communism, Arranged after months of diplomatic maneuvering, the treaty was signed by Lieut. Gen. Nobuyuki, special envoy of the Emperor, for Japan by Wang Ching-wei, head of the Japanese-sponsored regime in Japanese-occupied China, and. by Gen. Tsang Shih-yi, chairman of the Manchurian Privy Council. The treaty officially was termed a “readjustment of “Chinese-Jap-anese relations.” It was intended to make a regional “refugee regime” of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek’s Nationalist China Government, It provided that Japan would be paid in full indemnities for its war losses in China. . The treaty permitted Japanese troops to remain in North China and Inner Mongolia indefinitely as a bulwark “against communism,” and gave them the right to stay elsewhere in China until at least two years after peace is restored: The Japanese navy was giveh un-
