“The time has come to do something to remedy the situation,” the resolution pointed out. “City of-

good citizen when they attempt to enforce the laws and clean up our city.: “Taverns in which there are brawls and in which it is reported minors are allowed to congregate should be closed as a public nuisance. “All good citizens must be aroused to the dire need for more restrictive legislation against the liquor traffic.” The closing of bingo games in the city by police a year ago foliowed a strong resolution by Methodist ministers attacking the games, even when used .as means of raising money for churches.

3 Resolution Modified

Dr. Carpenter’s resolution was adopted unanimously after a motion to postpone action for two weeks had been defeated, 20 to 16. The original resolution was modifled as a result of suggestions hy various ministers. Dr. Carpenter had said that three-fourths -of all auto accidents were directly or indirectly due to liquor. Dr. John G. Benson, superintendent of Methodist Hospital, declared that it could not be “proved” from hospital records that the proportion was so high. “We are just a mad lot of people in our driving,” he said. The Rev. M. O. Robbins, pastor of the Edgewood Church, obtained a modification. saying that it was “reported” that: liquor was served to minors although some members of the association insisted that the recent slaying in the Iozzo tavern on S. Illinois St. was definite proof that minors were being served.

Paragraph Delefed

Dr. C. A. McPheeters, pastor of the North Methodist Church,. had deleted a paragraph which read: “The ministers had remained silent during the period before the national election lest their voice raised in protest against conditions be inS [terpreted as political expression.” “We did not remain silent,” Dr, McPheeters said.

URGES MERGER OF YOUTH ACTIVITIES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9 (U. P.).— The American Youth Commission today recommended establishment of a single new youth service in the Federal Government combining ac-)

jstration and any other youth work programs found to be appropriate. The commission, of which Owen D. Young is chairman,’ said such a ‘move was needed “for the best integration of youth programs into the national defense program.” The recommendation comes near the end of a four-year survey of the CCC being made by the commission. “The CCC and NYA are in constant competition for appropriations, for administrative personnel and for enrollee youth,” the commission said” . . . the functions of the two agencies are so similar that

made of the child’s needs. In addition, the name of every child clothed is registered immediately with: the Christmas Clearing House. : Q—May the donor clothe a child personally? A—Yes. The operation is simple. The donor elects whether to clothe a child personally or provide the money. If the donor wishes to clothe the child directly, the donor simply selects the day and time he wishes to meet the child. The child is met “at the Clothe-A-Child office and taken right cut with the donor. Q—May the donor make a choice between a boy or girl? A—Yes. In addition, the donor also may specify an age, or neighborhood, or may ask for two, three or more children all in the same family. Ee i Q—Does Clothe-A-Child co-op-erate with the year-’ ‘round social service agencies? A—Yes. Co-operating agencies include the Family Welfare Service, the Wheeler City Rescue Mission, the Catholic Charities Bureau, the Jewish Family Welfare Society, the Salvation Army, Flanner House, the Volunteers of America and the Marion County Department of Public Welfare.

”» o » Q—DOES' Clothe-A-Child account for its funds? A—Yes. A daily report is made out and checked by the controller of The Times. The Times publishes daily -a public accounting of all funds contributed to Clothe-A-Child. : ~ Q—Has the industrial growth of Indianapolis lessened the need of children, through employment of their parents? A—Unfortunately no. The increase in population in Indjanapolis has only served to increase the number of families unable to provide, for one reason or another, for the support and care of the children. This year there are more cases of need on the Clothe-A-Child lists than ever before. .Q — Don’t the Community Fund’s agencies and the Public ‘Schools do the same thing as Clothe-A-Child? ‘A—As much as possible, but all such organizations operate on a year-around budget and cannot care for all cases. Q—Does Clothe-A-Child have ‘many ‘“repeaters”—cases of .clothing provided year after year? A—No. There are some, of course, but the list of children changes from year to year. The “repeaters,” as such, are the donors. Most donors not only repeat, but increase their gifts from

It is possible that ‘yesterday's changes in the Italian Admiralty, aimed partly at more efficient airplane use overseas, has this as one of its objectives.

Unless the Italian forces in Albania are able te develop more effective resistance to the Greek advance, the possibility of being cut off from adequate transport communications with' their home

The situation is approaching a point of such al fighting “with, their backs to the wall.” Mr. Mason . The strategy of the Greeks is aimed at Catan, ing the two remaining principal Albanian ports, Valona and ‘Durazzo.

‘They already have occupied Porto Edda, the third important port. If

the two others fall into Greek possession, it will be impossible for heavy]: FLEET IN MANEUVERS

under present conditions. The ‘capture of Argyrokastron gives the Greeks a splendid base, within 40 miles of Valona. If the Italians are compelled to fall back along the Valona Road to the sea and cannot withstand the Greek attack, their only recourse will he to move farther north, surrendering Valona to the enemy. At the present time, Valona is within 15 minutes of raiding time by Greek and British airplanes, operating from Argyrokastron. The port is. said to have been seriously. damaged, already, with supplies piled up that are admirable targets for air attack. . Some use, however, can still be made of the landing stage by the Italians; but the nearer the Greeks approach to the suburbs. the more serious does the Fascist problem ef supplies become. It is, therefore, to be expected that the Greeks may find the fighting grow, more des- | perate as they try to advance in the Argrokastron sector. On the other side of Albania, the Greeks are advancing toward Elbasan, which is 35 miles from Durazzo and is connected with Tirana, the Capital, 20 miles east, by a light railway. Durazzo has not been bombed as frequently as Valona, but if Elbasan is taken by the Greeks, it willybe: an easy matter to increase the intensity of the air raids.

The capture of Durazzo would be a more severe blow to the Italians than Valona because of its greater importance and because the Fascists seem to be making the area between Elbasan, Tirana and Durazzo their principal supply center. A retreat northward, if Valona should be abandoned, will give the Italians a stronger defending force to protect Durazzo. If ‘Durazzo as well * as Valona should be occupied by the Greeks or should be made useless by air bombing, the Italians would have only one or two landing places, of secondary value, along the north Albanian coast. These small ports are handicapped by being more than 100 miles north of the Greek frontier, and would have to be considerably enlarged to possess serious value. Whether the work of improving them could succeed if the Greeks and British bombers concentrated on interference may be doubtful. Even at best, the long and difficult mountain. routes to the Greek border would give he Greeks ex-
