ernment had been “reluctantly forced to the conclusion that under| present conditions any such’ schem must be of material assistance to Germany’s. war effort and would thereby postpone the day of libera-

tion of these people (in German- :

occupied countries) from German subjugation.” “It would be of no service to these “peoples to send food if it means the prolongation of their slavery,” Lothian’s statement said. Moreover, any shortage of food from which they may suffer is solely due to German action. Before they were conquered by Germany they had ample food for their own heeds. In conquering them . . . Germany has assumed responsibility for their welfare.” Mr. Hoover's secretary announced in New York that the former President had no statement to make Concerning Lothian’s statement.

Ea S ARH

Great Britain is sending men, guns and tanks to her Middle East Army in Egypt which is credited with a blitzkrieg rout of Italian forces. This scene, from an official War, Office film, shows a detachment of newly arrived troops leaving their camp for training drill,

Here it hampered the efforts of some within the Administration who have been urging that the United States seek British acquiesence to a “controlled” program for feeding France and Spain. Before . Lothian’s statement, reliable quarters had reported that the Adminis-

‘until . the new Ambassador * France, William D. Leahy, has examined the problem. Lothian’s statement did mention proposals to send food to areas not occupied by Germany, but it was believed that Britain would oppose such a move on the basis that supplies sent to Spain or unoccupied France might reach other areas, Lothian’s statement said that Britain was prepared to facilitate the passage of medical supplies through the blockade, even for occupied regions, but that it has been unable to discover “any scheme of

distribution” of foodstuffs in accu- |

pied - regions which could provide guarantees against strengthening Germany.

Six N. D. Professors

P).— Forty-four prominent Catholic laymen today denounced former President Herbert Hoover's proposal to ship food through the British blockatle to Germansoccupied countries as “contrary to the best interests of Christianity and America.” .

CLAIMS ‘IGING AIR’ IN DOOMED PLANE ZONE

CHICAGO, Dec. 11 (U. P), — Witnesses told a Civil Aeronautics Board hearing today that a 700-foot of “icing air” prevailed in the flying zone between Toledo, O., and Chicago Dec. 4, when a United Air Lines “main-liner” which flew through the area crashed near Chicago Airport, killing 10 persons. Henry T. Harrison, superintendent of meteorology for United’s eastern division, told the four-man investigating committee that he had notified dispatchers and “pilots along the company’s route from Chicago to New York. He said his report, 48 minutes before the crash, indicated a fine granular sleet changing to snow at Chicago Airport. ‘

added power to the local distribution system. Last year the company enlarged and modernized its Perry-K plant at Kentucky Ave. and West St. at a cost of about $2,500,000. This year it modernized generating equipment

‘|at its Mill St. plant near 19th St.

and Northwestern Ave. The new boiler will be the most modern high-pressure type, capable of supplying 400,000 pounds of steam an hour at 875-pound pressure and 900 degrees Fahrenheit.

Coal Saving Sought

“By installing pulverizers with the new boilers,” Mr. Pritchard said, “we hope to gain efficiency in our coal consumption which has become of special importance in view of our increased coal costs due to the new minimum prices set for Indiana coal under the National Bituminous Coal Act. It is estimated that: the increased cost on the tonnage we used during the last year would amount to more than $275,000.” This coal pulverizing equipment is planned to handle 25 tons of coal an hour. : The present boiler section of the plant which rises 96 feet«above the ground (not counting the stacks) and occupies 104% feet of the plant’s total width, will be extended 68 feet south. The extension will be of steel, concrete and brick construction and will harmonize architecturally with the present struct ture.
