Indiana, which already has been allotted a lion's share of government defense industries, has good prospects for .- getting another, Governor Townsend reported today upon

Ne return from Washington.

The Governor declined to reveal the type of fndhstry © under consideration or to elaborate on his statement except

to say that the industry was * "He went to Washington Monday to find out what “i in the cards for Indiana” in the defense program. He said ‘the information was necessary in order to present to the Legislature requests : for adequate legislation. “Taey like us in W as hington,” the Governor commented “They like the lapor situation “here and they like our good roads.” «. Indians already has the $50,000,000 powder plant at “Charlestown (and reports are that an“other $25,000,000

will be spent to further enlarge par

it; the shell loading station at Union Center; the ammunition dump at Burns Cify, and the 60,000acre ordnance proving ground at Madison. © ‘Democratic officials feel that the State Government must do its shate by aiding financially the small money-less towns where the defense industries are being located. . Most of the towns, such as Charlestown, have a heavy bonded indebtedness and there is no time now to raise taxes to build a sewer system or develop a fire system such as is needed. Also no taxes can be levied on the government property. Officials believe that it will “only be fair” for the coming session of| the Legislature to provide a $500,000 defense fund from which funds can be allocated to aid the various communities. Republican legislative leaders and Governor-elect Henry F. Schricker are to visit the Charlestown plant next Thursday to get a “first-hand view” of the needs of that community. » BE

iv, Mathews said that the llth Infantry and its companion regiment in the Division, the 10th, now stationed at Ft. Hayes, O., and Ft. Thomas, Ky, have been chosen by the Army for the special training.

Start Next Month

The rest of the Division also wiil train for winter warfare, but the foot soldiers of the 10th and 11th will be the ones who must learn to fire rifles while on snowshoes and to cover great distances on skis over

snow-covered terrain. The training will begin at Ft. Custer, Mich., where the Division will concentrate early mext month. Michigan was selected as an ideal winter training site. Other regular army units scattered throughout the northern part of the country also will get training in some phases of winter warfare, but the Fifth Division will be. the Army’s first unit exclusively trained in that type of fighting.

Staff to Prepare Camp

The 11th Infantry, which comprises approximately 3000 men and officers, has trained at Ft. Harrison for many years, between summer maneuvers at other camps.

Desperate Winter Ahead Unless Red Tape of Blockade Is Cut.

By THOMAS L. STOKES __ Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.—Spunky little Finland, who ‘won the admira-

tion of ihe world by her brave but |

futile resistance to Soviet Russia, is facing a desperate winter unless some arrangement is made to get food and clothing more promptly ynrough the British blockade. Finland has become a hapless victim in the controversy which rages over ex-Presi-dent Herbert Hoover's plan to feed the peoples of the small nations ‘overrun by the gp Nazis. But Finland is now in the same category Mr. Stokes with Belgium, Holland, Norway and Poland. She is not dominated nor controlled by the Nazis. She has a part-of her own, Petsamo, which she controls, and into which supplies can move. To acquaint the American people with Finland’s plight, and to clear up the misapprehension, a Finland committee “is now active. Among members of its executive committee are Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and Commerce Secretary - Federal Loan Administrator Jesse H. Jones.

Red Tape in Way

\ Great Britain has approved the shipments of some foodstuffs and clothing to Finland from this céuntry. but red tape and delay have been encountered in a circuitous|® route of approval. Every application has to go first to the British consulate in New York, whence it is relayed to the British embassy here, then to London, where long delays occur. The Finnish legation here would like at least some sort of blanket approval for a list of food and clothing supplies that could be shipped without all the round-about motions. The Finns have adequate shipping facilities to move it, according to legation officials.

Red Cross Supplies Slow

While the British. embassy here explained that $1,250,000 of Red Cross supplies had been approved for shipment to Finland in the last two months, Finnish legation officials said that the applications began last August and that actually only about half of this has reached Finland. { The Finnish economy: has been seridusly disrupted by her war with Russia, and the added burden imposed by evacuation of 450,000 Finns from the Karelian Isthinus, ceded to Russia, who must be ‘provided for in Finland. This was about 11 per! cent of Finland's population. There is a serious shortage ot fats now in ¥inland, so necessary to a people who must stand the rigorous winters. She also needs cereals,

.|dried and fresh fruits, among other

foodstuffs, as well as clothing and medical supplies and gasoline for the trucks to move them from Petsamo to the railroad line 250 miles away from the port. Petsamo is only a small fishing port. Finland alse would like to import’

some raw cotton for clothing to re-|

vive her own textile industry. ———————————— HINKLE ON PROGRAM Tony Hinkle, Butler University athletic director, will speak on
