BOTH SIDES WORRY

OVER WILLKIE VIEW

Administration, Which Used Hin as Envoy to London,

Wonders Now if He Will Go All Out for F. D. R. on Aid Bill; G. 0. P. Also Fears What He May Say.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.

—The Administration, after

using him as an unofficial envoy to London and Dublin, is beginning to wonder whether “We want Willkie.” Secretary of State Cordell Hull's belated denial that he ‘asked Mr. Willkie to rush home to testify for the lend-lease]

bill is only one sign of the official uneasiness.

tary said ‘he merely transmitted a suggestion of the airlines. ‘ Administration leaders in Congress also “are unwilling to take credit for calling Mr. Willkie back to Join in the fight. The President yesterday d e = nied London reports that he is slated for a Govern me nt job. “¥ Maybe it was a - mistake . for the President to facilitate t h e mission of his former opponent, even mak-

ing him the

bearer of mesMr. Denny bale British Government and King. At the time it seemed the smart thing to do—since Mr. Willkie apparently had joined the President in dropping the “short of war” election slogan, and might be able to make the Administration bill “bipartisan” in support though partisan in authorship, .

# Whom Will He Speak For?

¥ But now the difficulty is that nobody, not even the President, knows what Mr. Willkie will say when he gets back—or whom he will represent. Unless he goes all out for the President, it will be very embarras- © sing for the Administration which ‘escorted his tour. What if he says “he favors the aid-Britain purposes of thle bill, but also favors the Reptiblican amendments rejected by the President as the most direct way to accomplish that? Or what if he rubber-stamps Roosevelt's policy? How many votes will that change? Will the Republicans follow that Willkie leadership? Will the anti-iater-ventionist Democrats? There is no indication that he has any more control over G. Q. P. Congressional leaders than has Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, a former Republican Vice Presidential candidate, and Secretary of War Henry I. Stimson, a Cabjnet officer ‘in two Republican Administrations. On the contrary, there is more bitlerness against the recent Republican candidate.

May Reverse Himself Again

The major Republican leaders still stand for the “short of war” qualification which Candidate Willkie, as well as Candidate Roosevelt, pledged three months ago—Messrs. * Landon, Hoover, Dewey, Taft, Vandenberg, Senate Leader McNary, House Leader and National Crajtman gMartin. .| The practical question on Mr. Willkie's return is not whether he will whip those G. O. P. leaders into lime, but whether he will reverse himself again—as wien he switched from Democratic to Republican Party. Mr. Willkie is famou$~for being. as unpredictable as he is sincere and courageous. But, whichever way ‘he jumps, his seat is going to be a hot cne for soine tinie to come.

The Republican leaders don't want],

him and the New Dealers, who hate him most, are afraid they will have to take him. And, along with other prejudices operating against him, the auspices of his trip to Dublin don't help him with the Irish here. Regardless of what he does or says when he rushes back to testify, it will have more effect. on his personal future than upon the bill. He can embarrass, but not greatly aid the President, and he can neither embarrass nor materially help the anti-interventionists. For he has almost no influence in Congress. '§,

SELASSIE AGAIN RULES ETHIOPIA

ltaly’s E. Africa Empire Is Gone, as Far as Britain . Is Concerned Now.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Con 54 RL TE Rae Times LONDON, Feb. 5.—Italy’s empire in East Africa is now officially “finito,” as far as Great Britain is concerned. | Haile Selassie is Emperor of Ethiopia again, after a period of two years and three months, during which the King of Italy was officially admitted to deserve that title. | The Anglo-Italian agreement, which | went into effect on Nov. 16, 1938, is thus abrogated as completely as the Munich agreement, its twin brother. Great Britain will support and protect Haile Selassie and all territories which come under his sway. The British

rations in Ethiopia, but they wish to insure that Ethiopia will be modernized and civilized, and past experience has convinced them that

[ it would be too much to ask Haile

Selassie alone to guarantee the speedy realization of that process.

Selassie Accepts

When the country has gotten hick onto its feet and Haile Selassie ‘has been able to re-establish adequate administrative and police sistems throughout the country, he [| will, presumably, be as independent ‘ai he ever was. It is understood that Haile Selassie has readily accepted this plan. There is still some question as ‘te the exact extent\of “Ethiopia” aid whether it will include all the I territories which were included within the frontiers of the former Ethiopia. There seems to be some tendency to limit the authority of the the Amharan dynasty to those tepritories which are | inhabited principally by the so-cdlled “Ethi‘logian” races—Tigreans, Amharans and Shoans. These races are about one-third of the population and their native territories cover about one-third of Ethiopia.

He May Succeed Now

The feeling of many who know Ethiopia is that the development of the country and the maintenance of real order can be achieved only by one strong, central authority such as Haile Selassie had gradually built up, until the Italians came in and. smashed his whole setup. With the backing of a benevolent { foreign power, and with something ‘aoproaching national consciousness ‘now i nexistence, as a result of the Iiglian rule, it is conceivable that oti Selassie might bewable to accomplish the job. :

42 OLD-TIMERS GET ROME JOBS

Duce Tightening Fascists’ Hold as Nazis Give. & New Co-operation.

By JOHN T. WHITAKER pr: 1941, by The Indianapolis Times’ The Chicago Daily News, Inc. OME, Feb. 5.—Tightening the Fascist Party's hold upon the coun-

try at the time German co-opera-tion is being increased, Benito Mussolini today shook up the political bosses that rule Rome in a hgusecleaning which undoubtedly will be extended to other cities. The Duce let 42 resign from p.rty offices to volunteer for service at the front and replaced them with 42 Old Guard Fascists, who were *‘“preconvention” Mussolini men. Thirteen places in the Federal Directorate for the city, nine places in the Directorate of the Roman Fascio, and 11 members of the Federal Commision for Discipline, as it is called, are affected in the change which brings back to power oldtimers who were street-fighters in the rough-and-tumble days and who brought Mussolini .to power in the 1922 march on Rome." The Messaggero comments that the 42 new party officials “are all old-time Fascists belonging to the Old Guard, who remained firm at their battle posts even in the most difficult hours and unchangeable in their fidelity to the Duce.” The Fascists declare now that British propaganda is attempting to drive a wedge between Fascism and Italy, and between the Duce and the Fuehrer. By way of reply, Mussolini is tightening the party discipline. Fascists admit that the reverses in Albania and Libya suggest that further reverses'may come in Ethiopia. But Italy, as Germany's ally, is sure to win the war, say the Fascists. Their belief is strengthened by Fascist, confidence that the American democracy, like the democracies of France and England, is incapable of acting with unity and speed. In private conversation most Fascists seem confident that the lend-lease bill will be beaten.

LUDLOW PLEADS FOR LEASE-LEND REASON

Times Special WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. — Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) spoke out today against “criminations and recriminations” between proponents and opponents of the Lease-Lend Bill. In a speech published in the Congressional Record the ‘Indianapolis Congressman indicated that he will oppose passage of the measure. As the author of the Ludlow war referendum amendment, Rep. Ludlow is considered the spokesman for many pacifist groups here. “In this time of extreme necessity let there be no criminations and recriminations,” Rep. Ludlow pleaded. “Let it be a counsel of reason. Let us concede at the outset that we are all equally interested and equally patriotic in wanting to do what is best for our country and in a spirit of mutual respect and tolerance let us try to decide what is the future best policy for America. “While we deplore the injustices, barbarisms, and cruelties perpetrated in other lands ‘we. have no commission from God to police the world,” ” as President Harrison once told me. “America is our responbibility. » w—————————————

A Title Starts a Diplomatic Row

1041. by The Indianapolis Times The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

LONDON, Feb. 5.—Didlomatic storm in the teapot has been created by an inadvertent slipup in giving former Sir Edmund Ironside, former chief of the imperial general staff, his new baronial title. Remembering. his glories of other days which far exceeded those achieved by him in the present war, Ironside harked back to the days when he led Great Britain's interventionist army in North Russia, and de cided to take the title ‘Baron Ironside of Archangel.” Nobody in the College of Heralds looked amiss when the title was submitted for approval and the order went through confirming it. /When the Foreign Office discovered what had happened there were near hysterics.

ASSEMBLY LINE METHODS USED

It's a Major Job Getting Those Study Schedules Fixed for 19,000.

By EARL HOFF

Nineteen thousand High school pupils started the second semester last week in Indianapolis, each armed with a study slip. On each slip was a list of the pupil's courses, the hours and the rooms. Nearly every slip was different. The job of scheduling all these programs was one that involved every high school teacher. At Shortridge High School, as at all the others, these study slips were put together on an ‘‘assembly line.” Every teacher has a hand in the process,

List Preferences

The process started several weeks ago when the pupils, working with their home room teachers, listed| preferences; as to courses, hours and teachers. The home-room teachers, consulting the four-year programs the pupils had outlined when they were, freshmen, made sure that they got into the courses needed for graduation. Then these courses were listed on the “stub” end of a study slip and all were sent to Joel W. Hadley, vice principal. Then the “assembly line” went to work. In the Teacher's Lunchroom,

FOG BLAMED IN AIR RAID LULL

A. F. Officer Believes That Quiet Does Not ~~ Mean an Invasion.

By HELEN KIRKPATRICK

LONDON , Feb. 5.—A Senior officer of the British Royal Air Force believes it is not true that the Germans are intentionally "abstaining from night raids in order to pre-

Great Britain. Except for one or two mights London for the last 15 nights has slumbered peacefully, undisturbed by the drone of bombers, of the noise of bombs or guns, although English aviators over the week-end launched their second big daylight raid on German bases in France.

It’s the Weather

Weather has been the, principal cause for the grounding of both German and Birtish air forces during recent nights, he told correspondents in London. The temperature has been close to freezing, in all altitudes, and heavy fogs have been sufficient to account for the lull, which England has been experiencing lately. Visibility has been unusually poor and night flying over enemy country is beset with enough hazard for the Germans without adding bad ground conditions on their own airdromes, especially when the majority of these, in northern France, are prety poor, anyway. . All German losses during night attacks on Britain have not necessarily come from anti-aircraft fire or occasional unfortunate meetings

the R. A. F. officer suggested. There is reason to believe that German losses have been heavier owing to bad weather and he cited an article in a German newspaper headed, “Fog—Airman’s Enemy.”

Exercise Greater Care The Germans are believed how to be exercising greater care in the dispatch of their bombers. If the weather shows indication of turning foggy, the chances are that the German bombers will stay at home rather than risk being unable to find their landing fields on their return, At the same time, there is no doubt but that the Germans are using this lull, created by the weather, to send squadrons back to Germany for consolidation—to close up the ranks of those missing, and for fitting additional armor and changing engines. The R. A. F. always Smploys is for that, purpose.

When a class became filled, it was closed: If other pupils’ slips came along that had these classes listed, another class in the same subject that met the same hour was listed. If this was not possible, the slips were sent back to be worked over. Every opportunity is given the pupils to make their own selection of teachers, Mr. Hadley said, because in the long run the choices spread out. A relatively small number of changes have to be made. After the slips all passed through the “assembly line” and were tabulated on a master chart, they were sent back to the home room teachers. Here the home room teachers “inked in” the other half of the study slips and “de-stubbed” them. They were then passed out to the pupils who took them to their prospective classes to be signed in by the instructor in charge. The slips for all the entering freshmen were filled out by Mr.
