CARDIFF WINS IN FIGHT FOR LIFE

Writer Watches Terriffic Free-for-All Against an Inflamed Sky.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN

CARDIFF, March 5 (Delayed)— Cardiff fought for its life and won last night in a colorful and bitter free-for-all with German bombers coming over in an attempt to give the city its second straight night of blitz. German pilots, British firefighters and anti-aircraft gunners fought until the skies over the Cardiff area were ablaze with the sparkle of exploding shells and roaring with the mingled din of motors and the resounding blasts of heavy guns. It went on hour after hour until early morning when the Germans finally made their last run over the area and sailed back to France. We first saw the Cardiff barrage

As we drove up from London we saw a string of 20 shells go off simultaneously on the moonlit horizon. Within five minutes we counted 200 other sparkles.

Hills Illuminated

When we got to Cardiff's outgkirts, the hills around the town were lighted up by constant flashes of guns and, as we paused, Wwe could hear their echoes rolling back and forth through the valley.

Overhead one plane after another came in, then swerved as a terrific barrage exploded straight across the sky. The blitz in a provincial town outdoes all but the most savage raids on London. The area of attack is smaller, planes run in fewer channels, gunfire is confined to a restricted stretch of sky, and there is action every minute of time. There seemed as many guns going off as you can hear in downtown London on a big night. At the same time, you lack the comforting feeling you have in London that 8,000,000 other people are

it has also heen demonstrated by other raids that a raid on a pro-

ninth and with adequate force, can

look comparatively untouched. That is what the Germans did not succeed in doing last night, though they certainly did their darndest.

“Only One Big Fire”

' When we drove into the city we could see hundreds of incendiaries splashing on the horizon. They resulted in only one fire. The first batch of incendiaries

Germans obliged with another and when that failed, with still another. This was still going on when we went to bed. When we got up and went around town this morning the only smoke we could see on the horizon came]

neys and there was not enough damage visible to be worth reporting.

NAZI BOMBS FALL ON "LONDON IN DAYIGHT

LONDON, March 6 (U. P.) —German bombs fell on London in daylight today for the first time since

500th air raid alarm of the war. Some damage was caused and at|D least nine persons were injured when a sports club house was demolished. Bombs also fell on an east coast town and destroyed a library and eight dwellings, A pedestrian and two persons in the library were killed. A postman, his wife and child were rescued from a house wrecked by a bomb in East Anglai. In eastern England a woman was injured when a raider machine gunned a market square. An R. A. F. plane, striking at the long distance German bombing planes attacking shipping in the Atlantic and acting as the “eyes” of German submarines, shot down one of them and severely damaged another yesterday, the Air Ministry said today. The British flying boat on patrol over Joe Atlantic caught both out at s It Bai believed that both the German planes were members of the fleet which has been attacking British ship convoys.

Experiment Here Seeks to Help Public Remain Level-Headed.

Indianapolis today was the testihg ground for an experiment in adult education designed to keep the public “level headed” in face of anticipated social, economic and political changes stemming from national rearmament. The experiment is known as the Bast Central Regional Conferene on Aclult Education and National -Defense. It opened in the Hotel Linicaln, The sponsor is the American Association for Adult Education which has held similar meetings in Chicago and Columbus, O.

civic leaders, public officials, and

Federal Government executives from surrounding states participated in the “free for all” discussions. They hope to stimulate local educators and leaders to initiate adult education programs in small cities and towns. The sponsors point out that total defense consists not only of armaments but adequate housing, conservation of resources, civil liberties, and spiritual values.

Educational Only

"The conference is not pro-British 0¢ anti-British, isolation or for war, thé sponsors declared. It is to be a place where the public “can learn the truth from those who know and where the public can get things off its chest if it desires.

In addition to the 100 on the program, nearly 50 prominent persons from institutions in Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Kentucky and Michigan are cn the “general” conference commit-

‘tee directing the local program.

Co-sponsors with the American Association for Adult Education, a {Carnegie endowed institution, is the Indiana University Extension Division with several other educational, religious and civic agencies. The principal speaker today is (Charles A. Hogan, representative of the American Association. He is to speak on “The Task of Adult Edication.” Federal Security Administrator Paul V.

SEEK 3D PETITION

IN SCHOOL BATTLE

MIDDLETOWN, Ind., March 6 (U. P.).—A ‘third petition "to dissolve Town Board authority over Middletown schools was sought today following a protest parade yesterday and charges of miscounting of names on a similar petition filed Tuesday night. Members of the citizens committee directing the protest movement charged that in counting the names on the petition, the Town Board

counted husband and wife as one,

but persons who later withMrew their names were counted individually. Trouble started three months ago when students and parents opposed Board action in removing iormer Principal Wilbur F. Shirey.

“THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

~ British Seize Ridge in Arctic Raid

WILLIAMS

United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, March 6—British and Norwegian naval forces, British troops and Norwegian Marines, in an audacious raid on the Norwegian Lofoten Islands Tuesday, captured 215 German and 10 Norwegian “Quisling” prisoners, destroyed 18,000 tons of shipping and a big glycerine plant and killed one German naval officer and six men, it was an-

nounced today.

The British and Norwegian forces landed a big supply of food, soap, cigarets, clothing and other comforts for the islanders and brought back with them a ‘considerable number” of Norwegian. patriots who wanted to fight for their country, the British and Norwegian Admiralties said in a joint communique.

Steaming up beyond the Arctic

Circle, the British and Norwegian

forces made a surprise attack in the best British naval tradition. They came back without a single casualty and not a bit of damage

to their ships, it was asserted.

It was the first time Norwegians had challenged the Germans on their own soil since the tragic days of last spring when the Germans

occupied the country.

While British and Norwegian light naval forces attacked shipping

AS FAR AS NEWSPAPERMEN Governor's office will be the hottes

and legislators are concerned, the t spot in town tonight.

Until midnight tonight, the office will be open to receive enacted

bills from the Legislature.

Any measures received after that will

be eligible to “pocket veto,” because the Legislature is scheduled to wind up its work not later than midnight Monday and the Governor

has three days in which to sign bills. If the Governor cares to sign any bills submitted to him after tonight’s midnight deadline, that’s all right. If he dissents, it’s his cwn business. So far as the Republican high command is concerned, everything it corisiders important will be in the Governor's hands by tonignt. Majority leaders in both houses scanned their lists before the recess gavels banged yesterday. In fact, Minority Leader Winfield K. Denton made a speech in the house on “the last ripper,” voicing a hope for peace and quiet during the swan-song hours of the House session. Yet less than 15 minutes after his dissertation, another “ripper” bill floated in and he had to back up. But from now on, most of the arguments will be on a personal

basis. ’ » f o

City Picks a Plum IT ISN'T GENERALLY known,

a pretty nice plum if the Legislators will go along. By amendments placed in the House-approved gasoline tax distribution bill, Indianapolis may be able to obtain help from the State Highway Commission in improving the 55 miles of State roads

within the City limits. As passed by the House, the City would have received about $950,000 in gasoline tax funds’ from the State, plus $65,000 for maintenance of State roads inside the limit. Under a Senate amendment, the City may ask the State department to make improvements if the City will surrender part of its benefits. In other words, it will be possible (if both houses and the Governor agree) for Indianapolis to obtain State help on South Side track elevation providing the improvement i§ on a state-main-tained road. It might be necessary for the City to sacrifice part of its $65,000 allotment (but only on a per mile basis) or some of .its other funds, but in the long run, the State would take over a major share of the cost. This amendment was put in after it was pointed out that South Bend and others which permitted the State to retain control over the State roads through the cities while accepting smaller shares in the State gasoline tax

the benefits of more than a million dollars worth of improvements. For South Siders who have been crying for needed track elevation, this will be welcome news.

8% =» =»

It All Depends.

IT WILL TAKE a battery of attorneys to figure out what has happened to Indiana after the legislators go home. For instance, there has been some question about whether repeal of the law setting up the Governor’s Commission on Unemployment Relief might cost Indiana $6,000,000 a year in Federal funds for WPA wages and $4,000,000 a year in surplus food commodities. The appropriation to carry on this work, transferred to the State Welfare Department, was cut from $1,200,000 to $400,000 for the next 15 months. The latter amount is insufficient, officials say —but. they point to the clause in the new welfare budget which provides that any extra appropriations needed to meet Federal re-. quirements shall be provided by the State. This undoubtedly would cover additional funds for WPA and surplus foods certification, they claim. As one Welfare official said: “It all depends upon who is running the department.” ,

ss =» =

Hot Potato Cools

THE OLD-AGE benefits “hot potato” is cooling Off rapidly,

R.A.F. to Get

thanks to Senator William E. Jenner.

It has been passed around from Democrats to Republicans, and vice versa, for two weeks. Neither party in the House had the political courage to say what it really felt and line up its members to vote that Avay.

After the House had fumbled around too long and shoved the - problem back over the Senate, it was up to Mr. Jenner to put on the brakes. Now the Senator from - Shoals has had his eyes on the Governorship for many months. He didn’t give up hope when he lost out in the 1940 convention. It was his bill, providing for a raise in the old-age maximum from $30 to $40 a month, which the House voted to wreck. At the start, Senato} Jenner probably figured its enactment would help his poltiical fortune.

But after the House had sidestepped the muddle into.which it had plunged itself in a few moments of grandstand “horseplay,” Senator Jenner stuck out his neck (so tar as the Townsend Clubs are concerned) to save the State from financial embarrassment. As majority leader, Senator Jenner has turned on his oratorical powers several times this session. But his speech yesterday asking the Senate to go along with him in getting this bill back on a . basis where old-age benefits will be a reality instead of a promise was his most eloquent.

And the Democrats who called it “the most courageous stand taken by a Senator this session or in recent years” weren't kidding. Most of them know that Mr. Jenner is on his own now—and that this one speech may mean much to him in the future. :

Democrats Go Along

THE G. O. P.-SPONSORED Stout liquor control. bill got House approval yesterday, but only after majority leaders did

some fast talking. Most of the Democrats went along. The measure now goes back to the Senate, which undoubtedly will ask a conference committee to go over the much-amended measure. It may even be heavily rewritten. It will get down to the Governor's office tomorrow or Saturday. He might veto the bill, which wouldn't make some G, O. P. leaders unhappy.

Four Days to Go

WITH ONLY FOUR more meeting days to go, it will require suspension of the rules in one of the houses to pass the three budget bills. Since it requires a two-thirds majority te suspend the rules, the Democrats could keep the Republicans up pretty late Monday (perhaps even Tuesday and Wednesday) if they wanted to be nasty. . . . A Houseapproved bills to help Indiana newspapers get faster and more accurate election returns is up for Senate consideration now. It provides that the inspectors in each precinct make a copy of the vote tally for newspapers. Unless something happens unexpectedly, the Milk Control Board will get another two years of life. The Farm Bureau has succeeded in getting the various dairy factions together and their Senatepassed bill is now ready for the House. There's a gentleman's agreement that there will be no amendments, although - several will be offered, and hopes are high for final passage. Even legislators feel that “enough is enough.” So a. House resolution calling for a constitutional amendment to make legislative sessions 91 days instead of 61 has been beaten.

The question immediately arose of the fate of the “Quislings,” who are regarded by the Norwegian Government in exile as traitors and thus presumably liable to the death penalty for aiding the Germans. The British and Norwegian forces sank nine German merchant ships, a Norwegian merchant ship in German service and a German armed trawler, 18,000 tons in all, including one German ship of about 10,000 tons which was fully laden.
