Fighting Bob’ Tyndall Still Commands Love and Esteem of Hoosiers LINDBERGH RAPS DRIFT TO WAR
|Four-fifths Oppose Entry, He Tells New York Audience.
NEW YORK, May 24 (U. P)— Charles A. Lindbergh told a mass meeting sponsored by the America ‘| First Committee last night that the nation was being led toward war "|over the opposition of four-fifths of the people—a war “in whith our losses are likely to run into the millions, and in which victory itself is doubful.” ‘| “We had no more chance ¢o vote on the issue of peace and war last November than if we had been a totalitarian state ourselves,” he told a crowd overflowing Madison Square Garden and bunched around loud speakers in the street. Mr. Lindbergh said he had opposed the Eurcpean war when it started because “I knew that England and France were not in a position to win and I did not want them to lose.* Now, he said, “I oppose our entry in the war because I do not beiieve that our system of government in America, and our way of life, can survive our .| participation.” Senator Burton K.

shows their best troops, it proves a point that should be included in the basic training of our great new Army. That point is—the Germans are not invineible. For the most part they are youngsters, who, under the guidance of competent officers, have developed a will to win which can’t come from the isolationism developed either in a Maginot line in France or by a Maginot mind in America. The general feeling here is that it ought to be shown to patriotic Americans in Indiana and elsewhere throughout the United States. Instead of the German bragging that accompanies the film, other comment could be dubbed in expressing the spirit Wendell L. Willkie showed in his Collier's piece entitled: “Americans! Don't Be Afraid!”®
Hoosier Pastor Leads
House Prayer
The Rev. William Nelson, pastor of Immanuel Evangelical and Reformed Church of Indianapolis, said the opening prayer in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. * “Teach us,” the Indianapolis pastor prayed, “th4t in the,final sense freedom cannot .be inherited, but . must be secured by each succeeding generation. “Help us to see clearly that unless we who breathe the free air of America today have a passionate concern for freedom, it will die.” -The Rev. Mr. Nelson was visiting Washington with his family and came to the House as a guest of Rep. George W. Gilli¢ [R. Ind.), who attended the Ft. Wayne church where the Rev. Mr. Nelson preached before coming to Indian- : Le

it will not frighten Americans. Any veteran of the A. E. P. would that certain high defense officials were greatly concerned over the
contract awards and have indicated they may seek White House intervention to get faster action. Of the $26,770.000,000 in appropriations and contract authorizations granted by Congress for both services since June 13, , only $14,020,000,000 has been songracen for up to May 1. Officials of the Office of Produs tion Management were said to feel it is essential that contracts for the remaining $12,000,000,000 be placed with all possible speed so that necessary arrangements can be made for production facilities, materials and transportation. -
Donald Nelson Aroused
One of those understood to have been aggravated by the situation is Donald Nelson, director of OPM’S purchasing division.” Reports circulated at OPM that Mr. Nelson was so aroused over the attitude of Army and Navy procurement officials that he was on the point of resigning. But Mr. Nelson told the United Press he has “no thought of
quitting.” Another official who was said to feel that armament planning must be measurably advanced ‘is William L. Batt, Deputy Director of Production. Mr. Batt, according te associates, believes that planning must go well beyond the contract stage to avoid a “too little too late” situation. OPM statistics showed that between June 13, 1940, when the first big defense appropriation - was made, and the first of this year, the Army and Navy awarded contracts totaling $10,655,000,000. More than half of that total represented awards made in the first three and one-half months of that périod.
February Awards Drop
In the first four months this year—January through April—the Army and Navy's awards totalled $3,505,000,000. In January the contracts let by the two services totalled $1,080,000,000. But the Februery total! dropped to only $465,000,000, the second lowest month sinee the defense program got under way. March awards jumped to $1,813,000,000 but in April there was a drop to $652,000,000. OPM experts estimated that de= fense spending, that is actual disbursements for materials produced, must total nearly two billions a month in 1942 to meet the needs of the expanding armed forces and the lease-lend program. In the first four months this year, the cash ouigo for defense

Retired After 44 Years
And the least affected of all those who came to do him honor was Robert Henry dall, better known to his old buddiés at the Columbia Club as just plain “Bob.” * The General, as everybody knows, was retired from the Arnmiy after 44 years of military life, climaxed by getting one of the nation’s first]. peace-time military camps in order. The festivities go} under way with Mr. Wynkaopp, the famed Lebanon newspaperman and toastmaster deluxe; telling his audience it was refreshing to gather to honor a man at a time when s60 many were being damned. He looked up and down the line of the long speaker's table and introduced service club presidents, civic leaders, busiriessmen and old pals of the General, before his eyes fell upon Governor Schricker. -
Governor Voices State Pride “Henry Schricker learned a lot of card games while he was the chief of the Knox Fire Department but he’s been playing a lot of solitaire lately at the State House,” he said as he introduced the first citizen of Hoosierland. “The opportunity to co-operate with the Columbia Club has been all top infrequent,” responded the Governor and getting serious— “We're proud as Hoosiers to do you honor, General Tyndall, and the people that I represent are more than grateful for your distinguished service.” Lieut. Gov. Charles Dawson added his compliments, followed by the Rev. E. Ainger Powell, pastor of Christ Church. The military honors were paid by Col. W. S. Drysdale, commandant of Ft. Harrison. Presented Silver Loving Cup presenting the club, asi dent John Ruckelshaus presented the General a silver loving cup— “symbolic of the high esteem and regard in which he is held by his fellow members.” And then the cheers rang out as Toastmaster Wynkoop introduced the honored guest. “The greatest compliment in the world is a dinner like this,” said the General simply. And that was about all that General Tyndall said about the honors. He told of the early days of Camp Shelby and made Col. Drysdale beam when he remarked that the best equipped men sent to the southern camp hailed from old Ft. Ben in Indianapolis. “The boys are training well and they’ll be well trained, although we still haven't got enough equipment,” he said. The Rev. Powell spontaneously started “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow” and they wound up by shaking the rafters with their cheers. And with that, a new “Fighting Bob.” this time a civilian fighter, sat back—knowing deep in his heart that his good friends walked shoulder to shoulder with him in his fight to toughen the lines back of the lines.

KING EMMANUEL CHEATS DEATH
Greek Held in Albania for Attempt to Assassinate Italian King.
ROME,: Mey 24 (U. P).—King Victor Emmanuel escaped assassingtion in Albania on May 17, it was|iars, disclosed ' today, when a Greek “poetic maniac” named Mihanloff Vasil Laci fired revolver shots toward the automobile in which he was riding with Albanian Premier Shefket Verlaci. The shots were in the general direction of the automobile “in which the King and Premier were riding toward the airport but all went wild, an official communique said. Laci was saved from lynching and scheduled for immediate trial before a military court but authorities said they were investigating whether he had accomplices or merely sought ' personal revenge against Albanian officials because they had not found a job for him. No One Hit No one was hit by the young Greek’s shots, it was said official Verlaci is a Moslem and Albania’s richest ldnd owner. The assailant was said to have told Italians that he entertained personal resentment against members of the Albanian Government because they had not given him employment. He carried the small revolver in his shirt and pulled it out as the royal car passed. It was the second time the King has escaped an as'sassin. Although Laci’s bullets failed to hit any person it was learned reliably that one bullet did hit the rear tire of the automobile carrying the King and the premier Sensis a blowout. The car continued i journey, however. . Following the shooting, the Italian King continued to the airport where he reviewed a guard of honor. Spectators said that there was nothing in his attitude to indicate that- he had been in danger.

island from boats, it was said authoritatively today. . Admitting that the situation at Malemi was “not so good,” in-
formants said the Germans there had received reinforcements from
protuhly small field guns and mor-
mand in a special communique today said that the Luftwaffe had won mastery of the air over Crete, that the western part of the Mediterranean island was firmly in German hands and that reinforced Nazi air-borne troops were on the offensive against the British.
Germans Told of Raid
The German alr force has smashed the attempts of the British Fleet to intervene in the conflict, sinking a large number of enemy warships, according to the German High Command. Despite official denials, the in-
vasion of Crete was generally regarded in both official German and
.|foreign quarters in Berlin as a
“dress rehearsal” for possible future invasion of Britain. The special Berlin communique, giving Germans their first official
tword of the unprecedented aerial in-
vasion, followed the regular High Command communique which said the German air attacks had sunk three British destroyers, severely damaged three others and sunk five British speed boats in Suda Bay.
Fierce Fighting Under Way
British, New Zealand and Greek forces are holding positions east of the Malemi airdrome and fierce fighting is under way, London officials said. Reports from Cairo sald that the Allied troops were storming the German positions, but authoritative statements here made it quite plain that the Germans were there in strength, and had strong positions. As regards sea-borne troops, it was said that it was improbable that the British Navy would be able to prevent every German vessel from reaching Crete in view of its proximity to the Greek mainland and the large num of German and Italian controlled islands in the
a. It was obvious, informants said,
great difficulties in contending with dive bombing airplane attacks. In all but the Malemi area, the situation in Crete seemed to be improving materially. New Planes Arrive Hourly
New German planes were reported reaching Crete each hour, and other planes were trying to keep the men supplied with ammunition and
Military experts believed the climax of the battle would come this week-end. Hope grew that the Allied forces could continue to account for or keep isolated the succeeding waves of Nazi troops. If they could do so, and the Navy continued to hold off sea-borne reinforcements, the Imperial and Greek troops would win the first great victory over the German army since the war began. It was estimated that a least 10,000 Germans had been ‘“disopesd of” since’ the invasion started in the dark hours of Tuesday morning. But reports emph: that the flow of Germans ntinued unabated. ;

Wounding of 2 Americans |“. During Raider’s Attack Brings New Study.
WASHINGTON, May 24 (U. P). The State Department today reexamined circumstances surrounding the sinking of the Egyptian steamship Zamzam by a German
raider ‘in the South Atlantic. last month, in the light of revelation that two Americans had been wotinded in the shelling of the ship.
awk,
terday that U. S. Consul Henry S. Waterman at Bordeaux had reported that Ned Laughinghouse of Wilson, N. C., and Francis J. Vicovari wounded and are remaining aboard a German vessel. From Vichy came reports that they were -injured when the German surface raider sent several shells into the Egyptian vessel. The liner’s agents have listed 140 Americans as passengers aboard the Zamzam but latest reports to the State Department indicated there may have been 145. Of these 135 have been listed: as ‘‘safe” Biarritz. The Berlin assertion that passengers and crew of the ship had been Tr to a place of safety before the vessel was sunk seemed to indicate that the Germans had leaned over backward to avoid another “incident” such as those which contributed to. U. S. entry into the World War in 1917. The: Germans claimed the ZamZam’s cargo was contraband. That fact would give the raider the right to seize the vessel as a prize of war and take it to port, but also would be abliged to place the passengers in a safe spot. But according to the new reports, the raider apparently fired first and then removed the ers. Should developments prove that international law was violated the
