It claimed that Nazi columns had been stopped at Kremenetz, halfway between Luck and Tarnapol and just east of Brody. Another big battle was in: progress at Zbarazh, just northeast of Tarnapol. Nazis Nearing Kiev

The Russian statement indicated that German columns were driving forward in a rapid, dispersed front of about 90 miles, apparently with the intention of getting east of the

Dniester River and turning the].

Russian positions defending Kiev from the rear. "At Shepetovka the Germans are “about 140 miles west and slightly .south of the Ukraine capital. -. __ The German drive on the Central Front showed little sign of slack“ening. However, the Moscow com‘munique claimed that Red troops have made a strong stand on the banks of the Berezina River, 50

‘miles east of Minsk and brought Nazi columns at least to a temporary halt at that point. * Minsk, itself, although now considerably behind the advance guard fighting, apparently is still in Rus‘sian hands. Its capture has not _been claimed by Berlin nor has its loss been admitted by Moscow. There was no report of substantial advances by the Germans on the Baltic Front or on the Far Northern Front where a drive against Murmansk is in progress. However, London expressed con‘cern regarding a German drive "from Dvinsk toward Leningrad and

use of the armed forces should be removed to prevent hamstringing the development of the Army “into a force immediately available for whatever measures may be neces-

sary.” - Under present law, the Army cannot use selectees, National Guardsmen, or. reserve officers called to active duty outside the Western Hemisphere. “So we have become involved in a complete confusion of restrictive details regarding personnel,” the general said. “Add to this problem the fact that plans for large units must cover every conceivable centingency, based on the means available, that time is required to prepare such a force; and that under present conditions we must submit these plans to the time consuming business of public investigation and debate — along with the advertisement of such plans to the world at large, and I submit that the limitations referred to should be removed as quickly as possible if we are to have a fair opportunity to - protect ourselves against the coldly calculated, secret and sudden action that might be directed against us. :

Calls Risks Serious

“Incidentally, our history includes some unfortunate incidents resulting from quite similar legal difficulties, which risks a battle or possibly a campaign. In the present crisis, the risks to the nation are far more serious.” . “Whatever we do for the national defense should be done in the most efficient manner,” Gen. Marshall said. “Differences of views regarding national policy should not, it seems to me, be permitted to ob-

aration of the armed forces for service, which has been the purpose of our vast program the last 12 months. When and where these forces are to serve are questions to be determined by their Commander-in-Chief: and the Congress and should not be confused with the

Wheeler Opposes Move

Congressional comment on Gen. Marshall's recommendations .included: Sen. Alva B. Adams (D. Colo.) said: “Here is one vote they won’t get for that. This is another step in what appears to be a long program. Each week something new, something additional is asked.” Senator Elbert D. Thomas (D. Utah), ranking Democratic member of the Senate Military Committee, said the move is desirable from the point of view of Army administration and “is a step in the development of unity of command.” Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) said: “I'm completely opposed to it.” Senator Sheridan Downey (D. Cal): “I certainly would be very much opposed to removal of any prohibitions against the use of selectees outside the - Western Hemisphereunless it is pretty definitely established that war is imminent.”

Suggests Side Road Use The State Highway Commission,

anticipating congested traffic lanes on the major highways advises those

who can to take side roads as much as possible. : They explain that the little used roads are in good repair and while using them will require driving a few more miles, time will probably be saved because of the absences of traffic. The Highway Commission has removed as many detours as possible to speed travel. Travel, however, will not be confined to the highways. Planes leaving Municipal Airport are practically “booked solid,” and while train and bus reservations have been few these mediums of travel are expected to be crowded also. : Most of those fleeing the city heat for the coolness of the country are expected to wind up at one or another of the Indiana State Parks.

State Parks Beckon

The parks have a combined picnic table capacity of 20,000 persons and, according to the Conservation Department, will probably be inadequate. Here is a list of State Parks, how to get there and how many miles it is to shade, fried chicken and ice cold water: : Turkey Run—Take Road 36 to Rockville for 58 miles then north on Road 41 for eight miles to Road 47 and then east for two miles to the park. Distance from Indianapolis, 68 miles. To McCormick’s . Creek—Take Road 67 southwest to Spencer, then Road 46 east for three miles to the. park. Distance, 59 miles. Spring Mill—Take Road 37 to Mitchell then east on Road 60 to the park. Distance, 87 miles. . Brown County—Take Road 135 to Nashville then east three miles to the park. Distance, 46 miles. Clifty Falls—Take Roads 135 and 144 to Franklin then Road 31 to Columbus and Road 7 from Columbus to Madison and west on Road 56 to the park. Distance, 88 miles. Muscatatuck—Take Roads 135 and 144 to Franklin, then on Road 31 to Columbus: and on Road 7 to the park just south of North Vernon. Distance, 65 miles. Mounds Only 40 Miles Mounds—Take Road 67 northeast past Anderson to park. Distance, 40 miles. Pokagan—Take Road 37 northeast through Marion to Huntington and Road 24 to Ft. Wayne and then on Road 27 to park. Distance, 156 miles. Dunes—Take Roads 28 and 35 northwest through Logansport to U. S. 30 then west to Valparaiso and north on Road 49 to park. Distance, 154 ‘miles. Shakamak—Take Road 67 southwest to Switz City then Road 54 to Linton then north on Road 59 to Jasonville' and then 48 to the park. Distance, 82 miles.

LATVIA

The German High Command reported steady progress today in its penetration of Russia proper toward the chief cities of Moscow, Kiev and Leningrad. Moscow admitted complete German occupation of vast areas in Sovietized Latvia, Lithuania and Poland. Germany claimed it was destroying the remnants of a great Red Army destroyed earlier in the Bialystok area on the road to Minsk, Smolensk and Moscow.

man said he hadn’t been feeling well all day. It didn’t seem to be a popular adventure. Finally, Mr. Gill found Leonard London, a husky janitor, who looked as though he ought to be able to make it. Mr. London didn’t say anything, but you could see from the way he rolled his eyes that the whole: idea sounded silly to him. As we left for the elevator that was to take us as high as the fourth floor, Mr. Gill pressed a thermometer into my hand. It had a humidity indicator on it, too. Then he gave me a towel and his parting words were that former Governor Paul V. McNutt once climbed up there and got down safely. Cheered by the former Governor’s achievement, I followed Mr. London to. the elevator. At the

newspaperman is that you can always go through those doors marked “No Admittance” if you know the right people. Only too often, however, they simply lead into broom closets or places as undesirable as the State House dome. We entered a dark, dank passageway which led to a flight of stone steps. It was cool enough. But it was spooky. You could imagine bats and other creatures flitting about, but there wasn’t a sound. Even the bats shunned this place. Mr. London led the way. The steps were circular, winding around and around between spiral stone walls. Every other turn was a dim light which cast a pale, yellow radiance for a few feet, then disappeared. We climbed on. Mr. London seemed tireless. I wondered if he was breathing as hard as I was. At length, as my knees threatened to go on strike, we reached a large chamber, in the center of which arched a stained glass skylight. The dome and tower stretched up above us. From the steel catwalk, a circular, steel stairway revolved upward for nearly 100 feet. Already, it was getting hot and I began to appreciate the towel.

On a job like this, the best thing you can .do is to look up. When you look down, you have a tendency to clutch hold of the staircase railing and your progress tends to stop. You get dizzy and even catch yourself thinking unpleasant things about the City Editor. Mr. London was puffing now. I began to have a wholesome respect for the prowess and determination of Federal Security Administrator McNutt who underwent this ordeal on a voluntary basis. Half way up, tiie tower began to revolve like one of those big barrels they have at amusement parks. It took semetime for me to realize that it wasn’t the tower that was going around; it was I. Unexpectedly, we reached the top. The staircase opened into an octagonal chamber with windows on the eight sides. We stood still, reathing hard and perspiring. Looking east, our eyes seemed to be on a plane with the observation platform of the Monument over on the Circle. Quiet and hot below us, the City spread away to the north and east, tiny pedestrians and motorcars . moving slowly along the white streets.

On the horizon was a white cloud bank. It didn't appear to be moy-

I had been holding on to the rail-

covered how hot it was. I don’t suppose you could fry steaks on it exactly, but you couldn’t hold on very long.

I remembered my thermometer. It was caught in my et. I worked it out and looked. e humidity needle said 55. I didn’t know whether that was good or bad; it felt bad. Then I started to read the temperature through a haze of perspiration and foul air. The mercury said 74—at least 15 degrees cooler than the street level at that hour! . I couldn’t believe it. It was so hot up there you could hardly breathe, yet the thermometer said 74. It was then with a little chill of horror that I began to understand the thermometer was broken. So, I can't tell you how hot it is up there in the State House tower. All I can report is that it is hot enough to stay away from for the rest of the summer. Like the City Editor says, everybody ought to be glad that it isn’t as hot down here as it was up there yesterday afternoon.

It is estimated that the 136 branch managers receive at least $300,000 a year in fees. This comes from 25 cent notary fees, charged in connection with the issuance of license plates and certificates of title, and 10 cent fees charged for the issuance of drivers’ licenses. : From these fees the branch managers must pay their office rent and clerical hire.

CHICAGO, July 3 (U. P.)~The punches Joe Louis threw in the ring won him a fortune. Those he

is accused of throwing at home prompted his wife to seek a divorce. A divorce petition with those allegations was filled in Cook County Circuit Court by Mrs. Marva Trotter Barrow, 25, onetime stenograDher, who married e heavyweight Mrs. Louis champion Sept. 24, 1935.

The bombers wife said he had struck her in “fits of temper” last Jan. 2 and again in April “w lly without provocation.” She asked a divorce with “reasonable living

earnings of more than $1,000,000 and annual income estimated at $250,000. She also asked the Court to restore her maiden name, Marva Trotter. o ” ”

At Detroit, Louis expressed surprise but said he didn't think he would contest the divorce. “If she wants one, what good would it do for me to try to force her to remain my wife,” he said. He denied the charges of “extreme and repeated cruelty” in the petition. “I did a lot of shadow boxing around the house,” he said, “but never once did I lay a hand on her. We have had an occasional argument, but I thought all of them were settled. Lots of married folks have ’em.”
