Served 2 Terms

Mr. Foster, who was 87, served two terms in the Indiana General Assembly, representing Jefferson and Scott counties. He also had been -a Jefferson County Commissioner for two terms and had been at one time a member of the State Highway Commission. Survivors include his son, George Foster, of Deputy, and a daughter, Mrs. Adelaide Edwards, 3465 N. LaSalle St., Indianapolis. Services will be held tomorrow at the Foster home. +. WILLIAM GLOGOVSECK, soldier stationed at Ft. Knox, Ky., was critically injured when his car and another collided near Rushville’ on Ind. 44. He was taken to a Paoli hospital. One death was reported in Indiana due to fireworks, at least one other person was killed in the nation. An aerial bomb, explosion at Connersville was responsible for the death of Joseph Louis Speec, 25, of Cincinnati. Mr. Speec was conducting a display-when the accident happened. At Kansas City, an aerial bomb exploded. into a crowd at a fireworks display and killed L. E. Ballard Jr., 4, and seriously injured his mother and 2-year-old sister. At least seven other persons suffered minor burns from the explosion. Touched off accidentally, the bomb shot horizontally into a group of children and threw them into a panic. Richard Gibeaut, 21, was electrocuted while lowering a flag from a power pole at Des Moines, Iowa. The National Safety Council predicted at least 475 would be killed in automobile accidents during the three days and feared the total might be even higher.

FEAR JAPANESE MOVE TO SOUTH

Shanghai Sources Suspect Attempted Seizures in Indo-China.

By A. T. STEELE

SHANGHAI, July 5—Reports of

renewed Japanese interest in the

South Pacific while Soviet Russia is preoccupied with her desperate war with Germany, are gaining wide circulation here. According to these stories, which

originate in Tokyo and are wholly lacking in confirmation, Japan intends to take advantage of the present situation in the north to complete the job she has long deand aerial - bases in Southern IndoChina and Thailand. Reputedly, this was one of the decisions reached at the imperial conference in Tokyo, concluded earlier this week, though there is no Japanese naval or military office here who will admit it.

Tokyo Officials Silent

The Japanese Government remains mum on important decisions reached during the week-long deliberations. However, most observers here interpret the brief statements issued by the cabinet and Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka as indicating that, toward Russia, the Japanese will maintain a sit-tight policy until there is a break in the Russo-Ger-man conflict. When and if that break comes, the Japanese may be expected to act: boldly, either diplomatically or by force of arms, to realize their long-cherished ambitions in the Soviet Far East. Reliable travelers tell of heavy movements of Japanese military supplies northward through Manchukuo, but neutral military experts say that the strengthening of Japan's’ North Manchukuan defenses is a natural precaution against any contingency.

Map Stand on U. S.

It is also believed that Japan’s imperial conference decided the Government's attitude toward. any American attempt to dispatch supplies to Russia via Vladivostok, but no hint of such decision has been received here. Southern Indo-China is important for its potential bases at Camranh bay and Saigon which the Japanese have long coveted. Thailand has airports and harbors which would be of immense value to the Japanese as bases for menacing Malaya, Singapore, Burma or British shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean.

They not only have to fire an explosive at the Jefferson Proving Grounds at Madison—they must also see what it does. when it explodes. In order to protect its observers at such a ticklish task, the Army has devised what is probably the’ first bomb shelter with a view. Concrete booths have been erected with walls 12 to 18 inches thick, with an 18-inch ceiling, reinforced with steel “I” beams. The window is one-half inch wide and is made up of metal step-down ridges, so that any shell fragment which may strike near the slit will

not be so likely to ricochet into the slit. Besides, the slit is protected at. the small end with ‘inch-thick bullet-proof glass. The concrete booths are banked with earth to further protect them. The only entrance is a five-eighths-inch steel armor-plate door. There are 19 observation and recovery fields at the proving grounds, ranging from 3000 to 16,000 yards from the firing line. Shell fragments and bomb splinters are dug from the recovery fields for inspection. The shelters are connected to the

firing line by telephone.

Text of the President's

Independence Day Address

HYDE PARK, N. Y., July 5 (U. P.) —Following is the text of Presi-

dent Roosevelt's Independence Day address:

In 1776, on the fourth day of July, the representatives of the several states in Congress assembled, declaring our independence, asserted that a decent respect for the opinion of mankind required that they should declare the reasons for their action. In this new crisis, we have a like duty. In 1776 we waged war in behalf of the great principle

that government should derive its just powers from the consent of the governed. In the century and a half that followed, this cause of human freedom swept across the world. But now, in our generation—in the last few years—a new re-

MAGNETIC STORMS DELAY WAR NEWS

NEW YORK, July 5 (U. P.)—A severe magnetic storm interferred with communications facilities throughout. a large part of the world today and interrupted transmission of war news from the German and Russian war centers for an unusually long period. All wireless contact with Moscow was brdken about midnight and no news - dispatches from the Soviet capital have been transmitted since then, according to communications companies, and all European points were cut off or exceedingly difficult to contact. The only war dispatches regarding Russia came from London, where it was still possible to pick up the Moscow radio broadcast. Aurora Borealis, the cantankerous astral phenomenon, was blamed for the break in communications.

WITH BRITISH FORCES IN LEBANON-SYRIA, June 28 (Delayed) .—A point of land called Ras Nebi Younes is as far as we feel like going on the coastal road of Lebanon, Between us and the most advanced British positions toward Beirut curves a sandy beach where Jonah is said to have been regurgitated by the whale. Of mare immediate interest is the fact that the crossroads a little farther on is under French artillery fire while beyond the next headland is the town of Damour, 10

where the French are strongly entrenched. From Ras Nebi Younes, we peer through glasses at the rooftops of Beirut on the furthermost headland. ‘A moment ago a Vichy French bomber swished low over the top of a hillock, roaring past, a couple of hundred yards from us, heading south. We had felt the impulse to wave when we saw the tri-color markings on the fuselage, but then the bomber’s machine guns opened up farther down the road and the spattering bullets hit a couple of Australian soldiers near some trucks.

IT IS, INDEED, a fallacy, based on no logic, for any American to suggest that the rule of force can defeat human freedom in ‘all the other parts of the world and allow it to survive in the United States alone. But it has been that childlike fantasy itself—that g misdirected faith— which has led nation after nation to go about its peaceful tasks, relying on the thought, and even the promise, that it and its life and its Government would be allowed to live when the juggernaut of force came that way. It is simple—I could almost say simple-minded—for us Americans to wave the flag, to reassert our belief in the cause of freedom— and to let it go at that. Yet, all of us who lie awake at night—all of us who study and study again, know full well that in these days we cannot save freedom with pitchforks and muskets. ” ” 2

WE KNOW, TOO, that we cannot save freedom in our own midst, in our own land, if all around us —our neighbor nations—have lost their freedom. That is why we are engaged in a serious, in a mighty, in a unified action in the cause of the

defense of the hemisphere and the -

freedom of the seas. We need not the unity alone, we need speed and efficiency and toil—and an end to the backbiting and to the sabotage which runs far deeper than the blowing up of munitions plants. I tell the American people solemnly that the United States will never survive as a happy and prosperous oasis of liberty in the midst of a desert of dictatorship. And so it is that when we repeat the great pledge to our country and to our flag, it must be our deep conviction that we pledge as well our work, our will and, if it be nceessary, our lives.”

Australians have taken the town of Chehim. We go to Chehim. The road is dusty -and steep-climbing, with many curves whence we can glimpse the blue Mediterranean below. We pass a village where mer-

chants are selling fruit, tomatoes and onions to the Aussies as they had to French troops only a short time before. It looks quiet but the men are all wearing helmets and full equipment. Farther on and higher up in the hills, the road worsens, Our truck takes a detour where Australian engineers are clearing out land mines and stops where troops are resting under olive trees. “Don’t think the road to Chehim is cleared yet,” a helmeted, sandymustached major tells us. “We think the Froggies have mortars up there.” A dispatch rider comes up with a request from the road up ahead for an engineers’ truck. . We follow the truck. Through another village the trucks rumble in low gear and villagers stand in groups and stare— except the old ones with red fezes and gray beards, for whom the war is old stuff and whose main concern is to dodder along to where they are going. Chehim is

REDS UNIFIED BY STALIN APPEAL

Men, Women and Children Ask How They Can Serve; Girls Aid in Harvest.

By HENRY, SHAPIRO United Press Staff Correspondent

MOSCOW, July 5—Josef Stalin’s announcement that .a grave situa-

tion confronts Russia appears today: to have rallied the nation around the Central Defense Committee. All resources were being mobilized to defense. Immediately after Stalin’s speech thousands of Russians streamed to assembly halls and outdoor meeting places to hear orators explain the situation and to pledge support. I saw scenes reminiscent of descriptions of Civil War days. Men, women and children asked how they could serve. Many hurried to Red Cross stations and volunteered for blood transfusions. Housewives, house maids and girl students inquired where they could enroll for nursing courses.

Girls to Aid in Harvest

Seven country girls who had been doing domestic work in the apartment house in which I live resigned. They said they must return to their villages to help the old men and women to harvest. High school and university students may be seen trooping all day to railroad stations, with gas masks slung from their shoulders, singing military songs. They are on their way to farms and factories to relieve mobilized men. Younger children are doing guard work, digging trenches and collecing books for the wounded and containers for sand to put out incendiary bombs.

Mothers Are Stolid

I have seen tense scenes in central gatherin places where mothers part with evacuated children. But the mothers remain stolid and their grim faces are tearless. In the streets, people who line up for newspapers and usually

surrender their places to no one,

give them up for soldiers now. The most distinguished volunteer for front duty yesterday was Dimitri Shostakovich, internationally celebrated young composer,: who wired from Leningrad an application to join the army “for the destruction of Fascism.”

Found, a Counter

Clockwise Snail

SAN FRANCISCO, July 5 (U. P)—Allyn 6G. Smith, research associate at the California Acad-. emy of Sciences, said today his search of years had ended. He said he found a snail whose shell spirals wound counter clockwise. The escargot, he explained, is a million-in-one rarity, and he has had friends searching: their gardens for years for one. Royal Stewart, of Berkeley, one of his amateur snail sleuths, found one last night. The normal snail, Mr. Smith said, has a clockwise spiral. He didn’t say, however, ‘what he planned to do with the freak now

Some of Chehim’s 2000 population are standing around, staring at the Australians, who are standing or sitting and resting, oblivious to the gaping citizenry. The Gendarmerie has a hallway with rooms on either side. One room, with a grilled: window, has a sign over the door, “La Prison.” There is nothing in it except a straw mat and a water pitcher on the floor. The other rooms are the Gendarmes’ dormitories, and offices full of dossiers, mostly in Arabic. The beds in the dormitories are not made up but the uniforms in the

MOSCOW CLAIMS}

Reich Conceals Loss of]

Many of Its Finest Divisions, Reds Say. MOSCOW, July 5 (U. P.) —Russia

: |asserted today that German losses |in killed and wounded totaled at

least 700,000 men since the start of

the war. It was said that three days of

flerce and incessant fighting on the

important Berezina River Front, east ‘of Minsk had developed unfavorably to the Germans and that all Nazi attempts to force a crossing of the river had been repulsed. It was admitted that the Germans had made some gains in the Dvinsk area of the Baltic Front. (The Russian claim of 700,000 German casualties as picked up by the United Press in London from the Moscow radio was: (“Mendacious German propaganda is daily spreading inventions about fantastic ‘numbers of prisoners the Germans have made, with equally’ fantastic claims regarding our losses of tanks and planes. Raps ‘Lying Propaganda’ (“Finally this lying propaganda switched over to a new method. of simply stating that the number of Soviet. planes destroyed since June 22 had been increased by from 20 to 25 per cent. (“Our only comment on this is that German propaganda is concealing from the German people that some of the finest divisions of their army have been destroyed and the numbers of Germans killed or wounded totals 700.000.”) The early war communique reported violent fighting on the Dvinsk, Boz Kcywisk and Tarnopol Fronts and said that in other sectors the Russians were holding firmly against Germans who were trying to drive wedges into Russian territory. - On the Dvinsk Front, the communique said, the Germans brought up large tank units and motorized infantry. They attacked but Russian troops held their positions stubbornly, it was said. With the arrival of reserves which | the Germans were compelled tio throw into the battle, the Russians withdrew to their next defense line, it was admitted.

Repulse Fierce Attack

The Russians repulsed a fierce tank attack in the Lepel sector, southeast of Dvinsk and nerth of Minsk, the communique said, but the Germans succeeded in advancing a few kilometers after German planes came to their aid. In the Tarnopol sector east of Lwow, the communique said, the Russians repulsed an attack by superior forces. Russian airplanes battered German airports and checked the advance of motorized troops after inflicting severe losses on ‘them, it was The Supreme Soviet voted last night to increase taxes from 50 per cent to 200 per cent, depending on occupation and income, as a temporary war measure.

GERMANY ANXIOUS, EDEN DECLARES

LEEDS, England, July 5 (U.P.).— Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden said in a speech today that the Red Army was “hitting back” against the Germans and hinted that Rudolf Hess, No. 3 Nazi, fled to Britain because he was anxious about Germany’s future.

“However little the German people may be encouraged to speculate and reflect, there are some who begin to see the perils ahead -and are correspondingly anxious and perplexed,” Eden said. “The resultant confusion of thought finds expression in a

the parachute descent of a deputy fuehrer on a Scottish farm. “We shall no doubt see stranger happenings than that before we arg through with the men who now rule Germany.”
