The prisoner was John B. Marsh. -= Marsh, who signed the affidavit against Dillon on which yesterday’s Taid was made, pleaded guilty to the burglary charge before Judge Dewey Myers in Criminal Court this morning. On the request of Prosecutor Blue, Judge Myers postponed sentencing Marsh until July 25 so that he could testify against Dillon in the gambling case.

LAPENTA EXEMPTION BEING CONSIDERED

Times Special

WASHINGTON, July 10. — State Department officials admitted today that the matter of granting an exemption from their deportation order for Dr. Vincent Lapenta, Indianapolis Italian Consul, is “under

\ consideration.”

The exemption would be based on the serious illness of Mrs. Lapenta. \Dr. Lapenta made a. secret visit ‘here some time ago and called on State Department officials accompanied by Rep. Louis Ludlow. He told them that he came to Indianapolis from Italy in 1905 and has not returned there since. He took out his first American citizenship papsrs in 1920, but failed to follow through and obtain his second papers. In the meantime he has continued to function as Italian Consul, all of wham have been ordered deported. With the intercession of Rep. LudJow, he may be permitted to remain, though State Department officials are loathe to grant any exemptions it was learned.

Dr. Vincent Lapenta could not be reached at his home, 6464 N. Meridian St. nor at his office, for comment today.

U. S. BUILDS TACTICAL POSITION, NAZIS SAY

BERLIN, July 10 (U. P.). — An authorized source charged today that the United States and Great Britain “together are evidently building up an aggressive and offensive tactical position” on Iceland. . Commenting on the American occupation of Iceland and British Prime Minister Churchill's state-

ment that British forces would re-

main there, the Nazi spokesman said the action could not be viewed as “merely exchanging forces for defensive purposes.” “The “only conclusion one can draw from the fact the British troops are remaining in Iceland” is that the two nations are establishing an offensive position, he said. The spokesman also called attention .to Wendell L. Willkie’s suggestion for American bases in North Ireland, and added: “One can see the American arm reaching out lustfully further and further toward Europe.”

the water near where the car and clothing were found yesterday. . Mr. McClure’s parents said that when their son did not come home Tuesday evening, they did not worry because he was in the habit of spending the night with friends without notifying them.

Lonnie McClure, brother of the drowned boy, said that friends of the youth told him they had heard the three talking of taking a trip Tuesday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. McClure had arisen at 3 o'clock this morning to go with a son-in-law, Arthur Kinnett, to Fall Creek in hopes of finding news

of their son.

Not knowing exactly where his car and clothing were found, they were unable to find the location and returned home. Unable to rest, they sat in the front. room of their cottage home, hoping for good news. Shortly after 7 a. m., their son, Lonnie, and Mr. Kinnett came to the house to comfort them. Mrs. McClure said that Robert had worked at “Wiles-Johnson Motors, Inc., but had not been working in the last couple of weeks. She said her son was interested in automobiles and spent much time at the home of a neighbor who owned several dirt-track racing cars. Mr. McClure asserted his son “couldn’t swim a lick” and he knew of no reason why he apparently had gone into the water. “He was too smart for that,” Mr. McClure said. The youth had graduated from Grade School 91, but did not attend high school. Besides his parents, and brother, Lonnie, the youth has one other brother, Wilbur, and a sister, Mrs. Myrtle Kinnett.

BRITISH MAKE HEAVY

RAIDS ON AXIS CITIES

By UNITED PRESS Britain’s air offensive continued to expand today. The official German news agency reported that 19 British planes had

| been shot down between Calais and

Boulogne about noon, indicating that a heavy force of planes had crossed the Channel. An Italian communique reported that 14 persons were dead and 30 wounded as a result of a low-level attack on Naples last night. Naples is 1000 miles from the nearest British base in North Africa. The attack followed daylight raids on Syracuse, Sicily and Benghazi and Tobruk in North Africa. At the same time Britisch bombérs were causing “much ihdustrial damage” at Aachen, Osnabruk, Bielefeld and Muenster, Germany, and Ostend, Belgium. The Germans claimed that Aachen Cathedral was damaged. Berlin claimed that German bombers had sunk five British vessels totaling 21,000 tons in an attack last night on a convoy at the mouth of the Bristol Channel.

Commander Who Punished ‘Yoo-hooers’ Was Expected at Fort.

BE | conduct of the unit subjected to

discipline was directed at young ladies and civilians on the golf links. The action called for prompt and immediate action. I saw fit to take such action. . . . A high state

of discipline is the foundation upon which all military attainment is based. ‘Loose conduct and rowdyism cannot be tolerated. I am confident there will be no repetition of the offense that occurred in Memphis.”

Telegraphs Lear Rep. Kilday telegraphed General Lear that it was his impression that the punishment “was actually to assuage your personal resentment because of remarks directed at you while you were not in uniform and your identity not known.”

“Newspaper accounts all give very |}

definite impression that the action taken by you in the name of discipline was actually to assuage your personal resentment because of remarks directed at you while not in uniform and your identity not known,” Rep. Kilday said. “Inasmuch as the division is a portion of your command, please advise me whether their misconduct came to your attention while you were in the field with your troops on important maneuvers or while on a golf course.

‘Mass Punishment’

“Also give me the precedent in military history for mass punishment of guilty and innocent alike by requiring long march without investigation to determine individual responsibility of men and after your determination of guilt without investigation or opportunity to be heard.” Rep. Everett M. Dirksen (R. Ill) said on the House floor that he “didn’t know whether public funds should be spent by some grouchy, golfing old general to develop sourpuss soldiers. But for my part, I'll take the kind of soldiers that these boys are,” he added

SEEK INCREASE IN VOLUNTARY SERVICE

WASHINGTON, July 10 (U.P.) .— Congressional ‘leaders today drafted legislation designed to make undisclosed inducements to selectees and National Guardsmen to volunteer for additional service.

The Selective Service tentatively fixed July 17 as the date ior the lottery to determine the order in which 750,000 new 21-year-old registrants will be called to service. The House planned toe conclude debate today on a Senate-approved bill which would automatically defer from Selective Service men who were 28 years or more on July 1. Administration leaders hoped that that the House would reject the Military Affairs Committee's revision of a Senate amendment, sponsored by Senator Tom Connally (D. Tex.) to authorize the President to exert military force to halt defense work stoppages.
