DENVER, July 14.—I've nosed around quite a few Army camps in my brief span of years, but I've never yet run onto such a nice relationship between city and camp as exists here between Denver and Lowry Field. . ’ Denver likes its camp. And the camp likes Denver. Officers say Lowry Field is one of the best spots in the Army, and when transferred they go reluctantly. There wasn’t any Lowry Field until about thyee years ago. The Army just bought an old T. B. sanitarium out at the east edge of Denver, and started adding to it. Today the place has more than 7000 men. It is not fundamentally an Air Corps flying field—it is actually a huge school. Its sole rea4 son for existence is the training of technical men (not flyers) for the Air Corps. | Lowry Field is a branch of what is known as the Air Corps Technical School. There are now three of them over the country, and before long there will be five. ; “i The home school is at Chanute Field, Ill. But Chanute is just chockablock and they can’t cram another soldier in there. So branches have been created at Scott Field, Ill, and at Denver. Two more are building—at Wichita Falls, Tex.,

and Biloxi, Miss. Within a year each of these will

have up to 25,000 soldiers studying to be airplane mechanics. There are a like number at Chanute. Scott Field is full. Here at Denver there will be 13,000 before the snow flies. Nearly 100,000 men, preparing to keep our Army planes in the air. : A person would almost think there was a war on, wouldn’t he? Just Like a University Lowry Field is just like a university, divided into its various colleges. Lowry University, if you want to call it that, has three colleges—clerical, armament, and photographic. There are constantly some 2500 men going through

these three schools, and the number grows every day. It takes about four months for a soldier to go

“{hrough. When he finishes, he is sent out'to some

active tactical unit to serve. It takes about 5000 men as a permanent staf to run this school. That means it takes two men to support every student. And as for faculty, the Army outdoes civilian schools—here there is one teacher for every six students. The whole thing, believe me, is on a large scale.

; Let's take the photographic school as an example.

THE WAY ,WE GET it, Mrs. Elias Atkins had the

| guards at the E. C. Atkins plant in a dither the other " evening. It’s this way: Because the plant is engaged

in defense work, every visitor must sign upon enter-

ing. and check out when leaving. Mrs. Atkins is no exception to this rule. So, when she stopped at the plant the other day. to pick up her husband, she signed in and went to his office. . But when they left they went out another door. Neither she nor Mr. Atkins gave it a thought until late that night when one of the plant guards called Mr. Atkins. “The visitor's book deesn’t check,” reported the guard.: “As near as I can figure out there’s someone still in the plant.” Even then, Mrs. Atkins’ visit didn’t, occur to them and it was only after a name-by-name check that the matter was straightened out. : Tsk! Tsk!

WASHINGTON, July 14.—In a chess game, the decisive move that determines the outcome may occur in the early plays, for instance in a slight shitting of 4 humble pawn. One small move of a relatively weak piece may so alter the strategy of the game as to dictate the end. "Could it be possible that the Iceland move is such a decisive incident in this war? We won’t know perhaps for a long time, but I think a good case could be argued to that’ effect. This may very well he the turn. It may very well be the slight move that will ‘dictate in the end that Hitler cannot win.

To win, Hitler must crush England and get out on the Atlantic. Otherwise he remains landlocked. Our move into Iceland carries with it the necesSity of protecting the ocean to that outpost. It involves, as Secretary Knox has plainly indicated, a determination by the United States to clear German raiders out of the North Atlantic. : ; If we succeed in that, we together with the British are almost certain to keep open the sea lanes from the United States to England. i

A Matter of Time

It means a steadily rising flow of war supplies and, above all, of planes to England. This means that it is only a matter of time until England gains superiority in the air. Then the British Isles become impregnable. Hitler is then stopped in the West. He will have gone as far as he can go. He will no longer be sinking shipping faster than Britain and the United States can build it. He will never be able to catch up in ocean strength. Once he is passed in air strength, he will never be able to catch up. f Some of our high officials believe Hitler already foresaw this long before the actual occupation of Ice-

in Ellsworth, Me.; only to find that the tide was so

low I could not get across the ferry in time. So a car £ went for her from Lubec and brought § Mr. . and Mrs. James Wechsler also. Mr.. Wechsler is lecturing on labor in defense and the young people are finding him very interesting. Incidentally, several photogra- . phers have appeared on the scene, . On Saturday, they tried to catch Justice Frankfurter and Dr. Alfred Cohn as they came across on the ferry. They were going to have one photograph at least, taken 7 with me on the beach.

The figures get almost beyond comprehension. The students: take more than 200,000 pictures a month! They use two and. a quarter miles of aerial ‘film a month.” They shoot up 10% miles of ‘mdvie film a month. ‘They have, 58 aerial and 205 ground cameras. ; Nh ‘They photograph #verything from broken cam wheels to beautiful Colorado sunsets. On week-ends the Army gives any soldier who requests it a camera, and he takes it on leave with him. : When the soldiers come’ back from week-ending, the pictorial subjects they turn in run in this order

of popularity—the State Capitol dome, the bears in|

the park, the soldier's best girl. I should think the girls of Denver would be ashamed to let: bears get ahead of ‘them. : About the oddest thing at the Photo School, I think, is a new substance called -Aerosol which they put in: the water before washing the films.

Dunkirk Echo

"This Aerosol makes water both thinner and wetter! Its purpose is to make the water so thin it will all run off the film, instead of collecting in drops and drying that way and leaving a water-spot on the picture.’ They say out here, and I believe them, that if you put this stuff in a tub of water, and then throw a duck in it, the duck will sink to the bottom and drown. ; gr In the Armament School, the boys learn all there is to know about the machine guns, aerial cannon and bombs that are used on American planes. It ‘may not have occurred to you that every plane requires a whole crew to keep its guns in working order and—in wartime—to keep them loaded. An-officer was telling me that recently in Canada he talked with an R.A.F. pilot who had flown throughout the evacuation of Dunkirk. The English fighter pilots would fight over France until their gas and ammunition was about gone, then beat it back across the Channel to load up again. This R.A. F. pilot said that every plane had a crew of 10 on the ground, four of whom were armorers. They would be running along the wingtips as the plane slowed down, and before it ever stopped would be ramming in new loads of machine-gun bullets. He said that during those awful days at Dunkirk the fighter planes were on the ground less than 10 minutes between each trip. ‘ Loading the planes and fixing the guns for just such a crisis as that is what the “armorers”. learn at Lowry Field. They also learn about our famous American bomb-sight. They learn it in a locked building behind a high wire fence. I didn’t get in there. The officer in charge said they wouldn’t even let him in if he should forget his pass.

said it didn’t belong to them and returned it to Postal, where it remains a headache. . . . No, that wasn’t a mannequin in Strauss’ the other afternoon. It was just A. B. Good, the schools’ business manager, being fitted for a slack suit. Light tan, it was, too.

A Real Fish Story—

CHRIS H. SCHWOMEYER, a florist at 1844 Shelby st., who would rather fish than sell flowers anyway, made a really rare catch Saturday morning. He and a friend, Elmer Sponsel, were fishing at Walnut Grove, which is near London, Ind. on Sugar Creek. Mr. Schwomeyer cast and reeled in not one, but two bass. One was all of four pounds, the other a two-pounder. Mr. Schwomeyer says it was comfort-

ing ‘to have Mr. Sponsel right there to see it.

No, Mr. S. isn’t going to mount his dual catch. His son caught a 15-pound pike in Wisconsin a year ago with same plug and one mounted fish is enough, says Mr. S.

Frank Cantwell has been trying to think of a proper souvenir for the upcoming outing of the Producers’ Courncil®Club. Finally, he snapped his fingers. Why not pocket combs, with the guests’ names stamped on them. He reached for the phone and called Carl Weiland, chairman of the entertainment committee. “What do you think?” asked Frank brightly. “Who wants a comb?” growled Mr. Weiland and Mr. Cantwell recalled with a groan that Mr, W. is what you would call quite bald.

land. They believe that once he sized up the prospective American aviation and shipbuilding programs and saw the drift of affairs over here, he decided to shift to a continental objective. That, they believe, led him to attack Russia. - With control of the continents of Europe and Asiatic Russia, he will be entrenched as to supplies. There is still the opportunity to extend his conquest across the Mediterranean to Africa. This would enable*Hitler to live. But it would not give him the freedom out in the seas for world trade activities. And it is doubtful if he could hold Japan in that case. Japan is a maritime nation. As such she must play ball with the dominant maritime powers. She is too much exposed to superior sea strength. She is too dependent upon ocean commerce, Japan cannot afford to be caught on’ the opposite side of controlling sea power. : The Japanese Dilemma This prospect, one may well suppose, accounts for the painful situation in Tokyo and the strong and rising current of question about the government's attitude. The Japanese are suddenly waking up to the possibility that they have been betting on a horse that is falling behind. : Whether there will ever be a continenta] offensive against Hitler is a question so dependent upon future events as to be beyond intelligent speculation. But it is now well within the possibilities, indeed, it may alr be a certainty, that Hitler's hope of achieving sea control kas been defeated.

One small expedition to Iceland, the establishment of sea and air operating bases, may, like a small

“strategic move in a chess game, have rearranged the

balance of forces so as to bring irresistible pressure at the decisive point. If that proves to be the case, as seems likely, then this will go down in the books as one of those great strokes of history in which arms gained threefold strength from the brains behind them.

STATE'S CASH

0 $9.474150

Indiana’s Treasury In Last Year.

The State of Indiana started its new fiscal year July 1 with a cash balance of $9,474,150, Ross Teckemeyer, deputy state auditor, re-

ported today. This is an increase of approximately $3,000,000 over the cash balance on hand a year ago, and is due to increased gross income tax and other revenues, Mr. Teckemeyer explained. » While the immediate financial outlook of the state is good, prosts for the future are not so rosy, . Teckemeyer said.

Revenue Will Drop During the coming fiscal year the Legislature has made appropriations of $39,572,914. The receipts expected from taxes during this period are $35,750,000. This will leave the state

with approximately $4,000,000 less on hand next July 1 than it had on this. year. When the new gross income tax law cutting the tax on retailers from 1 to 3% of 1 per cent goes info effect next January, state revenues will take a further drop. The effect of the new gross income tax law, however, will not be felt until the 1943 fiscal year, since the retailers will be paying ‘1 per cent on their 1941 incomes yet next spring.

Turn Back $2,790,773

A total of $2,790,773 1 was turned back to the general fund this year from unexpended appropriations. This is around $700,000 more than is usually turned back, Mr. Teckemeyer said. The biggest single amount of money that reverted to the general fund was $1,895,285 from the Public Welfare Department.

LOUISIANA BLACKOUT LAID TO SABOTAGE

BATON ROUGE, La., July 14 (U. P.).—Police guarded transformer stations of the Gulf States Utilities Co. today to prevent a recurrence

of a power stoppage blamed on sabotage which blacked out parts of the state capital and 10 other communities Saturday night. The company offered $1000 reward for evidence against persons who removed a fuse from a transformer at aearby Prairieville, permitting oil to drain from the apparatus and causing it to explode. Barbed wire was found across power lines at two places. The transformer explosion and the short circuits on the lines caused power failures ranging from 20 minutes in Baton Rouge to two hours in nearby communities, Defense industries here were not affected. The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (A. F. of L.) struck against the company four days ago, seeking union recognition. O. A. Walker, union representative, said all union members had remained in the city under police supervision and could not have been responsible for the blackout.

OLIVER THOMAS DIES AFTER HEART ATTACK

Oliver G. Thomas, retired Fair-banks-Morse Co. paymaster, died Saturday at his home, 671 East Drive, Woodruff Place. Mr. Thomas, who was 56, suffered a heart attack Thursday. Mr. Thomas had lived in Indianapolis more than 50 years. He was graduated from Manual Training High School and had attended Purdue University. He was a member of the American Legion and the Second Presbyterian Church. He is survived by a daughter, Miss Nelda Thomas, Indianapolis; -a brother, Ross G. Thomas, Binghamton, N. Y.; two nephews, Gordon Thomas, Cincinnati, O., and A. David Thomas, Indianapolis, and a niece, Miss Patricia Thomas, Binghamton.

Urges Reversal

1Of Song Title

“BLESS GOD, AMERICA” ought to be the title and theme -of a now popular song instead of “God Bless America,” says Dr. T. J. Parsons of Indianapolis in the editorial, “Getting the Cart Before the Horse,” in the Baptist Observer. Americans have turned the whole matter upside down, Dr. Parsons thinks, when they forget that God has already blessed America. He points his countrymen to the Psalms of David and quotes the passage: “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” Americans, he says, might adapt the words of the psalmist saying: “Bless the Lord, my America, and forget mot .all His benefits

PENALTIES FOR EXCESS WHEAT

Times Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, July 14. — Two bills designed to solve the problem

duced in the House today by Rep. Raymond S. Springer (R. Ind). One reduces the penalty on overquota wheat from 48 cents to 15 cents which was the figure when much of the present crop was plant-

led. The other permits feeding of

over-quota wheat on farms without any penalty payment, A partial solution to the wheat farmers’ plight which has raised such a storm of protest also was offered today by the Department of Agriculture.

Extend Maturities

The Department announced that “loans on wheat defined as excess wheat under marketing quota provisions will be extended to April 30, 1943.” The present maturity date on all 1941 wheat loans is April 30, 1942. The new regulation enables growers to do any of three things, They are: : 1. Pay the 48-cent penalty on the excess. 2. Store’ the excess wheat under government loan at 60 per cent of the rate allowed co-operating farmers, or store it under bond, in hopes that he may sell it before April 30, 1943, without penalty. 3. Give the grain to the Government for relief distribution. Officials said that farmers who store their wheat under loan or bond may be able to withdraw it and sell it at the regular market price, without penalty, in the event marketing quotas are lifted or they underplant their 1942 acreage allotment by an equal amount. Rep. Springer whote Secretary of

plaining what he considers the necessity for his two bills and urging support for them. Meanwhile many letters supporting the program and against the protestants are being received by both Indiana Senators and Congressmen from farmer constituents.

COLUMBUS PLANT AFFECTED BY STRIKE

By UNITED PRESS A strike at the Sealed Power Corp. plant at Muskegon, Mich., threatened widespread dislocations in defense production today. War Department officials revealed that the walkout of United Automobile Workers (A. FP. of L.) July 8 already had hampered ' production at the Cummins Diesel Engine Co., Columbus, Ind. manufacturer of ordnance equipment, and the Wil-lys-Overland Co., - Toledo, O., producer of Army scout cars. Delay in settlement, it was said, also may result in curtailment of

output at tHe Olds Motor Works, Lansing, Mich., gun manufacturer; Allis-Chalmers Co., Milwaukee, which is making turbines and other equipment, and the Buda Co., Harvey, Ill, manufacturer of tank engines. The corporation is basically a piston ring manufacturer. ¢ The Mediation Board resumed efforts today to settle the dispute between the A. F. of L. Chemical Workers and the Western Cartridge Co., Alton, Ill. Workers at Chrysler and Briggs Body Co. plants returned to production lines today after a work stoppage caused by a strike at the National Automotive Fibers Co. No defense production was affected. An official survey of the labor disputes in defense industries during the first six months of the year disclosed that 2,485,150 man-days of work were lost because of 187 strikes. WR Observers said the strike trend had been downward since the Army commandeered * the strikebound North American Aviation Co. plant at Inglewood, Cal, June 9 to re-

store production.
