COMMONS TOLD RUSSIA IS ALLY
Churchill Admits Close Tie, Denies League With Communism.
LONDON, July 15 (U. P.) —Prime Minister Winston Churchill told Commons today that Great Britain and Soviet Russia now are allies.
Mr. Churchill said that “of course” the Anglo-Russian agreement ‘is an alliance and the Russian people are now our allies.” Churchill = emphasized, however, that Britain has not leagued herself with the Communists nor to fight any battles for communism. He quoted as the official British view the statement of Gen. Jan Christian Smuts, South African Premier: “Let no one say we are now in league with the Communists and fighting the battle of communism.” Churchill indicated that an agreement is imminent between Russia and the refugee Polish Government, covering the controversy arising from Russia’s move into Poland in September, 1939.

Col. E. L. Gardner Named Employment Division Director.
Col. Everett L. Gardner, chairman of the Employment Security Division’s Review Board since 1938, today was named director of the division by Governor Schricker. He succeeds Wilfred Jessup of Centerville, who resigned because of ill health. The appointment was made upon the recommendation of the Employment Security Board. Mr. Jessup submitted his resignation last April, but he agreed, at the request of the Board, to continue in office until his successor could be named. He intends later to resume the practice of law in Richmond. “It is my aim,” Col. Gardner said today after taking his oath from Supreme Court Justice Nathan Swaim, “to maintain an impartial attitude between employer and employee groups and to administer the Employment Security Act in a manner satisfactory to all their inter-
| ests.”
Born in Monticello
Col. Gardner, a Democrat, was active in Government affairs until 1928 when he took a job as a special
representative for the White and
Indiana Motor companies in Europe. He spent 10 years in Europe.on this job, five of them in Russia. A native of Monticello, he received his education in the Monticello public schools, Voories Business College and Indiana University where he was a member of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity. He served as City Treasurer, City Park Commissioner and member of the Board of Education at Monticello. In 1925 he was appointed a member of the Conservation Commission and was later named chairman of the Dunes Park Purchasing Board. Col. Gardner served eight years in the Indiana National Guard and later overseas under Maj. Gen, Homer Bundy.

IDRAFT NUMBERS
DUE IN 10 DAYS
Lottery on Thursday to Establish Position on Order List.
(Continued from Page One) will be drawn in the Washington
| lottery.
The first serial number drawn from the bowl, say for example it is 20, will mean that the holder of serial number 20 in each draft board will get sequence number one. The holder of the next serial number drawn will get sequence number: two and so on. When serial numbers are drawn higher than those held by any registrants in the local board, the local board will just skip them. ° Local draft boards will give their new registrants sequence numbers, as determined by the national lottery. Then they will start integrating the new registrants with the old ones in this manner: Say, for example, the board has 1000 registrants still on the list below the order number of the last man who was inducted prior to June 30, 1941, and 100 new registrants. Then, each one of the new draft registrants would be placed in the order number list after each group of 10 old registrants.
10th in Line for Call
The registrant holding sequence number one would thus be placed in the order number list at 1010-S, and he would be the 10th person in line for consideration for induction into the Army. The registrant holding sequence number two would be placed in the order number list at 1020-S, and he would be the 20th person in line for consideration, and SO on. Some boards, Col. Hitchcock said, are so nearly through the old order lists that the new registrants will be placed in the order number iist following each -old registrant. Four hundred and six selectees were to report to Ft. Harrison yesterday and today as a part of the State’s 12th selective service call which began on July 11 and will close on July 18. No other inductions are to be made until July 30.
ESCAPES INJURY AS TRAIN WRECKS CAR
Henry Behrman, 62, of Lawrence, Ind., escaped injury today when he drove his car into the path of an east-bound Big Four Railroad train at the Sunnyside Road crossing east of the city. Although the car was badly damaged, Mr. Behrman was not injured and was expected to be released from Methodist Hospital after an examination. The train, No. 46, was in charge of engineer Joseph Thomas, Lakewood, 0., and George Stoner, brakeman, also from Lakewood. The train was
delayed about 20 minutes.

Highlights in U. S. Defense; Army Now Has 1,500,000
WASHINGTON, July 15 (U. P.).—Highlights in defense progress, as outlined today by Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson:
Strength of the Army
A total officer and enlisted strength of approximately 1,500,000 officers and men, including nine triangular divisions of which one is motorized completely, 18 square divisions, two cavalry divisions, four armored divisions, and miscellaneous troops. including heavy garrisons in overseas possessions and newly acquired Atlantic bases. The Air Corps has a strength of 167,700 men and is increasing its pilot training from 12,000 to 30,000 annually. Every effort is being made to speed formation of new armored divisions. Army personnel has been increased six-fold since July 1, 1940.
Ordnance
Procurement of latest types of weapons is continuing at an “accelerated” pace, with approximately $2,000,000,000 having been spent for equipment, and $600,000,000 for new plants. Machine guns are already being delivered from three of five sources, four of the five shell and bomb loading plants will begin operations within -a month o Six weeks, and work on many other new factories is nearing completion. : 3 ; ; The Springfield, Mass., arsenal is turning out the Garand semiautomatic rifle at a 1000-per-day rate. In general, production of basic weapons and ammunition has increased from “100 to 1000 per cent” during the past year, and the entire ordnance program should get “into high gear” by Feb. 1, 1942, Aviation The aviation industry has orders for 74,000 military aircraft, and it delivered $625,000,000 worth of equipment in 1940, a 250 per cent boost over 1939; 22 manufacturers already have increased 1941 deliveries 300 per cent over those of 1940. Mr. Patterson said that we are now “getting dividends” in increased deliveries of new planes equipped with turrets, self-sealing gasoline tanks, armor plate, and other improvements. Deliveries for the three months ended June 30 on military aircraft were seven times those of the first quarter of 1940. :
Construction
The Quartermaster Corps has completed or is completing on schedule a 250-project construction program costing $1,900,000,000. It includes troop housing facilities, general hospitals, ordnance plants, storage depots, and chemical warfare plants. Production of clothing has reached such a peak that all obsolete types, except overcoats, have been replaced by modern attire. Old overcoats will be replaced this fall.
Motorization
There were 29,867 vehicles on hand July 1, 1940. A total of $296,176,000 was appropriated for motorization during the past year; of the 233,084 new vehicles: provided for 209,541 have been ordered and 103,395 delivered. Signal Corps Large numbers of new radio detectors—details of which are closely
guarded—are being purchased, to “spot” airplanes and surface craft. An additional $118,000,000 will be spent this year for this equipment.
Engineers
Of $638,969,811 made available for Air Corps construction work, such as bases and schools, $490,000,000 has been obligated; not including work on overseas bases, 41 per cent of this work has been concluded. : A totdl of $26,377,000 has been spent for improving coast defenses during the past fiscal year, and $44,000,000 is slated for expenditure this year. Ammunition storage, bombproof shelters, fire control structures and other numerous improvements have been carried on in continental
United States, Puerto Rico, Alaska Chemical There are now three gas mask
equipment, and five non-combatant mask assembly plants. are sufficient training and battle gas masks available for the Army.
Patterson Lauds U. S. Arms Effort at Senate Hearing
WASHINGTON, July 15 (U. P)). —Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson said today that the United States has “gone a good distance” toward the goal of an army superior to that of any other nation in organization and equipment. ‘He ‘told the Senate Defense Investigating Committee, however, that the nation’s economic life and civilian supply stores face greater dislocation than has been felt thus far. He was called by the committee to tell of results achieved from expenditure of billions of dollars for defense since fall of France in June, 1940. He said that expansion of the defense effort contemplated for the coming year will mean “fewer civilian automobiles, refrigerators and so on,” and the use of substitutes in many non-defense items. But this, he added, should result in spreading of business among more now-idle firms Some Mistakes Made
“I doubt that more than 15 per cent of America’s productive capacity is devoted to defense work,” he said. “If we expect to equal and surpass other countries, far more of our machines and labor must be placed at the service of the War and Navy Departments. “I do not claim that America as yet is adequately armed or prepared,” he said, “or that we have become a thoroughly stocked and sufficiently productive arsenal for ourselves and for other democratic arsenals as well. But we have gone a good distance.” He conceded that the emphasis on speed has caused some ‘errors of judgment,” but he added that “singling out of our mistakes to the exclusion of proportionate consideration of our correct decisions and success” would be “unfair” to the War Department and discouraging to the public. “We have been asking for appropriations in increasing amounts and are placing orders for additional ordnance and aircraft,” he testified. “We must bear in mind that for total warfare of the kind raging in Europe today we can never have enough munitions.”
Defends High Command
He defended the Army’s high command against charges of alleged backwardnes in adopting lessons of modern warfare, and said itis profiting from “what has been developed” in the current war in new weapons, industrial mobilization and tactics. . He estimated that during the past fiscal year, the Army obligated approximately $11,000,000,000 of the $11,400,000,000 voted it by Congress. Some funds from other defense aid appropriations were not obligated because Great Britain and other democracies have not yet reported on needed items under the Lend-Lease program. The pace of the defense program, he continued, will be accelerated during the current fiscal year. since Congress already has voted the

Army $10,400,000,000 in regular outlays, and is considering a supplemental request for another $4,750,000,000. This will permit full equipment for an Army of 1,725,000 men, provide reserve stocks of critical items for a potential 3,000,000-man Army, and allow accumulation of unspecified reserve stocks of ordnance and aircraft for an even larger force “in event of hostilities.” Patterson said that Army preparedness expenditures under the program during the first quarter of the 1941 fiscal year averaged $3,600,000 per working day; jumped to $8,800,000 during the second quarter; to $18,800,000 in the third quarter, and to $20,900,000 during the final quarter, a six-fold increase over figures for the outset of the period.

They are Attorney General George Beamer; State Police Superintendent Don Stiver; Judge Dewey E. Myers of the Marion County Criminal Court; Senator Harry O. Chamberlin (R. Indianapolis), and Rep.

unit to Hawaii because no Regular Army unit was available at the time. “As the anti-aircraft in Hawaii will complete its 12 months of service by the end of August,” he said, “it must be relieved from duty in ‘Hawaii about the middle of August. To effect this relief, a unit must leave the United States about the first of August. “There is no National Guard unit available. Therefore, a Regular Army unit must be sent. That Regular Army unit will include at least 40 per cent of selectees whose term of 12 months of service will require their return to the United States about eight weeks after their arrival in Hawaii.
Iceland: Matters Secret
“I shall not discuss the very obvious effect of such personnel changes on the) defensive efficiency of the Hawaiian garrison, which is charged with the security of the great naval base, Pearl Harbor.” A large part of his discussion of the Iceland occupation was off the
transcript. Publication of Gen. Marshall's secret testimony before the Senate Military Affairs Committee came just 24 hours before his scheduled appearance before an open meeting of that group to urge passage of legislation to authorize retention of selectzes, guardsmen and reservists for the duration. Gen. Marshall, at a White House meeting yesterday, told Congressional leaders that the Army is more interested in keeping selectees in service than National Guardsmen,
Refuses Compromise
It had been suggested that Mr. Roosevelt would accept a compromise to keep Guardsmen and reservists in service indefinitely, while merely offering inducements to selectees to re-enlist upon completion of their year’s training. After Mr. Roosevelt had heard all sides, including assurances by Senate leaders they could obtain majority support for the Administra tion: plan and House warnings that he was risking a major defeat, he decided to make the fight to keep: all hands under arms. The Administration yielded only on the question of sending selectees to serve outside the Western Hemisphere. But Mr. Roosevelt had not indorsed that particular proposal of Gen, Marshall’s anyway.
Joint Resolution Talked
An effort may be made to dispose of the whole question simply by having Congress adopt a joint resolution asserting that the national interest is imperilled and that the men must remain under arms. But there is some opposition to that plan—which is not advanced by Administration leaders— on grounds that it might add to Mr. Roosevelt's already large executive powers. Apprehensive House leaders said they doubted they could obtain more than half a dozen Republican votes to keep selectees in service and they feared they would lose 60 to 90 Defmoerasie votes on such a proposion.
