CONGRESS
TALKS
BUT ACTS LITTLE
: House Debate Suggests Decentralization and Cutting Non-Defense Items, but Indiana Members Fail
To Sponsor
Legislation.
By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staft Writer
WASHINGTON; July 19.—How Congress continues to treat decentralization and curtailment of non-defense expenditures after the manner of Mark Twain's comment on the weather was illustrated here this week by the Deans of ~ the Hoosier delegation i in the House. The great American humorist said that he noticed that
while everyone talked about the weather—nothing was ‘ever done about it. “Now, nobody talks economy more than Representative Louis Ludlow,
dean of the Indiana Democrats in
“the House. But as a member oi the . House Appropriations Committee he. has done very little about it. While Rep. Charles A. Halleck, ‘dean of the Hoosier Republicans,
- hasnt said so much about decen-
“tralization, he did make a speech

‘careful to comment that he was ~. against moving the Interstate Commerce Commission out of Washing- - ton. He would rather move some of the newer New Deal agencies, he intimated.
Rep. Halleck is a member of he ‘House Interstate Commerce Committee, which has much direct dealing with the IC.C. Other Conn deal more with other - agencies. So when all are added up - it is difficult to move any of them. In supporting the Sabath resolution for a study committee on de- - centralization, Rep. Halleck said: * “1 would like to suggest to all of 1 that I am not in favor of movng the capital to Indiana. In spite of that fact, I am supporting this resolution. I think it should be
adopted. oe ““If there is to be any decen-
« tralization I think the Congress
‘would want to see to it that the great established agencies. of ‘the Government, like the Interstate Commerce Commission, for

NAZI PRISONER MORALE FALLS
Captured Germans Are Less Sure of Victory Now, British Say.
By JOHN T. WHITAKER Copyright. 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. LONDON, July 19.—The morale of German prisoners -has been found to be lower in recent weeks, it was learned today from an informed Britop who added, significantly, that the quality of Nazi prisoners taken recently by the British is also lower. Nazi merchant seamen and soldiers who have fallen into British hands lately, like the recently captured Luftwaffe pilots, this informant said, are less impressive generally than were Hitler's first elite: Now many of the prisoners feel that invasion of Britain is becoming impossible and they prove less truculently sure of their own propaganda. Three of Germany’s best submarine commanders and their crews have been taken in the past two months. Though they rank high among the elite Nazis, their morale is : i ad low, this source said. -

The Indiana University Medical Center cancer clinic - will seek equipment for a more extended ‘use of radium, Dr. Frank Forry, director, reported today -to the research committee. ’ Although the clinic is only three years old, Dr. Forry reported that some encouraging results have been obtained through radium, X-ray and surgery, and that 33.2 per cent more new patients were treated last year than the year before. Dr. Forry said that although none of the cases handled has gone through the accepted five-year “conclusive” period, some of the cases treated now show no symptoms. About one-half of the patients are incurable, but in many of these cases the disease has been arrested, Dr. Forry said.

ACCORDING TO THE Germans, \the ‘Russians fought as desperately for time as though they were already warring. While trying
to entangle Germany inextricably
in the Balkan junket by frowning
upon Bulgaria’s complaisance and applauding Jugoslav resistance, the Soviets “appeased” desperalely in the hope that the campaign between the ‘Adriatic and the Aegean would last long enough so that Hitler's plan would conflict with the Russian autumn rains. -German import officials say they never had had such prompt
and steady fulfillment of Soviet
promises as during the last two
months, when Hitler was massing his forces on the Red frontier. Orders long delayed suddenly appeared and shipments were in impeccable condition. Especially it was noteworthy that 20 trainloads of

The Germans do not plan to try to administer all of Russia and Siberia. The big aim of this year’s campaign is simply to create a Leningrad-Moscow-Batum defense line, something like the division
between Occupied and Unoccupied France.
Hitler is said to believe
that this line will keep the Russians away from oil and wheat and the most vital manufacturing centers, as well as cutting off British
aid by way of Iraq.
It is not planned to “conquer Communism and kill Stalinism” too hastily. The existence of a rump Soviet Government beyond the
Urals furnishes a sibboleth for continuous anti-bolshevism,
the only
Hitler ideal which finds even a flutter of popular suppor in America
and other countries.
Flag- Waving Mar March Opens Aluminum Campaign in Indianapolis.
The aluminum-for-defense rive will open in Marion County Monday withh what is expected to be the biggest parade: of children in the city’s history. _ Between 15,000 . and 20,000 girls and boys, waving flags in one hand and a piece of aluminum-ware in the other, beginning at 7 p: m., are scheduled to march from S. Meridian St. to the World War Memorial Plaza and - deposit their
aluminum in a big heap on the Plaza grounds. The youngsters will

* The Government will undertake to train them for productive work and eventually many of them will fit into the national defense industrial scheme. Others, of course, will eventually go into the army when their numbers are called, where they will apply their knowledge in their army training. Since the CCC began, around 55,000 Indiana youths have received training in conservation camps.
Russia Saving Britain From Fall Invasion, Say Experts

Moreover, the Germans are not expected to finish their Russian campaign that quickly. “-Now that the Second large Russian retreat is threatened, it is reemphasized . that the test of Nazi victory is not territorial gains but tatal destruction of the. Soivet air and mechanized forces. As long as Russia retains planes and tanks, her sacrifice of ground tends to glut and mire the invader while relatively strengthening the defender. This = military theory, - whether right or wrong, is at least not an afterthought propaganda alibi for Russian retreats. It was expounded by the same experts before and at the start. of this conflict. Air Force Still Fights Indeed, the tirnes Washington and London have worried most during this month of fighting were when Russian troops failed fo retreat. The great fear has been that the Nazis would cut them off before they had time to retreat as apparently happened to severil hundred thousands west of Minsk in the early days. The two initial fears were that the Nazis’ surprise attack would destroy most of the Soviet Air Force on the ground, as in the Polish and other campaigns, and that quick Panzer’ thrusts would disorganize and prevent retreat of the main armies. ‘But after four weeks

bulk of the Red Army is reported intact and fighting hard. Not only have the Russians been successful in escaping encirclement so far by their strategic retreats, but in the process they have pounded the Nazis much harder than expected. Consequent Nazi losses at least have reduced the punch of any invasion attempt against England this year. Better Than Hoped Nevertheless, too-stubborn resistance eould easily result in Nazi encirclement of Russian mechanized troops fighting well but not wisely. To date they have fought both well and wisely. By keeping the Nazis west of the Stalin Line during the first critical four weeks, the Red resistance has
British: and American strategists hardly dared hope for. These include, besides drawing pressure away from Britain: 1. Time to complete Russian mobilization of millions of reservists. 2. Time to begin the wheat harvest, so essential for winter resistance. 3. Time to perfect guerrilla warfare behind the retreat. 4. Time to organize the “scorched earth” destruction of sacrificed territory; of all the ‘nations invaded by Hitler, Russia is the first to succeed in this. Policy is Traditional Of course this twin tactic of retreat and scorched earth is the traditional Russian method of meeting the invader. It is easier in lands like Russia and China than ip Western Europe, because of the vast distances and the relatively primitive conditions and reactions of the peasantry. °° Hitler had to conquer the Ukraine

Parents of children, campaign
workers pointed out, will be able to
pick up the children on the North St. side of the Plaza after the parade. In addition to the ‘children, more than 1000 adults are scheduled to march, including members of the bands and bugle corps and uniformed Legionnaires. Campaign officials hope to make the parade the largest of any in the country. Parade Marshall is Homer E. Capehart. “We want parents to know that their children will be taken care of and that a large force of adults will be on hand to care for the children until the last child has gone home,” Mr. Capehart said. Meanwhile, the Aluminum Collection Committee announced that although the house-to-house canvass for aluminum will. not begin on a big scale until Tuesday morning, that close to 5000 pounds of scrap and used aluminum already has been collected by volunteer workers. Much of this has been received at aluminim matinees at movie houses. No special goal for the week-long drive has been set, but officials hope to collect close to 100,000 pounds of the much-needed scrap metal. It
will bring from five to 16 cents a
pound, depending on the grade. Evans Woollen Jr., was named treasurer for the Marion County campaign and will supervise, along with Federal authorities, the sale of the scrap metal to smelters. In this manner, new or virgin aluminum will be freed to make warplanes and other armaments of defense.. The funds will go to the Office of Civilian Defense, sponsor of the national drive, and then to the Federal Government.

ALTHOUGH WHAT HITLER wants most is located in Southern . Russia, he is obligated to conquer the north first as the only way of preserving Ukraine wheat and Baku oil from Soviet demolition squads. When the time comes for a deadly stroke at the switchboard of the
Communist bureaucracy, it will be
delivered against Moscow in the
hope that the effect will be the same as Belgrade’s total disorganization
due to vulnerable over-centralization. But the delay in the southern advance is causing misunderstanding
in the ill-behaved Balkan nursery of the New Order.
The Hun-
garians and Rumadnians are squabbling over the former’s criticism of the latter’s failure to make impressive gains across Bessarabia, even
with German help.
It will undoubtedly be necessary for Hitler
to let the Hungarians in on the secret that the Rumanian-German troops are advancing slowly because flaming wheat and oil cannot be consumed twice and it is absolutely necessary that the Reich save something useful from the Ukrainian shambles or the new effort will end as barren as the Balkan campaign.
