LAW TO LICENSE BOATS ADOPTED
City Permit Now Required For Motor Craft on White River.
An ordinance regulating and li- |
censing all motor boats which use White River between the Emrichsville Dam and 38th St. was passed by City Council last night. The measure which was approved without formal public hearing repealed an old Park Board order prohibiting boats in that section .of the river over which the Park Board claims jurisdiction. The Park Board order never was enforced and some Councilmen learned of its existence only last night when the new regulation came up for discussion. Paul E. Rathert, Park Board member, explained that with the widening of the river by the Flood Control Board, the Park Board believed it expedient to permit motor boats on the river under City supervision.
Canoes Rowboats Exempt
Questioned by Councilman Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, "Mr. Rathert said no attempt to’ enforce the new ordinance would be made by Park Police. It was up to the public to enforce the regulations, he said, and complaints against violators could be checked through the licensing system. Under the new ordinance, owners of motor boats under 10 horsepower may use the river between the dam and 38th: St. by registering the boats with the Park Department and securing a license number for $1 registration fee. ‘Canoes and rowboats are exempt from the ordinance unless outboard motors are attached : and motorboats of more than 10 horsepower are not permitted in the stream. The boat's registration number must be painted on the side for identification in figures four inches high and two inches wide. The numerals must be black on a white background and legible for 50 yards. Other Provisions
1. The motor must have a muffler and the muffler must be closed. 2. Each boat must carry one life preserver for each occupant. 3. No towing, except in emergencies, is permitted. This rules out aquaplaning. 4, Boats operating a half-hour after sunset and a half-hour before ' sunrise must carry a red light and a green light forward and a white light aft. : 5. Boats cannot be operated on the stream between 10 p. m. and 5 a. m." Central Standard Time. 6. Boats must reduce speed to three miles an hour when entering safety areas which are to be designated by the 'Park Department at swimming places. 7. The Park Department will establish landing areas on the banks which must be used for any landing purposes. When not in use, boats must be moored at permanent piers to be provided by the City. 8. Motorboat operators must pass right of any boat coming in the opposite direction and left of any boat going in the same direction, as in automobile traffic.
Two Members Opposed
"9. From time to time, the Park Board may issue supplementary regulations on boating. 10. The Park Board has the power. to revoke licenses. Penalty for violating the ordinance is $5 to $100. Passage of the ordinance was opposed by Councilmen Campbell and Walter E. Hemphill, who asked that ~gction be postponed pending further study of the measure. : Three citizens who appeared to debate the ordinance said they favored it. They were John Coleman, manager of the Riverside Amusement Park; H. L. Allen of 1026 Windsor St., and Carl Rudicle of 4731 W. Washington St.

Bomb All the Way From Denmark to France; Mannheim Target.
LONDON, July 22 (U. P.).—British bombing planes in one of their most extensive raids, bombed targets all the way from Denmark to northern France during the night, the Air Ministry said today. Frankfurt-am-Main and Mannheim, two of Germany's key indus-
‘trial cities, were raided heavily by Bomber Command planes which blasted areas throughout Western Germany. Industrial targets and communications in both areas were
attacked by big fleets of planes.
The British raids were officially described as large scale. In view.of the constantly developing British aerial offensive, this was taken to mean that hundreds of planes took part. Sa Coastal Command aircraft bonibed a German military camp and other objectives on the west coast of Denmark, and Bomber Command planes raided docks at Ostend, Belgium, and = Cherbourg, France, while Fighter Command planes on night offensive patrol atacked airdromes in northern France. , It was said that one bombing plane and three fighter planes were missing from the night’s operations. The Air and Home Security Ministries said.in a joint communique that a few German planes bombed points in Eastern England, chiefly along the coast, during the night, demolishing homes and causing a few casualties.
RULING DUE IN SUIT AGAINST MAZDAINAN

The girl is Irma Weber, now 17, and a high school senior. Her suit accuses Henry Sorge, 32, printer and cult follower, of violating her at a “Gahanbar,” or religious conference, in 1934, to teach her the “mysteries of life.” . A jury was empaneled yesterday to hear the suit. Hudson Hibbard, attorney for the “Reorganized Mazdaznan Temple Association, Association of God,” asked that his client be eliminated as a defendant. He contended the cult was not responsible .for what Sorge might -have done. Miss Weber's suit charged that the Mazdaznan Temple organization ‘was formed in 1917 for the purpose of “protecting, upholding and advancing the Mazdaznan message as the pre-Zarathustrian of Mazdaznan law and order,” as expounded by Ha'Nish.

GERMAN ENVOY LEAVES BOLIVIA
La Paz Minister Is Expelled At Berlin; Tin King’s Villa Is Confiscated.
By LUIS ZAVALA United Press Staff Correspondent LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 22 (U.P) .— German Minister Ernest Wendler, accused. of directing a “Nazi putsch” and declared persona non grata by the Government, leaves the country today by way of Antofagasta, Chile, en route to Germany. In reprisal for Wendler’s expulsion, the German Government has given Alfredo Flores, Bolivian charge d’affaires at Berlin, 72 hours in which to leave Germany, it was announced officially. Germany was reported to have confiscated the villa of Simon Patina, Bolivian tin king, at Biarritz, France. :
‘Back to Normal’
Wendler protested to the Foreign Department against his expulsion, charging a violation of international law. Foreign Minister Alberto Ostria Gutierrez replied: “This decision rests with the Belivian Government.” Being persona non grata here, he is persona non grata in all American republics. Defense Minister Miguel Candia, returning from an inspection of Cochabamba, Bolivia's second most important military center, said the nation had returned to normal. A state of siege had been declared Saturday night, when the subversive movement was disclosed.
Ex-Diplomat Arrested
“Evidently La Paz and Cochabamba were the principal focuses of the Nazi putsch,” he said, “since agents bore in mind that both cities contain large military garrisons,” Political meetings were still prohibited and special passports, issued by police chiefs, were necessary for travel between cities. “The fact that some elements of the Army are involved does not reflect on the Army’s prestige at all because a great majority of the Army presently is on the Government’s side,” Canadia said. Eight officers had been arrested at the Cochabama War School. Lieut.-Col. - Francisco Carega, chief of the Institute of Military Geography, was charged with disseminating Nazi propaganda. Several of the officers were released. Antonio Campero Arce, one-time secretary to former President German Busch and Former Bolivian minister .to Rome, was among private citizens arrested. Police said he frequently had obtained propaganda instructions from the German legation. Several more German residents were seized in raids on known centers of German propaganda.
Denies Charges
nor members of his staff had interfered in Bolivian internal affairs, said he would quit the country at 2:30 p. m. today. In his protest to Foreign Minister Ostria, he asked that the Bolivian Government show him the documents which newspapers said linked him with the attempted “putsch,” since “a fundamental right of anyone accused is to know whereof he
not of the evidence.” Ostria replied that Bolivia acted in accordance with the Havana Convention of 1938 which permits
call without giving reasons.

JAPAN'S TROOPS
MOVE TO NORTH
Shanghai, However, Thinks Indo-China Is First to Be Attacked.
Japanese military authorities have virtually halted all non-military traffic in Northern China, Manchukuo and Japan, reliable informants asserted today, because of widescale mobilization movements as part of which many troops are being sent northward toward the Siberian frontier. Foreigners are unable to .obtain passport visas to Manchukuo due to military movements by railroad. Japanese steamships heading northward from the Shanghai area are refusing passengers. . Informants said foreigners in Peiping are unable fo obtain railroad passage anywhere in Northern China and that there are constant heavy troop movements through Peiping, Tientsin and Kalgan, Inner Mongolia. Artillery Sent North Foreign military observers report that the Japanese are heavily strengthening their Kwantung Army —the Army in Manchukuo—with artillery and that infantry and other troops are moving northward. Maj. Kunio Akilama, Japanese spokesman, said that all Japanese reserves are being called up in the Shanghai area in order to strengthen Japan's forces in China—which he estimated now number 1,500,000 effectives—“for all eventualities.” These informants continue to express belief that for the present the troop movements northward are precautionary and that no Japanese attack on Russia is likely unless the Germans win a decisive victory. Belief here is that Japan will strike toward French IndoChina first, and will strike soon.
LONDON, July 22 (U. P.).—Well informed diplomatic quarters reported receipt of information today that Japan was expected to invade southern Indo-China Thursday or Friday. : Informants expressed belief that the Vichy Government would not
SHANGHAI, July 22 (U. P).—}
TOKYO, July 22 (U. P.).—Japan has assured Germany and Italy that its alliance with them remains the basis of its foreign policy and that it will continue to uphold the Axis in spirit and aim, it was disclosed today. Admiral Teijiro Toyoda, Foreign Minister, gave the assurance Saturday, only one day after the new Cabinet took office, to Gen. Eugen Ott and Maro Indelli, the German and Italian Ambassadors, , Koh Ishii, chief Government spokesman, said. Ishii added that Toyoda had not yet even seen Constantin Smetanin, Ambassador of the Soviet Union with which Japan has a friendship and neutrality pact only a few months old. Tokyo newspapers predicted in a new editorial campaign late today that the Government would adopt “prompt and active measures” to deal with Japan's three most pressing foreign problems—“Anglo-Amer-ican encirclement of southern Asia,” settlement of the war with China and “preparations for any eventualities resulting from a possible Russian collapse.” Tke Manchuria Daily News, published in Mukden, said that beginning tomorrow Fengtien Province of Manchukuo will have an air raid drill extending over 48 hours. The newspapers prominently displayed allegations that China had concluded a secret agreement with Great Britain and Free France under which China would attack French Indo-China. It was alleged that at the same time Great Britain would attack Indo-China from the South. The allegations were published in the form of an official Domei News Agency dispatch from Hong Kong. Domei said Chinese troops in the southern provinces of Kwangsi and Yunnan already were preparing to invade Indo-China from the north and Britain was reported to have started preparations to transport “native” troops to southern Indo-China. (In Shanghai, Domei disseminated its dispatch under a Tokyo date

sources.” The Shanghai dispatch said portentously that it was “unknown” whether the Indo-China government was taking part in the British-Chinese program). = .| Spokesman Ishii, discussing the Domei report, said no official report had been received of a British-Chi-nese agreement to attack IndoChina. Asked whether Japan had any agreement with Indo-China under which it would aid Indo-China in event of invasion by a foreign power, Ishii replied: “That depends on future developments.” i A Domei dispatch from Hanoi, Indo-China, said that Great Britain had been trying to prevent IndoChina and Thailand (Siam) from exporting their key materials to Japan and that Britain had made certain economic demands on Thailand. The United States was reported to be co-operating with Britain, the dispatch added, and to have made economic demands of its own on Thailand.
BLACKOUT OF NEWS FAGED IN ATLANTA
ATLANTA, Ga., July 22 (U. P) — The Constitution and the Journal, Atlanta’s two daily newspapers, were threatened with a blackout of state government news today unless they “correct | their Attitude” toward Governor’ Eugene ‘Talmadge. The threat to withhold news from the papers was made by Governor Talmadge at a press conference. Neither newspaper commented at once. Governor Talmadge was complaining against the local reporting of his ousting of two state educational officials on the allegation that they sought to establish racial equality in the State schools. “The Atlanta papers, misrepresented the facts because they thought they would hurt Talmadge doing so,” he said. “They'd better get right. The Atlanta dailies are not going to put Negroes with white children in schools. If they don’t correct their attitude, there's going to be another daily paper in
