Two tall and very serious young men came to Indianapolis yesterday to show City officials and industrial safety experts how London is warding off air blitz attacks. They were Daniel D, Ivall, district |

District Officer Ivall said “Ideah.”| But both had the same idea. It was to explain. to American officialdom the fire-fighting method London has developed under more than a year of explosive and incendiary

BRITISH SKATERS TRAIN FOR DEFENSE

LONDON, Aug. 13 (U.P). —The thoroughness of Britain's home de- | fenses was demonstrated in newsreels showing roller skate troops

training for combat in the London streets. A squad of 10, led by Harry Lee, | Britain's champion roller skater and | master of the flying start, was shown in intensive training in a new form of warfare. When the 10 have perfected it, they will serve as

teachers to other home guard skat- |

ing classes. They are professionals |

jor local champions.

In maneuvers, the skaters made rings around foot troops. with revolvers, knives, dusters,” and sub-machine guns, they attained speeds as high as 30 miles an hour. The shoulders, elbows and knees of their uniforms| are reinforced with rubber pads, enabling them to make flying tackles. | The practicability of skate troops! under certain conditions was so evident, and the performance of| Lee's squad was so perfect that] there were no laughs among newsreel audiences even at glimpse of them. Skating recruits are to be chosen | for their knowledge of local streets | and their agility. It is planned to] use them as dispatch carriers as| well as combatants. Lee said the “street boys of yesterday” were the | best material. | “We want those boys who learned |

lines at break-neck speed, avoiding violent collisions; who could dodge policemen and lamp posts, and flash past a green grocer’s, snatching an apple on the way, never losing their balance,” Lee said.
