BUENOS AIRES, Sept.
Cabinet Considers Nazi Envoy. 95 (U. P.).—Authorities sud-
-denly converted an investigation of a subversive movement in the Argentine air force into an investigation of 34 miss-| J ing cases of munitions today, denying that there ever had been a revolutionary movement. Subtle ‘political cross currents were appearing in the
general situation brought about by Army occupation of military air fields and by the resolution passed overwhelmingly by the. Chamber of Deputies censuring German Ambassador Edward von
Thermann. The executive branch of government has done nothing about the Von Thermann case, and, in addition, President Ramon S. Castillo. who is a National Democrat, hinted that the Radical Party had some connection with the alleged subvesive movement. The Radicals hold a majority in the Chamber and they 2 ere the chief sponsors of the antiThermann resolution. -
U. S. Crop Loan Delayed
Last night the Chamber, by a vote of 69 to 65, returned to committee “for study” the crop purchase bill which authorizes the Government to borrow $110,000,000 from the United States with which to stabilize Argentine agriculture. “It is first necessary for the Government to clarify its internal and international policies,” said Deputy Ismael Lopez Merino, a Radical, and chairman of the Budget Committee. But the Cabinet meets today under President Castillo, who announced that it wouldn’t deal with the internal situation but “with the international situation of which the Administration has decided to take exclusive charge in order to avoid misunderstanding and confusion.”
May Discuss Envoy’s Status This was taken éo mean that the Cabinet would discuss the Chamber’s resolution censuring Von Thermann, which has been regarded by many as a mandate to the executive to declare the German Ambassador persona non grata. © The 34 missing cases of munitions were introduced into the situation by Navy Minister Rear Admiral Mario Fincati, who, after conferring with the Secretary of the Ministry of War and the cornmander in chief of the fleet, announced: “The measures of security were taken by the Administration so as to enable an investigation for the locale of 34 cases of munitions belonging to the air force which have disappeared. Other reasons for the measures do not exist.” He said only Lieut. Col. Sustaita, Maj. Menendez, and Lieut. Delucci were being detained, insisting on that word to emphasize that they had not been “arrested.” The first two were held for the investigation “of an administrative aature,” and Delucci was held for making an unauthorized flight, he said. Claims Facts Magnified
He was asked if Argentina would accept aid from the United States under the Havana Convention, in which the American republics pledged to aid one another if they were threatened by a foreign power, ‘from within or without.” “The facts have been magnified so much that such statements have resulted,” he replied. “The situation: of our country is far from being thus.” Minister of War Jose Francisco
that “not a single subversive movement existed.”
INGERSOLL TO SPEAK IN GITY TOMORROW

STUKAS BATTER LENINGRAD LINE
Germans Pound Unceasingly at Former Capital and Vital Crimea.
BERLIN, Sept. 25 (U. P.).—German land and air attacks were reported in war dispatches today to be pounding incessantly and with mounting force into the defenses of Leningrad on the north and the strategic Crimean Peninsula on the south. The three-weeks-old battle for Leningrad moved toward an explosive climax as German reports told of heavy fighting in the suburbs, of the capture of a “largish” town and a big factory and of smashing at-
defenses. Fleets of dive-bombers, heavy artillery and crack units of storm troops combined to “break” Russian resistance in some sectors, the Germans reported, but it was admitted that the Red Army repeatedly coun-ter-attacked and that fighting was intense and without pause.
Suburban Guns Silenced
Nazi military experts said that the German attack had already “smashed the backbone” of Russian artillery resistance on the outskirts of Leningrad and destroyed the effectiveness of big Soviet naval guns on trapped warships near Kronstadt. The main Russian resistance now is coming from countless Russian batteries in Leningrad itself, they said, expressing belief that continuous luftwaffe attacks and artillery fire had made the city “an inferno.” They estimated that the number of persons encircled at Leningrad had been swelled to 4,500,000 On the southern end of the eastern front, the German air and land forces were apparently pressing similar operations against Russian defenses on the four-mile-wide isthmus leading to the Crimean Peninsula and the big Red Fleet base at Sebastopol.
General’s Body Found
The daily High Command communique ‘said merely that destruction of Russian forces trapped east of Kiev continued. In “mopping up” the battlefield, the communique said, Germans found the body of one Col. Gen. Kirponos, ‘commander in chief on the southwest front.” It was added that his staff and that of the 5th and 21st Russian armies had been “destroyed.” In the north, the communique said, German planes had bombed military objectives at Moscow and armaments works at Tula, 110 miles to the south.
THREE PAY $230 FOR DRUNKEN DRIVING
Three motorists received heavy fines today when Municipal Judge John McNelis found them guilty of charges of drunken driving. Roger Clark, R. 13, Box 665, was fined a total $100 and sentenced to 10 days in jail on charges of reckless driving, drunken driving and drunkenness. He was arrested in the 2500 block of E. 10th St. Maurice Parker, 250 N. Rural St., was fined a total of $70 on charges of drunkenness and drunken driving. He was arrested near North and New Jersey Sts. Ed Springer, 3945 Millersville Road, who was arrested on Massachusetts Ave, was fined a total of $60 on a drunken driving charge.

‘EUROPE’S FOOD NAZI PROBLEM’
Hull Turns Down Proposal U. S. Feed Occupied Countries.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (U. P.). —Secretary of State Cordell Hull told Congress today that Germany must feed the people in occupied European countries. His statement was made in a letter to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee which asked him for comment on a Congressional proposal for feeding starving populations. Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.) made the letter public. Mr. Hull said he could not understand why “no effort has-been made to have the German government carry out the duty which it assumed when it undertook to take over by force the countries concerned,” and especially, he added, since Germany never Las put forth any claim to poverty of food.
Using Food as Weapon
His attitude gave additional emphasis to the Administration's policy of using food as & weapon in the war against the Axis. Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard told a conference of farm leaders in New York yesterday that “food is our fifth column.” : Mr. Wickard seeks to accumulate $1,000,000,000 worth of food for Great Britain, he told the farm leaders. “When the conquered peoples who have been refused food by Hitler see what America is supplying the British in the way of food, they may do more than hope for victory of the democracies; theyll work and fight for it.” : Mr. Hull was asked for comment on a resolution sponsored by a large group of Senators requesting the State Department to work out some method of feeding starving populations.

‘Bathroom Tax'
Creates Furor
MUSKOGEE, Okla., Sept. 25 (U. P.)—This city of 33,232 per=sons was in a furor today over a proposal of the City Council to place a tax of 25 cents each month on all toilet seats. City officials estimated the tax would raise approximately $40,000 annually—enough to balance the ~city budget. Ralph: Bentley, secretary of the . Muskogee Hotel Men's Association, warned that the tax would bring Muskogee “$100,000 of bad publigity. ” He said that hotel and aparfment owners were active in pro.testing the plan, but emphasized that private citizens—“folks with only one toilet” — were against the tax, too. Opponents said the tax was “discriminatory.”
HOUSING STUDY GROUP NAMED
Schricker Appoints 9 to Survey Need for Federal Project.
Governor Schricker today named a nine-member ‘fact finding” committee to study housing conditions in” Indianapolis. The committee is to survey the local housing, situation with a view of determining whether the need for housing is such that a request should be made to the Federal Government for establishment of a defense housing project. Appointment - of the committee was made at the request of a citizens’ committee which called upon the Governor recently and presented him with a petition stating that there is a housing shortage. Members of the committee are Bert Dingley, vice president of the Marmon-Herrington Co.; Arnold Atwood, regional director of the United Automobile Workers Association; Roy Creasey of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers; Mrs. Roberta Nicholson, former member of the Indiana House; Lionel Artis, manager of} Lockefield Gardens; Starling W.

CAFE NUISANCE TRIAL OPENED
GOP Committeeman Says He Got Beer in Senate Ave. Place on Sunday.
The first trial of a public liquor nuisance case. in Marion Conty since the repeal of prohibition opened in Criminal Court here toay. Thomas Giroff, owner of a tavern in the 1500 block of N. Senate Ave., is being tried on an indict-
ing a nuisance and selling liquor on Sunday. William Mealure, 426 W. 12th St., a Republican precinct committeeman, testified that he bought a beer on Sunday in Giroff’s tavern. He said that while he was in the place he saw H. Dale Brown, Republican member of the County Liquor Board, and that he heard Mr. Brown tell the bartender that he was violating the law and order him to close the tavern. Denies Meeting Arranged
Defénse counsel attempted to imply that the meeting of the two Republicans at the place was pre-ar-ranged in order to get evidence. Mr. Mealure, however, denied the implication. Eight other witnesses testified that large crowds of intoxicated patrons filled the, streets around the tavern at night, creating a disturbance that could be heard for two or three blocks. One woman who lives near the tavern, testified she saw large numbers of men enter the rear door every Sunday and that they came out carrying packages. She and other witnesses testified that patrons of the tavern threw empty whisky bottles in their yards. New Permit Pending Renewal of Mr. Giroff’'s liquor license is now pending before the State Alcoholic Beverage Board. Under the law, the court could order the place closed and padlocked upon sufficient evidence that it was a public nuisance. More than 30 other witnesses were to be called this afternoon. The case is being tried before Special Judge Floyd Burns.
