WAR TO CAUSE CITY PROBLEMS

Shortage of Materials for Streets Seen; Swimming Pools May Close.

What is Indianapolis going to be like next year as the nation's war effort becomes increasingly all out?” Mayor Sullivan cautiously declined to predict, as far as muservices are concerned. But recall that during the first the last war, no street recould be

City has more money than, ever before to spend on the main- — of the normal services, but faces a shortage of materials—

steel, equipment and possibly ‘aggregates.

Pools May Close

The one thing that’s going to affect Indianapolis youngsters most is the possibility that City swimming pools won't open next summer. Parks Supt. A. C. Sallee said that if chlorine is as difficult to get next summer for non-essential purposes as it is now, the pools definitely will remain empty. The City will not open them unless chlorine is available to prevent the possibility of contagion. Municipal Recreation might be curtailed, too, because of lack of personnel. It has been increasingly difficult for the City to get recreation instructors. As the demand for manpower in defense industry and the armed services increases, recreation personnel is expected to dwin-

dle. Hospital Faces Problem

However, there is expected to be an expansion of public recreation facilities for service men. Plans are being worked out for it now. ee, Hospital, the States argest vilian hospital, faces a shortage of Sven ba Hospital officials have urged the doctors to enlist in the medical

reserve. Police and Fire services, however, will probably be expanded, although there is no indication that will be done immediately. Right now, Mayor Sullivan is too busy to worry abolt what the situation might be next summer. He was poring over a plan of givil defense organization at City yesterday. That's what is keeping him busy right now. >

ARRANGE HEARINGS FOR ENEMY ALIEN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U. P).— Enemy aliens will be interned for the duration of the war only in

cases where there is “strong reason to fear for the internal security” of the United States, the Justice Department announced today. This announcement, however, was not expected to save from detention camps the bulk of the 2303 Germans, Japanese and Italians already seized as “dangerous” aliens. They will be given hearings by review boards as soon as the boards are in each judicial district of the United States. Altogether there are more than 1,100,000 German, Italian and Japanese nationals in the country.

Write Footnotes

Into 'The Mikado

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 (U. P) —Performances of the Gilbert and Sullivan operetta, “The Mikado,” will be presented here next week as scheduled, but the printed pro-

gram will carry an explanatory note, saying, in part: “Almost three-score years have passed since William Gilbert wrote this, depicting the Japanese in the light that history now records —sly, wily and deceitful, unconscionably corrupt and treacherous.” The operetta satirizes British characters who are given Japanese names. An employee of the Gilbert and Sullivan Opera Co. yesterday announced that three local performances at the National Theater had been cancelled because Baltimore audiences Monday received the production cooly, particularly its opning song: “We are gentlemen of Japan.”
