CARGO INSURANCE | TO AUSTRALIA CUT
NEW YORK, March 30 (U. P.).— Indications that dangers to shipping have been somewhat lessened in the Pacific were seen today in the announcement that marine underwriters have reduced war risk cargo rates on shipments between Pacific coast ports and Australia from 9 per cent to 6 per cent. Underwriters have been consistently announcing increases in rates since the United States entered the war and only late last week raised rates on shipments to Australia from both Pacific and Atlantic ports to 8 per cent. No change was made in rates to the Atla..tic coast either via the Cape of Good Hope or via the Panama canal.

They Are Swarming Now But They Work the Year Round.
This is the time of year, as spring housecleaning gets under way, that causes many housewives to despair. It is the time when the air may suddenly be filled with swarms of insects. Flying ants? Possibly. Moths? Possibly. But often what are mistaken for flying ants or moths are actually a more destructive insect, the termite. Termites are beginning to swarm now. But swarming termites don’t do any damage. It's those that are still working away deep in the wooden portions of the home that wreak havoc. They do not stop in their destruction, according to H. L. Parsons, president of the Termite Control Co. 655 E. 42d st, until they themselves have been destroyed. “When you see a swarm of termites,” Mr. Parsons said, ‘you must realize that termites have been at work on your home at least two years, probably more. It takes that long for a termite colony to produce a swarm.” The termites nest in the ground, usually 100 to 200 feet from where they are eating. The workers take their food back to the queen termite. “Thus superficial spraying of the infected wood does no good,” Mr. Parsons said. “That nest must be isolated also.” The Termite Control Co. first makes free inspection of the property believed to be damaged. This inspection is a thorough one because termites work one-half to one-quarter inch inside the wood surface. If termites are found, then the wood is drilled and a pressure

How termites work.
Recently classes had to be dismissed from one Indianapolis school when termites swarmed in the gynasium, Mr. Parsons said. There it was discovered that termites were eating a gymnasium floor not more than six months old and which had been laid over a concrete base. The Termite Control Co. has treated more than 2000 cases of termite damage in Indiana. It was called to a big shirt factory where the termites had gone so far to eat two dozen shirts before they were discovered. Factories in Pennsylvania, Georgia and Mississippi have also called in the Termite Control Co. to eliminate the pests. The firm maintains branch operators in Liberty and New Albany, Ind, and has representatives in nearly all the principal cities of the state. Through lumber dealers and large hardware distributors, it sells the Termite Control solution. The termite can be identified from other insects. It has six legs and no eyes. They are less than one-quarter inch long. It has a black body with white wings. The Termite Control Co. can make positive identification for any householder who is in doubt. The company guarantees its work for five years.

CLEVELAND, March 30 (U. P).— The recent intensive drives on farms, industrial plants and automobile graveyards for steel scrap supplies are beginning to show good results and an easier situation is probable for several months, the magazine Steel said today. The authority said the better flow of scrap made possible the relighting of several idle open hearths last week, with the result that the national steel production rate was advanced 2 points to 9712 per cent of capacity, a new high since the first week of January. Further relief for the scrap situation, Steel said, will be seen when navigation is resumed soon on the Great Lakes. The magazine stated that conversion of industrial plants to war production continues, with many plants manufacturing products far removed from their regular lines. Some fabicators of aluminum, unable to secure that metal, are turning out steel cartridge cases, while
| manufacturers who normally use
forgings and machined parts are | turning to stampings, which are more easily obtained. The trade journal said that dis-

manufacturers is relieving pressure on mills to some extent, numerous

Between April 1 and June 30, most blanket rating orders will be revoked or allowed to expire and consumers will be placed under the production requirements law.
OMAR SALESMEN WORK FOR BONDS
A contest among its salesmen is being conducted by the Omar Baking Co. here with awards to be de-
fense bonds. Each salesman who renches his objective will be awarded a $25 defense bond by the company. Likewise, each salesman has agreed to buy another $25 defense bond with his extra earnings on this business. Thus, for each salesman who reaches his objective, two defense bonds will be purchased. If all the company’s salesmen in the Indianapolis area reach their objective, $11,650 worth of defense bonds will be purchased by them a the company. During the recent defense bond drive, which was known as the salary allotment plan, 60 per cent of Omar’s employees pledged themselves to buy defense bonds. Omar has 630 employees and 378 of these are now buying defense bonds on the salary allotment plan. More than $500 a week is being set aside to buy bonds.

STUDENT-WORKER SAVES FIRM $3000
Times Special LAFAYETTE, March 30.—Ten students have completed a course
in metallographic laboratory practice on the Purdue campus, attending classes on week-ends when they were not working at their regular jobs. They studied the grain structdre of metals under high-power microscopes, and the manner in which these tiny grains are affected by stress, rolling and heat treating. This training is useful in war industries as a means of determining flaws in bearings or castings. One student, Purdue reported, saved his employer more than $3000 as a result of his study in class. He discovered, how to treat certain castings involved in war orders so that they would meet government specifications. Nearly all the men in the class were employed in war industries. Those completing the course and receiving certificates are: Donald L. Hamelton, 328 Lawn ave, West Lafayette; George W. Berryman, 328 Lawn ave, West Lafayette; James T. Parker. Pendleton, Ind.!

LONDON, March 30 (U. P).— Russian forces on the Kalinin front have thrown back the heaviest German assault since last fall's drive on Moscow, dispatches from Moscow said today. Fifty thousand German mechanized troops were routed in a five-day battle on the vast Kalinin front, north and west of Moscow, the dispatches said, and the Russians have broken through the enemy defense lines and captured several additional inhabited places. The battlefield was one of the bloodiest of the war, it was said. Three German divisions and two regiments, attempting to annihilate a Soviet salient and reach a strategic river bank, were repelled with a loss of 2450 killed, 25 tanks and 22 planes, the Red army reported. The 427th German infantry regiment was routed in one day's fighting, Radio Moscow said, with two of its battlions completely annihilated.
Attempt to Bomb Moscow
A statistical recapitulation of the battie still is in progress, it said, but it was known that at least 20 machine guns, 40 motor trucks, 12 big guns, 51 pillboxes and several trench mortars were destroyed and large quantities of war materials ,captured. Radio Moscow reported that only nine prisoners were taken. German bombers appeared over Moscow just before midnight, and dropped bombs “at random over res-

idential quarters in the heart of the city,” Radio Moscow said. The main body of the raiding force was dispersed before reaching the city, it said, and three bombers were shot down by the Soviet anti-aircraft defenses and Russian fighter planes. The broadcast said “only one or two” German planes penetrated the defenses, and there were only a few casualties.
Air Activity Widespread
Today's first Russian communique said there had been no important changes in the front during the night, The midnight Soviet communique reported Russian aerial activity on several fronts. Thirty-seven German planes were destroyed against a loss of 18 Russian aircraft, it said. The Red air force damaged four German tanks, 90 truckloads of troops and supplies, 15 field anti-aircraft guns and blew up several railway tank cars. In addition, it dispersed and partially destroyed three companies of German infantry. Dispatches said the Russians had cut the railroad connecting Leningrad and Novgorod, 200 miles _ to the south. In the Donets basin, the Red army was reported to have driven the Germans out of a number of villages and on the central front, it was continuing an advance after crossing an unidentified river. There was no news from Russia on the progress of the fighting at Staraya Russa, where the German 16th army is encircled.

President of Philippines Prepares to Establish
Exile Government.
GENERAL M’ARTHUR’'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, March 30 (U. P.).—The president of the Philippine islands today rejoined the man who directed the heroic Bataan peninsula stand against the invading Japanese. Arriving with his family and cabinet, President Manuel L. Quezon held a long conference at allied Pacific headquarters with Gen. Douglas MacArthur, who has pledged to liberate the Philippines. They presumably discussed establishment of a Filipino government in exile. It was their first meeting since Gen. MacArthur left Corregidor island. The Quezon party arrived later. Lieut. Col. Legrande A. Diller, army spokesman, said Quezon’s escape from the Philippines would result in a “big uplift in the morale among the people of all occupied areas.” “Filipinos should be grateful that Quezon has been able to join MacArthur and work jn Australia on behalf of his people,” he said. “His arrival in Australia will enable him to have valuable outside contacts and more efficiently conduct the administration of his government.”

He said Mrs. Weese disappeared into the house and returned with a shotgun. Without aiming or lifting the gun to her shoulder, she blasted at Mrs. Laisure, standing 12 feet away, he said. Funeral services for Mrs. Laisure were held Saturday.
