BROKER ENTERS

NOT GUILTY PLEA

McDermott’s Trial Is Set For May 14; Alger Denies Robberies.

Russell W. McDermott, widely known Indianapolis broker, filed a plea of not guilty today when arraigned in U. S. district court on charges of using the mails to defraud and violating the securities and exchange act. The date for the trial was set tentatively for May 14 by Judge Robert C. Baltzell. A 10-day period was given Mr. McDermott to procure an attorney and submit pleadings. He appeared today without counsel. He is free under bond.

Claims Client Lost $40,000

Mr. McDermott was arrested last Friday following his indictment by the federal grand jury. B. Howard Caughran, U. S. district attorney, had told the grand jury that Mrs. Marie Langen Sweeney, wife of Allen G. Sweenel, had lost more than $40,000 through Mr. McDermott’s transactions. The grand jury was told that letters confirming sales of stock in connection with Mrs. Sweeney’s account were sent to a fictitious person at an office next to Mr. McDermott’s in the Board of Trade building.

Alger Denies Postal Theft

Gene Alger, who escaped from Marion county jail recently only to be ‘recaptured a few hours later, pleaded not guilty to burglarizing the Scottsburg and Lawrence post offices. He also pleaded not guilty to the charge of escaping from jail. Trial of Alger on the Scottsburg charge will be April 20. He will appear May 11 to answer to the Lawrence post office and escape charges. Three of six men charged with violating the selective service act pleaded guilty when arraigned before Judge Baltzell. Three additional cases were to be heard later today.

In the case of Charles P. Mitchell of Morgan county, charged with failing to advise his board of change of address, Judge Baltzell ruled that if his local board would induct him

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Today

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press War Analyst Indications are that the turning point of the war may be reached this summer in the battle of Russia. In the opinion of London military observers, Hitler is prepared to stake everything in an all-out attempt to reach the Caucasus oil fields. If Russia fails to collapse, his prospects for next ; year are precarious. The two factors that would then beat him would be Russian manpower and allied supplies.

interdependent. While Russia can striking by sea at the allied arctic supply line to Murmansk and Archangel. If he can cut it, or reduce its flow to a trickle, the Russians will stand less chance of resisting his onslaught this summer. While Hitler is hacking at the arctic route, his ally Japan is fighting its way through Burma toward India and the Indian ocean supply route. It is a. twin offensive, with Burma and geographically distant Murmansk close neighbors in a strate=gic sense, Hitler promised the Germans he would rout the Russians this summer and German propaganda cur= rently is broadcasting blasts about the coming offensive. Hitler’s boasts and German propaganda often are intended to be misleading and to distract the enemy’s attention from a planned attack in another direction. The German arctic activity, however, would indicate that Hitler is not feinting. The British are on the alert, expecting an attempt to get the Tirpitz and other German naval

units out of Norway for a serious threat to the arctic supply route.

The truth of the matter seems, to be that Hitler has ho choice but to concentrate on Russia. It will take so many men that he will have none to spare for ventures elsewhere.

London commentators suggest a possible solution which Hitler might try to attempt. That is to throw an army of up to 1,256,000 men into the Caucasus drive. It would consist of the best and strongest troops Hitler commands. A larger army, but one inferior in quality, consisting of perhaps 2,500,000 men, would be assigned to holding the long central and northern front. This army, according to British sources, would include more than 1,000,000 men from the satellite states of southeastern Europe. It is a gamble whose rewards would be great, but there are risks. A drive into the near east probably would bring the Russians and British together at last on a common front.

LABOR LAUDED BY MARTHUR

Never Failed Army, He Says in Replies to Pledges Of A. F. L. and C. I. 0.

GEN. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR'S HEADQUARTERS, Australia, April 1 (U. P).—Gen. Douglas MacAr=thur, replying to pledges of support from the Congress of Industrial Organizations and the American Federation of Labor, expressed confidence today that American labor would prove “the indestructible backbone that will determine the present vital struggle.” To the C. I. O. he said: “I appreciate deeply your message, which has just reached me. Labor has played its magnificent part in every great war our republic has fought, and that it will do so again and prove the indestructible backbone that will determine the present vital struggle is my firm conviction. I have complete trust in the mighty effort I feel sure you will put forth.”

Never Failed Army

To the A. F. of L. he replied: “Labor has never failed the army of the nation. May God bless you all for your splendid patriotism.” The C. I. O. message from James B. Carey, secretary, said: “The executive board of the C.' I. O. has unanimously directed me to convey to you and your valiant men our support in this great struggle for freedom and humanity. The millions of members of our organization working in mines, mills and factories that comprise our arsenal of democracy are proud to be associated in this great fight. We know you are confident of ultimate victory over the forces of the Fascist axis.”

A. F. of L. Proud of Stand

The A. F. of L. message from President William Green was: “We are behind you,. General, 5,000,000 strong. Your fearlessness and skill in face of overwhelming odds makes every last one of us proud to be American. We solemnly pledge to invest $1,000,000,000 of our earnings to help maintain you and our fighting men everywhere, and we further pledge that we will build for our armed forces the finest and best war weapons the world has ever produced.”

STATE COSTS TOP 207 MILLION IN YEAR

Indiana paid out $207,711,450 for state and county governmental functions during the 1940-41 fiscal year, an increase of $2,500,000 over the previous fiscal year, according to the annual state statistical report. The total represented an output of $60.60 in governing cost for every man, woman and child in the state. State operational costs alone totaled $53,639,978, topping the operational costs of all 92 counties by $3,000,000. Other figures disclosed that $165,000,000 was paid from governmental unit treasuries for non-government functions, including payments on bond issues and loans, for municipal utilities, investments and for matching federal funds. Property taxes provided the most revenue last year, bringing in $105,421,704 or approximately 50 per cent of the total revenue. Gasoline taxes accounted for the second largest intake with $27,112,483. The public debt of the state stands at $151,168,185.

Want to Serve Hitler Subpena?

WASHINGTON, April 1 (U. P.). —Who wants to serve a subpena

on Adolf Hitler? During a hearing on synthetic rubber production, the senate investigating committee discussed a German offer of $24,000,000 in gold to Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey for its Hungarian properties. Committee Counsel Hugh A. Fulton doubted whether Germany had that much gold and said it probably belonged to France. “We’ll have to subpena Hitler and bring him here to find that out,” Senator Clyde L. Herring (D, Ia.) remarked.

HANDLEY ACCEPTS RULING OUSTING HIM

State Senator Harold Handley, La Porte Republican, said today that he would not contest a recent ruling by Attorney General George Beamer that his senate seat had been vacated by his entry into army as a commissioned office, “The reality of war has obliterated politics from the picture as far as I am concerned,” the senator wrote. “I realize that my district (La Porte and Starke counties) could not be served by my absence and so will accept the decision feeling that it is for the best interest of everyone concerned.” He thanked the voters of his district for their condence but said he prefered to hold that confidence by services in the armed forces rather than by an attempt to hold down his senate job at the risk of being unable to function. Several other Republican leaders throughout the state, however, have attacked Mr, Beamer’s ruling which vacated the senate posts of both Mr. Handley and State Senator Edward Green of Indianapolis, also

a Republican, who now is on active | duty in the navy.
