NEW FACES IN ‘LIBYAN ARMIES

Air and Artillery Activities On the Increase as Days

Become Longer.

By RICHARD MOWRER

t, 1042, by The Indishapolis Times i Chicago Daily New

WITH THE BRITISH oro CMY IN LIBYA, April 30.—As the days become longer, the desert more wind-blown and more scorched, air and artillery activity on the Libyan fropt, seems on the increase. Since winter's bitter campaign, two virtually new armies have been reformed and re-equipped, and are facing eath other from Gazala, on the coastal sector, to the parched, dusty, hot areas, scores of miles to the south. Near the coast, the two lines, fairly definite, have dug in. The farther south one goes, the more indefinite each line becomes: just a string of defensive positions and strong points, while no man’s land becomes such a great expanse that mobile patrols have to travel overland by car for hours before they get near the enemy locations.

Axis Extends Flank

Axis forces since the end of last week ‘have been extending their right flank | farther south. They have sent a strong column of tanks, guns, lorries and infantry from a place called Rotonda Segnale, to an area where the country -is rough. So far, however, the fighting has been limited to encounters between patrols and to air engagements, bombings and shellings. There are noteworthy differences between the German African army of today and that of last November. There is still the Afrika, Korps, with its two armored divisions, the 15th and the 21st panzers. But many of the men and virtually all of the tanks are new. There are more and heavier anti-tank guns, including some captured Russian anti-tank guns. Tank crews are new. The Italians still have their ariete, or armored division, but it is virtually composed of new faces and new tanks. \ The axis air strength seems at present to be concentrated against Malta.

LONDON, April 30.—Eire is no longer the carefree, well-fed, welllighted neutral country, according to Irishmen in London on business. It is still neutral but the effects of the war are now evident throughout the country, The acute shortage of coal has dimmed Dublin’s lights and the failure of the wheat program is threatening a serious bread shortage. Lack of gasoline has resulted in a ban on all cars from May 1 and public transport facilities have been severely restricted. Many Irish are thinking today os the famines of the 19th century and waotidering whether they will see a repetition, according to a prominent Irish visitor to London. Unless means are found to import wheat, there is likely to be a gap between the time present supplies are used up and this year’s harvest. Despite government efforts to insure equitable distribution of bread, there is some fear that there may be bread riots in Dublin and Cork. Eire’s production of dairy products and meat provides a considerable quantity of food but much of it is beyond the means of the poorer people. Those who can afford other

‘Union Maintenance’

CLOSED SHOP Not A Subject for WLB, Says Steel Firm Head.

CHICAGO, April 30 (U. P)— President Wilfred Sykes of the Inland Steel Corp. told company stockholders yesterday that the “union maintenance” for employees “is not properly a subject for arbitration” by the war iabor board and declared that Inland ‘would resist union demands for a “closed shop.” - Mr. Sykes made his statement in an oral report to the stockholders on the company’s position in the case now before WLB involving demands by the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (C. I. O.) for union maintenance, checkoff and a $1 a day wage increase in ihe “little steel” industry—Inland, Republic, Bethlehem and Youngstown sheet & Tube. Mr. Skyes said “questiohing of a man’s right to work unless he pays tribute to a labor organization can only bring about strife and disunity” ‘during the war crisis. Fears Disunity “We feel this is a question which if faced honestly would be submitted to congress for an expression of national policy and that it is’ not properly a subject for arbitration by the war labor board. He said “public indignation” against the closed shop had caused WLB to substitute the phrase “union maintenance.” “Because that phrase is new and dificrent,” he said, the public does not understand what the board is doing. In many respects, union maintenance is a more undemocratic procedure and more dangerous to American institutions than the closed shop itself.”

INLAND FIGHTS

Of Guinea Pigs

NEW YORK, April 30 (U. P.).— From all you have -ever heard about guinea pigs and rabbits you would scarcely expect this, but a casual census disclosed today that an acute shortage of cavies has developed and the nation’s rabbit population is on the decline. Guinea pig prices have doubled in the past six months. Rabbits are up 50 per cent. White mice are getting hard to find. The result is that the hospitals

-and research laboratories are ex-

periencing difficulty in obtaining animals for experimentation and the detection of disease. Dr. Thomas C. Parran, surgeon _general of the United States, reports that government agencies cannot obtain half the guinea pigs they need. People have just quit raising them, abandoning their backyard hobbies for jobs in defense industries. In addition, there has been

‘an increased demand for the

cavies (as professional raisers call them) with the lend-lease act as a principal cause. Food shipments sent abroad are tested for vitamin potency and this takes a lot

of guinea pigs.

NAZI CALLS RAF RAIDS A BENEFIT

Racial Theorist' § Says They ‘Bring About Discovery Of Undesirables.

WASHINGTON, pod 30 —Alfred Rosenberg, the Nazis’ leading racial’ theorist, has evolved what must be a comforting doctrine to homeless and wounded inhabitants of Germany’s Baltic ports that have been blasted by the royal air force. A recent issue of Rosenberg’s “Archiv fur Rassen und Gesellschaftbiologie,” said: “During the air attacks, the thickly populated areas in towns and cities are found to suffer most. These areas are inhabited by people who are usually poor, who are unlikely to ever improve their lot, and who are no great asset to the community, “On the other hand,” the journal continues, “the continuous explosions of heavy bombs.are bound to unhinge mentally those whose nerv-

VICHY, April 30 (U. P.).—Gen. Henri Honore Giraud, who escaped from the German fortress at Koenigstein into Switzerland, motored here yesterday from Lyons and conferred with Marshal Henri Philippe Petain, chief of staff. i Marshal Petain® invited Gen. Giraud, who was captured by the Germans in May, 1940, to luncheon, and they conferred again in the afternoon. An unconfirmed report was that the general sent Marshal Petain a letter pledging support before he came here. He was said to be in poor health and it was reported that he may ask permission to go to north Africa.
