In a raid only a few hours previously, reported in yesterday's communique, they had made direct hits on one transport, damaged a second and capsized a tender.

Rep. Ludlow Attends
Rep. Louis Ludlow attended the meeting in an attempt to work-out a compromise. “Government programs must go through,” he said. “Still, the government should consider local sentiment in the matter.” The homes, contracts for which have been let to the Allied Architects & Engineers Co., will be 26 by 28 feet, one story, half with one bedroom and half with two bedrooms. In addition, there will be a kitchen-dinette, a living room and a heating room. There will be no basements.

GAS RATIONING IN ALL U. S. STUDIED

committee on the necessity of imminent gasoline rationing on the East coast. He was asked about the necessity for rationing petroleum products in areas such as Pittsburgh and West Virginia where oil supplies are ample. He replied that at this time the oil co-ordinator’s office had no intention of instituting rationing in areas where there is no shortage simply because curtailment was to be applied to the remainder of the eastern state area. Gives Figures Tomorrow He added, however, that it might be that gasoline would be rationed throughout the United States as a method of saving rubber. “If this becames the administration’s policy,” he told the committee, “we of course will be glad to co-operate in every respect.” Mr. Ickes told the subcommittee that his office. would make recommendations tomorrow on the degree of gasoline curtailment “which we believe is necessary for the East coast at present.” Mr. Ickes said that while he believed a ‘great many” cars had gone off the roads because of gasoline and rubber shortages, he could not estimate the number, “The response has been very gratifying,” he said. He recommended enactment of a federal law to compel drivers to keep under 40 miles an hour. Despite the pleas of the government, he said, some people don’t give a “tinker’s dam” and go ahead driving fast. ’
PACKERS LOSE IN STOCKYARDS SUIT
WASHINGTON, May 4 (U.P).— The supreme court, in a 6-t0-3 decision, today upheld an interstate commerce commission decision refusing to grant Chicago packing houses free egress from the city’s union stockyards for livestock shipments. The suit brought by Swift & Co. and joined by Armour & Co., probably will be a precedent for simifar legal actions involving other stockyards. Much livestock consigned to packing houses is delivered at union stockyards and placed in an unloading pen. Packers must pay a yardage charge to the stockyard company on whose property the stock is unloaded whether they remove the stock immediately or allow it to be held. Swift asserted it desired no yardage services and contended it was the railroads’ responsibility to afford, free, a means of egress to the nearest Chicago public street.

would like to point out that in 1918 it reluctantly deserted the Republican party and voted for Woodrow Wilson because “he kept us out of war”—but that, when war came in 1917, Kansas sent a greater proportion of men than any other state. Perhaps the main difference noted between this section and the East is that many folks out here are thinking more about licking the Japs than about stopping Hitler. There is less physical evidence of the war here—no big camps, few war industries except in large cities, little of the constant military &ctivity now so noticeable along both coasts and in the southern train-
ing areas. Don’t Expect Long War
Two tendencies strike the observer. One is a conviction that the war will not be long; the other, a refusal to believe that the Midwest 1 be bombed. I feeling is reflected in the slow start of civilian-defense activitie, complicated at the outset by the confusion in OCD at Washing-
ton. Only Detroit, of the big war-in-dustry centers in Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin, has had a practice blackout thus far. Chicago displays less awareness of the war than other large cities, although May Ed Kelly is working day and night to stir up the people, talking at as many as a hundred public meetings a week. He has tried to avoid any political complexion in civilian defense.
Proposes World’s Fair
True to her gusty tradition, Chicago now proposes to do the thing up right with a sort of world’s fair of the war—a “United Kingdom's war exposition.” Mayor Kelly has sent representatives abroad to gather exhibits which, according to -the prospects, will include the plane in which Rudolph Hess flew to England and the two-man Jap submarine captured at Pearl Harbor, as well as “blackout materials and methods.” The show is billed as “a medium of education to illustrate and depict vividly the reality of war and to raise funds for war - relief causes.” Chicago, the advance notices boast, “will be the first city in the world to have an opportunity to view all their terrible truth the bloody mechanisms, weapons and machines which are struggling gainst each other today in the four corners of the world.”

for city and county councils and township advisory board members (about 3000 by each party) will be selected in tomorrow’s voting. For the most part, it was quiet all along the politica] front today. candidates involved ‘in races expected to be close were watchful for any attempt to undercut their support. This was especially true in the Republican - ranks, where the organization and anti-organization forces were tossing off-the-record charges at each other. A committee of 100 lawyers, headed by Henry Krug, has been organized by the anti-organization group to watch tomorrow’s ‘voting for evidence of fraud and Mr. Krug said that all reports would be investigated and if found true, would be turned over to the U, 8S. district attorney.

tion in an’ intensive campaign of the: entire district, appeared to be setting the pace as voting time neared. -
There are five other candidate in the race, including two from Judge Rogers’ home county, and this may be a factor in determining the final winner. In the fifth district, another Democratic scrap was being watched closely, with the organi-zation-favored Edward, Hayes of Marion given a slight edge over Olin D. Holt of Kokomo, Floyd I. MacMurry, former state education superintendent, was reported to’ be setting the pace and favored to win. City Judge Emmett Ferguson of Lafayette in ‘the second district; Lewis Murphy of South Bend in the third; Sam Clelland of Ft. Wayne, unopposed, in the sixth; Rep. John Boehne in the eighth, Rep. William Larrabee (unopposed) in the 10th and Rep. Louis Ludlow in the 11th were the other Democratic favorites.
there was little doubt of the outcome. Reps. Charles Halleck in the second, Robert A. Grant, third;
‘George W. Gillie, fourth; Forrest A.
Harness, fifth; Noble J. Johnson, sixth; Gerald W. Landis, seventh; Earl Wilson, ninth, and Raymond Springer, in the 10th were regarded as certain winners. In the 11th, John G. Coulter, author and educator, who has organization support, faced a powerful challenge from Howard Meyer, Indianapolis attorney. In the first, Robert H. Moore and Samuel W.

Schulte Faces Battle
Rep. William Schulte was the only present officeholder who faced 8s serious primary threat, and most observers in the Lake county area (first district) expected him to come through. His. opposition is Ray Madden, long-time Democratic party leader and former county treasurer. Rep.

Two southern Indiana Democratic races providing fireworks may see early-race favorites falling by the wayside. J.
