* HIGHER ARMY PAY ~ URGED BY THOMAS
Victory Depends on U.S. Production, McNutt Declares at C. I. 0. Event; Fears Manpower Shortage; Allied Offensive Predicted.
This is a common people’s war and organized labor knows the war must be won, R. J. Thomas, president of the U. A. W. and member of the War Labor Board, said here.
He spoke to 3000 persons

TWO SHIPS SUNK BY ITALIAN SUB
U. S. and British Vessels Go Down in ‘Black Hole’ Of Caribbean.
MIAMI, Fla., May 18 (U. P.).— A freshly painted Italian submarine
in the “black hole” of the Caribbean “broke the back” of a small
American merchantman with a torpedo and then sank a British ship standing by six miles away, survivors said today. All 22 of the American vessel's crew were saved. Survivors from the British ship believed 22 were lost from their vessel. Two were landed at Key West and 18 were picked up by a ship. The scene of the sinkings is
known as the Caribbean’s “black hole” because of the extreme depth of the sea.
Sub Freshly Painted
Michael Fitzgerald, 30, a survivor of the British ship, said the submarine was freshly painted. This recalled the sinking of an American merchantman announced by the navy May 8. Survivors of that ship said their attacker was freshly painted. The sinkings were "the 16th and 17th announced by the navy since May 4 from which survivors have been landed at Florida ports. Allen Lupton of Beautfort, S. C., sald the British ship was lost because it remained idle during the attack on the American vessel. “She could either have attacked the sub—she was armed—or she could have run,” he said. “She didn’t do either.”
WILLEMSTAD, Curacao, May 18 (U. P.).—The Aneta Netherlands Indies news agency reported today that a United States merchant vessel was torpedoed Saturday night off the Dutch West Indies island of Bonaire, Nineteen survivors of the ship were landed on Bonaire. Six of them them have been brought to
Curacao by airplane. |
Home Defense Bulletin
From Marion county and Indianapolis offices of civilian defense, World War memorial, 431 N, Meridian st.
First aid consists of taking care of any injured person until trained medical assistance can be obtained. If you have not had a first aid course—right now—make it a point to find someone near to your home who has this training. The best first aid you can give is to get help quickly from someone who knows what to do. You will appreciate these instructions more, perhaps, if something should happen to you.
at Cadle Tabernacle yesterday
the War Man Power commission; Col. A. Robert Ginsburgh, chief of the army press relations section, and George N. Beamer, Indiana attorney
general. Mr. Thomas told the workers that they face new sacrifices. He said that management was sharing sacrifices but that the failure of a; “few” firms to accept their share doubled labor’s burden.
Says Labor Keeps Pledge
“Organized labor has an unbelievable record in keeping its pledge given the president several months ago of no more strikes,” he added. He charged that labor baiters were attempting to draw a line between workers and soldiers by comparing the earnings of each. “There are 170,000 U, A, W. members in the armed forces,” he said, and cited the purchase of $65,000,000 in war savings bonds by other members. Urges Higher Army Pay
He also advocated more pay for private soldiers and recommended that each soldier and sailor receive a war bond monthly. Mr. McNutt told the rally that “not on Hitler but on this nation’s production of the weapons of combat,” does the road to victory depend. “Today,” he said, “we face shortages of man power that are equally as vital as the Shortage of critical materials.”
Visions Great Labor Army
- But by the end of 1942, he pointed out, America will have built a labor force greater than the one mobilized by Hitler in eight years. Col. Ginsburgh predicted that the United States would soon take the offensive. “We have had enough of glorious defeats. From now on we're going to win some victories--like that of the Coral sea.” Yesterday's rally ended a twoday educational conference held by, the C. 1. O. affiliate,
ASKS DISBARMENT OF LOCAL ATTORNEY
Attorney General George Beamer today filed action, asking the state supreme court to disbar William B. Waddell, Indianapolis lawyer. The attorney general contended that Mr. Waddell has counseled and maintained unlawful and unjust actions and proceedings in court; that he has solicited employment as an attorney for the purpose of instituting and prosecuting claims, and that he has failed to account properly and to pay over to his clients monies which came into his hands

Predicts Life Saving
This afternoon’s program was featured with a talk by Reed O. Dingman of the University of Michigan dentistry school. “Many lives will be<saved and serious deformities prevented because of developments in chemotherapy and advances in knowledge of jaw and mouth surgery,” he said. “With the advent of sulfomamide drugs and advances in technique, this speciality is becoming increasingly important in war services.”

Testifies McDermott Sold Stocks Above Quoted Price
Russell W. McDermott, Indianapolis investment broker, sold some stocks to clients at above the prevailing market price, Gordon Holland, one of the government's star witnesses, testified in federal court today. McDermott is charged with using the mails to defraud and violation of the security exchange act. Mr. Holland, who had been on the stand several hours before today's session, said that Mrs. Marie Sweeney, who, it is alleged, lost more than $40,000 through dealings with McDermott, was sold shares in the Puget Sound Power & Light Co. above the quoted price. Later, Mr. Holland testified, McDermott sent a check to the firm's Chicago -office with a request that it be an adjustment in the Sweeney account. When District Attorney B. Howard Caughran asked why this was done, Mr. Holland replied that MecDermott knew that the Securities].
PENNSYLVANIA GOES T0 POLLS TOMORROW
Times Special PITTSBURGH, May 18.—Penn-
ballots tomorrow after a campaign mainly notable for public apathy, despite the nationally known figures involved. Pennsylvania will elect no U. S. senator this year, but both its senators have been deep in the campaign. James J. Davis, known as “Puddler Jim” because he once worked in a steel mill, is seeking the Republican nomination for governor. Opposing him is Maj. Gen. Edward Martin, veteran of the Spanish, Philippine and first world wars and until a few months ago commander of the 28th division, but relieved of active command in January because he had passed 62, the army retirement age. These two have engaged in a mudslinging campaign which has outdone the Democratic feud which turned the state government over to the Republicans four years ago, Senator Joseph F. Guffey, whose principal stock in trade has been his breezy ride on President Roosevelt’s coattails, is not a candidate, althotigh Te ued to run, but claims original sponsorship of Ralph H. Smith, a Pittsburgh judge.

SUNDAY DRIVING HALVED IN EAST
Gas Cards Keep Motorists Home Despite Spring and Call of the Road.
By UNITED PRESS More persons in eastern cities stayed home yesterday than on any comparably warm spring Sunday for years, according to unofficial estimates. It was the first Sunday since gasoline rationing went into effect. All the \arge metropolitan areas reported that Sunday automobile traffic was at least 50 per cent below normal. Some strategic highways were reported “relatively empty.” ° Inter-city traffic in New England dropped sharply because of rain as well as well as gasoline rationing. In the New York metropolitan area traffic probably dropped more sharply than elsewhere.
Albany, N. Y.,, Philadelphia and’
Washington reported 50 per cent drops in traffic volume. Future week-ends sre expected to show even more drastic drops since many motorists had full tanks when rationing started Friday, Many motorists who obtained X and B rationing cards are exchanging them for more limited cnes beca of the furor raised when it was /revealed that thousands had chiseled,
Find Boy Where Father Left Him
THE REPORTED ‘“kidnaping” of 8-year-old Billy Wayne Jenkins yesterday was listed as a case “of forgetting-w here - the-car-was-parked” today. James H. Jenkins, R. R. 20, Box 339, the father, reported that his car and son had disappeared from the 300 block, West Washington st. where he had parked it late Saturday night. Both boy and car were located in the 400 block on Ketcham st. early yesterday morning. Mr. Jenkins had parked the car there and forgotten the location, according to police. During his wait, Billy was fed by Ketcham st. residents.
Indiana Politics
By Vern Bos
FOR THE MOST part, Hoosier Democratic: ers who met here over the week-end were ¢ about their chances next November. They have | 1 a few sore spots left over from primary troubles, and the state committee meeting ran of
without a hitch.
Of their problems, one likely to receive considers. able attention in the next few weeks is the agricultural vote. In the dustrial areas, the Democrats are well fixed at the present time. Tha 8 where the Republicans are having their troubles, 3
Evidence of a growing antiNew Deal feeling among Hoosier farmers has.been coming to the front recently. It was highlighted by an attack in the Farm Bureau’s official publication against some of the national administration’s farm policies. It’s a tough problem to tackle, but one that the Democrats must crack if they are to be success-
ful in their goal of recapturing
control of the legislature and state offices as well as picking up in congressional representation. Maybe another Hoosier Democrat, Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, can offer some helpful advice. ” 8 ”
G. 0. P. Eyes Labor Vote
MEANWHILE, the Republicans are aiming at the labor vote, They made some overtures a few months ago but were none too successful. At last week’s meeting, the state committee decided to set up a labor committee, with representation from all districts to assist in the fall campaign. If the G. O. P. is to make any congressional gains, it must capture three industrial strongholds— Indianapolis, Evansville and Lake County. Labor’s answer so far has been that the G. O. P. doesn’t love them in May as they do in- November. Union leaders are demanding that the party leaders show good faith and present a definite program before they: will
go along,
# Loser Congratulated
JOSEPH W. MARTIN Jr, the Republican national chairman, must have got his wires crossed. John G. Coulter received a letter from the congressman the other day congratulating him on his nomination and pledging support in the November campaign. Mr. Coulter, you may remember, lost
the noriaatich to Howard Meyer by 438 votes. . , . Some Democratic leaders who are favorable to State Rep. Win= field K. Denton for. the secretary of state nomination are getting disturbed over the Evansville legs islator’s delay in announcing his
candidacy. E. Curtis White of Indianapolis is waging an active campaign for the spot and Mr.
| Denton’s friends, recalling some
of the congressional where the candidates who So In in early and kept. swinging all way wound up with the er votes, are urging him to get started. . . . Ed Stein, Bloomfield, former speaker of the house, and Frank O'Rourke of Gary, a mem= ber of the 1941 house, are other possible contenders for the Demi= ocratic nomination... . . Following his selection as sixth district G. O. P. chairman last week, there were reports that Rue Alexander, Ping Village, mighé come out as a secretary of state candidate. He's an auditor in the state auto license division, and s his district victory resulted when Byron Jones withdrew to break an 18-ballot deadlock. Now some om Mr, Jones friends are to wager that they will get more. votes for secretary of state out of the sixth district than Mr. Alexander will.
