SECOND SECTION

MOSCOW SEES FILM OF FIGHT NEAR KHARKOV

Pictures Show Power and Speed of Russians in

Desperate Combats.

By LELAND STOWE Copyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. MOSCOW, May 28.—The first newsreel pictures of front-line fighte ing in the great battle which has been raging for two weeks in the Kharkov region are now showing in Moscow's theaters. They include vivid scenes of Ger= man tanks charging, of Soviet are tillery and anti-tank rifles knock= ing out several enemy monsters, of

the forward rush of the Russian infantry and confirm the fierceness of the combats. The pictures give a graphic reproduction of mechanized power and constant fluidity of movement as well as desperate intensity of Lhe death grapples on the southwestern front. Red infantrymen, each two sole diers carrying a long-barreled anti tank rifle, rush forward from shelle hole to shellhole, from hummock to hummock,

Russ Act Swiftly

They take cover and put their rifles into operation with great speed. Several of these rifles open fire from the ground in a right angle flank position upon the enemy’s advancing tanks. Whether hit by the artillery or the anti-tank rifles, the enemy tanks are stopped and Germans seen running away from them. Other scenes catch groups of Russian infantrymen as they charge around the exposed face of the cliff, As one group goes around the cliff side and over the top, a soldier falls limply, as only a dead man falls, but waves of his comrades roll outward unflinchingly. The pictures show Soviet troops fighting their way through the ruins of a village. The soldiers take shelter behind the rubble of chime neys and fragmentary walls of de molished houses, leaping forward from one cover to another, firing steadily. Show Russ Victories

In the later scenes victorious Russian troops are seen marching into a newly liberated village where peasant women, children an? gid men, all of whose faces reveal hunger and suffering under Nazi occu=pation, welcome them with lifted hands and cheers. On the main street a woman tries to tear down a signpost bearing a German ine scription. A Red soldier knocks the lettered board off with his rifle butt and both laugh happily. In another sector the newsreel shows a Red guard being presented with a new guard's battle-flag. The

the practical difficulties. They said it was good propaganda but of course utterly impossible. Yet we are going to meet those goals and pass them in some respects Sometimes practical men are so preoccupied with the difficulties—and naturally they are more aware of the difficulties than the outsider—that their best judgment of what can be done is warped.

THERE WILL BE endless difficulties when we try to figure out how this world can be run without jumping off the track and ripping up everybody's life. The state department analyses of those difficulties probably cover acres of white paper. It would be easy to convince anybody that no scheme is practical, that no detail of a proposition is practical. Yet which makes sense—to let it ride and go through this repeatedly, or to find a way to prevent it or make it less likely?

say youre getting visionary and impractical. Mr. Wall said that most of the

orders for war goods would come directly from the federal division of penal industrial operations but that some would be taken directly from contractors with war orders. He said that the mattress and blanket factories and the foundry at the state reformatory would produce mattresses, feather ticks and all types of cast iron ware such as garbage cans, ete., for Uncle Sam.

Make Tools and Dies

The metal workings plant at the state prison will be used te manufacture all sorts of tools and dies and all surplus products turned out by the shoe factory at Michigan City and the three prison canning plants are to be turned over to the government at standard prices. “We probably will have to start operating these factories on longer shifts to turn out the needed war goods,” he commented. The governor stated in an address before state institution heads at the Claypool hotel today that while aiding in the war effort the prison industries would continue to be used for their original purpose of providing for the essential needs of the 21,000 inmates of the various state institutions. Some Plants to Close Mr. Wall discussed the shift over to war work in another address be-

Washington

WASHINGTON, May 28 —Here's something that puzzles me. When you talk about the need of organizing this world so that nations can operate in their daily affairs without having everything upset every 20 years by a general war, people say it sounds good but it isn’t practical. I have a good many friends, and some of them tell me that on some days I seem very practical and realistic and cn other days I seem visionary and a sucker for beautiful dreams. Perhaps so. No man is a good judge of himself. Yet I'm inclined to be stubborn about this. I have been reporting politics and public affairs for some years. I've seen many realists in action and many so-called theorists. A couple of years ago Washington had up the question of whether steel capacity should be enlarged. New Deal economists were giving me arguments to show that even though steel plants were then not running to full capacity the war would require more than we had built at that time. But I found several practical steel men disagreeing. They showed me figures, explained the intricacies of the industry, and put up a convincing case as to why we had all of the steel capacity we would need. Yet today we have not enough steel for the ships and tanks we could build. But it is too late to build more capacity. The theorists were right in their judgment.

COURT DELAYS ANGER NIBLACK

Raps Lawyer Whose Client X Failed to Appear First Time Trial Was Set.

Judge Niblack spoke his mind today about lawyers contributing to

the inefficiency of the courts. Immediate object of his criticism was T. Ernest Maholm, whose client, held on a reckless driving charge in connection with a minor accident, had filed a petition for a change of venue. And in filing the petition, Mr. Maholm had failed to sign the necessary form showing that he was representing the client. To top it all off, neither the defendant nor his attorney appeared the first time the trial was set and the police had to go out and make a rearrest.

Judge Questions Client

“How many cases have you had in Judge McNelis’ and my courts since the first of the year?” Judge Niblack asked Mr. Maholm. “About three or four,” the lawyer replied. “And in each tase you've filed for a change of venue. Why?” the] judge queried. “Because my said Mr. Maholm, The judge turned to the client, John Wilson of 308 Mineva st. “Do you know me?” the judge asked the defendant. “No,” said the client. “Do I know you?” asked the judge. Wilson shook his head. “And yet you've asked for a change of venue!” remarked the judge. Insists on More Efficiency

SOME OF THE BOYS around town are pretty much burned up over reports that at least three local firms—big companies, too—have dismissed employees when the bosses learned the employees had applied for army or navy commissions. Sounds downright unpatriotic . » The idea of having an Indiana war chest, patterned after that of Indianapolis, is in the wind. Many small communities throughout the state are being besieged by multitudinous war organization appeals, and see the nead for a state organization to correlate these various drives, just as the local war chest is doing for Indianapolis. . . . The Community Fund has received a check for $75 representing the proceeds from the Indianapolis Athletic Club invitational bridge tourney. It will be applied to the USO goal in the fall war chest campaign.

NEW YORK CITY, Wednesday.—I left Washington yesterday morning on the 11 o'clock train for Philadelphia, where I was met and taken to Allentown, Pa. for the Muhlenberg bicentennial celebration. I had wondered whether the floods would interfere with this trip, for we had to motor from Philadelphia and from there to New York City after the evening meeting. However, I had no word to the contrary and started off. It turned out to be an interesting and delightful day. The Muhlenbergs have been a

When the war started she decided her best contribution would be to secure the maximum production from her gardens and put them to a specialized use—her jam factory.
