MINE GROUP ASKED LEWIS

T0 DESERT

Murray Seeks to Create New Union to Include UMW ‘Rebels.’

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U. P) —

President Philip Murray of the C. I. O. today led a drive to strip John

L. Lewis of his power as a labor

leader. A committee of the C. I. O. executive board drafted a recommenda-

tion for creation of a new C. I. O.} :

international union to include 18,000 “rebel” members of Lewis’ United Mine Workers District 50. Locals of District 50 in St. Louis, New York, Buffalo, and from 40 or more other cities sent approximately 125 elected delegates to the C. I. O. meeting to apply for a charter under] Murray's leadership. At the same time the C. I. O. took the first step toward expulsion of the United Mine Workers by declar- | ing the U. M. W. to be delinquent In its per capita tax payments to

Philip Murray . . . ‘the nation knows Philip Murray is not a Communist.”

the C. 1. O. Murray indicated that the drive would not stop with district 50, which is composed of coal by-| product, chemical and gas workers, but will include an effort to turn the coal miners against their boss.|

Two Now Bitter Rivals

He said the rank and file of miners would be given an oppor- | tunity to “judge the justice or injustice” of his expulsion by Lewis as U. M. W. vice president. Murray + supporters said he received more) votes for vice president than Lewis] did for president at the last miners’ | convention. i Murray and Lewis, former friends] who have become the bitterest enemies in labor, are engaged in unrestrained name-calling. Murray has charged Lewis with “treasonable” acts, challenged his patriotism, and asserted he was “hell bent on creating national disunity.” Lewis responded by charging that Murray had “cast his lot with the Communistic elements of the C. I. O.” and that his “character as-| sassination” was an attempt to! cover up the real issue, “the U. M. W. versus communism.” Murray replied that “the nation knows Philip Murray is not a Com-

{munist” and that his ideological be-

liefs are “unadulterately American.” Every man on the C. I. O. payroll was put there by Lewis and worked for him, Murray said in reply to charges that many C. I. O. officials were Communists. “John L. Lewis will be the leader of a new drive, a bigoted drive, a drive of prejudice and hatred, to divide the house of labor and the nation under the cloak of this subtle and vicious resolution directed at the president of the C. I. O. and the labor movement,” Murray said in an address at the executive meeting.

Russia Smashes Enemy Back After Nazis Stage ‘Feeler’ Attack.

MOSCOW, June 5 (U. P.).—Heavy fighting was reported underway today on the Kalinin front where Russian troops, steadily pushing the Germans back, were said to have fought their way into the streets of a “vital” town. Front line dispatches told of the recapture of five towns and villages in the Kalinin sector northwest of

Moscow. In one region three German regiments supported by artillery, tanks and planes attacked Russian positions and achieved some gains until a Soviet counter-attack was launched to throw the enemy back. Both Russians and Germans were said to be making exploratory thrusts at scattered points along the 1800-mile front.

“Lull Before Storm”

Military observers in Moscow said that the feeler attacks all along the front appeared to be “the lull before the storm that may break at any moment” because huge armies are poised on both sides of the battle line all the way from Leningrad to ..e Caucasus. The army organ Red Star said that Russia is on the eve of “the decisive battle for the final annihilation of the enemy this year.” Reports from Murmansk said reinforced Soviet aerial defenses were fighting with increasing success, maintaining the vital northern supply line.

TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS SHORT OF TEAGHERS

Married women with teaching licenses and those capable of holding emergency teaching permits may soon be asked to take over township school classes, Robert H. Wyatt, executive secretary of the State

Teachers’ association, declared today. Mr. Wyatt spoke at the convention of the County Superintendents association. He said that a survey made last week in township schools “conclusively shows that the war effort has already made inroads into faculty staffs and that the shortages haven't begun yet. “So far, the war effort has changed ‘to some extent’ the subjects taught in the schools—some

been added. In almost all cases, changes were made because of a rapidly growing teacher shortage,” he asserted. Superintendents attending the meeting confirmed Mr. Wyatt's statements that most of the county teachers have taken jobs in war industries for the summer and it is doubtful if they will return this fall. Mr. Wyatt also told the superintendents that the quality of teaching must unavoidably “slip.” Some schools may have to close, he said. Other speakers included Dr. C. T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction.

TEACHERS RECEIVE FOUR SCHOLARSHIPS

The Grade Teachers’ association of Indianapolis, through its executive board, has awarded four scholarships of $50 each to association members for study during the summer. Teachers who received the awards are: Miss Emeline Joseph, school 72: Mrs. Melva Pickett, school 81; Miss Clara Schneider, school 47, and Miss Phyllis Waters; school 17. Miss Schneider will use her scholarship at Indiana university while the others plan to attend Butler university. -

LIST 232 SHIPS LOST TO SUBS

3 More Sinkings Reported In Western Atlantic Area Yesterday.

By UNITED PRESS Axis submarines have sunk at least 252 allied vessels in the western Atlantic since mid-January, an unofficial compilation showed today. The navy revealed three more sinkings yesterday: A medium-sized American merchantman sunk in the Caribbean May 12; a small American merchantman sunk in the same area May 25, and a medium-sized British merchantman sunk off Cuba May 27. Additionally, the navy announced that the patrol vessel Cythera— formerly a yacht belonging to Mrs. Edith Hale Harkness of New York— was missing and presumed lost. Four men on the medium-sized American vessel were killed by machinegun fire, with which the axis submarine raked her while the men were trying to get into lifeboats, and eight more were missing. None was lost on the small ship.

MAIL JUNE INCOME TAX INSTALLMENT

Statements covering the June 15 quarterly installment of the 1941 federal income tax are being mailed, Will H. Smith, collector of internal revenue announced today. Failure to pay at least the quarterly payment on or before June 15 forfeits the right of the taxpayer to pay in quarterly installments, according to Mr. Smith. He said the entire amount of tax automatically becomes due and payable upon demand together with interest, when a quarterly payment becomes delinquent. Payment of the entire remaining tax at this time is “not only acceptable but will be appreciated” and if any taxpayer desires to pay his entire amount, a check to cover same should be forwarded and accompanied by the notice which is being mailed, Mr. Smith declared.

TERRE HAUTE TRAIN ORDERED CONTINUED

A petition by the New York Central railroad to discontinue passenger service on two runs between Indianapolis and Terre Haute because of reported financial loss and need of the equipment for war transportation, was denied by the public service commission yesterday. The commission reported a survey showed traffic on the two trains had increased 135 per cent in the

BRITISH BATTER NAZIS IN LIBYA

Air Warfare Spreads as Axis Tank Thrusts Are Repulsed.

CAIRO, June 5 (U. P.).—Sharp aerial warfare spread over the Libyan battle front today while British armored columns fought off axis tanks "attempting to batter their way into Bir Hacheim on the British southern flank 48 miles below Tobruk.

An R. A. F. communique said allied fliers intercepted two formations of axis aircraft shooting down six Junkers 87's, two CR-42’s and one Messerschmitt 109 over the hot North African hattlefront.

Axis Ship Is Sunk

The communique added that torpedo planes sank a large enemy merchant ship in the eastern Mediterranean Wednesday night despite the fact it was escorted by destroyers and aircraft. Allied bombers raided landing fields at Derna and Tmimi in the coastal region, and objectives in Sicily and Catania. Meanwhile, British and Indian forces drove off an axis attack on positions near Bir Hacheim on the southern salient of the British Libyan desert line, the Middle East headquarters reported.

Turn Back Enemy Tanks

As the enemy forces attacked, the communique said, British and Indian imperial columns launched an assault from the rear, turning back the axis forces which were supported by tanks. British planes roared overhead during the action, destroying axis dive bombers, poised for an effort to relieve the increasing pressure on Col.-Gen. Erwin Rommel’'s axis desert forces, and bombing and strafing concentrations of troops.

NAVY GONSTRUCTION WORKERS SOUGHT

Applicants for the navy’s construction outfits will be interviewed by a visiting navy civil engineer at the recruiting office in the federal

building here Tuesday from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m. All applicants must complete the navy’s physical examinations before they can be interviewed. They are advised to take examinations Saturday, Sunday morning or Monday. Ratings are open for the following classifications: Auto repair superintendents, blacksmiths, carpenters, concrete work superintendents, coppersmiths, dredge deckhands, mates and firemen, divers, line and station mechanics, excavation superintendents, launchmen, shop and station mechanics. - All applicants have been asked to bring proof of their experience.

INQUIRY SOUGHT ON SCOTT APPOINTMENT

WASHINGTON, June 5 (U.P) — Senator Frederick VanNuys (D. Ind.) said today he had asked the senate interstate commerce committee to investigate complaints against John W. Scott, Gary, Ind.,, nominated by President Roosevelt for re-appoint-ment as a member of the federal power commission. Senator VanNuys said he had neither recommended nor opposed Mr. Scott, but that there had been a “good deal of complaint, some of it within the power commission,” about him. As a result, he said, he had requested an investigation by the committee, to which the nomination was referred. Commerce Committee Chairman Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) said he had made no plans with respect to Mr. Scott’s nomination and did not know whether Senator VanNuys’ request would result in public hearings.

Nazi Newspaper Reaches Sweden With Story of RAF Devastation.

STOCKHOLM, June 5 (U. P.).— An issue of a Cologne newspgper, first to reach Sweden since the Britsih devastation raid last Saturday, said the whole center af the town was in ruins. “In one night British terror completely changed the face of the town so well known to us,” it said. “...It is true that the devastation was enormous. Much of what was inseparable from Cologne has gone forever. . . . “Whole quarters offer the same sight: empty window frames, suins and broken facades.” The newspaper said there were many wrecked buildings near the Rhine embankment, between the Hohenzollern bridge and the suspension bridge, and that one of nine churces destroyed was in the immediate neighborhood of the Rheinau docks. (The newspaper might possibly be trying to inform German readers that the bridges and the d@ocks suffered heavily.)
