~ PELLEY RETURNS
TO COUNTY JAIL
Former _ Silver Shirt Leader, Whose Trial Begins Tuesday, Fails to Raise $5000 Bond; Asher Posts Required Amount.
Unable to post an additional $5000 bond after his
second indictment on charges of sedition yesterday in Washington, William Dudley Pelléy, publisher of the anti-Semetic
Galilean, will remain in the Marion county jail here until
he goes on trial Tuesday.
Pelley is facing 12 counts here on charges of sedition and was named in a second indictment Thursday with 27 other persons on charges of conducting nation-wide conspiracy to obstruct the war effort through dissemination of seditious publications among the armed forces. Free since April under a $15,000 bond, Pelley was unable to make the second bond and his daughter, Miss Adelaide Pelley, asked to be relieved of the first bond. Pelley surrendered yesterday to Julius J. Wichser, U. S. marshal.
Prepare For Trial
Meanwhile, officials were making last-minute preparations for the trial here Tuesday. Mr. Wichser said that Pelley would be taken from jail each morning for a conference with his attorneys in the federal building. According to the U. 8. marshal,
Pelley cannot lose the $10,000 bond
he is under in North Carolina for his appearance there Monday to ‘start serving a two-year sentence for the violation of that state’s blue sky laws. * It was understood here that authorities in the southern state d threatened to forfeit the bond if Pelley did not show up. This cannot be done as long as he is in federal custody, Mr. Vhser said today. Court Asher, Mii publisher of the X-ray, who was indicted along with Pelley, was free on $5000 bond yesterday a few minutes after his surrender to Marshal Wichser. Other Hoosiers may be named by

Asher Denies Guilt
Asher is a former lieutenant of D. C. Stephenson, erstwhile Indiana grand dragon in the Ku-Klux Klan, who is now serving life at Michigan City prison for murder. Asher’s publication was barred from the mails despite his appearance in Washington and personal pleading that he is a “100 per cent American and intended no wrong.” Another person indicted by the government was a reserve army officer, Col. Eugene N. Sanctuary. Held in New York under $5000 bond, he expressed concern that he might not be able to go to Indianapolis for Pelley’s sedition trial Tuesday where he will be a government witness. He was advised that he would be permitted to attend the trial here.
ARREST EDITOR IN . GOTHAM HOSPITAL
NEW YORK, July 25 (U. P.).— William Griffin, editor of the New York Enquirer, was to be examined by a government physician today to determine whether he may be removed from St. Clare’s hospital for arraignment on a charge of having promoted revolt among the armed forces of the United States. Griffin was one of 28 persons a Washington federal grand jury had indicted on charges of subversion. A nation-wide search was ordered. for Griffin yesterday, but when his wife heard about it, she ‘revealed that he was stricken Thursday night with a heart attack. He was
arrested in the hospital.

REPORT NAZIS RAZE VILLAGES
Polish Official Sa Says Action Is Attempt to Stop .* Guerrillas.
By JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent
LONDON, July 25.—The Nazis and their puppets of central Europe have begun the systematic burning of entire villages in an effort to halt growing guerrilla activity, it was reported today. A high official of the refugee Polish government said that the Germans had razed ‘four Polish towns and, after executing hundreds of citizens and driving off the surviving members of the population— men, women and children—to Nazi labor camps.
A Jugoslav spokesman reported that the puppet Croat government, by direction of the Italians, had decreed that entire Jugoslav villages will be burned and destroyed unless patriot activities end.
‘Report Italian Bombings
Jugoslav quarters yesterday said that Italian planes had bombed to ruins four Jugoslav villages in retaliation for guerrilla train derailments and the death of two high Fascist officers. The guerrilla activities of Polish patriots have become a large-scale threat against the Nazi rear, the Polish government official said. The four towns reported razed were Homaciska, Horhynow, Sulkowice and Izdbnik, he added. Several hundred of the residents in each village were shot or hanged and the remainder of the 10 ,000 persons—total . population of = the four towns—were driven off. They were permitted to take with them only what they could carry in their hands.
Resist With Bare Hands
The “little second front” created by the Jugoslav guerrilla army of Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch continued a serious menace to the axis rear, the Jugoslavia spokesman said. Gen Mikhailovitch has radioed London demanding a second front, a United Press Ankara dispatch quoting diplomatic quarters reported. Gen. Mikhailovitch said that his people were resisting even with their bare hands and that they were being slaughtered.

They are the American Bearings Corp., Indianapolis; the S. F. Bowser Corp. and Phelps-Dodge Copper Products Corp., both of Ft. Wayne.

‘Perplexing Problem’ The excerpts follow: “To find a legal way by which approximately 5000 teachers in 500 school corporations. receiving state aid, (largely in southern Indiana), could benefit by the $100 per year raise in salary, as intended by the state finance board’s recent decision to increase school - tuition support from $700 to $800, was the perplexing problem of Dr. Clement T. Malan, state superintendent of public instruction, successfully solved through amended rulings at a special called meeting of the state board of education this week. “The decision of the state finance board grew out of extensive study of public school finances and the gross income tax situation in relation to school tuition support and state aid, made by Dr. Malan whose findings were published in the May 1942, issue of “The Indiana Teacher.” “In this article, Dr. Malan pointed out ‘the urgency, justice ‘and necessity of more school tuition support from the gross income tax revenue as intended when the law was passed in 1933, under the slogan, Save the Schools.’ : “He strongly advocated higher salaries for teachers without increasing taxes, but simply by allocating a larger portion of the gross income tax to school support. Both major political parties at their June conventions pledged themselves to increase tuition
support.” ” 2 8:
‘Finds a Way Out’
After pointing out. the fact that under the old ‘regulations, the state aid schools would not have benefited any from the $100 increase, the release stated: “Dr. Malan succeeded in ‘finding a way’ out of the perplexing and well-nigh baffling technicalities that would have deprived approximately one-fourth of the teachers of Indiana of the salary increase intended by the state finance board’s decision.” After giving all this background on Dr. Malan’s efforts in behalf of the teachers (who number some 20,000 and most of them vote) the release then detailed the actual action of the board of education in amending the rules to allow the added $100 to be used in raising the salaries of the teachers in state aid schools. The fact of the matter is that while Dr. Malan did introduce the resolution amending the rules, they were amended by action of - the ‘board of education. Dr. Malan is a member of this board by virtue of his office and the other eight members, four Democrats and four Republicans, are appointed by Governor Schricker. Frankly, this smells to high heaven! . .

G. 0. P. WILL GET HARMONY PLEA
Party to Be Be ‘Officially’ Told - 0f the Bradford-
Ostrom Switch.
G. O. P. candidates for county offices were to be “officially informed” of the deal worked out by party. leaders for replacing James Bradford with Henry E. Ostrom as county chairman at a ‘meeting this afternoon at the Hotel Washington The candidates were to be asked by both Mr. Bradford and Mr. Ostrom “to go along in the interests of harmony and the success of the party in November.”
Candidates Were Split
Some of the candidates were supported by the Bradford organization and others were supported by the Gen. Robert Tyndall faction. The Ostrom-for-Bradford switch was worked out by party leaders after Gen. Tyndall, the party's mayoral nominee, refused to support the regular organization- as long as Mr. Bradford, who supported his primary opponent, Mr. Ostrom, remained at the party helm. Mr. Bradford refused to resign in favor of anyone other than Mr. Ostrom and the Tyndall forces agreed to accept Mr. Ostrom as a compromise.

Don't Throw Ava That Can! Your Government Needs It
Don’t throw away that can! It’s unpatriotic! The government wants it, needs
|it badly and means to get it.
In a few weeks, maybe on Sunday, Aug. 9, the city will collect the tin cans you've saved and from here theyll go to Pittsburgh, Pa., for reclaiming. After that the scrap steel in them will go to make more steel. The tin will go into gas masks, food cans for soldiers, ammunition cans, motor bearings, machine gun mountings, bushings and a variety
‘| of other implements directly or in-
directly connected with wiping out the enemy. The average family, the government feels, buys 36 cans a month. And so, Mrs. Average Housewife, here’s what to do with them: 1. Clean them and remove the labels. 2. Remove the top and bottom and slip them inside the can. 3. Flatten the can, but don’t mash it. Leave enough space to see through. TIn reclaiming the tin, the cans are thrown in acid, which must touch all surfaces.) 4. Put the cans in a handy container and wait until the official
announcement of a one-day collec-
tion. This probably will be Aug. 9. 5. On the announced collection day, put your cans at the curb IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE. A city collection truck will be by. Very likely you already have received a pamphlet distributed by the Boy Scouts, delineating similar
instructions. _ If you live.in the county outside the city limits, save your cans, too. Collection plans are being worked out. now. Your cans so are wanted, Although this drive was ane nounced almost two weeks ago, people are still throwing away their tin cans with their trash, and thus they go- to waste—and the war effort is hindered that much.
In fact, the drive so far has been = so generally ignored that Louis C.
Brandt, city works board president, may postpone the Aug. 9 collection
date for two or three weeks until
the public “wakes up.” Cans that have contained paint, varnish, oil or substances with a high agid content are not accepts able. But all the other kinds are, including beer. : Last year America used 110,000 tons of - tin, most of which came from Burma. Only 44,000 tons were produced in this country. There are 8800 cans in a ton and from a long ton (2240 pounds) 22 pounds of tin can be reclaimed, That leaves 2218 pounds of scrap steel, and in making steel, one half * is scrap and one half is iron ore. It’s costly business getting tin from tin cans, but the Japs have Burma.
