It is practically a cinch that the Indiana navy recruiting area will pass its 2000-men-a-month goal this month. ‘ . With a week remaining in drive only 175 men are needed to go over the top. A record was believed established last week when 635 enlistments were. received bringing the area's total to 1825 for the month.

RUN-OFF SEEMS LIKELY IN TEXAS
0’Daniel Gets 48 Per Cent Of Vote, But Majority Is Needed.
DALLAS, Tex. July 27 (U. P.).— A run-off primary between Senator W. Lee O’Daniel and former Governor James V. Allred appeared necessary today to determine the outcome of Texas’ Democratic senatorial contest. Nearly complete returns showed that O’Daniel had received approximately 48 per cent of the vote. A clear majority was needed.
The Tabulation
When the Texas election bureau closed last night, incomplete returns from 251 of the state's 254 counties gave: O'Daniel .... .308,439 Allred cesssecsessss.260,047 Dan MOONY uxcarteveer 130200 Floyd E, Ryan.. . 10,000 ‘The figures gave O'Daniel a plurality of 120,392 over Allred, but he needed 33,000 more for a majority over all opponents. In the governor's race, the Sunday noon tabulations gave:
Hal.Collins. , creer. 168,880: Governor Appears Winner
Satisfled that Stevenson had won without a run-off the election bureau stopped tabulating. With the exception of Charles L. South, the state’s 21 incumbent congressmen all held majorities in the Democratic primary. South with 19,782 votes was forced into a run-off with OC. C. Fisher, San Angelo district attorney, who polled 22,244. Speaker Sam Rayburn of the house was running better than three to one over his opponent. Texas’ run-off primary is scheduled for Aug. 22. -
WARNS REGISTRANTS ON ADDRESS CHANGE
Another warning to selective service registrants to keep their local boards fully informed of changes in address was made today by Col. Robinson Hitchcock, state selective service director. Col. Hitchcock’s warning followed the reports of several local boards that many registrants have failed
. | in‘recent months to keep the boards
informed of their whereabouts. A failure to notify the local board of a change in address, according to Col. Hitchcock, is sufficient reason to declare a registrant delinquent. It can lead to an investigation by the FBI and it renders the registrant liable to heavy penalties under the selective service law.

of war, at power plants, transportation and communication systems— and thus to slow down and stop the giant German war machine. It is not concerned, like the scattered German raids over England, with terrorizing the citizens and breaking down morale, though morale must break naturally under a continuous series of holocausts like those of Cologne and Essen. The very technique of the mass raid provides its own protection, in a sense, and Air Marshal Harris saw this. It works out into simple arithmetic. For example, if there are 10 bombers over a target that is defended by 100 anti-aircraft guns, the ratio is 10 guns to one plane. If 100 bombers are over the same target, there is one gun per plane. And so on. As the number of planes is increased the number of planes for each anti-aircraft gun is increased correspondingly. At the same time, the mass raid, it is found, creates great confusion in the ground anti-aircraft crews, so that even their normal effectiveness is reduced by the very shower of planes and bombs overhead. The theory was proved in the Colonge and Essen raids. The average of the two raids was a loss of only 4 per cent of the bombers involved. Theretofore the average loss in smaller English raids, over two years, had been 10 per cent. Also, the explosive force of bombs,

Heavy Raids Would Shorten And Perhaps End the War!

especially the huge types now being used, is cumulative in a mass raid. The bomber is in effect merely a very long gun that can deliver explosives hundreds of miles. But, through the giant explosives it carries, it packs far more punch than anything yet devised. The explosiv effect increases disproportionately with the weight of a bomb, for less weight goes into the casing. Recent press dispatches from England report the use of 4000pound, or two-ton, bombs by the British. It is estimated that it requires about 300 tons of bombs for complete destruction within a squaremile radius, the technique being a mixture of 500, 1000 and 2000-pound bombs, both explosive and incendiary, to blast and start fires in all directions. It takes only about 6000 tons of bombs to reduce to rubble a city about five miles by four. The effectiveness, too, of mass bombings, kept up continuously as in the projected joint offensive, is in keeping the salvage crews always behind, never able to catch up with the successive destruction of key plants, power plants, railroads and transportation systems, so that a community becomes completely demoralized.

FLACK APPEARS BEFORE JURORS »
Defeated Candidate to Tel Probers of Alleged Vote Fraud.
Toney E. Flack appeared before the grand jury today to testify regarding alleged fraud he found during the recount of votes in his contest -two months ago. Mr. Flack, defeated candidate for
the Democratic auditor nomination, made repeated charges of election irregularities while recounting votes in connection with his contest suit against Glenn B. Ralston, the auditor nominee. Mr. Flack, whose contest suit is still pending final adjudication in circuit court, was expected to tell the grand jury that more votes were cast in one precinct out of the 15th ward than there were voters who ‘went to the polls.

He was also expected to testify on what he described as evidence of ballots being marked by persons other than a qualified voter. Meanwhile, Mr. Flack filed a suit in a justice of peace court, charging that one Democratic precinct committeeman threatened his life during an argument over election fotals. The suit asked that theq precinct committeeman be placed under a $1000 peace bond, which was ordered by Justice of Peace Andrew J. Bruce. .
