URGES END OF WAR AS ISSUE

Willkie outlines 3-Point Program for the Republicans.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (U. P.), = Wendell L. Willkie believes that the war should be eliminated as an issue in congressional and state political campaigns. Willkie, titular head of the Republican party, prescribed a threepoint program for his party yesterday. He said he spoke as a Republican, but hoped Democrats as ‘well as Republicans would adopt similar principles as “the creed of America, the objectives for which we fight.” His program: “l. That Amrica must fight this war in union with other countries: until the last vestige of totalitarianism and aggression is destroyed throughout the world. For we have come to know that the world of today is so interrelated that a cancerous growth in one part quickly infects all other parts. And we now know that we in America for the sake of our own survival, must be concernefl with the health of every part of the world. “2. That no matter how painful or how long and arduous the road to complete victory may be, we must tread it with no thought of appeasement and no hope of peace until we reach its end. And that end must be a world in which men and women of every race and creed can live decent lives of expanding econemic; opportunity and political and religious freedom. “3. That when the war is over, we must set up institutions and methods of international political and economic co-operation and adjustment among the nations of the earth to the end that: excess nationalistic ideas and military ambitions will find no spawning ground; that we must, in addition, devise some system of joint international force to prevent their growth under any circumstances. For we are resolved that the people of the world shall not again be cursed with the frightful suffering of modern warfare.”

200 gallant members of the state guard, auxiliary police and members of the Bronxville police force made to capture them, would really have been suicidal. The “saboteurs”’—100 auxiliary policemen—were captured on the Bronxville high school campus last night. Theoretically, they had been driven there after they had blown up the railroad tracks, captured the depot and a station agent and looted the biggest bank in town. J The state guard rushed to the campus in trucks and automobiles. They refused to be outdone by two broomstick machine guns and heroically stormed the “saboteurs’” barricade and captured them all,

LIVESTOCK DUE

Estimates 14,000 Attend Opening County Events At New Bethel.

This area’s finest livestock was to begin arriving at the Marion county fair at. New Bethel tonight, with

morrow. The fair got off to the largest opening in its 1l-year-old history yesterday when an estimated 14,000 persons turned out to watch Governor Schricker perform the formal opening ceremonies. The governor was accompanied by the state’s first lady. Hog and poultry judging was scheduled for Thursday, and on Friday there will be open competitino for dairy cows. County 4-H judging also will be done on Friday.

Sponsor Contests

On Saturday the Indainapolis Dairymen’s Co-operative association will sponsor district dairy competition for Marion ‘and adjoining counties and also county 4-H. The fair is open from 9 a. m. to midnight, the midway opening at 1 p. m, Sharing the spotlight . with the governor last night was the Moral Community band, which is to give its second concert at 8 o'clock tonight. Walter Myers Jr. will speak under auspices ‘of the Marion county civilian defense council on “Spying and Sabotage.” Last night the defense speech, carried throughout the fairgrounds via the Jordan conservatory public address system, was delivered by A. R. Dittrich, who spoke on “Civilian Warriors.”

Jordan Contributes

The Jordan conservatory is presenting nightly entertainment. Last night Peggy Million was starred in a 15-minu elodrama, “Sally of the Ozarks.” Later, she and Robert Lashbrook, also of the conservatory, conducted short interviews with people in the midway and they were carried on the address system. By tonight, the Marion County Rabbit Breeders’ club expects to have 350 rabbits on display, according to J. A. Burgmann, show superintendent and club president. On Irvington night Thursday, there will be an old fiddlers’ contest, directed by Municipal Judge Dan V. White. He announced that competition is open to all men over 45 and that they must be able to play “Turkéy in the Straw.” Cash awards of $15, $10 and $5 will be made, he said. Harry Roberts is’ secretary-treas-urer of the Marion County Fair association.

TEXAS PUBLISHER URGES TAX RELIEF

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4 (U: P.).— Tax relief to help corporations pay off debts was urged today by W. P. Hobby, publisher of the Houston (Tex.) Post and former governor of Texas. “Leave us something with which to pay our debts and operating expenses and let the governmerit take the rest of our earnings to finance the war,” he told the senate finance committee, which is holding hearings on the house-approved $6,271,1000,000 war tax bill. Hobby, the husband of Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, director of the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps, appeared in behalf of small corporations which have borrowed heavily for expansion. George Favors Plan Committee Chairman Walter PF. George (D. Ga.) last week gave his support to a proposal that such corporations—as well as individuals with large debt burdens—be permitted to deduct part of their debt payments from taxable income. Hobby pointed out that under the house bill corporations must pay out 45 per cent of their earnings in normal and surtaxes, and. 90 per cent of their excess profits. “It is obvious that under these rates,” he said, “despite the most careful and prudent management, nothing will be left in many cases for, paying debts incurred in good faith and which under normal conditions could “have been amortized from earnings without difficulty.”

DEATHS AVENGE GAMBLING LOSS

Max - Fox Confesses Two Slayings Over $300,000 Lost on Willkie.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4 (U. P)— Gambler Max Fox rejoiced today, although he was charged with two murders and had signed the sort of confession that leads quickly to the electric chair. “I never felt better in-my life,” he said as police took him to his cell. He had confessed, faster than the police stenographer could take it down, that it was he who invaded the White House Bridge association yesterday and shot Robert UC. Greene, 40, and Morris (Dimples) Wolenski, 54. When Fox, 48, was New York's biggest betting commissioner, Greene was his partner. Wolenski once was a “torpedo,” or gunman, in the notorious Louis (Lepke) Buchalter gang. Fox charged that Greene had cheated him out of $300,000 on the 1940 presidential election and the public out of $400,000 more in bets. Office ‘In His Hat’ Carrying on: since then, with his office “in his hat,” Fox had been obsessed with a yearning for revenge. In his confession, Fox began tar back in his career in the underworld. In 1927, when he was released from Sing Sing prison, after having a term for a holdup, Greene and Sam Boston organized a betting firm. Three years later, they dissolved the firm, and re-organ-ized it as Greene and Co. with offices-on Wall street. Ruined by Willkie Defeat

They prospered until the last presidential election when Fox put $300,000 on Wendell Willkie at heavy odds. But, he told police, Greene hedged, switching to. Mr. Roosevelt, cleaned him (Fox) out of $300,000 and various other Willkie supporters out of $400,000 more. Greene told him the firm was broke and he was bringing in Wolenski to supply new capital. Twenty months ago, Fox said, he was squeezed out. Fox and his wife and three children were in poverty. Greene was living in luxury. Three months ago Fox said he bought a gun and gradually worked up “enough steam” for the revenge.

Switch From Water-Borne

To Air-Borne

By S. BURTON HEATH : Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. -- The

‘| best brains of the united nations

are agreed that the outcome of “his war, and the fate of democracy for many generations, depend upon our finding some quick, sure way of getting military supplies frorn thee tory to battlefronts. Because we have failed thus far in that one major test, the AngloAmerican alliance has been endangered by one defeat after another, and our Russian gllies are fighting with their backs fo. the wall. Details cannot be given, vidotuise they are considered military secrets, although the axis knows all shout them. But it can be said, without specification, that more than one embarrassing beating has been traced directly to battlefield shortages which could have been relieved by better transportation facilities. There no longer is any secrecy about the fact that the Germans are sinking united nations’ shipping faster than even our marvelous speedup can replace it. The situation is growing worse, instesd of better, as the time grows nearer when adequate trans-oceanic | argo facilities will be indispensible. | These statements do not | rest upon conclusions of the reporter. They are the consensus of most insiders—probably of all who matter. The public testimony of dozens of the best informed authorities is confirmed in private conversation by dozens of others. -I¢ is this situation which has produced the current agitation for a vast air cargo program, to.stipplement the democracies’ inadequate water-borne merchant marine. The extent to which the guvernment will decide to plunge on freighter aircraft may not Le revealed until, in course of time, the daily news begins to make it apparent. It can be stated with considerable authority, however, that the United] States will expand greatly the present small cargo program. There are three principal avenues along which this enlarged phugam may be directed. . One, discussed before Co ngress by Grover Loening, aeronautical consultant to the WPB, would utilize the old Ford trimotor, the Fckker trimotor and the Curtiss Condor—which used to be thegJuxury liners of our air passenger’ Jines— as freighters. 2

proved them, and we could put

them back into mass production|

with a minimum of delay. | Another, urged by Hemry J. Kaiser, west coast shipbuilding wonderman and by Andrew J. Higgins, New Orleans shipbuilder, would turn perhaps nine shipyards into mass production plants fof 75ton super-freighters like the Glenn Martin Mars flying beat or, if we wanted some land planes of corresponding size, the Boeing 13-19 of which one trial plane was constructed and tested. The third possibility is to develop a supercolossal 200-ton freighter, capable—with assistance on the takeoff — of carrying two of our

Cargo Studied

hugest (50-ton) tanks, or twenty P-40 fighter planes.

Backers Emphasize Speed

Technically this is entirely feasible, aviation men say. Eight 2500-horsepower motors, of types already available, would power such a craft. Propellers and landing gear already available would be adequate, they believe. The Germans have depended largely upon their old JU-52, corresponding to our Ford, Fokker or Condor trimotored craft. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker suggests that the new Curtiss-Wright C-46 may be the answer to our transportation prayer. This, he told Congressmen, can carry six tons 1000 miles, four-and-a-half tons 3000 miles. The difference in pay load, of course, reflects the weight of gasoline which must be lifted on the takeoff, according to the distance to be flown.

Advocates of .the 200-ton supercraft estimate that 10,000 of them could replace all the shipping now available to the united nations. The argument for switching from water-borne to air-borne freighters emphasizes safety and speed. While we should lose some aircraft to the enemy, airmen contend that the loss would be infinitesimal compared with what submarines are doing to our ships on the sea. They point out also that loss of even the

three or four lives and perhaps 50 tons of cargo, as contrasted with many times that number of lives

much cargo when a ship is sunk. Program Presents Problems

A fast air freighter could deliver its cargo and be back, ready to load again, in a week, airmen say. On the other hand it takes on the average 75 days for a plodding ship convoy to make the round trip to England, five months to and from Archangel, India or the Middle East, four months to and from Australia. No authority disputes the advantages of freighter planes, or questions that we need more than we have. The experts do suggest some hard nuts we should have to crack before we could enter upon any such g program as enthusiasts demand.

We do not have sufficient raw materials. to build thousands of cargo planes, in a hurry, without taking steel and copper and aluminum and rubber and plastics away from the bombers and water-borne ships upon which we are concentrating now.

Engines Are Bottleneck

Particularly, we should encounter a vicious scarcity of engines and fine navigational instruments. Harold E. Talbot, chairman of the WPB’s air transportation committee, says that every engine now ordered has been allocated to military craft. The choice, Talbot made clear, is between bombers with which to devastate axis production centers and transportation lines — and fighters to protect those bombers— and cargo planes. The choice is between ships, now being built, and air freighters to be built. The minimum time suggested by any proponent of an all-out air cargo program, in which production

SLAVE STEALING Hundreds of Thousands Are ; Deported to Germany to

Balk 2d Front Aid.

. LONDON, Aug. ¢ (U. P.).—Adolf Hitler has launched a “master plan” to break the resistance of OCs. cupied Europe by deporting hune dreds of thousands of enslaved peo ples from their homelands, & United Press survey of information reakhing refugee governments ine dicated today. The primary purpose, of course, is to undermine and weaken the help available to an allied second front army. The refugee governments estis mated that at least 3,000,000 pers sons already had been deported from their homelands, most of them to Germany, and that thousands are being carted off daily from Holland, Belgium, France, Poland, Yugosla= via, Czechoslovakia, Norway, Dene mark and Greece. : Invasion Fear Blamed In recent weeks the Germans were said to have accelerated en= forced migration as resistance and = sabotage increased, and Nazi fears mounted that the allies would open a second front soon. : A secondary purpose, it was bee lieved, was to provide slave labor for Nazi war factories and for con struction gangs hastily erecting | fortifications. a One refugee spokesman was cone | fident that Hitler planned to take / all the men from the troublessme areas and perhaps all the Jewish = men, women and children from Western Europe. : Apparently. Holland, which hag been carrying on underground ware fare almost continously since the occupation, is to feel the most powerful effects of Hitler's master plan which reportedly involves the transportation of practically .all males between the ages of 16 and 60,
