Greatest Convoy of War Lands at Several Ports in England; Doughboy Who Wins $1000 on Trip Pays Others to Shoq Away the Losers.
- AT A BRITISH PORT, Aug. 24 (U. P.).—American pilots, ground crews, troops, nurses, planes, tanks, guns and assorted equipment were distributed to United States army depots throughout the British isles today from the greatest ~ [Atlantic convoy of this war and one of the greatest of all time. The convoy was so big that it was necessary to land it at several ports, where special busses, trucks, trains and even street cars were waiting| ;

By VICTOR PETERSON The-old school bell will ring out as usual on Sept. 8 calling vaca-tion-weary Indianapolis youth back . to another nine-month grind. The . schools will be the ‘same ‘ and, for the most part, the teachers. But there will be a change | due to war conditions. World war II has infused and diffused itself throughout the local Hoosier system. In the main the curriculum has not been affected .by our plunge into the global conflict. Long before the Japanese stab in the back, the course of study had been directed toward the functional. Great stress had been placed” on the vocational aspects and today the emphasis is bearing fruit in local war n= dustries. Only one course has been added —elements of aeronautics. This was tested and found profitable ih the summer-school session.
. With young America becoming }|
air-minded, the new course will | be taught from a war and peace angle. And as air power is seemingly destined to turn the tide of battle, the course sets: the pace for the early training of future pilots, bombardiers, navigators, gunners. and ground crew. A Look at Tomorrow With peace, the power of theplane will mean greater interweaving of the lives of mankind, for today we are next door to most of the nations of the world. The geology is no different; the geography is. The world of tomorrow will be reckoned in air miles:and flying time. Even today Moscow is’ nearer to us than Boston was to Mt. Vernon in Washington's time.
BRITISH BOMB EMDEN BY DAY
Wounded Yank Brought His Damaged Fortress Back Safely.
LONDON, Aug. 24 (U. P.).—Sensationally successful daylight bomb-
ritory last week by American army flying: fortresses were followed yesterday by a daring daylight raid on the German Er\len naval base by two big British Wellington bombers. The planes dived through a cloud gap to 4000 feet altitude to drop bombs which their crews saw burst among buildings in the dock area. United States army headqu announced that the silver star had been awarded to Maj. Gen. Ira C.
er command, and Col. Frank A. Armstrong. Armstrong commanded the flying fortresses which made the first big army raid on Rouen Aug. 17, and Eaker participated. Headquarters announced also that Second Lieut. Richard S. Starks, Midway, Ky. was the pilot who, with his co-pilot dead, his right arm severely wounded and two of his four motors deadened by enemy fire, maintained controll of his fortress in a flight over the North sea Friday and brought it to a safe landing. The co-pilot was {econd Lieut. Water, Painsville, O. - The army announced Saturday that the 11 fortresses bagged at least three and damaged or probably destroyed six more out of between 20 and 25 German fighters which attacked them. All the fortresses returned. Three German bombers were shot down during. the night out of a small force of enemy planes which attacked midland towns.

BY EARL RICHERT
. MUCH: MORE hinges on the secretary of state's race this fall than .the election of a: secretary of state. Should Winfield K. Denton, the Democratic nominee, be elected, his victory would be regarded by his friends as the go signal for the launching of a campaign to win the gubernatorial nomination for the southern Indiana Democratic leader in 1944.
And should Rue Alexander, the Republican candidate,” be successful, it should enable State G. O. P. Chairman Ralph Gates and his friends to keep complete control of the party machinery and dictate the party's slate of officers again in 1944. Political observers believe that, under such conditions, Mr. Gates himself would seek the G. O. P. gubernatorial nomination,

Provisss Patronage
Mr. Alexander tells friends that if he is elected he will give out
the jobs in the patronage-heavy motor vehicle license bureau in
accordance with the wishes of the
state organization. And the state organization, as demonstrated decisively by the recent Republican state convention, is Mr. Gates and his block of supporters. With such patronage at their disposal for a two-year period, the
| Gates group should be able to
build a machine that no insurgent bloc of Republicans could overturn for some time to come. Mr. Alexander's loyalty to Mr.
Gates is based not only on a long-'
time ‘personal friendship but also on a political debt, He has the state chairman to thank for the fact that he was picked from an obscure political spot, the sixth district G. O. P., chairmanship, and handed the top spot on the party's ticket.
Dudley Smith Tops Em
DUDLEY SMITH, state salvage topped all applicants taking the recent personnel board
‘examination for the Marion coun-

Following Mr. Smith in the order of the ranking given them by the personnel hoard are Wade Searles, former Indiana university professor who is now in the army; Arthur Potts, administrative assistant in the state welfare department; Ralph. Collins, an employee of the social work division of the state welfare department; Frank Maloney, superintendent of an Indianapolis orphanage, and Conant Green, Indianapolis attorney.

fields are of great value in the armed forces. The trend of studies will be 'to further his ability in this field ‘as well as to continue his basic training upon which to build a vacation. But’ the real war spirit of a fighting America will find itself mirrored not in the curriculum:
the present director, resign or be kicked out—an objective toward which a number of county politicians are working—his successor would be picked from the top three of this group. - . As Mr. Searles is now in the army, Mr. Collins would be elevated to the third position should it become necessary for the personnel board to certify a list of eligibles : to the state welfare department: which picks" the welfare director here. The salary range for the directorship is from $3000 to $5100 per year.

The army and navy give the “E” pennant for excellence in war production. Union officials said the company had not met requirements for the award, especially as regards efficient management and fair labor standards.
