Mr. Maxfield succeeds Lowell Taylor of Vincennes. The 500 delegates also re-eltced Linfield Meyers, Anderson, treasurer. William Van Ness, Ft. Wayne, was named secretary.

Governor Schricker, speaking at a :

banquet which concluded the two.day conclave, told Kiwanians that nearly 200,000 Hoosier young men were among the 5,000,000 already in armed services. The Governor said that “everyone will have to either work or fight” before the war is over. J : Fears Inflation Earlier, J. Raymond Shutz, Indianapolis, trustee for Kiwanis interantional, told delegates: “If I am afraid of anything more than dictatorship, it is inflation.” ~Shutz urged that all Kiwanis members support the government's plan to curb inflationary threats by purchasing all the war bonds that you are possibly able to buy.”

He predicted that if, the conflict|

is not won by the end of 1943, private enterprise will “fold up” for flack of men, materials and supplies. ‘Shutz urged each delegate to reurn to his respective club and argrange for observance of National Wewspaper Week. He asserfed that the nation’s press—and personnel—| pre doing vitally needed work in ghaping the public’s morale.

‘As Farm

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY a Times Staff Writer | WASHINGTON, Sept. 29. —Rep. Gerald W. Landis (R. Ind) today recommended an old-fashioned Hoosier remedy for harvesting the farm crops in wartime when hands are short—the huskin’ bee. “The husking bee was built around the idea of bringing the near neighbors and townsfolk out on the farm to husk the corn,” Rep. Landis explained. “It looks to me like that could be revived to handle other crops when farm hands are unobtainable. The whole movement could be managed by the civilian defense organization in the country towns. In my opinion it would he far more of a contribution to winning the war then run-

“WORKERS ASK RAISE

CHICAGO, Sept. 29 (U. P.) —Edward Murrin, executive secretary of the Association of Western Railroads, said yesterday all of the na-

tion’s 120 major railroads had received demands from 950,000 nonoperating employees for a closed shop and a 20-cent per hour wage increase. The operating employees have not yet joined the non-operating employees in their demands al- | though the present national agreement between the railroads and both employee groups expires on Dec. ‘31. Murrin said each of the railroads would hold local conferences on the demands with union representatives, Oct. 15-25, as required under the national railway labor act. He said the individual railroads probably would reject the demands and a national ‘railroad conference would result, to be followed by sub-

mission of the dispute to the .rail-

way mediation’ board if’ the negotiators fail to reach an agreement.

ning around playing air raid in a blackout in some small town where

there is little likelihood that a bomb will ever drop.” In a speech in the house, where he supported the Brown amendment to add labor costs to the parity price formula, Rep. Landis recited the plight of the farmer in trying to obtain adequate help. “Farm organizations agree that the goals for agricultural production will not be reached in 1943 under present trends,” he said. “There are two principal factors for this alarming condition—attrac-

tion of farm workers to defense,

plants and the present application of selective service procedure.

Farm Youth Heed Call

“In defense plants there is the patriotic appeal and the monetary consideration offered by attractive wages. Thousands of farm boys have answered their country’s call to service. They march -under the colors alongside boys of every other walk of life. We honor them. Our concern regarding each of these boys is the dwindling food supply to. support their war front activities. “If the slogan, ‘Food Will Win the War, is the national slogan, then the rightful position of agriculture in this march to protect the American way of life, must be established and made known. . . “Our best protection against inflation is abundant production. The nation that has the last loaf of bread will: win this war.”

IN KISKA HARBOR,

U. S. and Canadian Planes ‘Also Attack Ships and ~ Destroy Planes. By RUSSELL ANNABEL

United Press Staff Correspondent ALASKA DEFENSE COMMAND

| HEADQUARTERS, Sept. 28—(De-

layed)—U. S. Army and Canadian fighter planes circled two Japanese submarines pounding ‘ them with bullets in Friday's raid on Kiska harbor, it was disclosed today: i The submarines were attacked during the first joint U. S.-Canadian raid on the Japanese-held island in the Aleutians. The navy announced the attack by fighters and bombers in a communique today and estimated that 150 Japanese were killed or wounded. Airmen told after their yeturn how a fighter squadron led by Maj. Wilbur Miller of Livingstone, Tex., attacked a Japanese submarine

[which surfaced in the harbor. The

squadron formed a circle with the submarine on the outer rim. As each plane passed over the craft, its cannon slugs beat a tattoo on the hulls Each plane loosed three barrages at the submarine before it dove. _- Like Father, Like Son

The second submarine was

subjected to a similar attack by a’

squadron led by Maj. Jack Chennault, son of Brig. Gen. Claire Chennault, commander of the U. S air forces in China. Observers reported they were un-

.able to determine how badly the

submarines were damaged. The fighter planes also destroyed several Japanese single-float fighters, hit two cargo ships, setting one afire, wrecked possibly eight out of 10 cruiser-type biplanes and shot down three Japanese fighters challenging the attackers. All of the American and Royal Canadian air force planes returned safely: Using tactics his father taught

the “flying tigers” in China, Chen- |§ nault accounted for one of the|:

Kenneth Boomer of Ottawa, commander of the R. C. A. F. squadron, downed another plane as the fliers swept in to strafe anti-aircraft positions. Lieut. Gerald R. Johnson of Eugene, Ore. brought down the third plane, which was tailing Lieut. Col. Charles McCorkle of San Antonio, Tex., a group commander, The fighter planes swept in through the overcast, leading the attacking bombers. Two cargo ships in the harbor were strafed repeatedly. One burst into flame and blazed fiercely.

Seven Seaplanes Blasted

Several Japanese seaplanes were on the water when the raiders attacked. Streams of “machine gun bullets were poured into them. At least seven were seen afire or shot to pieces. “The Japs are now getting an idea of what Corregidor was like for our men,” one officer said. “Our planes are vastly superior to the Japanese fighters, despite the maneuverability of the’ latter,” another officer said. “Our score thus far is 100 per cent against
