With Conferences
On Changes.
The new city -administration, whigh takes office: Friday, will begin its extensive shakeup of police department personnel next Tuesday at
‘the first meeting of the new safety ‘board, it was aelrned today. Between 20 and 25 changes are scheduled to be made at that meeting and more will be made at each following meeting of the board until ‘thé entire department is reorgan‘ized. ~ Next Tuesday’s changes will in‘volve the outgoing police chief, Michsel F. Morrissey; Chief of De-
tectives Fred Simon and a score of |
‘police sergeants. : Chief's Next Rank?
While it was reported a week ago that Chief Morrissey likely would be demoted: to the position of a police sergeant or even to the rank of patrolman, the temper of, the new administration leaders reportedly has softened toward the outgoing chief and it is believed now -that he will at least be given a lieutenant’s rank and possibly be made a captain. The chief of detectives is scheduled for ouster and it is reported that he likely will be replaced by Inspector Jesse McMurtry, at present the department’s second ranking officer,
Schulz in Running
Also being mentioned for the top detective job is Sergt. Alfred Schulz, a bailiff in the court of Municipal Judge John Niblack along with the incoming chief, Clifford BeeKer. Most of the police sergeants will be reassigned in the department shakeup, a few will be demoted and others promoted. . Mr. Beeksr is working now on reorganization plans which he ex- - pects to submit to the new safety board at an unofficial meeting some time this week.

KENDALLVILLE GETS BLACKOUT PRACTICE
KENDALLVILLE, Ind, Dec. 28 (U. P.).—Well, at any rate, Kendallville residents will know what to do during a surprise blackout. They've had enough practice. Four times in the past week electrical power has failed in the city because of low steam pressure in the city powerhouse. Twice yesterday power was off, for one hour and 16 minutes the first time, during which time water power also was off, and the second time for 55 minutes. ° S. ‘R. Ludlow, power company superintendent, said that ice-cov-ered coal dumped into automatic conveyors and fed into fireboxes by
stokers reduced the pressure.

s War Moves
~ By LOUIS F. KEEMLE _- Uhited Press War Analyst * Continued German reverses on a long Russian front of more than 1000 miles ‘make it increasingly apparent that Hitler's striking power in Burops is neutralized for the winter. It is becoming less and less likely that ne will be able to undertake any such venture as an attack 4 on the Middle East through Turkey ‘or on Gibraltar throug Spain. A desperate attempt to.invade England is a possibility so-remote that. it can be dismissed from consideration. "Hitler's frustration has been achieved by Russia. His 1942 objectives
have not been attained and now his military position is precarious.

New Sheriff Asks Funds
»
Sheriff-elect Otto Petit, who will take office Friday, asked county commissioners today to request an appropriation sufficient to -hire a lawyer for his office during 1843. Mr. Petit explained that the 1941 legislature passed laws eliminating collection of fees from his office and therefore he would not have enough money from his salary to hire a lawyer. He said previous sheriffs have retained their own attorneys out of

extra fees they get in office in addition to their salary. He added County Attorney Victor “Jose Jr. would not have time to handle the legal work of the sheriff’s office in addition to other county business. Mr. Petit did not specify any amount for the appropriation. Last week the sheriff-elect asked commissioners to request an additional appropriation of $5200 to hire deputies in addition to those provided for in the regular budget, and to remodel the jail residence.
Here's Officer Who Will Get Medal If His Men Have Way
SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA, Dec. 28 (U. P.).—First Lieutenant Clair Edward Ogle, Oklahoma City, army ordnance officer, is going to get a medal if his comrades can get it for him. Lieut. Ogle and a bomb handling crew, it was revealed today, met recently a Liberator bomber just landing from Australig with a full load of 500-pounders. En route, the bomBs had become readier, accidentally, for detonation, requiring skilled handling for resetting of the fuses. While Lieut. Ogle’s men were working, the fuse on Ong: 50Q;poundet; began ucking
off the 60 seconds allotted for explosion. While the bomb handlers and airmen scattered, Lieut. Ogle climbed into the bomb bay. Ten seconds gone: Lieut. Ogle in the bomb bay, finding the fuse. Twenty seconds gone: Lieut, Ogle located the fuse and at work unscrewing it. Thirty seconds gone: Lieut. Ogle complete the unscrewing and began climbing out of the bomb bay. Forty seconds gone: Lieut. Ogle jumped from the ship and threw the fuse over a high earth revetment when it exploded harmlessly.
Surgeons Working Close to Front Save Yanks in Jungle
By FRANK HEWLETT United Press Staff Correspondent WITH AMERICAN FORCES IN NEW GUINEA, Dec. 22 (Delayed.) —A Boston surgeon, handling his instruments as deftly as if he were still working in the Massachusetts
§ |General hospital, saved the life of
an American soldier today in a portable field hospital, hidden in the jungle a few miles from the firing line. , The surgeon was Maj. George Marks. His operating table was a canvas stretcher mounted on empty wooden boxes, His nurse was a shirtless enlisted man, who handed him instruments sterlized in water boiled over an open fire. While Marks worked fast, opening the soldier's abdomen, clamping and sewing his ruptured intestines, First Lieut. Frederick Ross of Boston kept him strengthened with transfusions of plasma. The operation was performed with spinal anaesthetic.
Dr. Marks said the badly wounded|
soldier arrived at the hospital three
‘hours after a Japanese sharpshooter
had hit him. If the hospital had been’ as far back as ‘was usual in the last war, he’ would have died, Marks said. Capt. James D. Campbell of Boston,’ formerly of Chicago, assisted

FT. WAYNE BOY RIDES
TOMBS vie vas
by First Lieutenant John Lambert of New York, who was trained in Boston, recently performed a delicate brain operation successfully at the same hospital. “We requested this duty,” Capt. Campbell said. “We are most pleased with the army's new portable hospitals. Doctors can do much more for wounded men when they are able to operate promptly, and the best way is to be as close as possible to the front lines.” Shortly before I reached the hospital, I passed natives gently carrying three wounded Ameria on litters. Often wounded men are carried all the way to the hospital on litters, although there may be a road part of the way. ' It is much easier on the wounded to be carried than to be hauled in a jeep over bumpy roads.

“From what I know of workmen’s compensation. and state insurance funds, I am convinced. that the state system injects the administration of workmen’s compensation too close to the political field: for us to put our own adjustors in the field,” he said. “I am afraid that we might run into payment of compensation on the basis of political favoritism.” Max Sappenfield, supervisor of staff services for the state welfare

He said that the removal of the provision by the last legislature had added 3500 recipients to welfare rolls afi a cost of $850,000.™

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt lias abandoned plans to make a radio address to the nation [before he first of the year, it hE today. On two occasions recently, the President said at press conferences that he planned to deliver | such a speech this month. His decision not to do so will give him time to work on the budget for the next fiscal year and to prepare the state of the union message ‘which he will deliver to congress on Jan. 7. He has been spending consid-
erable time on those two tasks in recent days.

Officials Attack ‘Isolationism In Broadcast.
Three; outstanding American Lee gion officials last night vigorously attacked isolationism and pleaded for planning for peace in a broads cast over WISH. “Any peace must be world-wide in its planning,” declared Homep Chaillaux, national Americanism director of the Legion. “When this war is over, the gateways to the seven seas must open for the trade : of all people. With this must come a new code of justice and fair play, We might best say: Fair trade.” This position was indorsed by Fred Hasselbring, district come mander of the Legion, and L.. OQ, Duckworth, ut commander of the en-No! am post, in the broadcast, which was sponsored ‘by the Indiana Committee for Victory, of which Hugh McK. Landon is chairman. Perry Meek was master of ceremonies, “Isolation,” said Mr. Duckworth, “is as dead as Hitler, even though both are slow to stop kicking.”
