IGHWAY FUND “CHANGE VOTED
Senate in Busy Day Also ~ Rejects $210 Minimum For City Police.
.The state senate acted on several controversial proposals yesterday. ‘The actions were: ~ Amended the state highway fund bill to provide $26,500,000 a year for the state highway commission, to ~ support the state police department half from the motor vehicle revenues and half from the general fund and to require cities and counties ~ io take a 10 per cent reduction in their allotment from the motor vehicle fund if revenues fall below the $26,500,000 estimate. Refused to give the police and firemen. of Indianapolis 3 $210 minimum salary instead of the $200 maximum provided in the present salary increase bill. . Passed and senf, ta the governor 2 house bill which would. give state aid of $1 a day to county tuberculosis hospitals for each patient in those institutions. Killed 8 bill to give county auditors a 25-cenf, fee for handling
mortgage exemptions.
- The latter bill had been defeated
. Priday, 16 to 23, buf, was called back
+ for reconsideration. Senator . Charles Phelps (R. Ff. Wayne) aitacked it on the grounds that the . “fee system is one of the most iniguitous setups in the state.” ~ Senator William Bates (R. New . Albany), author of the bill, said opposition. to his measure had resulted from “jealousies of the building and loan associations.” This time the bill was defeated 5 to 36.

Here's two-way acid indigestion help! Now a tested ingredient, plus an improved idea, help to give soothing relief ~ to your stomach really quickly!
CHECKS ACID DISCOMFORT |
An enemy cannon shell exploding in as bomber over Wilhelmshaven didn’t prevent one of Indianapolis’ own men from dropping his whole shipload of bombs on the Nazis.
No, sir, Lieut. Edward C. Bren-
C. Brennan, 1932 N. Talbot st., went, right ahead and with other members of the crew of a Consolidated Liberator bomber completed their mission.
Yes, Lieut. Brennan is going to have some pretty thrilling tales of life and death in a bomber to tell when he gets home. He hasn't writen his parents about any of his exploits. “Just read the newspapers about the bombing raids,” he wrole recently. “I take part in them.” And that, Lieut. Brennan, we might say is putting it mildly. So if it isn’t possible for you io tell
doing we can. For Nat Barrows, The Indianapolis Times-Chicago Daily News correspondent, has just sent us a story about one of your exploits from a bomber field, somewhere in England. He describes the field as one of America’s aerial front lines in the round-the-clock U. S. army air force and R. A. F. high explosive blasting of every conceivable enemy target in Europe. From there the huge Liberators take off to knock out Nazi factories, submarine pens, railroads, naval bases and warehouses. ; And this is the story. Barrows tells of a Wilhelmshaven mission in which Lieut. Brennan participated on Jan. 27: “ ‘Jenny’ was holding her tight formation position, exactly lined up with the other Liberators following the flying fortresses. All together, this pattern of Liberators afforded mass gunfire coverages against German fighters—a huge platform from. which several guns could be brought to bear regardless of where the German pilots tried their ‘javelin thrust.’
Control Cables Frayed
“Before first pilot Lieut. James W. Kahl, Winona, Minn., and his co-pilot Lieut. Thomas E. Scrivener, Lindsay, Cal.,, had ended their evasive action tactics and given bombardier Brennan, of Indianapolis, a chance to line up the pinpoint target in his bombsight, ‘Jenny’ suddenly gave a violent shudder that knocked some of the crew off their feet. “An enemy cannon shell had exploded between the bomb-bay doors and the fuselage, slashing the hydraulic system in one of the auxiliary gasoline tanks and fraying the control cables until: they were little more than cobwebs. More important to all, the shell had put the bomb-bay mechanism .out of commission. “The doors had been opened just before the shell hit and the bottom of the ship was open for the free drop of ‘Jenny's’ bombs. Brennan salvoed the entire load as soon as he had lined up the target. What ‘they had come to do had been accomplished but now Kah! afid his teammates were faced with survival, “The ship was flying crazily tom her wounds and to make it worse the bomh-bay doors could not be pulled down from the

back into positions over the hottom of the catwalk. They dangled wildly along the fuselage, giving ‘Jenny’ a bad drag and adding to the possibility that she would be-

Risks Life on Catwalk
“Meanwhile, "Tech. Sergt. Chan- 2 ing N. Satterfield, -Detroit, Jenny's) : radioman, was risking his life out §
on the unprotected catwalk as he balanced himself with nothing but a narrow steel beam between him and the earth, 20,000 or 25,000 feet below. Messerschmitts and FockeWulfs were pouring lead into the Liberators, including ‘Jenny,’ and
