Born in Richmond

Mr. Marmon was born in Richmond of Quaker parents, Daniel W. and Elizabeth C. Marmon. His father was asociated with the late Addison Nordyke in the manufacture of flour mill machinery. The Indianapolis firm was known as Nordyke & Marmon, Inc. The Marmon family came to Indianapolis when Howard was 2 years old. Here, he attended Shortridge high school, went to Earlham from 1892 to 1894 and then transferred to the University of California, where he received his mechanical engineering degree in "98. On his return to Indianapolis, he became associated with his father in the flour mill business which grew into the automotive business.

Firm’s Designer

His brother, Walter C. Marmon, who died in 1941, eventually became president of the motorcar company and Howard became the designer and managed the company’s mechanical department. That association lasted until the company went out of business in 1936. It was then that Walter Marmon transferred his attention to the Marmon-Herring-ton Co. of which he owneg a half interest. Howard Marmon served two terms as the president of the American

From the standpoint of entrated destruction, the raid on Paris may have been the heaviest American attack ever .made, although forces of slightly more than 100 fortresses and Liberaters have

sometimes made raids both from

England and Africa. : Returning fortress bombardiers said the Paris raid was “the sweetest bombing yet.” They believed some of their explosives went squarely down smokestacks. Visibility was perfect. Going in they flew almost over the city’s center, seeing plainly the Eiffel tower. The Germans tried a new technique in an attempt to down the big B-17's. On their way home they were intercepted by some German Focke-Wulf fighters which came down to within 100 feet of the fortress formation and dropped small bombs. It was not revealed whether this resulted in any of the four losses suffered by the Americans.

Informed Sources Say

“Action Depends on WLB Action.

WASHINGTON, April 5 (U. P.).— If the war labor board carries out its reported plan to assume jurisdiction in the bituminous coal dispute, John L. Lewis is expected today by well-informed sources to call his 450,000 union miners out on strike. These sources believe that Lewis would pounce upon such action as an excuse for calling a strike in his wage dispute with soft coal operators, He is almost certain to consider assumption of jurisdiction by: the WLB on its own motion as a’ violation of the joint agreement with operators to continue work this month during negotiations. The United Mine Workers contract expired March 31. Behind the scenes in this latest twist to an already complicated controversy is shaping up a first class intra-governmental ' squabble between the WLB and the labor department's conciliation service. The United Press has learned: from unimpeachable sources that the WLB has debated for a week whether to remove mediation authgmity from Conciliation Director. Ji R. Steelman by taking over | case. Ordinarily cases are referred to the WLB ‘only by Labor Secretary Frances Perkins.

production slumps off and contine ues low until late November. The shortage in experienced dairy labor and in materials, Mr. Thomasson pointed out, are contributing tactors. Another official pointed out that there were about 2600 dairy farms producing grade A milk for the Indianapolis market a year ago. That number has already been ree duced by 200 and continues to dee crease. Mr. Thomasson said that the lowering of standards for grade A milk will increase the supply of grade A bottled milk but will be ree ducing the manufactured milk supe ply (that for cheese, butter, etc), and “merely create a vicious circle.” Says Standards Lowered

“standards have already been lowered in Indiana communities that had high standards and may be lowered still further,” he said. “Too many communities have never had any standards to lower. “With labor scarce and materials inadequate, we will have to do the best we can. Certain unscrupulous interests will continue to take advantage of these conditions for their own benefit—such as sabotaging pube lic health standards, adding water
