A sudden spurt or slow down by a plane can make a swooping opponent miss, particularly if he’s coming in from an angle.” And. the change can be made without “telegraphing” it to the enemy as would be done by a shift, no matter how quick, in rudder or elevator. Germany's “back seat driver” plane is the invention of Claude Dornier, well-known for a couple of decades as a bold and unconventional designer of aircraft. He applied for a U. S. patent before this country became involved in the war. The patent, however, was not granted until last January —when it was, of course, immediately taken over by the alien property custodian.

ASK WLB ORDER

ON MINE WAGES

Southern Operators Lead Move to Have Govern-

ment Break Deadlock.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, April 7.—The government will bé petitioned today to assume full responsibility for settling the wage issue over which the United Mine Workers and the bituminous coal operators have been negotiating here since March 10 with not one step of progress. The southern group of operators will formally ask the national war labor board to take charge of the wage controversy, while offering to continue conferences.on union demands that do not involve pay rates. The northern group may take essentially similar action. The operators’ move would be headed off if .Dr. John R. Steelman, director of the labor department’s conciliation service, would recommend certification of the dispute to the NWLB.

Lewis Opposes WLB

A The step is opposed by John L. Lewis, president of the U. M. W. He has condemned the NWLB and its chairman, William H. Davis, and last week he was backstage when the NWLB’s only miner member, Thomas Kennedy, resigned. The operators’ move, which may pe joined in by the anthracite spokesmen also meeting the union here in the three-ring proceeding, will put it up to Washington to decide whether it wants to go to the mat immediately with Mr. Lewis in a controversy that involves (1) a breakdown of national antiinflationary policies and (2) the possibility of a great coal strike interrupting war production.

' Demand Action

While the northern operators pursued their usual reticence, former Senator Edward R. Burke, spokesman for the southern group, said that if Dr. Steelman didn’t take the bull by the horns today and consign the wage dispute to the NWLB, the industry sector he represents will make the formal representation.

COUNTY MIDWAY IN LOAN DRIVE

C. S. Young Addresses Workers at Luncheon

Here.

Although the second war loan drive doesn’t open officially until next Monday, Marion county already has reached the half-way mark in its drive to meet its quota of $34,000,000 in the biggest war financing drive in the nation’s history. : ! This was reported at a meeting of drive workers at the Columbia club yesterday at which C. S. Young, president of the Federal Reserve bank of Chicago and chairman of the seventh district in the big drive, was the principal speaker. Mr. Young told the bankers and other businessmen assembled "at the luncheon that he had already told treasury officials in Washington that he was hopeful that Indiana would be the first state in this federal reserve district and in the nation to go over the top in the drive for $13,000,000,000—approximately $100 for, each man, woman and child in the U. S. The state’s quota in the drive is $125,000,000.

All Must Help

Mr. Young. told the workers that not only great national effort but also great national restraint would be required to achieve the 13 billion dollar goal. “Tt will require effort on the part of every volunteer worker to sell the securities being offered, and restraint on the part of every person to forego the purchasing of things he might want but can do without,” he said. “In the words of the president of the United States: ‘Victory cannot be bought with any amount of money, however large: victory is achieved with the blood of soldiers, the sweat of the working men and women and the sacrifices of all the people.” Banks Have Opportunity

Mr. Young declared that the second war loan drive presents the banks with an opportunity to ren-| der a patriotic service in the home front battle against inflation. Under existing legislation, he said, about one-third of government expenditures are being met through taxation, and if the president's request for 16 billion dollars in additional taxes is met, this proportion will be raised to only one-half. The remainder must come from other sources pointed out. The federal reserve ba. dent said that after mi allowance for taxes and can be purchased there something like 40 billions available for investment from current income of the American people in the next year.

‘Change’ Won't Work

“These funds should be mobilized for the national good as well as for the self-interest of workers wishing to protect the purchasing power of their wages. If loose dollars are not collared and harnessed to the war program, they may easily contribute to inflation a rising spiral of living and commodity prices,” Mr. Young said. He quoted Secretary Morgenthau’s statement that “this is not a token war which can be won with spare change.” “The government,” he said, “does not want inflation. It wants the average man’s dollar after the war still to be worth a dollar by present standards, so if the use of money to win the war. is also going to win for us a prosperous and stable peace then, we, the American people, all of us have got to forego every possible thing during the war period itself and wait to spend our surplus cash when our industries can return to peacetime production.” : William C. Griffith served as luncheon chairman.

Body of 4-Year-Old Pittsburgh Girl Found in

Cellar Grave.

PITTSBURGH, April 7 (U. P.)— The almost nude body of 4-year-old blond, curly-headed Theresa Williams was found by her father today in a shallow grave, dug by the alleged murderer in the. cellar of his home. Shortly after the discovery, Earl Perry, 17, was arrested and confessed, police said, that he strangled and attacked the little girl, after luring her to his home with a candy bar and a penny. Young Perry, whois the son of Nicholas Perry, owner of a valet shop, was questioned by police who discovered small scratches on his face, indicating how the little girl fought for her life. “I bought two packages of cigarets and some candy bars and went home and when I saw Theresa I offered her a candy bar. She came into the house and I took her down the cellar. “After I strangled her, I put her in an old plush chair. I dug the hole, got her into it, covered her with dirt and then tramped down the ground with my feet.”

Leaders’ Talks With Hitler, Mussolini Add to The Mystery.

By PAUL GHALI

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. BERN, April 7—The future development of the Balkan situation, following the talks of King Boris of Bulgaria with Hitler and Hungarian Premier Nicholas von Kallay with Mussolini, remains one of Europe's . biggest riddles on which subsequent events have thrown comparatively little light. There is little doubt that both Hitler and his fascist partner are trying to organize Europe's southeastern defenses at minimum cost to their own much-occupied forces by relying largely on their Balkan satellites. A report reaching here from a reliable Balkan source indicates that Rumania’s vice-premier, Michael Antonescu, also is expected

shortly in Rome to pay his court to the axis junior partner.

Boris Is Cautious

Competent Bulgarian circles here, who have displayed relatively little excitement over their king's visit to the Nazi boss hs they had hal expected it, are anxious to repel any idea that Boris may have agreed to send troops to the Ruse sion front. in | Boris, they insist, knows toa well that any such move would jeopard=ize his throne which he is deters mined to keep as long as possible. * Furthermore, the king, who has. /® already lived through two catastrophic wars for his country, does not intend to launch Bulgaria into a new war unless directly attacked. Consequently, Boris also has refused to participate in any preven= tive axis action against Turkey, Bulgaria's traditional threatening rival, Bulgarians here believe. Wants Bulgaria to Fight In the opinion of most Balkan observers here, Boris was summoned to Hitler's presence mainly to be asked Bulgaria's attitude in event of an allied landing in the Balkans, combined or not with a Turkish attack on Bulgaria. In such event, the Nazis’ desire is clear. They want Bulgaria to enter the war considering itself attacked by an allied landing in the Balkans even if it occurs on the Dalamatian or Greek coasts, miles away from Bulgarian territory. Bulgarians here are inclined to believe that such demands may have been accepted although Boris would have much preferred to limitX his country’s commitments to thé eventuality of a direct attack on Bulgaria itself.
