that some of the cases were not serious. And none of these cases was foreign-inspired—merely U. S. citizens who failed to appreciate their heritage. Right now, Indiana agents are looking for 1000 violators of the selective service act. The violators are- men who registered for the draft and then conveniently “disappeared,” men who “forget” carry their draft cards, and others: who just didn’t get around to report for induction.

The American-built Kittyhawks struck the transports in a battle that lasted only five or 10 minutes, but ended with every transport shot down and most of them flaming on the -water. Nazi soldiers en route to Tunis to reinforce Marshal Erwin Rommel could be seen struggling in the water amid burning ‘gasoline. The big planes, lumbering southward to Tunis, were seen to crash after being attacked by the allied fighter pilots, who said that they saw dozens of soldiers tumble into the water. This was regarded as definite proof that Rommel still was _ rushing reinforcements as well as supplies to his hard-pressed Tunisfan armies. It was believed that some personnel, not needed in the final siege battle, had been evacuated from Tunisia earlier. Pilots said that the Me-323 transports also appeared to be carrying _gasoline which is needed by Rom.mel’s tanks. The planes were flying’ only 50 Joes from the water in tight formaon.

A Glider With’ Motors

The Me-323 is a giant-high-winged double-decker monoplane with a 180-foot wing, spread. It -{s a development of the Merseburg glider, with the chief change being the addition of six French GnomeRhone engines. It can carry 120 fully equipped soldiers or about 14 tons of freight. +The largest aircraft used in this

war and twice as large as an Amer-|,

ican flying ‘fortress, the. carrying capacity of the ME-323 is equal to that of'five of the Nazis’ big Junkers 52 transports.. Its top speed is only 160 miles per hour and loaded it barely goes 100; allied fliers therefore find it an easy target.

33 Axis Tanks Smashed

Although the smashing of the air transports was the most spectacular development disclosed in today’s communique from headquarters of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, it also was disclosed that the axis lost 33 (instead of 27) tanks and many men in the Medjez El Bab sector Tuesday night. Forty-five mines eastward on the coastal sector, the 8th army still was meeting — and repulsing—bloody counter-attacks in the mountains after having advanced about six miles in all northward from its original starting point on the Enfidaville line.

attending religious worship wherever possible.” Thousands of Catholics were ex-

pected to participate in the outdoor “Way of the Cross” devotions from 2:15 to 3 p. m., open fo the public at the World War Memorial -Plaza. The procession around the 14 large crosses, or “stations,” were to be led by the Rev. Cornelius Sweeney, chaplain of the Knights of Columbus. A recitation of prayers for the stations will be given from the north esplanade by the Rev. Thomas J. Fennernan, and music was to be by the Schola Cantorum of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral and the boys’ choir of St. Philip Neri church. From noon to 3 p. m. there were services at the English theater

ERROR FOUND IN NEW SCHOOL LAW

Another error by the 1943 legislature turned up today in the law proyiding for the appointment of a state school attendance officer at a salary of $3200 annually. In looking over the new law, Herbert Kenney, director of the legislative reference. bureau, discovered that, while the law provides for the appointment of the attendance offi cer by the state school attendance board, the provision for the creation of the board had been repealed. Thus, it provides for the appointment by a board that doesn’t exist. As the bill was originally introduced, the appointment was to be made by the superintendent of public instruction, but. this provision was amended later to provide that the appointment should be made. by

the attendance board which under|

the old law was the state board of education. ; It was presumed that an attorney general's opinion would be requested to determine whether the srror had nullified the entire law.

and First Baptist church og the theme “The Contemporary Meaning of the Cross.”

At English’s, ministers will be the Revs, ‘E. Robert" Andry, Dr.. George P. Howard and George. A. Frantz. At First Baptist church, sermons will be given by the Rev. Dr. Howard and the Revs. John Hall and Harry K. Zeller,

“The Blessing of the Cross” will be the sermon at Keith's theater, where Lutheran services were held from 12:15 to 12:50 p. m. The Rev. Dr. O. P. Kretzmann, president of Valparaiso college, will officiate.

Also attended by downtown crowds were services at 7:30 a. m. and from noon to 3 p. m. at Christ Episcopal church, on the Circle, the Rev. E. Ainger Powell officiating. Others downtown: First United Lutheran church, St. John’s Catholic church, Wheeler City Rescue Mission, Roberts Park Methodist church, St. Paul's Episcopal church, and the Salvation Army citadel. Churches in residential districts also will conduct services. Seven Good Friday services were to be held between 12 and 3 p. m. today in- Mary Hanson Carey Memorial chapel of the Methodist hospital. Dr. W. C. Hartinger, hospital minister; Bishop Titus Lowe, president of the board of trustees! and Dr. John G. Benson, superintendent, each had charge of two periods. Student nurses provided special musical numbers.

It was a meatless menu yesterday noon and the boys ate baked beans, creamed onions, cabbage, cornbread, blueberry pie, and coffee. In the headquarters’ mess hall in which 'I ate we had an added bowl of celery soup... It was made from celery left over from a previous meal. The plate scrapings were heavier yesterday because they don’t eat baked beans the way they do meat. But I still didn’t think the plate scrapings high. In one case there was nothing but scrapings in one garbage can. It contained about 10 pounds of remnants from breakfast and dinner for about 100 men. That's a little more than one-half an ounce per man per meal.

To Warm Over Beans \

Following the inspection of garbage cans, Sgt. Corbett took me back into the kitchen of the headquarters’ mess where I ate. He showed me the. food unserved at dinner. “The baked beans we'll either wash and use in salads or we'll reheat them and give them out to the men,” he said. z “The celery. soup left over (and there wasn’t much) will be thrown out. . . . After all, that’s the second time that celery has been served. + . . The cabbage will be served to the men tonight as extra portions for those who wish it.” Then he took me into the refrigerating room. He showed me Swiss steak left over from a previous meal. It will be ground. up into a meat loaf later. There were jars partially filled with peaches, beets and other vegetables. They, too, will be reserved. ‘There were. plates of bologna# and: lunch meats left over. They'll be used in sandwiches.! If they're wasting good food out there while you and I are having the brakes applied .to our appetites, I certainly didn’t see it.

doing, he put out a garden. There

was one in 1898 during the Span-ish-American war and one during world war I. There was even a time when he and his wife, now ill, ran a successful greenhouse in Zionsville. Mrs. Williamson has always shared his gardening hobby. Mr. and Mrs. Williamson live on what is a tiny fruit farm with their daughter, Mrs. Bert Mundy, and Mr. Mundy. Mr. Williamson still pushes an old plow that was new and shiny way back around. the 1870's. “He's active enough to wear out younger men at his work,” said his daughter. “He makes his own grape cuttings and grows and sells.grapes. He keeps up the berry patches and has a patch of 500 strawberry plants which he takes care of all by himself.” , Mr. Wililamson helps keep things “flowery” - about the house, too. Tere is a grape arbor in the yard, window boxes, a feeding box for birds and plants setting in the windows of the house.

‘Of course, the latter come within Mrs. Mundy’'s province. But the daughter, too, likes growing and preserving her own food. What Mr. Williamson grows in the garden she cans and her storage cellar is still filled with last year’s canned goods. Mr. Williamson recently put out a lot more fruit trees. And he’s sure he’s going to be around to tend them and watch them grow into big, fruit-producing trees. There probably won't be any celebration when he reaches his 98th birthday. Mr. Williamson wants to wait until he’s a 100. Anyway, he hasn't time to worry about that now. He’s disturbed that weather conditions this season delayed his planting a. month. sm immmm————— ee
