‘FAILED TO SET

NEEDS.’ HE SAYS

Low Estimate an Honest:

* Mistake, WPB Ghief Tells Committee. WASHINGTON, April 27 (U. P).

~War Production Chairman ‘Donald. M. Nelson today blamed the cur-

rent aviation gasoline shortage on]:

the army's failure to anticipate its requirements fully and the North African invasion’s disruptive effect on production schedules.

* Mr. Nelson was the first witness]:

at a Truman committee hearing into army charges that production

of high octane gasoline had been %

retarded because the synthetic rub-

ber program was given too high 3

priorities. He said he believed the army's failure to estimate its gasoline needs “at anywhere near the requirements” was an honest failure. And

he said the need for shifting pro-| &

duction schedules to provide mate-

rials for the North African invasion| :

was unavoidable. Shortage in Reserves

Mr, Nelson said production of aviation gasoline exceeds -consumption, but there is a shortage in reserve supplies. “And there are going to be continuing shortages for some time, ” he added. * Mr. Nelson said the Baruch report placed the dangerous low for the rubber stockpile at 200,000 tons for the united nations. He said that below that figure, “we would be in a bankrupt position which would be ois 4 «1 think we are going to come close to the bankruptcy mark in the next few months,” he said, “but that we won’t reach the low if we produce the scheduled 150,000 tons - this year.” Under questioning by Committee Chairman Harry S. Truman D. Mo.) he placed most of the emphasis on the army's low estimates early in 1941. Truman asked Nelson whether he had any trouble in getting the army to set up a stockpile of high octane gasoline, first suggested in 1940, and finally started in "April, 1941.

«Clash of Personalities’

“No real trouble,” Nelson replied. «I believe it was an honest failure to estimate gasoline needs at anywhere near what the requirements finally proved to be.” He said the controversy between Rubber Director William M. Jeffers and Petroleum Administrator Harold L. Ickes was due in large part “to a clash of personalities.” _ Nelson said his whole rubber priorities program is in line with a presidential directive based of the Baruch report of winimum requirements.” © “We ought to produce only the amount of rubber that is vital to the war economy of our country and our allies, and to the most essential civilian activities,” he said. %Any production over that would be detrimental to the war program.” Protests Controversy Nelson appeared before the senate committee at a public hearing into protests by Undersecretary of War Robert P. Patterson and Secretary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes that high priorities granted the synthetic rubber program has created a shortage of aviation gasoline that threatens to ground some combat and training planes. Ickes, Patterson, Rubber Director Jeffers and Undersecretary of the Navy James V. Forrestal also are scheduled to appear before the committee this week. . Nelson opened his testimony with a protest against the fact that the dispute had been made a subject of publie controversy instead of being settled through established procedure within the war production board. - Ickes Wants Headlines “War time is no time for airing personal grievances or public popularity contests,” he told the committee. “Our only job is to beat the

Corn Should Be No. 3 Crop For Large Victory Garden

With the hardy vegetable crops peeping through the ground and warmer weather on its way, victory gardeners should be prepared to

plant a few of the tender vegetables.

This is the first in a series of

articles on vegetables that should be planted from May 1 to May 15. It is suggested that you clip and save each installment for future use.

Corn should be the “No. 3” vegetable for Indianapolis victory gar-

deners with plenty of space.

Its popularity is exceeded only by the

tomato and the bean. Corn, especially the yellow hybrids, ranks near the top in nutritive value and offers a good supply of vitamins. Being a hot weather lover, sweet corn should not be planted before May 1 in Central Indiana. In most sections of Indiana the last plant-

ings may be made as late as July 10. A. A. Irwin, assistant Marion county agricultural agent, suggests a first planting of three varieties of sweet corn—the Seneca 60, Marcross C-13 and Golden Cross Bantam. These will ripen in the order named and this planting can be followed at three-week intervals by a second and third planting of Golden Cross Bantam and Country Gentleman,

Should Plant Two Rows

Two rows of sweet corn should be planted side by side for pollination. The rows should be 24 inches apart. If the seed -is drilled, each seed should be about 12 inches from its neighbor and placed an inch below the garden soil level. If planting in hills, plant two stalks per hill. The size of the May planting will depend on plans for canning and freezing. Two to four or even five plantings may be made to insure a good supply of corn all summer long for table use and a sufficient quantity for canning or quick freezing. From 65 to 75 days’ time are required for maturity from seed.

One-half pound of corn will plant 100 feet of row and should produce an average of one and one-half big ears per stalk. Two 50-foot rows can be expected to fill' from 30 to 40 pint cans, if all the ears are used for canning purposes. Onehundred. feet of row is recommended for table use and 10 pints for canning for each individual. A partial control for. the corn ear worm, which attacks the corn, is found in a- dust mixture containing equal parts of lead arsenate and dusting ' sulphur. ‘Dust the silks weekly as soon as they appear on the tips of the rapidly developing ears. To combat the corn borer, which made its first appearance in Marion county last year, use rotenone. Kentucky Wonder pole beans can be planted at the hase of the corn stalks when the stalks are about six inches high. The corn stalks will provide a: ready-made trellis or

“bean pole. ”»

JAPS REPULSED IN BURMA PUSH

MacArthur’s Bombers Blast |

Enemy Bases in Island Encirclement.

By UNITED PRESS « The British reported today the repulse of a Japanese attempt to dislodge their forces in Burma, while in the southwest Pacific allied planes softened up Japanese positions for ground patrols harassing enemy outposts up the North New Guinea coast.

“Considerable casualties” were inflicked on the Japanese in throwing back their attack-against a position south of Buthidaung, in the Burma Arakan sector, a New Delhi announcement said, and British aircraft continued slamming away at the invaders’ strongpoints. Two passes by allied planes supporting ground troops battered a Japanese entrenchment near Mubo, only 10 miles from Salamaua, the Japanese New Guinea coastal base, yesterday. The ground actign apparently was limited:

While Gen. Douglas MacArthur’sj

bombers kept pounding away at Japanese outposts in the island arc north of Australia, allied military observers believed the urgent threat of a Japanese attack may have subsided somewhat, possibly as result of punishing defeats suffered in their first strong feeler air attacks. A Chinese communique said the Japanese had thrown planes into their fight for the Chinese stronghold - at Linhsien in the Taihang mountains on the Honan-Shansi border and ground fighting was continuing with both sides suffering heavy losses. In the Chekiang sector, Chinese troops made a heavy raid on Wuyi, southeast of Kinhwa on April 17.

Amount oversubscribed... 1,924,193 ; veeeee. 40,000,000 : 4,105,807 (Five days left in drive)

What does a city like Indianapolis do when it overshoots a war bond quota that means more] tanks, more guns and more planes for our fighting men? It raises its goal—and tries to over-subscribe the over-subscription. Today the city is nearly $2,000, - 000 over its second war loan quota of $34,060,000, and although no new official quota has been set, officials have agreed to try for $40,000,000 before the end of the month and the end of the drive. To top that figure, $1,000,000 a day is needed, and co-chairmen William C. Griffith and Robert A. Adams believe it can be obtained because of the tremendous volume of “revenge” bonds which have been bought since the announcement of the murder of American fliers who participated in the raid on Tokyo. / Baseball Dinner Set

Seven luncheon clubs selling bonds in connection with the opening of the baseball season here May 5, have reported a total of more than $250,000 in sales. The clubs will meet baseball players, the mayor and war savings staff officials at a luncheon, May 4, at the Indianapolis Athletic club, when each club will receive an autographed ball. Harry Geisel, retired major league umpire, will be master of ceremonies. At the opening game on the following day, representatives from each of the two luncheon clubs selling the most bonds will toss the first ball as the honorary “proxy” battery in place of the governor and the mayor.

KNOX HINTS POSSIBLE NUISANGE AIR RAIDS

ASHINGTON, April 27 (U. P). I Noa of the Navy Frank Knox said today that there was a possibility of “nuisance” air raids on the East and West coasts, but he added that they were “very remote possibilities.” When he was asked to explain why he thought the chances of such an attack were remote, Knox said that our defenses against such raids had been improved; that we are engaging the enemy elsewhere, and that “he (the Japanese) is already spread out pretty thin.”

“There’s always a chance of al

nuisance raid,” he continued. “There is even a chance the Germans might iry a suicide raid on the East coast, but that is sat is: highly unlikely. »

Heald of near here, has been killed in an girplane crash in the Asiatic war zone, the war department has advised his parents. The 24-year-old ‘flier was the fiance of Miss Margaret Ralney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ina Stanfield, 364 Layman ave., Indianapolis. Miss Rainey is employed by the RCA Manufacturing Co. Inc. Lt. Heald was graduated from the army advanced flight school at Brooks field, Tex., in February, 1942. He served at various air force bases in this country before being sent overseas. He had served little more than a month overseas before the accident, which occurred on April 9. ‘ In addition to. his parents, he is survived by four brothers, one of whom is in service at Camp Grant,

men and their brides. In such cases, there is no limitation on traveling. However, if a question of priorities in travel came up, honeymoons would have to be considered. “Meantime we'd be inclined to be lenient,” one official admitted. “Just like - WPB’s allotment of an ' unlimited amount of material for wedding gowns.

MANIAC AMOK WITH HAMMER

Girls, in

Terrorizes Small Women and Boy Chicago Attacks.

CHICAGO, April 27 (U. P)— Police intensified’ their search today for a small, emaciated man, described as a “dangerous sex maniac,” who terrorized eight small girls, two women and a young boy, threatening them with a dime-store claw hammer and a knife.

Authorities feared another wave of attacks. unless’ police are able to close in on the maniac in the

- | small residential area on the north-

west side, where he continued ‘to bob out of the darkness last night, frighten women and then disappear. Police stations were flooded with calls. “We have a good description of him and expect to capture him soon,” police said. Two of the maniac’s young victims were hospitalized with scalp wounds inflicted by the claw hammer. They are Claudia D’'Angelo, 15, and her sister, Mary, 13, who were home alone when he struck them with his hammer, pushed them into a closet and threatened to kill them if they came out.

Attempts Two Rapings

The terrorist attempted to rape two women victims. On at least two occasions he committed minor robberies, but did not harm a small boy who was alone in the house where he stole $210. Police said the man had been at large in the neighborhood for “a few weeks,” using various ruses to win the confidence of his women victims, who described him as mildmannered and pleasant. He lured two of his victims into a basement yesterday on pretense that he had lost his wallet, and offered to pay the girls if they could find it. All the victims described him as about five feet four inches tall, dark complexioned, about 30 years old and wearing a tan zipper jalket and brown trousers.

Secretary Believes Ban on Dads Might Imperil Victory.

WASHINGTON, April 27 (U, PO) —Secretary of War Henry L. Stim-

hibiting the drafting of pre-Pear Harbor fathers this year may im pede an early end of the war, It

‘was disclosed today.

In a letter to the senate mili tary affairs committee, he said: “Great opportunities are now developing for us ‘to end the war as quickly as possible. In order to take advantage of developing op= portunities to bring the war to & speedy close, it is essential that the carefully planned and co-ordi= nated program of raising nd training an army composed of our best-equipped fighting men be not impeded. » Wheeler Plans ‘Rider’ Lie His letter concerned a “rider” which Senator Burton K. Wheeler (D. Mont.) hopes to attach to bill extending unemployment coms pensation benefits to conscientious objectors. The bill may come up for consideration next week. Stimson said that Wheeler's pros posal would greatly limit the source of necessary men and would “dangerously affect our ultima victory.” More than 8,000,000 men are deferred in the 3-A classificas tion, and of these more than 6 000,000 have one or more children under 18, he revealed. The Wheeler bill raises the quess tfon, he said, whether the war effort can suffer withdrawal of 6000, 000 men from its manpower pool with= out serious impairment. “Plainly it cannot,” he concluded, Stimson said legislation was, ne needed to impress upon the w department the importance of pn serving American homes.

worst to each of our enemies which!

can be done while fighting both.”

Grew, a special assistatdt to Secre- |

tary of State Cordell Hull, spoke at | a program inaugurating the fourth Canadian victory - loan campaign. He emphasized that the various fronts were interdependent and described how much “our success in North Africa already has told against the Japanese, how much the reclamation of the Ukraine would shorten our road to Tokyo, and how well our globe-girdling ring of coun-

ter-pressure has imprisoned the dynamics of Japanese aggression.”
