SEE VICTORY IN EUROPE BY 1944

Allies Have Little Chance To Finish Germany This Year, Experts Say.

LONDON, May 3 (U. P.).—Allied observers here in a position to know] ggreed today with Gen. Henri) Honore Giraud that the Eurcpean| war will end in ah allied victory in| 1044. |

They were willing to concedej that there is a possibility of the| European campaign reaching a climax by autumn, but almost uni-j versally believed that there is not) § & chance that it can be concluded this year.

CITY ‘DAMAGED BY FIRST ‘RAID’

OCD Officials Renew Plea For Volunteers in Defense Work.

Considerable “damage” was inflicted on Indianapolis yesterday as the city underwent its first “air raid” of the war that left several sections of the town enveloped in “flames,” three war plants rocked by “explosions” and “injured” approxi-

mately 125 persons. Whistles and sirens sounding at] 2:30 p. m. indicated the approach | of “enemy” planes and shortly after | 50 bombers made their run over targets dropping incendiary, gas and demolition hombs. The test for the volunteer civilian defense workers was on and they swung into action immediately as the mock air raid blossomed over the city. The planes were piloted by members of the Indiana wing of the civilian air patrol.

The first plane over Speedway City in yesterday's mock air raid scored three direct hits upon the office of civilian defense control center. Floyd Farley, city director, reported the center “out of commission” when Supervisor Robert O'Neill made his inspeection. A total of 53 bombs were dropped on the city.

During the hour and 40-minute raid cardboard mailing tube bombs showered the city. War plants suffering hits were the Curtiss-Wright Corp., the Marmon-Herrington Co., Inc., and the Lukas-Harold Corp. maker of the famed Norden bombsight. Plant guards went into action to combat the “menace.” Several direct hits were scored in the downtown area and calls flooded | the control center from residential areas as every part of town was struck. i As calls poured into the center, emergency ambulances and drivers darted about the city.

civilian defense, said, great demonstration of the ability of our organizaiton to swing into action quickly. “But it also served to show the dangers we face from the lack of full divisions. Due to the shortage of trained auxiliary firemen and policemen a large number of fires would have gotten out of control. “lI renew the appeal for 5000 ad-

Henley, liasion officer of the 5th service command; believes “that Indianapolis civilian defense is fast approaching 100 per cent efficiency. “I am glad to know that subcontrol centers are being established to assist the main center in event of a sustained raid,” he said.

POST-WAR PLAN OUTLINED HERE

Local Businessman Issues Pamphlet on Axis

Surrender.

Nobody knows when the war will end. But everybody knows it must, some day, and Arthur R. Baxter, Indianapolis businessman, civic leader and philanthropist, thinks we should be prepared for it. He has written and published a pamphlet, distributed this week, in which he offers his suggestions for the terms of the surrender proclamation which the allies should demand of Germary. Mr. Baxter describes it as “a contribution to public opinion,” and he believes that several of his ideas are new, .and never before offered in print.

Wants Germany Eliminated

One, for instance, is that “Germany shall cease to exist. In its place there is hereby erected four new nations comprising the territory known as Germany.” Another suggestion which Mr. Baxter believes new is that of waiving any claim for reparations or damages. Instead “there shall be a sales tax levied on all transactions within the new states of 10 per cent which shall be paid to the united nations. This tax shall not be altered by any law of the new states and shall be additional to any local taxes. and shall continue in effect until reduced or abolished by order of the united nations.

1000 Pamphlets Out

Ti peace-hungry readers, seeing the gestions in black and white makes the allied victory seem much closer. Mr. Baxter has distributed pamphlets both here and in other cities, and he’s receiving much favorable comment already. He prefaces his proclamation with the reply which the military commander of the united nations should make to the “peace feelers” Hitler will put out “ere long.” “No armistice will be granted.” the generals reply should be, Mr. | Baxter states. “My térms are unconditional surrender.”

Terms of this surrender in-

| clude deliverance, as prisoners of

war of Hitler, Goering, Goebbels, Himmler and others; cessation of all land, sea and air resistance; surrender of all implements of war.

Asks U-Boats, Planes

Then, writes Mr. Baxter: “When the commanding general receives a written acceptance of his communication, and after he is assured of a substantial com-

| pliance with its terms, say by the | delivery of 300 u-boats, 3000 latest

design airplanes, etc, he will then march a sufficient army to Berlin. “With the crack allied regiments stationed in all parts of Berlin, the proclamation of unconditional surrender of Germany will be read from the balcony of the government house.” Mr. Baxter suggests that a gov-

ernor general for each of the new! nations replacing Germany be ap-|

pointed by the united nations. The prisoners of war will be tried before “just tribunals” . . . Germany should deliver to the high command every plane, every warship, every gun, cannon, tank, truck, every item of ammunition, every war plant or factory.

Wants Nation Stripped

Railroads, main highways, stations, communication lines,

ery property right and right of

every kind at present belonging to| would be|

or owned by Germany” delivered also, besides colonies and other territories. “It is hereby declared,” the proelamation states. “that Germany has been a disturber of the peace since the days of Caesar . . . it is the purpose of the united nations to utterly eliminate this dangerous member of the society of nations and permanently render it impotent to threaten the peace of the world hereafter.” Elections in the four new nations, reasons for the surrender terms, and the advantages of such terms also are described by Mr. Baxter. Because he believes some of his ideas now, and many of them worth-while, Mr. Baxter had his pamphlet published, he explains. “If regarded as worth-while, use it freely,” he states on 0 She Saye cover,

POLES CELEBRATE CONSTITUTION DAY

By UNITED PRESS Poles throughout the world—in a Nazi-occupied homeland, in exile and in Polish forces fighting the axis overseas—celebrated today the 152d anniversary of Poland's na-

tional constitution of May 3, 1791. Celebrations were overshadowed by the breach in relations between Russia and the Polish exile cabinet in London which the United States and Great Britain were seeking to heal. In Poland, ruled for more than three and one-half years by the] Germans, celebrations had to be| held in clandestine underground | meetings. Abroad the day was observed as a

national event by 200,000 members of Polish forces in Great Britain and the Near East, and by tens of thousands of Polish refugees who escaped (o India, Persia, Africa and other countries. The Polish constitution, signed by'|
