Pantelleria, bombarded six times from the sea and daily

. from the air, already was regarded

as a “lost sentry post,” Madrid said. The Sunday dispatch editorially called on the allies to drop leaflets on Italy urging the people to lay down their arms and added:

Five Armies Poised “To, give -the necessary - conviction to this: warning, we could by one sharp ‘raid shatter the. fantastic immunity which Rome has enjoyed. . . .

As Miners

publicly acknowledged only a request of . Solid. Fuels Administrator Harold L. Ickes, custodian of the government-seized mines. While .the negotiations continue, miners will work under their 1941-43 wage contract with the concessions already granted by the WLB. Those concessions raised vacation allowances from $20 to $50 a year and required the" operators to assume minor charges traditionally borne by the miners.

Scan Ickes Formula

Observers believed prospects of agreement hinged upon a formula proposed by Ickes last week to settle the union's portal-tq-portal pay demand, the basic issue in dispute. Ickes suggested temporary agree-

{ment portal-to-portal pay while a

bipartisan commission investigated to determine the average miner's underground travel time.

Last week's work stoppage ‘came when the operators rejected the union proposal for temporary agreement on $1.50 daily for portal-to-portal pay. The operators objected that they did not want continuing retroactive wage liabilities to accrue. Any final wage concessions will be retroactive to April 1.. Operators have ' shown considerable concern over that retroactive obligation and

"(Continued from Page One)

some expressed hope that it. would not be paid in a lump sum but spread over the balance of the wage contract period. If the union accepted that proposal, ‘the operators might ask the office of price administration for a price increase sufficient to cover the retroactive payments. New Complication

A new complication may arise this week ‘because of a condition imposed by the war labor board May 25 when it ordered portal-to-portal negotiations resumed. The board ordered the parties to report back by June 9 and submit still unsettled issues to the .board for final disposition. Any WLB move to intervene undoubtedly would be ignored by Lewis, who was persistently refused to deal with the board. The board probably would order bargaining continued, however, if the operators reported an agreement was imminent.

party leaders last week when it was revealed that big-time gam; bling casinos were flourishing in the county. Police Chief Clifford Beeker said: “If the sheriff's office needs any help in curbing gambling, our department will be glad to provide it, otherwise we have plenty to do in the city.” Mayor Tyndall, with whom Sher-

last week, also chimed in and offered his assistance. “The two of us are in perfect accord,” he said.

Welcomed by Tyndall

Earlier Sheriff Petit had said his men would “watch law violations in the city, too.” Welcoming this, Mayor Tyndall said “anything the sheriff wants to do to help me, I'll appreciate it.” Prosecutor Sherwood Blue, center of law enforcement feuds with the city administration for several months, added his pledge of cooperation to stamp out gambling but he confined his sympathies to the sheriff's office. “My office will give the sheriff all the help in the world. in his anti-gambling campaign . . . we will be happy to help,” said Mr. Blue. The possibility that city police legally can extend their operations outside the city limits has been suggested as the result of the Terre

in Vigo county during the week-end. Don F. Stiver, superintendent -of the state police, described the ac-

police as “entirely legal.”

ment of any Indiana city with an anti-gambling ordinance has the authority to raid gaming halls located within four miles of the city limits. Mayor Tyndall was careful about getting too far out on a limb on this legal question and said he would not comment on it until he had “an opportunity to study the law.” Offer to ‘Co-operate’

He referred the matter to Sidney S. Miller, city corporation counsel, who said he would issue a legal opinion later today on the extent of city police operations outside the ‘city if any. Meanwhile, city officials merely offered to “co-operate” with the sheriff outside the city limits. Otto Ray, the former Democratic

investigator, has been staying in the background’ during the gambling rumpus, but came out yesterday and announced he “had nothing to do) with the gambling situation.” “Whatever the sheriff wants to do is all right with me,” sald Mr. Ray. Sheriff Petit explained the former sheriff had been working exclusively

F. probably will lash out in a series of attacks rivalling and perhaps exceeding the record 2000ton raid on und last month, possibly attacking two or more cities on the same night. Despite the interruption in the night offensive, the R. A.

NAVY PATROL SINKS SUB WITH 4 BOMBS

Urges Freedom

Dr, Stewart told the graduates that one of their greatest problems was to devise a method of solving the problems of .mankind without first destroying him. “Your struggle will be an unselfish effort in which men must learn to work together not only as individuals, but as groups and ‘interests’ as well,” he said. He urged the retention of “that

dividual initiative and satisfaction while man’s collective power furnishes material abundance to:all the. Sd peoples of the world.” Commending America for its stand in the world as the nation providing the widest opportunity of education for its people, Dr. Stewart stated that free education was one of the many opportunities most sought by the peoples of other lands. . As a liaison officer between col-

'|leges and the joint army and navy

education committee, Dr, Stewart expressed the hope that- colleges and universities which are being utilized in the army-navy war train« ing program will not sell their heritage “for a mess of pottage and sub« mit to any material abridgment of their responsibilities in return for a larger share of the federal pa« tronage.” Army Uses Colleges Of the nation’s 1650 colleges, 500 are being used by the army and navy. The remaining 1150 schools, the speaker pointed out, will be forced to adjust their operations within the limits of their resources for those students who can attend classes. This will call for curtails ment and consolidation of activitiess and should result in fewer and’ stronger institutions, Dr, Stewart said. Although the nation is now absorbed in training for war, the problem of the future will be education for peace. The latter must remain free from the dealings and the beneficence of the federal govern-

ment, Dr. Stewart stated.

FOR MAKING MORE than 50 hazardous flights within a few miles of enemy bases, two Indianapolis men tdoay are wearing the distinguished flying cross. They are 1st Lt. Bernard Cederholm, son of Bernard Cederholm, 320 N. Summit ave., and Cpl Warden M. Eastus, 42 W. 11th st. The awards were made for action in the Southwest Pacific area when -the honored men made flights in transport planes, flying at low altitudes over mountainous terrain and under adverse weather conditions. Their dufies included dropping supplies to advanced. outposts, transporting troops and equipment to forward areas and evacuating wounded personnel. Mr. Cederholm received a letter last week from Lt. Gen, | Kenney, air force commander in that area, telling of Lt. Cederholm’s activities. Lf. Cederholm was sent overseas in January, 1942, and is now in New Guinea. He enlisted when a senior at Indiana | university in November, 1940, and | was graduated from Kelly field, Tex, in July, 1941. He was in the transport service, making a few | trips to Panama, until he went | overseas.
