from the air in addition to all other means.” 2. “The air war will grow in weight and severity.” 3. Complete agreement has been reached by the United States and Britain on the “forward steps” to be taken. 4. May was the best month in the the battle. of the Atlantic since ‘the United States entered the war with U-boat destruction exceeding U-boat ' construction and allied shipping losses dropping to less than one for every three tons built. ; 5. The first week of June, so far as U-boats are concerned has been the best ever.” 6. When Germany loses hope of victory through her submarines, the

Reich may suddenly collapse, but: “do not let us build on such deduc-

tions.” 7. The axis lost 248,000 troops captured and 50,000 killed in Tunisia, and more than half of them were Germans.

Received Ovation

8. The U. S. 2d corps alone captured 37,000 prisoners, 33,000 of them ‘Germans. 7 9. The sentiment of German prisoners captured in Tunisia was like that of prisoners after world war I and after the Battle of Jena, which ended German resistance to Napoleon for several years. 10. The “greatest battles” appear to be impending on the Russian fronty where the Germans have massed 190 Nazi and 28 satellite divisions. The house was so crowded for Churchill’'s address that many members were forced to stand outside the railing. The galleries were packed with prominent persons, including Mrs. Churchill, U. S. Ambassador John G. Winant, Soviet Ambassador Ivan Maisky and most other members of the diplomatic corps. Many peers were in the peers’ gallery. Churchill was accorded an ovation as he entered the house for the first time since he returned from his momentous war conference in Washington and North Africa.

Says Oath Violated

Mr. Maholm in his petition charged that the juror’s purpose in making the statement “is to embarrass and humiliate Otto Petit as sheriff and Don Stiver as state police superintendent . . . when in truth and fact Marion county never in its history has had a more faithful, honest and conscientious public officer (Mr. Petit), and the same applies to Mr. Stiver.” The petition continued: “As a result of the unlawful activities of said grand juror, he has lost all his usefulness as a grand juror, has violated his oath of office as to secrecy of proceedings, has cast sus-

Honored

He is the 22-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. C. Earl Byrket, My N. Audubon S. Sgt. Byrket Sgt. Byrket was serving as a radio operator on a bomber.

STATE PRISONERS WILL BE DRAFTED

MIICHIGAN CIITY, Ind., June 8 (U. P.).—A separate draft board appointed by Governor Schricker for the Indiana state prison will begin registration . of inmates tomorrow, Warden Alfred Dowd said today. The three-man board will work closely with army officials, Dowd said, and the men deemed eligible will be granted paroles or conditional releases and inducted into the army. Youths, incarcerated for larceny, burglary or robbery and who are not regarded as unfit for release will be considéred eligible for military service, according to Dowd.

REPORT CHANNEL SKIRMISH By UNITED PRESS The Berlin radio today reported a skirmish between light British -and German naval forces in the English channel last night, claiming that an attack by British motor torpedo’ boats on a convoy was

picion upon all other members of the grand jury and has’ placed in jeopardy all indictments returned by the grand jury and any indictments that may be hereafter returned in which said George D. Nickerson should participate. And in due respect to the authority of this court, said grand juror should be immediately discharged from further service as such grand juror.” The petitioner asserted that the grand jury contemplates the hearing of witnesses in secret session and that the law does not contemplate that “an individual member shall become a hawkshaw detective and go out snooping around looking for

{minor violations of law simply for

the purpose of securing information to publicize before any investigation has been properly begun before the full body of the grand jury.”

Early Hearing Seen

Judge-Bain said he would set the petition for hearing within the next few days pending a study of laws governing the secrecy of grand jury deliberations. Suspension of the jury added a new chapter to a long series of grand jury troubles over a period of four months. The original January term grand jury was discharged following disclosure that Charles Helfenberger, foreman of that jury, had accepted a contract from county commissioners while he and other grand jurors were investigating county business. The second jury was forced to suspend work for two weeks following the requested resignation of one of its members. The present grand jury was finally selected by Judge Bain in March and has conducted

contracts, including the purchase of supplies for. Sunnyside sanatorium and other county business transactions.

OIL AVAILABLE FOR MOSQUITO CONTROL

Additional coal oil allotments for eradication of mosquitoes from swamps and other low-lying areas may be obtained from local rationing boards. Dr. A, M. Hetherington, county health officer, said he had arranged with rationing officials for the allocation of mosquito-killing coal oil after the prevalence of stagnant water in the county'and city had become a “health menace.” Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary, stated that excessive ' rains had greatly increased the hazard of malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases and warned residents of water-bound neighborhoods to sterilize -stagnant ponds through the application of coal oil to the surface.

259%, IN WAR BONDS TREASURY GOAL NOW

NEW YORK, June 8 (U. P.), — Citizens will be asked to invest 25 per cent of their incomes in war bonds instead of the present 10 per cent when the third war loan begins in September. Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr. said yesterday. Predicting that the drive would be more successful than the first and second, Morgenthau said that in asking 25 per cent “we may be aiming too high.” In any event, he added, the voluntary campaign will be “better than having forced savings.” Morgenthau said the 25 per cent drive will be aimed at family groups where man and wife are employed in war industries and

are enjoying excessive earnings.

Churchill's Trips ~~ Worry Cabinet

LONDON, June 8 (U, P.).—The -British war cabinet feels that it has been put on the spot every time it is consulted as to whether Prime Minister Winston Churchill should make a journey abroad; Home Minister Herbert Morrison ‘revealed today. “We feel we ought to say no, yet we know that on these journeys he does an enormous amount of good,” Morris said in a luncheon speech. “Nevertheless the risks he runs are real, and the responsibility on us is very great, and it always is a matter of balance whether we.ought to say yes or no.” But the cabinet members concede : that it probably wouldn't make any difference what they decide. “I am afraid’ there is always the feeling at the back of our minds that it doesn't matter anyhow what we think—he is going anyway,” Morrison explained. “He likes these journeys and they refresh him.”

And while they were there, they took a thorough and expert look at it, both from within and without. Their best-selling book, “Balcony Empire,” gives a vivid and complete report on what they saw and discovered. !

In "Balcony Empire" the Packaras not only record these and a multitude more of events which they had the unique

advantage of witnessing and the uncommon ability to

‘appraise; they also relate. them to other developments and incidents both inside and outside Italy, and so give body, weight, a third dimension to their narrative. The book is neither a series of characteristic sketches nor a chart of Italy at war. It is a striking, clear, accurate relief map in full natural color of the soul and the substance of the nation which, any day now, we may invade.
