HOOSIER HELD IN NEIGHBOR'S DEATH
COLUMBUS, Ind., June 21 (U. ‘P.)—Lewis Collis, 26, was held in Bartholomew county jail today in nnection with the fatal shooting Saturday of his neighbor, Roscoe Francis Craig, 31. Collis was arrested yesterday after Sheriff Walter O'Neal and a posse searched five hours before finding him hidden in a thicket about a mile from the scene of the shooting. O'Neal said Collis admitted accidentally shooting Craig. Neighbors armed with shotguns guarded their homes when they learned of the shooting and some of the men joined the posse. County Prosecutor William Lienberger said he probably would call a grand jury for investigation this week.

Teamwork
THE COMBINED forces of the Indianapolis symphony orchestra, the Indianapolis symphonic choir, the choral section of Matinee musicale and the maennerchor of the Athenaeum Turners will present Handel's “Messiah” next Dec. 12, for the first time in the city’s history. Conductor Fabien Sevitzky of the orchestra will direct the presentation, assisted by the directors of the three musical organizations — Elmer Steffen, Joseph Lautner and Clarence Elbert. Soloists will be announced later. “This has been a dream of mine for a long time,” Mr. Sevitzky said. “The result of uniting these three great singing societies with the orchestra should be a fine musical experience for this community.” Because of expected attendance, the oratorio will be given Sunday afternocn, Dec. 12, at the Cadle tabernacle. It will not be a part of the orchestra's regular sub-
scription series. ” »

Exceptional significance is attached to Mr. Selznick’s renewed activity, according to Joseph Steele, director of publicity for Mr, Selznick. Mr. Steele points out that a product by Selznick "sells, which of course, happens to be a fact. What has Selznick been doing all the time since “Rebecca”?

ALGIERS, June 21 (U. P.).—The French committee of national liberation met in’ plenary session today under the shadow of a reported threat by Gen. Charles de Gaulle to leave North Africa unless his comembers accept his demands for reforms in the rejuvenated French army.
Authoritative sources said that de Gaulle made known during informal conversations that he intends to depart—tantamount to resigning from the liberation committee—for either Beirut, Syria or Brazzaville, French Equatorial Africa, in the event that his demands are sidetracked or rejected. A London dispatch said that the

The modern enterprising magazine salesgirl has discarded the method of trudging from house to house in search of customers.

their patience tested by the prolonged political wrangling in Algiers, may form a consortium to take over and hold in trust French territory until a post-war government can be established in France. The dispatch said that it would not be surprising if the allies suggested to de Gaulle that his retirement would be the biggest contribution he could make toward the reconquest of France. A similar suggestion also might be made to Gen. Henri Honore Giraud. The political wrangling for powar in Algiers obviously is becoming an actual military handicap for the allies, because virtually all the French, including the army followers of both de Gaulle and Giraud, are spending the ‘bulk of their time and interest in political disputes rather than in preparing troops for attacking the European continent. The allied high command in North Africa may feel that it is impossible to spend further time in ironing out complex French questions, especially if it believes that some parties to the controversy prefer to stir up controversy rather than smooth it out. The British public is believed to be backing the American viewpoint 100 per cent, with the consensus that the hands-off policy has gone far enough and now is the time for cracking down.
REPORT RUSS USE NEW SUPER PLANE
LONDON, June 21 (U. P.).—The Daily Sketch said today that the Russians have produced a new medium bomber, IL-4, understood to surpass all other bombers of its class in speed and range. British observers, it was said, will be permitted to examine the plane, which was designed by the creator of the Stormovik assault plane.
LEND-LEASE TO GET SURPLUS PRISON FOOD
WASHINGTON, June 21 (U.

Prison farms, it reported, have increased their 1943 plantings by one-fourth over last year and have greatly expanded the reduction of livestock. ;

Good Response "Reported In Campaign to Relieve
Labor Shortage.
About 1000 persons, more than half of them women, have enlisted for employment through the citizens’ ‘manpower committee, which opened headquarters last week at 20 N. Pennsylvania st. to enlist men
and women interested in securing ||
jobs to alleviate the manpower shortage. The office will be open each Monday from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. and every other weekday from 9 a. m. to 6 p. m.
Many of the women who regis- |g
tered last week told interviewers they never had held jobs before. Ages ranged from 14 to 82, with many teen-age girls and boys, and a large number of men and women in their 60's and 70's offering their services. Results Gratifying
Registrants were listed from Greenfield, Shelbyville, Martinsville, Covington, Franklin, Nashville, Bloomington, Brooklyn and from as far away as Terre Haute, Dugger and Montpelier. John A, Reis, committee chairman, said he was especially gratified at the result of the first week’s campaign, especially the response of the women. “We must count heavily on the women to help out in this emergency, since the selective service, the needs of our war plants and other demands have largely drained the community of available men workers,” said Mr. Reis. “The willingniess of women to leave their homes and enter the ranks of business and industry speaks volumes for their fine patriotic spirit.”
NEGRO MANPOWER NOT FULLY UTILIZED
WASHINGTON, June 21 (U. P.). —The war manpower commission
said today that, although there is a |
steady increase in the use of Negro workers in war plants, the number
Jof Negroes in war industries is not
yet commensurate with their proportion of the labor force. Race prejudice, limits placed on occupational and training opportunities, along with geographic distribution of the Negro labor force in relation to geographical distribution of war contracts, were. blamed.
