special exposition edition of the old Indianapolis Journal, dated Aug. 30, 1873. It referred to Indianapolis, even then, as the “greatest inland city.”
The magnitude of this calamity is measured by the large number of native Jews and refugees from Germany now in Hungary, Rumania and Bulgaria. Hitherto it was possible to get refugees out of those countries. For that purpose President Roosevelt two ‘months ago appointed the secretaries of war, state and treasury as a war refugee board, along lines proposed by the senate foreign relations committee in unanimously approving the Gillette-Taft-Baldwin-Rogers resolution.
Every Day Counts
AN ESTIMATED two million or more Jews have been wiped out by Hitler. The problem is to rescue
them in neutral and nearby allied territories for the duration. It should not be necessary to point out to the war refugee board, which was named only after years of unpardonable delay, that with these Balkan de-
white paper barrier should be lifted. . This humanitarian issue ¢f relief should not be confused with the entirely different political dispute over Zionism and creation of a Jewish state. To save
torture, starvation and death—of which the large number are Jews—is not a matter of religious sect or Send , of political party or policy. It is common ecency.

IF A SERGEANT grumbles like distant thunder in reference fo a detail to which he has just been assigned, you can bet your hat it’s the awkward squad. This is a bunch of raw recruits being taught the rudiments of closeorder drill, Next to being in' a heavy barrage without his helmet, the sergeant dislikes this more anything else, as the rookies soon discover. His main problem is to get the rookies to address him properly. “Listen, soldier, I'm just a sergeant, it is not neg-

ANOTHER JAP SNEAK ATTACK AY, Navy Chiefs Say " Pearl Harbor Again
May Be Target.
HONOLULU, March 30 (U. P.).— Adm. Chester W. Nimitz, command-
Robert C. Richardson Jr, army commander for the Hawalian area, warned in affidavits filed in federal court today that Hawaii was still in “imminent danger” of Japanese invasion and had been ever since the Dec. 7, 1941, sneak enemy attack. Both Nimitz and Richardson contended that continuance of martial law and suspension of the writ of habeas corpus were necessary for the prosecution of the Pacific war. Their affidavits were filed as part of a lengthy brief in which counsel for Honolulu county Sheriff Duke P. Kahanamoku, famous Waikiki swimmer and surf rider, asked dismissal of a petition for a writ of habeas corpus that sought the re-| lease of a civil war worker jailed by a military court.
Second In Year
The case was the second within less than a year to challenge directly the existence of military law throughout the Hawaiian territory. Counsel for the war worker, Lloyd | C. Duncan, charged that martial! law no longer existed in Hawali and said Duncan should have been tried by a civiliin court. . Duncan was convicted by the military court of assaulting two marine guards and sentenced to six months in ‘the county jail. His attorney is Garner Anthony, former territorial attorney general,
Hearing Tomorrow
A hearing was scheduled for tomorrow on the new habeas corpus writ before-Federal Judge Delbert C. Metzger, who last fall fined Richardson $100 for contempt of court after the general refused to produce two Americans of German ancestry who had petitioned for similar writs. The earlier case was dismissed when the two internees returned to the mainland and were released. The fine later was set aside.

A bring criminals to trial within 18 months after their indictment if he is elected county prosecutor was given by Judge John L. Niblack, Republican candidate for the post, in a speech yesterday before a meeting of Republican women of the 12th and 14th wards and Decatur township. “Action for his money is what the taxpayer wants out of a prosecutor,” the judge said. He cited the recent case in criminal court when embezzlement charges against some deputy clerks were dismissed because the defendants had been under indictment a year and a half and not brought to trial. “Inefficient, dwadling government is better than no government,” he stated, “but when the taxpayers of Marion county dig down and pay the better part of $100,000 a year to have criminal cases prepared and tried in court, they are entitled to something more.” The meeting was at the home of Mrs. John W. Bell, 1216 Lee st., who presided.

WILLKIE BLASTS BACK ROOM BOYS
‘They'll Win for New Deal,’ He Asserts Near End of Primary Tour.
SUPERIOR, Wis, March 30 (U. P.) —Wendell L. Willkie was scheduled to end his two-week pre-pri-mary tour of Wisconsin here today after blasting the “back room boys” of the Republican party who threatened to make the New Deal the “lesser of two evils” facing the nation in the November election.
Willkie told an Eau Claire, Wis, audience last night that certain factions of the G. O. P. “think you can be elected by telling one group one thing, and another group something else; by picking up so many delegates here and so many there; by slicking this fellow down and giving that fellow some hot air; that you can tell one group you are opposed racial discrimination and then decide a racial issue’ in such a way that you won't offend anyone in the South.”
Urges Definite Stand
Stumping the state in support of 24 delegates pledged to him in Tuesday’s primary, Willkie demanded that the Republican party and its leaders “take an affirmative stand on the issues of the hour because when confronted by the lesser of these two evils, the people will continue to vote for the New Deal “rather than an undecided G. O. P.” “The- ‘back room boys’ have been using all of the elements opposed to the New Deal to build, through silence on important issues or through a merger, a party that could only force citizens to vote for the present administration again,” willkie said.
“The Republican party is entitled to leadership,” he said. “I would be ashamed to lead a party made up of Gerald Smiths, a party with no guts, whose leaders don’t want to be men when men are dying for us.
Attacks Hearst Papers .
“I wouldn't accept the Republican nomination on those conditions if it were on a silver platter, decorated with diamonds.” 2 Earlier, Willkie told audiences at Chippewa Falls and Menomonie that “the very men who hate the administration so much ghat they cannot see its good points are actually proving to be its best friends.” “These men and these forces, such as the Chicago Tribune and the Hearst papers, hate the administration so much that they advocate always-negative policies which prevent the people from removing the New Deal from leadership,” he said. “The people compare the New Deal * with the policies of the Tribune and Hearst and stick by present leadership, even though they are disillusioned.”

Nothing to Rumor Before I left Washington I had
Churchill would resign this spring, that he regarded the war as well on the way to victory and that some younger man should bear the heavy burden of the premiership. 3 According to these, sources he would be made an ear] or a duke as his famous ancestor, the Duke of Marlborough, and live gracefully in retirement thereafter. On the above authority — and others who know Mr, Churchill intimately pretty generally conctir— there is nothing to this resignation rumor. ie Mr. Churchill, they assert, has too profound a -sense of history and of drama to make himself a party to any such anticlimax.
What Is Expected
What the prime minister may be expected to do therefore is this: He will continue to lead the British war effort and play-his part in: the international scene until victory. Then at the peak of his prestige and power he will resign and allow nothing to persuade him to stay on. Too often he has seen or history has told him of great men who overstayed their welcome. All great leaders have something of the actor in them and so has Churchill. He knows that the time to exit is while you still have resounding lines to speak and the spotlight is still on you--not after someone else has stolen both from you.. Nor is it likely, said my friend, that he will accept an earldom or a dukedom, His place In history will be reward gnough. ‘In His Elf*ment’
My friend and Mr. Churchill's - friend concluded he is pre-eminent-ly a war leader. As a soldier, histcrian and student of military matters throughout his career, he is in his element now. He might not relish the thousand and one domestic problems of peace. The chances are they would bore him as tedious after the world conflicts and cataclysms through which he has moved and played so distinguished a part. :
