\Nazi Battleship Tirpitz Bombed While in Harbor
(Continued From Page One) The new blow at the von Tirpitz
lieutenants were fortifying -the western coast of Europe from North cape to the Bay of Biscay in anticipation of an-allied invasion. * Latest reports from Sweden said the Germans were carrying out extensive repairs on the von Tirpitz. It had wallowed helplessly in the Alten fjord, 110 miles northeast of Tromsoe and 105 southwest of North cape, since the submarines sent torpedoes into its hull last Sept. 22. A number of small ships and floating repair equipment were reported clustered around the Von Tirpitz in the long, narrow channel where the submarines caught the German defenses off guard.
Completed in 1939
Completed in the spring of 1939 at the peak of Nazi naval aspirations, the Von Tirpitz was listed officially as of 35,000 tons. But all evidence tended to the conclusion that it was even larger. Rated at 30 knots, the big battlewagon mounted eight 15-inch guns, twelve 5.9 inchers, and 16 of 4.1 inches. About 1500 sailors manned the Von Tirpitz, sister ship of the Bismarck, which was sung by joint air
on May 27, 1041, after it had destroyed the British battle cruiser Hood off Greenland on May 24. In their first announced action of the war, British midget submarines stole boldly into the Alaten fjord last fall and hit the Von Tirpits so hard naval sources subsequently reported that she was “so thoroughly crippled that she was no longer a fighting ship.” An unrevealed number of the tiny undersea craft drove home one of the most daring assignments in naval history. The commanders of two of them were awarded the Victoria Gross. The submarines penetrated a

maze of German defenses and attacked from a range of 200 yards. After crossing the North sea they had worked their way through 50 miles of tortuous channel clogged with nets, gun defenses and listening pests to reach the Von Tirpitz anchorage. They met a fierce barrage of gunfire and depth charges after they had hurled their torpedoes into the Von Tirpitz. Two of the submarines were scuttled to keep them out of German hands after measures were taken for the safety of their crews. At least one other of the unknown number which made the attack did not return.
royal navy said some weeks later that the huge bulk of the battleship had been lifted several feet into the air by the torpedoes. A “great discharge of fuel oil washed over the waters of the fjord and subsequent reports of repair work gave evidence of the efficacy of the attack. If and when the Von Tirpitz can be written off, the last of Germany'’s capital ships will have been accounted for. The 26,000-ton battleship Scharnhorst was sunk last Dec. 26 in northern waters. The 26,060-ton Gnejsenau has been described as a hulk rusting in a Baltic sea haven.

James A. Collins,
The field of candidates for G. O. P. congressional nomination was raised to nine Saturday night by the last-minute candidacies of Edmund John Rocker and John E/ King. Others who filed previously were Ward B. Hiner, Edward E. Lewis, J. C. Cartwright, Capt. Ralph Updike of the marine corps and John E. King of special representative of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. Rep. Louis Ludlow, incumbent, was unopposed for-the Democratic nomination. The Democrats developed a lively last-minute factional scrap, too. Anti-organization forces led by James F. Cunningham, Center township trustee, filed almost a complete slate of candidates during the closing hours against County Chairman Russell Dean’s organization slate.
Democrats Have Contests
Anti-organization Democrats will support Joseph Howard for the prosecutor nomination against Wilfred Bradshaw, former juvenile court judge, who is the leading organization candidate on the county slate. The regular organization faced contests also in the sheriff, surveyor and county commissioner races. They filed wis L. Johnson for sheriff, Earl L. Johnson for surveyor and Mrs. Josephine Wade for county commissioner, second district. Against these the anti-organiza-tion leaders filed Daniel J. O'Neill for sheriff, John C. Ryan for surveyor and Amos P. Stevens for commissioner second district.
Two Are Unopposed
the legislature in many years developed during the last days of filings with the number reaching 104 for Marion county's 11 seats in the house of representatives.
the 11 party nominations and 32 Democrats were out for their 11 nominations. In the races for county offices, the city hall victory committee didn’t appear to have put up much opposition to the regular G. O. P. organization slate. Frank P. Huse, for treasurer and Dr. R. B. Storms for coroner, both regular organization candidates, are unopposed.
Judge's Term Unexpired
In his announcement for congress, Judge Stark, who still has
judge, said he decided to run for the nomination because he felt it his duty as a citizen to contribute whatever he could to ' national affairs. Judge Stark formerly was Marion county prosecutor and chief deputy prosecutor during the administration of William Remy.
Judge Stark began practicing law in 1922 and organized the first legal aid bureau in the state under the Family Welfare society. He taught classes in Americanization and for
to the jury of five baldish men, five middle-aged housewives and two spinsters. The prosecutor appealed for a verdict “free from prejudice and | according to law.” | “The government has established that the transportation of Miss Barry was for immoral purposes and ‘that the defendant Chaplin | had a willful intent to violate the ! Mann act,” he said. {

Issues Statement
Regarding his candidacy, Judge Stark said: “To represent the 11th district in congress at this time is a challenge and presents an opportunity justifying any sacrifice an individual could make. “We must all remember that there
are battles to be fought at home|
as well as abroad. If we lose the battles on the home front and in Washington, the victories gained at heavy sacrifices in foreign lands will be empty. “Like most families, whose young men and women have left home and security to fight our battles, I have a son in the service of the United States navy. None of us want these
