By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS . Scripps-Howard Foreign Fditor GTON, Aug. 2—United nations officials in London are t the revolt against Hitler was not only genuine but, far

if not the spearhead, of that movement, The Germans have been waging intensive war for five years. For others there have been lulls, or periods of respite but the harddriven Germans have been at it relentlessly since August, 1939. Long before 1839," even, the German masses were forced to endure the “guns versus , butter” psychology, while Hitler built up reserves for the war he planned. | Hence the German people are tired. For a time these sacrifices were made to seem all right. Hitler's victories in the field indicated a short and successful war. Now, according to reports, sweet

Ryti, whose government has followed a pro-German policy, resigned as president of Finland because of “our country's difficult and threatened position.” He said he was convinced that “the highest authority in both military and civilian spheres in this hour should be concentrated in a single person”—Mannerheim, commander of Finland's armed forces. A United Press dispatch from Helsinki said the Riksdag—Finnish parliament—rushed a special bill, enablipgg Mannerheim to assume the presidency without an election, through two readings within a few hours yesterday afternoon. The third reading by law must be defrred for three days and it was assumed that Mannerheim would take office immediately following that reading Friday.

SCHRICKER TO JOIN TOUR OF INSTITUTIONS

Governor Schricker will join the Indiana budget committee tomorrow at the state prison at Michigan City on the first leg of the committee's five-week tour of the state's 21 institutions.

Warsaw has been reached, the road to Paris is open, Turkéy may soon join the allies, the Balkans are tottering, the eyes of the German people are opening and the spirit of revolt is rising against the would-be Napoleon. Today it has become apparent that no matter what high-sounding name Goebbels and the others give it, the only thing the Nazis are fighting for now is self-preservation. Like condemned men, they are seeking reprieve, They would rather hang in January than in August, for every extra day gives them that much more hope. To win the reprieve, Hitler and ithe Nazi hierarchy apparently are prepared to sacrifice the life of the last soldier or civilian. And the German people don't think Hitler and his gang are worth the price. Moreover German industrialists don't relish seeing their last bit of capital expended in such a cause, Every day of war adds to the economic exhaustion of the country. Such, I am told, is increasingly

Thus while the Nazis may have quelled an abortive revolt, it can hardly be for long if, as It appears, it was the outgrowth of something much bigger, much more serious and definitely more progressive than “just a general's plot.”

HEALTH CODES;

Survey ‘of City Department Reports Improvements Are Needed.

By SHERLEY UHL Co-ordination of all city health units under a rigid merit system Wncluding an employee pension and retirement plan, and establishment of an “up to date” public health code were urgently recommended in a report issued today by the J. L. Jacobs & Co., municipal job_and

Claim Lack of Supervision

Not mentioned in the comprehensive volume was the fact that virtually all city food inspectors are either ward chairmen or precinct committeemen. In commenting generally on the present health department setup, the report deplored the absence any “well-defined plan of department organization. Functions of the reSout ve units and the duties ‘and

Rules Are Broad

Every veteran whose schooling was interrupted when he was inducted into the armed forces is entitled to at least a year’s schooling at government expense, or more, depending on the "length “of his service, The eligibility rules are broad. The veteran must have served at least 90 days and been, discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. Any veteran under 25 at ‘the time. of his induction is int rack’ et i dc they were in-school at the time. The veteran .can. pick “his own school and enter any school, college, training course or specialized course of instruction, including apprentice] training, for which he meets academic or other requirements.

institutions of this character,” the isolation hospital report continued. “The striking thing about the organization is the diffusion of responsibility and lack of operating and reporting procedures and controls. Professional and technical supervision is inadequate and responsibility and lines of authority are loose and uncertain. Flaws in the operation of the various public health clinics were also “Several of the clinics, including that at the central office, are below any reasonable standard, both in furnishings and equipment. Three clinics, including the dental clinic at school 5, and the tuberculosis clinics at Brightwood and West Indianapolis should be discontinued because of inadequate use.” The survey also suggested that health services, now- distributed in eight separate units, bé integrated under four main bureaus: preventive medicine; public health nursing; community sanitation and administration.

Proposes Supervisors

In addition to proposing two distinct executive officers—health director (Dr. Herman G. Morgan), and hospital . superintendent, (Dr. Charles W. Myers), it also recommended: establishment of eight permanent supervisory positions: Assistant health director; superintendent of public health nursing: superintendent of community sanitation; supervisor of public health records and reports; epidemologist for control of contagious diseases and three district supervising health nurses, The elimination of 34 jobs was likewise suggested.

In many cases, that can mean a full four-year course, the limit of the educational benefit.

A misunderstanding of OPA regulations today had the state auditor's office in a dither over what to do about 52 used state police motorcycles which were sold on July 24 to Tom O'Brien of Indianapolis for $24,925. Deputy Auditor Ross Teckemeyer said he sold the motorcycles to Mr. O'Brien, the high bidder, after he definitely had been advised by OPA officials that there was mo ceiling price on used motorcycles. Now, he said, it turns out that, according to OPA interpretation, there is no price regulation of the amount the state can get for the | motorcycles, but that the purchaser !is subject to ceiling regulations. And Mr. O'Brien paid above the ceiling , .-. an average of $485 apiece, Mr. Teckemeyer said.-

He said he was undecided as to what action to take and believed it probable that he would refund the money and take back the motorcycles, many of which are in firstclass condition. “The OPA should have taken time to decide whether there was a ceiling price on used motorcycles when I asked them about it,” Mr. Teckemeyer said. He added that the OPA had advised Mr. O'Brien to find out the March, 1942, market price of the type of motorcycles he had purchased.

But these conferences also give Dewey a chance to talk grass roots politics, Governor Dewey arrived at Union station here at 8:37 o'clock this morning. The gathering of the governors in the lobby outside their hotel conference room was like a reunion of the class 1910 or 1915 in some Midwestern college, full of enthusiasm, laughter and shouts across the heads of the crowd, The cheery confidence of the governors representing 26 states seemed more than to make up for the very moderate enthusiasm with which St. Louis greeted Dewey this morning.

Earl Warren of California, who refused a sure chance for the vice presidential nomination at the Republican convention, was somewhat less sure about his state. “You can’t count the votes in August,” he said. “Anything can happen between now and election day next November.” Asked whether Dewey could speak in California, Warren said: “I don’t know, but he ought to.

Wait Up Half the Night

Meanwhile Mrs, Audrey Alspaugh _ and Miss Donnis Dicks and a Times reporter waited out half the night at 1715 Spruce st. to see if the man with the scarred face would make his nightly appearance. With several neighbors up on their porches, the bright moon light and a police squad car passing every 15 minutes, it is possible he may have been frightened away temporarily. Nonetheless, the two women sat out the lonely vigil, their 22 rifle and 32 revolver within hand's reach. . “We're still scared to death,” said Mrs. Alspaugh, “but this is my home and I'm not going to give it up.
