GOAL POSSIBLE IN BOND DRIVE

. Hope for arand Slam Seen

By War Loan Chiefs.

Rays of hope for another grand slam over the top were seen for the first time today by heads of the Seventh war loan drive in Marion county and the state. Hoosiers were waiting in line at war bond booths throughout the state to do their best to keep Indiana’s war loan record perfect. In the county, William H. Trimble, chairman, reported bond purchases had been pushed up to $27,800.000 or 83 per cent of the $33,000, 000 quota for individual buying. Tabulators Swamped Eugene C. Pulliam, state chairman

of the war finance committee, aid 4

a bond buying wave over Indiana had swamped tabulators

gerve banks and that Hoosier's had achieved at least 88 per cent of their buying goal of $167,000,000. Employees at the Marmon-Her-rington plant were figuring what additional sums were needed to convért their payroll savings accumulations into bonds by the end of the month, Bert Dingley and William Klett of the company said. Employees already had reached 150 per cent of their quota. Sales Rolling In Optimism of county chairmen, however, wds based on the opinion that many more counties in Indiana had a chance to go over the top by a week from tomorrow, the processing deadline for seventh war Joan bonds in the federal] reserve drive. “Sales are rolling in... and we have a chance to make the goal again,” Mr, Trimble said. “Let's keep them .rolling today and tomorrow and then let's buy all the regular war bonds we can next week in order to be sure that we move over the top.”

HE YEARS—like Old ‘Man River (White River!)——just keep rolling along, steadily but certainly not monotonously. Here at the water company, we were 80 busy on June 1st that we completely overlooked the fact that on that date we completed our [74th year of providing the city with a safe and adequate water supply. Yes, 74 years. The first ‘water was pumped in Indianapolis qn June 1, 1871."

OUR FIRST pumping station fs still in use, but the building has been remodelled and the equipment, of course, has been replaced to help meet the city’s ‘demand for water. You may be familiar with that original sta‘tion, It is located on the south side of Washington Street on the east bank of White River—just across the river from the site of the first settler’s cabin.

AS PROUD as we are of our 74 years of service to the city, we're prouder still of the long servfee records of many of our employees. Naturally, today, none of them has been with us from the start; but we do have two active—and we mean active!— employees over the half-century

Barker Hill School of Air

To Celebrate Anniversary

Bunker Hill has turned out more than 5000 ensigns in the naval reserves or second lieutenants in the marine corps. Many of the students there came from service with he fleet and were selected for the air training because of their outstanding ability and the mental alertness needed by an aviator. At Bunker Hill the cadets take their first flights and, following graduation, transfer to the type of combat training they need. At another field advanced training is given before the cadets join squadrons and go to the battle area.

HANG 3 GERMANS WHO SLEW AIRMAN

RHEINBACK, Germany, June 29 (U. P.).—Three German civilians were hanged at a military prison here at dawn today for the murder of an unknown American airman who parachuted into Germany

from a burning bomber last August. The men, Peter Back, Peter Kohn and Mathias Gierens, were convicted at a court-martial. A fourth defendant, Mathias Krein, also was convicted, but was reprieved by Lt. Gen. Leonard T. Gerow, commander of the American 15th army. Back, local Nazi party leader, was the last of the three to die. When M. Sgt. John Woods, former Texas penitentiary hangman, sprung the trap of the wooden gallows, Back screamed: “Jesus take me!” The executions were the first inside Germany of civilian war criminals. Only newsmen, army officers and necessary personnel witnessed the hangings.

Clears Path for

Victory on Luzon

WASHINGTON, June 29 (U. P.).—Second Lt, ‘Donald E. Rudolph, Minneapolis, Minn. has been awarded the medal of honor for almost single handedly clearing a path through a Japanese force in Luzon. His feat paved the way for an advance “which led to one of the most decisive victories in the Philippines campaign,” the war department announced today. At one stage of the battle, Rudolph climbed atop a Japanese pillbox. He used (his bare hands to .rip a slot in the roof through which he dropped a grenade and killed the machine-gun crew inside. He then proceeded to knock out seven more pillboxes with grenades, rifle fire and by sealing up their gun openings with earth when he ripped off their roofs with a pick-ax to drop high explosives inside. Later, when his platoon was attacked by an enemy tank, Rudolph advanced under covering fire to climb on top of the tank and drop a white phosphorus grenade through the turret, killing the entire crew.

STRIKES KEEP

60,000 IDLE

140,000 Go Back to Jobs in

Detroit Plants.

‘By UNITED PRESS Some 40,000 Detroit workers went back to their war tasks today after C.1 O. and A PF. of L. leaders tentatively agreed to end jurisdictional disputes. Strikes elsewhere over the nation kept an estimated 60,000 others idle. The back-to-work movement began last night in response to orders from United Auto Workers (C. 1.0.) President R. J. Thomas, who warned thats members remaining off work could not expect support from the international union. Thomas’ announcement followed conferences in Washington between international officers of the U. A. W. and the National Building Trades Council (A. PF. of L). Three Firms Affected

The Detroit work stoppage, climaxing a dispute between A, F. of L. and C. I1.© O. maintenance men over reconversion construction jobs, affected 22,000 Packard Motor Car Co. employees, 7500 at Budd Wheel Manufacturing Co. and 10,500 in three Ford Motor Co. plants. Railway brotherhoods representing employees on two Chicago suburban electric lines voted to leave their jobs Monday to press demands for a wage boost. Chicago headquarters of, the Amalgamated Meat Cutters (A. F. of L.) warned that their 100,000 members were demanding immediate action on a war labor board approved raise. Two new strikes. were recorded. About 200 workers were idle at the Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corp.'s Duquesne, Pa., plant, and 2200 C. I. O. United Steelworkers were sent home by a strike of 48 fellow workers at the New Kensington, Pa., plant of the Aluminum Co. of America.

Federal Seizure Here

At Akron, O., federal seizure appeared the next step in a strike of 16,500 rubber workers against the Goodyear Tire & Rubber/Co. An almost equal number of Firestone workers earlier this week granted their officers authority to call a strike, if necessary, to back up contract demands. In other Ohio disputes, 3300 remained on strike at Toledo, Marion and Painesville. The labor situation . otherwise continued virtually unchanged. - The Northern Indiana Brass Co's. Elkhart plant, scene of several outbreaks of violence on picket lines, remained closed.

VICTORY MIKE IS CLOSED BY STRIKE

BRAZIL, Ind. June 29 (U. P.).— The Victory mine near Cloverdale was closed today by a strike of 500 men over distribution of work. Members of the United Mine Workers union walked out after two machine operators were injured and their assistants replaced them. Miners on other shifts claimed the work. : The miners had“received $60 vacation pay with their regular payroll Monday. Spokesmen said they probably would return to work next Monday. Many used the idle time to work in their gardens. Strikers were liable to fines of $2 for the first day of the walkout
