A delegate to the convention, the Governor also a former state commander, made the final talk of the ‘week-end session, Located Near Peru Mr. Harness, calling attention to discontinuance of the naval air station Dec. 1, believes it is especially suited to the rehalibitation of

Governor Gates paid tribute to the Legion's service record and called for local community co-oper-ation in handling veterans’ affairs. Other concluding days’ activities included election of Henry (Hank) Seibenmark of South Bend as state commander and the adoption of various resolutions dealing

sexton was to be arraigned today on a charge of slaying a slight acquaintance whom he mistook for another man while the victim's five

children screamed ‘Please don't shoot our daddy.” A threatened eviction and a home-buying deal were involved in the maze of circumstances which preceded the killing on a lonely country road four miles east of Independence yesterday. ; Deputy Sheriff William J. Delahunty said that Dan Miller had signed a confession in which he said he fired two shotgun blasts into James M. Bridges, 43, in the belief that he was shooting a man Miller accused of killing his brother. OPA Intervened “I'm sorry,” Delahunty quoted Miller as saying. “But the man I was going to shoot is Jesse Green. I'll still get him some day.” Green, a 45-year-old farmer, denied Miller's accusation, Delahunty said. The deputy added-that there was no record of any of Miller's four brothers having been slain, Green told the officer, however, that he had been ordered out of his farm home by Miller but that the OPA had intervened. And he had talked with Miller about buy= ing the property he rents from him. . According to the account given Delahunty by the victim's companions, Miller raised the gun and advanced toward Bridges, who was changing a tire, and whose young children screamed terrified Pleas for their father’s life. “Remarkable Resemblance”

The first shot struck Bridges in the back as he tried frantically to | hide behind the stalled automobile. The second shot missed, but a third—fired at point blank range— tore into the wounded man’s chest. Bridges’ assailant bent over the dying man, looked closely at him and cried out: “Oh, my God, I've shot the wrong man.” Delahunty, whe found Miller waiting at the scene when arrived, said Green=the man Miller said he intended to ghoot—bears “remarkable resemblance” to the man who died.

VOTING IN FRANGE SHOWS LEFT SWING

PARIS, Sept. 24 (U. P.)~Early returns in France's first municipal elections since 1937 showed a strong swing fo the left today.

The Socialist party appeared to have won 50 district seats, nearly double its strength in 1937. Close behind, with 48, came the combined

radical and radical-socialist parties. The Communist party had

clinched 10 seats. The movement Republican Populaire had won only two seats and all other parties eight. It was too early to speak of a landslide, but all indications were that the three left-wing parties would win a sweeping victory with the Socialists far ahead of both the radical-socialists and Communists, The elections, held yesterday, were regarded as a preview for the general elections next month, Among those elected were Edouard Herriot, mayor of Lyon and former premier of France, Robert La Coste, production minister; Rene Mayer, communications, transport and public works minister, Rene Pleven, national economy and finance minister,
