AMERICAN OPINION on war is increasingly rota That is the view of Will H, Hays, former movie czar, here to address the monster Victory loan rally tonight at the Coliseum, Interviewed today at the Claypool, Mr. Hays was asked what he had found Americans: thinking concerning war and the prevention of war during his extensive travels throughout the country. “1 believe there is a strong and

U.S.Navy to Scuttle Most Of Jap Fleet

WASHINGTON, Oct. 31 (U. P.)i= Secretary of State James F. Byrnes announced today that the remnants of the Japanese fleet, except 38 destroyers, will be scuttled. The destroyers and some lesser ships will be divided equally among China, Russia, Britain and the United States, The method of scuttling has not been determined. The U, 8, navy intends to test the atomic bomb on naval ships, and may use them for that purpose. In any event, the scuttling will be done by this country. ‘Byrnes did not have exact figures on the number of vessels to be scuttled, But he sald they included approximately one battle« ship, four aircraft carriers (one of which is damaged), four cruisers: (three of which are damaged) and

It was learned, however, from statements to certain associates and personal friends that he is definite~ ly willing to run. It seemed fairly certain that a Ludlow candidacy would cause more than a ripple in the senatorial picture in both Democratic and Republican parties. From a purely Democratic standpoint, the dean of the Hoosier congressional delegation would be able to bring a number of strong arguments before the state convention next June in support of his candidacy. Record of Nine Victories

He has a record of nine victories in his district. Former Governor Henry F. Schricker, who has also been talked as a strong bidder. for the nomination, bears the stigma of recent defeat.
