NAVY ‘STRONG,’ SAYS NIMITZ

Warns Against Continued Building Delay. (Continued From Page One)

tories which may be of conceivable use in naval warfare.” “Far from allowing ourselves to fall behind the times, we intend to lead in the discovery of new and better methods of insuring our national security,” he said. “All of us who have seen the death and destruction that modern war can bring, do not ever wish to see it again. For this reason we are more than anxious to join in the search for means of establishing permanent peace. : “But until that peace is an actuality, we dare not relax our defenses.” Adm, Nimitz said that the nation should make “a heavy investment in education” to train civilian and military technicians. He said the country coyld no longer expect Annapolis and West Point alone to “produce men qualified to guard our security.” Indiana survivors of the cruiser “Indianapolis” appeared on the balcony above the marquee of the Hotel English with Adm. Nimitz and local dignitaries including Governor Gates and Mayor Tyndall. Sea Scouts formed an honor guard at the flag ceremonies. Capt. Kraker to Get Award The private dinner party for Adm. Nimitz, which the Navy league will give in the Naval Armory at 5:30 p. m.,, will be highlighted by the presentation of the mnavy's fourth highest award—the Legion of Merit—to Capt. George P. Kraker, conmanding officer of the naval ordnance plant here. The award, to be made by Adm. Nimitz, is the third such honor conferred upon Capt. Kraker, Tanned and smiling Adm. Nimitz stepped from his private twin-en-gined airplane at Weir Cook Municipal airport at exactly 4 p. m. yesterday. ‘He and his company, including Mrs. Nimitz, were greeted by a host of city and state officials. Adm. Nimitz had the chance to answer only one or two questions amid the confusion of the welcoming delegation and popping of photographers’ flash bulbs. When asked what he thought of the army-navy merger, Adm. Nimitz whirled around, glared and snapped: “No comment!” He did say about the battleship Indiana: “I have the greatest respect for her fine performance during seven major bombardments and countless air attacks.” After he had shaken hands with everyone at the airport, Adm, Nimits was whisked away in a black limousine to St. Vincent's hospital where he and his wife paid respects to the wife of Russell L. White, Navy Day chairman, who met with an accident Thursday. He then began his busy program of speeches, meetings, dinners, etc. Open House at Ordnance Plant During the Naval armory dinner, Mrs. Nimitz will be honored at a dinner at the governor’s mansion. Throughout the day, until 4 p. m., “open house” was being held for the first time at the naval ordnance plant, 21st st. and Arlington ave. The public was seeing the heretofore secret operations of the plant and naval products which helped win the war. Adm. Nimitz was to spend the night at the governor's mansion and leave by plane in the morning,

Bank Bandits Given |5 Years

Two Michigan brothers were under sentence for 15-year prison terms today for the $11,000 holdup last May of the New Palestine, Ind., state bank. The men, Robert D. Atteberry, 22, and his brother, Charles E. 20, Bangor, Mich.,, were sentenced yesterday by Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell, Charles made an unsuccessful ap-

peal for leniency for his older brother, who saw war action at Okinawa, .

" “It was mostly my fault,” he told the judge. “My brother should have a chance. He was in the army.” Judge Baltzell said that Robert “is older and should "have known what he was doing.”

simply continuing the historic “no contract, no work” policy, some insiders say he’s forgotten another provision. This bars payment of benefits to strikers against government.

Mr. Lewis can’t let 400,000 miners and their families go hungry, but if he attempts to pay cash to them from union funds, the government could charge him with violation of the act. It would like nothing better, convinced now Mr. Lewis can't be trusted. Up to now, the administration has been spoon-feeding Mr. Lewis, despite warning early this year from Ickes, then secretary of interior. Most disillusioned by Mr. Lewis’ sudden hostility: The navy. Naval personnel who took over coal mines administration were on cozy footing with miners’ head, naively believed he would be satisfied with fulfillment of contract. Mr, Lewis quibbled, however, about payment of 5-cents-a-ton royalty on coal for welfare, said it should be paid on coal as it comes to tipple, including rock, dirt, shale and slack. Mines administration pays it on coal after it’s cleaned. Mr. Lewis also wants miners to get pro rata share of $100 vacation money, whether they worked in same mine for previous year or in other mines. The honeymoon between navy and Mr. Lewis began to chill over those points. It's over now. The navy has enforced the new federal safety code for its 3300 mines, is still working on a survey of living conditions, medical and recreational facilities. Report will be made this fall. Last report on the nation’s coal stockpile above ground showed 36 days’ supply. The October figure will be somewhat larger. But production will be cooled off, as well as homes. 8 » ”

Lilienthal Is ‘Cinch’

NEWEST WASHINGTON STORY ABOUT ATOMIC COMMISSION: David E. Lilienthal, head of TVA, is a cinch to be chairman; other members include Lewis L. Strauss, former rearadmiral and. now with Kuhn, Loeb & Co.; Sumner Pike, former SEC commissioner; an editor from Jowa and a scientist from Cornell. If they show up Monday and get their pictures taken at the White House the rumor will be true” Mr, Lilienthal is a DePauw university graduate. ‘8 » ; POLITICAL implications of a

~goal strike four days before elec-

tion worry Democrats, but also are beginning to bother Republicans. Mr. Lewis has the Truman administration in bad spot, but if the country gets idea that John L. (who is Republican) pulled his threat at this time to embarrass the administration, that could kick back hard against the G. 0. P. in many states. yew

Democratic Decline Slowed MEAT decontrol seems to be having little effect on sagging Democratic fortunes, Politicians say most voters had made up their minds before controls went off meat. They think no Democratic votes have been gained but that Democratic strength would have continued to slide if the famine had continued. Republican congressional cane didates in Pennsylvania and West Virginia are making most of Moscow's endorsement of the P, ‘A. C. campaign, They're offering it as proof of claims the Demoocratic party is dominated from left. ! 8'n =» GOVERNMENT economists who . guesseds wrong by several millions on postwar unemployment may be guessing wrong again when they predict “recession” by spring. Independent researchers say there may be no letdown before 1948 and that at most slight recession would not come before summer or fall of 1047. ‘»

Intelligence Troubles

RELATIONS between the FBI and Lt. Gen. Hoyt Vandenberg’s central intelligence group are far from cordial. As result, much activity in South and Central America, on which this country kept close watch after 1941, is going undetected. FBI maintained listening posts in good neighbor countries throughout the war, was forced to recall them when intelligence was centralized and congress appropriated nothing for FBI overseas. Gen. Vandenberg now is having difficulty getting the men he

TEACHERS HEAD TOWARD HOME

93d Session Ends With Talk By Newsman. Hoosier teachers were on thelr

attendance at the 93d annual Indiana State Teachers association convention's two-day session here yesterday and Thursday. The educators concluded their conclave last night at a session ip Cadle tabernacle. They heard Leigh White, foreign correspondent, discuss Russian and Anglo-American relations. An 1100 voice chorus also gave a concert at the session under the direction of the Indiana State Choral Festival association. New, Dangerous Stage Mr. White declared that relations between this country and Russia “were entering a new and ous stage,” and he contended that “actually we have no relations with Russia.” “The only way our nation and Russia will ever understand each other is for Russia to permit her citizens to know American citizens. They would then see the fallacy of the Marxist doctrine,” he said. Yesterday morning, at the annual association business meeting, they teachers elected Willlam E. Wilson, Jeffersonville, Clark county superintendent, president of the association for the coming year. Miss Thelma Ballard, Marion, was named vice president, and Robert H. Wyatt, Indianapolis, was re-elected executive secretary, the position he has held for the past eight years.

TRUMAN SPURS LUMBER OUTPUT

Lifts Import Tariff; GOP Says Political Move.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 (U.P.) ~~ The administration today took a triple poke at the housing shortage, labeled by President Truman an “unprecedented emergency.” Backed by the President's suspension of duties on lumber imports, Housing Expediter Wilson W. Wyatt acted to spur output of both conventional and pre-fabri-cated homes for veterans. Republicans charged that he motives were political. G. O. P, Chairman Carroll Reece said Mr. Truman appeared to be more interested in mending his political fences than in building new ‘houses, Safeguard Imports These were the developments: ONE: Mr. Wyatt prepared a list of critical lumber products to be imported from Canada without tariff payment. The action is expected to safeguard, not increase, present imports. : TWO: At Mr. Wyatt's request, Reconstruction

Finance studied proposals to lend $54,000,000 to 11 firms, to foster production of prefabricated houses. L THREE: The housing expediter prepared to put in effect a new premium payment plan expected to step up production of nails, an item critically short in conventional home construction. Mr. Truman's suspension order followed warnings by housing officlals that lumber exports from Canada, approaching 1,000,000,000 board feet a year, would dwindle under existing economic handicaps. Cites Export Figure The Canadians, it was explained took a 10 per cent cut on imports to the U. 8. when the American dolar was devalded. Suspension of the $2-per-1000-feet import duty will help make it worth their while to sell here rather than elsewhere. Mr. Reece sald in a statement that “Mr. Truman's action is another example of the administration's incurable habit of doing things the hard way and doing them too late.” He charged that 2,000,000,000 board feet of lumber have been exported from this country since V-J day. It would have been simpler, he added, to keep that lumber at home. The national housing agency reported, however, that imports of all types of lumber are running two times the exports. In grades suitable for housing, imports are five times exports. Imports of lumbber, by comparison with domestic production, appeared unlikely to make much impression. Domestic output this year is expected to reach 32,000,000,000 feet.
