Yes, , That's Spring You Smell, Pal
This was the day, long overdue. It was spring in the air as well as om the calendar. Azure blue sky, bright sun and temperature in the 50's made this the
first all-around pleasant day since spring arrived 16 days ago. This was the day to be a mail carrier, or a new mother pushing a baby buggy. This was the day to. look out of the winter-smeared office window and dream of bass in Lake Shafer or @ birdie at Sarah Shank golf course. And for the young of heart, tonight, with full moon and warm air, will be fine for strolling with your best girl. The temperature is expected to stay above 40 most of the night. The idyll will be clouded tomorrow with showers, but the temp erature will stay high. By Saturday. Indianapolis will revert to unpleasant normality — showers and cooler.

Set for New Link In City Super Road
. Part of Belt Parkway Plan to Cost $572,000
By IRVING LEIBOWITZ Completion of Marion County's Belt Parkway—the super highway circling Indianapolis -- was stepped up today as state officials
announced plans to build a new!
link parallel to Shadeland Ave., between U. S740 and Ind. 67. State Highway Commission {Chairman Samuel Hadden said the super highway will probably be completed “within five years.” Described by Mr. Hadden as “the best road we ever built,” the new link will be constructed on the west side of Shadeland Ave. (Ind. 100). It eventually will make that portion of Shadeland a four-lane highway with a grass center separating two lanes on each side. «Mr. Hadden said the project was undertaken because of the increased traffic on the road. Two new industrial plants — Westayn Electrig and Chrysler, now under construction—have ‘thousands of workers who use the highway. Present plans call for the new

By United Press J | World War III jitters gripped Washington today after i (an official warning that troops were massing in Korea and
|Manchuria, “and not all of them Communist Chinese by a great extent.” ;
The warning was issued by Speaker Sam Rayburn dur- § jing the House debate yesterday on the draft bill. As he 3 ‘seldom does, Mr. Rayburn took the floor and, after an- i nouncing the Red mobilization, remarked:
“I say in all earnestness that it is my firm belief we are in greater danger of an expanded war today than we have 'been at any time since the close of the war in 1945. “This winning of a little battle in Korea had better not lull the American people to sleep because I think we stand
in the face of a terrible danger and may be the beginning of World War IIL.”
Some Republicans today charged that Mr. Rayburn was crying, “Wolf.” These are the developments which followed his speech: ONE: President Truman at his press conference today declared that the danger of a world war is still great. When questioned about Speaker Rayburn’s remarks,
Mr. Truman commented that the Speaker. was a truthful |man. ;
| As for the Red tobilization—presumabiy Russian—h3 %
‘truthfulness.
| The possibility of War III has reappeared again and V ‘again since World War II, he declared, citing such events as the German airlift and the aid to Turkey and Greece. | TWO: American armor drove eight miles beyond the 38th Parallel today, jabbing at the “iron triangle” where 1500, 000 Reds were reported massed for a spring drive. The column was reported by Tokyo as being self-con= tained and able to fight within its own perimeter indefinitely, Only moderate resistance was met. THREE: British intelligence experts reported that Soviet Russia had given Red China 3000 planes for the spring WASHINGTON, Apr. § (UP)~—Chairman Carl Vinson of the House Armed Services Committee said today the House
probably will vote to scuttle Draft Director Lewis B. Hershey's elaborate new deferment plans for college students.
Korean drive. :Among them were some MIG-15 jets as well as hundreds of craft unsuitable-for combat. The British doubted that the Russians were mobilized on the Manchurian border for any adventures in Korea, despite Speaker Rayburn’s remarks to the U. S. House. They believe that Russians had moved in to protect a flank of Siberia that had become ‘recklessly exposed.”
FOUR: Gen. Douglas MacArthur was quoted by the London Daily Telegraph as saying that the Red Chines. in Korea could be quickly defeated if the United Nations would only “take the wraps off” the war.
A sea blockade and bombing of China's railroads, he declared, would bring Peiping to its knees.
The Far East Air Force said it was ready to bomb Manchurian whenever the command came from. the United Nations or’ Washington.
Washington reports heard in London and Tokyo said that Gen. MacArthur already had that authority.
President Truman at his press conference refused to comment. That was a question of military strategy he could. not answer, he said.
; FIVE: More American troops will soon be alerted— possibly within 48 hours—for transport to Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's Atlantic Pact Army in Europe. prin The alert will follow the ‘approval given by the Senate yesterday “to «sending four more divisions across the Atlantic. - - Two Regular Army divisions already have been ears marked for Europe, the 4th Infantry Division at Ft. Benning, Ga., and the 2d Armored at Ft. Hood, Tex. They will be followed by two National Guard divisions as yet unidentified.
Two divisions already are in Europe. F
