Equipped with an undisclosed number of machine guns and cannons and carrying a crew of six, the bomber recdtitly has sunk numerous British ships far out in the Atlantic," these sources said. (Plane raids on convoyed ships In the Atlantic Ocean lor off the Irish coast have been announced with increasing frequency by the' British.) De-Icing equipment, It was reported, will enable the craft to cirry out attacks in all weather conditions.

Details of the ship, called the Focke-Wulf courier, were withheld, but it was said it had been developed from the FW 200 Condor, a commercial plane which made flights to New- York and Tpkyo beiVrt the war. Coincident with the disclosure of the new plane, DNB (official German News Agency) said the British battleship Malaya had reached Gibraltar with evident signs of damage inflicted during a raid by Axis planes on a British convoy Jan. 10. Efforts had been made lo hide the damage with wooden structures and replating. the News Agency re ported.

There was some conjecture the new plane had taken part in that raid in which the aircraft carrier Illustrious also was damaged and the cruiser Southampton lost. Docks, wharves and storehouses at the South Wales port of Swansea were set afire by German bombers in last night's raids on England, informed sources declared today. More English ports were reported mined. Otherwise, it was said, the Luftwaffe's operations over England during the night were limited to "armed reconnaissance." No British aerial activity waa reported over Germany. The General Staff of the German air force declared today that only one German plane waa lost in the bomb attack Thursday on i Malta in which new damage was said to have been done to the Brit I ish aircraft carrier Illustrious.

(The British said ten Axis planes wera I shot down during the raid.) i A German submarine was cred-1 Ited by the High Command with sinking 29,000 tons of merchant shipping. The ships sunk were not I identified. I COAL FIRM SUIT CLOSES SCHOOLS Mt. Carmel Twp. Offldl Seek New Classrooms for 100 Students SUNBtfRY, Jan.

Hoo1 officials of ML Carmel Township sought new classrooms todsy for more than 100 students whose two school buildings havs been ordered closed because of coil company's lawsuit. The order was Issued yesterday by Judge H. W. cummlnga In equity proceeding instituted by the Philadelphia and Reading Coal end Iron Company. It is effective February 1.

The compeny, in its suit entered last July, contended the district's budget appropriation was excessive and demanded that (he distUcfs tax levy be reduced from a proposed 33 to 24 mills. In his order, Judge Cummlngs pronlbited the district from levying taxes in excess of 30.85 mills; slashed 10 per cent from the district's budget for transportation of students: disallowed a $1,239 appropri ation for cafeteria equipment and a $4,800 appropriation for a new fur nace and said that the dletrfct did not require the services of general nurse. Through the dismissal of 11 teachers six of whom were employed in the elosed schools of Merrlam and Beaverdale the court seid the district will save $9,951 in salaries. District officials pointed out that five additional teachers wilt have to be dismissed and this coupled with the transfer of students from the closed schools will necessitate nearly a complete reorganization of classes. we want to live before us a world in which Individual freedom exists.

UBORlOARO MAYACTONFORD 3 Would Require Reinstate' ment of 1,0,21 Workers At Kansas City WASHINGTON, Jan. U.

AP A proposed order which would re quire the Ford Motor Company to reinstate with back pay 1,031 work ers at its Kansas City plant was Issued today by the Labor Board. The company had been accused of discriminating against the work, ere because of their union activities. The board's announcement termed the decision "tentative. The proposed order is based on tentative findings alleging that the plan refused to reemploy 975 workers and discriminated against strikers to discourage membership in the AFL's United Auto Workers union during the fall of 1937. The board said the company and the union would heve 30 days to Ale exceptions and briefs and 20 days to request oral argument before a final order ia Issued.

In addition, the proposed order would require the company to "cease discouraging membership" in the AFL union and to dis-establish the Independent Union of Ford Workers. The War Today (By DEW ITT MACKENZIE) As Britain epproaches her further trial by, sword in the hands of Hitlera supreme effort to crush the island kingdom itself one gains the very definite impression that it ia a new nation, with a fresh unity of purpose, which Is facing the coming blitzkrieg. The fierce struggle for survival, which all classn of society have been thrown together for the common defense as never before, has made of the British Isles a vast melting-pot. From this is likely to emerge a new social and economic structure. "I don't mean to suggest that we are to expect a Utopia in which the duchess and the stable bay, the duke and the scullery-maid, will be dancing together with the crowd on the village green.

Still, it signs read true this new social order will reflect more nearly that equality and fraternal understanding which daily is being exemplified in the shoulder-to-shoulder battle for existence. That means a great change In England. Honesty and frankness compel acknowledgement that class distinctions, and inequality of privileges, have been great in the past However, there are no class differences or inequality of privileges when it comes to common effort in digging or victims buried by bombing, the sharing of underground shelters, and the partaking of food from humble community kitchens. Britain has not, since her full nationhood, stood so close to death ax she has during the past nine mr.ntlis. In that time she has learned that bombs are no respecters of persons; that privation isn't the cross of any special class; and that in short, if a nation ia to survive It must adhere to the principle of one for all and all for one.

Other nations are learning these truths in a hard way. too. I am confining my remarks to Britain because in recent days there has been striking public recognition in England of this need of a remoulding of society. One of the first signals of this changing order came recently from Ernest Bevin. He is minister of labor, leader of the labor party, and secretary of the Great Transport and General Workers Union.

His admirers often speak of him as a future prime minister. In a public address Bevin stated that his war aim is social security. "That doesn't mean that all profit and surpluses must be wiped out," he said, "but it means that the whole economic life should be devoted to giving security. Not to the small middle class, but to the community as a whole. "It is better to leave the masses untaught than to give them a double appetite, both of stomach and of head, and then not satisfy either.

Things can never be as they were. I don't believe the Germans will take it like the British are taking it." Stinuon, who preceded Knox before the committee, repeated time after time his contention that quick pessage of the legislation was necessary to United States defense plans. "1 cannot stats too emphatically," he said, "the apprehension I (eel as to the possibility of a crisis, which I think even my friends on the right (waving toward the Republicans) would recognize as a crisis, within the next or at most 90 days." Outside the committee. Senator Gillette D-Is) eald in a radio speech that if he. believed Great Britain 'actually was fighting our war tomui'tuw and would want to "go to her assistance with all our power, men and resource Senator Byrnes aUo speaking over the radio, called for passage of the Letullcae bill and said "if Britain can hold Hitler for 4 year, we can hold him forever." Word of the probable nature of Kennedy's radio speech tonight came as a surprise to soma legis lators who had indicated they ex peeled him to criticize the administration's foreign policy.

FARM SHOW HARRISBURQ.

Jen. 18. Pennsylvania's huge farm show building buzzed with activity today as offlciala and exhibltora set the stage for the 2sth annual show opening Monday. Secretary of Agriculture John H. Light estimated 500,000 persons will Jostle through the corridors of the 14-acre building before the curtain rings down on the five-day show Friday.

Meantime, hundreds of workers made ready today the exhibits and displays which highlight the year for the farm folk of Pennsylvania's 87 counties. Scores of head of prize dairy cattle, blue ribbon beef cattle, sheep and hogs were already In their pens and a medlcf of cackles and crows announced first arrivals of poultry. In other parts of the building, a vast array of some economics exhibits, including foods of all kinds, colthing and sketches of home management were set up near the displays of grains, fruits and vegetables. Intermingled with exhibits from farm folk will be scores of exhibits for them machinery, household equipment and all the late Innovations designed to make farming more profitable and larm life more comfortable. In all, officials said, more than 10.008 exhibitors will display their products.

In conjunction with the show, between 8.000 end 7.000 vocational students will hold exhibits, demonstrations and meetings with the climax coming Tuesday at the en- nual Future Farmers banquet when 75 boys will be awarded the de gree of "Keystone Farmers." At the same time more than 80 vocational agriculture school boys will be Awarded medals as place winners in the annual vocatidnal agriculture state project contest The old age has passed, a new age has to be built." Thus spoke the laboring man. And shortly along came the aristocrat Premier Winston Churchill, through whose veins runs the bluest blood In Britain. In a speech at the ancient and exclusive public (we call it private in America) school of Harrow, Cruhchill said: 'When this war is won, as it sure ly will be, it must be one of our aims to establish a state of society where the advantages and privileges which hitherto have been enjoyed by only the few shall be far more widely shared by the men and youth of the nation as a whole." To get the full significance of such a statement you must know your England. The great public schools like Harrow and Eton have represented the last word in aristocracy. It has been harder (if not impossible) for a ptebian to get in to one of these schools than for the camel to puss through the needle's eye.

When I first went to England 35 yeara ago, public school boys almost invariably wre given prefer ence when seeking employment, This was not because they were smarter than the graduates of com mon schools, but oecause they represented the aristocracy. That same pattern ran pretty much through the whole social, political and economic life ol the country. Since uie world war there haa been a considerable change, but it has taken the present threat of extinction lo product such astonishing declarations aa I have quoted, and such as contained in a recent letter to the London Times by the country's Protestant and Roman Catholic leaders. These religious figures, in outlining what they termed tht only permanent basis tor lasting peace, urged five standards, wnlch eluded these two.

The governor said relief rolls were reduced by one-third in 1930 and "today it Is about half of what It was when the Admin Is tratiol began." James listed as accomplishments, bearing out his pledges: 1. "Divorcing politics from relief." 2. "Helping" the anthracite industry by bringing about with the help of operators and union men a voluntary tonnage allocation plan.

3. "Deflllnn alraiatht from Ihe shoulder with the liquor question by "uprooting the rackets which we inherited." 4. "Fewer strikes" and belter labor conditions as a result of hit labor policy. James asserted he had "adhered" to his promises, steered "a course of economy and as a result, state's credit and financial position were never better." We are rapidly approaching the time when Pennsylvania can buck another trend of most governments by reducing instead of increasing taxes," the governor said, repeating a prediction made in his address to the 1941 Legislature. Reduction might be a reality within two or three years he said at that time.

James declared he hopped 2.000 jobholders from the payroll and abolished their jobs, that "there has been no breath of scandal" in his administration, and called upon the offlelals of his administration "lo weary not in well-doing." dsy.

PILOTS Continued from Paga 1 on the return from only a halt-dozen students. There seems to be nothing Jn the picture at present which will work in Indiana's favor. In fact there are elements which may make it even 'more probable that the city will J)o its pilot training course. I. One of these is a possible emphasis on secondary-rather than primary -training.

During the current fiBcal year CAA emphasis has been on primary Instruction and by July 1 it will have turned out about 45,000 graduates of primary courses and about 9,000 graduates of secondary courses. Present indications are thai a relatively higher number of secondary students may be trained In the next fiscal year even under the reduced budget. This would mean that an even greater reduction than the one-third CAA now hopes to gel by with would be necessary in primary courses. Secondary Instruction la given In heavier and more expensive planes and requires ihj wr vices of an instructor certified by CAA to give such traiping. Qualified secondary instructors are not too plentiful and the supply is diminishing every day, it wag pointed out, due to enlistments In military service, employment with airlines, and other causes.

If emphasis Is to be on secondary Instruction during the coming fiscal year. It was stated, the tendency will be to develop those training penooia which are already equipped to give advanced instruction. This will operate even more strongly against the chances of small schools not equipped for secondary courses such aa that at Indiana continu ing. There i a possibility, of course, that Congress may disregard the President's recommendations in the budget message and continue the civilian pilot training worn on the level of this fiscal year. In that cane Indiana would stand an even chance wuh all other schools of maintain' mg its present course.
