The justice department said the Marion (Ind). company was charged with turning out de fective wire in meeting $6,000,- 000 in government orders. Some of its wire went to Russia, an official said, resulting in a Sov iet complaint, while the U.

Norris (Ind., Neb.), making one of his last ap pearances as a public official, told the supreme court bar to day that the life of his friend, the late Justice Louis Dcmbitz Brandeis, "shines as a . beacon like in the world of hope." Addressing the court at a me morial meeting for the judge who died last year just before the fall term opened, Norris said Brandeis' work and life will be "an Inspiration to those who have never seen his face nor heard his words." Norris, defeated for re-election last month, was one of the senators who voted in 1916 for confirmation of Brendeis "at torney for the people." He re called that even oustanding sen ators indulged in a "bitter, un reasonable and unconscionable" attack on Brandeis then in "one of the bitterest fights that was ever waged in that body."

"This is one of the most repre hensible cases of defrauding the government and endangering the lives of American soldiers and sailors ever to come to the attention of the department of justice," Biddle declared in a formal statement. "I can conceive of nothing more vicious, or treacherous, than deliberately supplying our armed forces with defective war material; and I am inform ed that only the alertness of government inspectors and the promptness with which the war frauds unit and the FBI investi gated complaints in this case has prevented enormous quantities of defective wire and cable from being transported to our troops overseas." The justice department char ged the defendants "secretly installed," behind sliding pan els under test tables, mechan isms that enabled the passing of inferior or defective mater ials. Over 11,000 Indians In Fighting Forces Washington, Dec. 21 (IP) More than 11,000 ot the United States' 400,000 Indians entered the fighting forces, the Interior department's Indian service re ported today.

Now, he added, Indian women have "learned to drive tractors and trucks, repair heavy auto motive equipment, work in laundries and power plants, and assist in the cattle and sheep round-ups." One, identified only as "a wealthy Kiowa Indian woman of Cement, Okla.," did her part, the service said, by giving $1,000 to navy relief by means of a check "signed with a thumb print."

Axis Planning All Out Fight To Hold Tunisia (Continued from page 1) Sirte Reported Reached The main eighth army pushed steadily westward as fast as the engineers could clear the mine field the Germans and Italians had laid along the entire route. At Sirte, Rommel had reached the beginning of a scries of deep dried river beds or wadis which are useful for defense. But a notation in the commun ique that allied fighter planes were attacking enemy transport in the 50-mile area westward of Sirte, as far as Bucrat el Hsun, as well as the statement that the enemy withdrawal continued in dicated that Rommel was intent only on reaching Tripoli and Tu nisia, 300 miles west of Sirte. 20 Tanks Lost , Cairo dispatches reported that even though a German armored force escaped a trap between the Marble Arch airdrome and the Matratin area west of El Agheila, it lost 20 tanks out of a possible 80 which Rommel possessed; 30 guns, several hundred vehicles destroyed and many damaged, in addition to 500 prisoners. In Tunisia, French forces cap tured the important town of Pi chon, 50 miles inland from the axis-held port of Sousse on the east coast, and apparently con tinued their advance. Advices from Spain said Ger many hoped to use the new for bidden zones on the French Me diterranean coast as a jumping off place for airplanes and ships carrying reinforcements to Af rica.
