BOOK ‘HERO’ OF CAPITAL SCRIBE JIBESSENATORS Pictures of Chief Character Drawn Like Watson, Indiana Solon. By Roscoe B. Fleming WASHINGTON, June 3.—With its illustrations drawn as near like Senator James E. Watson, of Indiana, as is possible without inviting recriminations by Watson, “Senator Solomon Spiffledink,” latest brain child of Louis Ludlow, for 25 years a member of the Senate Press Gallery, has taken official Washington by storm. Solomon Spiffledink was a young lawyer of Bloomingdale, Ind., who married the twon heiress. She had ambitions to be a congressman’s wife. That was the genesis of United States Senator Solomon Spiffledjnk, who now “stands a colossus in American life, a statesman of broad and adjustable vision, who recognizes that right is always right, except when it is wrong,” according to his creator, Louis Ludlow. Ludlow, many years a correspondent for Indianapolis newspapers, has written “Senator Solomon Spiffledink” as a broad and good-humor-ed caricature of the type of Congressional statesman with easily adjustible ideals. For Instance, when Tony Blister, the Senator’s ex-barkeeper campaign manager, said: “The politician who lasts makes every person and every element in the community think he is for him or it,” Spiffledink hailed the idea as “born on Mt. Sinai,” and forever afterward steered his course by it. He voted for prohibition and defended it, while keeping a decanter christened "Andy Volstead” in his desk for the private solace of himself and his friends. He averted a contest of his congressional nomination, his managers, having counted him in by naming his chief rival postmaster, thereby disappointing the 19 other men to whom he had promised the place. Spiffledinkitis On every embarrassing congressional vote, he retired to a hospital ill, thereby causing Washington to christen any causeless case of illness the “spiffledinkitis” and setting a congressional fashion. He was the best friend of the

farmer, the working man, the capitalist —in short, it was hard to name a constituent of whom he wasn’t the best friend, especially just before election time. -- He answered his correspondence by indicating one of a series of 25 form letters, all written in glowing terms. Only one made a specific pledge to support the project embraced in the letter. This was No. 13. Spiffledink used it just once, and the results were enough to frighten him out of ever using it again. Many Protest The truth of Ludlow's portraiture has already been attested by the fact that he has been accused of modelling his hero after half a dozen different Senators, as well as some members of the House. He has stoutly denied all such accusations. Ludlow says he has shown Congress at its worst, in the person of the plump and hypocritical Spiffledink, and promises to make amends by writing another book about “Senator Jdlin Law, a bold and fearless public servant who invariably does what he thinks is right, regardless of its influence on his personal fortunes.” And the whole first part o ftho book is devoted to the Indiana political scene of 20 to 30 years ago, with many easily recognized lloosier political figures of that day taking part.

The recent closing of WFBM for the summer does not mean a vacation for station workers. They will be busy with plans and work of providing anew home for the transnfitter. Anew building, designed for this purpose, is to be built by the Indianapolis Power and Light Company. When WFBM again takes the air, about Sept. 1, it will have some new equipment and improvements. A Piezo crystal controlled set Is to be added. This will make the station tune very sharply, as onehalf kilocycle deviation from the assigned frequency is the maximum this control will permit. The closing came unexpectedly, as the date had been set at June 15, but improvement arrangements had reached such a stage the earlier closing was made, signing off Tuesday evening. WBZ, Springfield. Mass., on the ether with the Suffolk Symphony Orchestra, 8 p. m. WGY, Schenectady, has two good numbers.

Des Moines. BRITAIN BEHIND France Finds England Has Never Paid Off. Bn XKA Service PARIS. June 3. Digging back into its dusty archives, France has found a war debt owed by the English. The bill is more than a century old and, although the original amount was only 3,534,874 francs, compound interest by now would have run the figure up to an enormous sum. During the Napoleonic wars several hundred British were interned at Verdun from 1803 to 1814. They were of the upper classes and entertained lavishly, but did not pay all their bills. AVhen they were released, authorities discovered their debts to be more than three million francs. One publication in France suggests that the collection of the debt ought to be pressed against England or used to balance the English loans during the last war.
