THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES
WAR WRITER'S LINGYUAN TRIP ONE WILD RIDE Correspondent Catches Up With Japanese General’s Division Headquarters. This is the fourth installment of w ni l ed i Staff Correspondent Frederick Whiteing's diarv. written while en route through Jehol Province. China with the Japanese army. The difference in dates is due to time occupied by mail delivery of the diary from Jehol. BY FREDERICK WHITEING United Press Staff Correspondent WITH THE JAPANESE ARMY EIGHTH DIVISIONAL HEADQUARTERS, LINGYUAN, JEHOL, May 19.—Early today I caught up with Lieutenant-General Nishi's Eighth divisional headquarters, temporarily established here. Yesterday I left the village where the motor column had passed the preceding night, and, in a driving snow storm, we reached Yehbeishou. It was a wild ride, over frozen rivers, rocky dry water-courses, end mountain passes. Moreover, the driver of the particular truck on which I rode was delayed by a traffic jam of Chinese carts, and when he was able to go ahead put on speed which, in com- j bination with the rough road, threw about the boxes and human beings in his car. Once I thought I had been thrown out, but landed back safely on the end of my spine. Fields Are Bare In Yehpeishou I stayed in the hut of two aged Jehol peasants, sleeping with them and my companions on their stove-bed fully clothed. The little water available here was so foul that I could not drink it, even after one of the men had boiled it. I ate some snow instead, after trying, unsuccessfully to melt it. My hosts were overjoyed at being paid for their accommodation. What I have seen on my jour- ! ney so far proves that the general staff of the Japanese Kwantung | army chose exactly the right time for its advance. The fields are bare of vegetation. [ and especially the tall kaoliang | stalks which afford such handy cover for the Chinese guerrillas. Sees Many Troops The motor column, with which I have traveled, passed many detachments of infantry trudging along, artillery companies, and some cavalry. It has been an unforgettable sight to witness columns of troops with officers riding at the head, marching over the ice of a broad river, silhouetted against the chilly setting sun, with a lonely Lama pagoda sharply rising from the tip of a distant peak. Here in Lingyuan, quite safe, were a number of missionaries, American, British, German, Belgian, and Dutch. The women had sewn together pieces of cloth forming their national flags, and the Stars and Stripes, the Union Jack, and the German colors, flew bravely in the cold wind. Stays With Missionaries This had been done as Japanese airplanes, previous to the entry of the Japanese troops a day or so before, had flown over the town and dropped handbills printed in English, advising all foreign residents to gather in one place and to display their national colors. I am staying tonight with Mr. and Mrs. Sturt, English missionaries, who even built a dug-out, more or less bomb-proof, in their back garden, placing the large British flag Mrs. Sturt had made, over the top. It has been a great comfort to have a meal or two at the Sturts’ table, the first real one since leaving Mukden. TREES TO BE PLANTED W. C. T.

GIANT STATE MURALS ON WAY TO FAIR

Murals, painted by Thomas H. Benton, being loaded for transportation to Chicago.
After almost twenty-four hours’ work, the 350 and 800-pound mural panels of Thomas Hart Benton to.day are en route to the Chicago Century of Progress exposition on a specially constructed truck. The murals were removed from the building at 20 South Delaware street by employes of the Capitol Transfer Company. It was necessary to cut through the wall of the building to remove the panels, which depict the state's history. The entire group of murals weighs about 15,000 pounds. They were placed, in sections, on a truck, forty-four feet long, with
Smarter Now Labor Secretary Changes Her Hat—Capital Likes New One.
Eil United Press WASHINGTON. May 19. The secretary of labor has anew hat. It is not a tri-corn. And that’s news because Frances Perkins has worn three-cornered hats since she was 10 years old. After the new administration came into office on March 4, Miss Perkins attended congressional hearings, cabinet meetings and press conferences in the same hat she had worn about New York as industrial commissioner in that state. The tri-corn hat, with the little dab of white, became a familiar fixture in the Sunday rotogravures and copy-readers also felt safe in writing in a reference to it in any copy about madame secretary. But that is changed now. The rotogravures soon will be presenting anew and smarter Miss Perkins, and the copy-readers must abandon their old method of describing America’s only woman cabinet member. The new hat—this is a woman’s description of it—is a black stiff straw with a narrow brim which is lifted over the crown, leaving a bandeau. Three stiff quills, two white and one black, are grouped around the crown. A bandeau—for the benefit of men who aren’t posted in such matters—is that part of the crown in the new-style hats which remains under the brim. Miss Perkins wears her new hat pulled down over one eye. Her associates declare she looks much smarter in it than in the tri-corn. Police Seek False Teeth By United Press HOUSTON, Tex., May 19.—Police here have been instructed to be on the lookout for a set of false teeth. A housewife called police headquarters and reported her teeth, valued at $75, were stolen from her kitchen table.
an underslung bed, nineteen feet long, to carry them. All cf the murals have been completed with the exception of that of the sand dunes, which will be painted by Benton in Chicago.

REPEAL LEADS 4 TO IIN VOTE IN 4 STATES In None So Far Has Ballot Been Close, but No Dry Areas Have Acted Yet. (CoDvrizht 1933. bv United Press) NEW YORK, May 19.—Popular expression has been four to one in favor of prohibition repeal in the five states that nave vot?d for delegates to repeal conventions, a United Press survey showed today. In two of the states the vote was incomplete. In these, however—New Jersey and Wyoming—the wet vote was sufficient to insure a wet victory. and to increase the proportion against the retention of the eighteenth amendment. The vote summary: For Apainst .. Repeal Repeal Michigan 850.546 287 931 J incomplete! 416.978 63.147 Rhode Island 150 244 20 874 Wisconsin 648.031 141.518 ! Wyoming (incomplete). 17.000 2,900 Totals .. 2.082.799 516,370 The total Wyoming vote was j estimated to be 50,000 for repeal to 3,500 against. I:i no state so far, as the figures 1 show, has the vote even been close — but as drys point out, the dry and doubtful states still are to be heard from. Although more than 200 varieties of potatoes are listed in the United States, only about twenty types are commercially important.
