FROM INDIANA

By ERNIE PYLE

UFFALQ, S. D., Sept. 24.—They say that . to eir is human. Which sets my mind \at rest, for I certainly have made an error. It was this way. Some six weeks ago, ‘while making a swing through the drought ~ ‘country, 1 drove through this parched little town of Buffalo, sitting so isolated on the bare plains, with no other town for 50 miles in one direction and 75 in the other. : ¢ I noticed a big, three-bladed propeller on top of a. windmill tower, back of a neat square stucco building. I didn’t have time to stop then, but I said to myself, “There's a municipal power plant, operated by wind. I'll bet it’s the only one in America. I'll come back through here some day and write a story about it.” So I did come back. Drove thousands of miles, spent an unbelievable amount of time and money, just to get this interesting little item. And then when I finally pulled up to the windmill of my memories, I saw that it wasn't a municipal power plant at all, but just an individual one for one house. My face was exceedingly red.

There are only ‘three like it in the whole country.

They first appeared in this country only about a year ago. The Dehlinger’s have had theirs nine months and have never been without lights during that time. The windmill has a generator just back of the propeller hub. An insulated cable carries the sage Y down to the batteries in the basement. The propeller has three long blades, sha just like an airplane propeller. David Dehlinger, the owner's son, was telling me something about the aerodynamics of the thing. He said the wind gave it “actually only one-fifth of its power, and the | other four-fifths came from the aerodynamic shape of the propellers after it got going. The same prinziple as an airplane wing, he said. ; The mill will start charging in a seven- mile! wind. It has a governor on it, limiting the revolutions to 250 a minute, so it won't fly to pieces in a gale. Such a windmill power plant could be used in ohly a few places in America.

All honor to them—they gave what their country sked to the fullest extent. An interesting letter came to me yesterday from a young friend in the Middle West who has tried a , novel experiment. She found her family rather depressed, things were growing shabby. And yet, what could they do? Money was scarce, business was not going so well and they lived in an old house filled with possessions. They grew gloomier and gloomier every day. But young blood was not to be gainsaid. She tock the three rooms they lived in the most, painted them apricot, yellow and blue and had all the curtains and spreads dyed to match. She cleared out all the cupboards and went through trunks and boxes stored ‘over the garage. She sold a raft of furniture and got (enough money to pay for all the changes she was "making. She took beautiful china that had been stored away and put it into the cleared cupboards . where every one could enjoy it. Five auto loads of books and magazines went to

Nazis Hid Much From Olympic Visitors, Is Williams’ View (Thind of m Stier

BY JOE WILLIAMS S 1 have written, Ger-.

" many, particularly Berlin, was on parade during the Olympic games. There were thousands of. visitors and more than 800 news-

paper writers.

It hauled down its flamboyant signs attacking the Jews and stored them away. - Before the games they were conspicuously displayed, even in downtown Berlin—where, ironically, most of the big business houses still bear undeniably Semitic names, such as Kempinski, Israels nd Wertheim. The red boxes on the street corners had been removed, too. These were the exclusive repositories for Der Sturmer, which is the name of Herr Julius Streicher’s whimsical little pamphlet of hate and bigotry, a weekly accumulation of Jewish abuse and scorn. The sheet continued to be published but was not publicly exhibited. The natives know where to go to buy it, but it was carefully concealéd ‘ from curious visitors. This was but a part of the studied campaign to present Germany as a normal, peaceful, -hospitable country. Specifically, it , was ‘a clumsy, obvious deceit to show there was no perseeution, that the . Jew and Aryan walkedishoulder to shoulder in mutual understanding, that all ‘reports to the contrary were inspired by .a lying foreign press. For at least the duration of the games Berlin was the most hospitable and courteous of cites. And not all of this was ordered by the Minister of Propaganda, either. There are quite a.few Germans who still have an honest instinct for decency and friendliness for all people. ncn” .

Diver's Claim of Interests U.S.

~ BY SCIENCE SERVICE

ASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Diving experts of the United States Navy Department here, while yet officially uninformed of the 510foot descent of the commercial diver, Roy Hansen, are keenly interested in the elaimed record-breaking feat. Hansen’s descent, made in the deep, flooded quarry at Penargyl near Bangor, Pa., was possible through the use of an armored diving suit invented by Thomas P. Connoly of New York. Record descent with an armored suit in which actual work was done, said Navy officials, is 410 feet attaned by an Italian salvage company seeking the treasure aboard the sunken 8. S. Egypt off - the French coast. However, they * pointed out, inventors of armored type diving suits have claimed descents of 525 feet and more. Navy record for the ordinary type rubber suit is 306 feet, made in Honolulu on the salvage of the submaThe British Admiralty also has claimed 345-foot dives in rubber suits. King of all deep sea dives is, of course, the 3028-foot descent of Dr. William Beebe, Aug. 15, 1935, in the Barton bathysphere. Dives useful for observational purposes and descents in which the diver performs actual .labor are quite different things, point out the Navy's diving experts. Even in the work on the S.S. Egypt with the armored suit, observation and instruction to the surface vessel was the main contribution of the equipment. Fhe supposed flexible arms and legs on the Italian ® equipment were replaced, during operations, by a straightwalled container with the observing head structure superimposed. From within, the diver directed the placing of TNT charges about the Egypt and the direction of hooks and cables. The device served, in the main, as a pair of underwater eyes for the surface salvaging vessel. Here is the way undersea descents look in tabulation:

Journalistic masterpiete. He was also at the ringside the night Max Schmeling- won the sitting down heavyweight championship of the . world by a heroic display of simulated colic; Kleffel’s piece on this would have done any American expert proud.

An all-around newsman and general commentator on the national picture, Kleffel had little patience for the medieval restraints imposed on the writing craft and repeatedly ignored,

defied and flaunted the propa-

ganda office. He has heen in and out of the concentration camps several times. He had a part in planning the Olympic games with special stress on the broadcasting arrangements. -A month before the games were due to start, his work done, Kleffel was again imprisoned. - The charge? - He had spoken disrespectfully of Reichminister Rudolph Hess. Very, very disrespectfully indeed. He had called him a sweet Nellie, whoops, my dear!

Those who know Kleffel and the Nazi formula tell a story that is not lacking in plausibility. They say he was locked up to keep him ‘from talking to ‘visiting newspaper friends from Englan ang and America. And it seems likely that he was. He would scarcely have been in a mood to wax lyrical over the Third Reich. So, along with the Jew signs . ‘Der. Sturmer, out of sight. Cah 1 was told there wire from 75 to a 100 other German citizens of varying . importance with exten--sive friendships among foreigners,

possible patrons of the Olympics,

who were sent to the concentration ‘camps for the duration of

the games—and for the same reason that Kleffel’s friends charge he was confined. There is no way to tell whether this was wholly true or wholly false. If a man like Kleffel was locked up it seemed reasonable to suspect that others of his ‘status might be subjected to similar attentions. © But if others were, nobody could tell you their names. Perhaps they just didn’t happen to know. -Detailed publicity is seldom given to activities in the concentration camps. 8 a 8 ROM time to time there: have’ been “official” statements as to the mumber of prisoners in the: concentration camps, but these conflict and vary so greatly as to ‘be untrustworthy. That the number is comparatively small se however, admits of no doubt. there were 22 such camps in oe lin alone. Now there is.only one. You are told that Hitler, growing in power and security, plans to... eliminate the camps: entirely, along with. some of the other quaint Nazi practices which gave ~ the administration a bad press in other countries. This would seem to indicate he is becoming concerned about his final standing in the posterity league. ; The analogy may not be altogethee’ perfect, but. I recall how Mr. "AT ‘Capone, ‘having’ created and solidified his . gangster empire, got himself measured for a form-fitting halo, opened a home on Biscayne Bay .in Miami and said, in effect, “Come, neighbors,

let us forget the messy past.” » It was unfortunate in the middle of Mr. Capone's appeal for understanding and sympathy a sawedoff. shotgun dropped from under his coat and the law invited him to Atlanta. ® » ” : OU are told, too, Hitler plans to dignify his movement with a touch of royalty, and it was with this in mind he allowed the husband of Victoria Louise (the Kaiser’s daughter) to set himself up as the Prince of Hanover. In some way this is expected ultimately to lead to a make-believe monarchy — which Hitler or his successor as a Nazi dictator would: use as a gaudy show front in the manner of Mussolini.

POLITICS AS CLAPPER SEES IT

‘BY RAYMOND CLAPPER ASHINGTON, Sept. 24—Norman Thomas, the Socialist, is unique among the presidential candidates. He is getting some fun out of his job. Having no hope of being elected, he is able to speak freely. Thomas isn’t trying fo elect anybody, not even himself. Roosevelt and Landon are getting

‘tangled up in each other’s crop in-

Gatling’s full name was Richard Jordan Gatling, but people who knew him well enough called him Doc. He came here from Cincinnati, but it was generally noised around that he was a Southerner, born somewhere in North Carolina. . Doc was always tinkering with machines while here, and there were fantastic tales floating around even then that he had been inventing things ever since he was a kid. For example, the story that he had helped his father think up a cot- ppg ton-seed sowing machine, and the other one, that he had devised a screw propeller when he was 20 years old, only to find that some body else had beat him to it. Doc stuck around home for a while after the propeller fiasco and then decided to come North. He landed in St. Louis with the idea of a steam plow in his head, and from all appearances it kept him mighty busy.’ Busy enough, anyway, to take long trips away from his new home. :

After that, Doc came to Indianapolis. He went into business here and married Miss Jemima Sanders, a daughter of Dr. John Sanders, which, if you know your genealogy, made him solid with the Duncans and Wilsons of Indianapolis. Anyway, Doc was sitting pretty when along came the Civil War, The Civil War gave Doc a lot to think about, Enough, anyway, to start him tinkering again. This time, it turned out to be guns.

That same year, Doc got in touch with Otis Frink, who ran a little machine shop on the South- Side, somewhere along the river, and together they made such a gun. It had a firing capacity of .250 shots a minute and worked as slick as a mouse-trap. Doc tried to.call the government's attention te his gun, but by the time they got around to it, the Civil War was over. Doc had considerable success with his invention in Europe, however.
