Myr. Peat Decides (By a Hair Perhaps?) That Samuel Richards Did Riley Portrait

By JOE COLLIER

About the time James Whitcomb Riley, an Anderson newspaperman, was ghost writing for Edgar Alien Poe, who then had a perfectly good chost of his own, Mr. Riley wore a long red mustache, He was 28 then. When he was 22 he wore a red mustache, too, but it was not so long. No one knows this better than Wilbur Peat, Herron Art Museum director. Through a deep study of the Rilev mustache, period, Mr. Peat has arrived at a sound conciusion that it was noi T. C. Steele who painted a Riley portrait now on exhibition at the Museum, hut Samuel Richards. In a book on Riley,

| newspaperman,

Mr. Peat concluded that it must have been in the latter mustache

era the portrait was painted, and |

it was then that Mr. Riley was a boon companion of Artist Richards, who also lived in Anderson. So, even though Miss Lesley Payne, Mr. Riley's neice, who owns the portrait and who loaned it for

Ayres Official Speaks

W. Rowland Allen, L. S. Ayres & personnel manager, told the academy this afternoon that “in | business and production, the worker

of Mr. Hoov- | today wants to share his point of

view with the management without job jeopardy.” Mr. Allen said that managements were developing techniques that would permit such employer-eme ployee relations. Indiana community acceptance of vocational training is noticeably larger this year than last and there are double the Federal funds this vear for financing it, Floyd I. Mc= Murray, State Public Schools Su perintendent, told the vocational group. Mr. McMurray said he would like to see the time come when vocae tional departments “will be in cone tinuous commission in all schools.” Such schools, as part of the regue lar educational program, he added, might be able to help industry solve some of the problems that followed the depression, when some induse tries, particularly the durable goods, lacked adequate skilled labor for long periods.

Dr. Robert B.
