Teaches Enjoyment of Art

The Art Center gives public classes in many things —Dpainting, sculpturing, weaving. It has a beckoning hand out for the children and the man in overalls. It definitely does not teach people to be artists.

It attempts to enrich their lives by teaching ‘them: to enjoy art.

It Seems to Me

. NEW YORK, Oct. 3.—During the debate upon

- Neutrality the Senate would be well advised to install

8 news ticker and have the facts of international'life read between speeches. Otherwise much of the palaYering will be wholly without meaning. Already the : cogent speech of last Tuesday is a dead duck by early Friday morning. I fear that Congress will not keep up to date, because in regard to foreign affairs few of our national legislators seem

to take the time to read as much -

as the Headlines in the papers. In my opinion Borah’'s first radio address and the broadcast of Col. Lindbergh are by now outmoded by the course of events. The conclusions may possibly remain the same, but the premise has been radically altered. Both the flier and the statesman from Idaho proceeded upon the assumption that Europe was again engaging in a revival of old boundary quarrels between power politicians. But the headlines read, “Accept Our Peace or Else—Hitler and Stalin.” ~ Nobody can reasonably say that this is a contest about the Polish Corridor or a rehash of the terms of the Versailles Treaty. Here are ideologies in conflict. u : » »

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.—Since the neutrality or keep-out-of-war legislation is a specific measure intended to deal with the specific foreign situation now existing, it may well be tinkered with on a detailed basis to ease dislocations to American shipping where : that may be done with reasonable safety.

Already the Senate Foreign Relations Committee has modified . the original blanket prohibition against carrying of goods to the territory of belligerents in American ships. These modifications exempted Pan-American Airways traffic so that customary landings might continue at Trinidad and other foreignowned points in the Western Hemisphere. That seems a thoror oughly safe exception to make. Another change will permit American vessels to put in at belligerent-owned ports in the Western Hemisphere to handle passengers and mail but not cargo. No exception however is being made for ocean traffic to Canada. That restriction will involve a considerable loss to American shipping. On the Atlantic coast, for instance, American vessels carry about 200,000 tons of cargo a year in and out of Canadian ports, compared with 4,000,000 tons moving under foreign flags. : .

Seek Exception in Pacific

On the Pacific Coast, American traffic with

' Canadian ports is about 700,000 tons a year against

more -than 1,000,000 under foreign flags. Yet Senatorial opinion appears to think that under conditions of the moment, that traffic involves too much risk. ~ * Considerable complaint is being heard that the new

"Ana it turned out tney wereht wings; they were shoulder * blades. ‘That's the way a skinny boy's shoulder biades appear to the sensitive fingers of a blind person.

Special Attention for Children

The Art Center goes strong on children. Its main theme is to let them climo out of the deadly rut of drawing only pretty flowers and dear old Mt. Hood. The idea is to break loose their imaginations 50 they’ll really draw what’s in their minds. - And you'd be surprised at what is in their minds. There is one 12-year-old girl who has a frightening flair for painting the sham in people. The Art Center once gave a special showing of her work—a one-girl exhibit of 40 pictures. The Art Center| has more than 3000 drawings by children. Ninety-five per cent of them are bad, and 95 per cent ,of them have real thinking ideas in them. In fact, some of the ideas are so uncon-

; ventional you can’t tell what they are. ny

I've never seen a more enthusiastic bunch than the staff of the Art Center. They all think it’s the finest thing that ever happened. Their attitude is shown by a little story: During the recent nation-wide cutting of WPA wages, the word came around to the Salem Art Center. that salaries would be cut there, too. And the ‘Art Center workers were astonished. They had never thought of themselves as WPA employees.

to whether we shall move into the conflict. It seems to me that much more pressing is the issue as to

‘whether we can manage to-prevent the war from

moving over into our domain. } _ Te be perfectly blunt about it, England and France at the moment have practically no chance of winning. The forces against them are overwhelming. I do not know whether or not the Allies will accept the peace offer of the Russo-Reich alliance, which would be better called a truce. If they don’t they are probably sunk, but if they do they are not much better off. France in some ways may be worse off than England. If Daladier agrees to call the performance off he will very likely face a civil war at home. Both the Communists and the Fascists groups in France have been powerful, although minorities. If they work together they might shake the republic to its foundations or dissolve it. 2 2 8

Back on Our Heels

There is no point in saying that they have been mortal enemies. If Hitler and Stalin can agree on a working fellowship it is even within the picture that Earl Browder may walk down the street arm in arm with Fritz Kuhn. I see even less reason than ever before for the United States to come into active participation. Why make a useless and futile gesture? But I do not think that anybody can say any longer that our neutrality, no matter how fine we spin it, is safe from all attack. We are not potentially an aggressor nation, because the-course of events ' has“ thrown sus: solidly back on our heels and put us on the defensive. The Atlantic, as I have heard, is wide, and the Pacific is even broader. But what is the water span between - Russia and Alaska? I have no intention of trying to be a bogeyman, but I think that before any Senator speaks in the great debate he should first consider the problem of

0 bill makes no exception for American shipping to British territory in the Far Pacific. - Particularly the point is made with regard to Australia and New Zealand. Figures for recent years show about 200,000 tons of cargo moving in and out under American flags, compared with five times as ‘much under foreign flags. It is not a bad piece of business and at the moment seems safe. from German submarine attack. There is, however, much hesitation about easing the restrictions outside of the Western Hemisphere. : Otherwise the restrictions will involve no large loss of cargo business—the real loss comes from cutting off the belligerent points in Europe, and American public opinion appears not only to approve of that but to insist upon it as a safety measure. # ” s

Subsidies a Factor

Cargo business with British and French possessions in Central and South America is relatively small. With Bermuda it will run about 1200 tons a year under the American flag compared with 25,000 tons foreign; with British Honduras, 1500 tons American as against 45,000 tons foreign; Barbados, 3000 tons American and 22,000 tons foreign. These round figures approximate cargo tonndges in recent typical years. We come nearest to an even break in Jamaica where American cargo tonnage in 1936 was 53,000 as against 59,000 foreign flag freight. Among the handful of tiny French possessions in the Western Hemisphere, the freight traffic is trifling, the most important probably being with Martinique where Setioen ships carry about 3000 tons of freight a ear. Considering the heavy subsidies by which the American Government supports the American merchant marine, the ship operators themselves are not left a great deal to complain about. They couldn’t operate at all without the Federal Treasury’s help.

paid the unemployed and WPA workers’ wages be equalized was made today Jby Paul H. Douglas, University of Chicago economics professor, at the Interstate Conference of Une » tion Astin Ploymen pes Athletic Club. : Prof. Douglas told the 150 dele-

WPA wage scale is appreciably. higher than the jobless benefit range, As a result, he said, WPA workers will not relinquish their Federal work relief jobs for compensation.

Recommends Extension

Prof. Douglas also suggested that the maximum duration of benefits

to 16-week limit which now prevails in most states to 20 weeks and that the maximum weekly benefits should be raised from the present $15 a week to at least $17, The maximum benefit payment

maximum benefit period is 15 weeks. State WPA Administrator John K. Jennings said the average, WP worker receives $48.10 a month, and the payment scale ranges from $39 to $95.90 a month. Other speakers today included George Bigge, member of the Social Security Board; O. M. Powell, director of . the recently formed Bureau of Employment Security, and two of his assistants, William H. Stead and R. Gordon Wagenet.

McNutt Speaks

Federal Security Administrator Paul V. McNutt declared in an address last night that America will permit neither war nor the fear of war to interfere with the progress of social security. : The former Indiana Governor also said that “we are united in our determination not to be drawn into the European conflict.” He declared that “Social security in this country is so firmly rooted, so effectively moving toward its appointed goal, that its continuation and its further development are beyond all doubt .or question.

Speaks ‘Positively’

“I have no fear that war or any other eventuality will rob the American people of the genuine security which they have been and are building by their own efforts,” He continued, 55 mE fama NL

“I speak positively. And I do so ;

for three reasons. Pirst, because I know that it is the considered and constant determination of the American people to get’ this social security protection. They need it and they want it. They propose to utilize their Government machinery to achieve it. “Second, as Federal Security Administrator I know that the Federal and state officials to whom the administration of these programs has been delegated are determined to fulfill this mandate which the people have placed upon them. Progress to Continue

“The third reason for my conviction that neither war nor the fear of war will curtail our progress toward social security is based on history—on the experience of European social legislation in the last war. Germany, France and Great Britain were aware of the needs of their people and had taken some steps to meet them even before the dark days of 1914.” “To some people even a state of complete dependence may seem to pass for security,” Mr. McNutt said in an earlier speech over a radio network. - “But for the wage earners of this country, security means one thing above all others—the chance to stand on their own feet —to provide for themselves and their families by their own effort and with their own earnings. “They properly regard unemployment compensation during the inevitable layoffs as a right, based on their own participation in industry. But they would reject any system which failed .to' put equal emphasis on the finding of jobs. That is exactly what the present program does; it places equal emphasis on job placement and benefit payment. :

Urges Youth Counseling

“Americans want to stay out of war and I am convinced that they can and will.” : In his annual report yesterday, Conference President Ray R. Adams told the group that there is a need “for elimination of tremendous duplication and overlapping of state and Federal agencies in the field of placement.” . “There is an immediate need for a system of intelligent junior counseling for youths who have graduated from high schools and colleges without any objective viewpoint. as to future economic security,” he said. “This is one of the primary challenging problems

Plans Projects Over Small’ Streams.

Low bids for the construction of nine highway bridges totaled $276,847, which was $76,773 below the engineer’s estimates, - the State Highway Commission announced today. The largest of the bridges is one to be built on Road 27 over St. Mary's River, north of Decatur. A low bid of $46,962 was submitted by Yost Brothers of Decatur. Other bridges included in the bidding were on:Road 17 in Cass County, Road 27 in Adams County, Road 52 near Lebanon, Road 41 in Fountain County, Road 3 in Wells County, Road 64 near Huntingburg, Road 120 in Steuben County and Road 124 in Adams County. All the bridges are designed for small streams and creeks. Bids were submitted by 66 contractors.

For more than’ five ‘years, the Safety Board and the Police Department believed E. 10th St. from Ft. Wayne Ave. to the Big Four elevation was a preferential street. The signs said so. But City ordinances did not. The Council last night officially made the section of E. 10th St. preferential after the mistake was discovered two weeks ago. Chief Michael F. Morrissey said that .all of E. 10th St. from Ft. Wayne Ave. to Emerson Ave. was supposed to have been made preferential by an ordinance passed in 1934. City records showed the section from Ft. Wayne Ave. to the Big Four tracks had been omitted. “I don’t know how many we caught running a preferential street in that section,” the Chief said. “I hate to think about it.”

And with the crowds came a flood of * Few of the bystanders remembered seeing the first mule car plod up Illinois St. from the Union Station and out Washington to West St. on Oct. 3, 1864. But many of them remembered the mule-powered, lamp-lit vehicles of their boyhood, and chuckled at the memories.

Rougher Then

Regarding our early and comparatively uncomplicated existence, these recollections offered an early solution of a current transportation problem. Then, as now, passengers insisted upon crowding at one end of the car near the door. In this effete age, all the motorman can do is patiently ask that they ‘kindly step to the rear of the car, please.” Back in the Sixties, procedure was rougher, but decidedly more effective. In thoes days, passengers entered at the rear and dropped their fare down an inclined trough to the front. When a preponderance of standees huddled near the rear door, the driver would whip up his mules, then quickly apply the “goose neck” brakes. The standces would fall forward—and down. The driver would explain that “we almost hit a dog.”

Boys Learned Lesson

This quaint practice was recalled by James F. Lynch, investigator in the Indianapolis Railways’ claim department. - He admits that, as a boy, he certainly stole more streetcar rides than he ever paid for. Indianapolis youngsters ‘would hang on the back platform, look around the car’s side and “play engineer.” Frequently, however, the driver would suspect their presence, give the mules their head and walk back through the car. - Opening the door, he would snap is blacksnake whip. And on the first lash, the boys would wish they had paid their nickels. : : It was Mr. Lynch who found the little four-wheeled, 24-passenger car displayed on the Circle today.

In the early days, Mr. Lynch recalled, the single-track system occasionally caused complications. An operator might dawdle at’ the:end of the line, and meet the next car head-on. The solution, however, was simple. One driver would simply put a broomstick in front of the wheels; and the car would jump the track.
