‘Hoosier Vagabond

ing his name. Val is a middle name, not part of the surname. His friends cal him Val.. Yet most people out here introduce him as “Mr. ValClear,” : and a goodly poriion of them think it is “Mr. VanClear.” He has adopted the same stoic attitude toward it as I have when people introduce me as “Mr. Pike of the Hearst magazines, who is writing a book.” : :

Clear, like myself, is a Hoosier.

Philosophic About Hospitals

NEW YORK, Oct. 4—1I wish to rise to a question of personal privilege, but in part the subject does lie in the domain of public interest. Once upcn a time it

was a general newspaper practice to give a man a

chance to reply when some damaging charge was made against him. Now it seems increasingly customary to shoot the arn out and let the injured party try to catch up under his own steam. And once a story has a start of 12 or.24 hours a denial ~~ has to be extreraely agile to catch = up with it. =A On Saturday a man named Joseph Zack told the Dies committee that I had been a member of the Communist Party for two years. He said I joined in 1933. Out goes the story over press association “wires and into the columns of the newspapers by which I am directly employed. The New York Times was the only paper with sufficient courtesy and devotion to good journalistic practices to call up and ask what I wanted to reply. 1. have never :seeh.ar Heaid of Zaek ‘tthe best ‘of my knowledge and belief, and I doubt, whether he.is fa-

Washington

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. — Fortunately Senator Pittman, in opening the fight for the new keep-out-of-war legislation, émphasized the necessity of enacting provisions to keep American citizens and American ships out of the danger zone. That is far ‘more important than the arms embargo issue. The danger is that the opponents of repealing the arms embargo, in trying to hold their ground, will damn the whole pending legislation. If . they should be suceessful in the fight they would thereby scuttle the vital protective provisions which it contains. . The situation is this: | Although w= have a Neutrality Act on the books, the one containing the arms embargo which the Administration now is trying to repeal, we have no “cash and carry protection.” American ships are except finished munitions, French or Germen port

straight into any British, which they can reach. As Alfred E. Smith pointed out, the Germans are sinking ships of Scandinavian neutrals now because ‘they carry this sort of non-munitions material. We are exposing our shipping and our seamen to the same fate—the kind of thing that helped get us into

the last war.

Whole Bill in Danger :

Pending in the Senate now is the new bill which would repeal the arms embargo and at the same time lay down a strict “come-and-get-it” provision forbidding American ships from entering danger zones and forbidding American passengers from traveling on foreign munition carriers. Senator Zorah, Senator Nye and the others are intent upon blocking repeal of the arms embargo.

SEATTLE, Washington, Tuesday —It certainly is fun to visit one’s children. I found myself marveling at the strength of my youngest grandchild yesterday.

I hope that the October issue 3 of the Survey Graphic will be read by everyone who can possibly get a copy. It deals with the schools of our country and tries to answer some of the questions which most of us have been asking ourselves these last,few years.

Any of this wonderful WPA art of the last few years can be bought. But nobody— at least nobody in Salem—has bought it. Clear loves children and old people. The children’s minds haven’t closed yet, and the old people’s lave opened up. He finds the real old Oregon pioneers more liberal in thought than their middle-aged sons and daughters. E They tell me that Washington rates the Salem Art Center as among the best four of tHe 62 in existence.

In doing this they seek to kill the whole bill. Perhaps later they would be agreeable to revival of a cash and carry provision. But time is of the essence in this situation for German submarines are at work on neutral shipping in European waters.

If this group were less obsessed with the dangers of the arms embargo repeal, they would consent to breaking the bill apart and permitting speedy action on the cash and carry provision. If the Administration were less determined to get rid of the arms embargo, it would agree likewise to separating "the two provisions. : : It would be in the public interest to ‘do this. Get the protection for our ships into the law as quickly as possible. -Let the arms embargo question be fought out later.

Let's Help Ourselves First

This question is so ‘impoitant that neither side should use the cash and earry provision as a hostage in the arms embargo controversy. Quick agreement could be reached by both sides to restrict American ships from entering European war zones. If the Administration and those opposing it are sincercly thinking first of protecting America, they will put aside pride of position and unite in prompt ‘ enactment of this urgent safeguard for our shipping. Certainly that can by no stretch of the imagination help get us into. war—but on the contrary it is the safeguard in which we can: have the most confidence. | : x

Why bicker about the arms embargo pro and con? It is important undoubtedly to help the British and French. . But it is more important to help ourselves— to protect ourselves against the losses of American lives and property which took us in before. Let first things come first. And the first thing, obviously, is to protect our ships by enacting the cash and carry section of the pending bill, and consider the arms embargo later. .

1. What are goals of our schools? Are they meeting the tests of American education’ in the American way? = 2. Are our children learning how to think for themselves as citizens of a democracy, or are they likely to fall in line behind a rabble rouser?

3. Can we cut across economic and racial barriers

“and really provide equal opportunities for education

for every young man? ‘Som: of us know, for instance, that approximately 800,000 children in the U. S. A, did not attend school last year because there’ either was no school owing to the poverty of their neighborhood, or they ‘belonged to- a family which was too poor to provide them with clothes and books, etc. We also know that because of economic conditions in certain parts of our country, the school year has been curtailed, in some cases only a few weeks, ‘but in some cases several months. :

It is true that some great men succeeded without schooling, but mort of them somewhere along the line came in contact with a great teacher who pointed out the way whereby they might educate themselves. In many places we are giving little thought to the development of great teachers today. We think more about curtailing their salaries than we do about improving their qualifications. A really good teacher can never be paid, and they do not develop well on starvation wages, o> :

Roundup was born. Roundup Is Visualized

About a year before that Sunday, Mr. Gregg and Wallace O. Lee. were standing where N. Meridian St. now cuts through the Gregg Farm. They were talking wishfully about a rehaissance of the best“days of the saddle horse, and visualizing’ a roundup; complete with bands, ban-‘Iners-and, of course, horses.

‘Indianapolis Power: & ‘Light’. Co. officials teday studied a Park Board proposal that the company pay part of the cost of new installations in the City-owned boulevard lighting system. In discussions on a new lighting agreement last night, Jackiel W. Joseph, Board president, fold company officials the Board could not afford the total cost of needed new installations which it pays under the present.agreement. a The agreement, under which the Board pays $40,000 annually for current for its boulevard lighting system and metered service, expires July 1, 1940. Negotiations on a new contract were started last April. About one-fifth of the Board's 66 miles of boulevards are unlighted, according to Park Engineer J. Edward Perry. This includes Kessler Blvd. and Pleasant Run Parkway, as well as White River Parkway, he said, Boulevard lighting has not been expanded for six years, he said. Company representatives at the meeting were Dan C. Hess, vice president; P. W. Ross, executive assistant to the president, and John E. King, special representative. ¥

The Saddle Horse Association was formed soon afterward, a monthly magazine, the Hoosier Equestrian, came off the presses in 1934, and the annual horse show has been an important event on the city’s sports ‘and society calendar ever ‘since. : Girl Scouts Co-sponsors On Sunday, the seventh Roundup will take place, under co-sponsor=-ship of the association and the Indianapolis Girl Scoup Council. Broadly, the founders’ aims and intentions are set forth in the Indiana Saddle Horse Association’s statement of purpose, which is: To encourage the breeding, owning and use of 'saddle horses in the: State of Indiana. i To promote : good among horse owners and riders. To perpetuate the Indiana Saddle Horse Roundup. To further the development of bridle paths throughout the State. To assist in making Indiana horse shows the best in the country. Ideas Are Practical However, Mr. Gregg's ideas are also intensely practical. Here, briefly, is how Mr. Gregg figures it: ‘ The automobile’s advent destroyed an industry which could have been saved by foresight. Au-

development of’ more. bridle paths, Mr. Gregg thinks, will reopen & source of revenue to the farmer, besides providing the city dweller with health and recreation.

up for the State’s annual $700,000 printing work, provided under a new law, will go into operation next month. : Under the new law, printing firms will bid on a specified quantity of items to. be provided to the State during’ a year’s time. Under the old blanket bidding plan, being discarded, the bidders agreed to supply any uring a two-year period. rn 0g The present two-year contracts expire at midnight Dec. 2.

July 1, 1940. “After that,” he said, “department heads will have to put’ in their orders for enough: supplies to last a year. In the past, they could order small amounts . of printed forms to meet their \ immediate

needs.” : :

The new law was proposed on the ground that printing firms, knowing the quantity used, could do the

cost and thus could afford to submit lower bids. : The contracts for the last two years were held by the Burford Printing Co., the Hendren Press and Bookwalter-Ball-Greathouse Printing Co., all of Indianapolis.
