Alliteration was used to name some of the teams in the league, for example; Philadelphia Ram-

blers, Providence Rhode Island Reds and Syracuse Stars. Punning also reared its head. The Hershey team used to be known as the Bears, but the players this year decided to drop the “e” making it-the Hershey Bars Names of the other squads are the ° Springfield, Mass, Indians, Pittsburgh Hornets, Cleveland Barons and New Haven Eagles. Thus far, Lewis, who is to be the playing-manager of the Indianapolis squad, has spent his time on the sidelines. He already knows how much hockey he can play, and he wants to get a good look at all the boys they have strings on to be sure he doesn’t release someone with possibilities. These pre-season games have spot-lighted several ship-shape Capital players. Joe Fisher, right wing, is one. He shot the winning goal in last Sunday s game. Others who scored were “Bullet Joe” Bush, right defense, and Archie Wilder, Red Keating and Carl Liscombe, all left wings. Liscombe is trying to connect th the Red Wings, and although |is the Capitals have him under contract, it is understood that he will be able to get a release if the Detroit club wants him. Even if he goes the Capitals still will have more left wings than a restaurant chicken dinner.

BUSINESSMEN LEARN TO FLY, BUT ON 'Q. T.

Husbands Soar “ncognite’ To Surprise Wives With Prowess.

By SAM TYNDALL

Lunch time is supposed to be the period when Mr. Indianapolis Business Man goes out to eat.

That may be true for a good many businessmen. It's not true And the real truth is that

learned to fiy while their wives have casually assumed the men were eating their lunches. The Mrs. could object, vocally and strenuously, if she-learned that the Mr. was up in the clouds maneuvering an airplane. She can’t very well object if sh: doesn’t know anything about it. All of which is by way of leading up to the fact that there are several husbands these days who are behind the control of a training ship during lunch hour. Bob Shank, who has given flying lessons to more than 300 students this year, admits there are some husbands fiying “incognito” at his Hoosier Airport school. Of course he won‘t reveal their identity. _ “When the wives finally do discover their husbands are accomplished airmen,” he said, “they are a little surprised but not angry. The husbands soon prove how safe and simple the whole thing is.” The idea works the other way, too. There is one wife who “sneaks out” to a local airport several times a week to take lessons, while her husband believes she is home knitting, out shopping or making a fourth at bridge. .

The “mystery” student pilot is revealed every once in a while. Harold Messersmith learned to fly at the Hoosier during his lunch hour when he worked at the County Treasurer’s office. He didn’t tell his wife until many weeks later. Flier Messersmith, who now is bailiff in Criminal Court and Democratic ward chairman in Lawrence Township, said she didn’t learn until after he had his solo license. Mrs. Messersmith “didn’t care anyway when she found out,” and the Messersmithh farm is going to be turned into a private landing field for the plane Pilot Messersmith hopes to -buy after he has enough hours to get his private license. A new $53,00 improvement program at Stout Field, headquarters for the 38th National Guard Division observation squadron, will get under way Monday. Maj. Oliver Stout, squadron com- ‘| mander, said the improvements, to be carried out with WPA labor, include new brick veneer walls on the building which now houses the photo section, restaurant and medical department, and "a new roof and additional “stalls” in the motor garage. Boundary lights also will be moved out to enclose a new sec-

tion of 10 acres added to the field|

earlier this year. 2 8 = The Reserve air units stationed at Schoen Field, Ft. Harrison, like other branches of the U. S. Army, will soon begin an intensified winter training program, Capt. John H. Dulligan, acting commander of the field, said details of the new program for about 45 Reserve pilots in and around Indianapolis, will be announced next week.

The date for the showing of the film “Wings Over Indianapolis” has been changed from next week to Noy. 13. The picture, prepared under sponsorship of the Indianapolis - Aero Club, will be shown first at the Vogue Thaeter. Walter B. Smith, club president, said he is trying to obtain Col. Roscoe Turner as speaker for the club’s next meeting Nov. 7.

8 = »

Col. Turner will bring two of his planes, a tri-motored Stinson and a Lockheed monoplane, here next week as the first step in the establishment of his air college. The Lockhead is to be flown here from the West Coast by Lieut. Joseph Mackay, former instructor at Randolph Field, who is to be chief instructor here for Col. Turner.

Radio ‘Ray’ Play Strikes Terror

CHARLESTON, S. C. Oct. 28 (U. P.).—A fictional radio play, describing experiments with an “anti-aircraft defense ray” in the Santee Swamps, struck terror in the ‘imaginations of several hundred listeners here last night and had many of them running from their homes in night clothes. The “ray” was described as a terrible thing which ‘destroys all matter, even atmosphere,” and in the course of the play, the “ray” was supposed to have gotten out of control and sucked up the earth’s supply of air. creating terrific. winds. The play was interrupted seven times for announcements that it was all fiction but before it was over a rumor was circulating that the PWA’s Santee dam, under ~ construction 40 miles north of here, had been blown up. The: radio station received more than 600 terrified telephone inquiries and’ newspapers several hundred more. The play, entitled “Palmetto Fantasies,” was written by John v 2 Muins of the station wesc sta

RASKOB, BROWN TO TAKE STAND

General Motors. Directors Called in Anti-Trust Trial At South Bend.

SOUTH BEND, Ind. Oct. 28— John J. Raskob and Donaldson Brown, General Motors directors, will testify Monday in the Government’s trial of the corporation in

Federal Court here. : The defense counsel made this announcement yesterday as Judge Walter Lindley adjourned court for the week-end. John .J. Schumann Jr., Montclair, N. J.,, General Motors Acceptance Corp. of Indiana president, testified yesterday. The Government has charged General Motors, the G. M. A. C, two affiliated corporations and 17 individuals with violation of the anti-trust laws. Mr. Schumann said G. M. A. C. policies would make it’ possible for General Motors to sell more cars and that it would make G. M. A. C. services available at the lowest possible cost. He said that in developing new finance plans it was considered whether it would enable General Motors to widen its market and whether the plan would be good for both dealers and public. Before a new plan was used, he added, General Motors Corp. investigated it. Like Nelson C. Dezendorf, vice president of G. M. A, C.,, who preceded him on the stand, Mr. Schumann said he had no voice in the selection of General Motors dealers nor in the cancellation of franchises.

Mussolini appeared on the lcony 12 times in response to the frenzied cheers of a crowd . estimated at 40,000.

U. S. Needs Russian Help As Check on Japan In Far East.

By LUDWELL DENNY - Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Because the United® States sends a sharp note to Russia in the 8S. 8. City

lof Flint dispute and starts a Red

hunt here, it does not follow that there will be a break between the

two Governments, as some assume. On the contrary, President Roosevelt probably will. continue to court Russian - friendship. "Not that the i President has a soft place in his heart for the Soviet. He hates it. Buk, unlike the American people, Mr Denny ~ po cannot afford the luxury of showing his hatred. Foreign policy is not based on likes and dislikes, but on national in=terests. And American national interests now are very much de Percent upon Russian co-operas on. There is no mystery about it. The

President’s chief worry is in the

Pacific. That is why our fleet and main air force are there. :

We Need Russia

Japan continues on the loose in China. She is penetrating the Philippines. With Great Britain

and France defending themselves in a European war, the United States is left holding the bag in the Far East. That increases the possibility of a clash between the United States and Japan. There is where Russia enters the picture. She holds the balance of power inthe Par East. So long as Russia continues to challenge Japanese imperialism, Russia is the silent. though actual ally of the United States. Thus Russia and the United States are the only two nations left which are helping China in her war of self-defense against Japan—Britain and france have pulled out. i Russia’s~ pro-American policy, therefore, is generally recognized as the most potent peace factor in the Pacific. If Moscow should reverse that policy and make an ime perialistic deal with Tokyo to divide China, about the only choice left the United States would be to get out of the Far East ‘or to get into a losing war. Doubtless we would get. out—as rapidly as grace would permit. But that might not be rapidly enough to escape war over the Philippines.

Russia Holds Power -

So the President will not let the City of Flint dispute or anything eise break Amerigan-Russian relations, if he can help it. There is another good reason for this. Russia also holds the bdlance of power in the European war. That is why Fuehrer Hitler had to reverse® Nazi policy and crawl on his hands to the hated Comrade Stalin for crumbs. - That is why Mr. Chamberlain, with all his hatred for Stalin, is try= ing to win the war by buying Rus= sian neutrality. Anyone who doubts these dizzy facts has only to read Chamberlain’s Thursday speech to the House of Commons actually des fending Russia’s seizure of eastern Poland—in the ancient history of September, 1939, a British Governe ment declared war “to protect Po= land.” For the same reason that Chame berlain is seeking Russian friendship, President Roosevelt is trying to retain Russian friendship; to’ keep Hitler from winning the war. If Hitler can persuade Stalin to join him in the war against Britain, the Allies probably will lose the war, In the present many-sided diplomacy of maneuver for position, as in the eventual peace negotia< tions, the Allies count on the “neutral” Roosevelt to help them with the “neutral” Stalin and “neutral” Mussolini. So the Rooseveltian policy both in the Far East and in Europe seems to call for closer rela= tions with Russia, regardless of the President's attitude iowa Come munism.
