And including me. Or am I being redundant? Anyway, Parrita is one of two new towns created on the west coast of Costa Rica within the last two years by the United Fruit Co. And I wanted to. see it. We flew down on ENTA, one air lines serving Costa Rica. We came Cred Ford. The pilot was an American. been a long time since I'd flown in anye super-modern Douglases of the major 4 the when we started piling into the old Ford I couldn’t help feeling a little funny. And I felt still funnier when they packed into that cabin, designed to hold 10 passengers, a total of 21 people! : Three men brought their own boards, and made aisle seats for themselves. Six people sat on each other's laps. One fellow sat in the co-pilot’s seat. Another sat in the toilet. It sounds terrible. But it was all right. These planes carry many times that much load in freight. La 2 8 = Carved From the Jungle The 24-minute flight cost $2.70. I was the only passenger who spoke English.

TODAY'S NECROLOGICAL nies are submitted in the hope that maybe a poet, of the many around here, can give my matter-of-fact material the touch : of ‘what it takes to turn out another “Spoon River - Anthology. ” Crown Hill is the only earthly. projection in Indianapolis that makes any effort to reach heaven. As a matter of fact, it’s the highest point of land around here, being nearly 200 feet higher than the level-of the river. A poet’s grave, that of James Whitcomb Riley, is on the summit of the hill for which the place was named. The original 260 acres of Crown Hill was part of Martin Williams’ farm. He called his place “Strawberry Hill,” for the reason that on this ground the first cultivated strawberries were raised around here. On Sept. 25, 1863, an association was formed with James W. Ray as president, Theodore P. Haughey as ' secretary and Stoughton A. Fletcher II as treasurer, with seven directors to provide a cemetery to take the place (when required) of the old City Cemetery, the four-acre little plot down on the River with which Indianapolis started. The new association paid $51,500 for Strawberry Hill. It works out somewhere around $200 an acre. In the spring of 1864, Frederick W. Chislett was brought to Indianapolis to design the new cemetery. He was picked use of his impressive work in Pittsburgh. The dedication of Crown Hill took place on June 1, 1864. A week later the sale of lots began. They were sold to the highest bidders. The first day, 35 lots were sold for a total of $11,241, James Blake paid $1500 for his, top price of the auction, Lucy Ann, wife of Capt. John L. Seaton, was the first to be buried in Crown Hill. She lies at the foot of the hill. She was only 33 years and two months old, a fact recorded on her tombstone which also carries the inseription: “Dear Lucy, grant that I may

meet you in Heaven.” 2 2 2

General James A. Farley has thrown some light into

the dark recesses qf the third-term mystery. Explanations of why the Democratic National Chairman is

entering the Massachusetts Presidential primary are as numerous as Republican Lin- - col Day speeches, and not much more enlightening. The most plausible interpretation is that Mr. Farley is confident that President Roosevelt will not accept renomination. - Mr. Farley has authorized the Massachusetts State Democratic Chairman to file a slate of Far-ley-for-President delegates in the Massachusetts Presidential-pref-erence primary to be held April 30. In announcing that action, the Massachusetts Chaigman, Willian H. Burke Jr. said he believed that Mr. Farley’s decision to file as an active candidate had the approval of President Roosevelt. As the State Chairman denied he had heard from the White House - directly, ie must have got it from Jim. . Some ‘have suggested: that Mr. Farley was going into Massachusetts as a cats-paw for President Roosevelt, with the idea of turning the delegation over to the third-termers. 1 doubt thay,

If the game were simply to tic up another state for Mr. Roosevelt, the State Chairman could simply have filed a slate of Roosevelt delegates as is being done in New Hampshire, Illinois and Wisconsin. Mr, Farley has long felt that President Roosevelt should make his position clear well in advance “of the nominating convention. He. #ad expected that it would be done long before this. Mr, Roosevelt has been of a different idea. His reasons never have been made cls authoritatively. However, it has been assumed that at least three circumstances caused him to keep silent.

The Foreign Influence

Second, many around Mr. Roos:avelt thought that his control over Congress would e stronger if he remained in the Presidential picture: : Third, so long as he remains a potential occupant of the White House for anviier four years, his voice is stronger in Europe, ahd i the Far East. It is entirely possible Mr. Roosevelt has given Mr. Farley the wink. The chairman’s confidence is difficult to understand otherwise. It might be thought by somé that Mr. Farlly hopes to run as Vice President on a Roosevelt ticket. There would be no point in having a- ticket composed of two New Yorkers, particularly since under the 12th amendment to the Constitution one of them would have to sacrifice the large electdrial vote of New York State. It is specified that Presidential electors shall

. vote for President and Vice President, “one of whom

‘at least shall not be an inhabliang of the same state with themselves.”

HERE is no denying the fact that the war has developed into a struggle between air power and sea power, and no one is any too sure of the outcome. ! The British Navy is trying to starve Germany by

blockade. German air pow--er is immediately concerned with breaking that

blockade.

No matter what happens, we know the British are by no means ready to take chances with being starved out, if air power’s drive against. sea power should become more critical, The British are on rations right now—and will be until- the war ends. We never will be starved. starvation blockade will ever threaten the United States. We are quite able to support our-

| selves. And no naval power, ex-

cept England’s, could even threaten serious attack against us in this hemisphere. This being true, is it not logical to assume that if we are ever attacked it will be by foreign air power? In such a case, what will be our war program?. Mere defense against air ate tack is to concede half a victory to the attacker right off the bat. The only true defense is to be able to launch a bombing attack against the enemy’s homeland— no matter where that homeland is. | Thats ¥1 we need long-range bombers; such as the Army’s fourengined Flying Fortresses, because our retaliation bombing will have to be done thousands of miles from home. European nations, by reason of their nearness to one another, have no ims 1000-mile out-and-batk is range

But the outcry that “they can’t bomb us” is borne in the minds of men who refuse to familiarize themselves with the phenomenal history of aeronau‘tical progress. 2 ” ” N short, are we visualizing take ing our part in an air war? I think not. If and when this real air war does arise some day, will we be able to co-ordinate our Army and Navy air services overnight for action as a solidly trained unit? These days and years during which we refuse to build real American air power, in the form of a united air force independent of our Army and Navy, will be known as the years that were eaten by the locusts. No one can maintain that avia-

HIGHER FREIGHT RATE ON PAPER ABANDONED

“enough for Europe.

The proposal to increase freight ’

rates on Indiana paper and paper products westward have been abandoned by the Interstate Commerce Commission, H. A. Hollopeter, director of the Indiana State Chamber|. of Commerce, announced today. The action was taken as a result of a piea to the commission by the state C. of C. in behalf of Hoosier msnufastusers. of ,paper boxes, he

Plea was made that Hoosier manufacturers shipping to western markets must meet competition of manufacturers in Illinois, Wisconsin and along the Mississippi River who already have a much lower rate level. It contended that an increase would be a hardship on Hoosier firms and result in discrimination. Indiana freight rates on paper are based on the rates to and from Danville, Ill. The proposal was to increase the Danville rate since there is no production or shipment from that point. The result would have been. an increase for Indiana shippers without raising those of competitive shippers in the Western market, Mr. Hollopeter said.

tion’s top performance is already in the record books. The speed of 440 miles per Hour (made by Italy) stood for years as the world’s top speed record. We knew it was not a final record, but expeCted that it would be bettered by -a few miles an hour. The aviation world naturally was astounded when the - Germans kicked it up 29 miles per hour to 469 miles. The world’s non-stop distance record is now 7158 miles, made by a British Royal Air Force light bomber—the Vickers Wellesley. An American manufacturer claims 10,000 miles’ range for his latest bomber. The world’s best aeronautical minds tell us we,are only scratching the surface of air=craft performance. I can see the engines and the miracle ships—and I cannot help asking what plans we are making to utilize such equipment. : Even if we are the first to build ships capable of round-trip nonstop flights between Europe and America, the foreigners will imitate them. Will we attempt to counteract foreign air attacks against the United States by the joint operations of aircraft of our Army and Navy air services? Certainly not. Long-distance planes cannot be carried on aircraft carriers. If we expect to conduct joint Army and Navy air’ attacks against Europe, why shouldn't we take a leaf from Europe’s book and do the job with a consolidated air force that'is get up independent of the Army and the Navy?

N case of air attack from Europe, our Navy and its aircraft carriers might be able to act as ocean sentinels and warn us of the attack. But our aircraft care riers would be as useless against shore-based warplanes as the British carriers have been proved to be in the early days of this war. Our air power is divided. The Army Air Corps is trying to lead the way to the types of ships and types of air tactics and operations that are in line with - the modern use of air power acting as an independently effective arm ‘of our national defense. © Our Navy is supposed to guard the sea. It is supposed to remain at sea with only enough shore bases to support the Fleet at sea.

acquiring shore bases from which to operate its sea-patrol flying boats. As a consequence, the Navy disputes with the Air Corps as to which service controls the coast defense. Just how far this situation has gone is best illustrated by the Navy restriction against long-range Army bombers from operating more than 100 miles off shore without Navy per mission. I understand that when this restriction was ' brought to the President’s attention he was amazed and indicated that the

restriction would be eliminated
