SECOND SECTION.

‘Hoosier Vagabond

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Feb. 20.—I know a man who is going to get a little present. I don’t know his name. But he is a large Nicaraguan in a white suit, and he meets all the planes at the airport and looks at people's passports and through people’s luggage. He is the customs man. Sometimes customs men are pleasant, and sometimes they are not. But we have been lucky, for through some 25 different

countries in five years the cus-'

toms men have been nice to us. And this man was the nicest of all. He started to look through our bags. He spoke English,* slowly. “How many cartons:of cigarets have you got?” he asked. “No cartons -at all,” 1 said, “just a : pocketful.” “And what could this be?” he said, picking up a long slim bundle wrapped in brown paper. “That,” I said, “is leather.” “Leather?” said the customs man. “And what could that be for?” “Well,” I said, “do you see that girl sitting over there? Well a few months ago she got to making - things out of leather. So now all she does is make things out of leather. And this is the leather she makes things out of.” “Is that so?” said the customs man. He picked up a brown pocketbook off the top of her bag. “Did she make this?” “She Made that,” z said. ”

He M vols An Brdishmnn

He held it up at arm’s length and looked at it. “Hmmmm.” he said. “Handmade. That's pretty. Say, she must be awful smart.”

. “She is awful smart,” I said to the customs man. And he marked our bags: inspected, without looking further into them. So you mustn't tell the customs man, but when we take the plane for Honduras in about 10 days, I think he is going to be handed a little gadget of some sort, mand-done, and pretty, too; something made out of leather. : It took us only an hour and 15 minutes to fly here J

Our Town

‘The Violet Lady (by request): The Widow Finn used to live in a little brick house on the west side of Union St. between Ray and MecCarty. Fifty years ago when I was a boy, everybody . called her Tante Finn. Either that or the Violet Lady.

She might just as well have been called the Bouquet Lady for I remember that her lilies-of-the-valley were every bit as pretty as her violets. Tante Finn's little house came pretty close to the property line in front which left her considerable ground to the rear for a garden. - Measured by old-fash-ioned standards which, by the way, still have their points, it was the prettiest plot in Indianapolis. At any rate, I never saw a neater or more orderly garden and it struck me at the time, young as I was, that maybe a pretty garden reflects the love and tenderness a woman puts into it. Be that as it may, I know that the Violet Lady loved her garden because every time I called on her I found her puttering around the place. Indeed, there were only two times a day that you wouldn’ t find her in her garden—when she took time off to attend Sacred Heart Church to pay her obligations to the Lord, and when she went uptown 10 3 dispose of her bouguets. 3

Some Favorite Customers

She had her regular customers, I remember. Her best one was Louis Hollweg who ran the big china . store on Meridian St. Mr. Hollweg always got Tante Finn’s first and last bouquets of violets. This struck everybody as a bit unfair, but the Widow justified it by saying that Mr. Hollweg bought so many violets—

Washington

Feb. 20.—Expecting to be a shower of the usual political

hogwash, I settled down as to a dismal chore to read the 116-page statement of Republican prin- _ giples, prepared by the Republican program com- : mittee under the direction of Dr. Glenn Frank, chairman. As 1 opened the book, I was thinking that nothing could _ be more futile than: another statement of Republican principles, a rewheezing of the old refrains that we have been hearing for years. Sure enough, Dr. Frank’s report began with some of the time-honored phrases. “Government Spending.” “Made Work.” “Back-Breaking Load of Taxes.” “New Deal Planned Economy.” Evidently he was rewriting some of Bob Taft's

WASHINGTON, drenched again in

But 2 cially Dr. Frank was only setting the bait for the reactionaries in his party. For after a few pages I began to note some strange language. He was condemning trade barriers, and advocating re- - ciprocal agreements. He called them “reciprocity . agreements.” Dr. Frank must have picked up by mistake one of Secretary Hull's reciprocal-trade _ speeches. He would catch the devil for that from some hardshell Republicans. At the last minute, however, he saved himself by slipping in a joker advising that such agreements should be subject to approval by both Houses of Congress.

Some Constructive Criticism

But it was an open-minded discussion and Dr. . Prank became more so as he moved into other fields of policy. Frequent reservations were made, but in

My Day

GOLDEN BEACH, Fla. Monday.—Here I am installed in a very comfortable house on Golden Beach, irr ‘Florida. and our holiday has already begun. The one engagement I had before arrival was with the

press, an and they were all here when I arrived. So, 7 almost before I had really looked

over the. house, the photog-

raphers had their field day, and the reporters asked all their questions. Now they are gone, and from -now on nothing has to be done. I should qualify that a bit, for this column must be _ written, but if I didn’t write it I'd feel something was missing. Also, the mail must be attended’'to every day. So far as social engagements are cone “cerned, or duties of any kind, : they are wiped off my books during my stay here. Spending a holiday is really a very nice feeling, put not having experienced it very often in my life, ' jt makes me feel ‘a bit guilty and I wonder if some- ‘ thing won’t happen which will necessitate my return - to the normal existence of doing things which have to be done.- In any case, I am going to enjoy every day as we live it.

the Panama newspapers. Waiting for the plane at the airport, we had become acquainted with an Englishman named H. W. Foote. We had seen him eating all his meals with a British diplomat in San Jose. He was a very nice Englishman, in’ his early 40s, and handsome in that way of ex-British officers. . He has been a businessmgn in Buenos Aires and Mexico and Guatemala. Being an ex-officer of the World War, he was called to the colors by England when this war started. But since he was in Central America, they put him to work here instead of shipping him back.

So now he is attached to the British Legation |

in Guatemala, and he travels constantly up and down

I can make out his sole purpose is to create good will. : : Ren : A Surprise in Managua We are not yet adjusted to Managua, because it takes a day or two to wear off the strangeness of a new place when you are transferred to it so suddenly on these magic-carpet flights. ‘ Much to our surprise there are two new and very nice hotels in Managua. And further to our surprise,

one was completely full, and we couldn’t get a room, and the other had just one room left. And this

despite the fact that an ordinary sightseeing tourist| j

never sets foot in Managua, because it is hard to reach except by air. Our rooms are on the second floor and have balconies and porches and screen-doors on both sides. ‘The floors are tile. The bathroom has only one watertap, and it is cold. The lake is just a couple of hundred yards away and a breeze whips across all the time. The dining room is practically outdoors, and one end of the swimming pool is in the dining room. The beds are kind of hard.

a bunch a day, as a matter of fact—that it was only fair that he should have the first and last ones, too.

Charles Mayer, who ran the toy store, was her sec- |

ond best patron, but in many respects he was her ‘biggest. one. That's explained by the fact that Mr. Mayer bought as many as a dozen bouquets at a time. He bought them to sell to his customers—at a little profit, I guess. Which was all right because, now that I look back, the Widow didn’t charge enough for her violets in the first place. But whether she charged ‘enough or not, it remains a fact—and somewhat of a South Side secret-—that the | bouquets gathered from her garden brought in enough every year to pay the taxes on her property. And that’s really the point of today’s piece. 8 » ®

A Trip to Germany

Tante Finn was mighty particular about paying her taxes—more so than anybody else around here. For a long while nobody - knew for sure why she was among the first every year to appear at the Court House, but it finally leaked out that it was her pride. And it sounded reasonable when we learned that the Widow’s property represented the savings of a lifetime, every cent of which had been earned bending .over a washboard. In her younger days, Tante Finn had a very select clientele. She did all ‘the laundry work for the bachelors at the Circle Park Hotel—for fastidious men like “Engelbach; the Bookseller, and Heckler, the barber—and it was more than enough to keep her god play in her garden, she discovered that, besides having a property on Union St. she had a surplus, to boot. She took part of the surplus to take a trip to Germany, her old home. And in the bottom of her trunk she put an American washboard to show the folks over there how she had aguited her Indianapolis house and garden,

3 principle Dr. Frank indorsed the purposes and main outlines of the National Labor Relations Act, of the Wage and Hour Act, of Soil Conservation, payment of direct subsidies to agriculture, removal of marginal lands from cultivation “on a sweeping scale,” farm crop loans, protection of farm tenants, and other measures which have been undertaken. To be sure he had some complaints about administration, and objections to some of the details, and insisted that the agricultural subsidy be retained only temporarily until conditions improved. He proposed doing on ‘a temporary basis what he accused the Administration of doing as a matter of permanent principle. Dr. Frank argued that the present Administration has bezn hostile to businéss® but he also. gave his Republican businessmen some pointed words of advice. »

Good Advice to Business

He felt that business or “its less-enlightened representatives have seemed to assume that business is a private hunting preserve, that any suggestion of social concern with business policy or any degree of social control of business practices is an impertinent intrusion.” Dr. Frank reminded them that we have had Government regulation of business-throughout our history under liberal and conservative administrations alike and that business traffic rules are as indispensable as highway traffic rules. He dropped this pearl of wisdom: “The people do not press the state to take in hand problems

2 'n

that are already solved or visibly on their way [1

to solution.” Dr. Frank said in his conclusion that the report was not drafted in a spirit of vindictive fault-finding. It is not a fault-finding job .but the best piece of constructive criticism that has come out of the Republican Party—and one that the Administration can well lake seriously for its own profit.

Until I went over the plant I never realized what a really dramatic achievement this junior col= lege is. It ministers to the needs of one hundred thousand Negroes from Daytona south, and it takes 250 students. The object is to train leaders who will return to their communities and serve their people] in whatever line of activity they have chosen as a life work. Thirty-five years ago, Mrs. Bethune began with five little girls. The first land was bought with the first five dollars earned. This land up to that time had been part of the city dump in a portion of the city known as “Hell's Hole.” ;

Like all other colleges, they still need a great deal |

—a library building, for instance, and many more

books. From this ‘small library in Bethune-Cook-man College, books are sent traveling around into the various rural districts of the vicinity. They need a | substantial endowment fund, a building where better shop work can be done, for at present the quarters are too small. Somehow, I have a feeling that this work is going to grow and that Mrs. Bethune’s dream is| going to carry her people far along the way to better education and better standards of living. Mrs. Aubrey Williams was with us for the day, and Mr. Clarence Pickett came to see me for a little! while in the late afternoon. Both of them took the train north. in the evening, and I confess that a quiet evening was very agreeable to me. We left Daytona about 9:30 this morning and motored down here, stopped to drink some delicious orange juice on the way and bought a swing made of cypress to send back to put beside the swimming pool at Hyde Park. I hope it will stand our weather and prove an ‘addition to our outdoor furni

ordinance, peared to speak against it.

BAN ON NIGHT

PARKING EASED

Council Excludes Passenger Autos From Ruling; Bike Fee Killed.

Peace and harmony, reigned temporarily at City Hall foday and Councilmen breathed a sigh of relief after disposing of two of their most controversial subjects at the ‘Council meeting last night. The ordinance for regisiration of bicycles was killed and the proposed all-night parking ban was amended to exclude passenger cars from its

provisions. Action on several other controversial measures was deferred. These

included ratification of the Citizens |g

Gas & Coke Utility’s proposed condemnation of Indianapolis Gas Co. properties, the proposed milk grad-

ing ordinance, and an ordinance |

changing names of 55 streets. The vote against the bicycle or-

inance was unanimous. It would

di have required a 50-cent registration | SS 2 fee for an estimated 30,000 bicycles | = rms

in the City. Parking Protest Recognized: Council President Joseph G. Wood said apparently the people who would be protected by the ordinance are opposed to it. He added that the existing bicycle ordinance, enforcement of which has been enjoined, should be killed. In introducing the amendment to the all-night parking ban, Councilman Harmon Campbell, Republican, | , said the action would extricate the Safety Board and police from an “impossible situation.” He referred to the storm of protest that arose several weeks ago when the Safety Board ordered the old ordinance enforced. As amended, the ordinance now applies only to commercial vehicies, which may net be parked on the street more than one hour between midnight and 6 a. m. Opposes’ Municipal Operation i At the public hearing on the gas only two persons apThey were Arthur W. Smith, 505 N. Dela-

ware St., who said he owned stock

in Indianapoiis Gas, and James Cunning, 335% N. Meridian St.,, who criticized the City for taking over the Citizens Gas Co. in 1935. Mr. Smith asked Council to aid in settling the issues between the Utility and Indianapolis Gas without further litigation. He suggested’ “it’ would not be too much to pay the Indianapolis Gas stockholders full price for their stock.” Mr. Cunning suggested ‘that a government is ‘for the purpose of ‘governing instead of operating a utility.” . He charged the City Utility District had failed properly to maintain the mains and other properties of Indianapolis Gas.. No definite date was set for action on_ the gas ordinance. Although no bne appeared to debate the milk ordinance, President Wood said more time was needed for various civic organizations “to get together on it.”

Object to Name Changing A large crowd turned out with

objections to the changing of the names of somé of the 55 streets, and

action on the measure was de-’

ferred to amend it by eliminating some of tne proposed changes. Council passed ordinances approving. zoning restrictions for the = Kessler development, regulating the cutting of private driveways through sidewalks, and authorizing the purchase’ of dairy products by the Health Board,

Bogus Salesman Requests

'Break'—Gets Six Months

A bogus magazine salesman was fined $10 and costs and sentenced to six months on the Indiana State

Farm today when a group of indignant housewives and a policeman testified in Municipal Court that he had defrauded them. The defendant, Harry James Berger, 39, was arrested Feb. 12 on an affidavit signed a year ago by Mrs. Ruth Gray, 5821 Primrose Ave, who testified before Floyd Mannon, judge pro tem. that she had given him a check for $2 for some magazines which she said she did not receive. Among the witnesses who appeared in court and told of similar

instances were Mrs. William Haflet, 5123 Sangster Ave.; Mrs, S. F. McCann, 1110 N. Hawthorne Lane, and Patrolman Thomas Bledsoe. Detective Fred Swego told the court he had 34 warrants from nine states for the arrest of Berger on the same charges, and added there had been 1500 complaints of Berger’s activities in these states. After the testimony, Berger, who had pleaded not guilty, told the court he knew he was guilty and ‘asked “a break.” te When the court pronounced sentence, Detective Swego said Berger would be rearrested as he leaves the farm and be taken to Wash-

ington, Ind., to face similar charges.

CRITICIZES HANDLING OF RELIEF INQUIRY

Recent investigation into the Center Township Trustee poor relief administration was reviewed by Glenn W. Funk, candidate for the Republican ncmination for coumy

prosecutor, in a speech before the Irvington Republican Club last night. The candidate asked “what happened to the civil actions so glibly promised by the prosecutor to recover these sums. of money wrongfully paid out by the Township Trustee?” “While we are about it, aren't we entitled to know how much money was wrongfully expended ‘by the Township Trustee? What is the amount involved or don’t they know?” he added.
