Hoosier Vagabond . By Ernie Pyle

- GUATEMALA CITY, March 13—Today we drove

from San Salvador to Guatemala City, over a comDlete section of what will some day be the Pan-

American Highway. The 170 miles ‘took up eight hours, i :

There is a company that hires out .cars for these trips. Qur car, was a camionetta, or, as we call them at home, a station .wagon. Most of the station wagons are Fords, but this was a Fargo. I'd never heard of a

. Fargo before. At first I thought

it was a foreign make, then discovered it was a Chrysler product. Funny a fellow has to come clear to Salvador to find out about the autos back home. 2 It cost us $18 to charter the station wagon for the frip. A ‘regular big car, like a Packard, would have been $30. We left San Salvador at 8 a. ‘m. You never saw a finer day. : Our driver was one of the best I've ever ridden with. He eased over the bumps and slacked off on the curves. He spoke no English at all except “Thank you very much.” All through the trip we kept offering (and taking) each other’s cigarets. And now and then he'd turn and shake his head and say “mucho polvo”—lots of dust. . It is about 50 miles from San Salvador to the Guatemalan border, and it is an excellent road, black. topped all the way. Salvador’s part of the PanAmerican Highway is all open. : » ” ®

Reminders of Home

.- The countryside of northern Salvador is lovely. It is gently rolling, and there are views now and then that remind you of the undulating grape-country of

~ California. ‘There is much coffee, and sugar cane,

and the road is full of bull carts and Indians on foot.

happened to John L. Sullivan— right here in Indianapolis. John Lawrence Sullivan, in case - you youngsters haven't heard, was a prize fighter and the exponent of a science ‘that nobody knows anything about anymore. At 19 he fought his first battle on the stage of a Boston theater when he knocked out a ‘ .pugilist named Scannell who had challenged any man in the audience. That gave Sullivan the idea to be a prize fighter— the notion, too, to style himself “the Boston Strong oy.” : In 1878 he made his professienal debut by knocking out “Cockney” Woods, and four years later he met and licked Paddy Ryan in a bare-knuckle fight for $5000 a-side and the championship of America. It was at this fight that Sullivan’s trainer, Billy Madden, enriched the English language with the phrase “knockout.” The.word is almost obsolete now,

Sullivan’s next big fight was in 1888 with Charlie Mitchell. It went 39 rounds and ended as a draw, On July 8, 1889, John L. fought his greatest battle, that with Jake Kilrain. This was the last championship fight under London Prize Ring rules and gave Sullivan the victs ry in 79;rounds. Three years later, in 1892, Jim Corbett came along and took the championship away from John L. This was Sullivans last fight after being champion of the world for

~ something like 10 years, I guess.

Well, two or three vears after Corbett licked him, John L. Sullivan went on the road with a play called “A True American,” and in the course of time

.he turned up here. At the old Empire Theater, as

a matter of fact. . During his stay here, John L. registered at the

incipient German Gestapo. : Not since Attorney General (now Supreme Court Justice) Stone outlawed J. Edgar Hoover's general intelligence division, 16 years ago, has Congress been so excited about the alleged use of secret police to persecute opinfons ‘instead of prosecuting crimes. 3 The issue goes deeper than FBI methods in the particular Detroit recruiting case protested by Senator Norris (Ind.

Mr. Hoover's Testimony .

Mr, Hoover recently testified at a Congressional appropriation hearing regarding the work of the newly revived general intelligence division, which was abolished in 1924 by Mr. Stone after its unlawful activity had been condemned by leading lawyers such as Felix Frankfurter and Charles Evans Hughes. According to Mr. Hoover:

LANSING, Mich., Tuesday.—We had a-very pleasant trip yesterday afternoon. Much to our surprise, we were met in St. Louis by Mr. T. M. Hayes of the ‘Wabash Railroad. It turned out that he had been with Mr. Frederic Delano for 10 years that the latter was president of the Wabash and for several years thereafter. We

were his guests on the trip to Decatur, Ill, where he was born and raised, and then back to Chicago. He made it a very pleasant journey. It is always interesting to travel with some one who is very enthusiastic about his job and the Wabash is quite evidently one" . of the main interests in Mr. Hayes’ life. His father was with the railroad for 57 years, and he has already 37 years of service d him,

tions such as this are rather rare in the

United States, but the great opportunities for mater-

jal advancement in our country came out several

times in the conversation. He mentioned another

man, who started. as a telegrapher and today, in middle life, occupies one of the high executive positions in ng eg 208

The paved road ends at the Guatemalan line, and you are off onto dirt and gravel. There is a high-arch-gate at the frontier, and a large frame customhotise, right out inthe country. There were lots of officials around in uniform. : Although our papers were all in order, I expected trouble and delay. For theyre said to be much tougher at the frontiers than when you come in: by plane. The customs man hardly looked inside the bags. We were on our way again in 10 minutes. We stopped at a town for gasoline, and went into a little restaurant run by an old Guatemalan lady. She was kind, and tried to talk to us. She had on a dark calico dress and a bibbed gingham apron, Rrecisely as the farm women in Indiana dress. She waved as we drove away. The dust became very bad. Fortunately there was little traffic, and we met another car no oftener than every half-hour. We curved and climbed into the’ mountains, and some views were delightful. But nowhere was the road frightening, or even spectacular. » ® 2 * A Leisurely Trip + We gradually climbed higher during the afternoon, and the air turned from warmth to a sharp crispness. Our speedometer registered in kilometers, and on the whole trip it was never above 60—which is 36 mileg’an hour, Most of the time it was at 40—which is 24 miles. At a quarter till 4 we were winding through the high hills, 6000 feet up. And then at one curve we could look ahead through a cut, and there was the city spread out in white below us and looking much bigger than I remembered it from four years ago. Our driver parked and took off the tarpaulin that covered our bags. There was half an inch of dust on the seat. Dust had sifted through the zipper-ends and into our bags. And now, at day’s end, I have swollen with pride from my normal 108 pounds clear up to 109, just the thought of having covered this faraway section of the Pan-American Highway so many years before you'll ever drive on it.

Denison Hotel. One morning while he was reading the current number of The Police Gazette in front of a grate fire in his room, he happened to look up and saw smoke coming from behind the. wainscot-

suspiciously like the pounding of axes. Then and there, John L. made up his mind that the Denison was on fire. He awakened his brother who was still sleeping in an adjoining room and also a boy who traveled with the show. The boy was sent to awaken the troupe’s manager whose room was on the floor below and during his absence, Sullivan and his brother organized a brigade of bell hops and porters to fight the fire. They couldn’t do much, though, because the chemical fire extinguishers didn’t live up to their reputation.

A Chilly Reception

In the meantime, the fire department turned up with old Chief Webster in charge. A fire engine was set up in Wabash St. and in no time at all it was coated with ice. Icicles hung like fringe from the

The Background CHAPTER THREE IN his recent book, “After ‘the Deluge,” Leonard Woolf makes the following statement. “The kind of lives men lead and the civilization” which they enjoy are determined by the equilibrium or lack of equilibrium between these factors —political institutions, the economic structure of their society and its social ideas and ideals.” :

hollerings for “Peace at any price!” which just now resound so loudly from :all the different Youth Congresses in almost all parts of the country really mean “Peace towards Russia, but war upon all the, so-called capitalistic countries.” I am not writing this in the spirit of the alarmist who is able to detect a Red in every one who suggests that our own system is still capable of great improvement. That sort of silly Redbaiting will get us exactly nowhere.

2 2 ” : HERE is only one way in which we will be able to maintain our own ideals of democracy against all the outlandish and domestic “isms” and “wasm’s.” We will have to face facts as we have never faced facts before. . ’ Being a young and ignorant nation and therefore essentially an

optimistic people, we are very apt to close our eyes quite deliberately - against all facts which strike us’ as unpleasant. f But as Gamelin, the philosopher now in command of the French armies, so wisely remarked the other day, “There is no use getting® angry at facts which fail %o please you. For they won't in the least care what you happen to think about them and therefcre they won't change, but they will remain just as unpleasani as before.” : : 2 8 8 : : Ir we want to live intelligently and constructively during these years of crisis, we should follow Gen. Gamelin’s advice. And before we listen to the easy optimism about “right always proving .stronger than might” and about “the eventual and inevitable triumph of democracy over tyranny,” we ought to examine

the facts that bear upon the case.

During the last 3000 years of

written history, we have accumu-

lated 'so much data upon the problem of “self-government vs, totalitarianism” that we sught to have a fairly concrete idea about the age-old struggle for democTacy: i : : It has been one of the bitterest fights that has ever been fought. And the end is by no means in sight. . : ; Democracy today is no more safe than it was 25 centuries ago . when Plato, having witnessed the fall of democracy in Greece, wrote the despondent lines with which I began this series. . Let us now, following the example of one of our shrewdest modern democrats, have a look" at the record. °

From a simple service, its plans grew with pro for an orchestra, a choir, a dramatic presentation. - The: young people accepted the challenge. They divided responsibility. The colder people ehlisted the Ministerial Association. Bankers, housewives, merchants, schoolchildren and representatives of every organization in the city— large and small—wanted to help. The result was a completely cooperative venture. At the same time, the idea of a simple thing, done reverently, was not lost or forgotten. . 0 The cast was easy to establish. The biggest trouble was the Christus and .his disciples. = So earnestly and sincerely did the whole group féel about the pageant that each felt the responsibility of assuming those roles. Finally a Christus was found, a minister of the Friends Church. After four years he still portrays the part, but only after much inner counselling, did he consent to take the role.
