Our Town

I GUESS OF ALL the people in Indianapolis, 1 am the one least qualified to say anything about the Indiana Artists Show now on view at the Herron. For two reasons (1) Because my definition of art is

; so disgustingly simple; and (2) because my opinion of

artists is even more so. I suspect that my definition of art is a sign of old age. As one grows older one simplifies everything—the food we eat, the liquor we drink, the morals we practice, the books we read and the clothes we wear. Shows that something has happened to us— for better or for worse. Just what it is isn’t easy to say, but I'm inclined to believe that our i tastes have change for the better. For one thing, old men live for flavors and not for vitamins. What's more, unlike youth, they don't disdain the simple pleasures of life. Give them a decent omelet, a glass of matured wine, an honest piece of tobacco, a pair of shoes that don’t hurt, a last year’s book, a contented wife, the softness of a drizzly spring morning, the lilt of an old fashioned song—give them any one of these things and they can capture the very essence of; living. ’

Taking Art in

Stride

.~ Which brings me to the point of today’s piece, ‘namely that somewhere along the line, paralleling “my tempered taste in other things, I have learned to simplify even such a complicated thing as art. I still remember what a terribly involved affair art was when I was a kid, and the time I wasted trying to keep up with the connoisseurs and critics in the hope that, maybe, I could pattern my tastes after their's. Well, I've gotten over that. . As a matter of fact, I've reached the point where I haven’t any use for connoisseurs, no matter whether they turn up in art, literature or music. Least of all, I don’t

/ WASHINGTON, March 14—In the present discus- * sion over revising the Wagner National Labor Rela;tlons Act, the existing legislation goes into the controversy with two strikes on it because of the over-

zealous activities of some Labor Board employees and ; because of the difficulties created by the labor split between the A. F. of L., and the C. 1. O.

The most common phrase used in condemning the act itself is that it is “one-sided,” that it “combines prosecutor, judge and jury in one body.” It is well, as the discussion begins, to recall what William M. Leisersom<the newest member of the Labor Board, and 2ne generally regarded as not only an expert in the field but as being fair and open-minded, had to say. In his testimony before the special House investi-

¢ gating committee some weeks ago, Mr. Leiserson cau-

L»

tioned against jumping to the conclusion that the Wagner act is one-sided and unfair. He said that everything that is prohibited to employers under the

~~ Wagner act is prohibited to them also by the Railway

Labor Law, which has a notable record of success.

Railway Law Stronger In fact, he said the Railway Labor Law goes fur-

_. ther than the Wagner act in that it prohibits: em-

ployers from petitioning for elections among em-

+= ployees. The Wagner act leaves this question open.

For some time the Labor Board refused to permit “employers to petition for elections, but under pressure that this was unfair the Board revised its interpretation. The Smith amendments now proposed would

sometimes even the miiles bog down. . Let’s take the road by sections, starting from Texas and going south: It's fine all the way to Mexico City, and on beyond for about 100 miles. But you cannot finish your drive to the southern border of Mexico. They are working on it, but it’s tough country and the job will probably take several years. In the meantime, you can ship your car by rail over this impassable several hundred miles. But people who have done it- say that thieves usually strip off everything detachable. y : You take the remainder of your car off the train at Tapachula, almost on the Guatemalan border. You drive clear across Guatemala, and clear across El Salvador—about 500 miles altegether. You drive to the ‘Honduran border. And there you are through. = 2 2

Panama Section Complete

The 90-mile stretch across Honduras is not built. ~The 600 miles across Nicaragua and Costa Rica are not built. - Surprisingly, to me, there is a road from northern Panama clear down to the Canal Zone—300 miles, and paved most of the way. - ey The toughest going for the road builders will be in southern Costa Rica. There the mountains are bad, there are dozens of deep river gorges to be bridged, and the jungle is not nice. ie : They figure on 55 million dollars to put:the high-

way clear through to Panama. The entire annual|

revenue in most of these countries is less than 10 million dollars. So:you see there isn't much for roads. The United States is helping. The U. S. Public Roads Administration has had a permanent engineer down here for five years. His name is John Flick, and he bases in Costa Rica. > Also, the U. S. has appropriated: money for many of the biggest bridges. The U. S. gives the machinery, the steel and cement, and the engineers. The local country gives the other material and the labor. Sev= eral such bridges have been built already. My predictions on the road’s progress are these: 1. That in 1945 you ean start at Texas and drive to Tegucigalpa, Honduras. si 2. That if you are able to drive clear to Panama by 1955, I'll go on ahead by boat and be waiting for you in the Tropic Bar with a jug of rum. You'll need it. . } :

the better for the critics. better for me. Which is the same as saying that I have now reached the station in life where one measures a work of art by the amount of pleasure it gives him. By the same token, my definition of :art excludes any and everything that doesn’t delight me. Indeed, I've got it worked out that my delight and my disgust are the determining factors whether a thing is a work of art or not. It’s as simple as that. ” ” ”

Masons Can Be Artists

My opinion of artists is even simpler. For one thing, I haven't the high opinion artists have of

themselves. It’s another sign of my years because the older I get the less. I can bring myself to believe that the term “artist” belongs only to those practicing the so-called “Fine Arts.” Shucks, as far as I'm concerned, there aren't any Fine Arts. All men who make beautiful things are artists provided, of course, that in the making they contribute something that delights me. i : It is an abnormal condition of things wherein we differentiate between good workmen and so-called artists. In a normal society a mason who can build a beautiful wall and a sculptor of images are one and the same thing—certainly men of the same breed. And by the same token so are pictorial photographers and painters. Indeed, in a normal society it is not impossible to classify a” writer of distinguished ads as a man of letters. I don’t want to put too fine a point on all this, but I don’t: want to dismiss it without saying that the sooner we consider artists as workmen, with the responsibilities imposed upon workmen, the better it will be for everybody concerned, including the artists themselves. Well, fortified with my opinion of artists and my definition of art, to say nothing of my age, I went to have a look at the Indiana Artists Show. It turned out to be pretty good—the best in recent years, as a matter of fact—leaving me no alternative but to believe that this year’s judges were pretty good—or, maybe, pretty old.

give employers the right specifically to petition for elections. : In reviewing the technical procedure under the present act, Mr. Leiserson felt that employers’ rights were given legal protection at every step and that provisions for court review were adequate. They are, he said, the same procedures that Congress has provided for elimination of unfair practices by railroads against shippers, for prevention of monepolistic practices, and for abolition of fraud and deceit in sale of securities and foods and drugs. In other words, the Interstate Commerce Commission and other administrative agencies are governed by the same kind of law.

Changes Would Help

When decisions and orders of the Labor Board are issued/ the employer may disregard them if he sees fit. The Board must then go into a Circuit Court of Appeals and submit the whole record and the papers in the case, and show the court that its decision is supported by substantial evidence. If the court upholds the Board, then the employers must comply or be subject to contempt-of-court proceedings. : The Smith committee felt that the law did not give the courts sufficient authority to question find-

ings of fact by ths Board. The law provides that|’

. the Board’s findings are made conclusive upon the courts if they are supported by substantial evidence. The Smith committee majority report recommends that this be expanded slightly. If certain changes of this kind will serve to. eliminate the feeling among employers that the present act does not give them a fair break, nothing is lost by making them and something may he gained. Men like Ernie Weir, who say they are for collective bargaining, but who regard the Wagner act as badly

constructed and ‘evilly administered might have some|.

of the wind taken out of their sails by changes of this kind. .

Goal Is Moral Substitute for ‘Money (Power) CHAPTER FOUR FIRST of all, there is the word “Democracy” itself which is one of those expressions that threaten to become all things to all men, for the term “a democratic form of government” has n- applied to countries which were as far removed from any reasonable ideal of democracy as the Germany of Adolf Hitler or

the Russia of Josef Stalin.

We write about the noble democracies of Greece, forgetting that these city-states were usually ruled by a2 mere handful of free people who brutally lorded it over hundreds of thousands of slaves who had as much share in the government of the country which they helped to support as do our dogs and cats in the United States of America today. Came ‘the Middle Ages and the establishment of a large number . of small ¢ity-republics like Genoa, Venice, Sienna and Florence in Italy and Novgorod in Russia and Geneva. in Switzerland. Indeed, they were all over the place, like “co-operatives” in our modern world. Because these cities called themselves a res publica or commonwealth or a republic, we have usually drawn the easy conclusion that they must therefore also have been democracies. Nothing is further removed from the truth. 8 ” 2 OR a -democracy, according to Daniel Webster, is “a form of government. in which the supreme power is retained by the people and is exercised either directly or ‘indirectly through a. system of representation and delegated authority, periodically renewed.” But even the cautious Webster hastens to add that “even in ‘the most primitive forms, such as the

RAIL ELEVATION PROSPECTS DIM

1938 Order Officially Buried With Date of Next Action . Uncertain.

By RICHARD LEWIS City and State officials said today they were still uncertain when they would be able to begin the South Side track elevation program which

has been hanging fire at City Hall almost a. yeat. The silence which has fallen over the proposed $1,000,000 program, adopted by the Works Board May 12, 1939, has been broken fitfully by occasional conferences between City and State officials. Other than this, no sign has appeared to indicate that the program would be started this year or next. : Echoes of the May resolution, which followed 1938 campaign promises, were heard yesterday when the Works - Board officially buried a previous track, elevation order promulgated in August, 1938. The 1938 order has been defunct since the 1939 Legislature enacted a new track elevation law. It also had been superseded by last May’s resolution. : It was buried without a dissenting vote, a formality which only recalled the existence of the pending resolution. ; . The. pending resolution would elevate the tracks of Indianapolis Union (Belt) Railways from S. Meridian St. to Keystone Ave. and the Pennsylvania Railroad from Raymond to Orange Sts. : The program if carried out, would mean the viftual completion of track elevation plans first outlined. in 1912. It would also mean, according to South Side civic leaders, an expansion program for the South Side: City Engineer M. G. Johnson, who has conferred on several occasions with State Highway engineers on the program, said it is up ‘to the State Highway Commission to begin action. Under the 1939 law, the Commission would bear the expense

of elevating the tracks at Madison|-

Ave. which is a State highway. ‘T. A. Dicus, State Highway Commission chairman, said:

with the City and we have even drawn rough sketches, but it is impossible to tell at this time when the grade separation work could begin.” Under the 1939 Act, the State would begin the program on Madison Ave. The City, according to the resolution, would then launch its program to elevate the grades at 11 other streets which are not state highways. 4 -In its 1938 attempt to elevate tracks, the City was halted by the refusal of the railroads to pay their statutory 50 per cent of the cost. The Legislature then amended the

assessment from 50 to 20 per cent.

Tucker Bet $100 His Suits Would Fit, Officers Reveal,

Charles F. Tucker, Indianapolis insurance agent hunted by Federal and State authorities in connection with his alleged $400,000 insurance swindle, offered to make $109 bets with Illinois authorities who stopped him in his flight, then released him.

_.When officers at Tuscola, Ill, halted Tucker two weeks ago tomorrow to question :-him about his extensive wardrobe and bankroll, Tucker offered to give the officers a $100 bill for every one of the 38 sus he had which wouldn’t fit him. He made this offer to prove that they were his and had not been stolen. Officers freed him when they were convinced that he was a prominent Indianapolis. salesman - who was leaving his wife temporarily.

Had Many Hats and Shoes

It was learned today that Tucker also had with him in Tuscola a dozen or more hats and more than 15 pairs .of shoes. He had a box made there to hold his wardrobe. Neither Indiana State Police, who hold a bench warrant for him on a charge of. illegally dealing in securities, nor Postal Inspectors, who are investigating his use of the mails, had any trace of the missing former agent of the Sun Life Assurance Co. of Canada. While they sought his whereabouts, Marion County Prosecutor David M. Lewis considered the possibility of starting a Grand Jury investigation into Tucker's opera-

tions. .

considerable number of years and even for a very considerable number of centuries. But the moment the essentially rustic elements disappeared and trade and commerce made their entrance, allowing the development of a small group of rich people and a large class of citizens without any property, there was an end to this ideal state of affairs. For the moment economic inequality enters the house. of democracy by the front door, the * expression “equal rights” becomes a meaningless phrase. Quite frequently the rich, fearing the wrath of the disenfranchised majority, insisted upon maintaining at least an outer semblance of something that might still vaguely be recognized as a democracy. 2 8 8 UT that “inner spirit” of pride in a common destiny and a common achievement was apt to wither and to die when the poor

Brazil and vicinity were the scene of extensive operations by Tucker. Mrs. Belle Griffey, Brazil, whose

confidence Tucker won, deeded her residence on N. Meridian St. in Brazil to Tucker for an anauity. He obtained a $1500 mortgage on the property, it was learned. Mrs. Griffey also received her monthly payments in. cash until the first of this month. a

Widow Gave ‘Securities

Miss Anna Laura Barnett, Brazil, was given an annuity by Tucker last Ncvember for real estate which she conveyed to him. - Mrs. Clara H. Marks, widowed school teacher of Harmony, said Tucker “started pestering me about

Jfive-years ago to buy an annuity.”

Three years ago she gave him securities_ in exchange for a. policy and he paid her every month in cash which “saved me the trouble of going to the -bank and which I thought was nice of him.” Tucker spent<considerable time in Brazil and was considered a reputable businessman by residents there. He always took his meals at -the same restaurant there and conversed pleasantly with employees while he ate leisurely.

Wife Still at Farm

Tucker’s- third wife, the former Helen Clair Gatewood® of Morristown, Ind., remained on his 572-acre farm near Danville, which is now in-

volved in the seven civil actions

which have piled up against him. The youthful wife, whose first newspaper interview was given to The Indianapolis Times last Sunday, said that she never expected to hear from him again. Plunged

from luxury into poverty by his ac-

tions and subsequent disappearance, Mrs. Tucker repeated that she never had any idea that her husbantl was engaged in other than legitimate

business transactions.

man no longer felt that he was a living factor in - the political schéme of things. In every other way he knew that he, with his little half-acre of land and his dozen sheep, was no match for his neighbor who owned half a county and who counted his flocks by the tens of thousands. If driven to desperation,; he might take to his trusted sword and defy the power of the wealthy. But if treated fairly decently, he was usually more than willing to let well enough alone and to choose the easier path of compromise and resignation. "For money means vower and it will continue to do sc until we shall have. found a “moral substitute” for this brutal material fact.

Employers. subject to the Indiana Unemployment Compensation Law paid $20,526,338 in contributions to the job-insurance fund during 1939,

Clifford Townsend , todzy. : Benefit payments for the year amounted to $10,216,726 and the balance remaining in the fund at the end of the year reached an alltime high of $34,025,613, the report showed. . Contributions were based on payrolls amounting to $763,614,414 re-

Jported by more than 10,000 em-

ployers. - Relative to field office operations, the report showed that employers hired workers through the 30 local employment offices to fill 83,683 private jobs. In addition 1,041,261 benefit checks were issued -to persons who had filed weekly claims through their local offices. More than 36,000 field calls by Division representatives were necessary to secure delinquent forms and payments, to obtain information to complete benefit claims, to establish amount of ‘contributions owed by employers, to obtain information relative to changes in business ownership and to answer: questions of employers. More than $300,000 in delinquent contributions were collected in this manner, and more than $700,000 were collected through correspondence in less difficult cases. The earnings of approximately 850,000 workers were reported by employers during the year. Personnel of the Division is hired through the Indiana Merit System, administered by the State Bureau of Personnel. At the beginning of 1939, a total of 1042 persons were engaged in employment service and uhemployment compensation work in the local offices and the state office here. Reductions during the year brought this down to 904.

‘Warfleigh Civic Association

To Have Own Boards, but No Mayor,

By TIM TIPPETT

. April 1 has been chosen by War-

fleigh residents for the birth of “Little Indianapolis,” a new kind nf civic organization. : he On that date the Warfleigh Civic . Association will reorganize, modeling itself along the municipal lines of the City of Indianapplis. “There have been civic organizations in this city for years and they never change,” Stephen Clinehens, association - president said. “We have decided to change our organization and use the Indianapolis municipal form of government as our guide.” a “From now on we will have our own Safety, Works, Park, Health and Zoning Boards and problems that concern these boards will be referred to them instead of the oldfashioned way of assigning every=thing to committees. We're through with committees.” it Purpose Twofold The reason for -the reorganization is twofold, according to Mr. |Clinehens. “First it will give more people things to do and secondly it will teach us how the City actually works.” | ” “It is surprising to note that many persons who are interested in civic affairs know almost nothing about how their government operates. After we elect our boards they will. be given instruction in duties of these boards. When a zoning problem comes up they will stuoy it and then meet with the regular Indianapolis Zoning A Board,” he said. The association, however, will neither have a mayor nor a city council. “I don’t think we need a mayor, and a council] would have little or nothing to do,” Mr. Clinehens believes. !

Plan Zoning Substitutes

The only ordinance which the group may draw up in the near future is a substitute to be sub(mitted to the City Council for the present zoning ordinance. “The present ordinance is full of loopholes and does npt protect us,” asso=ciation members said. ; They said that under the present ordinance doubles may be built in Warfleigh even if the residents oppose it. “By changing boundary lines on several lots anyone can get a variance,” the association states. After the “city within a city” 1s completely organized the different boards will hold individual meetings on any business before them and a group meeting will be held ‘the first Monday in every month.” 1 A busy first year will face the

Map Sewer Program

On its agenda will be a drive to get lateral sewers connected to the main sewer which now is being inI stalled. : . Another step will be to get service sewers in the ground so that street paving and sidewalks may be instailed. : Another thorn in the side of resi{dents of the area is the Central Ave. bridge over the canal. “It is an eyesore as well as a | danger to traffic,” Mr. Clinehens said. : School’ children often. use the bridge and the P.-T,. .. also has become interested jr having the bridge replaced. When all these objectives are taken care of the little Park Board probably will have its calendar filled with requests for landscaping. Note “Ugly Ditch” The canal “which could be a beauty spot is just an ugly ditch,” residents say as they plan someday to have the canal, White: River and many of the other spots in the community landscaped. a “We're tired of having people think of us as someplace north of the border when we are. acti inside the City limits,” they say. Many of the civic organizations throughout the City will be watching the progress of the Warfleigh group and it is expected that many of the groups will follow {he example the NV arReighiies hope to set success-
