MEXICO CITY, May 12, 1936.—The American Ambassador got wind of my being in town, and had his secretary call up.

“You must have tea with the Ambassador and Mrs. Daniels tomorrow,” said the secretary. I said I was leaving early the next morning. But it appeared the Ambassador was wringing his hands and simply wouldn't live through it if I didn’t come to tea, so I said, “Oh, all right, I'll come.” I sat up late jotting down sentences I could use to open the conversation and get things started off smoothly, such as “Well, Mr. Ambassador, how do you like Mexico?” I also had one about k “Which has the big- : gest kick, Mr. Ambassador, tequila or habanero?” but I decided not to use that one. Anyway, the next afternoon I got a shoeshine, and at 10 minutes after 5 (just fashionably late, you know) I pulled up in front of the Embassy.

Meeting Mrs. Daniels

A fellow in uniform took my hat and looked at it & couple of times as if trying to make up his mind, and then gave me a check. I went up some steps into a big living room, with a fire going in the fireplace. I introduced myself to a tall, nice-looking man who seemed to be there for that purpose, and he took me over and introduced me to Mrs. Daniels, who was talking with a couple of lady friends. Mrs. Daniels caught the name right away, and asked if we liked Mexico, and I said sure, didn’t she, and she said oh she just loved Mexico. I kept wondering when these other people would leave s0 we could sit down and have our tea. Then the Ambassador came through the door, He shook hands and called me by name, and I said, “Well, Mr. Ambassador, how do you like . . .” but he was already going out the other way.

Our Town

YESTERDAY I UNCOVERED a side of Frederic (Fritz) Krull which people who have handles for things call his “intellectual curiosity.” It's a gift he inherited from his mother (Malinda). Today I want

to reveal Mr. Krull's musical gifts, the side he inherited from his father (Albert). Mr. Krull, T guess, has set more Riley poems to music than any other composer. Without half trying, I can account for a couple of dozen and, like as not, there are more. Offhand, I should say that Mr. Krull's output represents something around 20 per cent of all the Riley poems set to music. Of course, when you figure it another way, there are more Riley songs than Riley poems set to music. I can explain that, too. For example, no less than 10 composers tried their hand at doing something with “There ‘Little ‘Girl, Don't Cry.” As ‘early as 1889, for instance, P. A. Schnecker, a New York organist I believe, gave it a musical setting. And in 1900, Clarence Forsyth, who probably had as much to do with laying the foundations of musical appreciation in Indianapolis as anybody else, gave the poem one of its most poignant treatments. Other composers who tackled the poem were Archie Mumma, Edward Campion, H, A. Norris, Caro Roma, Alvah Salmon, H. B. Vincent, C. Sobeski and Pier Tirindelli. Sounds something like a Notre Dame football team.

Tribute From Lowise Homer

A half dozen composers set “Little Orphant Annie” to music, including not only Mr. Krull but also Barclay Walker who will always be remembered as the man who made it possible to sing (and whistle) Bill Herschell's war poem “Long Boy.” As near as I recall, Mr. Krull had his “Little Orphant Annie” on the market before Mr. Walker got around to it. Soon as the Krull version appeared, it sold like hot cakes all over the country. When Louise Homer ordered

Defense Discord

WASHINGTON, May 22.-—The situation here is nasty. The President is getting the kickback from the fear and hysteria created by his bellicose PanAmerican speech and his panicky Congressional message. The public demands action. The President is revealed without detailed plan or organization to produce his “four alarm” defense. He personally is blamed on all sides. So—instead of the quiet confidence and unity which he needs from Congress, industry, labor, and the defense services—he is meeting much suspicion. Typical of the industrial distrust are off-the-record statements of several manufacturers attending Monday's weird meeting here to throw the aviation industry into high gear. After listening to Army chiefs confess “that this whole thing was thrown at them so fast they didn’t have a chance to prepare,” some key industrialists left charging, “it's all an Administration publicity stunt.”

Labor Leaders Angry.

Labor leaders are furious about the alleged runaround they are getting. Some Administration leaders are supporting bills to modify labor standards of the wage-hour and Walsh-Healey laws. And some defense chiefs are pledging such modification to industrialists, while other Administration leaders and Mr. Roosevelt deny it. . The suspicion on Capitol Hill is indicated by demands of the Vandenberg Senate group for the President to give Congress the “suppressed” Stettinius War Resources Board report of last fall. They make this a test of the President's ‘fair play and good faith.” The Army Chief of Staff, Gen. Marshall, told a

My Day

WASHINGTON, Tuesday.—There is a paragraph at the end of a column by Regine Kurlander in one of our newspapers, which I think is well worth commenting on today. It reads: “Our security is not a matter of weapons alone. I know that to cope with

present dangers we must be 3 strong in heart and hand, strong in our faith, strong in our way of living.” What is our way of living?

How does it differ from that of the two allied dictator nations in Europe today? The difference seems to be that in these two countries the rulers tell their people what they are to do, whereas in other countries people themselves have to decide what they are willing to do. Herein lies the challenge to democracy. These rulers in both cases, started their programs by explaining to their people that they wished to make life better for them, even a few years ago people going to Germany were carefully shown that there were no slums, that the government was making every effort to make life more worthwhile for everyone. The objectives were hidden. After the were firmly established in the minds of

1 thought that before I got mad and left I'd just see what the Ambassador was in such a hurry about, so I followed him into the next room, and there, you can believe it or not, were at least a hundred people, all standing around holding tea cups and talking. Oh, so this is it, is it. So the Ambassador was just busting for me to have a little quiet tea with him, was he? Oh I see, Well, here I go, right out the door.

‘Goodby, Mr. Pyle”

But just as I was starting I saw a fellow named Lincoln that I had run onto in Cuernavaca, and stopped to talk with him a minute, and while we were talking a fellow in uniform handed me a cup of tea, with a napkin under the saucer, and another fellow | came and gave me a French pastry, or something. Then a man and woman came up and Mr. Lincoln introduced them as Mr. and Mrs. Kaufman from Wisconsin, and Mr. Kaufman turned out to be “Uncle Ray,” who writes the newspaper column for children. Then a girl from Wellesley came over and said she had come to Mexico to stay a year and was studying in the university and living with a Mexican family so she could learn Spanish better. And then a young fellow with a camera over his shoulder came up and said he was a photographer and had worked in New York for 10 years but got fed up with it and took a t to Mexico. He liked it so well he took the next boat back to New York and packed his stuff and got his wife and came back here to live,

Mr. Krull's Riley period embraced six years, from 1904 to 1910. A meticulous account ought to point out, however, that Mr. Krull set a Riley poem to, music as early as 1899 when he was a 23-vear-old | student in Berlin. lt was the sonnet “When She| Comes Home.” When Riley heard it, he said: ‘“You| have done it wonderfully well; you have caught the spirit of the pvem.” | Mr. Krull got to Berlin by way of the Indianapolis High School (now Shortridge). He was the Com-| mencement speaker (Class 1894) and played the fiddle in the school orchestra. In a pinch, he could play the piano, too. Soon as he graduated, he went to Europe. He didn’t get back until seven years later. | Six months were spent in Russia with the St. Peters- | burg Opera. That's right—40 years ago the Capital of Russia was called just that. Goodness, how things] have changed in the meantime. rw |

He Could Sing, Too

I lug Mr. Krull's Russian phase into today's piece because it was when he was with the St. Petersburg | Opera that he let his voice out. It turned out to be

a fine baritone and it came in handy when he re-|

turned to Indianapolis and gave his Riley recitals. |

For a iong time, too, Mr. Krull was always called on | when Indianapolis wanted to pay a musical tribute to Mr. Riley or his memory. remember, when the Riley Hospital was dedicated. He also sang a group of his songs when School 43 was re-dedicated and named the James Whitcomb Riley School.

F. D. R. Grimly E ficient |

| In fairness to the critics—Congressional, industrial, | labor, political, military, and civilian experts--it can be admitted that the President brought much of this on himself. In deliberately trying to shock the coun- | try into awareness, he overplayed his sensational hand. | But in fairness to the President, and for the sake of national confidence in an emergency, it is essential that the public understand the truth. The truth is that the President, far from being hysterical as he appeared, is operating with a cool if somewhat grim | efficiency. He is suffering from past mistakes—such as his naval-mindedness at the expense of aircraft and Army mechanization, the lack of a strong Secretary, of the Navy and the notorious conflict at the War De- | partment between Secretary Woodring and Assistant Secretary Johnson. But it is also true that the President never IMs been sincerer, stronger and surer of himself than in these last world-shaking 10 days.

both Germans and Russians. the idea of power and ability to dominate the world was equally carefully instilled. We, in this country, had best learn a lesson from them. Every individual in this country must be convinced that the Government is as much interested today in seeing them well housed, well clothed and well fed, obtaining needed medical care and recreation, as they are concerned that arms are necessary for defense in the world as it is today. Unless the two convictions go hand in hand, somewhere the unity of the nation will break. Those watching the drama in “Europe today are sick at heart at the suffering of individual human beings.
