Hoosier Vagabond

(Ernie Pyle is on vacation and at the request of readers we are reprinting some of his favorite ©olumns.)

CRIPPLE CREEK, Colo, June 8, 1936.—Yo0 hoo, Mrs. Roosevelt, here IT am down at the bottom of a gold mine. Have you ever been down in a gold mine? We're 1200 feet down. Biggest gold mine in the United States. The mouth of the Cresson mine is 10,030 feet above sea level. That's getting mighty high. We came down on the ore hoist, It’s just like an elevator in an office building, except that it's a big steel bucket, with a platform up above the bucket. We stood on the platform, Al Bebee and I. He's the superintendent. He's showing me around. Al told me to hold on to the cable that runs up through the middle of the platform. I did. We came down fast. The hoist got to hitting the sides of the shaft, and bumping back and forth, like a locomotive on the tracks. 8 » »

Wear Protecting Helmets

It felt good when we started slowing up. Finally We stopped. A quarter of a mile from the top. We Just lifted a wooden bar and stepped out into the mine, Gee, it's quiet down here. Not a sound anywhere, or a soul in sight. Al Bebee and I start walking down a tunnel. Al and I both have on fiber crash helmets, like sun hats. That's a mine rule. They've saved lots of lives from falling rocks. I walk along behind Al, talking, and have no idea where I am. The main tunnel winds around like a snake, and Side tunneels run off from it, and other tunnels from the side tunnels. Al tells me how the mine is laid out: “There’s just one shaft, running straight down for 2000 feet. But about every 100 feet down is a

Our Town

ANOTHER PRIVILEGED peep into the past: Some time ago, Walter Biddlecomb, 520 E. 54th St., received a letter from his sister, Mrs. E. J. Atherton of Birmingham, Mich. On opening it, a clipping cut from a Detroit paper fluttered to the floor. The clipping carried the date line of Ipswich, England. The contents concerned a certain Joseph Hayward, a retired teacher who had all the traits, habits and idiosyncrasies of Mr. Chips, including his delightful practice of keeping track of the 33,500 boys who, at one time or another, had come under his spell and profited by his lessons. Indeed, the dispatch even went so far as to suggest that, maybe, Mr. Hayward was the real and original Mr. Chips. It wasn’t a far-fetched deduction, because the way the piece was written it left no doubt that the journalist had just come from seeing the movie version of “Goodby Mr. Chips.” * ® Ww

It Didn’t Make Sense

Mr. Biddlecomb’s eyes popped, you bet, when he read the clipping. A second reading produced a cold sweat. When Mr. Biddlecomb had time to pull himself together, it all came back to him and he remembered that once upon a time, 60 or more years ago when he was a little boy, he went to the British Boys School in Turret Lane, Ipswich, England, his birthplace. And believe it or not, a man named Joseph Hayward was his teacher. Even more to the point was the contributing fact that he remembered his teacher as a man with all the whimsicalities of Mr. Chips. Somehow, though, the clipping didn’t make sense, because the more Mr. Biddlecomb thought about it, the less it appeared possible that Mr. Hayward could still be living. For one thing, if he were still living, he would be somewhere around & hundred years old.

Washington

WASHINGTON, May 25.—This is one of those “yes-but” columns that pleases nobody, but it has to be that wav for the simple reason that I don’t join either those who think President Roosevelt is the perfect, all wise leader, or that other group which thinks he is totally wrongheaded. This country is in danger of dividing ifself fatally into those two groups, and thus paralyzing national action. Whatever you may think of Mr. Roosevelt, he is our President for eight months more, regardless. As catastrophe moves now, eight months is an eternity. We are in a most serious crisis. We do not know at what moment Japan will strike at the Dutch East Indies, and menace our supply of rubber and tin, now that Germany has given her the green light. If that action comes, we shal! have to decide at once, within a few hours, whether to fight or to accept a Munich in the Far Bast. Who knows whether, within a month, the British will still have their fleet, or whether it will be in German hands, or sunk, or over here in Canada? As Canada is at war with Germany, who knows what demands Hitler may make upon Canada? We may have to make a decision there. Suppose Mr. Hitler wants to establish a Nazi gauleiter in Ottawa in place of the British Governor-General? ” ” ”

Time for Teamwork

These are only possibilities but it would be most unfortunate if we had to face them in the mood which has obtained toward Mr. Roosevelt on the part of a considerable number of people—namely that he is always wrong. In times of crisis there must be leadership and

My Day

WHEELING, W. Va. Friday —Yesterday began with a very pleasant breakfast on the porch at the Arthurdale Inn, which has a delightful view of the community center and some of the homesteads spread out below. Then I met the homesteader’s committee, after which a band led by a mer WPA instructor played on the 3 grass in front ot the community 3 center. We visited the craft shop, which is now doing very good work and has sales for its pieces in many of the larger furniture stores in the East. An NYA resident project has

‘level,’ corresponding to a floor in an office building. “On each level, drifts run out from the main shaft. There are more than 50 miles of drifts in this mine, yet the area of the lease on the surface is just a few blocks square.” We walked and walked, and didn’t see anybody. Al said that was because just a few rhen, from two to half a dozen, were working on each level. There were about 200 men in the mine, but we never saw more than a dozen. Finally we came to the end of a tunnel. Two men were working there with compressed air drills. It made a terrible noise. When the steel drill bit into the rock, sparks flew for three feet. They drill about 18 holes there in a day. Then at night they put in dynamite and shoot it off. In the morning, they'll cart out the loose rock, hoist it to the top, and start drilling again. » ” ”

No Gold to Be Seen

Al and I left these boys to the drilling, and wound through some more tunnels. They were dry and warm. We came to a wooden chute sticking down into a tunnel. We crawled up this chute, and then reversed and crawled back over the top of it. It was hard going. “This is a stope,” Al said. I looked around. We were in a big cave, as big as a house. It was like being in Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. “We're taking gold ore out of here now,” Al said.

It was very dark. I twisted my head to flash my I

lamp all over the “stope.” The walls and ceiling were solid gray rock. The floor was loose, broken rock that had been blasted down. “Where's the gold?” I asked. “You can't see it,” Al said. has to be milled out.” We were in the mine about two hours. got over the fact that miners don’t see gold. It was a sort of ghostly sensation down there. So quiet and lonesome. The tunnels making such a labyrinth. Just a couple of men here and there; youd run on to them suddenly around a corner. Way down there away from the rest of the world. A quarter of a mile down from the world we know. Solid rock all around. What if it would all come falling down? And you can’t see any gold.

Mr. Biddlecomb said he figured it out, using the kind of arithmetic Mr. Hayward taught him 60 years ago. To make sure, however, Mr. Biddlecomb sat down and wrote a letter in the course of which he also took occasion to ask the whereabouts of Mr, Hay-| ward's daughter, apparently an important part of Mr. Biddlecomb’s boyhood. In no time at all he had an answer, written in a big bold hand. The letter showed no signs of censorship. I am violating no confidence to let you read it from start to finish.

” » » Old Memories Stirred “Dear Mr. Biddlecomb” (it begins): “Your letter was a great surprise and pleasure to me, recalling, as it does, memories of those far off days, when we were all much younger. I am in my 99th year, and although A. D. has a pretty firm grasp of me, I still enjoy life in a mild way, taking short walks most days. “Yes, I was head-master of the British School for 35 years, during which time 3500 boys (not 33,500) were admitted. Your sister and my daughter Maggie (now dead) were close friends; and your father and mother were great friends of ours. My second daughter Florence is also dead; my youngest child Edith still lives. She is widow of Mr. F, J. Atkins. “I suppose ‘the war’ is much discussed in America. Of course here it is the main topic.

direction. Great Britain has had to go into a complete dictatorship, absolute and all-pervasive, cover-

ing labor, management and property. Somebody must give the orders and make the decisions. That brings up the other side of the picture. To win general confidence, Mr. Roosevelt must conduct the Administration in this crisis in such a way as to deserve it. Actually he has aroused misgivings by the way he is handling the industrial mobilization task, which at the moment is the all-important bottleneck in defense. Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau announces that Mr. Roosevelt has assigned him to deal with the machine-tool industry, one of the defense production bottlenecks. He is calling the industry here next Monday. “Believe me,” says Secretary Morgenthau, “they're going to have some job cut out for them. They're going to have plenty of expanding to do.” »

» H

Morgenthau or Knudsen?

Now Mr. Morgenthau doesn’t know anything abou! industry first hand. Besides, he ought to Mave his hands full of the fiscal affairs of the Government. Does anyone think for a moment that Mr. Morgenthau can possibly do the job of jazzing up the machine tool industry that William Knudsen of General Motors could do? Why trust this vital task to a novice when it is enough to challenge such a big-league industrialist as Mr. Knudsen? The Stettinius War Resources Board studied these problems last fall and not a single member of that board has been called to take a hand in applying the knowledge then gained. Senator Austin has proposed that the President appoint a nonpartisan “authority to expedite national defense” composed of industrialists with the know-how. Why can’t Mr. Roosevelt see that to send his present crew of Cabinet officers into this highly technical executive task is like sending a troop of Boy Scouts out to fight off a tank?

such fertile ground for real lessons in democracy, that it would be a pity if we were not taking full advantage of our opportunities. I went into the new little pottery kiln back of the school, which is used by the school children and adults in the community again under the instruction of a WPA teacher. They are not really very proficient as yet, though some of their pieces have a lovely glaze. The janitor of the school does the nicest work of anybody in the community. He made a very delicate figure of a man holding his rifle against his knee and presented it to me for the President. He also gave me a lovely lamp he had made. Following this interlude, a school meeting took place. Then I went to Morgantown for my broadcast and a greeting to the queen of the campuses, a charming young University of West Virginia girl.

MINTON RUMOR ON JUDGESHIP 1S PREMATURE

Writer Points Out Hoosier Rides Crest of Power In Senate Now.

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, May 25.-Recur-ring reports that Senator Sherman Minton will be retired to the Fed-

eral bench and Governor M. Clif ford Townsend will take the Sena~ torial nomination appear to be somewhat premature, In the first place, there is no Federal bench for Senator Minton to retire to at the moment, and in the second place he is enjoying his {role of majority whip more than at any time in his career here. Beaming with pride, the Hoosier Senator pointed to the Army and Navy appropriation bills, totaling $3,297,009,452, which were passed by

Makes U. S. Purchases

The office makes practically all] Federal purchases for Federal] agencies having offices in Indiana; purchases a total of about seven million dollars annually. The office, in the Century Building, has 46 employees under Samuel J. Craig and has a high efficiency rating. The Treasury several days ago announced a decision to combine the present Kentucky and Indiana office with headquarters in Indian= apolis. Kentucky interests protested this decision strongly and ob-| tained a reversal of it. The Indi-| ana office was then ordered combined with the one for Illinois Rep. Ludlow informed officials here that the Treasury intended to retain a small office here to handle small purchases and to move the rest of the activity to Chicago giving local employees the opportunity to compete for jobs in the Chicago office.

May Hurt Highway Plans

Local businessmen claimed that the plans for a $10,000,000 WPA highway improvement program in Indiana, recently announced by the State Highway Commission, would be seriously handicapped by the change. They also said that many Indiana manufacturers, wholesalers and material firms are able to bid on Federal purchases onlv because of the existence of the Indianapolis office. These businessmen predicted that the Federal Government would have to pay higher prices in Chicago than here. The Chamber of Commerce said local business leaders would go to Washington to protest the change in a public hearing to be arranged by Rep. Ludlow,
