"Hoosier Vagabond

- BILOXI, Miss, June 17.—Meaning no disrespect, we chose Biloxi for this vacation that has just ended simply because New Mexico was too far away. _ But Biloxi turned out to be ideal. We had been in Biloxi before, and knew it for a ily : B sleeply little city where nothing ever happens (yeah,-there’s al-

ready been one murder since we.

arrived) and where the sun shines and the moss hangs languidly on the big oak trees. Also, we have friends here. Freddie and Ann Moreton. They

entered our lives 10 years ago,

when Freddie was a traffic man for Eastern’ Airlines in Washington, and Annie was a flying hostess. As she says, she’s flown 200,000 miles and never beer anywhere. They have a beautiful white Jiousel and a station wagon and a motor boat and a Negro girl cook with a bicycle. The reason the Negro girl] happens to have the. bicycle is that Ann sold it to her. So now the girl rides the ‘bike to work, and then Annie rides it all day, just -as she did betore she sold it. Smart, these Southern girls. Bs | Well, the Moretons piled us into- their station wagon the first afternoon, and we went looking for a furnished house to rent for three/ weeks. There wasn’t a one in town. At 5 o’clotk we came back and sat down, discouraged and blue. | “I'm going out alone,” announced Annie. Finding a Place to Live In 10 minutes she was back, with a house for us. She had accomplished this by the simple process of going to a neighbor family and firmly suggesting that they move out for three weeks. Before the relentless logic of/Five-Foot Irresistible Annie, the neighbors never had a chance. So they moved. And we unpacked our six books, phoned the milk .company and set up house-keeping. Since then, my ti#fhe has been given over to the following -order of things: 1. Worrying about the war. 2. Playing solitaire.

' HAVING DISPOSED of the mystery surrounding the. first baby born in Indianapolis, the next thing to . tackle is the origin of the Century Club. I haven't the least idea why I pick the hottest days -of the year to tackle the most ticklish questions. Prob- . ably for the same reason that Indianapolis girls, with the whole calendar to choose: from, invariably pick the month of June to get married. To determine the identity of the first baby born in Indianapolis, you'll recall that I had to start with three mothers, all of whom thought they had the first baby around here. By a process of elimination, familiar to physinin cians and the like, I got rid of two mothers, leaving me with one mother on my hands. I hope to Heaven I picked the right one. In_the case of the Century Club, the situation is somew. similar and calls for the same technique. ‘With this difference, however: This time I'm dealing with two fathers. The problem ahead of me is to get rid of one.

Allen H endricks Speaking

I guess Allen Hendricks knows moré about the start of the Century Club than anybody else around here. | To hear Mr. Hendricks tell it, the Club was the out- | growth” of & happy thought of Alfred F. Potts, although, he hastens to add, it may have sprung from the active brain of William Fortune. To listen to others less qualified to speak, both men were the fathers of the Century Club, a biological anomaly that leaves me gasping for breath. Maybe this will shed more light on the situation: It’s pretty well established that the Century Club was born in 1887 when a small group of men met in the . .law offices of Griffiths & Potts. When the balloting was ended, it revealed that Alfred Potts was elec president and Allen Hendricks, secretary, leaving Mr. JFortune as one of, the charter members along with Hilton U. Brown, Evans Woollen, William S. Bobbs,

Washington

WASHINGTON, June 17.—We are so deeply en‘gaged in belated bickering over helping the Allies— a matter that now has become mostly academic— that we are ignoring Latin America. where timely help of another kind can be most useful to us.

. We need allies on this hemiphery more than we need allies in Europe. Failure to give help now to these countries to the south may cost us dearly. In Hitler's hour of victory, the pull economically and political ly on Latin American nations will be strongly in his direction, unless we act to offset it. We must assume now that Hitler is master of the continent of Europe. England, fighting § alone, may salvage something ‘for herself but Hitler is boss in Europe. Half of Argentina’s export market is how under Hitler's control. He is the biggest prospective customer. Economics make politics, .

Europe normally sis a heavy purchaser of South America’s agricultural products. Every nation in Latin ‘America is wondering now whether it can recover its European markets under Hitler if it adopts a policy of hostility to the Nazi regime. That is the deepest danger to our hemisphere solidarity. . The question facing every Latin American country is whether it will be possible to sell in Europe éxcept by taking from Hitler and his satellite countries an equal amount of imports.

James W. Fesler, William L. Taylor, Charles N. Thompson ‘and possibly a dozen more. . Piled up in this manner, these biographical facts have all the surface indications of an impressive case for Mr. Potts. It doesn’t follow, however, that because Mr. Potts was the first president that he was also the father of the club. Nor can I bring myself to believe that the offices of Griffiths & Potts had anything to do with it. To credit Mr. Potts with the paternity of the Century Club just because the birth took place in his office is carrying things pretty far, it strikes me.

To say nothing of establishing .a mighty dangerous}

precedent. Anyway, it isn’t enough to eliminate Mr. Fortune. :

The Century Gets Even

As far as I'm concerned, Mr. Fortune is still a candidate. And for that matter, so is Mr. Potts. To save my life, I can’t make up my mind which of the two men was: the real father of the Century Club. Of this I'm sure, however: It must be one of the two. It can't possibly be both. Nobody can make me believe that the Century Club had two fathers. All of which still leaves me room to wonder why the Century Club.was born. I suspect it was a way of “ getting even with the 10-year-old Indianapolis Literary Club which didn’t consider anybody fit to be

a member until he was old enough to be a little wob-|

bly. Mr. Fortune couldn’t get in because he was only 24 at the time. ‘As for Mr. Potts, he was 31—just about 36 years short of being eligible. ' The Century Club hot only got even, but made -it pretty hot for the Literary Club. In 1890, three years after it got started, it had 47 members. That same year, it delivered a line of essays, the like of which Indianapolis had never heard. It made the Literary Club look positively sick. Among the subjects delivered and discussed that year were “The Federation of the World,” “Experiments in Socialism,” “Decadence of Monarchy” and “Who Rules Great Britain.” "Mind you, that was exactly 50 years ago. The only thing to compare with it over at the Literary Club was the paper, “Of Changes in Some Current Opinions,” by Simon Yandes, who was 74 years old.

buys from the United States. Hitler's buying pcwer is the chief prospective field for expanded trade. It is to be assumed that Hitler will use this buying power as an instrument of an aggressive post-war economic policy. ‘This situation invites totalitarian propaganda in Latin America, to the point that hemisphere solidarity and the Good Neighbor Policy of the United States are no substitutes for markets in Europe. Our exclusion of certain Latin American products, the bitter opposition in Congress. to admitting more products under reciprocal trade agreements, the unwillingness of some of our legislators to make any concessions in the interest of broader policy, such narrow-minded and phoney attacks as that some time -back upon the Navy’s purchase of canned meat from South America—all of these play into the hands of Latin American politicians who see a chance to do business with Hitler. ”

The Vargas Speech

We want their support for the Monroe Doctrine. Our national interest makes it imperative that no potential enemy obtain a foothold in Latin America. Yet we offer little inducement in return except protection from foreign attack, which they well know we have to undertake anyway as a matter of selfprotection. In addition to the economics of the situation is the additional pull away from us arising out of proGerman and pro-Italian influences in some of the Latin American countries. President Vargas of Brazil undoubtedly was responding to internal pressure when, immediately following President Roosevelt's “stab in the back” condemnation of Mussolini, he made a speech which was construed as sympathetic to the young, vigorous totalitarian regimes. In all of this, our economic policy toward Latin America, a tightly selfish and nationalistic attitude, too short-sighted to see the jeopardy in which it places our real national interest, is playing straight down Hitler's alley. We need to let down some barriers. The danger is that we may lose the struggle in our own backyard, without a shot being fired.

Democrats

Now Lead in 41 States, Gallup Finds

By Dr. George Gallup

PRINCETON, N. J., June 17.—A new state-by-state political checkup— conducted by the American Institute of Public Opinion since Adolf Hitler launched his blitzkrieg attack against the West a month ago—points today to a de“cided increase in the strength of the Democratic Party throughout the United States. .

the Democratic Party, 46 per cent the Republicans. This is a gain of two points for the Democrats since April. It is still five months until the November elections. Neither party has nominated its candidates yet. Hence the Institute survey is nothing more than a pre-conven-tion “preview” of party strength. The entire picture may be altered in the weeks to come, just as it has been altered in the past month. Nevertheless, the survey shows that the Democrats are going into the campaign with an impressive initial advantage.

If the election were being held today—and if it were being decided entirely on the question of party strength and apart from the platforms and candidates — the survey indicates that the Democrats would lead in 41 states out of a total of 48. They would capture about 488 out of a total of 531 electoral votes.

How this contrasts with political sentiment only eight weeks ago, before the blitzkrieg, is shown by reference to the Institute's state-by-state survey of late April. At that time the Democratic party was ahead in 31 states, but the margin was so close that a shift of only 1 per cent in a few crucial states would have tipped the scales to the Republicans.

But the shift has been in the opposite direction. Preliminary studies conducted by the Institute indicate that the chief reasons may lie in the popularity of President Roosevelt’s handling of foreign policy. It is interesting to note, incidentally, that there has also been a sharp rise in thirdterm sentiment in the same pericd of time, as reported. in The Times, June 5. Whereas 47 per cent said they would vote for a Roosevelt third ter min April,

o 57 per cent were in favor of a

third term in the latest study.

Another possible factor is the circumstance that while the Democratic party has a recognized leadership in President Roosevelt today, the Republican party is still engaged in the task of selecting its national leadership for the 1940 campaign. Further Institute studies, beginning immediately _after the Republican National Convention, will show how the selection of a flesh-and-blood Republican nominee affects the political picture.

# ” ”

OINCIDENTAL with the Ger- - man drive against France and England, however, the Institute survey shows an average Democratic gain of 4 per centage points throughout the United States. The Institute asked a cross-section of voters in every

CAMPBELL BILL ~ DEFEAT LIKELY

Measure Would Let Police, Firemen Run for Office Without Resigning.

If things work out as planned, Councilman Harmon A. Campbells ordinance to permit City Police and Firemen to run for political office without resigning, will be buried tonight under a landslide of Cou cilmanic “Noes.” io A majority of Council members were organized over the week-end to kill the measure which, its opponents said, is contrary to State law. | Mr. Campbell introduced the ordinance last meeting as an aftermath to the Safety Board’s dismissal of Morris Corbin, who declined to resign from the Police Department when he ran for the Republican nomination for County Sheriff. Councilmen also were in tentative

accord to postpone action on the Indianapolis Railways, Inc., petition to re-route the Pennsylvania St. trackless trolley line. The company

proposed to run its southbound bus

on Pennsylvania St. from 22d to

16th Sts. instead of on Talbot St. as at present.

The proposal has excited the opposition of Fennsylvania St. property owners who fear the running of

the bus on the street will deteriorate ‘the value of property and create a nuisance. Talbot 3t. residents favor the idea. Members said they hoped postponement would give the residents time to confer with Railways officials on the plan and reach a solution.

Promotion Is Won By Those Who Expand As Individuals Beyond Boundaries of Jobs
