Hoosier Vagabond By Ernie Pyle

EE A OXI, Miss., June 21.—Yes, a newspaperman not only meets such interesting people, but he gets such interesting letters. This one is from a gal in ColoI think I'd better delete the town’s name. She just gave her own first name and initial. She = * says: “The resemblance of your picture to a friend of mine whose initials are S. A. D. are so pronounced that I am writing this to let him know that I do enjoy his column. > “Why don’t you stop in and write us up? If you stopped in town as Ernie Pyle instead of S. A. D,, your life would not be in danger. Ome of your old girl friends, , was here recently but they moved the : first of June, so still your life and identity would be safe. “I've had all my teeth pulled and I look like h—, but would be glad to see you. And if you have a wife, bring her too; I'd like to meet the woman who had more power than I had. Couldn't you answer this in your ieoiumn some day?” | ” »

Arranging a Date _ Yes, I guess I can answer, since you've discovered me. You are right. My real name is Solomon Abathgail Dilly. But you must know I didn’t leave Colorado to get away from you. I left because those people kept hounding me all the time. "After I got out of the penitentiary I went to San Francisco and posed as a bank president. I changed my name to Ernie Pyle three years ago when things got too hot. I'd like to see you, but I don’t think I'd better come to your town. Can’t you meet me Thursday morning at the side entrance to the Denver Dry Goods Co. Maybe we can cook up something. Never mind your looks; I don’t look so hot myself any more. Incidentally, is that old woman dead yet? Forever yours. y

Our Town

FOR MORE THAN 50 years, or ever since I was a little boy, I've entertained a belief that women are inherently honest, no matter what the situation may be. All men I suspect; all women I trust. And I don’t know why, unless it is that the first example of : fl "woman's inherent sense of in- . tegrity came to me by way of a little shop on W. Ohio St. between Meridian and Illinois. : The shop was run by two little women of Quaker origin who looked the part. Indeed, they looked so much the part that ever since my first meeting them, I've had a more or less foolish notion that every shop consecrated to the sale of things, : known as “ladies’ fancy work” should be run by a pair of Quakers as nice as the Luders sisters. I think that was their name. Anyway it sounded like that 50 years ago. Before I go on, I guess I ought to inform you youngsters that, when I was a little boy, nearly all women around here went in for “fancy work” in a big way. - At any rate, in a much bigger way than they now do,-because I can remember the time when ‘'women—and little girls, too—spent all their spare minutes knitting and crocheting fancy things. Ican’t begin to tell you all the things they made, but I seem ‘to recall that their work baskets were always full of knitted doilies, wristlets, skillet holders, penwipers, tea cozies and pot hushers. »

Reaching an All-Time High An all-time high was reached, I remember, when somebody thought up a knitted egg warmer, a blanketlike affair with eight pockets in which boiled eggs could be kept hot until everybody had time to reach the breakfast table. Back in the abundant age in which I was brought up, everybody ate two eggs for breakfast. And the further fact that, once upon a time, no family around here had less than two kids accounts, of course, for the eight pockets. In larger families two or more egg warmers were used.

Washington

PHILADELPHIA, June 21.—Hitler has other business to occupy his attention, but if he would only give a thought to the Republicans now struggling over their 1940 platform he could help them out of a hole. All he needs to do is to show himself now to be a decent fellow, a big-hearted, reasonable, farseeing statesman instead of the grasping monster that the Roosevelt Administration considers him to be. In that case, the Republicans could whip together a platform on the basis that President Roosevelt has been seeing things under the bed and is being led to wild extremes by his own ‘hysteria. Republican leaders here find it difficult to screw themselves ) up to facing realities. They would like to think that Hitler believes in “Europe for the Europeans, America for the Americans,” as Hitler put it recently in a clever interview for American consumption. So anxious are the Republicans to escape from the implications of a Hitler victory in Europe, as President Roosevelt sees them, that they would clutch eagerly at the slightest sign of mellowing on the part of Hitler. The wish is so strong that Hitler could lull them as easily as he lulled Chamberlain. An easy peace for France would go far toward doing the trick. #2 u = The Latin-American Problem, Republicans don’t want to accept any such kind of all-American trade cartel idea as the Administration has recently proposed. They don’t want to spend any more money in Latin America. Above all they don’t want to enter into any pooling arrangement with latin American countries whereby the Western Hemisphere would bargain as a bloc in disposition of ' its large agricultural surpluses.

My Day

NEW YORK CITY, Thursday. —Something curious is happening to us in this country and I think it is time we stopped and took stock of ourselves. Are we going to be swept away from our traditional attitude toward civil liberties by hysteria about “fifth columnists,” or are we going to keep our heads and rid ourselves of “fifth columnists” through the use of préperly constituted Government officials? : If we violate the rights of innocent people or even of, guilty ple, we lose our long established liberties because of our desire to curtail the activities of those who are dangerous as groups or as individuals, by trying to curtail them in unconstitutional and ill considered ways. On Page One of a newspaper _ this morning there appear three articles showing the heat and lack of consideration with which many people are acting. One heading reads: “Crowds Force ‘Sect Members to March With Flag in Wyoming.” “The story tells how si people of a certain religious sect were dragged from their homes and forced to pledge allegiance to the flag. . In public places at this time we might exact this of all people, and the most dangerous fifth columnists ‘would be the first to conform. Must we drag people

little pnilosophizing about rich people, and I'm going to quote it, because I think she’s got something: «I have never harbored any prejudice against the rich,” she says. “Those, who are accustomed to wealth are not idle people. Most of them do more work in a day than any WPA does in many, many days. The rich assume RESPONSIBILITY, and work because they desire perfect results. I admire the rich. I mean those who are accustomed to wealth and the industry it takes to acquire and keep wealth, If I were a wild rose IT am sure { would gaze with awe upon -an American Beauty rose and be glad for the loveliest of my kind.” Madame, I admire the rich too. I downright envy them. But I can go along with you on that industry stuff. Rich and lazy, that’s my goal. A rich, lazy

Correcting an Error

It seems I made a mistake. It wis in the very last column before I went on vacation. - In writing about Col. M. R. Meals, the noted mule auctioneer of Tennessee, I told about the Big Twist Plantation. sale in Arkansas, where Col. Meals auctioned to a crowd of 12,000 people. And I said’ that Col. Meals took the contract for this sale, organized it on a big scale, and ran the whole thing off like a circus. But now we are informed that Col. Meals was not the one who had the contract. The contract was signed by Loyd Summers of Memphis. ” ”

Do you remember the man in Miami who sells absolutely fresh cream put up in vacuum cans, sO it will keep fresh indefinitely? He said that as far as he knew it was the first time in all history that fresh cream had been put up that way. Well, Mrs. Lucie Walker Howe of Washington, D. C.. writes: «When I was last in Halifax, Yorkshire, England, in 1926, canned cream had been in use some years and was on sale in grocery stores. It retailed in round. flat tins, vacuum-sealed, and would keep indefinitely until opened.” So there's nothing new after all under that sun that never sets on the British Empire. And which I hope, quite irrelevantly, never will.

Well, with everybody knitting and crocheting, something was bound to happen. Either women had to stop knitting because there wasn’t anything more to knit, or they had to enlarge the field of their operations. They chose the second way because I remember that right after the orgy of the eight-pocket egg warmer, they went in for knitted shawls, opera hoops, smoking caps and a cryptic piece of wearing apparel that went by the even more cryptic name of “fascinator.” The fascinator represented the golden age jof fancy work. It was a crocheted contraption about a yard long and anywhere from 6 to 8 inches wide. | Thrown nonchalantly over the hair and tied picturesquely around the throat it made a woman look like a million dollars. ‘I liked the pink ones best, I remember. Even women with red hair looked grand with pink fascinators thrown over their heads. | ” » ”® ’

A Powerful Argument

The fascinator was the cause of my meeting the two little Quaker shopkeepers. Mother, I remember, was determined to make a fascinator and had taken me along on rer hunt for materials. In the course of the shopping trip we ended in the jolly little Quaker shop with its tidy shelves piled high with | brightly colored yarns and threads. It was awfully hard to pick the right color, but I was tickled, you bet, when Mother finally made up her mind to take pink. When we got home, Mother discovered she was short 6 cents. It worried her like everythi 1g, 1 remember, but she never said anything more Soot it, thinking perhaps it was her own fault, in which case, the less said about it, the better. | Well, about six months later on my way to Mr. Pertuch’s Turning School at the corner of Illinois and Ohio Sts., I happened to pass the little Quaker shop. The sound of somebody tapping on the window made me stop. A beckoning finger asked me to enter and then T heard the startling news that Mother had left the 6 cents on the counter the day she bought the yarn for her pink fascinator. And ever since that day nobody can make me believe that women are dishonest, no matter what the situation may be.

By Raymond Clapper

The Roosevelt Administration thinks that no single weak country in this hemisphere can stand up in individual bargaining against a Europe trading as a Hitler-controlled unit, Hitler's enormous buying

power would be such a mighty weapon that a single small country could not resist it. Republicans want to believe that the Administration is imagining conditions as worse than they actually will be. It is much the same with regard to conscription, or to the broader universal service which President Roosevelt has proposed. If Hitler is as ruthless and as determined to achieve world conquest by military or economic warfare as most of the Roosevelt Administration believe, then we have no alternative in self-defense but to go into universal training to develop the force and national discipline and hardiness that would be required. » ® ”

Opposed to Conscription

But Republicans want none of this. For that matter nobody wants it. but the Republican leaders here are inclined to think it is unnecessary. They feel that if we are going to keep our democracy then we must have individual freedom, and that compulsory training is a violation of that principle and an adoption of Hitler's own methods. They want to oppose Mr. Roosevelt on this, and on his plan for hemisphere control of international trade. But they can only do so consistently by deflating the menace of Hitler into something far less forbidding than Mr. Roosevelt believes it to be. What amazes the politicians is the excitement over Wendell Willkie. Some think it is the result of a big corporation drive. It never occurs to them that the rise of Willkie’s star might be due to a widespread lack of confidence in the ability of regular politicians to deal with the enormous problems now gathering, and to a hope that Willkie may have the imagination, scope and drive that will be needed.

In another article it is reported that the Attorney General has had to explain to Congress that a bill approved by the House will, if it becomes a law, constitute a historic departure from an unbroken American practice and tradition for 150 years. This bill is perhaps the best example of abridging our liberfies in order to protect ourselves from one individual, who can easily. be rendered harmless by far less dangerous methods. J a The third article is one which states that-a leader of great prominence in Catholic Youth, Boy Scouts and Boys Club of America, is going to lead the fight on what he considers subversive elements in a youthled organization. One of -the first things he suggests is that he will demand that this organization advocate the suspension of civil liberties in this country as far as Communists are concerned. He is quoted as saying: “I don’t think it is any time to pamper those who are bent on destroying our country. These birds (meaning the Communists) are saboteurs. I- fought in one war and I will fight in another to defend my country, but I don’t want to do it with a lot of saboteurs at my back.” The gentleman in question is 42 years old. The people in the youth-led organization are likely to be dead in the front line of battle before he is.even called.

His mother also was a lawyer—the first woman admitted to the Indiana bar.
