Hoosier Vagabond

BUFFALO, N. Y., Sept. 28. —Funny the way things happen to a fellow traveling around. Here in Buffalo I ran smack into an old friend I hadn’t seen for three years, and because of running into him, I completely missed another one. It was this way: When I came out of the Curtiss-Wright factory at ~ noontime, here was Commander John Joseph Clark of the U. S. Navy. He is known throughout Naval Aviation as “Jock,” land we were together -the last time in San Diego three years. ago. Since then he has served a year and a half in Hawaii, and I've served such way bp ints as Tacna, Ariz, and Nauvoo, Ala, and now here we were in Buffalo. “Jock” ig the Navy representative at the Curtiss-Wright plant, and since he was living | at the Saturn Club he asked me |to stay So I did, and we had dinner and a fine lot of And then this morning when | I went

there. reminiscences. to the airline offices to check on my ticket, here was a note from another old friend named BDb | ‘Ball of the Detroit News. He had spent the night in Buffalo, driving Eastward on his vacation, and had heard I was there, but

couldn’t find me. His note said: “I've called every hotel and flop house in Buffalo, and you arent there. Why don’t you register under your own name?" So the score is 50-50. Hit one; missed one. Also maybe it will teach Mr. Ball not to go around assuming) inns I'm not good enough to get into a private club.

No Glamour On This Job

A few final words about the Curtiss-Wright plant betore flying away to the Midwest again. | One thing that impressed me was the dullness and routine of most of the work. So I asked about the type of people who apply for jobs, and how they like the werk, and so on. I found that a_good big percentage are young fel-

lows who have romantic ideas about aviation, and

want to make it their career.

And then, tragically, after a few weeks in the plant, punching holes in sheets of metal, they suddenly realize that there’s nothing glamorous about it. And then they get disillusioned and dissatisfied. The plant officials anticipated this, and got all set for it. So the minute they sense it happening, the young man is called in for a friendly talk. I.don’t know just what they tell him, but they do claim their tafks are so successful that they salvage 95 per cent of these “unglamored” boys, and make good and happy workmen out of them. There seems one incongruous thing about the way this factory ‘is run. They work around the clock, three shifts a day, just burning up the midnight oil in their rush, for five days a week. And then Saturday and Sunday the plant is practically sealed up, not turning a wheel. Ask why, and they say because of the labor laws.

Firing Through the Propeller

Although the actual machine guns aren't installed in the P-40 fighter planes until they arrive at the Army Depot at Fairfield, O., still all the mountings are put into the plane here, and the trigger handles and so on, and it got me to wondering. The P-40 has two machine guns that shoot through the propeller. ' This propeller 1s three-bladed, and it goes around mighty fast, and it is just more than my mind can comprehend how a gun can shoot so clocklike that the bullet never hits the propeller. So one of the Curtiss-Wright men gave me an example. He said: “Suppose you sat in the cockpit with' a revolver, and I stood down here and turned the prop around with my hands. You know it would be a long time between revolutions that way, and you'd feel pretty silly if ‘you couldn't fire one shot straight ahead without hitting the prop, wouldn't you?” I admitted I would, indeed, although the man turning the prop would also feel silly if I shot him, “Well,” he said, “the way this thing is synchronized, that gun has just as much time, in ratio, to fire

through the prop and miss the blades, as you would,

have if I were turning it over by hand.” I see.

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town”)

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Paul Daniel (Tony) Hinkle, boss of Butler University athletics, who works harder at his job than any man in Indianapolis. Tony is just about 40, six feet tall, 175 pounds of solid muscle and bone. His black hair is thick and wavy, parted in the middle and sprinkied with gray. At first glance his eyes look brown, but they're actually gray blue. He is a “Gloomy Gus''—a firstclass pessimist about his chances to win anything. But he always plays to win and he works harder on the coaching seat than most of his players do in action. He covers a soft and sentimental interior with a bland kidder front. For a high-strung | individual, he is amazingly even-tempered. He rarely loses his temper, ordinarily treats his players so well they take advantage of him. Like a lot of sports figures, he is notoriously superstitious, although not as acutely as he used to be. He once had a felt hat he considered lucky. It became pretty disreputable after about 10 years and chances dre he'd still be wearing it if Lou Reichel hadn't torn it up. Sometimes he takes a notion a ‘certain suit or tie is a luck charm and he'll wear it every game until the team loses. Once he even made Mrs. Hinkle go

. back home and get a certain scarf. The team won, too.

He ‘Lives’ Sports

He literally “lives” sports. They occupy most of his waking moments and he’s been known to jump out 6f bed in the middle of the night to grab a pencil and paper and jot down some new play that occurred to. him while dreaming about a Purdue drive down

_ the floor.

He is an excellent business man oo runs the concessions in addition to his other duties. He goes to the Fieldhouse on Sundays to put in some hard licks at his desk and to inspect the big plant. Mowing the grass is about the extent of the oh he'll do at

Washington

NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Evidently the question of feeding conquered Europe is shortly to be put up to the American public. ‘Herbert Hoover is here now working on a program. He has been in consultation with numerous persons here and abroad although not with the State Department or other authorities in Washington. The Administration attitude is un- : derstood to be hostile. For that reason it is probable that Mr. Hoover will appeal directly to the public for support because the question is loaded| with a high emotional content and with many serious implications. It may well become a point of intense political controversy during the next few months. Mr. Hoover as beert working with representatives of the occupied countries in Europe and with Bel fund organi-

zations in this country for Norway, Belgium, Holland and Poland. Denmark may also be included] Some 25,000,000 people in the countries occupied by rermany face starvation or acute food shortage this| winter. Germany is stripping most of them. Even in| normal times they must import much of their food or as in the case of Denmark, fodder and pil cake. The British blockade has shut off all imports. The Germans snatch what little food there is. oover's question is, does America, with huge food su plus in-

tend to do nothing while helpless people in| Europe starve? That is the emotional and huma a nitarian appeal in his proposition. t » ” o Favor ‘Long-Range Kindness’ | Others, in sympathy with the | Admin ) stration policy of supporting the British blockade, say that while it is a hard and cruel position to take. this is

total war in which’ the innocent must’ suffer. Any leak in the British blockade only helps Germany survive to continue her subjection of conquered countries. They see it as short-sighted humanitarianism to do anything now that would fasten the permanent yoke of slaves. upon German occupied regions. Long-range

The Record Speaks

He's a native Hoosier, born in Deer Creek, near Logansport. He was one of the University of Chicago's athletic greats, one of two men who ever earned nine. major letters. He has just started his 19th year at But.er. He came in 21 when Butler was still in Irvington. He has been athletic director since 34 and his coaching record in these last six years is impressive. His football teams have won the Indiana intercollegiate championship -all six years. His basketball teams have won one national title, two Missouri Valley titles and five state championships. He likes Indianapolis and Butler, has refused many offers of far better-paid jobs. He owns his own homie. He's an excellent speaker (and radio sports announcer) and he’s in such demand that he's only home to dinner once or twice a week.

The Subject of Swimming

He is a natural athlete, good at virtually every sport. He never learned to swim well, however, and lately in order to keep pace with his two daughters, Barbara, 9, and Patty, 8, he has applied himself diligently to swimming. He's improving. He's wild about his two daughters, incidentally, and will do anything to please them. Fond of dogs, he has®two Scotties, one for each of the girls. Lately, he's been interested in the war but it's

“about his only outside interest. He hasn't attended

a movie in a year. Unless it happens to be a newsreel, he usually falls asleep in the middle of the picture, He doesn't pay much attention to the radio unless it’s on war news or sports. His preoccupation with Butler sports makes him absent-minded. Often when people speak to him he won't answer and they'll think he’s angry. He just hasn't heard them—much less seen them.- Sometimes when he’s driving, he'll stop at a green light and just sit there thinking until someone behind - him honks.

kindness, they think, is to break Germany—and the blockade with its attendant starvation is one of Britain's chief weapons.

Hoover is aware of this argument and has sought’

to meet it in his plan, He is thinking of a neutral commission to be recognized by Britain and Germany. The British would pass its shipments through the blockade. Germany would agree that the neutral commission should have its own warehouses and control distribution of food. That is what Hoover did in Belgium in the World War and Belgium was fed

The British Attitude

Mrs. Claude Pepper and many other Democratic men and women gathered together so early in the autumn. It ‘was my first day of social functions after a long summer's rest and I was rather glad to have the handshaking divided so that neither afternoon nor evening. party was a strain. The President, as usual, was extremely busy and was still hard at work on his basket of mail at midnight. Her royal highness, the Crown Princess Martha, with her lady-in-waiting and her chamberlain, were very much elated when we met at tea time, because they had found a very comfortable house in which to live and which will require very little done to it before they move in. "This morning we flew back to New York City and a busy &afternon is about to begin. I received yesterday one of the most interesting statements I have read in a long time. It is a joint statement made by a group belonging to the National Conierence of Christians and Jews on the question of religion and democracy. I like the first two sentences: “Religion and democracy are inextricahly interwoven. Democracy’s survival and growth are not possible without religion.” Another definition is very clarifying: “We define religion as to know, to love, and to serve God.” These men are doing a splendid work in bringing together people of different religions to prove that common meeting grounds for thought and action can be found,

THAT HOLDS UP REPORT ONTAX

County Board Knows What It Wants to Say but Not How to Say It.

The drafting of the final report of the Tax Adjustment Board apparently has bogged down over word and sentence construction. The tax review body.spent three hours yesterday behind closed doors trying to piece together in one report the collective faults in public financing and budget making. They knew what they wanted to say but some.admitted they wanted to be “careful” how they said it. This week-end, the draft is in the hands of an unidentified person for “polishing.” Board members hope to be able

| to release the report Monday and sign fhe report on tax rates fixed Tuesday formally bringing to a close its three-week budget study.

Attack on Fees Likely

The reason for all the care in the wording cf- the report is because it reportedly will be one of the most bombastic in years. The poor relief situation and the fee system are expected to b> attacked and to be followed up with recommendations for changes in laws. Legislation which has been placing an increasing number of public expenditures on the mandatory list is also scheduled for attacks. The Board decision to hold monthly informal sessions with governmental officials also will be covered. with a recommendation. Although there has been sentiment among certain board members in favor of recommending changes in the composition of the Board itself, it was reported, the final report will contain no plank on this subject.

Vote Trading Changed Some board members have said they believed that the board’s makeup—four representatives of taxpayers at large and three from governmental units, schools, city and county—was disadvantageous to “good and fair budget action.” Two taxpayer representatives privately have grumbled that the representatives of the governmental units “traded” their votes to keep the larger budgets from being slashed. On Tuesday, the new rates to be paid by taxpayers next year will be certified to the State Tax Board— where budget items and rates may be reviewed Hon appeal of 10 taxpayers.

LOYALIST LEADER DEAD

MADRID, Sept. 28 (U. P.).—Prof. Julian Besteiro, who stayed in Madrid to surrender it to Generalissimo Francisco Franco on March 28, 1939, after all other members of the Loyalist Defense Council had fled, has died of tuberculosis in Carmona Prison. He was 70.

BLINDING AUTO LIGHTS SCORED

Federation of Civic Clubs Urges Use of Dimmers As Safety Move.

Indianapolis’ rising traffic accident rate today became the first target of the city’s 50 civic groups as the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs swung into the 1940-41 season last night.

Attacking the problem irom a new angle, the Federation approved a resolution urging police to crack down on motorists who drive in- | side the city limits with blinding headlights. Asserting that use of dim lights will materially cut down accidents, the resolution was 1ntroduced by ithe North Side Civic League, represented by George @. Bruce. | The delegates to the central civic | body decided to take the matter up with Safety Board officials Tuesday. | George A. Saas, advertising direc(tor. .of the Citizens Gas &| Coke Utility, spoke at the meeting, neld (at the Hotel Washington. | Paul Wetter presided. Mr. Saas detended artificial gas as compared to natural gas, stating that the city's present product was cheaper and more satisfactory than natural gas. |, A lower price . for coke Aas an economy measure and a method of | ridding the city of much |of its smog has long been an objective of the federation for many years. Mr. Saas maintained that to lower the price:of coke here would mean that gas consumers |would have to carry the difference in their gas bills. “We are interested in gas production first,” he said. ‘Coke is simply a by-product and the more we can make - on coke the less we can charge the gas consumer. Lower coke prices would necessitate|a rise in gas rates.” i Mr. Saas agreed at the con¢lusion of his talk to return to the tederation meeting Oct. 25 and iurther explain the difference between the operation of artificial gas snl aatural gas.

$1udbnis at Herron Look to New Year of Prize Competition and "Knock on Wood

By JOE COLLIER

NOBODY connected with the Herron Art School mentions the word “prize” these days. If anyone from outside happens to crack off, Herron people are apt to knock on wood, circle chairs three times and throw salt over the left

shoulder. This is a perfectly logical reaction to a prize winning binge that has extended, for the school, over a period of several years. For more than four years now, Herron students have won all the major traveling scholarships offered in this country—an everexpanding grand slam. And now the school is beginning another year which will culminate with senior students entering competitions for prizes. again. No wonder all hands are agreed that it would be knocking a chip off the shoulder of Lady Luck to have a lot of leose talk about what Herron students are going to do in competitions this spring. The remarkable string of national competition honors— greater than any other art school ever accumulated—has attracted a record first-year class to the school. The second-year class is record, too, and if things keep going sunny side up, the third-year

‘class will be a record next year. Where the recognition goes, the students go. ” 2 ”

ND now the prize winning students are coming back to roost. Clifford Jones, Herron graduate and winner of the Prix de Rome in 1937, is back this year as a member of the faculty. He is teaching drawing, painting and mural design. Donald Mattison, school director, a Prix de Rome winner himself, also has dropped the word “prize” from his vocabulary. But he can and does talk convincingly

about the aims of the school in

so far as the non-prize winning pupils are concerned. Prize winning pupils, with their scholarship money and the impetus the dis= tinction gives them, can get along all right. All commercial art students, for instance, are required to take .a

four-year course. Some other schools give relatively quick courses. But Mr. Mattison feels

that his four-year students, although they will probably have to start where all graduate students start in the commercial world, are better equipped to handle the breaks when they come than those less thoroughly grounded. Conversely, all students aiming at degrees in fine arts are required to take some first-year commercial art work, “because we think they might need it some time.” Mr. Mattison said that students who enter the school, either because they have shown proficiency in art in high school

world war coming on top of all our own difficulties should leave us- feeling that we are suddenly faced with more danger than we should be called on to handle.

But it would be strange if a nation, always at the forefront in any enterprise of daring and noted for its resourcefulness, should not meet these dangers and conquer them.

The first step, as we form fon our tremendous task, is to remember ‘our past; not only our great names but also the uncounted numbers of plain people, native and foreign-born, who created this new world, who cleared the woods and won the West and manned or armies and our ships and made our industries supreme. Then we can go ahead, looking on our country with love, on our forebears with reverence and on ourselves with confidence and honest pride’

BOARD GETS PROTEST ON JUVENILE HOME

Irvington residents today carried their protest against the proposed removal of Juvenile Court, the Detention Home and County Welfare Department into that community to the Tax Adjustment Board. A petition signed by more than 600 residents was filed with the Board which has recommended the transfer to the Children’s Guardian Home on University Ave., 5300 block. A similar petition was filed previously with the County Commissidners. . The opponents claim that moving the three departments to the East Side would work a hardship on clients, who have easier access to them in the downtown area. The opponents claimed also that streets in the neighborhood of the Irvington site are narrow and that a new traffic problem would be created by the increased number of

persons who would come to the home,

REHEARING SET J ON MILK AREA FIGHT IN EAST

hi Dairymen, Hit by Order, Expect Fair Break Now.

By EARL RICHERT

Indiana dairymen are glad that | Claude Wickard, the new Secretary | of Agriculture, is a Hoosier for rea=

son. They aren't counting on any spe= "cial concessions, but they do believe that his first-hand knowledge of mid-western dairy problems will ase sure them a carefully considered judgment on one of the most ime portant problems confronting. them in years. | Indiana dairymen, and those of eight other mid-western states, are trying to break the “China Wall” which was put around the New York area May 1 by a Department of Agriculture: order fixing geographic limits for the production of milk for sale in the marketing area of the great metropolis. This area includes most of the states of New York and New Jersey.

Helped Stabilize Prices

bilize the price of milk in the New York area, an area which was constanfly torn by milk wars and strikes. The order has helped to stabilize prices in that area. But it has stepped—and stepped hard—on the dairymen of Indiana, Illinois; Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, Kentucky and Tennessee, ! These dairymen for years had been shipping carload upon carload of sweet cream east in refrigerator gars. It was used for ice cream and other manufactured products. When the order fixing the geographic limits went into effect, it shut off the flow of cream eastward and the returning flow of (dollars into the mid-west. :

1 Rehearings Ordered

| The order, it is estimated, has cost mid-western dairymen several million dollars since May. William E. Treadway, secretary of the Indigna Committee on Inter-State CoOperation estimates that Indiana dairymen have lost well over a million dollars worth of business in that time. | The dairymen immediately protested the order, and last week they received their first favorable news from the Agriculture Department. They were notified that rehearings on the order would be held. at New York, Oct. 7; Syracuse, Oct. 9, and Albany, Oct. 11, The mid-western states are asking that the geographic limits be abolished so as to permit the flow
