Hoosier Vagabond

EVANSVILLE, Ind, Oct. 5.—If Marjorie Mobley of Boxville, Ky., is still among the living, she may be interested in reading the following litem. Today I

walked into the office of the Evansville Press and went over to say helld to my old friend, the Mail orwarding Department. But the Mail Forwarding Department was in a state of vast confusion and embarrassment. For it had just a few minutes preiously, upon looking under its ypewriter for the first time in od knows how long, found an envelope addressed to this column. | So the Mail Forwarding Department handed the envelope to e and then fled in chagrin. The nvelope, Miss Mobiey, bore the hristmas card that you sent me | more than nine months ago—the date on the postmark was Dec. 22, 1939. So thanks for your good intentions, Miss Mobley, and here's wishing you a Merry Christmas for 1940, Just to get it started in plenty of time. And please don’t feel too hard at the Mail Forwarding Department. I don’t, myself, for in truth the Mail Forwarding Department of the Evansville Press is -such a cute number that I'm just about to ask her out to lunch right now. She may be dumb about sendIng on letters, but letters aren't everything in life, I always say.

Saves His Reputation

I know another very nice girl who at the A is working as a chambermaid in‘a country hotel. She is a girl who tries to learn things and better herself. She told me the other day that she has beeen making it a practice of late to learn two new words a day. She not only learns them, but she contrives somehow during the day to use them. I asked her what two words she had learned that day, and she said “gullible” and “potential.” And then she asked me what “portentous” means. Now I really do know what ‘“‘portentous” means, but for the life of me I couldn't think how to define it. So, in order not to defile my reputation for infallibility in this girl's eyes, I just told her there

Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town’)

PROFILE OF E WEEK: Elmer Edward Taflinger, one of the town's finest artists and teachers. He doesn’t care for his first name and most persons call him “Taf.” He doesn’t like to disclose his age, either, but he's 49, He stands out in any crowd, a white-haired giant. About 6 feet tall, he weighs 200 pounds. His hair has been snow-white since his early twenties—a family characteristic. He has blue gray eyes and has a small mustache. He is recognized as an authority on the Renaissance period and his work follows that pattern. In other words, in his paintings the hands look like hands and: the figures like figures. Primarily ihe’s a muralist and has done some magnificent work along this line. The owner of a grand sense of humor, Elmer Taflinger has a lot of fun with his students although he is a hard taskmaster. He never lets a fault pass in a student’s work. His only explanation is that he couldn't do it for his own iy He is not one to commercialize on his artistic talen He would rather teach and pass along his he to students.

Qh, Those Trousers!

A bachelor, he lives with his parents. He is not interested in clothes. When painting he usually wears a pair of old white pants and wipes both his hands and his brushes on them. When he’s working on a mural it's not unusual for him to work from 7 in the morning until 11 at night. Fond. of his old clothes, he had an old battered felt hat. A while back his students threw a party for him and presented him with a brand new hat. They hid the old one but before the party was over, he'd ditched the new one and unearthed the old. Ordinarily, rather serious in appearance, his face lights up when he smiles. When he’s tickled or angry,

CHARLOTTE, N. C., Oct. 5.—As a result of visiting in several communities this week I am strongly of the opinion that the first order of business after election should be a joint congressional inquiry into

the progress of defense. People do not know what is

happening to defense. They are most anxious to know whether 1t is moving rapidly. I am asked much more about defense and labout the war prospects than about the political campaign. Willkie is raising questions about the speed of defense, and very properly. That is one subject upon which it is helpful and stimulating to prod the Administration. The more pressure on Washington the better. A congressional inquiry. conducted by the right group of men, would be healthy,

What Progress in Defense?

This inquiry should not be carried on during the political campaign, But Congress will be in session immediately after |election. The creation of a joint House and Senate|inquiry should take place at once after election and the Administration should be the first to ask for it.| Prolonged secrecy on this fateful matter of defense is bad for the country and bad for the defense organization itself. Long befcre France fell, long before ‘we faced the danger of being left isolated in the world, there was agitation for creation of a joint committee to study the whole defense question, to arrive at some idea of what we wanted tg defend and of what we needed for such defense. : Nothing happened—or rather the idea was scuttled by the petty Jealousies of regular House and Senate

She brought me enough work at 10:30 to keep me busy until 3 a. m. I did not get started so early this morning. After various telephone messages and the inevitable arrangements for the week-end, I finally mounted my horse and rode through the woods for an hour and a half. The sun is still deliciously warm, but all the flies are finally gone. There is something very invigoratin In the air so that one feels one can do twice as muc is ordinarily possible. My motner-in-law, her sister, Mrs. Price Collier and my sister-in-law, Mrs. J. R. Roosevelt, all came to lunch with me.

I had “Sweet Adeline,” “Shine on Harvest Moon,” “Goodnight Sweatheart’” and “Old Spinning Wheel,” and needed only “The Isle of Capri” in order to yell “Bingo!” — But somebody “bingoed” ahead of me, which probably was just as well, since I wouldn't know “The Isle of Capri” if I heard it. ;

A Dehghtful Meal

Those who read this column regularly know how little regard I have for the ancient and honored custom of eating. Food to me is just the same as air to a tire—we take it so we’ll run better. But the other day we had a meal that sort of threw me off my base. It was in a place called the Wonderland Inn, out in the country just a little west of the hilly little town of St. Meinrad. It was luncheon, and we had soup and fried chicken and potatoes and two kinds of fresh tomatoes and fine string beans and corn-pickle relish and cin-namon-haked apples and home-made bread and des-

It came right off the stove, and every little thing was immaculate and thoughtful, and the whole meal cost—50 cents! This is a German community. There is an oldworldly monastery on the hill overlooking the town. The Wonderland Inn, on its road signs, advertises “German Cooking.” : And we thought to ourselves—this is one of the few absolutely honest meals we've had in a coon’s age, but we suppose pretty soon some people will refuse to stop there because it's “German” cooking. It's a queer world; indeed it is.

he’s tickled or angry all over. He appears quite calm, but he’s actually a narvous, high-strung individual.

What Makes It Tick?

AS A BOY he made models of an entire U. S. fleet in wood and manuevered them on Pogue's Run. He's still wild about the sea and he’s made about 15 trips across the Atlantic. He loves railroads and he's fascinated by airplanes, although he has never taken a ride. He likes to go out to the Airport to watch the airliners come and go. He's inordinacely curious and always wants to know the whys and wherefores of things and what makes ‘em tick. If some dish strikes his fancy, it’s quite likely that he'll march back to the Kitchen to find out how it was made. He smokes cigarets and lately has come to the conclusion he smokes too many and has taken up chewing gum so that he might cut down. He loves horses and dogs. He's interested in movies from the artistic and scientific viewpoint and when technicolor arrived, he saw all of them tor a while. He reads a lot—sonnets, short stories, histories and plays. He gets a run on an author, like Dickens or Tolstoi and proceeds to read everything the man ever wrote.

He Says What He Thinks

HE ENJOYS THE radio and listens to almost €verything. He fools around trying to get foreign programs by short wave. He is delighted when he gets to hear a pair of hams talking. He was with Belasco for more than eight years and, naturally, is deeply interested in the theater. He's seldom found in an audience, though. He is usually backstage visiting old friends. He has a lot of little superstitions like knocking on wood. He always says what he thinks, always will. He's proud of Indiana and Indiana art and when the State chose Thomas Bention to do the murals tor the Chicago World's Fair, “Taf” just up and publicly threatened to have his birthplace legally changed.

committee chairmen, jealous of their prerogatives. The result was months of lost time. During the months after that Congress knocked out numerous vital recommendations of the Army and Navy. For instance, the Alaskan air base was killed, and then after Hitler invaded the low countries Congress in its panic had to reverse itself and plunge into hasty defense authorizations that only a few months before it had rejected. We might have saved much previous time had there been a real inquiry as to our needs.

. Perhaps this time we can profit by that mistake. Few know much about the true progress of defense. We know everyone is working hard. We also know that there are difficulties. We know that defense industries are not being decentralized as much as had been hoped for and that the tendency under traditional procedure is to concentrate overmuch in certain centers, thus creating highly vulnerable areas and further unbalancing the economy of some sections as ‘against others. There is some question whether we are taking full advantage of the cheap power facilities of TVA in manufacture of materials for explosives. Such questions need a check-over by a Joint committee of in-

quiry. It is of the utmost importance that such a com-

mittee be selected with great care, with equal Repub-| 10

lican representation. We want neither a white-wash commitiee nor a smelling committee but one composed of Senators and Representatives already familiar with Army and Navy affairs, who in long service have demonstrated their fair-mindedness and ability. Such men are to be found, men whose report would have a single eve to the progress of defense, whose report would win the respect of the country, and whose suggestions undoubtedly would carry the greatest weight with the Administration.

This is really a wonderful shopping center. I don’t often have the time to remember how much I could do here in the way of Christmas shopping, if I were only to put my mind on it early enough. Next week, from the 6th to the 12th of October, will be National Businesswomen’s week. They have taken as their theme: “Businesswomen in a democracy.” During the current club year they are building their program around the idea of “making democracy work.” I feel so strongly that this is a very important program and one in which all women should co-operate in forwarding. Businesswomen are accustomed to organization. They know the value of planning a program and carrying it out systematically, They know how to obtain publicity and what kind of publicity will help to spread interest in democracy. The businesswomen in this country could really organize many of the unorganized women and carry out a program of working in and for a democracy. They would first have to make sure that every woman knew what democracy meant to her and saw in terms of the way she lives her daily life. That cakes into account how she treats her friends and the

capacities where her life touches theirs and, above all, what she does to co-operate with her Government

6. 0. P. FACING TOUGH FIGHT IN SIXTH DISTRICT

Is Leaning Toward Republicans.

(This is the fifth of a series of articles on the present political trends in each of the State's 12 Congressional districts.)

By NOBLE REED One of the totuighest fights the Republicans now face to maintain their majority in Congress in the Nov. 5 election, is in the Sixth Congressional District—Comprising 10 counties north and west of Indianapolis. They put Rep. Noble 2 Johnson, Terre Haute lawyer, in Congress two years ago with a bare 1700 majority out of 150,000 votes cast in a con-

test against Virginia E. Jenckes. Democrats claim they lost the district then because Mrs. Jenckes was the center of a factional upset in that area and that this year the arty is solidly behind Lenhardt Bauer, Terre Haute attorney, who is making one of the most aggressive campaigns of any candidate in the State. The Sixth District for many years was .a Democratic stronghold.

Fifth Leans to G. O. P.

In the Fifth District—including nine counties north and east of In-dianapolis-—recent polls show that, although the area formerly was heavily Democratic, it is leaning Republican again this year. All through the first seven years of the Thirties, the Fifth went Democratic consistently, but a large mass of independent voters swung

elected Rep. Forest Harness, Kokomo Republican, by a 12,000 majority. Neutral analysts have found, however, that Rep. Harness will hold his advantage in the district only so long as the Willkie strength maintains its present status.

Auctioneer Is Foe

Running against Rep. Harness is George W. Wolf, Peru auctioneer, who is a prominent member of the State Legislature... Democrats are sure Mr. Wolf will make a strong campaign but are not counting very strongly upon a victory in the Fifth this year. Mr. Harness is a high tariff Republican and has led many attacks against the New Deal in the last two years. Mr. Wolf was the oily Democrat elected to the lower house of the Legislature from the Fifth District in 1938, and Democrats are predicting he will make a better showing than Glenn Griswold, former Democratic Congressman, did two years ago. . Bauer Needs New Deal Votes

Surveying the voting trends in the Sixth District, analysts contend that Rep. Johnson has- lost many votes - through his record in Congress. They claim that he has not made an outstanding record in the House and that many voters in the district have tured to Mr. Bauer, especially in the heavily populated areas. The election results in the Sixth also are hinging upon the Presidential contest. It will take New Deal votes to elect Mr. Bauer and if President Roosevelt slips very far below his 1936 strength. in that area, Mr. Bauer is expected to slip with him.

MILK PRICE PLAN DISCUSSION SET

The State Milk Control Board Tuesday will discuss the proposal to substitute a flexible price system for the present system of fixed prices to dairymen for milk in the Indianapolis area. The proposal, made recently by a University of Illinois professor at a public hearing here, would base the price which the dairymen get for their milk upon the Chicago butter market. The Chicago butter market goes up and down with world economic conditions, he said. and basing local milk prices upon this butter market

would create a price system more |

fair than the present for both the producer and distributor, It is said that the price system change would affect the consumer. ‘Opponents of the plan say that it would put local dairymen on a gambling basis. with their incomes going up and down with the butter market.

BUSSES TO REPLACE

The substitution of busses for traction service on the IndianapolisFt. Wayne and Muncie-New Castle lines was authorized by the Public Service Commission today.

The abandonment of the two traction lines, authorized several months ago, will leave traction service only between Indianapolis and Seymour.

Our America

We Refuse to Allow Our Props to Be Broken

By KATHARINE BRUSH

AUTHOR OF “YOUNG MAN OF MANHATTAN,” “OTHER WOMEN,” “THIS IS ON ME,” ETC,

(Last of a series of articles by 24 authors)

Not so very long ago, a few people in this country of ours decided to have a revolution. For

one thing, they were fed up with some things that a demented old man at the head of some lazy and self-important ministers wanted to do to their pocketbooks, and they were _ also sore at the way he was going about it. The policy followed was that the 13 colonies in th e New World were just that -—colonies; and should be delighted to take orders from the Mother Country. It didn’t take the king and h i s ministers long to find out, even at this early stage of American history, that Americans don't like to take orders. And the king's successors realized that the Americans were right, and ‘so they had a social revolution of their 6wn and made their country every bit as democratic as their late colonies were. But most of the ather countries in the Old World weren't as clever. Feudalism was still the order, so those who were being oppressed turned to the west. They crossed the océan by .sail and by steam and they came to America—where opportunity and the right to work existed, and were recognized. And America grew—founded on a belief in freedom. Now Americans are, without. doubt, the most generous and idealistic people in the world. We hear of an earthquake, a famine, - a flood somewhere, and immediately we jump to the rescue. It isn’t because were so darn

wealthy; it's because we pride ourselves on being humanitarian. So that’s why our backs get up when we see what is happening abroad. We firmly believe that such suffering is needless. We firmly believe that we have basically the right form of government. We firmly believe it, and

~ we'll just as firmly defend our be-

lief. There's a revolution going on in Europe—a negative one—and the outcome will mean either a reversal to feudalism or a continuance of our way of life. America is for the status quo of democratic principles. That - is the American case. These are the tenets by which we live. These are the props that we refuse to have pulled out from under us. \

JACKSON WARNS OF SABOTAGE ACTIVITY

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 (U. P).— Attorney General Robert H. Jackson warned today that foreign agents are attempting to sabotage American institutions as well as factories and military defenses. In a message read to more than 300 graduates of the National Police Academy, Mr..

SHOWERS HELP HOWE LIBRARY

Many of Its 37,000 Books Donated by Women’s Groups, Pupils.

day, in September, 1938. That was when Principal Charles M. Sharp invited ope house visitors to “step into our library and see our book”—a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. fon Now the walls of what once was a cafeteria are lined with books, most of them put there, by pupils, their parents and friends.

Cafeteria is Moved

The cafeteria was moved into the new addition opened this year and the library was carted over from a class room used until that In March, . 1939, the ParentTeacher Association decided that the solitary dictionary looked .lonesome and sponsored a “book shower.” The idea clicked with residents of the East Side and they brought more than 3000 volumes to the high school. A large number of them were appropriate for school use. With a flying start. from the “shower,” nearly every woman’s club in Irvington began donating sums of money, some of them specifying the books to| be bought.”

Choose From ‘Library

Howe also was given the privilege of selecting volumes from: the Charles S. Lewis library which had been given to DeWitt S. Morgan, schools superintendent, for use of schools. 1 But most of the books Howe was receiving were strictly for school use. Essential volumes were ‘purchased with the $200 approprifted each semester by the School Board. There were few books for recreational reading. ’ : The pupils decided to fix that themselves. At a “book week” held each semester, English classes donated coins to purchase. fiction and other lighter reading. Some of the “book week’ donations totaled as much as $60. Plan for Week in November National Book Week, Nov. 10 to 16, is to be used for adding to the recreational reading fund this semester. g : To dress up the expanded library, Howe also has installed new tables and chairs. Mrs. Jeff R. Stonex, formerly assistant . librarian. at. Tech High School, is in charge of the Howe library.

REGISTRATION OFFICE READY FOR LAST RUSH

Courthouse Open Tomorrow

With Added Facilities For Voters.

After the close of voters’ registrations at midnight Monday, election clerks will face the task of checking the files against spurious names and addresses, a bugaboo that plagues both parties every election year. Two years ago charges were hurled back and forth among party leaders that some registrations had been listed from vacant houses or busie ness buildings where no one lived. Charles R. Ettinger, County Clerk, said‘ every. effort will be made to rid the files of any illegal registra=

-| tions.

Clerks estimated today that at least 6000 more voters will register before the Monday night deadline and arrangements have been made to set up tables in the Court House corridor to handle the crowds. The

de-|

registration office will be open tomorrow from 10 a. m. to 9 p. m. and from 8 a. m. to midnight Monday. William P. Flanary, chief regise tration clerk, said that new registrations this. year included about 3500 persons who moved here from other Indiana counties. Many of them have come from Allen, Madison, Vanderburgh and Vigo coune ties, apparently taking jobs in ine dustrial plants linked with national defense production. Since the branch registration offices closed last Wednesday night, cleiks reported that an -average of 1500. to 2000 voters jammed through the Court House office daily.

The governor's office is to remain open until midnight for the filing of the slates. Five parties aliendy have filed their tickets, Democrat, Republican, Prohibition, Socialist Labor and Greenback. The Greenback Party’s slate was not accompanied by petitions, and the attorney general has*been asked to rule on whether the ticket can be placed on the ballot. Although the Communist Party has not filed a slate, petitions bearing approximately 5000 names have been submitted to the Board of Election Commissioners by the Daughters of the American Legion and various units of the American Legion asking that the party's candidates be barred from a place on the ticket. Indiana Lions Clubs have also asked that the party be barred, in a resolution sent to Governor Townsend. The Election Board is to meet at the governor's office at 2 .p. m, Monday to decide which parties shall go on the ballot. D. A.
