Hoosier Vagabond

KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 16.—Some friends were telling me about a little girl out in the country near here who has to lie down all the time. It’s someShe even lies (down in the

So we drove out to see her. We found her lying on a pillow on her grandfather’s front porch. It was Sunday afternoon and scads of family were visiting there. The family name is Lones, and you don’t pronounce it like Jones, but like Jonas. The-nome place is on a hilltop a few miles outside of Knogxville. There are lovely hills and valleys all around, and from the Lones place the view is almost like one of those lookouts in the national parks where you pull off the road for a good look. Everybody was sitting on the front porch when we got there. And in good country fashion they were tickled to see us, and hustled out some extra chairs, and made us feel as though we were long lost Lones

: ‘ourselves, come home from the wars.

- Grandpa Sam has family all around him, in every direction. “Why, I've gotiso many grandchildren you couldn't get half of them on that porch,” he says. And one of them is Margaret Anne Lones. Her father died a year ago, and now she and her mother and her little sister Betty live in a farmhouse just a hundred yards down the slope from Grandpa's place.

She’s Smart and Pretty

Margaret Anne is 10. It is true she has to lie down most all the time. But, unlike other people confined to beds, she is perfectly able to use every muscle in her body. It's just that in a vertical position she runs out of oxygen and faints. They didn’t discover it until she was eight months old. A constant- nausea brought the first attention of the specialists. They discovered that a valve in her heart had never closed properly. When she stands up, her oxygen is shut off. The doctors said she probably wouldn’t live past 4.

; But she is 10 now, and the doctors think she may live . to be a gray-haired old lady.

Margaret Anne is very pretty, she is not bashful at all, and she is smart. Her personality is sweet,

ings of an Irvington apartment custodian who has a distinguished record in meteorology. For years now he has kept a daily record of the temperature. He puts 'em down twice, once when he goes to bed and again at 5 a. m. when he gets up just to see how the weather is. His figures show that this fall is lots warmer than most of those in recent years. This checks out with his other record—the fact that he hasn't used nearly so much coal so far this fall as he did last year. But he really clinches the whole affair when he turns to the subject of squirrels. In most years, squirrels rush around grabbing and burying

“Whenever,” he said seriously, “a squirrel just laughs at you when you offer it a nut, it’s going to be a mild winter.” We hope Mr. Armington doesn’t pass over this squirrel thing too lightly.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—Willkie is bearing down hard on the theme that if private industry is let alone it will forge ahead and provide jobs for all. The New Deal point of view is that private indus try cannot do the job alone. Such popular interpreters of the New Deal as Stuart Chase and David Cushman Coyle express the belief that public spending is here to stay, that the stagnation of the 1930's revealed the inadequacy of private capitalism . to maintain’ the necessary volume of production and 'consuming power. Throughout that period private industry was assisted by public spending. Now we are coming into a gigantic production period stimulated by the defense. program— the biggest peace-time spending program on record. As that will continue for some time, there will be no opportunity. even if Willkie should be elected. to test his contention that private industry could carry the whole load on its own. New Dealers argue that there are many enterprises which private capitalism can’t undertake. TVA is. cited as one. Before the TNEC a number of pro-New Deal economists argued that there was not enough industry to utilize the surplus capital—and that this capital was piling up and had to be circulated through Government non-profit projects to avoid stagnation. Stuart Chase, one of the consultants in that inquiry, thinks that a two-cylinder pump is needed permanently, one cylinder for private investment and one for public investment.

Wallace Views in Book

Henry Wallace. Vice Presidential candidate, in a book just published by the Home Library Foundation entitled “The Price of Freedom,” says that if private -capital cannot do all of the job of making it possible for the people of the United States to utilize their resources, then Government capital must do the necessary work. He says it cannot be otherwise in a capitalistic .system that fails to provide work for millions of people. The New Dealers also challenge the contention

My Day

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Tuesday. —Yesterday, after writing my column in my son's office, I went back to his apartment to see a friend and have lunch.

Early in the afternoon Mrs. Melvyn Douglas took me out to attend a tea given by a large group of Democratic women. Later, my son called for me and we went together to see his friends, Mr. and Mrs. Maurice Benjamin.

It was James’ night for drilling with his battalion of Marines, so I went and watched him from the gallery. I can’t say that anything military has ever given me much pleasure, for I still hope that some day we will reach a state of civilization where we can find, as William James suggested so long 20, the ‘moral equivalent for Ww.

her attitude forndl and she takes part in the conversation. She oan lie on her back all right, but through the years has developed the habit of lying on her stomach, the better to see what's going on around her. She sort of doubles her legs up under her, and rests on her elbows. She sleeps on her side. Her legs are thin, due to lack of normal exercise. But she can and does get up frequently and run around a little bit. She can’t stay up long. About five minutes at the most: She jumped up and ran in the house two or three times while we were there, but each time she came back her face was a dark blue. A few more minutes and she would have fainted, just as an aviator passes out from lack of oxygen.at too high an altitude. She had walked up to Grandad’s that morning. But three times during the short journey she had to stop and lie down beside the gravel road on her stomach.

Happy in School

She is going to school this year for the first time. She probably loves school more than any child in America. It’s a black day when something keeps her at home. Her parents started teaching her at home before normalsschool -age. The result is that now—in the third grade—she is actually ahead of the other children in some of her subjects. She thinks she would like to be a bookkeeper when she grows up. A neighbor drives her to school on his way to work, and another neighbor brings her home. The teacher has built a little cot near her desk, and Margaret Anne lies there during school hours. At recess she walks outside and lies down to watch the other kids play. - ‘Mrs. Lones. says that Margaret Anne used to be despondent over her plight, and wonder why she couldn’t be like other children. But going to school has changed all that. She has seen only one movie—and only part of that one. She saw the Mickey Mouse, and part of a picture the Quintuplets were in. But, since she couldn’t lie down in the movie, she got very sick and they had to leave right quick, ; Margaret Anne reads a great deal. I told her if I wrote a column about her, maybe peopla would write to her. She said she’d like that. Her address is Route 15, Knoxville, Tenn.

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town’)

Those R-Cards

INCIDENTALLY, A LOT of local folks have been made uneasy by the fact that they have to carry their Registration cards on them all the time. If they're

as careless with their R-cards as they've been with their Social Security cards they're going to do a lot of explaining. .. . A timid young lady walked into the White-Haines optical shop yesterday, wandered over to a customer and then got all tangled up. Said she: “Is this where you wait to have a conscription filled?” . .. We notice in the classified ads that a local inventor is seeking backing for an airplane control. We'd have asked, but he needs a half a million and we. got scared. . . . There was a lot of confusion in Seymour the other evening. Glenn Hillis, the G. O. P, Governor candidate, was due to make a speech at the Country Club at 6 o'clock. He got into town and sat down in the station to wait. Nobody at the Country Club thought to meet him and they were waiting for him to show up. Mr. Hillis waited until 8 o'clock and then walked over to the high school and delivered his speech there.

that private capitalism working automatically: without

-Government interference will operate satisfactorily.

Thurman - Arnold, Assistant Attorney General in charge of anti-trust prosecutions, has voluminous evidence that private enterprise does not function freely and automatically but that if left alone it sets up its own restrictions—what Arnold calls its own private toll gates. He means monopolistic restrictions, price agreements, allocation of territory, indirect use of patents to restrict production and competition, and similar clogging of free competitive enterprise. SEC came into being because, among other things, financial managers of industry were promoting enter-

prises from the point of view of making quick |

winnings rather than from a production point of

‘view. Holding-company legislation was enacted be-

cause financial manipulators were milking operating companies.

The Profit Motive Collective-bargaining legislation and wage-hour legislation were enacted essentially because the rigors

of private management in some instances were bearing down unduly upon employees and it: was thought that: the general welfare required protection for them. As New Dealers see it. the visicn of private enterprise functioning automatically for the general welfare is not always borne out in reality. There are times, they think, when the profit motive, instead of working directly for the general good, works against it. When such effects are too severe, they believe the Government should cushion them. Finally, in the immediate picture, they see the defense program making heavy demands on production facilities, creating bottlenecks, requiring special financing because . of the uncertain future of such enterprises, and in some ways interfering abnormally with the normal industrial processes so as to require, at various times, governmental traffic control. They see the possible - necessity of measures to prevent extreme price changes growing out of abnormal demands. In brief, they don’t see a chance of going into industrial 1aissez faire. They don’t think Willkie could either, if he should become President, no matter how deeply he believes in the ability of privais enterprise to carry the ball alone.

for a trained man, in case of war or any emergency, can render better service and protection to himself than if he were an inexperienced recruit. Two of

the boys, James and Franklin Jr., took courses in|

college and have had periods of training during the years since then. Since they are in the Reserves, they only know that when they are called their service lasts for the duration of the emergency. It does make for a slight uncertainty as to the arrangements to be made in business and the normal activities of life, for the emergency may last for a few months, or it may last a few years. I think, perhaps, a great many of the people who have been executives are going to meet the greatest test of their ability as such. Now they must choose the right people to leave in charge and so organize that they, themselves, will be as little missed as possible. Not easy to do, but it can be done.

1 IN 4 OF MEN INFIRST CLASS T0 BE CALLED

Volunteers Expected to Fill Some Quotas; Titled Soldier Signs in N. Y.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16 (U. P.).— A man registering today has less than one chance in four of being conscripted within the next year, even if he is fit and has no dependents and no essential job. Here's how is works out: An estimated 16,404,000 men from 21 to 36 will register. Officials figure 20 per cent will be classified later as I-A, the class subject to immediate call. That would be a total of 3,280,000 men. The Army plans to induct 800,000 in the next 12 months—400,000 between now and March 1; another 400,000 in April. Those figures indicate one chance in 4.10 of being conscripted. But there is another factor that will reduce that chance—volunteers. After registration is over, any registrant—and boys from 18 to 21, too— may volunteer through his local draft board. These volunteers will be counted first against draft quotas; then only enough men will be conscripted to fill out the quotas. Officials believe that in some areas thére will be enough volunteers to

fill the entire quotas. 2 ” ”

Rep. Grant on List

WASHINGTON—Rep. Robert A. Grant (R. Ind.) was among the 15 members of the House of Representatives who registered for selective service. He signed up at South Bend, Ind. his home district.

Senator Rush Holt (D. W.. Va.) was the only member of the upper house affected. Members of Congress, while required to register, are excused from the call to service as long as they remain in Congress.

8 8 Count Registered NEW ' YORK—Count Rene

of Lafayette (and therefore by statute an American citizen), registered today for a call to service in the United States Army. Six months ago Count de Chambrun was one of the youngest captains in the French Army. He served in the Maginot Line and with the British in Belgium and Flanders as a liaison officer. This morning he slipped out of his midtown. hotel and went to a nearby public school where he answered the registration clerk’s questionnaire. 2

PARKING ‘LICKS’ 2 CITY BOARDS

Zoning Group Loses Bout Just Like Safety Officials Did.

Overnight curb parking in Indianapolis has proved too hot a potato for at least two City Hall boards to handle. The Zoning Board, which sallied forth two weeks ago to solve the problem, backed away yesterday. Last winter, the Safety Board tackled the problem by attempting to enforce a tail light ordinance, but was thrown for a loss. Meeting in special session yesterday, the Zoning Board approved the petition of Everett A. Carson for a $175,000. apartment building at 1215 N.. Pennsylvania St. The petition had previously been postponed on the Board's contention that Mr. Carson should provide parking space. At yesterday’s meeting, Board members agreed they had no juris<

diction over parking, the only obstable to the apartment petition.

LANDON EMPHASIZES UNITY OF AMERICA

ATLANTIC, Ia. Oct. 16 (U. P.) — Alfred M. Landon, 1936 Republican Presidential candidate, warned last night that the dictators were “making a very grave error” if they mistook the rivalry of the political campaign for disunity in the United States. “We Americans do not conduct our political affairs with that attitude,” he said .in an address in support of Wendell L. Willkie, “Whoever is elected will be my President for the next four years.”

frequently within the Administration and among labor leaders. At the risk of being accused of misplaced chivalry, I will assert that Mme. Perkins has done some good deeds. One, which Mr. Pegler ought to applaud, was the cleansing of the Department of Labor of a flock of labor politicians of the lower order. , Mme. Perkins also supervised the drafting of the Federal Social Security Act and she had an important hand in the Wages-and-Hours and Labor Relations Acts. To Mr. Pegler these laws may be only additional proof of the general corruption of politicians. Mr. Willkie, however, seems to think’ enough of them to indorse them. For several years Mme. Perkins has been a target for fierce criticism because, as an administrator, she has sedulously protected civil liberties.

Of course, each of the main divisions of organized labor thinks the Department of Labor should be its personal property, so that the lot of anyone who, like Mme. Perkins, tries to make it serve all labor instead of one faction, is bound to be difficult. For a time it seemed that Mme. Perkins’ worst failure was in her effort to handle John L. Lewis.

" But that no longer can be re-

|The movies’ heroes—or the suprise

ingly few young enough—joined the rest of America’s young men today in registering for the draft. Most ‘of the top-flight heart throbs, like Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Spencer Tracy, Ronald Colman and Cary Grant, were too old. Even those he-men of the horse operas, Bill Boyd, Buck Jones and George O’Brien topped the 36-year~ old mark. Of the hundred or so actors who did register, most were married; many also were paying alimony to their exes. Single. men with an even-stephen chance of becoming soldiers ine cluded James Stewart, Orson Welles, Cesar Romero and Broderick Crawford. Virtually all of the others could list dependents.

Some Out of Town:

The registrants arranged mostly to sign their names at polling places before they went to work on the sound stages. A few, like Gene Autry in New York, John Wayne at Big Bear Lake, Cal, and Robert Preston, in Seattle, took advantage of traveling regulations to register away from home. Kay Kyser and his band of 16 men, all under 36, marched en masse to a polling place across the street from R-K-O studios, where they were appearing in a picture. Orrin Tucker; another band leader, working at Paramount, said that although he was single, he had 45 d¥pendents—the members of his or= chestra. If he goes into the army, all 45 lose their jobs. James Stewart and Bob Cume mings were the only first class avie ators among Hollywood's draftees, Best shot, perhaps, was Bob Stack— who gave Deanna ‘Durbin her first movie kiss—and who is a champion ship skeet shooter. Andy Big Problem Andy Devine and ‘Laird Cregar went through the motions of rege istering, but didn’t expect to be called; Devine weighs 275 pounds, Cregar, 310. Mischa Auer was one of the few comedians young enough to sign up. He will be 36 next month. Other prominent registrants ine cluded Robert Taylor, Lew Ayres, Lee Bowman, John Carroll, Tony Martin, John Shelton, Robert Young, Bob Crosby, Kent Taylor, Tim Holt, Richard Carlson, Smiley, Burnette, Don Ameche, John Carridine, Henry Fonda, John Payne, Tyrone Power, Alan Curtis, John Sutton, Jeffery Lynn, Eddie Albert, Wayne Morris, John Garfield, Wil= liam Lundigan, Dennis Morgan, Ray, Milland, Bill Holden, Albert Dekker, Sterling Hayden, Robert Paige, Artie Shaw, Skinnay Ennis, John Howard, Johnny Mack Brown, Dick Foran, Franchot Tone, Lon Chaney Jr, Noah Berry Jr., and Erroll Flynn.
