the big things keeping | Nelson | Rockefeller busy these days is the fact that Latin Americans can't quite forget the U. S. Marines and | «dollar diplomacy. | Saddled with the lengthy title of co-ordinator for the National De*fense Commis- | sion of Cultural ‘and Commercial Relations with Latin America, young Rockefeller has ‘become chief Salesman, field ‘marshal and kink remover «for the whole good neighbor -¢policy. The Latins ~like the policy «fine, he says, * : +but they keep Mr. Rockefeller swond ering “Is “this real, and, if so, how long does tit last? Are those people trying to ‘help us or to exploit us? [If they're helping us, is it for keeps or just while the war lasts?” “I realize we're under suspicion,” ‘he says. “Right now this office is ,8tudying all the plans people have ssuggested for helping the Latin Americans and making them like «us better, We've got to improve our seultural relations in two directions #—our own people must do their part ito know and like the Latin Amer.dcans better, too.”

“4 Trade Must Come First

There ‘are two angles to this pol:icy, as he sees it. Improvement of ;ocur cultural relations has got to be #built on improvement of trade rela‘tions. + In the commercial field, Rockefeller has to act as a sort of liaison “man, Commerce Department is try“ing to help U, S. exporters increase their sales in South America. * It's up to Rockefeller to see that each group of experts knows what the other groups are doing and that the whole job is co-ordinated . properly.

Ash Collectors Work Hard, But Can't Please Everybody

By RICHARD LEWIS

The City ash collector took off his gloves and shook out the ash dust. “Well, you know how it is,” he said, looking at the sky. “Even old Abe Lincoln couldn’t satisfy all of the people. So how could I?” This is Arthur Bradfield speaking, a veteran of the Indianapolis Garbage and Ash Cgllections Department. They say in the department he used to be a preacher. He has a bassv profundo speaking voice which booms out over the roar of the ash train. . With a graceful overhand heave, Mr. Bradfield neatly deposited a pile of ashes atop fhe trailer. A tin can rolled off the heap of refuse. Mr. Bradfield scooped it up on the roll, like a bunt down third, and without looking tossed it into the wagon,

They All Don't Agree

“No sir,” observed Mr. Bradfield as the train rumbled down the alley. “No sirree. You can’t get all of the people to agree with you no matter what you do. ; “Now the other day, a man comes after me and tells me I didn’t pick up his ashes. How can I pick up his ashes, I tell him, if he puts them all into one big container I can hardly lift up. “Why doesn’t he put them into

several little baskets? Then I could

pick them up. You know how much ashes weigh if they get wet? Try to pick up wet ashes some time, Try

throwing it up in that wagon over

your head. “Boy, it simply cannot be done.” And Mr, Bradfield gave a long, hearty chuckle at the world and all the ashes in it. “It cannot be- done,”

again. And he strode off after the bage was frozen so fast they took

ash train.

“Of course,” said Herb Eberhardt,

jconsigesing the problem scientifi-| cally, “the best way is to put out | the ashes in bushel baskets—or containers about that size, “You know, most people don’t realize how heavy it is. They manage to drag the ashes to the back alley. . But when they come in small bunches, you appreciate it. Mr. Eberhart has been with the Collections Department three years. He has his own horse team, for which the City pays him a contract price. He works it with his partner, Babe Russel. A collections man who works a full 48-hour week makes $21.80. Occasionally, he gets overtime. Not | often. The work is all physical, all out-of-doors and there are no holidays except Sundays and Christ mas. Weight Even Changes

A collections man loses weight in the summer, gains it back in| the winter. Mr. Eberhardt thinks] they eat more than other people] They're certainly hungry at the end of the day, he says. Collections men run across some | odd things. An _ innocent-looking wash tub will seem to weigh a ton. The collections man will probe to find slabs of concrete under the lashes. Some of them will collect it anyway, some won't. Only once has cold weather stopped collections in the department’s history. That was on a Wednesday in January, two years ago. The order went out to lay off, but one man didn’t get it. The inspector found him on the Wednesday route with” his team, | half-frozen. But he was still working. . | The men

Nipped By Frost

The men are used to frost-bitten fingers and ears. Most of them would like to have jobs where there {wasn’t so much lifting in all kinds] of weather. But— | | “A man’s got to make a living,” one of them said. | | Men who have been on the job for years get acquainted with the (folks in the neighborhood in an] |impersonal way. They know which | ones are “touchy” and “go easy.” Most people help, though. Even a little thing like placing the garbage or ashes close to the alley, | in the same spot each week, saves time. They know they can’t please ev-| erybody. Not even Abe Lincoln could do that.
