Hoosier Vagabond

; WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—This little item, I guess, would have to be filed under the head of Irony. ; For five years we've been driving constantly around the United States. We've never been arrested, never had a traffic ticket, never been bawled out by a cop. Then we come back to the old home town, and the very second night we're here we get a parking ticket. It said we had parked within 25 feet of a stop sign, or some-~ thing like that. I reckon we did. “So I went over to the Third Precinct this morning and gave the boys $2. They wrote me all down in their big book. So now I'm a criminal. Hallelujah, I'm a criminal. There was just one nice thing § about it. The two policemen who took my money turned out to be readers of this column, and they stood and talked about it, just as though I were an ordinary citizen instead of a criminal. It kind of rehabiliated me, as they say.

White Goose Feathers

After getting out of the police station, I scurried around and. investigated the white-goose-feather situation, You may be startled to learn that there almost isn’t any white-goose-feather situation, The war has killed it. | It seems that we, the American public, have been educated into believing that a pillow isn’t fit to lay your head on unless it’s filled with white goose feathers. Personally, I though|all pillows were filled with sawdust, but, of course, I'm not educated. Anyhow, the bulk of our white goose feathers came from such extinct places |as Czechoslovakia, Poland, Rumania, Belgium and France. And you know how many white goose feathers we're getting out of there right now. . Experts say gray goose feathers are as good as white ones. These come [from China, and are still coming. So we can, in the future, use gray goose or chicken feathers. | Americans buy around 3,500,000 pillows a year, The

By Ernie Pyle

Army is buying more than a million, The first order is to be filled with chicken feathers. Why don’t we supply our own white geese feathers? you ask. Well, that’s because Americans don’t care much for goose as food. A fellow can’t afford to raise geese just for the feathers. Furthermore, an old goose that hisses and comes charging at you scares me to death. If all-Americans were like me, and this country was filled with geese, there would be a national panic within 24 hours. I'd rather just sleep on straw.

A Letter of Thanks

I have a letter from Margaret Anne Lones, the little girl near Knoxville who has to lie down all the time because of a faulty valve in her heart. Well, the kind-hearted public has descended upon Margaret Anne by mail. She writes that she has received more than 1200 letters, and some 75 books, packages and other gifts. She wants me to thank everybody, through the column, for writing to her. She would do it personally, except she figures it would take her several years. At any rate, she says, “I'm the happiest and most excited girl in the world,” so that should be thanks enough for all the kind people who wrote her, Earlier this fall, we had a column from Evansville about watch repairing. In it we said that our special watch repairman averaged about 10 watches a day. But all kinds of letters have been coming in saying it can't be done. Maj;be I misunderstood, but I don’t think so. 'I remember my friend saying he had to work at home at night to get that many done. And I assume that he included small jobs, such as putting in new crystals, which wouldn’t take long. The United Horological Association of America, Inc. has written in taking issue with the 10-watches-a-day principle. They suggest I do another column on horology, so maybe I'll do that if I ever get time, In the meantime, I wish the United Horologists would conduct an investigation to find out why the crystals pop out of my- wrist watch about every six months, apparently for no reason at all. They've been doing it for eight years now and I'm getting tired of it.

vl aha. : Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town’)

YOU MAY THINK the Indianapolis housing problem is a serious one, but you can take it from us that it is only a flyspeck on the housing problem out at Ft. Harrison. It isn’t the enlisted men and the draftees (The War Department, by the way, doesn’t like that word. They prefer “selectees.”| For “psychological reasons,” they explain). Anywdy, the fact is that they have officers falling all over each other out at the Fort. The trouble really is| that Fort Custer, Michigan, which is to be the headquarters of | the Fifth Division "(of which our 11th Infantry is a part), ‘isn’t reafly yet for all the regular soldiers | and they're having to mark time here. . They have tents thrown up in . the CMTC section and they're making the best of things for the time being. The Fort has finally selected its two hostesses for the draftees. The hostesses will supervise the activities of the service clubs and chaperone dances, etc. The minimum age for a hastess is 35, maximum age 55. There were two openings. The applications totaled 3000, The Reserve Officers no| longer have their biggest worry, though. The War | Department's order dispensing with the use of sabers came just in time. The officers were falling over those swords like vaudeville tumblers. We tell you that just defense problems.

‘Washington

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 21i—I have often thought that one of my shortcomings as a newspaper columnist

is that there are many days when I come down to the office without an opinion all white-hot and ready to, burn its way through the typewriter and to the printed page. ’ Everyone, especially a newsa paper columnist, is expected to have an opinion on any subject in the day's news. It may be a good opinion, or a poor one, but strong of weak, an opinion he ‘must have. I go but among my friends. They fix me with sharp eye and demand to know what I think, What do |I think about the aircraft strike? Will Britain hold @ out? What about Joe Kennedy? : »The Greeks? John L. Lewis? Everybody else fas an opinion. You're a columnist. What do: you tHink? Then [comes my feeble contribution. More than half the time I let them down. They have caught me cold without an .opinion, with nothing but a vague, stammering, evasive reply. They look at me accusingly and think I am holding out on them, saving it up for a column. |Half the time I let it go at that rather than make ithe shameful confession that I haven't any very definite opinion.

How to Attract Attention.

It must be great never to be in doubt, always to know what you think, to know right off whether the great man whose name has been on every tongue is a saint or a skunk for what he said in a political speech the other night. In writing a column one| feels he is letting his readers down unless he has a hard-hitting opinion to serve up six days a week on the regular deadline. The writer who appears in print these days without clubbing his readers over the head with an opinion is put down as an odd fellow, with something missing, as if he had walked down the street without a necktie.- All of this has made me very unhappy,

My Day

. WASHINGTON, Wednesday.—Another Thanksgiving Day Las come to us. In almost every country in the world, after the harvest is taken in, they have some kind of thanksgiving. festival. Our own feast was connected with the safe harvesting of a food supply by! our Pilgrim Fathers, but they gave thanks also that they had escaped the attacks of the Indians, the cold of the winter, and that ships had reached them with| supplies from faraway England. From their day to ours, this custom has come to be observed in every. part of our union, and at different times we have given thanks for many and varied things. i Today &s a nation, we give thanks and foremost for the fact that we are at peace. All of life is a struggle; at least, if shculd be a constant and unending struggle to make the world a better place in which to live. The struggle goes on constantly against our baser nafures, but we, as individuals, are able to carry it on today without being weighed. down by the knowledge that in order even to exist ourselves we must try to destroy our fellow human beings—people who live in some other bit of land and speak some other language, who claim some other nationality and yet who have the same needs and the same desires we have ourselves, and

preceding the orchestra’s concert at Purdue the otner night. In the midst of the dinner, Ernest Friedlander, the principal cellist, burst into the dining room to announce breathlessly that his dress clothes were locked up in one of the orchestra’s busses. Mr. Miner excused himself and with Mr. Friedlander rushed through West Lafayette hunting the bus driver. They didn’t find him, but they did find the bus and Mr. Miner, still in white tie and tails, crawled through a window and searched the bus to no avail. He was, by this time, thoroughly disheveled, dinnerless and distracted. But just before things got completely out of hand, Mr. Friedlander, recalled, with the absent-mindedness characteristic of genius, that he had taken his suitcase out of the bus after all. They hurried to Purdue’s new music hall and, sure enough, there was the suitcase sitting outside the musicians’ dressing room, just where Mr. Friedlander had left it.

He Can’t Give Thanks

AN IRVINGTON MAN who drives a lot has discovered a new use for our traffic chart. He watches the number of speeding cases each day and he says he can judge pretty well from it whether he can afford to take a few chances speeding or whether he'd better observe the law. He hasn't been arrested yet. . . . While you're being thankful today, give a thought to the distressing plight of the young Indianapolis man who covers several states as representative of a large industrial farm firm. Turkey and the trimmings are rapidly becoming just a memory. He would like to be thankful, but it seems that his schedule both last year and this routed him to Tennessee for the week we observe Thanksgiving and back here the week Tennessee sits down to give thanks. He hopes next year to work in two Thanksgivings so that he can even up the score. In the meantime, he’s down in Tennessee having a Thanksgivingless day. I

especialy during the political campaign. It wasn't a crime in that campaign to have the most vicious, unwarranted, insupportable opinion but it was a crime not to have an opinion. Better a poor one than none at all. Readers wrote in protesting. Why didn't I have the guts to say what I thought? That's what they wanted me to answer them. No beating around he bush that way, Clapper. Someone kindly directed me to an old book of essays, first published 30 years ago by H. W. Fowler, and the one for my case was entitled, “If I Had Opinions.”

Here's One Way Out

I had thought all this busines was of recent origin, but 30 years ago this author found that it was hardly permitted to anyone to have no opinions at all. He observed that whenever he raised a question among his friends, someone was always certain to reel off a systematic lecture about it which showed a thorough consideration of the subject in all its bearings. He concluded that they gave all their leisure time to forming opinions and to organizing their thoughts neatly so that at a moment’s notice they could put their hands on a set of opinions about any subject. in earth or heaven. Having no opinions of his own, he “was reduced to borrowing them from others and found that it worked very well. Not a bad idea. When one seis about to inform himself so that he may reach an intelligent opinion, he finds so much on both sides that it is obvious one side is not all wrong and the other all right. He becomes one of those colorless, uninteresting, and universally scorned “Yes—but” persons. That's all he gets for his trouble. But if he skips all the study and inquiry, snatches up the first opinion that he comes across and thrusts it aloft as his opinion which he will defend to the death, he becomes a strong, decisive man who knows his own mind. He may become a great leader of men. The multitudes bow before such self-confident wisdom. The first thing you. know you may have a dictator. Then you can’t have any opinions of your own. But now were going around in a circle so let's forget it.

whom we could love and understand if it were not for this thing called war. Next in our category of national thanks, I think, comes the knowledge that as a nation we are growing steadily in the understanding of what democracy means to us. We are free to register our will politically, to worship God as we see fit, to insist that even those with whom we disagree shall have the right to express their opinions, and that all men shall .come before the bar of justice with the presumption that they are innocent until they are proved guilty, and with the right to defend their beliefs and their actions. We are thankful for our natural resources, for the productivity of our land, for the resourcefulness and ingenuity of our people, for their character and their courage which gives to our leaders the courage to look ahead and visualize a brighter day in the future. As an individual, I am grateful for health and strength, the love of family and friends, for the power to enjoy many things, for the ability to see the humor in life which softens the bitterness, and above all else for the ability and the opportunity to give a helping hand in one way or another to some of those who need it temporarily. I can easily forgive my enemies for I so greatly value my friends, and on this Thanksgiving Day my wish for all of you who read this column is that life may give you a chance to be grateful for what you receive because you love the giver, and that you may have the joy of giving of yourself to those whom you

Hitler Plans New Religion

(INSTALLMENT FOUR)

This is the fourth installment of “The Voice of Destruction,” in which an intimate associate of Adolf Hitler from 1932 to -1935 reveals the innermost plans of the Dictator as he told them to his close associates. Yesterday's installment dealt with his plan to crush the established churches and found a new Germanic religion, and today’s chapter continues that discussion.

a really big thing,” said Hitler. “Why, what an organization! It’s something to have lasted nearly two thousard years! We must learn from it. Astuteness and knowledge of human nature are behind it. “Catholic priests know where the shoe pinches. But their day is done, and they know it. They are far too intelligent not to see that, and to enter upon a hopeless battle. But if they do, I shall certainly not make martyrs of them. We shall brand them as ordinary criminals. I shall tear the mask of honesty from their faces. And if that is not enough, I shall make them appear ridiculous and contemptible. “I shall order films to be made about them. We shall show the history of the monks on the cin--ema. Let the whole mass of nonsense, selfishness, repression and deceit be revealed; how they drained the money out of the country; how they haggled with the Jews for the world; how they committed incest. We shall make it so thrilling that everyone will want to see it. There will be queues outside the cinemas. And if the pious burghers find the hair rising on their heads in horror, so much the better. The young people will accept it—the

can do without the others.” “I promise you,” he concluded, “that if = wished to, I could destroy the Church in a few years: it is hollow and rotten and false through and through. One push and the whole structure would collapse. We should trap the priests by their notorious greed and self-indulgence. “We shall thus be able to settle everything with them in perfect peace and harmony. I shall give them a few years’ reprieve. Why should we quarrel? They will swallow anything in order to keep their material advantages. Mat=ters will never come to a head. They will recognize a firm will, and we need only show them once or twice who is the master. Then they will know which way the wind blows. They are no fools. The Church was something really big. Now we're its heirs. We, too, are a Church. Its day has .gone. It will not fight. I'm quite satisfiled. As long as youth follows me, I don’t mind if the old people limp to the confessional. But the young ones—they will be different. I guarantee that.”

” ” »

T the time, I regarded this whole speech as sheer braggadoccio, and as a concession to Streicher. Nevertheless, it shook me to the depths. I had not suppused Hitler capable of so much cynicism. Later I was to remember it many times—at the time of the currency trials, and then of the immorality trials of Catholic priests, the purpose of which was to brand them as criminals in the eyes of the masses and thereby deprive them in advance of the halo of martyrdom. It was cunning, and as

DRIVER PAYS FOR ABUSING KINDNESS

Thurman Arbuckle, 2005 Bosart Ave., stood before the bench and watched Municipal Court Judge John McNelis finger a slip of paper. It was an old probation report. “When people are nice to you, you apparently don’t believe in returning the kjndness” Judge McNelis said. The report showed the defendant had been placed on probation a year ago to pay traffic fines totaling $55 and that the fines were still unpaid, with the last report to probation officer shown as*of January. In addition, the defendant faced four new charges, arising out of a traffic accident, one of which was drunken operating. “I was gracious to you a year ago —you didn't appreciate my kindness,” Judge McNelis said. “I'm going to give it to yeu now.” The probation was revoked, the driver's license suspended, and new fines totaling $80 and 90 days on the Indiana State Farm, were levied.

COUGHLIN, LINDBERGH ARE ICKES’ TARGETS

CAMDEN, N. J,, Nov. 21 (U. P.).

—Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and

the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin were under attack today by Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes as “tools of Nazi propagandists.” . “Only two months ago,” Mr. Ickes told the Beth-El forum last night, “the Nazis in Los Angeles, at their meeting in Deutches Haus, offered their nomination for the Presidency of the United States to Charles A. Lindbergh.” Switching his attack to Father Coughlin, Mr. Ickes asserted that the clergyman “gets his propaganda from German sources.” As in an earlier speech made yesterday at New York, the Cabinet member described Col. Lindbergh and Father Coughlin as “native-

has since transpired, long-planned scheme, for which Hitler himself is solely responsible. I heard little more after this. The only thing that interested me further was the Fueher’'s ostentatious contempt for the Protestant church. Hitler by no means shared the hopes and desires of many militant, anti-Rome Protestants, who thought to shatter the Roman church with the aid of National Socialism, and establish an essentially evangelical, German, united church of which Catholics would be expected to form a subordinate section. I have spoken many times since then with the Reich Bishop Muller, who was very nearly my predecessor as President of the Danzig Senate. His ambitions lay in this direction. “The Protestants haven't the faintest conception of a church,” I heard Hitler saying, “You can do anytning you like to them— they will submit. They're used to cares and worries. - They have neither a religion that they can take seriously nor a great position to defend like Rome.” The conversation ebbed again into unimportant details and mere abuse, and rose only once more to higher levels of interest. Hitler was speaking about the peasantry, claiming that under their Christian exterior, the old eternal heathendom still lurked, and broke out again and again.

” z = “ OU'RE a farmer,” he said, turning to me. “What can you tell us about it? How are

conditions in your district?” I rose and joined the group. In our district, I said, we had highly

rationalized farming where there was little of the old customs left. But no doubt it was true: if you scratched the surface ancient, inherited beliefs were revealed. “You see.” Hitler returned triumphantly: “that is what I'm building: on. Our peasants have not forgetten their true religion. It still lives. It is merely covered over. The Christian mythology has simply coated it like a layer of tallow. It has preserved the true contents of the pot. The old beliefs will be brought back to honor again. In our “Green Week” and in the “Traveling Agricultural Exhibition” we will allude to our inherited religion in picturesque and expressive language that even the simplest peasant can understand. “The peasant shall learn to hate the Church. Gradually he will be taught by what wiles the soul of the German has been raped. We shall -wash off the Christian veneer and bring out a religion peculiar to our race. And this is where we must begin. Not in the great cities, Goebbels! There we shall only lose ourselves in the stupid godlessness propaganda of the Marxists: free sex in nature and that sort of bad taste. . The urban masses are empty. Where all is extinguished, nothing can be aroused. But our peasantry still lives in heathen beliefs and values.

Rookies Will Learn to Use Wide Range of Weapons

One of a series taking a draftee into Uncle Sam’s new army.

By MILTON BRONNER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.—John Q. Citizen, drafted into the army and assigned to the infantry, soon learns this branch of the service is far different from what it was when his father served in it in the World

War.

Army officials have drawn various

lessons from the World War and the conflict now raging in Europe. As a result, the fire power of a modern American infantry regiment, when completely armed, will be far more formidable than was dreamed of in 1917-18. In addition to certain technical companies, each infantry regiment will consist of nine companies of riflemen, three handling heavier weapons, and one handling antitank guns. Draftees will soon learn that rifle companies handle far more than the name implies. In each company three platoons: will train with rifles, bayonets and hand grenades. The other platoon will train with light machine guns, light mortars and automatic rifles. . But even riflemen will have to learn something about the other weapons so that in wartime they could replace men killed or injured and so carry on with the heavier weapons. The three companies in each regiment, training with heavier weapons, will learn to handle 81 mm. mortars, .30 caliber machine guns and .50 caliber anti-tank machine guns. There will also be one company handling 37 mm. anti-tank guns, The. draftees, during their 13

weeks of preliminary training, will

know only their platoon and company. Later will come training with battalion, regiment, brigade, division and army corps. By the end of their year, draftees will be expected to be infantrymen who know {heir jobs.

VENUS MISTAKEN

SALAMAUA, New Guinea, Nov. 21 (U. P.).—When what appeared to be a huge balloon floating over the city, was sighted here, a local resident chartered an airplane and armed with a shotgun started out to bring it down. At 13,000 feet, however, the plane lost sight of the balloon behind a cloud bank. In the meantime, an amateur astronomer with a telescope had been able to

“ HE same is true of all other countries, Sweden, France, England, the Slav agricultural countries. It is through the peasantry that we shall really be able to destroy Christianity because there is in them a true religion rooted in nature and blood. It is through the peasantry that we shall one day be able to act as missionaries to the urban masses as well. But there is plenty of time for that.”

It was all fulfilled later, even to the last item Hitler had hinted at. Attempts were and are being made to make use of old folkcustoms to de-Christianize the peasantry. I have seen pavilions at the agricultural exhibitions subtly planned with this end in view. I have seen a picture-series, prepared with the greatest skill, representing the struggle: of the Steding peasants against the Church in Bremen. We agricultural leaders were regularly invited to the new type of godless meetings of the National Socialist, “religious” evenings on which the new religions were paraded. How quickly the whole process moved became clear ‘o me from the case of an acqua ntarnce of mine, the Westphalian farmer Meinberg, a splendid fellow who was unmistakably solid and loyal. He was a Staatsrat (councilor of state) and a leader of the peasantry. A new fireplace appeared in his ancient peasant homestead, its walls decorated with runes and heathen maxims. The crosses

had disappeared to make room for other sacred symbols. Woden, the ancient huntsman, was in the place of honor. And on the hearth burned the new, eternal flame. . fa 8.8 (Summer of 1933) AT summer I frequently dined with Hitler in his flat, He lived at that time on the secs ond floor of the new Reich Chan= cellery. The rooms were smallish, the furnishing simple and with out refinement. There was not a single piece that revealed anything of good personal taste or artistic value. Whenever Hitler was in Berlin, he asked people to dine with him, It was considered a high honor to eat at Hitler's table, and there were usually 10 to 20 people, at most. The food was simple. In this, too, the party Fuehrer liked to give an impression of modest living on proletarian lines. He frequently expressed his intention of changing none of his previous habits, either in his clothing or in his style of living. As a mat= ter of fact, this did form an agreeable contrast to the extravagant behavior oi some of the ‘new bosses. Hitler retained his old habit of sitting beside the chauffeur in his car; his clothes consisted of his familiar| raincoat seldom surmounted by a hat, while under it he usually wore a civilian jacket with the party uniform trousers, or an. ordinary lounge suit. At dinner, there was soup, fol lowed by a meat course, vegetables and a sweet, Hitler himself ate no meat, but he devoured astonishing portions of the sweet, and his pers sonal cook, an old party member, prepared special vegetable dishes for him, But Hitler placed no vegetarian compulsion jon his guests, nor did he refuse them alcohol in the shape of beer. There was a choice between beer and lemonade, and it was amusing to watch newcomers, especially enthusiastic party members, choosing lemonade, with a side glance at the temperate Fuehrer in order to make a good impression.

” » ” HERE was always a mixed and varied company at the table, Invariably some outstanding pere. son was present, a film star, an artist or a leading member of the party. Then there was that constant visitor, Puzzi Hafstangel, whose linguistic abilities and knowledge of the world were in great dee mand; but his curiously ‘shaped head was more striking than what, he had inside it, Goebbels, too, was there quite frequently. The tone was informal. Often

Hitler was silent, or made only desultory remarks, Again, he would pontificate in a booming voice, and every one would listen in silence. It was interesting to watch Hitler talking himself into a fury, and to note how necessary to his eloquence were shouting and a fever ish tempo. A quiet conversation with him was impossible. | Either he was silent or he took complete charge of the. discussion. After dinner, coffee and liqueurs were served in Hitler's small study. Occasionally the coffee would be served on a large terrace rather like a roof-garden, which over= looked the treetops in the gardens of the old Reich Chancellery. Attempts at assassination were ale ready feared, particularly within the Chancellery gardens, and Hit= ler had been warned against walke ing in them. He took little exere cise. The terrace was his substi« tute for a garden.
