LONDON (By Wireless). —We got on a bus, a friend and myself, to see more of .London's Mevastated East End, where the poor people live. London buses are double-deckers, and you can smoke onthe top deck, so we sat up there. You don’t just pay & flat fare, in London. The condugtor comes .around: and sells you g& ticket to. wherever you want to go. But we weren’t sure just where dor wanted to go, not knowing London well. “I think we’d like to /go around Isle of Dogs,” I said. 8p the conductor told us where [0 change buses. : This second bus took us only a short way, and we had |tb get off and walk two blocks, for the street had been blown up. A big group of men in workmen’s clcthes stood walting for the next bus. - ~ “Is this where we get a bus to.the Isle of: Qogs?”
we asked. One little stoop-shouldered fellow with yellow .teeth and a frazzled coat said, “Just where do you want to go?” We said we didn’t know. He laughed. and said, “Well, this bus will take us there.” So we all got on, and after a while ¢ big man who was with the little fellow moved back and said he and the little fellow were going to wa'k through a tunnel under the Thames and would we: like to go with them. We said “Sure.” + It was a foot funnel, not big enough tor ¢ tars. These two men work on barges carrying freiglit up and down the Thames. They. leave home on@ morning and don’t return until the next afternoon. - The big fellow had been to New York six.times, | before the World War, working on ships. | /
The “Pynted Awl”
At the ather end we came out at what is known as Greenwich. The two men walked us p¢st Greenwich Cellege, which is very old. We stopped before some iron gates and peered through. “Now that there,” said the little fellow, ‘that's the -fymous pynted awl.” “The what?” I said. : i “The pynted awl,” he said. “You knot, doncha, the fymous pynted awl—the pynted ceilin’, ;7ou know.” And then I realized he was saying "pailtied han.” 80 we looked appreciatively. “All American tourists knows it,” he (aid. “The artist he lyed on his back in a ’ammock for 20 years pyntin’‘ that ceilin’, and when he got tarough' he found a. mistyke in it and he went cracked worryin’

The be fellow got on a double-decked trolley with us, and this cockney, a
‘complete stranger, insisted orn paying our fare—and
him &s poor as a churcn mouse! He said people had been nice to him in Now York 25 years ago. After a while we sald goodby to him and| got on ‘othér bus.

peep. through. It wds raining now and very cold, and it ‘was ‘getting carkish, We walked araid wreckage and rubble and great buildings that stooped, wounded and empty. It was ghostlike and fearsome in the wet dusk. Poor. pitiful Bast End! True, Londoners say the slums should have been knocked down long ago, but this is' a grievous way to go about itl. ; ~ We got lost, and a policernan showed us the way again. At last we took another bus-back toward the city. At Aldgate East station I got off to change to ‘the underground, while my friend continuec on the bus.
End of a Journey :
It was pitch black now. I decided to get a’ bite
to eat. I made out, faintly, the form of a policeman, and asked him where I could find a place to eat. He said thére was a pub around the corner. I felt my ‘way around but couldn’t find the door of the ‘pub. In .a minute a figure stood beside me, It was the policeman. He pushed the door in the Aarkness ‘but it didn’t give. “It’s closed,” he said. “Bui you can get something across the street, there where you see that light behind
‘the curtain.”
So I felt my way across and into a tiny place. It wasn't very clean. There were bare tables, | sawdust on the floor, and three candles burning on a counter. he kind of sandwiclies have you | | got?” I e
“Hot or cold?” sald the mar behind the counter. “Hot, or cold?” said the man behjfid the ¢ “Hot,” I said. Whereupon he dished up a grea big fried fish fish, and filled the plate with crisp fried potatoes. I recognized the ‘dish as the fampus “fish ‘and chips.” I was sor of afraid to eat 1 in such a place, but one bite wes all I needed. I never tasted better fish or potatoes in my life. My.

A BIG BLACK: "12-cylinder motor from one of those deadly ,Stuka dive bombers is being tested now at Allison’s. It’s one of the strangest motor, s the Allison engineers have ever seen. It’s from a Nazi plane shot down in| a Londen raid. The plane wasn’t badly damaged in landing and] the only mark on the motor wus a bullet ° scar on the crankcase. ‘he crankcase, incidentally, is what makes ‘this Nazi motor a i piece of mechanism. The whole motor is inverted,
the crankcase and oil |pan being /
on top. If there is an advantage to this arrangement, Allison’s will - find-it out—=but right row they're . skeptical, : The motor itself is pt a black, rough-finished metal, not the . smooth variety as in the Allison liquid- -covled motor. ' 'TH® Nazi motor, which also is liquid-cooled, weighs about 400 pounds more than the Allison product. It is a V-type motor and one of the probléms is how the cylinders are oiled. Although it may develop more horsepower, the word is now that the ratio: of horsepower to weight won’t be nearly as good as in
‘~+= the Indianapolis motor.
The motor was shipped here from thadon and put in the Allison museum. Guards immediately were posted around the museum gnd -worke; irs at™ first weren't allowed inside. This aroused c Fiosity and when the guards were taken away, the! employees streamed in to inspect the strange power nit. The motor was completely torn down, ieassembled . and scheduled for a run on the test block last weekend. But it may be a long time before " know how that test came out. +

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.—Well, here we are, going into thawthird term. On this occasion, the first in our history, one is bound to reflect upon the past and to wonder about the future. A year ago I did not think this day | ever would come, and I hoped that it would not. As anyone knows who has read this column over a long period, I have been sympathetic toward most of President Roosevelt’s policies. I felt that he had displayed a little too| much appetite for power and wits too eager to hold on for a third term. Yet it does not seem to me that he has seriously abused the additional power which he has garnered. On the whole he has used) it for ends | which have seemed to rhe desirable. I Even so, I felt that, everything considered, a change to Wendell Willkie would have “ been healthier. His courageous support now of the |. Administration’s position only strengthen; that feel- | - ing. Before he indorsed the pending war-aid bill, Mr, Willkie was urged by some who had been| most influential in his campaign to oppose the mefisure as an excessive and unjustified grant of power. (In rejecting such argument, Mr. Willkie said, I am told, that if he had been elected President he would have been compelled out of his sense of responsibility to| ask for the same powers and could not therefore ir good conscience oppose giving them to Mr, Roos¢ velt,

Every believer in democracy naturally mist be suspicious of political power” bécause it is the weapon that tyrants grab and must hold. Democracy’s rise is a history of taking power away from somebody, and lodging it in a larger group. The barons took it from King John. The French people took if from the bourbéns. The American colonies took it from the British Parliament. Our constitutional ‘convention withheld ‘it from: the chief cxkecutive in our series of checks and balances—and seriously considered. a limit OR the number of years he could serve. | Bub if power 'is made sefer by. placing it in the hands of’ the people, it is also made less wieldly, and must be used at a slow-motion pace.

Keeping Democracy Flexible |
Democracy has difficulty in finding ths means of retaining ultimate power anc yet keeping if sufficiently flexible and quickly available. We are having trouble in gearing its speed to the lightning speec, of modern events. It is well geared to the speed of the sailing ship but painfully slow in the day of .the airplane. we are now trying to find some means o increasing pace. If Congressmen and Senators would speak their pieces quickly and vote quickly, there would be -less demand for lodging so. much discretionary power in the executive. So long as: Congress is prodigal with time, there will be demand 0 save time by short cuts such as the President's war-aid bill, |
It is inevitable that thers should be much hesitation about giving President Roosevelt large additional powers. But Mr. Willkie has said that this should not prevent giving him the power needed now. I have had my questions about Mr. Roosevelt's love of power.

At the Indiana Society, Rep. Halleck expressed his appreciation of the diffiqulties Governor Schricker faces at the State House surrounded by Republicans. For his first four years in Congress Rep. Halleck was the only G. O. P. Congressman from Indiana. Mr. Ewing is a long-time friend of Wendell L.
