Hoosier Vagabond

LONDON (By Wireless) —The famous fore-and-aft hat of the London bobby is gone for the (uration. Today all policemen wear steel helmets. These are painted dark blue, with “Police” in white letters on “the front. London is fairly crawling with: policemen. You meet half a dozen [in every block. I understand there are now 40,000 bobbies—just double what there used to be. They are mostly young and soldierly looking men, and I have found that instead of being austere they are very friendly, In fact, they will talk your licad off if you stop to inquire your way. London is plastered with posters and signs of warring, -instruction and advice. Many of them are illustrated. [for in- \. stance, one of them pictures a man and a woman gawking skyward, and the inscription says: “Don’t stand and stare at| the sky when you hear a plane.” Then it explains that planes drop their bombs long before they are over the objective, and warps that if you stop to look up when you hear motors you may get one smack in |ihe face. A few blocks from my hotel is a huge store called His Majesty’s Stationery Office. There you| can buy for a few cents any one of thousands of detailed booklets on wartime food, arms, shipping, air raids, bombs, ete., which the Government has issued. There is always a crowd in front of the

Cartoonists Have Fun

Many automobiles have little printed signs on the windshields saying, “Free lifts at your own risk.” These are driven by suburbanites who get gxtra rations of gasoline for bringing other people to work. There are 20.000 of these now, but the|arrangement is likely to be discontinued in the spring, for public transportation is practically back to normal now. : : : Newspaper cartoonists are having a lot of] fun with these small details of wartime life. For example, just after the fall of Bardia in Libya, a Daily Express cartoon showed Mussolini standing alone in tlie desert thumbing for a ride, and Hitler flying over in a German plane with a sign on it saying, “Free lifts at your own risk.” ; ‘ «Nearly all the stores and offices close at 4 o'clock

50 people can get home before the ‘blackout. At 4:30 the sidewalks and streets resemble Broadway. At 5:30 they look like Main St. on a dull Monday night. Sirce gasoline is rationed, I was astonished by the heavy daytime traffic in the streets, There is constantly « golid wall of those big red ¢oubledeck

buses, and there are so many private cars that I don’t see haw the streets could hold &ény more. A friend of mine says he thinks the autos here must rur. on air. People only get ajcouple of quarts of gas a; a time, | [1 I've just had my first air-mail letter from the United States. It was 18 days on| the way, which I'm told is faster than usual. Many air-mail letters take a raonth. |

Loading Up on Haircuts

In September I remember reading it took five days for a letter to be delivered right here in London, but now I get mail in the morning that was posted the evening before. The local postal sevice seems to be completely normal. i | Londin’s weather is not so bad as I had always heard, at least not yet. Incidentally, the censors won't 13t you cable anything about the current weather-—what it is like this morning, for instance. That might give the Germans an ide. Newsboys in the streets of London never open their mouths. 1 wish our newsboys wduld develop that habit. | Over here thev just write the biggest news of the day on small blackboards with chalk, or print it on white paper, and prop these bulletins on the building walls beside them. i Most of the “newsboys,” incidentally, are old men. Taxi meters here start at the, equivalent of 15 cents. A trip costs about the same as, or inaybe less than, ir. New York. In the daytim: there are plenty of taxis everywhere. And the taxis are a sight ta behold. |All of them look as though they had been designed in Queen Victoria's time| and qught to be pulled by a team of horses. But they run fine, and I swear they ean turn around in their own lé¢ngth. One of the few things I havi found that are cheaper’ here than at home is a haircut. I paid only 30 cents the other day in the hote¢l barbershop, and since tiien I've seen haircuts adverfised at 15 cents. I'm going to get a haircut every day frcm now on —enou;zh to last me for a year or two.

Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town’)

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Russell Willson, attorney, former School Board member, former City councilman. His honesty and integrity have made him one of the town’s most respected and|gngaging personalities. At 55, he stands about 5 feet |9 inches tall, a trim 152-pounder,. When he steps on the bathrogimn scales (he does it every morning), and finds he’s a pound or {wo overweight he starts raising ned. He cuts out potatoes and other starches until he’s back to that 152-pound mark. Occasionally he’s calléd Russ, but his friends Know | him as

“Buddy,” the nickname | he’s had ever since he was a kid. | His hair, once dark, is now silvery gray. His eyes always have a twinkle : in them and he laughs easily and heartily. If Russell Willson has a pet peeve it’s the radio. He dislikes it intensely except for & few pet programs, such as Jack Benny and Charley McCarthy and the New York Philharmonic. He pajticularly dislikes hearing war news over the radio.| He says it causes hysteria and an uproar over nof hing and there are arguments galore in the Willsonn household over whether the radio should be on |or off.

A Proud Grandpa, Too

MR. WILLSON was born in Versaille County), where his father was a lawyer

(Ripley « banker.

He went to I. U., where he used to bang awgy on the’

piano for dances. He played the piano ang Howard Kahn, now a St. Paul newspaperman, played the § drums. That was the band. : After school, Mr. Willson spent a year Or so as a newspaper reporter and then started to prectice law with his brother, Romney, and William [[.. Taylor. Since then, Russell Willson has accumulated unto himself two sons, Larry (who is in law practice with him), and Gene (in New York), and a The little Willson is Gene’s boy Steve and when Gene brought the baby here in October, Grandpa wheeled the baby around the block in the perambulator, showing it off to everybody he could stop.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Probably nobody in America realized it but on Jan. 20 we passed out from under one dictatorship—or what many predicted would be one. On that day the Reorganization Act expired. The President’s power to [reorganize the executive machinery of the Government lapsed. That power was granted reluctantly by Congress in the spring of [1939 after a most bitter fight in which it was charged that | President Roosevelt was seeking |dictatorial powers, that it would mean the end of Congressional power, and a lot of other things. That fight raged fortwo years. It became so bitter that at one time President Roosevelt felt impelled to issue a statement denying he had any ambition to be a dictator. Thousands of telegrams were sent to Senators gnd Representatives, thousands wrote to their editors and to newspaper columnists warning that this bill meant dictatorship.

Still No Dictatorship |

Well, the bill finally passed and it was in effect nearly two years. Nobody except Government officials and employees affected can even remeber what changes Mr. Rooseveltemade under these ‘powers that were so gravely feared. The measure Hai neither wrought the miracles that its proponents predicted nor shaken the foundations of democracy as its opponents warned. Mostly the whole fight was a lot of wild talk on both sides. In the [last two years you and I and the rest of the people in this country haven't known the difference. The powers lapsed- and we didn’t know it until an enierprising newspaper reporter dug up the fact ouf of the archives.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday—Yesterdas al was glad to have an opportunity to talk Harber from Oklahoma. Some time ago, on a lecture trip, I had the pleasure of spending the night with Mr. and Mrs, Harber, and I am alweys anxious to renew old acquaintanceships. He told me a number pf interesting things, among them he mentioned the generous fis of scrap

Lindbergh Is Consistent

If there is ground for complaint against Mr. Roose /elt in a matter of this kind, it sgems to me that if lies, so far as the reorggnization ‘powers were conceimed, on the side that he did not make enough

Restrict the power to a (lefinite time provision, as/ was done| in the Reorgan zation Act, and you have the main safeguard. The issue in the Lend-Lease Bill isn’t the issue of di‘tatorship at all, so far as I can see. It is whetl'er aid to England should be stepped up as fast as possible. Col.

The manufacturer was equally frank. In trying to get his business back on its feet, he had called in a high-priced production expert. The expert found produc=

At City Hall—

COMPROMISE ON

Everyone Isn’t Happy, but Mayor Shows He's Still Boss.

By RICHARD LEWIS

In the background of that personnel rearrangement at City Hall yesterday is a compromise in the County Democratic inner-organiza-tion fight for patronage. Twelve changes were made. Four vacancies which had existed at City Hall for some time were filled and eight veteran employees were shuffled into new jobs. The patronage fight, revolving about party factional splits, had been concentrated about the City Hall. Republican victories had limited Court House openings, while the State House is still in doubt.

Some Not Approved

In making the changes, Mayor Sullivan was understood to have compromised with the factions to preserve party peace. It was reported that while some of the shifts were approved by the organization, some were not. : Over and above the factional bickering, Mayor Sullivan had a few ideas about the appointments himself. He wanted efficiency. He had that in mind while he considered the patronage claims of both factions. Mayor Still Boss

Hence, the Mayor and the Works Board announced officially that the shifts will result’ in greater efficiency in municipal operation. But the result of the struggle politically appears to be that while not everybody is happy, no one group has been left entirely out in the cold. It is generally agreed that one other point has been demonstrated in the shuffle. The Mayor is the boss at City Hall and he does the choosing.

Discuss Underpass

The Works Board yesterday answered the question: What about the Morris St. underpass? The Board will open preliminary negotiations toward construction of the underpass at the Belt Railroad tracks early next week. How much the improvement will cost and details of its construction have been left to City Engineer M. G. Johnson, who will find this project waiting for him when he returns from Florida this week. The Board yesterday told a delegation of South Siders that the City would negotiate with Belt Railroad officials on sharing the cost of the improvement. Under the State Grade Separation Law, the railroad would ‘bear 20 per cent of the cost,

compromise, in the best sense of the word. Hillman first gained prominence when he was a $10-a-week cutter (“I was only a fair cutter”) in Hart, Schaffner & Marx. When the famous strike occurred in that plant in Chicago in 1910, it was Hillman’s keen analytic ability and willingness to compromise that made him instrumental in its settlement. He had a hand in the arbitration agreement written into the settlement. It has been the model for industrial arbitration ever since. As the workers’ spokesman under this arbitration, Hillman gained the reputation which landed him the presidency of Amalgamated. It was formed four years later when two-thirds of the membership of the United Garment Workers walked out of the A. F of L. No wonder Hillman has said that he was “post-graduated from Hart, Schaffner & Marx.” ” ” ” O say Hillman is a compromiser does not mean he will be pushed around. He led Amalgamated to victory in. the fivemonth lockout by New York garment manufacturers in 1921. He has used the strike ruthlessly. In a symposium in an Episcopal church in New York, during a strike, Hillman best, expressed his strike philosophy. Standing under a towering gold cross, the handsome young Jew said: “A strike is the weapon of the jungle. But if everything else has been exhausted, and we are compelled

29 MENTALLY LL REJECTED

Ailments of Draftees Not Apparent Until Drastic Change, Doctor Says.

Mental and personality defects caused rejections of 29 Indiana

youths out of 1277 inducted into the Army between Jan. 14 and 22 under the Selective Service System, Dr. Glen W. Lee, Selective Service medical adviser, announced today. Among the specific cases for rejection were dementia praecox, psychoneurosis, paresis, epilepsy, neurological disease, cerebral tumor, inverted personality, neurasthenia, cerebral syndrome, chronic chorea and constitutional psychopathic state. Dr. Lee explained that certain individuals suffer from mental ailments which are not apparent and will not become so provided they are able to lead a type of life well adjusted their individual needs, but when particular circumstances which have sheltered and protected such individuals undergo some drastic change, these mental ailments do become apparent and incapacitat-

“These men probably would break down in training and they also would prove a disturbing influence in the Army unit and be detrimental to its discipline, its efficiency and its general morale,” Dr. Lee said. Mental ailments, to date, are the second most frequent cause for rejection. Insufficient teeth is first on the list. :

Poet, 65 Today. Is Resigned To End Days in Prison of Fear

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 25 (U. P.). —William Ellery Leonard, University of Wisconsin professor who is also a poet, observed his 65th birth-

day anniversary today, resigned to spending his last years in his selfimposed “phobic prison.” Chained to a six-block campus district by terror of distance induced by a roaring locomotive when he was little more than 2 years old, the white-haired, poet-professor wrote in his autobiography, “The Locomotive God”: “But what would I do, if again, after 15 years, I found myself free to take ship or train tomorrow?” He was 50 then; he answered the question with swift strokes of his

pen. “I know,” he wrote. “A long time I yearned for Iceland . . . and I would still touch there in my voyage. But I would hurry south . . . to sunny Spain. , . . I would travel through the university centers . ... Salamanca, Madrid, Barcelona, Seville . . . intoning the verses of ‘The Cid’ before learned and laity. sand

ing ‘That's what I.would do. ..

Today, seated in his spaciously windowed third-floor campus apartment—heart of his prison—the tall, trim professor, whose flowing Windsor ties have been familiar to university students for 35 years, was without hope of ever extending his boundaries. “That's all up now,” he said sadly. “I have plenty ta, do.” ; “Do you still have hopes of being able to travel?” “None at all,” he replied. Although Prof. Leonard first was stricken with the phobia while only a child, it did not become pronounced until the death of his first wife, Charlotte Freeman Leonard, which he described in “Two Lives,” a book of sonnets. Sharing his prison walls now is Charlotte Charlton Leonard, his fourth wife. She was his second wife, too, and spent 20 years with him before divorcing him in 1934. His third wife was Grace Golden

to strike, then it is our duty to secure betterment in the condition of workers which employers, through civilized methods of con-

ference, decline to grant.” Through strike and conference Amalgamated grew eadily. By 1938 it hac unionized 95 per cent of the men’s clothing industry, raised average hourly wages from 27 cents in 1914 to 77 cents, while shortening the work week from 51 to 36 hours. : It has been Hillman’s willingness to compromise little things to gain big things that has made him the butt of attack from the Left. The Communist Party has accused him of “being guilty of sewing the seeds of class peace.” Hillman’s pragmatic philosophy, his demand for labor unity, made it inevitable that he should break with his C. I. O. boss, John L. Lewis. Cautious, undramatic, analytical, hating futility, Hillman had little in common with Lewis— dramatic, risking all on one throw, unwilling to compromise. Hillman is a compromiser in everything but personal habits. His day and night work has been the bane of his wife’s existence. But Mrs. Hillman, the former Bessie Abromowitz, whom Sidney met “on the Hart, Schaffner & Marx picket line, herself has been in the front line of labor’s struggles, knows what her husband is up against. Today she is educational director for the laundry workers, an Amalgamated affiliate.

” ” » ERHAPS few corporation ex-

ecutives have traveled as widely as Sidney Hillman. His asso-

ciates call him their “peripatetio president.” For that reason his family life has been somewhat more sketchy than that™®f his colleague, William Knudsen. Even at his comfortable, four-room apartment, high in a modern building in lower Manhattan, there's a one= room office. Today Hillman’s family life is mostly week-ends, for Mrs. Hill« man remains in New York. His elder daughter Philoine, an Ober= lin (0. College graduate, works as an unpaid secretary in her dad’s Washington office. Younger daughter Selma, is studying for the stage, has been told she has talent. ? When he is home, Hillman likes to relax. He didn’t have much time for reading until a few years ago, so he’s an avid reader now. Once a heavy smoker, he cut out cigarets entirely after a serious illness in 1937. He and his wife like simple foods. Mostly Sidney Hillman has worked too hard to have much family life. In fact he often has

overworked and landed in the

hospital. He was in the hospital last spring when the phone rang and the voice at the other end said: “Sidney, I've got. a job for you.” Hillman’s temperature * jumped two degrees. The voice was that of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The job: Labor commissioner on the National Defense Advisory Board, forerunner of the Office of Production Management.
