LONDON (By Wireless)—A little knot of half a dozen or maybe a dozen men will emerge at the d of this war as the great leaders who pulled England through. Lord Beaverbrook, I have no doubt at all, will be one of this select group. : Lord Beaverbrook is a mé4n of medium height, stocky though not heavy. His shoulders push forward, and when he sits it a

table he almost seems to ¢rpuch. °

His face is sallow, and it leaves the impression of being s@quare rather than round. His mouth is big, his lips pursed. His black hair is thin on top, but on the back of his: head it is thick and heavy. i : He doesn’t speak like an [Eng- . . lishman. He still speaks like a Canadian, which means like an

American. He knows America intimately. His last

trip over was made in Oetober, 1939, just after the war started. i : “You know my friend Dick Merrill, don’t you?” I asked. : i “I certainly do,” he said. “He came down to the boat the last time I was in New York. I senf him a cable when his new baby was born. I have flown with him a lot.” - | Lord Beaverbrook used to have his own airplanes. He still occasionally flies about England, visiting aircraft factories, but he goes in government planes now.

A Real Movie Fan

He owns three big London newspapers—The Morning Express, The Evening Standard and The day Express. You've probably heard of his mq istic black-glass Express Building in Fleet Stree Every time I read back home about Fleet Street being bombed I wondered if Beaverbrook’s glass (house ad been hit. It has not, although buildings a hundred feet away have burned: In. October a bomb did go through the roof of the Standard Building, however. i Since taking on the aircraft job Lord Beaverbrook has paid. almost no attention to_his newspapers. At The Standard they didn’t hear from him for weeks, until .one day he called up and said, “What do you mean: by attacking ‘the Presbyterians jn my Inewspaper?” Lord Beaverbrook’s father is a Presbyterian minister, and he himself knows the Bible intimately. - He is very much opposed to smoking, He used to play tennis avidly but has given it up. Almost

| ‘ his only relaxation now is the movies. He is a movie flend. He -has a projector at his country home. | He's crazy aboif Marlene Dietrich. They say Le has seen “Destry Rides Again” nine times. | "Lord Beaverbrook loves to hear people singirg together. He sings himself—-but as somebody h:s said he has more rhythm than tone. His iavorife songs are “Little Joe” and “See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have.” - Around town Lord Beaverbrook is known as “Tlie Beaver.” At the aircraft office he is spoken of as “The Minister.” . : He is a great fiend of Richard B. Bennett, former .Prime Minister of Canada, and he has Bennett at the ministry with him. During the week Lord Beaverbrook sleeps at night in a heavily walled room at one of his newspaper plants. “Week-ends he goes to a plaice outsicie ‘of town, but even so he drops in at his office cn Sundays. ft: He has two soas and a daughter. Max, the elder son, is in the R. A. F.

Noted for His Wit

It is usual for Beaverbrook to be talking to four or five people at once about different things. He is

a colossal asker of questions. Before you sit down|’

he has found ou; whether you smoke, drink, fight, swim or speak Esperanto. At least that’s what everybody says. But I guess he figurad that 'I didn’t ‘know anything anyhow, for he didn’t pump me much. He seemed to me to be in complete repose. He didn’t impart any feeling that he is the slashing dynamo 1e really is. ° | In personality Lord Beaverbrook runs the scale. He probably would have been a great actcr. He has one act of intimete confidence, one of savage bullying, one of grave piety, one of profound and devastating gloom. _ At times when he walks into a cabinet meeting, they say, you1 can hardly keep from crying, he looks so tragic. But the chief characteristic of Lord Beaverbrook is probably his wit. He has ga brilliant but lefthanded humor. People who don’t know him well are often ‘unable to tell whether he’s serious or joking. <f - ‘That wit of his can on occasion be scalding. They say he likes people who can stand up to his barrages. He's nct a man who has to be agreed with. And on the whole he doesn’t care what the public thinks or says about him. He likes to fight, that’s ll. In getting things done he is not unlike Churchill himself, And thet is the way to win a war.

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town”)

IT SO HAPPENS THAT there isn’t a single Jere soldier in Indiana that the Governor ean cell out in case of trouble. The last Indiana Guardsman left today for service with the regulars. Governor Schricker is concerned over this|situation, which he explained to retail hardware dealers in an extemporaneous talk yesterday. At present, he told them, an attempt is being made to recruit a, home militia on' a volunteer basis, but so far the recruit$ number only a handful and [what's more they have neither uniforms ' nor rifles. A bill to provide uniforms is up before the Legislature and the Federal Government has promised rifies. The Governor said, incidentally, that he has a much clearer idea of our national defense problems since he wert East for the inauguration. Everyone in the East, said Governor Schricker, talks of nothing but the war and that everywhere you go there seems to be a “depressed feeling.” : :

Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.—Many Republicans believe that all they need to do is to nag President Roosevelt, oppose whatever he suggests ST for the tide to turn. They have been doing exactly that

for eight years and have lost three elections in a row. But hope springs eternal] They are going at the Lease-Lend Bill with the same tactics. i Other Republicans, a tiny minority of the organization; leadership, see it a little differently. They have acquired some respect for the popular majorities President Roosevelt has received. They suspect these majorities are rooted in something more substantial than merely a wonderful radio voice. They have seen the cities, practically every large one, go for ; Mr. Roosevelt. They have seen the labor vote run out almost solidly, leaving the|Republican Party stamped as the party of the employer, The party has made itself the plaything of the more well-to-do class, and that class is outvoted. Not even the farm vote and the small towns, which are the centers of ultrafconservatism, can.give the Republicans enough help to make a respectable showing in the Electoral College—not even with such a strong pulling candidate as Wendell Willkie." ] ' The present formula of the Republican Party is perfectly designed to lose elections. i Rep. Kenneth Simpson of New York was one of the few Republicans who thought something ought to be done about that situation. | Simpson a Hard Fighter | This isn’t quite the time to bring up party politics and I hadn't intended to.

Contract Let For Printing 4,500,000

Times Special

Designed to aid identification of men killed or wounded in battle, 4,500,000 emergency medical tags are to be printed under a contract awarded by the Government,

it was revealed today.

To be placed “over the breast or as near it as possible,” the tags provide space for identification by name, army unit and rank and request information on types of wounds and treatment. Pushed out of the huge Government Printing Office ‘by a flood of other work brought on by the defense program, the contract for the tags, to be in 150,000 booklets of 30 each, was awarded by competitive bidding to the William C. Ballantyne Co. of Washington. They will be distributed through the Army corps areas. “Killed in action” is reduced to KIA and “wounded in action” is cut down to WIA in a detailed list of abbreviations provided® for the men who fill out the forms.

n n ” HOSE engaged in jdentification work are also told: “Full identification of the organization of which the patient is a member is highly important in connection with. his military record and is necessary for studies of battle casualties and planning for medical service in ‘combat. Make the record as complete as possible.” The surgeon general's office- said that the current $45,000 order would not be used in one year and that “even in actual wartime conditions the ° 150,000 booklets would have little relation to 4,500,000

Party, and thereby brought about the election of Mayor La Guardia, landed Tom Dewey in the prosecutor’s office and restored the defunct Republican organization in New York to life. = His playing with the American Labor Party was shocking to old-line Republicans. They never forgave him. The s2quel was the breakup of his political alliance with Mr, Dewey. ‘At the Philadelphia tonvention Mr. Simpson threw his weight behind V/endell Willkie and the Dewey people drove {iim out as Republican National Committeeman for N:w York. Mr. Simpson’s most spectacular crime, in the judgment of conservative Republicans, was his statement that the party, ia looking toward the 1940 campaign, must change its outlook. A Civilized Politician “The people,” Mr, Simpson said, “will turn to the Republican Party only if they are sure that it is not under the domination of Mr. Hoover, the Liberty League and some of the reactionary influences cf the past. If we turn that way we might as well fold up.” Ken’ Simpson saw -that the Republican Party could ill afford to allow the Democrats to monopolize domestic reforins. He was wise to Mr. Roosevelt's clever trick of crowdinj; the Republicans into a reactionary position. Usually the party allowed Mr. F.oosevelt to get away with it. They would have done it again in 1940 had not the Republican convention een stampeded to Mr. Willkie, 3 Mr. Simpson was a civilized man, knew and loved music and often went from a political czucus to a symphony concert. His home was filled with modern French art. In the last campaign he interrupted a campaign trip to attend : a special exhibit a; the Museum of Modern Art. : : Regular politicians couldn’t. understanc thai sort of thing. It made them suspicious, especially when they sat in the Simpson’ library and saw shelves of French literature. A politician is under suspicion if he is caught reading a book. If he is a patron of the arts then obviously he must be politically unsound. The art stuff threw the politicians off and they never tumbled to the fact that what Ken Simpson was tell-

"ing them was plain old-fashioned American political

At City Hall—

RAIL ELEVATION DISPUTE FLARES

Republican Charges Demo__cratic Delay in Providing Information.

Two weeks ago, City Council requested the Legal Department to find ways and means of raising funds in the Legislature for South Side track elevation. In a subsequent opinion, Corporation Counsel Edward H. Knight

found neither ways nor means of getting any money. He simply ruled that existing legislation was adequate for track elevation, leaving the matter of funds still a mystery. Sponsor of Council’s request for the opinion, Republican Councilman Ralph Moore yesterday said that Mr. Knight's findings did not constitute an answer to the question City Council had asked. Mr. Moore issued a statement demanding an answer. “I believe that this opinion is unsatisfactory and does not comply with the request,” he said. “I believe that the request contained in Council’s resolution should be complied with and that the Corporation Counsel as soon as possible make such a report as intended by the terms of the resolution. “It is unfortunate that this delay should occur when the present session of the Legislature is becoming so far advanced.” Asked for comment on Mr. Moore’s statement, Corporatoin Counsel Knight declined, saying he hadn’t read it. ~*1f I did read it, I doubt that I'd have any comment,” he added.

One Sticker Too Many

° The. latest argument for voiding a traffic sticker was presented to the Safety Board yesterday. The voiding was unavoidable, Police officials reported. It so happened that on the morning of Dec. 14, Patrolman

Walter Baase was ordered to go to E. Washington St. and place a parked car in custody in the Police Garage. With the co-operation of the Police Department wrecking truck, the parked car was taken into’ custody but not before Patrolman Baase issued traffic sticker No. 78032 to said car. Investigation disclosed that the car had previously been issued another traffic ‘sticker which was the reason the car was ordered towed away in the first place, accarding to the report.

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29 (U. P.).—The use of television as a major weapon by the U. 8S. Army was predicted here by delegates to the American Institute of Electrical Engineers. Dr. Joseph W. Barker of the Columbia University School of Engineering described the pos- ' sible military value of~television to 2000 delegates to the institute’s five-day convention. He visualized the possibility of an airplane equipped with television flying over battlefields and flashing a picture of the maneuvers. back to officers’ headquarters. “It would afford an instantaneous and accurate screening of the events on the front line,” Dr. Barker said. He said the “War and Navy Departments forbid” him to discuss furtheg details.

PITTSBURGH, Jan. 29 (U. P.). —For more than 12 years, postal authorities of two continents looked for the intended recipient of a letter. They finally gave up yesterday. s But now they can’t find the sender. And the letter, which had been kicked around North and Sauth America, since .1928, seems destined, finally, for the dead letter office. The letter was addressed to a Stjepan Crnkovic at Buenos Aires. © The return address was “Mato Crnkovic, 159 Long Way, Etna.” Out of it all; Pestmaster S. A. Bodkin found definite proof of the honesty of international postal authorities. When he opened it to find the present whereabouts of the sender, he found three one dollar bills—the large kind, which were taken out of circulation several years ago. :

OPPOSE GHANGES IN STATE WELFARE ACT

' The Indianapolis Chapter of the American Association of Social Workers today questioned a provision in the Welfare Department Act amendment pending in the Legislature which would make the Lieutenant Governor an ex-officio member of the Welfare Board. ‘The chapter, in a statement issued by Wade T. Searles, Indiana University professor and chapter chairman, said that as an ex-officio member, the Lieutenant Governor “would control the Welfare Department.” The statement explained that he could cast a deciding vote in case of a tie in the regular Board. Prof. Searles asked the House Judiciary Committee A td call an open meeting on the bill, which has passed the Senate. Questioning the advisability of changes proposed by the bill, Prof. Searles said that because of efficient operation, the Welfare Department has not lost “one cent” in Federal matching funds.

NEED MEN FOR SKILLED WORK

Shortage in Many Trades Is Reported in Indiana By Employers.

Difficulty in obtaining qualified applicants to fill a variety of jobs in defense and non-defense employ= ment in this vicinity is being encountered by the Indianapolis office of the State Employment Service, George J. Smith, manager, said today. . He said that vacancies hardest to fill are in the metal working trades and in some skilled construction trades on large industrial buildings. The demand also exceeds the registered supply of stenographers with dictating and calculating machine experience. In Indianapolis and the State, he said, the most constant demand is. for experienced tool and die designers and makers,. first class machinists, millwrights and heavy ininstallation experience, heavy form : builders, civil, electrical and mechanical engineers and draftsmen. Indianapolis employers, state and out-of-state offices have appealed to the local office for assistance in filling openings with qualified persons. Those interested 'in the jobs, regardless of where they live, are urged to contact the State Employment Service office, Mr. Smith said. Applications may be filled out at the Indianapolis office, 148 E. Market St., or at part-time service points in. nearby communities.
