The

‘Hoosier Vagabond - By Ernie Pyle

EDINBURGH, Scotland (by wireless).—Traveling through the countryside of Great Britain these days could hardly be put under the heading of undiluted: pleasure. ] The bad points of traveling include: Crowded - trains and delayed schedules, if. you're going by rail; snowy roads, unmarked highways and a shortage of gasoline, if you're driving: packed hotels, few taxis, ‘and, worst of all, hotels that are unheated. Sh ; On the other. hand, there are good points: Warm trains, good food, pleasant companions, -beautiful snow-covered. scenery, ‘and the fact that people will always help if you ask them. i --Bad. as the drawbacks sound, : you do get where you're going, and with surprising. speed and comfort. There is actually more rail traffic now than in peacetime, but of course this increase is in freight trains. Passenger service has been cut down, but not as much as I had thought. Sur i : For example, there are 30 passenger trains daily between London and Scotland. The trains are ter- * rifically long and they are always packed. There are no restrictions on travel. } go When I register at a hotel I have to put down my nationality, my passport number, where I've just come from and where I'm going. The English do too, except instead of a passport number they put down their national registration number. The better trains carry restaurant cars at dinner time. The diners are nicer than ours at home, with deep easy chairs. : :

Difficulties of Travel

For a stranger like me, it is hard to know when you get to where you're going, You almost never see a conductor or a porter. Only occasionally do they call out a station, and the names have been taken off most of the stations in order not to give pointers to.the Germans if the invasion conies. At night, of course, the frain windows are blacked out. ; 3 I've worked out a scheme of just eavesdropping till I spot somebody who is going where I'm going, and then When he starts putting on his coat to get off I start putting on mine. Some people know the railroad’ by heart. The bther night, on the way from London to York, our

train slowed down and we all thought we were coming::into York, fan “Wait a minute,” said a man in our compartment. “I'll tell you in a minute.” He sat listening. = Suddenly we could tell we were

crossing a bridge. . - | : “No, this is not York, the man said. “This is Selby.” J : From the time we left London, four hours earlier, he had never looked up from lis book, but just from the sound of the wheels ie knew exactly where we were. That's what living in the blackout does to your senses: a In some railroad stations there are.porters to help with your bags, and in some there are not. It is tough on a fellow like me gesting to his destination at night—and through nerversity or something I seem to arrive everywhere at night.

A Night in Edinburgh. It was nearly midnight when we got into Edinburgh. It was snowing and cold. The station was a madhouse of soldiers. || . A lone taxi would arrive shout every five minutes,

and somebody else would get it. Finally, after about a half hour, I did get one, Friends had told me about a certain hotel which they said was the warmest in Edinburgh. I'm sure glad they didn’t send me to the coldest one, for my room had no heat whatever. It was like a refrigerator car. So the maid came and built a fire in the grate, plugged in a little electric heater and put a hotwater bottle in ‘my ‘bed. The grate fire, incidentally, costs 50 cents a day extra, the electric heater 30 cents. (1 I asked the maid to awaken me at 8 in the morning and build another firé when she arrived. So when she knocked, before daylight, I reached over to unlock the door, as it was close to my bed. ‘But the door wasn’t as close as I thought, and I kept reaching outward in the dark and ‘finally reached too far, lost my balance and fell right out of bed onto the’ floor and sprained a thumb. ” : As I lay there in the dark on the cold fleor, tangled up in bed covers, freezing to death,” my thumb hurting, there all alone in & pitch-black icebox in Scotland’ with not a | friend within. 400 miles, I thought: Of all the fools I've ever heard of, you take the prize. For you'could be in Panama or Hawaii now if you had any: serise. typ But I haven't any sense. In spite of everything I'm glad I'm here. .

Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town’)

' TODAY WE TACK UP another “most” title on the Indianapolis trophy board. This time it's “one of the

most honest-book borrowing cities in the country.” This comes from Gertrude E. Ryan of the Central Library staff. Miss Ryan handles those books which : are lost, unreported or overdue. : Last year the whole library system loaned nearly three million books and less than 1 per cent of them were not returned or col» lected by the Library's messenger (or detective). The Library feels this is one of the best records to be found. Fact is, there are only 172 books unreported from the 1938-39 fiscal year’s business. Also remarkable, we think, is that Miss Ryan still has a great deal of respect for the human race in general after 10 years of dealing with delinquents. “Sometimes I start to lose faith in people,” Miss Ryan confessed. “Then when I think how many books go out of here and how many different kinds{of people take them, I'm ashamed of myself for thinking such a thing.” X Don’t blab this around to everybody, but Miss Ryan told us in a whisper that she’s been a delinquent book-borrower herself several times. Tut, tut, Miss Ryan, ough a :

Washington

' WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—The House has turned up again with what the Administration considers to be short-sighted economizing in the wrong place, the same impulse that caused it to reduce defense items

‘Just before the German invasion of the Low Coun- : tries last spring set the nation off on the biggest peacetime defense program in its history. This time the House has cheese-pared $1,200,000—which is small change ‘in. Congress these days—out of an appropriation bill and thereby knocked out a new air service to Europe which had the ‘indorsement of the Government. Government people think that all possible experience in ocean flying should be accumulated now. Trans-Atlantic flying facilities are taxed and only those who have inside pull can fly ‘o Europe without long waits. Passenger accommodations often are canceled to make room for mail. Ocean flying is now a monopoly subsidized by the Government to the extent of more than $1,000,000 a month. The Government policy is to encourage competition in order to improve service, expand facilities, obtain more experience in ocean flying, train flying personnel, and acquire the strongest possible foothold in ocean-air transportation against the intense competition expected when other nations come back into the business after the war.

"U 8S. Officials Approve

- All of these purposes were in mind in the indorsement of the proposal of the American Export Airlines to start a run to Lisbon in competition with the PanAmerican monopoly. The Civil Aeronautics Board issued two certificates to the new company, approved by President Roosevelt, which testified to its mechanical and financial competency. The Post- " office Department approved. The State Department gave its approval through the testimony of Thonias My Day WASHINGTON, Monday —Last evening we had a little party to celebrate Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr.'s birthday, which really does not occur until some time ~ this week. Our only guests besides the Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau, were Harry Hopkins, who arrived ; from New York just in time for dinner, and Mlle, Eve Curie, who is " ‘spending 24 hours with us between lectures. On this visit, Mlle. Curie ‘has been in the Middle West, and shortly she will start. on a long lecture trip which will take her all the way to the West Coast. She has lived in England ever since she left France and I think there must be moments when our whole mentality in this country must seem like an unreal dream to her. There is no use denying that seeing the bombs drop, even if they do not hit you, puts a different perspective on life. The thing which impresses me in talking with Mlle. Curie, is the minuteness of organizetion which is required under conditions such as many of the English people are now living under. Gi ] The contrasts even over in Britain are very great and make it easier to see why we can feel as remote as we do. The block by block organization for every eventuality j bombs ‘ are dropping

Here Comes the Air Mail

SOMETIME THIS WIEK announcement is to be made of plans to establish an airmail express pickup service from Detroit to Nashville through Indianapolis. The company will have planes that swoop down on small towns :and snatch off mail bags hung out on tall posts. The incorporators are a group of local lawyers. It'll be the second service of its kind in the country. The other is in Pennsylvania to accommodate small towns in the mountains.

Around the Toun

SHIRLEY GRAHAM, dramatic director of the Phyllis Wheatley Branch of the Y. W. C. A, is back in Indianapolis after helping in the direction of her play, “Dust to Earth,” at, the Yale University Theatre. Another of her plays, “HElijah’s Ravens,” is in production now at Ohio State University. Miss Graham, you may remember, is thé young lady who supervised: the WPA version of “The Swing Mikado,” which was good enough that Bill Robinson turned out one for himself and brought it to Indianapolis after a long Broadway run. . . . Henry Q. Goett, judge of Superior Court 4, which would be abolished under an economy bill in the Legislature, was down in Court 2 the other day. Someone asked what he was doing in that court. “I'm just in here for safety’s sake,” said the judge. ... Joseph L. Fisher, economist with the National Resources Planning Beard’s regional office here, recently took on horse-thief detecting as a sideline. By -inheritance he became a member of the Dedham (Mass.) Society for the Apprehension of Horse Thieves. This is one of the oldest’ hoss-thief chasing outfits in the country and the name, Fisher, long has been inscribed in its rolls. : Look out, son, that may be a hot hoss!

By Raymond Clapper

Burke, Chief of the Division of International Communicationg, who seid: “It seems reasonable to anticipate intense intgrnational rivalry for the establishment of rapid air litikks between Europe and the Western Hemisphere. It is the considered judgment of the department that the best interests of: this Government would ‘be [served through the establishment of a second Unitetl States air-transport service between this country and Europe.” . The Governien: is particularly concerned about continuation of the Pan-American monopoly, which has obtained exclusive landing privileges from some foreign governments that freeze out American competitors.

Competing Lines Blocked

The State Départment is negotiating with Portugal to break down the exclusive contract there so that a competing line can go in. The State Department felt compelled to insist upon a change in a contract with the Cuban Goverpment which would have, in this Government's judgment, made it necessary for Washington to obtain permission of Pan-American in order to land its own ‘planes. Efforts of competitors to establish service in Central America have been blocked in ways that have aroused criticism within this Government. ; In accordance’ with: policy, the budget included an item of $1,200,000 for: subsidy to American Export Airlines to start ‘the European service, compared

‘with about $15,000,000 for Pan-American. The House

subcommittee -striick the item out. Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind), chairman, said in his report: “Dis-

tasteful as monopoly may be under ordinary con-

ditions, the fact remains that our foreign air operation is a monopoly—instituted, grown up, and encouraged by the (iovernment. Under existing conditions, the commii’tee feels a second carrier in the trans-Atlantic trade would not strengthen the position of our foreign air operations and would greatly increase the burden on the Treasury.” Whether the Covernment is to prevail in its policy of encouraging competition in the field of ocean flying now rests ith the Senate.

BRITISH ACTION IS GREEKS’ CUE

Whether They Quit War Depends on Next Military Move by England.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18—The new Bulgar-Turkish nonaggression declaration is more significant in relation to German peace efforts in

Greece than in its possible effect on the Turkish-British alliance, according to diplomats here. * . Britain probably cannot prevent peace without taking the military offensive there and giving her allies much more help than in the past. Turkish and German interests in Near Eastern peace coincide for the moment, for different reasons but if the German-British war spreads to the eastern Mediterranean, Turkish and British interests will coincide. Britian wants to precipitate such a conflict because it will relieve Nazi pressure on the English homeland, the decisive front. Turkey wants to keep the war from her own door. Hitler wants to stop the Greek-Italian war so he can concentrated on the British Isles. Hitler may or may not succeed in

negotiating Greece out of the war

depending on British military initiative. If he does, Turkey's attitude presumably would be influenced by the nature of ‘such a peace. So far,

German acquisition of Greece as a puppet state would be acceptable to Ankara as a “peaceful” settlement.

Speculate on Russian Role The test to the Turks, apparently, is whether Germany attempts to control the Straits and the eastern Mediterranean. In this connection there is much speculation in Washington, as in European capitals, on the role of Russia. It is agreed that, while Britain’s influence with Turkey is Great, Russia's is greater. But there is not as much disposition here as in Europe to assume that Soviet’ Russia will double-cross her old friend Turkey for her new “friend” Germany. There is no sign that Russia fears Turkey, but there is plenty of proof that Stalin has prevented Hitler's eastward expansion wherever possible. Even if Stalin were disposed to sell out Turkey to Hitler, Nazi control of the Straits would do much more to imprison Russia than Turkey herself. As for the reported Hitler bribe of giving Russia the Straits,” Russia is less vulnerable with a Turkish ally in control under joint British and Russian blessing than with the British Mediterranean fleet threatening it. Russia has pienty of enemies without making ‘Turkey another.

British Moves Expected

If Stalin is any more willing than Turkey or Britain to trust Hitler at the Straits, why did Stalin grab the Baltic states and eastern Poland and Bessarabian Rumania before Hitler could take them? German penetration of Bulgaria threatens that Russian policy, as does the German hold on Rumania, -but Russia apparently could not prevent this. . In any event, Turkey is not as weak as Rumania and Bulgaria, and cannot be encircled so easily by Hitler—unless Hitler takes Greece and tries to wrest the Aegean and eastern Mediterranean from Britain. That doubtless would draw Turkey into the war. Britain still has moves to make. er first strategy in that area was put Italy on the defense and strengthen her hold on the Mediterranean and Suez, which she has

lure Hitler away from the English Channel and into a southern war. So far, Hitler has strengthened his flank by penetrating Bulgaria and using that to peace-pressure Greece rather than to attack. If Greece shows signs of dealing with Hitler, Britain may be driven to attack Hitler first—on the excuse that Bulgaria and Rumania are pelligerent. bases. Thereby Britain

'Last of Dandies’ Down to $10,000

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (U. P).— The fortune of Evander Berry Wall, the “last of the dandies,” just barely lasted long enough to satisfy his very expensive tastes, an appraisal of his estate in Surrogate’s Court revealed today. He died at the age of 80 last May in Monte Carlo after a lifetime as a social leader, horse and dog fancier, and devotee of expensive tastes in clothes and general living. : As a young man he had inherited a fortune of several millions from his parents. His estate is worth less than $10,000 which’ would have maintained his style of living in his hey day about one month. When he inherited his fortune, he thought he would become a businessman and immediately lost $1,500,000. He then decided to devote himself to pleasure and for 40 years was’ the favorite of New York's 400.

MASSACRE OF JEWS PICTURED

SOFTA, Feb. 18.—Official. German photographs: of Rumanian antisemitic atrocities were circulated privately in the Rumanian. capital today in German circles before being sent to Germany for study regarding their future use. ; The photographs show part of the massacre by Iron Guards in the abattoir of Bucharest, where a still indefinable number of Jewish civiljans, probably more than 100, were herded and shot down by the terrorist wing of the Guardists at the outbreak of the revolution. He With grisly humor, the Guardists strung up the bodies on meat hooks and treated them precisely as a cattle butcher does animals. ‘3 The photographs prove that thi rabble. of the terrorist Guardists, now: in disfavor or prison for having violated legionary . discipline, - exceeded in anti-semitic zeal anything authentically attributed to the disorderly days of early Naziism.

AUSTRALIA WAR

STRAIN IS SLIGHT

Fighting on 9 Fronts, but Biggest Job Is to Be "Arsenal for Isles.

~~ By CARROLL BINDER : Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The ‘Chicago Daily News, Inc, SYDNEY, Australia (By Clipper), Feb. 18. —Australia is at war on nine fronts, but there is surprisingly little evidence of war strain or. tension apparent to the casual visitors in Australian cities or country towns. There are. no blackouts, no airraid shelters. The numerous beaches are thickly populated, for.it is midSULoR down here under the equa- ) -One must book a seat well in advance to see popular films. And there is great enthusiasm at the horse races, which are held as frequently ‘as in peacetime and draw crowds of World Series: proportions. There is an astonishing amount of betting. Restaurants Crowded Restaurants are crowded by well-

dressed and freely-spending diners and dancers. The sidewalks of cities

such as Sydney and Melbourne are

so. thronged that walking is diffi. cult at times. ’ It would be easy to infer that Australia’s heart is not really in the war, that it is fighting ineffectively. Nothing, however, would be farther from the truth.’ Australia regards the war as a struggle vitally affecting its destiny and worthy of its fullest effort. . It already has played a major part in the war and is rapidly fitting itself to play a much greater role. Soon a quarter million men will be under arms.

Help Defend Isles

Australians have played a conspicuous - part in the victorious campaigns against Italy. Australian airmen are helping to defend the British Isles and attack Germany. Australians are serving also at Singapore, in the Dutch East Indies, Burma, Rhodesia, Palestine and: Canada as well as on the home sector. Hundreds of thousands are training for service, or waiting for an opportunity to be trained when facilities are available. .But. this is a war in which there must be 20 men working in industry behind the lines to maintain one man at the front. Few understand that and, therefore, many misinterpret Australia’s war effort. At the moment, the Empire is more in need: of Australia’s plants, tanks, guns, ships and munitions than it is in need of Australia’s sons. So Australia has turned itself into a huge arsenal. Many of the young men sauntering about in civilian clothes ar: skilled artisans fighting for Britain at the lathe or the forge for 44 or §0 hours a week.

By AUSTIN T. ROGERS Times Special Writer NEW YORK, Feb. 18.—Wounded so severely that she could get around only with the aid of a cane, Mrs. Louvenia Baron, one-time Indianapolis resident, arrived here last night with a harrowing story of Nazi persecution in German-occu-pied. France. ° "She and hér 10-year-old daughter Joan, who have been on the missing list since last fall, arrived aboard the American Export liner, Excambion from Lisbon, Portugal. She is the wife of Rabbi Samuel Baron who now is a rabbi in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. x Since last June, Mrs. Baron said, she has been in hospitals in France recovering from wounds received when a bridge at Orleans was blown up while she was crossing it.

Left Here in 1938

Rabbi Baron and his family left Indianapolis in August, 1938, when he was assigned for a year as rabbi of the Reformed Congregation at Glasgow, Scotland. The climate did not agree with Mrs. Baron and she and Joan went to Fentainbleu, France, intending to rejoin her husband later for their . return to the United States. Then the war came and she was caught in its meshes, and her husband had to return alone to this country. . . On June 14, last year, the French police ordered the immediate evacuation of Fontainbleu on five minutes’ notice, she said. Having time to take none of their belongings, Mrs. Baron and Joan set out on bicycles south for Orleans, aiming for a seaport to embark for America.

Marching Refugees Bombed

“The roads were jammed with refugees,” she said. “Most of them were walking, with old men, women and children alike dragging behind them the few. possessions they have collected. : “We were bombed frequently, not

Italian planes and many times during a day Joan and I would drag our bicycles into roadside ditches until the danger had passed. Our main thought, was to avoid the erowds - which formed every few hundred yards, as refugees huddled together, theoretically for the psyhcalogical feeling of protection, but actually for destruction, because the crowds made ideal targets for bombs. “A few miles from Orleans, at sunset, a Nazi bomber swooped down ‘The refugees scampered for a nearby farmhouse. Knowing instinctively I was’ going wrong, but impelled by a sort of mob hysteria, 1 took Joan and we followed.

52 Killed in House

“Just as we stepped into the house a homb struck which killed 20 people. A few momenis later the bomber returned and 1nachinegunned the house, killing 32 more persans—a total of 52 persons. “We left there and spent the night ina nearby- field, unsheltered. As we prepared to resume our journey next morning, ‘another Nazi plane flew: low pverhead, dropping bombs along the road and machine-gunning the refrigees. : : ~ “We were not physically injured in either of these attacks, but we suffered’ great mental shock. That day we went through Orleans, a ghost city in utter ruins except for the ancient famous cathedral of Joan of Arc, which miraculously was not harmed.

Blown Into Air

“We were in the middle of a bridge, heading south just after leaving Orleans, when the bridge was blown up. I was blown high in the air and was seriously injured internally, although I did not fully realize the extent of my injuries then “Joan and I retrieved our bi~ cycles and continued on our way, pushing the machines because the road was too thickly strewn with bodies of the dead and wounded for us to ride. ! “Then we deserted the road because of the machine gun and bomb dangers and continued through a woods which paralleled the road. But I soon lost. consciousness and lay in a dead: faint, with little Joan trying ‘to revive. me. ‘I-don’t know how much-later I was revived by a a mere child, who brought me a mattress and Joan and I spent five days and nights on it while the young soldier alternately guarded us and went in search of medical aid. “Eventually, unable to get an ambulance or a doctor, the soldier managed to get me to a farm house

been assigned to aid us by a Gere man officer. : “While I was lying helpless in the farm house an arrogant German officer arrived, demanded to know what was going on, and then sent the soldier out to get a doctor. “And then, while I was seriously wounded and helpless’ with terror, the officer attempted to attack me. Unsuccessful, he then attempted to attack little Joan and was interrupted by the return of the soldier. “We had nothing but kind treat ment from the rank and file of the Nazi occupation troops, but the of= ficers as a class were bestial. “Eventually, we got to the Amer= ican Hospital in Paris where I remained a patient until Jan. 25, when we finally managed to, through the Red Cress, to get started back, via Spain to Lisbon and the United States.” Mrs. Baron said that until President Roosevelt’s- re-election, Americans in German-occupied France were treated well, but that after the election they were treated no bétter than captured Englishmen. Mrs. Baron and Joan will spend a few days here, then will visit friends and relatives in Indianapolis and Cincinnati before going on to Florida.
