Hoosier Vagabond

EDINBURGH, Scotland (by wireless).—Edinburgh is a graceful’ city. It is the ‘Washington or the Ottawa of Scotland. It is a city of government. It is a planned city. And it is the sturdiest city I have ever seen. In its buildings, I mean. Everything is of ys massive stone, so massive and so heavy that the entire municipality seems embedded in the rock underfoot. It seems to me that Edinburgh would stand up physically under an aerial blitz better than any other city in Britain. They haven't had one yet, and let’s hope they don’t. If they ever do, it will be the rankest of outrages, for Edinburgh is not an industrial city. Many things are different up i here. There is more food than in London, and a greater variety of it. Some people

'say Edinburgh is the gayest city in Britain now.

There are beautiful restaurants, where Scottish officers. dancing in kilts make a picture. You never see a civilian with a tin hat or a gas mask. Pedestrians at night use flashlights—which would have them jugged within 10 minutes in London. Edinburgh children were evacuated, but 80 per cent of them have come back. The movies run at night as well as in the daytime. You have no trouble ‘getting an excellent steak. Nobody sleeps at night in

< public shelters, although shelters are available.

Ready for an Emergency

I have friends here who travel to Lgndon weekly and who know what has happened dowri there. These friends get disgusted with their home folk when they return. “Up here we are all complaining about our stomachaches and’rheumatism,” they say. “It sounds. mighty trivial when you have just come from London, where they really have got something to complain about—and don’t. “I think a little blitzing would do us good.” True, Scotland has not been on the receiving end of many bombs. True also, there is a certain fundamental dislike of England, but that gces by the boards in an emergency. Their heart is in the war all right.

By Ernie Pyle

I have got the impression that if I were an invading German, or even a fire bomb, I wouldn't relish the job of trying to land on Scottish soil. As far as I cari see, Edinburgh’s past immunity to danger has not made it lax. The city seems to be ready and waiting. If is organized in every way. Its officials have visited blitzed cities to study what happened and prepare accordingly. For exemple, much of Edinburgh lives in small apartment houses that they call tenements. Because of this municipal singularity the Air Raid Precaution service is ¢lifferent from. that in other cities. Edinburgh is organized tenement by tenement—a warden for each tenement, and he is on duty right there all the tinie.

That Scottish Humor : I like the Scottish people. Somehow I had them all wrong. For one thing I thought I wouldn't be able to understand anything they said, but they are easy to understand. Also, I thought they were dour. On the contrary they are fundamentally witty. It is hard for a Scotsman to go five minutes without giving a funny twist, and it is usually a lefthanded twist. All in all, I have found the Scots much more like Americans than the Englishmen are. I feel perfectly at home With them. And incidentally, just a couple of tips in case you ever come over here: (1) Don’t refer to Scotland as if it were a part of England, as I did, for it isn’t. England it England, and Scotland is Scotland. (2) Don’t say Scotch unless you are referring to the whisky. People are Scots, and they are Scottish but not Scotch. Incideritally, Scotch whisky is getting short. Many bars limit their customers to two drinks. The whisky is being sent to America for good American dollars to spend on arms. , Since the Scots are so witty I will have to tell a little story.

It seems that one Scotsman was telling another

about beifig in a movie theater when some German raiders came over. The manager stopped the film, went onto the stage and announced, “The sirens \ went.” It was now time for the other Scotsman to laug but he didn’t. He studied it over for a long time, then finally laughed and said, “I suppose the joke of it was that the sirens had na’:went?”

Inside Indianapolis (4nd “Our Town’)

THE WIND WAS RAW and cutting down on street level yesterday so you can imagine what it was like up on top of the Citizens’ Gas Utility’s- new Langsdale gas holder up on Northwestern Ave. now easily the highest spot in Indianapolis, Norman Hayes (928 : Spruce), the boiler worker who took Times Photographer Bill Myers to the top, confided that sometimes he couldn’t shave for four or five days after a nice mild breeze had raked his chin raw up on top. Mr. Hayes went up top clad in an undershirt, two flannel shirts, a sweatshirt and a leather windbreaker. (Bill is still thawing out). . The wind was so bad yesterday nobody could work - on top. The Mcnument is 284 feet high. The gas holder is going to be 396 feet when the rotating electric light (aircraft warning) goes on top. Right now, the only way to get on top is to walk and Mr. Hayes confessed that the first time he made the trip he was days recovering.

You Can Have It

MOST THRILLING JOB, if you can call it that, on top of the holder is the boom operator, who rides around in a little chair on the edge of the holder. As the boom goes down and picks up its load, the chair tips forward so the operator can see what's going on. Three or four experienced steel workers have already given up the job, because a little of it goes a long way.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—One of the hottest battles over here in the weeks to come is likely to be waged over Herbert Hoover's campaign to send food through the British blockade into countries occupied by Germany. The British are against the proposition ‘ in any form. Yet Washington has the whip hand and undoubtedly could forcé London to terms if it wished. But the Administration does not wish to do so. Mr. ¥oo0ver is trying to Sorce the Adn..nistration by public pressure, The Administration knowing the power behind the Hoover £ drive, already is trying to take the f wind out of the proposal by a counter-proposition to give England food as well as munitions. The propaganda phrase is, “make America the larder as well as the arsenal of democracy.” The question was up in a heavy White House conference between the President, some of the Cabinet and Harry Hopkins. Mr. Hoover began campaigning months ago with an ambitious plan for feeding most of the occupied countries. It foundered against the argument that the food would be snaiched by Hitler. One of the last acts of the late Lord Lothian, British Ambassador, was to issue a public statement refusing, on behalf of the British Government, to consider the plan.

2 2 o

Gen. Pershing Backs Plan

Mr. Hoover subsided and reformed his lines behind a much more modest plan, a token experiment for soup kitchens in Belgium, to test out German good faith, He has organized a “Committee on Food for the Small Democracies.” He says it is organized in 1500 cities, and has the indorsement of 1000 public bodies. Gen. Pershing indorses it. The British in London say they will oppose this as they opposed the more ambitious original plan. Mr. Hoover is advancing this restricted proposal for soup kitchens in Belgium as a token plan to force a showdown on the issue of breaking the British blockade for the purpose of feeding conquered peoples.

WASHINGTON, Tuesday.—At the White House the other night, we were shown the movie, “Major Bar-

bara.” It is a very human story and one I think many

of us will enjoy. I saw the play many years ago, and ft has been well produced and is very effective as a

movie. Mrs. Helm, Miss Thompson and I went to a luncheon yes- . terday given by Mrs. John Herrick as a second celebration for Mrs. Henry Morgenthau Jr.’s birthday.’ If the number of parties given for some one is any indication of the affection that people have for that person, Mrs. Morgenthau should realize how many ‘people have warm spots in their hearts for her. The prizes won by Mrs. Herrick’s dogs were on exhibition, and : : I was duly impressed. After lunch, ; when I saw the dogs running around outside, I could readily understand that they would be winners. They are really beatiful dogs, but “Falla,” the President’s little scottie, still holds my Heart. Though I have only a toy dog to keep him company at present, some day I shall have a live one when I really live in the country again. We had a most interesting and delightful evening last night. Before our party began, I dropped in for a few minutes at a dinner given by one of Mrs. Von

classes. Her youngest pupil recited a remariiably well

. out of the Axis clutches.

From the top you can see the Monument and the Merchants Bank Building with ease and the Coliseum off at the State Fair Grounds, etc. You can even see smoke pouring out of big chimneys and then settling down ‘like a pall over houses in a neighborhood. “See| those cars down there,” said Hayes, pointing to the ant-like vehicles ‘down on ..the Boulevard, “they think we're darned fools. Well, I'd rather be up here than cross Washington St. How about you?” “No, sir!” answered the honest Mr. Myers. “I'll take Washington St.”

By Raymond Clapper

He has two powerful forces working in his favor. First is the humanitarian appeal to save helpless victims of the war from starvation. Second is the desire of American farmers to move their surpluses. A group of Administration friends, learning of the latest move by Mr. Hoover, met it on the night Mr. Hoover announced his plan by.telegraphing a public appeal to President Roosevelt to feed as well as arm nationg fighting the Axis. They asked him to “take

. such steps as may be necessary to make us not only

the arsenal but the larder of democracy.” ” 2 2

Farm Belt Grumblings

Sonie Farm-Belt friends of the Administration in Congress have been trying to have the powers of the Lend-Lease Bill extended to include farm products. Vice Président Wallace announced that we have ample farm surpluses for this purpose. Senator Lee of Oklahoma has offered an. amendment to include surplus farm products under the Lend-Lease Bill. Secretary of Agriculture Wickard, emerging from a White House conference with Harry Hopkins, said food had been discussed and suggested it was very necessary to British defense. The answer to Mr. Hoover will be that we must feed England before we feed Germanoccupied territory. England is supposed to have food stores adequate for several months, perhaps for as long as a year. However, these are emergency stores and would not be touched except as a last resort. Evér since the war began, England has been diverting farm purchases away from the United States. One reason was the need to conserve exchange here for munitions which could not be bought elsewhere. Another was a desire to give all possible preference to thé Empire. A third was to strengthen political ties with other countries. For instance, American tobacco purchases were cut to permit heavy purchases from Turkey as part of the price of keeping Turkey This has produced considerable grumbling from the Farm Belt. By shoving farm products into the lend-lease picture, as the Administration is doing, this farm-belt irritation would be eased and much of the force of Mr. Hoover’s food plan would be deflected.

done. IT was back at the White House before our guests arrived.: After dinner, Allan Lomax, who has been collecting and making records of American folk songs for the Library of Congress, put on, under Mr. MacLeish’s direction, a: program partly sung by professionals and ‘partly by boys from nearby Army, Navy and Marine Corps camps. I think everyone enjoyed the evening. The tonors went about equally to the professionals and tie non-professionals. :

I Lope these songs spread through all the branches of the services. * I would like to see musical instruments available and .records of these songs in the recreation centers of every group and in every community cetiter near a camp throughout the country. I think it:would serve to. make us conscious of our own 1i¢h background of folk literature and music. ‘Our youngest grandchild is becoming. quite. accus‘tomeci to the White House.

JUDICIARY BILL BEATEN, 57-37

‘No Logical Such a Plan, Rep. Dausman Says.

The House has blocked for two years the Indiana Judicial Council's efforts to secure non-partisan elections of judges. By a vote of 57 to 37, opponents of the plan yesterday defeated the bill designed “to take the judges out of politics.” - Rep. George Henley (R. Bloomington), author of the measure, described it as “not a cure-all but a

courts are not more politically=minded than they are,” he said. “This is a protection to the judge

himself, Alliances Forced

“In order.to be elected, the candidate often has to make alliances during his campaign. This would tend to relieve him of pressure after election.” Rep. Henley said that more than half the states now have non-parti-san election of judges and that in every case the plan has proved successful. The attack on the measure was led by Rep. Guy Dausman (R. Goshen), Rep. Bert Mayhill - (R. Delphi) and Rep. Homer Beasley (R. Washington),

Batman Backs Henley

Rep. Dausman said there was “no logical reason for the plan” and Rep. Mayhill charged that other interests “as bad as politics” would control the judges. Rep. Howard Batman (D. Terre Haute) supported Mr. Henley’s arguments with “I see no harm in permitting a judge to run for office on his own merits rather than on party platforms.”

Asks Divorce, Names Hitler

NEW YORK, Feb. 18 (U. P.).— Mrs. . Stella Peters charged in a suit .for separation against Her-

bert Peters today that her husband thought so much of Adolf Hitler that he wanted her to have children against the doctor’s advice “because it was the Fuehrer’s wish.” Mrs. Peters sdid her husband, a waiter at the New York Athletic Club, harangued her *on the virtues of Hitler and his new order” so much that it brought her to the brink of nervous collapse. After an operation for appendicitis, she said, her physician advised against children. - “He told me,” Mrs. Peters added, “that Hitler would crush England, France and the Americas.”

CHARGES NAZIS EXEGUTE POLES

Publication Says Gestapo Treatment Worse Than That of Russians.

By WILLIAM H. STONEMAN Copysignt; 1941. by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

LONDON, Feb. 19.—If information reaching the Polish Government in London is correct, the Nazi Gestapo is outshining its older brother and model, the - Russian Gay-Pay-0o0, in making a shambles of Poland. According to information printed in the Polish Fortnightly Review, the Gay-Pay-Oo has shot comparatively few people in Soviet Poland and has contented itself. with exiling approximately 400,000. Polish exiles, who are reported to represent all classes of society from peasants to aristocrats, are now living in 130 different districts of 21 provinces of the Soviet Union, according to this information. Most of them are apparently living in socalled “free exile,” while the remainder are confined in labor camps of the variety made famous by the Soviet Union during the first fiveyear plan. The atrocities charged to the Gestapo by the same Polish publication make the Gay-Pay-Oo look like the Y. M. C. A. in comparison. More than 1,500000 have been driven from their homes in German-oc-cupied Poland and 150,000 expelled from Posen alone. According to this account. Now, according to this same information, the Germans have begun a mass expulsion of peasant districts from the purely Polish district southwest. of Cracow. In Posen alone, the publication states -that 15,000 have been butchered and it estimates that the total executed throughout the Germanoccupied area exceeds 70,000.

Follows Other Messages

The contention of unconstitutionality was about the same as the Governor outlined in three. other veto messages which rejected the keystone G. O. P. “decentralization” measure and two others that take control of the State Tax Board and the State Highway Commission away from his office. All three of the previous “ripper” measures were passed over the vetoes and have become laws. The roll call to pass the Financial Institutions bill over the veto was expected in both houses’ today. The Governor, in his veto message yesterday, called attention to what he described as a “glaring discrepancy.” “In Section 3, it is provided that a director's salary shall be fixed by the appointing board—the Governor, State Treasurer and Lieu-

is provided that the salary of the director shall be fixed by the Commission of six who are to be appointed by the above appointing board,” the veto message stated.

The bill is the same one recalled from the Governor's office last week by the Senate to change the tenure of office for the department director from one year to a full, fouryear term. The Governor's’ message stated that he assumed the "bill had been recalled last week to correct the salary fixing discrepancy, “but I find the defect still exists.” The Governor said that if the Legislature intended only to make the financial institutions board bipartisan “the bill would receive my hearty approval.” The veto message pointed out that the state banking departments had some police powers and stated that this function “must be ex-

This leaves three more on the Governor’s desk to be either vetoed, signed or permitted to become laws without his signature. One creates bi-partisan boards for all 20 state institutions, to be appointed - by the Governor and Lieutenant Governor. The others provide for creation of a new State Board of Finance, and a new State Board of Works, both to be controlled by a Republicandominated board.

AUSTRALIA NOW

GREAT ARSENAL

Aroused by Dunkirk, Its Munitions Output Is Up 4000 Per Cent.

Copyright, 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

SYDNEY, Australia By Clipper) —In the last war Australia never had more than 2700 men employed in the manufacture of munitions. They produced a modest ‘amount of small arms ammunition, rifles and uniforms. Great Britain supplied the rest of the equipment for the 400,000 soldiers Australia sent to the war.

Great Britain cannot supply all that its own forces need in this war, let alone supply such distant parts of the Empire as the Antipodes and Asia. But the defense of the Empire is not going to be jeopardized for lack of weapons. Australia, which until a few decaces ‘ago was almost exclusively a pastoral ‘and agricultural socievy, has transformed itself into a great war arsenal. It has increased its munitions output by more than 4000 per tent. With a cash outlay of $165,000,000 (no inconsiderable sum for a nation of 7,000,000 people) and many corporate.gifts and loans in addition, it has built in 17 months an arms industry which in magnitude and output exceeds that of India and is second in the Empire only to that of Canada. By the middle of the year, 150,« 000 workmen will be engaged in the production of hundreds of items ranging from airplanes to anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, bren guns, the shells for such equipment and heavy * tanks. Thundering factories which would command .respect in the United States, Great Britain or Germany are roaring day and night.

MEN OF MERIDIAN TO HEAR SCHRICKER

Governor Schricker is to speak at the annual dinner of the Men of Meridian, the men’s organization of the Meridian Methodist Church, at 6:30 p. m, Friday. 1 The Governor and Louis Borinstein are to receive honorary Boy Scout tenderfoot degrees at the meeting from Troop 46, sponsored by the Men of Meridian. Foster Clippinger Jr. is the Scoutmaster. The program will include several other addresses, including one by the Rev.

Bennett and Purdue then filed affidavits charging operation of a lottery and gift enterprise against Jess and Ethel Woods, as the proprietors, afid Chatham Pratt, the bartender. Police, in turn, charged Purdue and Bennett with gaming. When the case was called in Municipal Court 3 today, Jack Tilson, retained by Bennett and Purdue-as their attorney, announced he would not permit his clients to testify. His clients stood silent. That left Deputy Prosecutor W. G. Onan without any prosecuting witnesses, so he dismissed all five affidavits. After court, Purdue and Bennett went to the same police officers they had talked to on Feb. 7 and com=plained first, that they had not been consulted about their attorney's action, and, second, that they still wished to prosecute. They were told to visit the prose= cutor’s. office this afternoon and file new affidavits.
