Hoosier Vagabond

ALBUQUERQUE, April 26.—The big new Army Post at the Albuquerque Airport was built by private contractors, supervised by a staff of 80 men from the U. S. Engineer Corps. It was all done by union labor. The contractors reserved the right to hire non-union men at any moment the unions couldn't furnish enough help, but the unions came through. At one time there were 2200 men on the job. Cowboys came in off the ranjye for a few weeks of good pay. Skilled and semiskilled men were rounded up from all over the state. The airport boom didn't rob local private contractors of their labor supply. For so many people drifted into the city looking for work that there remained more men than jobs. The contractors had their usual trouble with men of no experience posing as trained carpenters. They would go to the 5 and 10cent stores and buy a set of cheap tools, then show up in the role of skilled men, hoping to get in several days work at the higher scale of pay before being found out. The biggest labor shortage bottleneck here was In plumbers. The contractors had a tough time digging up enough plumbers to keep up with the construction gangs.

The new post is so big you car to cover it. One officer from March Field brought along a motorized scooter. Right now, the whole place is a mass of raw, denuded earth urrounding the buildings.

A sand storm came up just after the painters had finished, and that's what happens. They'll have to be painted over again.” | But theyll fix the dust. Just as soon as the | last nail is driven and the last gasoline tank buried | underground, all this raw earth will be oiled down. | Lieut. Col. Frank Hackett is in command of the | new Army airport. He is an old-timer in aviation, but he still flies his own plane. This isn’t the first time he has been in on the creation of a new Army post. He went through it several times in the World War. The new post has 10 separate messes, or dining rooms, as we civilians call them. The Kitchens have all the latest wrinkles, including the now famed potato-peeler, I've been reading constantly about these mechanical potato-peelers but I've yet to read how they work. So I'll tell you. You put the spuds in a steel bowl about the size of a half-bushel basket. The bottom of this bowl is a revolving disc, with a rough blade surface that resembles exaggerated sandpaper.

Fueling Stop for Bombers

Well, when the potatoes are in, you turn an electric switch which starts this disc spinning around a mile a minute, and the potatoes jumping around in there and pressing down of their own weight simply have their skins ground away. The potatoes aren't really peeled, theyre just sandpapered raw, you might say. Water runs through the machine all the time, and carries off the peeled residue, which looks like mash. It ought to make good potato whisky. Albuquerque is a fueling stop for the great bombers on their way from California to Canada and England. One came through just as we finished looking over the new airport, so we went over to See 1t. In addition to the British crew, this plane was | carrying some civilian English who had been over | here on an aircraft production mission. The young | fellow I talked with had left England in January. | I rather proudly told him I had been in England since then. But he didn’t seem to attach any importance to it, so I said to hell with him and went and talked with the Negro porter at the passenger terminal. The porter was impressed.

1is habits by the news broadcasting hours. His favorite relaxation is reading and there are few subjects under the sun on which he cannot discourse intelligently and forcefully.

The Babe Ruth of His Day

HE EATS CANDY with great gusto and he likes to take a bag of peanuts or sugar-coated popcorn to the neighborhood theater with him. He likes all kinds of ice cream concoctions and he makes quite a point of instructing the soda jerkers: “Plenty of ice cream, but NO whipped cream.” He is partial to grays in his clothes, smokes more cigars than are good for him and sometimes gets so interested in conversation that he forgets all about his food. Until a few years ago, he played golf with more or less regularity, but baseball has always been his favorite sport and to hear him tell it, he was a marvelous player in his youth. He used to like to get out and play scrub with his friends. He used to play a lot of handball, too, and his friends recall the time they formed a bowling club some 25 years ago and how astonished everyone was when the rabbi cooly stepped up and bowled a neat 230—just about 100 more than anybody else,

DR. FEUERLICHT is just rounding out 40 years in the ministry, The son of a rabbi, he spent his early years in Boston. He was graduated from the Hebrew Union College in Cincinnati and did postgraduate work at the University of Chicago. He spent his first three years in the pulpit at Lafayette and has been at the Indianapolis Hebrew Congregation here ever since. He has one son, Morris Jr. who is in the Government service, a daughter, Mrs. Marcus Cohen, and two grandchildren on whom, like every other grandfather, he dotes. He has had calls from other congregations at higher salaries, but has always turned them down

Belgra

BUDAPEST, Hungary, April 26 (U. P.).—-1t was a drowsy Sunday morning in Belgrade, ancient Jugoslav capital on the Danube when, with almost no warning, two waves of German bombers swooped down. Then:

“Whole blocks of houses were burning . . . water pipes, phone cables and street car tracks twined upward like a monstrous nest of snakes. . . . Water gushed from gaping craters, striking eerie blue sparks against electric wires. Wounded persons staggered round asking if anyone knew where there was a first-aid station. . . . Street cars and automobiles lay on their sides, blown over by concussion or direct hits. . . . Milk wagons and newspaper carts were smashed against buildings. . . . Horses and mules lay dead, screaming their last breaths or struggling to break their harness ... The first detailed account of the destruction of Belgrade, covering three days, April 6, 7, and 8, and written in diary form, has reached the newspaper Pester Lloyd here by courier from its Belgrade correspondent, Laszlo Bolgar. Bolgar said reliable estimates were that 5000 to 6000 persons were killed in the city. He told of days and nights of terror; of looting, profifeering, summary executions, peasants fleeing to the city, city dwellers fleeing to the country: a breakdown in authority and general devastation.

= = ”

People Not Warned

H sxe IS Bolgar’s diary: “Sunday, April 6. At 5:45 a. m the telephone rang. I lifted the receiver expecting bad news. An early rising colleague, who had heard the German radio broadcast, told me of Hitler's manifesto. I called the official Hungarian agency, Avala, where they knew nothing about the outbreak of war but told me of the Russian - Jugoslav non - aggression pact. The news spread quickly among newspapermen but the public knew nothing of what was going on. The Belgrade radio kept broadcasting up to the moment of the electrical failure and it never did warn the people of imminent danger. . . . There had been an air raid alarm at 4 a. m but everyone had supposed it was a drill. “It may have been several minutes after 7 o'clock when the sirens sounded again. At first I heard only the firing of guns in the hills encircling Belgrade. Then the first of the German bombers appeared, accompanied by fighters. There must have been 40 or 50 of them in close formation fiying toward the railway station which was a quarter of a mile from my home. . . . “I glanced out the window. All

around, incendiary bombs blazed, about 30 feet apart. The streets were full of glass, rubble and smoke. People rushed to the street asking what was happening. They were astonished when I told them the war had broken out. . “As I was en route to the Hungarian Legation the sirens vowled a second time. Then the (explosive) bombs came. My wife and I ran to a cellar, which was a poor shelter. The women there wept and almost everyone prayed. “The second attack was shorter than the first, but when I went to the street again, a terrible sight met me.

Palace Is Fired

w LOCKS of houses were burning. The whole War College building, covering a square block, the Premier's palace and War Ministry were aflame. No firemen were in sight. I learned later the water and electrical conduits had been broken by the first bombs “I was half-way down to the legation when the sirens started again. This time I took shelter in the basement of a large building. .. y “Continuing my way after that raid, I was almost hit by a team of runaway horses. As I approached the legation the sirens wailed a fourth time. I ran for a shelter, and when that raid ended, -I hurried home to save what I could there. Twice on the way home planes forced me to take cover. They were flying very high and in smaller groups. I did not see a single dog-fight to indicate the Germans were meeting opposition in the air.

The inside story of that is that he drove to Union Station once to meet a distinguished visiting rabbi.

the Hungarian trade delegation in Belgrade opened his suburban home to Hungarian nationals.

At 4 p. m. there was another very heavy bombing. It seemed then, that the whole population of the city was scattering to nearby villages, woods and fields. They were demoralized and did not try to take anything with them, but were intent on saving themselves,

Whole Blocks Afire

o HE NIGHT was warm and cloudy. From the flat roof of our new home (he apparently went to the trade director's suburban home) we watched the fires in the city. Heavy, black smoke poured from the Danube banks—probably from burning oil storage tanks. In the heart of the city, along the Sava River, whole blocks were burning. Separate fires no longer could be distinguished — there was only a common looking flare telling for 60 miles around of Belgrade's catastrophe “Our shelter was filled to the last possible refugee. At 11:45 p. m. a Hungarian woman bore a child without the aid of a doctor. The women in the shelter attended her. She and the baby are still doing well. “Monday, April 7, (the diary continues) was ushered in with another bombing in the small hours. There were a few heavy explosions, then silence. “People crowded close to one another without uttering a word. Their nerves played them strange tricks. Some got used to the sirens and took cover only at the last moment. Others got jittery even at the sound of motorcycles.

“After a breakfast of dry bread crust I started cut to observe the damage. Bombs had fallen in all areas but in the older part of the city most damage was caused by concussions, while modern buildings suffered only from direct hits. . . . ” ” ”

Mobs Roam City “PNIRE WAS causing most of the damage. The city burned for three days and two nights.

‘ Almost everyone in the streets carried his or her prized possessions. They asked strangers for advice, since there was no one in authority to ask. The government had fled the first morning. One official asked me if I knew where his superiors were. ‘ . This the mobs les a free hand to plunder. Even the military could not find its unit commanders. «cu “On Tuesday. April 8, there was little change. A cold rain drove about 10,000 refugees from the woods and fields back to the city, where they complained of their deprivation and of the profiteering of the peasants. It still remains a mystery how many of them got bread. . . . “Food and clothing stores became the first objective of the mobs. It was dangerous even for the rightful owners to search the ruins of their homes because the few police and soldiers remaining in the city began a campaign against plunderers and the rule was to shoot first and ask questions afterward. Often proprietors of places were shot while digging in the ruins of them. . .. “On the street I met an army doctor whom I knew and he told me that up to Monday noon 1200

bodies had been counted in the city and that at least twice that many were buried in the ruins. Neutral observers estimated that total victims were from 5000 to 6000. , . n ” n

U. S. Officials Act UESDAY afternoon there was a diplomatic council at United States Minister Arthur

Bliss Lane's quarters in the Dee dinji sector. it was decided to send the American Vice Consul (Outerbridge Horsey, of the Budapest legation, who had arrived in Belgrade with diplomatic dise patches just before the attack) by motor to Budapest with a re quest for the Hungarian governs= ment to urge the Germans not to bomb Belgrade again, or, faile ing in that, to designate a safe place for the diplomats. “Simultaneously, United States Military Attache Stortier (Maj, Louis J. Fortier?) set out by aue« tomobile in search of the Jugoe slav government to ask them to declare Belgrade an open city, (The Jugoslav government had stated its intention, several days before the German attack, of de« claring Belgrade an open city in case of invasion but apparently it fled without doing so.) “Nothing came from either effort. The all clear signal never was given throughout the three days. No all clear signal had been arranged, so one alarm merged into the next. “From the rooftops, the great holocaust of Belgrade could be seen flaring out again Tuesday night, unhindered by rain. We slept in regular bedrooms that night, disturbed by only one alarm, which brought no bombs.”
