Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: B. Howard Caughran, U. 8. District Attorney, elder in the First Presbyterian Church, former school teacher, World War veteran and the newly elected president of the Indianapolis Bar Association. He always uses the initial B, never

has disclosed his first name. Howard Caughran (it’s pronounced something like Cawran) is known for his ability as a story teller. He has a never-ending supply of yarns which he spins entertainingly and without provocation. Most anything “reminds me of a little story.” His sense of humor runs to mild practical jokes such as the time he invited guests for the evening, then borrowed a smallpox sign and tacked it on his door. He got a big laugh watching his guests’ dismay as they arrived and saw the sign. He's a 51-year-old six-footer, weighs 165 or 170 pounds. His face is determined, yet kindly in appearance. His eyes are blue gray, and he has trouble keeping his dark, curly hair combed. He still retains his Tennessee accent, usually speaks rather rapidly and sometimes stutters a bit. Extremely affable, he can be pushed quite a ways—but not too far. His clothing is neat and conservative, and he almost never buys a new suit untl his wife drags him down t® a store. He shies at wearing anything the least bit effeminate. For instance, he wouldn't think of carrying a woman's umbrella, even in an emergency. He'd drown first. He's slightly forgetful at times. He left his umprella at the Guaranty Cafeteria the other noon. They held it for him and the next noon he picked it up but lost it again—this time for good—before he could get back *o his office with It. It’s happened before, too. Mr. Caughran is one of the few men who can say they moved here just because they liked the town.

About to get his discharge from the Army, he looked over several cities as a place to live and practice law. He liked Indianapolis best. Still does. Born in Fayetteville, Tenn, he attended Trinity College, now Duke University; was a county school superintendent in Arkansas, studied law at Cumber-

land University in Tennessee and taught school a

few months in Colorado before enlisting in the Army in 1917. He's a former City Health Board attorney, once ran for the State Legislature. His pet peeve is split infinitives; he just can’t stand them. When someone tells him something interesting or amusing he usually remarks, “Aw, no,” with a questioning inflection. He never smokes or drinks, and doesn’t like to see women smoke. As a boy he signed a pledge not to smoke until he was 21, then never got the habit. He likes corn bread, and has to have coffee at least three times a day with about two drops of cream in it. He doesn’t care for the radio except for political speeches, attends the movies only about three or four times a year. Reading is his principal relaxation, although his work doesn’t give him much time for indulging it. He’s particularly fond of biographies and poetry. He’s rathet enthused over his new car, enjoys driving. He never misses a thing when he’s driving, tells stories with ures, and sees all the sights. And usually he’s the only person in the car that's relaxed. He doesn’t like to play cards, but will take a hand at bridge when he feels he must. He doesn’t play well, either; converses too much. He'd much rather sit down for a lively session of checkers with his son, John, a freshman at Shortridge. A daughter, Joan, is at Wel-

lesley. Mr. Caughran’s principal hobby is visiting the homes and tombs of the Presidents. He’s seen all but about a half-dozen of them, too, during his vacation trips. One of those half-dozen, much to his embarrassment, happens to be the grave of Benjamin Harrison, in Crown Hill. It’s just so near that he hasn't

gotten around to it yet.

Ernie Pyle is on leave of absence because of the illness of his wife.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.—The almost solid antilabor vote from the rural South accounted for the large margin of 118 votes by which the House passed the stiff Labor regulation bill, In general, representatives from rural sections voted for the bill while those from industrial sections voted against it. The breakdown of the vote shows members going in the direction of political self-interest, but the result cannot be argued away on that basis. Under this same geographical distribution the House has many times before voted for labor—and seldom against it. The same distribution of members voted for the Wagner Act a few years ago. Now it votes for a restrictive bill, proposed by one of the leading anti-labor members of the House. Furthermore the House shouted in additional amendments, including one by Rep. Martin Dies. This was done in the face of a strong labor lobby. It was, as some members said afterward, partly an act of defiance of labor pressure. Labor-union officials were called from all over the country to assemble here and work on Congress. When large numbers of votes are involved, as in pressure for pensions, relief appropriations or labor legislation, the most courageous legislator takes pause. It is. no easy matter to vote against a numerous and organized minority. Parliamentary government has become widely discredited because it kas been unable to resist sizable voting minorities.

Milder Action Forecast

AS A BELIEVER in democratic government I felt better when the House passed a stiff labor bill. It isn’t the bill so much as the principle of the thing. The House action gives at least the appearance of stamina. It also was healthy because substantially the same body has over recent years voted a liberal program of labor and social reform and has now moved to correct abuses of its own program. This is no fascist-minded house, as its pro-labor votes in

Fragrant East

LASHIO (By Clipper).—While waiting for a Burma Road convoy to crawl out of the flood-ravaged Irrawaddy Valley down near Mandalay (where despite Rudyard Kipling, flying fishes have never been seen)—well, while waiting, this seems an appropriate moment to reconsider the reportorial merits of that eminent 13th century Venetian traveler, the late and long-slumbering Marco Polo. Signor Polo, as you will well remember, was the traveling salesman who journeyed for three, four, or five years, all the way from Turkey and Persia through Turkistan, the fringes of Tibet and Mongolia to ancient Cathay —the north China empire of Kubla Khan. About the year 1275 Signor Polo set forth with his father and uncle. The great Khan (Kubla) took such a fancy to young Marco that he traveled for tens of thousands of miles through kingdoms never dreamed of by the Western world in service of the emperor.

Wrote His Story in Jail

AFTER YEARS and years Signor Polo got homesick, became commissioned to escort a beautiful Chinese princess to Persia as the bridal candidate of a Persian prince and finally, after three years of heroic persistence, got back to Venice along about 1295. Then Signor Polo got jailed in the course of a Venetian-Genoese war and to kill the monotony of a war prisoner’s lot he wrote a long, detailed account of all the wonders he had seen in the unknown, incredible and fantastic Far East. The travels of Marco Polo did not become a bestseller until long after their author's demise, but they landed the enterprising Signor Polo right in the middle of the Harvard classics and many other classical collections of much earlier vintage.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday —Yesterday evening, in New York City, at 8:30, I went t America’s Town Meeting of the Air. I enjoyed the program very much. As so often happens, I felt that many sides of the problem of health could not be covered, even

ping stone to all real welfare and security. But the employees also have a responsibili plans and programs which they can work out - selves, or in co ith the employes.

the past show. The talk is that the Senate will rewrite the bill and take the force out of it. Some time ago the House passed amendments to balance the Wagner Act and they were buried in the Senate. The labor lobby is counting on the same break this time. Vice President Wallace has referred the House bill to the Senate Labor Committee, which leans toward mild legislation, rather than to the Judiciary Committee, which had reported out the Connally plant-seizure bill and which would have been inclined toward a strong bill. Whether the Senate will support the House remains to be seen. During the emergency we probably would be better off with strong legislation. We need restrictions on industry during the emergency. that would be undesirable in normal times. Experience suggests we need them also with regard to labor.

Purpose Is to Stop Strikes

THE PURPOSE IS to get at the strike. The Smith Bill passed by the House goes straight to that point. It outlaws a strike or lockout during a 30-day cooling-off period. A strike could be called only by a secret vote of the employees, taken under Government auspices. The status of the closed shop is not to change. Jurisdictional strikes would be outlawed. Unions would be required to register and make their accounts public. Some details of the Smith Bill may be extreme or impractical, but those essential features ask no more of labor than should be expected during an emergency. Ample opportunity is provided for fair adjustment of wage disputes. Can anybody say that this Administration and its agencies have not taken a sympathetic - attitude toward labor in deciding wage questions? The strike weapon still exists as a last resort but obstacles are thrown in the way of exercising it. That is not only considered good policy during the emergency. It always has been considered good policy, as in the case of the Railway Labor Act devised by labor itself. A democratic government has the right to ask of all its citizens that they assist it during the emergency. By insisting upon that right now, the House gives new respect to the principle of self-government.

By Leland Stowe

What was far more serious Signor Polo gave the entire Western world its first gilded notions about the strange lands and peoples of the stupendously vast Asiatic and Oriental contortions of the globe on which we live. The lure of the East was practically invented— at any rate, it was sold—by Marco Polo. Marco was one of the first great globe-trotting romanticists and undoubtedly deserves all the posthumous honors he has reaped. But it seems greatly to be regretted that Marco, at no point in his fabulous narrative, was so candid as to mention the fact that he was born withqut a sense of smell.

It Took a Lot of Time

GRANTED THAT, this is a sweeping statement For how to prove that Signor Polo, as of the years 1275 to 1205, was utterly bereft of a sense df smell? Well, I should suggest that a visit to almost any populous section of the Far East in the year 1941 will offer all the verification that could possibly be demanded. The East may be a huge geographical entity but it is also a simply formidable collection of odors. These odors are so rich and variegated and pungent that they could not conceivably have been perfected except through centuries and centuries of development. They are produced » a fusion of human, animal and vegetable matters which has changed scarcely at all down through the ages. A Cambodian native lives very much as his 13th century ancestors lived and his village certainly preserves intact the formidable aroma which his forebears regarded as the natural halimark of their homes, Yet never once, in his long eye-opening narrative does Signor Marco Polo indicate that the Far East boasts of a million smells. Lucky old Marco. He will never know what he missed!

T0 DEATH, RED RADIO REPORTS

Cossack Cavalrymen Deal Foe Terrific Blow on Southern Front.

LONDON, Dec. 8 (U.P.).—Powerful German attacks on the Mozhaisk sector due west of Moscow have been repulsed and Russian troops have hurled back attacking Germans north and south of Moscow with annihilation of 10,224 Germans and destruction of vast quantities

of equipment in the Volokolamsk area, Russian war dispatches said today. The Russians were credited with brilliant artillery work. Radio Moscow broadcast that in the Volokolamsk sector 60 miles northwest of Moscow the Germans, in addition to losing 10,224 officers and men in a week’s fighting in temperatures 13 degrees below zero, suffered the loss of 139 tanks and 22 planes. Intense cold set in Friday, according to a broadcast quoting a war correspondent for Pravda, official Communist Party newspaper. Russian troops advancing at night were reported to have found German soldiers frozen to death on a main highway near Volokolamsk.

Tula Situation Tense

The official news agency Tass conceded that the Germans had launched several attacks in the Mozhaisk sector but said they had been repulsed with heavy losses. A German infanfry battalion was reported to have been surrounded and “completely wiped out” in a village near Mozhaisk.

Battle for Hours in South

A severe battle lasted for several hours yesterday in the south, presumably around Taganrog, Radio Moscow said. The Germans were reported to have called in all available troops to throw back Russian forces which had driven a wedge into their lines. It was claimed, however, that the Russian advance in the Taganrog area was continuing. The resistance of troops covering the retreat of the main army of Col. Gen. Ewald von Kleist was being broken. Radio Moscow said 300 towns and villages had been “liberated” in two weeks of fighting since Marshal Semyon Timoshenko launched their offensive which sent von Kleist retreating from Rostov.

TAKE KEY TOWN, GERMANS CLAIM

Capture West of Moscow Reported; 5 Ships Sunk, Berlin Says.

BERLIN, Dec. 6 (U, P.).—A military spokesman said today that the Germans had captured Mozhaisk, a key town, 60 miles west of Moscow. The Germans also claimed to have seized the towns of Mtensk, Cherd, Novosil, Livny and Maloarchangel on the south central sector of the Eastern Front. These five towns are in the Orel

sector about 60 to 100 miles south of Tula.

Seek to Divert Russians

Mtsensk, 80 miles south of Tula, is on the railroad and highway to Orel and the other towns lie on the main road or a short distance east of the highway, indicating that the Germans were attempting to push eastward to divert Russian strength from the southern front. The drives also were headed for the Moscow-Voroshilovgrad railroad line, which is an important communications route still open to the Russians in this sector. The High Command, in its daily communique, admitted the continuance of strong Russian attacks in the Donets River Basin on the southern front but said they had been “warded off” with severe Russian losses. ‘

Take Island In Finland Gulf

It said the Russians had been “defeated” at various points along the front as a whole, “by localized attacks.” Another attempt of the Russians to break through the German lines at Leningrad “collapsed with high casualties,” it added. German marines and shock troops occupied the Russian-held island of Osmussar in the Gulf of Finland, the communique said. It reported that German planes atacked railroad works and supply centers in the Moscow area duing the night, struck trains in the Vologda area on the Moscow-Mur-mansk railread and hit an airplane factory at Rybinsk on the Volga River. :

Libyan Fight Renewed

Meanwhile, severe fighting has been renewed in North Africa, the High Command said. In the war at sea submarines have sunk five ships totaling 25500 Mons from a British convoy, it was claimed. German bombers raided harbor works in southwest England last night. The Nazis claimed that eight British planes were shot down while attempting attacks off the Dutch Coast and in the English Channel area.

SURGEONS WORK AT BATTLE EDGE

Sleep 2 or 3 Hours; No, Lives Lost in 106 Major Operations.

By VIRGIL M. PINKLEY United Press Staff Correspondent WITH CASUALTY CLEARING STATION ON LIBYAN BATTLE

FIELD, Dec. 3 (Delayed) —Today I visited men in white trying desperately to save human live on the edge of raging battles. In this South Africa mobile ambulance hospital the operating theater unit has just completed 106 major operations within 72 hours without losing a single case. The work has been done by two teams working 12 and 16 hours at a stretch and then returning after only two or three hours of sleep.

Doctors in this group avoided making a single amputation among their latest cases, a matter of great gratification to their commanding officer.

U. S. Equipment Used

The unit was taken as close to the battlefield as possible to avoid carrying casualties in ambulances long distances over rough desert tracks. Much of the equipment used was made in the United States including the operating theater, X-ray machines and medicines, As I entered the theater, beclouded by the heavy odor of chloroform and other anesthetics, I saw a red-eyed doctor and his assistant removing pieces of shrapnel from a corporal’s knee. They had just completed a delicate operation on an armored car gunner’s face, which had been shot up pretty badly in a strafing by a German Stuka. “We work under trying conditions but with excellent equipment.” a serious young captain-surgeon said. “There is a chance to do good work here.”

Shrapnel Wounds Mostly

About 70 per cent of the patients handled at the station suffered from shrapnel wounds. The unit twice was surrounded by Axis tanks and armored cars as the fighting shifted. The first time it was at night when lights burned brightly and 80 major cases were in the hospital. “Had they moved in, a large numsber undoubtedly would have died,” a colonel said. “Nazi tanks halted, made an investigation and then passed 20 yards distant. Later British successes brought the unit back to our own territory.”

HOLD EVERYTHING

sponsibilities in the North Atlantic.

The latter circumstance also cleared the way for the dispatch of British capital ships -to the Far East to close the last gap in the steel ring now forged around Japan; the result of which may well be—in the end—the release of important forces both for the Russian and Middle Eastern fronts, and for the North Atlantic.

Unity Hopeful Sign No more hopeful augury for final

| victory in this war could possibly

arise than the appearance of & co-ordinated strategy on the part of the powers opposing Germany.

In the last war, co-operation between the Allies was finally obtained by means of a Supreme War Council, aided by military advisers, But this was only after a great deal of bickering and the’ loss of priceless opportunities—worse, after the waste of irreplaceable lives.

Even so, it was not until the pressure of the most imperative necessity, indeed of imminent disaster, was brought to bear, that it was finally possible to select an inter-Allied commander-in-chief for the Western Front. Such delays in the faster-moving war of 1941 might well be fatal.

Co-ordinate Strategy

It is, therefore, to be hoped that we are indeed seeing the beginnings of a co-ordinated startegy, and that

"lit will develop from informal ar-

rangements operative between distant capitals and dependent on diplomatic channels of intercourse into a real inter-Allied Supreme War Council with adequate technical advisers. The thorny problems attending the appointment of interAllied commanders-in-chief in the various possible theaters of operations should be threshed out in advance of the need for such appointments. Unless some means is found for the co-ordinated employment of the resources of the associated powers against Germany, the Germans are being made a present of a tremendous advantage in the field of initiative as well as in that of material power in any given theater of operations. Such an advantage possibly could be sufficient to swing the balance between victory and defeat.

U. S. Aid Essential

All of which, incidentally, is one more reason why the active and acknowledged belligerency of the United States seems so essential an ingredient of victory. Full American participation in such a War Council is beset by many difficulties and complications as long as that participation has to be conducted on the basis of a legal nonbelligerency which grows in fact Hore fictitious with every passing ay. Such a combined strategy as would thus be made possible, is the best and perhaps the only adequate answer to the one-by-one strategy

which has served the Germans so well up to this point.

Undermine Nazi Plan

Germany has won by the simple process of concentrating her full weight against one opponent at a time, meanwhile combining military, political and psychological means to obtain security for her vital interests elsewhere than in the zone of intended offensive operations, In such measure as this latter step is rendered impossible, in such measure as German vital interests on other fronts are immediately threatened in case of an attempted concentration against one of Germany’s opponents, in just that measure will the whole basis of German offensive strategy be undermined.

ITS RELATIONS “WITH FINLAND -

Ties With Rumania and Hungary Re-examined; Vichy Watched.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6 (U. P.).~= The United States today studied possible steps to take against Fine land, Rumania and Hungary as the result of Great Britain’s decision to declare war on the three enemies of her eastern ally, Soviet Russia. The United States, it was undere stood, will re-examine carefully her relations with the three Axis-domie nated powers. At the same time, some definite word was awaited on the full implie cation of the'recent conference between Marshall Henry Philippe Petain of France and Reichsmare shall Herman Goering on the future of Franco-German collaboration,

Doubt Demands on Petain

Diplomatic quarters were inclined to discount reports that definite dee mands, had been made on Petain and leaned to a belief that Gere many was adopting a persuasive, rather than a belligerent, tone with the Vichy Government. In discussing Britain's action, some officials believed it was still possible that Finland might cease active hostilities against the Soviet when Germany permits her to do so, They noted that Rumania re« portedly has less than two divisions in the Crimea at this time in come parison to stronger military forces in the past. Hungary, with no come mon frontier with the Soviet, never has been a substantial factor in the hostilities. The United States has maine tained a firm attitude against Fine land ever since her troops went bee yond the old Finnish-Russian bore der of days preceding the Soviet attack in 1939. Owes U. 8. $24,000,000 At present Finland is indebted to the United States for about $24,« 000,000. During the Russian invae sion of 1939 the Congress voted her a loan of $35,000,000. About $26,000,000 had been taken up prior to the present war. The British blockade made impossible her use of the remainder. A little more than $2,000,000 has been repaid as well as interest up to Nov. 1, Some diplomats viewed the Brite ish action as aimed at the post war peace table rather than at current hostilities. One diplomat said he believed that with a declaration of war, Britain would not be bound at a peace table by any previous treaties to safeguard the original boundaries of Finland or Rumania,
