- Hoosier Vagabond

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Jan. 3—My friends in San Francisco assured me that they now had themselves in hand and could spare my guidance and counsel for a few days. So we'll drop back to Albuquerque for a little while, to sit and reminisce over that now-departed three months of idleness. All through the fall, you know, I disappeared into the great void, and wallowed in the luxurious experience of not making a living. That three months was my longest stretch of “non-work]’ in nearly 19 years. It was a nice experiment. For all my life I had heard it said that an active man couldn't sit around and do nothing. But I am a living, walking refutation of that ridiculous theory. I reveled in laziness, Another month and I would have been statie,

So I am now an experienced craftsman in the art of loafing, and I can assure you that loafing is wonderful, and that working is a very poor way to spend a fay, Of course the sudden excitement of America at war sent me back to work eagerly and in a hurry, but that doesn't spoil my new philosophy. AS soon as the war is over I'm going to sigh a deep good-for-nothing sigh, write “phooev” at the end of my last column, and never do another lick of honest work as long as I live.

A Croquet Expert

IN THESE THREE idle months I didn't do a single constructive thing, unless you eall playing croquet constructive. I did become a shark at croquet. And

By Ernie Pyle

incidentally I turned my croquet wizardry to a nice profit.

For it happens that one of our friends out here is a contractor named Earl Mount, and he suffers from a hallucination that he can play croquet. This hallucination is so stubborn that he is willing to bet money on it, and he just keeps on betting (praise Allah). : . So throughout the fall I managed to make, not exactly a lavish living, but a very comfortable one, just taking a quarter away from Mr. Mount five or six times every afternoon. But what you want to know most, I expect, is about “That Girl.” Well, she is beginning to perk again. Her escape from death was much Sslithmer than most of you ever suspected. She spent seven weeks in the hospital, and will be under a nurses care all winter. : There is considerable question whether my presence here was legitimate or not. One school of thought holds that there was some justice in my dropping the columns until she was out of the woods. The other school avows that I really am lazy, and merely used her iliness as an excuse for a long rest. Personally I know the answer, but I ain't telling.

Thanking the Well-Wishers

THAT GIRL and I both were deeply touched by the cards, letters and flowers that came from unknown friends all over the.country. If any of you haven't been thanked, consider yourselves thanked. And oh ves. While we're at it, I waht to seize this opportunity to say that I am disgruntled and disgusted with all of you. It had been my impression that the American reading public would simply fold up and wither away if denied the daily hypodermic of this column. But now, after a three-month famine, I see youre all as healthy and frisky as steers. I've never been so insulted in my life.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: John Whistler Atherton, State Senator, secretary-treasurer of Butler University, former teacher and one-time school book salesman, who doesn't go to basketball games because they get him too excited, and he always wants to “kill the referee.”

In his early sixties, Jack Atherton is affable and vigorous. A great conversationalist, he'd rather chat with his friends than do most anything else, He weighs around 200, stands about 5 feet 9, has iron gray hair, a high forehead, still dark and bushy eyebrows, and a hearty voice. Matter of fact, he seems to think nobody can hear well because he literally “booms” all the time. He throws his shoulders into his walk. Fond of cigars, he tries every now and then to quit them. He's in the throes of trying to quit right now, but stil] carries cigars; gives them to his friends to smoke so he can smell them. Sometimes he'll just light the end of one, hold it in his hand and sniff the smoke, He likes jewelry and has a small drawerful of fine watches at home; never goes out without wearing at least two of them. He also collects fountain pens and always has a couple in his pocket.

Loves to Broil Steaks

Born in the little town of Tailholt. made famous by Riley, he was reared near Cumberland. worked his way through Butler and the University of Chicago, taught history and coached football at Kokomo and South Bend. He was western manager for Charles Scribner & Sons, handling school text sales, when Butier drafted him in 1920 to become its financial secretary. As such, he has raised several millions for its endowment fund, including a million for the Arthur Jordan Memorial Hall. Jack Atherton’s greatest delight is to entertain a group of friends at a steak dinner. He goes to the butcher shop and selects the steaks—two inches thick; carries them home and then broils them himself. He usually is wearing an apron when he greets his guests

“Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3.—Most of all we need speed in making airplanes. They come at the head of the list now. Ut less we have planes quickly and in large numbers, we may be under attack on the West Coast, the Panama Canal and Alaska. Many here hope that President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill are agreed that first place shall go to planes. The second hope is that Mr.

Roosevelt will be able to take time

out to shake up OPM and SPAR. The hope is that Mr. Roosevelt will give the ball to Donald Nelson, now executive director of SPAB but sadly cramped by lack of full, clear-cut authority. Turn him loose to put every possible yactory, big and little, at work making plane parts, Take William Knudsen away froin his desk here. He is all tangled up in red tape and doesn’t know how to handle it. Get him out in the field where he can do a real job as trouble shooter in production. I don't know much about these things. But some people who do know about them feel strongly that this is the way we must go now. I have every confidence in their judgment and I am riding with them.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday.—-I spent yesterday afternoon peacefully reading by my own fire, for I decided that was about as good a way to see the new Year in as possible, since the weather outside was not tempting. One or two people came in at 5 o'clock. Afterwards the rain became a gentle drizzle and I went for a walk around the Washington Monument. The longer I live here, the more the Washington Monument grows on me. It changes in color with the atmosphere and it is beautiful at all times. Yesterday evening, the tracery of the bare trees near it stood out against its white background. It had a misty soft outline, which was entirely different than the clear-cut look it had against the blue sky. Last night the Prime Minister's nephew, who is in our Navy, came to dinner with his wife, and Mr. Lowell Mellet joined us also. The news of the fall of Manila is in the afternoon papers.

He often lunches at the Columbia Clubs “Butler” round table, dines on a salad bowl to hold down his weight, and usually grabs his companion’s check,

Walls Lined With Books

His Swiss chalet type home is at 5060 Pleasant Run Bivd. He's quite proud of the beautiful lawn, but not proud enough to work on it. The four walls of the living room are covered with bookshelves. Reading and entertaining are his principal relaxations. He enjoys the better current literature, biographies and historical novels, and even detective stories,

He makes it a point to know most everyone, and he'll go to almost any lengths to serve a friend— even to the point of embarrassing himself. His office always is open to Butler students. An ardent Republican, he'd enjoy spending all his time at politics if he didn’t have to earn a living. In the recent session of the Legislature, he showed his independence when he was one of the three Republicans voting to uphold the Governor's veto of the Attorney General bill.

Enthusiastic Motorist

He wears conservative clothing, buys two or three suits at a time; and likes nice ties. He enjoys popular music and is particularly fond of the Blue Danube and the Stephen Foster songs. One of his weaknesses is shopping for groceries. At City Market he has a regular field day—comes out with his arms loaded. An incessant newspaper ‘buyer, he seldom passes a newsstand without buying one or two papers. An enthusiastic motorist, he likes to get behind the whee] and just drive for days, on vacation trips. Last summer he drove to Los Angeles and Seattle. Occasionally he motors to Florida, and about twice a year he visits the Great Smokies. And he expects to keep right on this year, too, since, with typical Atherton foresight, he equipped his ear with five new tires just before the ban was ordered on tire sales.

Panama Canal with carrier-borne airplanes. Published dispatches indicate anxiety about an attack on Alaska. Perhaps Japan cannot do all of this overnight. But she is now showing ability to strike about the Pacific at will. Already Japan has captured rich tin centers and rubber country in Malaya. With a little more effort Japan will have access to many of the raw materials so desperately needed. Once secure in the Far East, her next effort would certainly be to try for Hawaii, to press her attack against the Canal and our West Coast shipping and aircraft centers, and perhaps attempt to obtain a base in Alaska. That would be the natural way for Japan to try to bring us to terms, and to persuade us to gcecept an armistice that would leave her in control in the Pacific, which is what she is after.

Time Is Growing Short

WE MAY HAVE to meet these possibilities in a matter of months. This war moves fast. We can't build a new navy ih a few months. Under the old conceptions it would almost take a new navy to deal with the situation. But we ean turn cut airplanes quickly. Mr. Roosevelt talks about turning half of our production into war work. That can and will be done. But into what kind of production? Materials are limited. We shall run into all kinds of bottlenecks and shortages.

If we try to increase our production horizontally —we shall be scattering our fire and be constantly de. layed by competition for materials and labor. If we give first place to planes, we can insure that there will be no interruptions or delays in these most ure gent weapons. Then we can follow in behind with as much of everything eise as is needed, in the order of urgency. That is the way a good many people here are thinking. It appeals to me as a sensible view.

WORST DEFEAT BY U.S. FLIERS

Yanks and RAF Knock Out 28 Enemy Planes Strafing Rangoon.

By LELAND STOWE

ight, 1942 by The Indianapolis Times cone ne Chicago Daily News, Inc.

RANGOON, Jan. 3.—The Christmas day reception which young American and Royal Air Force pilots, fighting the second aerial

than 100 Nipponese bombers and fighters on the outskirts of Rangoon that day has now been established as the first walloping and crushing defeat that the Japanese air force has suffered in four and one-half years of war. t Simultaneously, these youngsters proved that, given the planes, they can knock the living daylights out of . Japanese aircraft and veteran airmen—and all they ask for is a chance to fight on something like even terms. What has happened here in two Japanese raids is almost unique throughout the entire war. It is an honorable equivalent to what R. A. PF. fighter squadrons did to the Luftwaffe in September, 1940, when they fought the battle of Britain and saved the British Isles from invasion.

Japanese Won't Forget

Fighting with the same magnificent spirit and against similar odds, the Yankees and Britishers dealt the Japanese raiders such a blow as they will never forget. Here are revised figures based on rechecks with the boys who did the fighting: In the Christinas combat the Japanese lost at least 16 bombers and 12 fighters, or a total of 28, compared to six Anglo-American planes lost. Moreover, the Americans who the enemy above the sea are confident that several more Nipponese planes were destroyed there where confirmation is impossible. In any case, it is now certain the Japanese lost approximately 25 per cent of all the bombers and fighters with which they attacked Rangoon Dec. 25.

South Dakotan Is Ace

The ace of the American “scalpers” squadron is an unassuming, straightforward farm boy from South Dakota, who is known as “Duke” to American fliers in Burma. Duke shot down four Japanese bombers and one fighter in 30 minutes of combat and bagged his last one just before his gasoline ran out. Duke has South Dakota's farmlands stamped upon his rugged, medium stature. He told us how it happened in simple phrases. You like the cut of his jib and that look in his eyes. Very quickly you were glad it happened to him. “The first formation of bombers was closed up when we attacked,” he said. “I am pretty sure I got two of them. I gave them bursts at from 200 to 50 yards and saw them both go down. But, of course, maybe somebody else had winged them. Anyhow, it doesn’t matter, it is only what the squadron does that counts.

Own Plane Shot Up

“Afterward I saw three bombers cut loose to one side, so I went after them, and I know I got two. I was alone and both went down in flames. Later on I got one fighter.

pretty badly. “We were low on gas because we were up nearly two hours before we caught the Japanese. When I landed I was fresh out of gas.” That is all the ace of the scalpers had to say about his Japanese scalps. My British colleague asked him if, in the United States air force, they automatically awarded the Distinguished Service Cross to an aviator when he had got seven planes, as is the custom in: the Royal Air Force. “I don’t know,” replied Duke. “I hadn't thought about that.” Maybe somebody back home will, but even if they don’t Duke will be in the fighting.

Japs Lose 92 Pilots

In terms of aviation personnel, the Japanese defeat was staggering. The Christmas raid cost them at least 92 pilots and bomber crewmen, compared with only four pilots for the Anglo-American defenders of Burma's airfront. Counting the first Japanese raid of Dec. 23, the score stands as a minimum of 149 air personnel eliminated for the Japanese and only six pilots lost by the Yankees and

VICHY ANNOYED BY PARIS PRESS

Failed to Print Petain’s New Year Message but Carried Hitler's.

By PAUL GHALI

VICHY, Jan. 3.—News reaching here today to the effect that Paris newspapers had failed to print Chief of State Marshal Henri Philippe Petain’s New Year's address to the French people created some surprise. The speech was probably omitted in yesterday morning's Paris papers because they were required to publish Adolf Hitler's address to the German nation. But, up to this writing no part of Petain's speech has as yet appeared nor has any allusion been made to it by the Paris press. Reports also indicate that Paris newspapermen are uneasy. The marshal alluded in his speech to all those who fail to work for French unity as deserters, Furthermore the Paris press is not pleased with Vichy's attitude toward the Riom trials. Trial Delay Likely It has always reproached Vichy for dallying in this regard and it now seems probable that the trials will be postponed for a month as a result of the retirement of president of the court, La Garde, who resigned for reasons of health. His successor, former Attorney General Caous, will require some time to study the voluminous files. Meanwhile, the matter of French possessions in the Atlantic drew general attention again. The official journal published a law extending the November, 1939, decree, impbsing severe penalties on persons per petrating crimes against the security of the state, to Martinique, Guadalupe, St. Pierre and Miquelon. This virtually constitutes the institution of martial law and will enable Vichy's High Commissioner, Rear Admiral Georges Robert, to

But, I am familiar with the delivery of medical supplies. Last July I spent five days in Kwei|yang, 300 miles south of Chungking, on the Burma Road, headquarters of the Chinese Red Cross medical relief corps. Here all the supplies sent by the Medical Bureau of American Aid to China and the American Red Cross are shipped. Shipments Took Months

“I visited the warehouses, 10 warehouses full of supplies and five more in which the supplies were being irepacked in smaller units for use {at the front, and I examined the |system of checking shipments from the American bureau. Shipments from New York to Kweiyang took from four to six months, but at the

Faster Now, Arnstein Says

A transportation expert himself intimately acquainted with conditions along the Burma Road, but whose experience antedated Leland Stowe’s, agrees in part with the correspondent's survey. He is Daniel |G. Arnstein, upon whom the United [States Government relies for guid(ance in straightening out the mess. | “It's true that the Burma Road has been a tremendous racket and a bad transportation system,” said Mr. Arnstein today. But, Mr. Arnstein emphasized, things have moved with wartime speed in the last few weeks. Americans have assumed control, and the men now in charge are of the type who can and will correct the evils which have in the past impeded the flow of essential supplies to the Chinese Government and | fighting forces, he declared. Only after thes U. S. was officially in the war was it possible to put into action the plans formulated in Washington after Mr. Arnstein made his report to President Roosevelt last September.

Psychological Blow

These same extraordinary vital statistics reveal the terrific punish. | ment which inferior numbers of American and British pilots imposed upon the cream of the Japanese air force here even though their adversaries were veterans and they were in aerial combat for the first time. It appears that the Japanese, after their initial successes, due uniquely to blitz attack, have suffered above Rangoon their first serious defeat of the war. The psychological effect of this blow upon the Japanese air force cannot yet be estimated, but beyond question it is likely to be considerable.
