Hoosier Vagabond

CRESCENT CITY, Cal, Jan. 17—In years past I have seen many a wrecked ship lying on the rocks up and down California's coast. A ship orn the rocks is a pitiful thing. Somehow you think of it as a human giant who has been struck down. But now I have just seen a different kind of wrecked ship. This was a ship wrecked by a Japanese submarine. It was the Emidic, one of the first casualties of our war. The ship did not sink. It drifted northward for a few days, and then wind and tide carried it right into the harbor here at Tp Crescent City. Finaly it nosed XN up alongside a great rock and e i went aground. From the shore it looks like any other ship which accidentally went on the rocks. But you stand and look at it with a grave face, for hete is a corpse of our own war, stretched in its agony upon our own shore. This is war in our own house.

Catalina Would Be Nicer

AND SPEAKING of the war, many of the military experts whe have written treatises on a possible American-Japanese war have pointed out Bodega Bay as one of the likely landing places in case of & Jap attempt to invade our continent. To me, the idea of invasion is fantastic. But anyhow, I took a drive over to Bodega Bay to see what our potential “Lingaven™ looks like. Believe me, it looks bleak. Bodega Bay is about 50 miles north of San Francisco, and 25 miles west of Santa Rosa. For miles inland the country is hilly, and there's hardly a tree on it. Few people live in the district. The bay itself was sort of disappointing. It isn’t especially pretty. A few small fishing boats were anchored a short way out. The water isn't deep enough to take big ships, so the Japs would have to unload outside and come in on barges, if they came.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Emsley Wright Johnson, amateur astronomer, dirt farmer, student of Lincoin, and one of the town's top flight attorneys. Hes been described as “the fightingest lawyer for a client there ever was.” He wouldnt admit it, but he gets a big kick out of a rough and tumble battle of wits with his courtroom opponents. Emsley Johnson, at 63, is still as scrappy as he was 20 or 30 years ago. He's not large physically —5 feet 9, and about 155 pounds— but he seems to radiate determination. He has an alert, aggressive face, squarish chin, firm mouth, dark gray hair and a strong speaking voice. He wears silver rim glasses. A conservative dresser, he almcst always wears dark blue suits, likes red ties. He is fond of chicken and roast beef—well done. A total abstainer, he never has touched tobacco, doesn’t like One of his peeves is the loud mouthed radio

By Ernie Pyle

That would certainly take them several hours, and within two hours half of San Francisco could be up there, standing on the shore with hatchets and razor blades. No, if I were Tokyo, I'd just cross Bodega Bay off the list and concentrate on Catalina Island, where ‘they have a good hotel and a nice bar.

Meet the Youngest Rodeo Star

DRIVING NORTHWARD through California, I stopped one rainy noon in the little town of Willits, and inquired at the Traveler's Hotel as to the whereabouts of a noted young man of that recibn, Lee Persico by name. It seems he is America’s youngest rodeo performer. “Well, I'm his father,” said the man I had spoken to. “He and his mother are on their way in from the ranch now, if you'll just wait a while.” So in due time the miniature cowpoke came striding in, smoking a long black licorice cigar left over from Christmas. My interview witth our young hero was rather incomplete. Not that he was especially modest about nis accomplishments, but simply that he was too busy smoking his licorice cigar and throwing checker men across the floor and chasing them, to be bothered with small talk. But I did learn from his parents the following facts: Lee is five years old. He first rode a horse alone when he was 15 months. He has been performing in rodeos since he was two. He comes by it naturally, as his father followed the professional rodeo circuit for a dozen years.

Lees parents have turned down Hollywood offers and other stuff for their offspring, as they don’t want him spoiled. But there has been an accumulation of expense money and what not amounting to $400, which they banked for him. “Does he realize anything about the war?” I asked. “Yes, he does,” his father said. "The morning after Christmas he suddenly said, ‘Let's go to town and buy Defense Bonds with my money.’” So they did—$400 worth.

Works Hard at Home

He always has several hobbies on the string and works hard at them. At one time it was Indian arrow heads, and he has a nice coilection in his attic. Another was the collection of various types of stones found in Indiana. He's enthusiastic about flowers and his home at 3447 Washington Blvd. is a floral showplace in the summer. He likes a wide variety of flowers but particularly admires roses—deep red roses. : For years he has collected every book on Lincoln that he could find, and he has probably the best Lincoln library in the city. Farming always has been a hobby with him. He has added several farms to the old home place until] he now owns and actively operates 700 acres in Pike and Washington Townships. He's proud of his two Guernsey herds, one of them registered, and he aiso fattens beef cattle. His idea of a nice vacation is to get on farm clothes and work in the hayfield for a week. At least three times a week, winter and summer, he drives out to the farm before breakfast and

ARGENTINA IS WITH AMERICA SIMMS THINKS

But Hopes That Any Break With Axis Will Be Mostly Diplomatic.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor RIO DE JANEIRO, Jan. 17.—-I have reason to believe that Argentina has now made up her mind to join the rest of the Americas in a break with the Axis. But she seems to hope that, so far as she is concerned, the break may be a de facto one, rather than de jure. Meanwhile, there were indica« tions that another of the serious problems of the conference was approaching solution when Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Julio Tobar Donoso attended the inaugural meeting of the economic foroperas tion committee. Tobar Donoso remained away from yesterday's plenary session after reported statements that the Ecuadorians would not attend comnference sessions until the guarane tees ‘were given that the longspanding boundary dispute with Peru would be settled here. A high Argentine personality here told me that his country had no intention of evading collaboration in vital matters of hemisphere defense but that it believed nonbelligerency would be of greater value to the United States than any extreme action it might take.

Real Break Wanted

It was pointed out that Argentina had already virtually severed relations with Germany. While the Nazi ambassador is still in Buenos Aires he is not functioning in that capacity. Berlin has long known he is persona non grata. Argentine Foreign Minister RuizGuinazu is reliably understood to be

|talking in this vein here. Neverthe-

less there is an unmistakable feeling among other delegates that the time has come for a forthright stand on the part of every American state. They take the position that a de facto break with the Axis wouid not be enough. The moral effect on the Axis will be twice as great if all 21 republics vote a rupture unanimous-

Washington

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17 —Much is yet tc be done beyond the constructive action taken by the President in the last few days. He cant do it all him-

self, but several situations need his help. For instance, civilian defense needs a shakeup like the one Mr. Roosevelt gave to war production when he put Donald Nelson in charge. At last the President seems to have overcome his chronic reluctance to delegate large authority. He seems to have become convinced that this show Is big enough to need several ringmasters. That is what Mr. Roosevelt finally has done with war production. He is trying to do the same thing in price control by appealing to Congress to go along with him and to abandon the division of authority and the sabotage of price levels which the farm bloc has attempted. In setting up the new War Labor Board, Mr. Roosevelt gave it more power, including that of abritration. All of this is moving toward more drive, more conceniraticn of authority, and away from the buck-

passing. Tire Rationing a Bright Spot

WHILE HE IS going good and while he has public enthusiasm behind these comstructive measures, Mr. Roosevelt has a good opportunity to end the fantastic situation in the Office of Civilian Defense.

My Day

NEW YORK CITY, Fridayv.—We accomplished a great deal of work on our rainy trp vesteroay, far more than I thought would be possible, so I am planning to take another one before long to finish various odd jobs. On arrival here, I had to spend an hour and a half with the dentist. which is never a very pleasant occupation. Then I had a delightful tea party with my aunt Mrs. Stanley Mortimer, and her son and daughter. The daughter is going to spend several months in Washington, which will be very pleasant. In the evening. we went to see “Angel Street.” which I recommend to anyone who wants to be absorbed and taken out of his daily round of interests. “You sit on the edge of your chair most of the time and it is really a grand mystery story.

But the part which seems to me incredibly hard to play, night after night, is that of the wife, who is slowly being driven insane by her husband. Miss Judith Evelyn does a very fine piece of acting, but I should think she would be exhausted afterwards. Just before he left for Rio De Janeiro, Dr. LI. S. Rowe, director general of the Pan-American Union, announced that the students of 21 American republics have been invited to make a study of interAmerican affairs, as part of the hemisphere forum which the Pan-American union is sponsoring. They are to meet in discussion groups in their respective countries and then submit papers on the subject “What Inter-American Co-Operation Means to My Country.” Two four-year university scholarships are offered for the best papers submitted, one for the papers written in Spanish, of French. and one for the, papers written in English These papers must be in by April 14 1942 and all high school students are hg

For example there is a resolution calling for inter-American action against subversive activities of all kinds. A sort of Pan-American Dies Committee would be formed to collect and exchange such information, and to recommend common action against sabotage, espionage and Axis activities of all kinds whether by groups or individuals. Communication by telephone, tele= graph and radio would be brought under strict supervision, and various economic, firancial and commercial con'rols would be established. In short, in addition to a rupture with the Axis a vast inter-American machivery is to be set up to make hemisphere defense effective.
