ho Man From Cincinnati

THE MAN FROM CINCINNATI was standing in ‘tent of the ash _ tray vase in the lobby of English’s yesterday during intermission and t is how I happened to bump into him. I had a cigaret butt to

k fn the sand. “He said excuse him, please, did he get any of his cigar ashes y suit? I said, oh, that was all right. That 1s how 3 staried,

corps was helping out to make ft a patriotic occasion. “The folks here,” commented the stranger, “sing the ‘Star Spangled Banner’ better.than we do in Cincinnati. They know the words.” I pointed out that there were probably a good many voice students in the audience, which was a great help. But the stranger remained firm in his conviction and seemed inclined to argue the point,

something there. I wonder if L mow it?”

First Sunday He Enjoyed “YOU KNOW,” said the stranger “this is the first Sunday afternoon I can say I have really en_Joyed in Indianapolis in a long time. I come from Cincinnati, you know.” I nodded. . “Well,” he said, “my line is junjor miss dresses. I used to enjoy driving up here, but you know how it is with tires.. I take the train and get in Sunday and there Joust anything to do until morng “So I walk around the Circle to - English’s and if there is something going on, I go in. This is the first time I have heard this man Cramer, “I can tell you, young fellow, that this Cramer is good. He has what you call verve. Local fellow, I gather.” I said that was right. “Do you play piano?” I said I didn’t, “Well, I do,” said the man from Cincinnati. “I have been playing ever since I was a kid. Know how long that’s been? It's been 50 years. “I have heard many people who think they can play the piano and I know when they can’t. I have heard all the big shots. I have heard most of the punks. “My opinion, you can take it for what it's. worth, is that this fellow . . . what's his name? , .. oh, yes, ‘Cramer . . . my opinion is that he can play the piano and he deserves a bigger audience than he has here today. “Of course, you know the story about the prophet, not honeren in his own land.

You saw him rehearse on top of the keys without punching them before a number? “It made me nervous. He doesn’t have to do that, either. Wonder why he does?” The man from Cincinnati didn’t wait for an answer, He continued: “For those two Chopin pieces, I wouldn’t give you 2 cents, Beethoven, all right. This is a nice, afternoon-tea sonata. Know what I liked? “That sonata No. 4 by Scriabin. Know why? Scriabin is a mode ern.

WILLIS ASSAILS COCHRANE BILL

{Joins Hoosier Congressmen

Who Fear Loss of State Revenue.

Times Special WASHINGTON, March 16.—Senator Raymond E. Willis (R. Ind.) today condemned the Cochran bill which would relieve war contractors: and subcontractors from the Indiana gross income tax and pledged united Hoosier Republican support against it, Rep. Charles A. Halleck (R. Ind.)" led the fight against the measure in the house rules committee on Priday and will continue his opposition today, he said. Should the bill, which would relieve war contractors from all state and local gross income sales and use taxes reach the house floor a

fight will be staged nere. If fit passes the opposition will be continued in the senate. The army and navy wants the bill passed to simplify their bookkeeping, officers told the rules committeemen,

The Willis Statement

Senator Willis’ statement opposing the bill reads: “Insofar as I have been able to ascertain every Republican congressman from Indiana is emphatically opposed to the Cochran bill provisions of which would exempt certain defense concerns of our state from payment of gross income tax.” “We are out of sympathy with the obvious erdeavor of the federal government first to syphon away the states’ legitimate income and then later to offer us paternal federal assistance when we are in the red. We cannot look with favor on any potential precedent which threatens federal interference with the right of states to levy their own taxes for their own purposes without federal direction.

Sees School Threat

“In Indiana passage of the Cochran bill would be packed with a threat to the public school system and - state agencies maintained by the one-fourth of revenue raised by the gross income tax and the extra burden Jaid upon Indiana by increased defense activity comes at a time when we are certain to feel the need for more revenue rather than less. There is no more logical source of .revenue for defense need than the profits derived from defense activity itself. “Nor can the federal government reasonably argue that its admittedly unprecedented revenue needs make the Cochran bill necessary, for its provisions would net the national government only about $200,-

4000,000—only two-thirds of the sum

it recently sought to hand the states on a platter through unemployment benefits which the states insisted they neither wanted nor needed.”

Pastor With Gun Stops Tire Theft

LAKE BUTLER, Fla., March 16 (U. P.).—The Rev. Edwin Harwell, normally a mild-mannered Baptist minister, pocketed a $20 appreciation reward today because he knew when to use a doublebarreled shotgun. Here is how it happened: The Rev. Harwell, who says he has to have his car to minister to his flock, heard a noise out- . side. He saw four men attempting to steal the tires from his car. Hurriedly he got his shotgun and surprised them. Then at gun point he marched them through the streets to jail. The community, irked over recent tire thefts, passed the hat and netted the $30 which they

Hoosiers in Washington—

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY

WASHINGTON, March 16— Mild-mannered Lowell Mellett, who came from Elwood, Ind., but never has been very noisy about it, is the hottest Hoosier in Washington at the moment. Today he continues his defense of the $600,000 information center project which President Roosevelt has ordered without congressional consent. The center will occupy a square block directly across ‘from the famed Willard hotel in downtown Washington. It will house Mr. Mellett’s office of ‘government reports and a whole staff of girls in uniform. Because Congress had taken a negative attitude toward the center and The Washington Post called it such gaudy names as “Our Greatest Boondoggle” and “Mellett’s Madhouse,” both senate and house committees have had Mr. Mellett on capitol hill to explain. This continues today before the house public buildings and grounds committee of which Rep. Earl Wilson (R. Ind.) is an exceedingly ‘active member, Rep. Wilson didn’t tangle much with his fellow-Indianian. But he did clash with Rep. Newt V. Mills (D. La), when Rep. Mills gave a lengthy report about how Mr. Mellett’s office had gotten him some information from the department of agriculture for the home folks. “Couldn't the Congressman get that information himself?” Rep. Wilson inquired and for a few minutes the fur began to fly. At the close oY this argument, the Louisianian suggested that since this was a personal slight to him and a direct questioning of his efficiency the remarks should be stricken from the record of the hearings. But the bantam-battler Wilson stuck by his guns. “If you want that reference struck from the record you can

move to strike it out yourself, Ill not do so,” Rep. Wilson replied. Chairman Pritz G. Lanham (D. Tex.) came to the rescue and ordered the whole passage stricken.

Wickard Trimmed’

Secretary of Agriculture Claude R. Wickard's department took the stiffest trimming so far on nondefense expenditures. After nine days of debate in the house, a total of $57,000,000 was cut, the major item being the farm security administration farm tenant loans. But congress isn’t the only place where the dirt farmer secretary from Camden, Ind, has suffered. Due to the firm stand of President Roosevelt, he is dominated on farm price rulings by Leon Henderson, price administration czar. This is so well known here that a joke of Secretary Wickard's touching “on the subject was reported in the Washington society columns. Both Wickard and Henderson attended a gay party given by Mrs. Evie “Chip” Robert at which the hostess was presented with a bicycle by Charles Michelson, Democratic national committee publicity director. Guests took to riding the bike in the back yard of the swank Sulgrave club. So. Secretary Wickard offered to take Administrator Henderson on the handle-bars. “Leon has taken me for so many rides, I'd like to take him for one,” the Hoosier cabin member said.

Pettengill Visitor

Former Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill, South Bend Democrat, visited in the house Friday and talked to several members about his plan for winning the war. In an open letter to President Roosevelt, he incorporated this advice: “Your people want to unite to win the war, But they will not unite on the New Deal. You have stated

the formula. First things first. Does|

the war or the New Deal come first?

WASHINGTON, March 16 (U. P.).—8hed a tear for the roistering gob of old with a girl in every port and a naked lady on his chest—

he's a fast-disappearing type. At least, that's what they say at the navy department. “We've got a pretty good bunch of boys,” a navy spokesman said, “They behave themselves and keep out of trouble.” However that may be, the boys aren't flaunting undraped Venuses and muscle dancers on their manly chests and arms as in days of yore, “We discourage tattooing of all sorts and forbid the obscene kind,” the spokesman said. “Recruits with naked women on them are not accepted—unless they equip the ladies with skirts or something. And if a sailor acquires obscene tattooing after he gets in the navy, we reserve the right to discharge him.” “As for girls in every port,” he continued, “the boys don’t get much .|shore leave these days and—well, there are a lot of ports our navy doesn’t visit any more.” If the modern American sailor is better behaved it’s not because he's any less lusty or adventurous. “He's just more intelligent,” the spokesman said, “And we treat him differently.”

ors haven't changed. In 1707, Ed-|’ ward Ward, a Briton, reported in “The Wooden World” that the sailor was “the greatest rambler in Christendom.” And when on shore leave, Ward wrote, “knowing his time to be but short, he crowds much in a’ little room and lives as fast as possible.” “That's still true,” the spokesman admitted.

“The New Dealers cannot win the war. They are a minority. Without the united support of the 22,000,000 Willkie votes and the millions of Democrats who opposed the third term but felt they had no place to go, the war will either not be won, or be terribly prolonged.

“MTF. President: You and congress must strip for action. Everything that frustrates fighting must go overboard for the duration.

“Abandon the 40-hour week. This is not a time-and-one-half war. “Announce positively there will be no fourth term. “Put OCD under the governors of the 48 states, as a sort of state militia with federal supervision.
