Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Charles Harvey Bradley, Marion county’s new civilian defense director. Only 43, Harvey Bradley is president of the W. J. Holliday & C9. (wholesale steel), a World War I veteran, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, sailing enthusiast, amateur photographer and one of ‘the town’s prize worriers. Six-foot, 165-pound Harve Bradley is a stickler for physical fitness. He is a great hand for details, a thorough, painstaking individual who is known widely for his ability to talk right straight to the point. Widely known in his business ; as a conservative, factually minded expert with a passion for fairness, Mr. Bradley he has .a strong sense of civic pride and it is this trait which led him to accept the Job of civilian defense chief—a job, incidentally, which is now taking all his nights in addition to most of his days. In the business world, he is the active manager of the whole W. J. Holliday operation which covers the entire Midwest from plants here and at Hammond. He has been active for years in the American Steel Warehouse association, and just the other day had to turn down a high WPB job in that field because he had just taken on the civilian defense load.

Right in the Thick of It!

BORN IN DUBUQUE, Iowa, Hanve Bradley attended Phillips Academy at Andover, Mass. In his first year at Yale, he enlisted in the marines, fought at Belleau Wood and Chateau Thierry, and was gravely wounded by shrapnel and was gassed in going over the top at issons. Invalided home, he resumed his studies at Yale, came to Indianapolis and got a job with the Fletcher Trust Co. in 1922, Three years later he was hired away by W. J. Holliday, and was president of the firm inside of seven years. During the hectic early days of the NLRB, he was a member of the appeals board, and { did a good job. ‘Still slender, although he’s begun taking on a little weight, he has dark brown eyes, and he’s proud

that his dark hair hasn’t started to turn gray or thin.| o

He wears transparent shell rim spectacles at his desk.

Photography No. 1 Hobby

IN THE WINTER, he plays squash at the I. A. C. Fond of sailboating over week-ends at Lake Maxin%uckee, he gave up active racing when his son proved

his superiority. He likes to swim and still can play a

darned good game of tennis with the kids.

pennies. His No. 1 hobby is photography. He has a darkroom on the third floor of his home in which he en=larges his own photos. Fond of dogs, he has two of them—a pointer named Max (short for Maxinkuckee) and a Scottie named Skippie. He plays bridge only occasionally. At the movies, he insists on a “happy” film—nothing serious, and he seldom misses a Myrna Loy picture. He likes to read and he enjoys the radio.

You've Got to Be Right!

HE LOVES HOT CHILI sauce and it breaks his heart that his stomach won't take "it. He used to smoke Chesterfields; gave up the habit about six months ago. His office at the Holliday plant, is quite plain, and includes a. well worn flat top desk, with an old fashioned rolltop desk at his back. In fact, it’s only been a year or two since he was persuaded to petition off a corner of the general offices so he could have a private office. In talking with him, or maybe arguing, it’s a good idea to be sure you're right about your facts, for he has a sharp mind for facts and figures—never forgets. Salesmen who call on him say that when he “pulls a pencil and a pad” on them, they might as well put on their hat and leave because that’s a sign he has caught them in a misstatement. And if they want proof of it, he generally can 1 find it in a bottom drawer of his desk, too.

We Must Move!

MOSCOW, July 18.—“I think if is not too much to say that the outcome of the entire war and the fu ture of the world will be determined by the opening of a second front in Europe this year.” This is the measured opinion of a foreign observer who almost alone was completely right about the quality of the Soviet army and its ability to offer unprecedented resistance to Hitler's legions when virtually all foreign observers and military experts were utterly wrong. For years this man has been right about Russia—and he is convinced today that the “outcome of the entire. war” depends chiefly upon what British and American forces do or do not do on the European continent much before the time when snow once more smothers Russia's steppes. + Today, a great majority of foreign observers here find themselves in agreement with the man who was once derided for his faith in the Russian army, the efficiency of its officers and the combative spirit of its men. The great 250-mile wide battle of the Don, its coincident threat to Rostov and extended drive toward Stalingrad and the banks of the Volga and its (long-term menace of an energy-sapping process sys= tematically applied to the entire Moscow-Volga area— all these things now combine to make it clear that no army, however big and brave, can be bled for months on end without grave changes in its physical capacities.

India’s Tragedy

WASHINGTON, July 18.—There is grave anxiety here lest open revolt against Britain, perhaps accompanied by civil war among the natives, break out in India, thus paving the way for Japanese invasion

and imperiling the united nations’ position throughout the middle east.

Gandhi, leader of 300,000,000 Indians, has made good his threat of a month ago to launch a movement against British rule that would “shake the world.” He has called for “open rebellion” and laid down an ultimatum that only complete independence fr o m Britain would recall this summons. The British find themselves between the devil and the deep sea. Unless they back down Jn the independence issue, Gandhi's non-violent “open rebellion” may get out of hand and turn violent. If, on the other hand, Britain places Indian rule in the hands of the Hindu majority, the 80,000,000strong Moslem minority may stage an “open rebellion” of their own. No one pretends that Britain has been blameless in conducting her empire, but Gandhi's present stand is highly damaging to his prestige here. It is one thing to be a Godlike ascetic, but something else to be a political opportunist and a visionary into the bargain.

Willing to. Desiroy Everything

FOR WHILE GANDHI is clearly taking advaiivage of Britain’s plight to gain freedom for India, he

My Day

NEW YORK CITY, Friday—Yesterday morning, Miss Elsie Nichols, who is in charge of the victory food campaign for the agricultural department, attended my press conference. I was much interested to find that we have had such a splendid response to the appeal nade by the depart- ¥ Gil ment for more food production. i Now they are going to be able to tell us at certain periods what foods we ought to buy and eat fresh, because they are so plentiful on the market. Dame Nature has had a hand in this, and from now on we should be eating as many Georgia peaches as possible. Young chicken should form a large part of our ¥ diet, and even if Englishmen can T® only get one egg in every three weeks, we may have as many as we want every day and feel patriotic.

is happening ncw and will happen the remainder of this summer bears urgently—URGENTLY in capital letters—upon the indispensable creation of a second front in the west. If the worst comes to the worst, the Germans will have cut the Volga near Stalingrad and all communications between central Russia and the south. They will have battered their way from Rostov all the way to the Caspian. They may even be hammering close to Baku and have the richest oil regions of all Europe and Asia almost within their grasp. At the very least, any such series of develbfiments would prolong the war inestimably—and as for other nations, the eventual total of America’s war dead would be increased by untold hundreds of thousands, perhaps by millions.

You Cannot Blink Facts

THE SERIOUS REVERSES of the British-in Egypt have made the Russian man-in-the-street very skeptical. He questions whether the British are ready and willing to pay the big cost in lives of a second front even though the cost is only a fraction of what Russia has been paying for 13 months. If the second front does not come when it will achieve its all-important purpose—in other words, if it fails to come in a matter of weeks—the Russians are asking gloomily: “How long? Will they be too late?” So all of Russia’s faith and confidence in Britain and the United States stands exposed to such a test as never before has been experienced and this at a moment when the momentous possibilities for future co-operation between our three great allied peoples

were never frightened with such meaning—and hope— |

appears to be blissfully unaware that he is on the point of turning her over to Japan instead. He seems prepared to destroy the very thing he loves best if he can’t have his way and have it now. Not only that but he seems willing” to destroy his best friends along with it. Washington would feel better if Gandhi were somewhat more like the late Jean Jaures, France's great humanitarian, Jaures, too, was against violence and social injustice, He spent his adult life fighting for human freedom, true democracy and the rights of man. He hated war and did his best to organize the world against it.

What Gandhi Locks—

AT BRUSSELS IN JULY, 1914: Jaures tried to talk an international gathering into heading off the war then imminent. When the Germans lent him a deaf ear, France's famed leader of the proletariat then said, in effect: “All right. If there must be war I, for one, shall regret it. But let me make myself clear. If my country is menaced, the working people will be the first at the frontier to defend it. Oh, yes, we may fight among ourselves.. There may be class antagonism. But whatever our political or social differences, French blood flows in our veins and we shall shed it proudly, if shed it we must, for France.’ Two weeks later Jaures did just that—shed his blood for his country. He was shot by a fanatic who disapproved of his views. He was buried while his followers marched off to fight the invader. But, Gandhi, who shares so many of the Frenchman’s’ ideals, seems to lack some of his other qualities—including realism. Apparently his head has been in the clouds so long he can not see the tragedy of India at his feet.

of the chain stores are planning to get together.and sell these victory food specials at cost as they are announced month by month. If peaches are plentiful, there is no reason why even a woman in the city could not buy an additional amount and preserve them, if she has space enough for shelves where her fruit can stand ready for use in the winter months. On the train to New York City yesterday afternoon, I managed to go through a considerable amount of mail. The evening meeting of the executive com-

Monday of the first contingent of feminine soldiers ever accepted as members of the United States army. ~The 440 officer candidates and 330 “buck privates,” known formally as basic auxiliaries, will arrive Monday to begin training in the women’s army auxiliary corps. They will find barracks ready but delays in obtaining classroom equipment will force them to meet outdoors in Iowa’s humid summer heat for classes. Bleachers have been erected to seat the women for their first lectures on military deportment and discipline,

Photos—Inside Lockers

The WAACS will be housed in quarters more military than homelike. While light and cheerful, the barracks resemble those for regular soldiers and contain single-size military cots lining the creamcolored walls. At the foot of each bed is a metal locker and the traditional brown army blankets are on the beds. Col. Don C. Faith announced that if the women want to exhibit pictures of husbands or sweethearts they will have to hang the photographs in their lockers. The first group of women will live in red brick, two-story buildings. New wooden barracks. are under construction behind the old buildings..

Radios Permitted

In the basements, shower facilities, laundries and recreation rooms, containing pianos, radios and lounging chairs, have been installed. Women - seeking athletic diversion will find it at tennis courts, the golf course or the swimming pool. Ft. Des Moines, which originally was established 99 years ago to safeguard the rights of the Sac and Fox Indians, now stands on the southwest edge of Des Moines. It resembles a small college campus with its brick buildings grouped around the flat, rectangular parade ground and its paths lined with tall elms and maples. -

Classes Start Thursday

Classroom work in military discipline, cooking, chauffeuring and other specialized duties will begin next Thursday. The WAAC’s will spend the first three days in “processing”—checking in, taking physical examinations and being outfitted. As the training program progresses, additional women will be assigned to the camp. The army has leased three Des Moines hotels, which await conversion into barracks, and expects to have 7000 women in training here by next Jan. 1.

But there was no fifth column— a highly organized espionage system undoubtedly, but a fifth column such as that which took over the roads and communications in Luxembourg and Norway, no. We got acqouainted with the Honolulu fifth column when we got down on a dock in Pearl Harbor a little more than a week after the attack. “All of these people were in on the plan,” said one. “They went out in the fields and cut swaths in the cane with V’s at the end like an arrowhead pointing toward Pearl Harbor.” We considered that one with a skepticism of which we had later some reason to be proud. “To what end?” we asked. “If a pilot were able to navigate across a few hundred miles of the Pacific and hit the island of Oahu wouldn't he be able to find Pearl Harbor without further directions?” The officer didn’t think so. It was his idea that a pilot might be confused because there were so many bays and inlets of similar shape surrounding the island. But he still wasn't very convincing. It

TAVERN WORKER § FOUND DISEASED

Wasn’t Asked to Show Health Certificate, Woman Says.

Judge John Niblack has asked the city health board to investigate the failure of restaurant and tavern owners to demand health certificates of their employees. His action followed a hearing yesterday in municipal court 4 in which a woman tavern worker was charged with violation of a venereal disease ordinance which prohibits appearing in public if infected by the disease. . Her husband, arrainged at the same time on a vagrancy charge, was also suspected of having the disease and it was learned that he was a cook in a city restaurant.

Judge Niblack declared in court: “I can’t understand why these people have not been required to give health certificates. For several weeks now there has been a campaign on in the city to clean up vice and venereal diseases and a close check should be kept on restaurant and tavern workers to see that they furnish. a health certificate.” He pointed out that when arrests
