‘Hoosier Vagabond

SOMEWHERE IN NORTHERN IRELAND, July 82.—The army’s censorship rule against datelining bind newspaper dispatch from this country with the ame of a specific town is a good one, from a military standpoint, but it has resulted in.a feeling qf vagueness among the folks back home go about their boys over here. Northern Ireland is not awfully

big, yet the constant dateline “Somewhere in Northern Ireland”

is to the folks at home practically like datelining a piece “Western Hemisphere.” You can’t picture in your mind where the boys are, or just how they live. So I'll try to tell you, and I think it can be done without going outside the censorship rules. First, T'll try to describe the country to you. Northern Ireland, which is a part of the United Kingdom, forms the northeast corner of the island. The eastern and northern sides are all coastline. The western and southern boundaries are inland. Northern Ireland is almost circular. Right in the middle is a big lake called Lough Neagh. (The word lough, which means either bay or lake, is pronounced “lock”)., Northern Ireland is roughly 90 miles across, in any direction. You can drive across it in two hours and a half. It is honeycombed with roads. They are macadamized, and in good shape, but very narrow. They are also quite crooked.

Dispersal and Mobility

PRACTICALLY EVERYWHERE the roads are toed on both sides with vine-covered stone fences. The fields are tiny. Farmhouses and towns occur with about the same frequency as in, say, eastern Pennsylvania. The country is very rolling, with some low mountains. Everything is a vivid green. There are nearly 200 cities and towns in Northern

By Ernie Pyle

Ireland, running all the way from Belfast, with nearly half a million, down to picturesque little villages with just a few people. Our troops are everywhere. They are at dozens of towns and villages. They are in the fields, and hidden along the edges of woods. There is no such thing as a big permanent camp, with rows of wooden barracks, such as we have at home. That would make the men too vulnerable to bomber attack. The whole point of the army’s training here is dispersal and mobility.

Everything is scattered to begin with, and units |

don’t stay permanently in one place.

Old on-the-Go-Pyle

EVERY UNIT IN Northern Ireland is prepared to abandon station completely and move on to somewhere else on a few hours’ notice—and often does. That's to train them to do it when they finally get into battle. Even the main headquarters moves occasionally. All Joonones in the army’s offices here are field telephgnes in canvas boxes that can be moved instantly. All records are kept in trunklike boxes. All they have to do is slam the lid shut, pick the thing up and take the records with them. So, if you're trying to picture where your boy is, he’s all over Northern Ireland. He's worse than a tourist. There is only one place in Northern Ireland that I can name specifically, and that’s the new naval base at Londonderry. There sailors and marines are in permanent quarters. They are working at a daily routine in machine shops, instead of training for battle. So first of all I'm going to Londonderry for 3 a week or two. After that, for a few weeks, I will be in that delightful vale known as “Somewhere in Northern Ireland,” and you may know that like the troops I will be on the move much of the time. No dive bomber is going to catch me asleep between showers.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

A STORY IS GOING the rounds out at the P. R. Mallory plant about a certain minor official who set out to prove he could evade the guards and sneak into the plant. It so happens, we hear, that a guard caught him going through a window, threatened to shoot and made him come out with his hands reaching for the sky. Imagine his embarrassment. . Another story circulating here is that about the resident of Golden Hill who was sitting up late at night reading when she suddenly realized she wasn't wear- . ing her expensive new set of false teeth. A little cogitating brought the recollection she had removed them and dropped them in a little drawer in Ayres’ rest room that day. So she hastily dressed and drove down to the store. She banged on the door until she set off the burglar alarm. When one of the janitors responded, she demanded to be. taken to the rest room. The janitor, or maybe it was a guard, refused, but finally agreed to-go upstairs and look in the drawer. He came back gingerly carrying the missing denture. And the relieved owner went on back home—and to bed.

Pssst—Joe Sent Me AT AN EAST SIDE drug store, a customer stepped up to the soda fountain and asked the youth behind

the counter if they had any cokes. Furtively, looking in all directions, the boy whispered out of the corner of this mouth: “Who sent you?” . . . Kurt Vonnegut is telling about the ‘teen-age girl who was in Craig's and was thrilled when she saw a youth in there wearing a handsome uniform with the letters H. M. B. on it. She thought the letters stood for “His Majesty's” something or other—probably a British naval officer. The letdown came when she learned he was one of the Hume-Mansur building elevator operators wearing one of the new uniforms. ... A certain government press agent here interested in \ the tin can collection campaign was embarrassed

the other day to find his own wife wasn’t co-operat-ing in the campaign. In case you've forgotten, too, they're trying to have 3 million cans cleaned and partially flattened by the time the first collection is made here Sunday, Aug. 9.

On the Home Front

REMEMBER THE YARN about the editor who said a dog fight on Main street is worth more than all the wars in Europe? Well, it looks like he’s about right. The boys sold extras like hot cakes for two hours after Monday afternoon’s tragic accident in front of Ayres’. In fact, our circulation manager told us that in those two hours the number of extras sold was only 3800 less than were sold all day long when the U. S. declared war back in December. . . . The first two of the 10 names on the honor roll outside the George J. Mayer (rubber stamp) firm on N. Pennsylvania st. happen to be “Amos” and “Andy.” Not the radio boys, however. . . . A certain young man around town who on occasion imbibes not wisely but too well} got his orders the other day to report for his draft physical exam. And he says somebody had written in the words: “Report sober.” Just a hint, maybe.

Non-Drinkers Can't Help

HARRY REID JR. can’t understand some of the amazing statistics that come out of Washington and elsewhere. For instance, he says, the breweries have been appealing to all patriots to “drink beer in quarts to save caps, which are made of steel, which is badly needed.” Assuming, he continues, that there are 512 caps to the pound, you could build a 7000-ton steel Liberty ship with the saving in beer cap metal by drinking 7 billion, 168 million bottles of beer in quarts instead of pints. The only trouble, he adds, is that the national hangover and attendant confusion which would result wouldn't leave anybody in the frame of mind to build a Liberty ship.” ... The secretary of state’s office was locked up tight for a time yesterday Everybody on the staff was over at the Federal building seeing the - former chief—Jim Tucker—get sworn into the navy.

Raymond Clapper is on vacation.

He will return in about three weeks.

Inferior Planes!

NEW YORK, July 22—One sure thing about censorship is that, whatever the deficiency of American war equipment—land, sea, or air—that deficiency is known to the enemy, and the. only people who don’t know about it are the American people. If Americans knew as much about our planes as the enemy does, the chances are they'd get something done. That's the trouble with censorship; it serves to cover up deficiencies. We have yet to place on the « European front or on the Japanese front one single-seater fighter with performance superior to that of the enemy fighters. The public has been deluged with “super-charged advertising” about our 575 - mile - an - hour fighting "planes (down hill), our better engines and what-not than those of the Japs and the Germans. But still the, Japs and Nazis are running rings around our fighters. The only edge we have in fighting those rats is in our superb and unbeatable American airmen.

Who Ordered This Stuff?

WHO ORDERED, CONTRACTED FOR, paid for and’ delivered this inferior equipment to our fighting men? It's no.hing new. For at least five years I have discussed the deficiency: of American fighting planes in speed and all-around performance,

My Day

ASHEVILLE, N. C. Tuesday.—I reached Asheville, N.:C. yesterday, but I think I will postpone until tomorrow what I have to tell you about the International Student Service Summer institute, as I should like to give a complete picture of what is happening here. I mentioned in one of my columns the state banks of Holland, which make loans on a character basis, and Harry R. Langdon of New York City has written to tell me about the municipal credit union to which 29,000 government employees belong in New York City. Recent changes make it possible to consolidate the loans to these em- - § ployees without any endorsement ot whatever. The interest rate paid to investors has been lowered, and at the same time the interest paid on loans by employees has been de-

creased. bo, present interest rate is the lowest in

Nazi single-seater fighters can out-perform our best single-seater fighters today, and they have since the beginning of the war. They haven't out-per-formed the British Spitfires. The Jap Zeros are out-performing the best shipboard fighters we can send against them. In far tco many instances the same men who are directly responsible for providing these inferior planes are still riding high in Brass Hat circles.

We Need Hard-Boiled Policy

THE TRAGEDY 1S THAT some field leaders will probably eventually get the axe, when the fact is that the field leader is entirely dependent on the equipment furnished him. He pays for others’ mistakes. The failing and the axing will continue until we clean out the army and navy self-perpetuating and rotating oligarchies on the home front. The United States of America, richest country in the world, with practically unlimited raw materials and mass-production facilities unequalled anywhere else, and with the most motor-wise and engineeringly talented people, is sending forth machines inferior in performance to what these measly, despicable Japs and Germans give their fighting men. We only kid ourselves by a lot of streamlined words, unless we boot out those responsibse for the inferior planes supplied to our fighting men. It must be win or get out. The future of our country depends on adopting that hard-boiled policy.

By Eleanor Roosevelt

and in a magazine called “The Bridge,” which is the official publication of the Credit Union National Association, Inc., there is an account of 25 years of service to government employees, Credit unions are growing all over the country, but they do no serve quite the same purpose since they are open only to certain groups of employees. Average citizens without credit unions also need such service. Mr. Langdon also tells me of an interesting project known as the Greater New York Neighborhood Athletic association, which sponsors a physical fitness program among working boys. On Aug. 2, at Randall’s island, they will hold a relay carnival for the

. various district groups throughout the five buroughs

in the city of New York. A program of this kind is of great value to boys who are at work, and cannot afford the kind of athletics which would cost them much money. I think, of course, this same thing should be done also for the girls of the city.

REPORT FIERCE GUERILLA WAR

Secret German Radio Says Himmler Has Increased ‘Black Guard.

By JOHN A. PARRIS United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, July 22.—Private advices said today that one of Gen. Draja Mikhailovitch’s three Jugoslav guerrilla armies had killed 900

occupied several localities on the railway between Mostar and Sarajevo, in southwest Jugoslavia. Gen. Mikhailovitch’s forces were reported to have killed at least 7500 axi§ troops and captured several thousand more in May. Reliable sources said they had fought a major battle and that Hungarian battleships on the Danube had participated. The guerrillas succeeded in disrupting the vital oil traffic on the Danube. His forces, now engaged in actions out of the guerrilla stage, also were reported fo have raided the main railway line between Serbia and Bulgaria, disrupting traffic. In the Kozara mountains, his forces were fighting a big battle with axis troops. Losses were reported heavy on both sides. Axis radios claimed 1100 patriots had been killed. Another of Gen. Mikhailovitch’s armies, engaged in an offensive northwest of Belgrade, was reported to have increased its pressure in the big Fruskagora forests.

Capture War Material

The Jugoslavians captured a large amount of war material, which now will be turned against the axis, from the railway stations of Gradjdina and Brdjani, the private advices said. The axis, proclaiming that “destruction” of the army, claimed it had killed 3500 “rebels,” taken 8000 prisoners and seized large amounts of arms, ammunition and food. Gustav Siegfried Eins, the German underground radio, said that Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler

Nazi S. S. Black Guard to combat a lack of discipline in the German army and growing resistance in occupied territories.

Report S. S. Increase

Radio GSE, supposedly operated by rebellious German officers said the strength of the S. S. was now 750,000 men. Its broadcast was interrupted by shrieks and howls, apparently from Nazi efforts to .jam the channel. Not only would Himmler find the increased strength of the S. S. useful in case of rebellion inside Germany, GSE said; he also needed it because there was-“shirking” in the hinterlands, a lack of discipline among German soldiers at the front and growing resistance in occupied territories. The latest report from the Balkans was that Rumania had joined

‘| Croatia in a plot to separate Bul-

garia from her ally, Hungary. When the time comes, according to an Ankara dispatch, quoting neutral

Slovakia from Hungary and annex Ruthenia; Croatia and parts of Slovenia.

5-Cent Whistle Saves His Life

NEW ORLEANS, July 22 (U. P.).—John Dick, Elizabeth, N. J., seaman, salvaged only one article when the ship on which he served was torpedoed recently, but that was a 5-cent tin whistle which saved his life and that of his shipmate, Stephen Dlugos, Amsterdam, N. Y. The Pelican, magazine published at the coast guard training station, told their story today. DicR and Dlugos were members. of a navy gun crew aboard the torpedoed vessel. Without life jackets they dived off the sinking ship into seas covered with burning oil. Dick’s whistle was on a lanyard around his neck and as the men swam in the darkness he put it in his mouth and blew into it each time he breathed. After swimming for more than four hours and with Dick still blowing into his whistle, a rescue craft traced the intermittent shrilling and picked up both men.

Mr. Roosevelt replied that he would not tell his press confereés, even if he could. Then he announced Leahy’s new job.

But he explained that the person to do that for him had to be someone in whom he had complete confidence. “Save me a lot of work,” the president summed up in six words in explaining Leahy’s new job. ” ” ”

In Navy 49 Years

LEAHY HAS a navy service record of 49 years. He saw active service in the Spanish-American war at the turn of the century, the Philippine insurrection and the Boxer uprising in China that followed, and World War I. Few other men in active service now with the navy can boast of such a record. - Leahy was born in Hampton, Ia., May 6, 1875, and was appointed to the naval academy in 1893. Upon graduation in 1897 he joined the battleship Oregon in the Pacific and was on active duty until 1939. His major work during World War I was transporting troops to France. He was given command of a troop transport and “for distinguished service” was awarded the navy cross. From January, 1937, until August, 1939, he was chief of naval operations. After his retirement from active duty he was called upon twice by Mr. Roosevelt to be his “trou-ble-shooter”—first as governor of Puerto Rico and later as ambassador to France after its fall.

SEN. TAFT ASKS U.S. SALES TAX

Argues Lower Income Levies;

Clark Disagrees.

WASHINGTON, July 22 (U. P.). —Senator Robert A. Taft (R. O.) said today he was “inclined to favor” a sales tax in the new $6,270,900,000 tax bill, contending that adoption would permit reduction of lower bracket income rates. Under the bill approved by the house the individual taxpayer begins paying at the rate of 19 per cent on the first dollar of income above the personal exemption and credit for dependents. That effective rate is a combination of a 6 per cent normal tax and a 13 per cent surtax, compared with an effective rate of 10 per cent at present. Senator Taft said he considered a refnil sales tax the best form. He said he had no rate to suggest, bui contemplated a levy patterned

rafter the Ohio retail sales tax,

which: exempts most food. Asserting that the big increase in income has been among war workers, Mr. Taft contended that a sales tax would reach that group and operate to combat inflation, as a “direct tax on spending.” Senator Bennett C. Clark (D. Mo.), another member of the senate finance committee which begins tax hearings tomorrow, disagreed. “I don’t mean to say that if it were absolutely necessary I would vote against it under all conditions,” Senator lark said, “but I think it is the most unfair "and unscientific tax that could possibly be drawn.

FOOD SUPPLY DWINDLING IN ‘NAZI EUROPE

15 to 20 Per Cent Reduction in German Harvest This Year Predicted.

By DAVID M. NICHOL

Copyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

LONDON, July 22.—A 15 to 20 per cent reduction in Germany's harvest this year is forecast by agricultural experts after a study of information available here. The outlook is still worse for western Europe, Scandinavia and Italy, while the once fertile Danube basin is expected to do little more than meet its own reduced demands. There is both more and loss in the figures than appears on the surface. They do not mean the imminent collapse of Germany's food economy, but do threaten continuance of the decline that began even before the war and has turned sharply downward in the last 12 months.

Expect Worse Shortage

They also are excellent indications of the limits to which Germany’s internal structure has been stretched. There is no elasticity. The failure of any single factor, such as labor, transport or weather, can no longer be compensated, but inevitably means a still further reduced output. Germany's domestic propaganda was noticeably pessimistic about the food situation until Walther Darre’s dismissal as agricultural minister. Since then State Secretary Backe has shaken up the organization, generally turned its more theoretical features back to the Nazi party and warned the Germans that they must expect the severest regulations.

Winter Dealt Hard Blows

“In this the fourth year of war I shall have to make still heavier demands on you than hitherto,” Backe told a Hannover gathering recently. “Last winter dealt us hard blows.” One of these rulings, recently announced, provides for the virtual nationalization of the entire German crop from which the peasant producers are permitted to retain only as much as their ration cards allow. The decree apparently is aimed at preventing peasant hoarding. Weather, always an unpredictable factor, was fighting last winter on the side of the united nations. The Nazi Farmers’ Journal that early frosts destroyed 2,800,000 tons of potatoes and 600,000 tons of grain, enough to feed the entire city of Berlin for four years. Almost 6,000,600 acres had to be replanted this spring.

Basic Rations Reduced

Labor remains the most important factor, however. Despite the number of war prisoners and foreign workers assigned to agriculture, German experts admitted a shortage of 600,000 or 700,000 hands during the spring. The harevst shortage is likely to exceed 1,000,000 workers. Transport difficulties continue to produce localized shortages. A second general reduction in basic food rations was necessary within the reich this spring. Meat and - fat allowances were cut 25 per cent, and the meat ration is now about 10 ounces weekly. Experts are convinced that more decreases Will be required next | winter.
