Hoosier Vagabond

SOMEWHERE IN NO THERN IRELAND, Aug. 8. —Recently I stayed with a bunch of troops who were living in the ancient stal les of a huge old country estate. The stables themselves are immense, forming alSome of the boys sleep in the stalls once used by horses. Here the floor is concrete, and each stall is partitioned, and the boys are very comfortable. Most of them, however, live in the big, bare rooms that form the second stories of the tool houses and carriage houses. The buildings are stone, and the floors are wooden and very old. These various second-story rooms hold from a dozen to 50 men each. "Their cots are close together. There is a small round coalstove in the center of each room that gives off plenty of heat. There is no ceiling except the rafters and the shingles above. When it’s raining, which it is most of the time, the raindrops beat a lullaby which would force anybody to sleep. The rooms are lighted by a few unshaded bulbs strung on the main beam overhead. The wiring is crude and temporary. Thijs camp is made up mosily of boys from Midwestern farms and small towns. They are a grand bunch, easy to get acquainted with.

When It's Time for Action - -

I WAS SURPRISED to find that the boys liked living at this place, even though it’s more primitive than any camp I've been in. They do have good washing facilities, with taps running into long vats, but there is no way to take a bath. They get baths only by walking a mile and a

# half to another camp. The result is they don’t bathe any too frequently.

I was with them when this same camp had an air-raid drill. It was just after breakfast. The day was black and miserable. I was walking with a young

. red-headed lieutenant named Virgil Brown, from Mason City, Ia. Suddenly he stopped and yelled “enemy planes.” The men were taken by surprise, but you should have seen them get into action. Within a couple of seconds an enlisted man was cranking away at the air-raid alarm—an old gong that found on the place and fixed up with a chain nd a home-made crank. The procedure at this plage in an air-raid alarm is mainly to clear the trucks and armored cars out of the lot where they have been parked for the night, in order to get the mobile guns into action immediately against the raiders, and to hide and disperse all equipment that is not fighting. : The parking lot happens to be a patio, completely surrounded by buildings. The only exit is through one narrow arch. Immediately, when the alarm" sounded, there was such a headlong charging about that I had to stand real still or get run over.

Yes, These Are Our Soldiers ce

DRIVERS LEAPED TO steering wheels. Other men threw guns and ammunition into trucks. Firefighters came running with their equipment. Even the cooks~dashed from the galley and took their assigned places. The little peeps were first out. By the time the last peep was out the trucks were armed and ready to roll. There was never a second’s delay. The entire big lot was cleared in one minute and 50 seconds. I stood just outside the arch, peeking back to see the trucks come roaring out. I knew every one of the drivers—I had sat on their bunks ahd laughed with them the night before, and had seen them relaxed and at ease. But that morning you wouldn't have known they were the same men. Even though it was only a drill, their faces were rigid, their eyes dead ahead. They were as intense as race drivers on the track. Their faces almost haunted me. They look the way they will look when on some future day they will do the same thing in France and it will be real.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

PROFILE OF THE WEEK: Arthur Rayburn Baxter, businessman, gentleman farmer, civic leader, philanthropist, and claimant to the title of the town’s number one grandfather. (He has eight.) Arthur Baxter is head of the Keyless Lock Co., which makes postoffice equipment; one of the state’s few 33d degree Masons, a one-time state senator, the donor of the Scottish Rite cathedral cariilons, and right now he’s busy as president of our United War Fund drive. At 65, he’s an energetic, restless

doing nothing. Rather heavy © (about 5 feet, 9, and 175 or 180 pounds), he has a full face, double chin, gray hair, is partly bald, wears glasses and has a brisk walk. He's direct and outspoken, likes to “run the ranch,” yet is considerdte of others. He plans everything way ahead, insists on organization and likes , things in writing. Hes a stickler for promptness, means 2:28 when he says 2:28.

Peddled Books as Youth

BORN HERE, he spent his youth in Washington, D. C., where his father was in the dry goods business. In his youth he peddled books from door to door in At 22, he

came here to become associated with the Keyless Lock Co, then owned by his uncle, Arthur Jordan. Mr. Baxter acquired the company in 1927. In the summer he spends his week-ends at Lake Maxinkuckee where he indulges in his two favorite forms of relaxation—golf and bridge. As soon as

\ dinner is over, he starts rounding up the family for a

bridge game, often puts up a dollar as a prize. And

he frequently wins it back. There's a golf links right back of his summer home and he never bothers to walk to the first tee—a hundred yards or so away. He just drops the ball right beside his door and whams it. The first hole usually is his best, ‘too. Here, he plays at Meridian Hills several afternoons a week, shoots anywhere from 86 to muybe 100.

Washington

WASHINGTON, Aug, 8—Grim developments in India now are flavored with the same air of unreality which I felt while there last spring. At that time Japanese forces were striking inside the Bay of Bengal. They had shattered a convoy just outside of Calucutta, bombed Ceylon, and seized air bases along the Burma coast of the Bay of Bengal. Yet all of that seemed to leave the people curiously unaffected. Political bickering continued. In Calcutta, one noted it by the complete | absence of British officers from the dining room of the Great Eastern hotel, by the hasty work of the Chinese National Airways in moving operations out of Calcutta to a point farther north,

* and by the quiet effort of American officials to get

American civilians out of the country. ? Yet at the very moment when American flying fortresses were going after Japanese naval forces in the Bay of Bengal, one Calcutta newspaper carried a

sarcastit editorial complaining about the “busybodies -

from America,” whe were arriving to help defend India from the Japs. It was the most depressing experience of a long trip more than halfway around the world through its darkest backyards.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Friday.—The sun shone yesterday and the weather has certainly been kind, because it « has not been oppressively warm either yesterday or today. I went with Queen Wilhelmina to the cdpitol and sat in the gallery to listen to her as she addressed those members of the senate and the house who were in session and some of their friends and relatives. + Then we drove to the navy yard. The papers have told you of the ceremony as the United States turned over an American subchaser to Queen Wilhelmina. A lump came in my throat when I saw this kindly faced woman go aboard to greet, not only her offi-

Movies Must Be Comedies

HE LIKES NICE cars, has several Cadillacs. His taste in cars runs to bright colors, convertibles, and he likes to drive them himself. Owner of four or five large farms in the northern part of the state, he enjoys driving up and inspecting them but leaves their operation to the tenants. Just for something to do, he takes in a ball game now and then; enjoys an occasional movie, providing it’s a comedy; attends the Central Avenue Methodist church regularly except when he’s at the lake; likes big family gatherings and promotes them at every opportunity. Fond of good music, he frequently plays his automatic electric organ and his Capehart record player at home. He listens to the radio quite a bit, seldom misses the Hour of Charm, and used to be a regular Amos and Andy fan. , He's always neatly dressed—all but his ties—some of which are pretty wild and usually askew. He's never mastered the art of tying them. Before he leaves home, some member of the family usually grabs him and straightens his tie. ;

Tries to Quit Cigars.

HE SMOKES CIGARS, tries to quit occasionally, but it’s rumored the family slyly encourages him to resume because it makes him grouchy. He worries about his waistline, but doesn’t let it interfere with his enjoyment of food—rich desserts, particularly. Just to be sure things are sweet enough, he carries a little bottle of sugar with him. Sometimes he forgets it, and then, at lunch, he’s likely to beg or borrow a bit of sugar from one of his fellow diners. He has three sons—Norman, who is in the lqck company; Emory and Fred who are in the army—and one daughter. She is Mrs. Delight Fifer, youngest of the four. (Camp Delight is his gift to the Camp Fire Girls.) One of the stories they tell about Mr. Baxter is that after the birth of his three boys, he very much wanted a daughter. They lived in Woodruff Place then. When the news came that at last he had a daughter, the proud father raised the window and shouted for all the world to hear: “It’s a girl.”

as a base they will menace the whole Middle East. Nehru sees it. He was saying then that those who helped to win their freedom with the help of an invader were living in a fool's paradise. But this Hamlet of the east is unable to muster tlre strength of

will to carry out his convictions. If he had the nerve

to do it, he could split the congress party and prevent this headlong act of treason to the allied cause that Gandhi threatens. Yet when I saw Nehru at Allahabad, he sipped at his little saucer of honey and said blandly that the Congress party couldn't afford to have a division within its ranks.

It’s Like a Bad Dream

THE HEIGHT OF the unreality that marks this whole business in India is Gandhi's statement that if India got her freedom the first thing he would do would be to go to Tokyo to .negotiate with the Japanese to free China. Many British people have long recognized that Britain’s course in India has been unwise and studded with blunders. Democratic victory will bring a change. Japanese victory will only impose on the weak, poorly developed country and its pitifully undernourished and diseased population a more brutal master than India has ever known. Japan wants India’s coal and iron, to develop the industry she badly needs. She wants to control India’s textile industry, which threatens her own. She wants to use India as an enormous slave garden from whose bases she can control the whole eastern world. Is Gandhi oblivious to this crushing reality? Or is he willing to risk inviting it while trying to wring a phantom immediate independence out of Britain with the blackjack of civil disobedience? . It's all as weird as a bad dream.

We lunched and chatted and landed immediately on arrival and the usual ceremony took place at George Washington's tomb. There was time only for a brief glance at the house and then we drove to the national ‘cemetery in nearby Arlington, Va. to lay a wreath on the tomb of the unknown soldier. The ceremony seemed to me even more poignant than usual. The bugler sounded taps and as the notes floated over the valley below, everyone thought of the new “unknown soldiers” all over the world today.

MILLIONS SENT NAZI COLONIES

Germans to Be Masters; Dutch and Ukranian Blood to Be Mixed.

By LELAND STOWE

MOSCOW, Aug. 8—Even while their armies are invading the north Caucasus, the Nazi champions of tHe “master race” philosophy are pushing the first stages of an elaborate scheme to “colonize” Germanoccupied Russia. Under a new plan worked out by Dr. Alfred Rosenberg, Hitler's minister of occupied Soviet. territories, the extremely rich wheatlands of

tural districts of- White Russia will be parceled out to several million Germans, handpicked by the Nazis, while Russian peasants, transferred in masses from one section to another, wilt become serfs of Teu-tonic-Aryan farm administrators, managers and foremen. In order to prohibit the Russians existence in racial and linguistic units, Dr. Rosenberg’s program calls for the scientific mixing up of the Ukrainian and White Russian populations, with national groups imported from western Europe as well as Germany. This is the beginning of the application of Hitler's “new order” to German-occupied western Russia, and the Dutch have been selected for the first experiment.

Special Company Formed

Dr. Rosenberg’s “German colonizers” recently created a special colonizing organization, called “the eastern company,” at The Hague.

of Dutch into sections of White Russia and the Ukraine, and is described by the Nazi press as an opportunity for the Dutch to get compensation for their losses in the Netherlands East Indies. According to Red Star, Soviet army organ, the master-racers actually have the goal of transplanting up to 3,000,000 out of Holland’s 9,000,000 of population in order to replace them with as many millions of Germans in

conditions will permit. The Nazis’ plan to subjugate the Dutch permanently is said to have several aspects. The primary one is to “Germanize” Holland to such a degree that if the Nazis win the war, the Netherlands can be annexed into greater Germany and its national identify destroyed. To do this the Nazis will be compelled to get rid of a big proportion of Dutch inhabitants—hence the scheme of dumping them on farmlands of Russia.

60,000 Shipped East

At the end of July the Nazis, as is already known, rounded up 60,000 Jews in Amsterdam and shipped them to the east, supposedly to concentration camps in Poland. There. is every reason to believe, however, that the Nazis are merely beginning the “purification” of all Holland, in which they would export all Dutch Jews, distribute them among Russia’s farmlands, and force them to till the soil under the Nazis’ handpicked Nordic overseers —Simon Legrees of the new order. Dr. Rosenberg’s scheme for reshuffling Europe's population, as now applied in its earliest phase to Holland, has a triple aim: (1) To facilitate the Nazis’ colon-

and speed up food production in the Ukraine by big, carefully distributed groups of capable Dutch farmers. (2) To weaken Holland’s patriotic resistance by burying the most nationalistic Dutch citizens in the Russian hinterland. (3) To reduce Holland itself to the status of a semi-Germanized province.

Might Work in Jugoslavia

& Vv This same scheme might later be applied to Serbian and Greek patriots and ‘the Nazis thereby would transiorm the vast agricultural steppes of western Russia into concentrationn camps of forced labor on a permanent basis. Dr. Hans Frank, Hitler's boss in Poland, recently declared that the new order's full victory required the establishment of “close collaboration between the western and eastern areas of the new German empire.” Dr. Rosenberg’s mass colonization scheme reveals the methods whereby this collaboration is expected to be established.

Skilled Labor Moved Out

The Nazis have depleted the occupied Russian territories of all skilled laborers. They have shipped them to Germany where they are scattered -and isolated in small groups, forced to work without pay under special overseers. But the great majority. of the 40,000,000 Russians in the occupied territories could not provide skilled labor. Instead, the populations of entire villages or districts have been transplanted to rrevent them from aiding in guerrilla warfare against the conquerors. It is reported that Dr: Rosenberg has peculiar means of recreating the German Baltic barons of feudal times, simply by offering the members of S. S. troops (Hitler's blackguards) special preference for land holdings in the richest Russian agricultural regions. S. S. men are also being picked for “master” positions as farm directors, organizers and foremen who would reap the lion’s profits from the labors of Russians, Dutch, Jewish or nonparty German farm workers in the

Cultured Recluse, Blind Brother Found in N. Y. C.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (U. P.)— Langley Collyer, elderly recluse who since 1909 has lived unseen in an old, barred and shuttered mansion with his now blind and paralyzed brother, emerged today from the legends—just a soft-spoken old gentleman with a liking for privacy. The Collyer brothers, Langley dnd Homer, whose ancestors came over on the Speedwell, the No. 2 Mayflower, were about to be evicted from the house, described by neighbors as definitely haunted, for nonpayment of an ancient mortgage. The mystery was half-solved Wednesday night by a New York Herald Tribune reporter, Herbert Clyde Lewis, who was sitting on the front steps of the ramshackle mansion. He heard a creaking of shutters and Langley Collyer appeared, Yesterday he walked 16 iniles to see a lawyer, who persuaded the bank to give the Collyers 10 days or two weeks to attempt to buy back the house. Mr. Lewis told him a bank had foreclosed on the house and intended to evict him and his brother next week. It was the first Mr. Collyer had heard of it. He was wearing old shoes, rumpled trousers, a seedy jacket, an old-fashioned celluloid collar and a black bow tie. He had a mustache, wore a boating cap at least 30 years old, . Perfectly at ease, Mr. Collyer chatted in a low, polite, cultivated voice. Walking toward a bakery to buy

some buns for his brother, he re-

vealed that he was interested in medicine, music, machinery, physics and radio. He said -his brother was listening to the radio, “ . . an old crystal set. I made it. Radio interests me. I have also made several sets that work on storage batteries.” His brother appeared to be his chief concern. “But his health is improving,” he said. He said they weren't "bothered by the lack of gas, which was cut off in 1928, and by the. lack of a telephone. He had put together. the parts of an old automobile motor so it would generate electricity, but used kerosene for cooking and lighting. It was easier. Vandals have broken the windows of the house, and he has boarded them up. But Mr. Collyer said the perpetual gloom wasn’t annoying; he rather liked it and his brother didn’t need light. Mr. Lewis asked him whether he would like to see the Herald-Trib-une building. -Mr. Collyer said he would and spent several hours inside, discussing photography, typesetting and printing. Having forgotten about-the buns, Mr. Lewis took him home in a taxi He apologized for not being able to invite Mr. Lewis in. “Forgive me, but I can’t invite you in,” he said. “The house is too upset. All those thousands of news-. papers and those pianos ...” He said he was saving newspapers so his brother could catch up with the news when he recovered his sight. *

Cleveland Man Boycotts Light Firm for 13 Years

CLEVELAND, Aug. 8 (U. P)— Alois Krzic, who has boycotted a Cleveland electric light company for 13 years because his current was turned off over an unpaid bill, declared today that getting along without electricity was “easy.” “As far as I'm concerned, they can stop producing the stuff,” said Mr. Krzic, who can neither forgive nor forget the shutting off of his electricity in 1929 when he owed a bill of $3.44 and was unable to pay it. “I told them I'd never buy a single kilowatt again,” Mr. Krzic recalled, “and I didn’t, either.” “Every now and then the company sends a man out to try to get us to use electri¢ity again,” he chuckles, “but I tell them what I think of them. “We never even missed it. Gas

lamps give us all the light we need.

I got my wife a gasoline washing machine and she wouldn’t trade it for an electric one. We don’t need 2 refrigerator because we keep our food cool in the basement.” Radio poses no problem for Mr. Krzic and his family. A crystal set with earphones keeps them tuned to the world’s crooners and commentators. “We had one that worked with batteries, too, but I like the crystal set better,” the practical Mr. Krzic explained. “It’s cheaper.” Mr. Krzic said it was no inconvenience to be without a telephone because his family “wouldn't need one once in 10 year$ anyway.” . “We even have a workshop my two sons built in the basement,” he boasted. “Alex rigged up a power saw and Edward furnishes the juice by pedalling a bicycle. They turn out some mighty fine work.”
