Huge Spectacle

Visions Mr. Gepenar resumed “the con- * versation: | “It's going to be a big parade,” he commented, flicking the ashes ‘off his cigar. “There’ll be seven divisions and 35,000 marchers in it,” he said, counting them off on his Lfingers. A knock spunded cn the door and a man poked his head in. “Come in,” Mr. Capehart greeted The man, one of the" engineers with Mr. Capehart’s company, walked across the room carrying a huge drawing of the downtown city streets. “Oh, yes,” Mr. Capehart said. “Now let’s see.” It was a plan for the line of march in the navy parade. Mr. Capehart glanced at it carefully, made a few changes and returned it to the engineer.

. Stickler for Details

“That ought to make it clear,” he said. {Mr. Capehart.says there are three important things to observe in organizing an event. “Pay close attention to details, blueprint them dnd select the best men for the job,” he advises. “Organize things as though they are going to be a permanent setup.” Accuracy is very important, too, in this organization business. For ihstance, he spent yesterday morning with one of his engineers in| Brookside park, measuring a platform that will. be 1 used. as the 1éviewing stand in the le ; “I wanted to make sure. it would hold all the men that are supposed "10 be on it,” he said.

The biggest job that Homer Capehart ever undertook was the Wendell Willkie acceptance day celebration in Elwood." The state still talks about how smoothly things went off. And it was the way he handled the famous Republican cornfield conference on his farm in Daviess county four years ago that made him a natural choice for the Willkie day job. “Mr. Capehart did his first job of organization when he was 22.

OWI GOT BRUSH-OFF

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U. P.) — Rear Admiral Emory S. Land’s speech attacking “organizers” was not submitted to the office of war information for clearance as required by a presidential executive order. OWI Director Elmer Davis said he had informed Land that the order calls for clearance of speeches of all policy-making - officials, and asked him to comply with it in the future. He added that the note was' “routine” and ‘had been sent in “other cases.” t Land’s speech was bitterly attacked by labor officials. - He later] said. it was a misinterpretation. to infer that he meant labor or ‘inion organizers when. he said “organizers” should ‘be “shot at sunrise” for the’ duration. President Philip Murray of the! C. I. O. asked President Roosevelt to dismiss Land from the chairmanship of the maritime commission.
