‘WHERE THERE'S SMOKE . . .’

JNDIANAPOLIS citizens have just about reached the limit of their patience with the local smoke abatement situation. They are tired of breathing soot and .smoke, of wearing soiled linen, of living in homes perpetually begrimed with coal dust, of groping to work in the morning through a pall of murky smog. : For years city administrations have promised improvement. With fanfare, they have passed ordinances, they have launched campaigns, they have set up staffs of experts and inspectors, who by a singular coincidence have turned out to be the faithful who got out the vote on election day. But there has been no improvement. Indianapolis remains just as smoky and just as dirty, or more so. Of course, the city officials have been ready with excuses—politicians always are. The sad state of affairs, which contrasts strangely with rosy campaign promises, is due to the war, to the weather, to the coal shortage, the lower quality of present fuel, increased industrial activity, more railroad traffic, a shortage of competent help. There have been plenty of explanations—but not the one given yesterday by Mayor Tyndall's special smoke abatement committee. ” 8 8 ” s 8 THE TROUBLE with the smoke abatement situation here, the committee members reported, is: “Too much politics.” This committee, serving without pay in a sincere desire to improve conditions in the city, has threatened to resign unless immediate steps are taken to meet the smog situation. Its members charge that their suggestions have “gone unheeded” by city patronage employees and they cite specific instances of inefficiency, neglect and personal exploitation by members of the smoke inspection staff. They also add pointedly that city operated buildings are among the most flagrant violators of the smoke ordinance. An effort was made to smother the committeé’s report —an effort, we believe, both unwise and uncalled for. The smoke situation concerns, and directly affects, every citizen —and every citizen is entitled to know the facts and to judge where the blame for a deplorable condition rests. There is plenty of smoke hereabouts, without adding a smoke screen. 8 » » 2 o 8 IN FAIRNESS, it must be admitted that there is some basis for the explanations given by the city safety board. Competent help is difficult to find, in these times and at the salaries offered for municipal jobs. Admittedly war“time coal is of lower grade and smokier. War demands on industry are heavy and urgent. -But-the special committee knew all this and, in the light of its investigation, it still believes that the chief difficulty is: *“Too much politics.” And its. recommendation is immediate dismissal of the city’s entire smoke inspection staff. The committee is to be congratulated on its courage and its candor, and on the obvious thoroughness with which it has gone into the situation. We hope it gets results. This was Mayor Tyndall's committee. If he had not ‘believed its members to be competent, he would not have appointed them. It has dug into the facts and has given its verdict, and this places the issue squarely before the mayor. He can either stand by his committee or by his appointees on the smoke abatement staff. This is Mayor Tyndall's. opportunity. He can start now to give Indianapolis a clean city by making smoke abatement a fact and not a promise. Smoke and politics, in the past, have mixed all too well. Let’s have less of each.

THE BONUS BILL

$30 billion bonus for veterans of the present war is ‘ proposed in a bill, drafted by five organizations of vet5 erans of previous wars, which has been introduced in both ; branches of congress. The bill would credit service men and women with $3 a day for home service up to a maximum of $3500 each, and $1 a day for overseas service up to $4500, with an extra $500 credit for the wounded. All payments above $300 would be in the form of non-negotiable, tax-free government bonds, not more than one-third .of which could be cashed in the first five years. “I insist,” says Senator Reynolds of North Carolina, one of the bill's senate sponsors, “on the right to vote $30 billions of taxpayers’ money to our boys and girls before it is all given away to other people.” The cost of the bonus, says Rep. Lesinski of Michigan, would be less than the cost of four months of war at the present rate. And that, of course, is one way of looking at it. What a $30 billion addition to the cost of this war might do to the country is another question. 2 = - 8 2 » ’ THE AMERICAN LEGION is not among the organizations backing this bill. The Legion, of course, does not oppose the bonus principle and it is fighting for other benefits for veterans of world war II—<help in returning to civilian life, overcoming physical and educational disabilities, finding jobs. But up to now the Legion has taken the position that the veterans of this war should be allowed to decide for themselves whether they want bonuses, in what amounts, and on what terms. ’ And that, we think, is a right position. It does seem a trifle presumptuous for stay-at-home oldsters to undertake to decide such questions for young men and women not now in a position to speak for themselves, 1 ® & = "5 : s WE HAVE no idea what the 10,000,000 or more veterans who réturn from this war may want. If it's the sort of bonus now proposed, they may get it. But it seems to us possible that they'll be more interested in opportunities to earn their own livings, make their own ways, prosper in‘a country that can start working out of debt instead of going deeper in. We believe congress can serve them best, at this time, by concentrating on measures to. productive jobs ready for them in abundance when

end in 1944. This is supported by ~ Gen. Montgomery. But what these brave and competent generals do gd not assure us is that this victory - will be achieved with a minimum

achievement of American objec- . tives in Europe. That assurance depends on two important changes ’ in the policy of Roosevelt ‘and Churchill. How did we come to be fighting in Europe? We did not go to war when Fascist Germany and Communist Russia joined hands for the invasion of Poland. It became our war when France, “the greatest military power on earth,” collapsed, leaving Britain exposed. 2 It was our business to see that Britain did not fall, that .the Nazis did not get Dakar, that the Nazis did not conquer our Atlantic world. Nazi conquest of the Atlantic world failed when American and British navies. conquered the U-boat, the Russians stopped the Nazis at Stalingrad, and the British hurled them back at El Alamein. Although the Germans are still fighting most formidably, what remains to be decided is not whether they will win but when and how they will surrender, and what kind of Europe we shall have after the war.

Passion Says, 'Crush Germany’

, PASSION SAYS: “Crush Germany so utterly that she can never start another war. That is the only question.” Thought says: “The element in Germany which will still- desire to conquer the world would have its greatest opportunity in a desperate Germany. Our problem is to prevent the communization of Germany and western Europe, to revive and encourage the pre-Marx tradition of freedom of thought in western Europe, and bring all western Europe into our Atlantic world. That world cannot be maintained by the British isles alone. Western Europe is an indispensable part of it. Our chief strategy must be to recover western Europe for free democracy. ‘That is the job for 1044.” To do that job we should: 1. Feed the children of the occupied countries lest they be malformed in body and brain and grow up to be twisted men and women, a prey to communism after the war. 2. Convince the Germans that if they throw out the Nazis and surrender to us, we are eager to take them into partnership in our Atlantic world.

Russia Considers Its Own Interests First

LET US make sure we do not bring about conditions in western Europe which are hostile to British and American civilization. Russia is our militqry ally, and we are grateful. Without the strength of her:arms our Atlantic world might have been overrun by the Nazis. But Russia functions always with first thought to Russian interests. : Britain and America, likewise, have ‘been most valuable military allies of Russia. Had not we won the battle of Britain, the battle of the Atlantic, the battle of North Africa, and the battle of the Southwest Pacific—bloody, heroic and crucial struggles all of them—Russia might not have won the battle of Stalingrad. We owe each other much—our respective lives,“perhaps. As we continue to function as Russia's loyal military ally, let us not be less loyal to our own traditions and objectives. Let us, like Russia, give thought to our own interests and way of life, so that our British-American-West European-Atlantic world of democracy and individual freedom will be strong enough to be an equal partner of Russia in the maintenance of world peace and order.

We Dare Not Trust Force Alone

TO ACCOMPLISH our real objectives in Europe we dare not, as the hour of victory approaches, put our trust in force alone. There are great spiritual forces without which democracy cannot live. Let us feed the children of the occupied countries so that there will.be blood and bone and sinew in the next generation to carry on their forefathers’ tradition of liberty. As we made the ‘Ttalian people our allies against the Germans, let us make the German people our allies against the Nazis. Let us offer hope of redemption to people of the first country of Europe to be forcibly occupied by Hitler and his Nazis—Germany. Let us strengthen our allies behind the lines. Before we drop our paratroopers let us drop ideas that will strike the Nazis a fatal blow from behind. Let us save hundreds of thousands of American lives. Let us save the cause of democracy for which many have already died.

We The People

By Ruth Millett

THE MARRIAGE “experts,” who hand out advice to war brides on how to have a long and happy married life, forget the most important factor, And that is the simple and obvious truth that a woman can’t celebrate a golden wedding anniversary unless she and her husband both live that long. That important fact is highlighted by some recent statistics which show that, in spite of all the divorces we now have, a young man and woman marrying today have twice as good a chance of celebrating their golden wedding anniversary as they would have had 50 years ago.

Public Health Is Improving

AND IT isn’t because of the country’s marriage clinics, college marriage courses, or a better understanding on the part of the average man and woman that is hringing about the change. No, the main reason why today’s brides and grooms have double the chance their grandparents had of being married to the same person for 50 years is due to the advances in medicine and publi health. So, any advice to a bride on how to stay married ought to stress the fact that she must take good care of her own and her husband's health. Theyarmy or navy may be attending to the man’s physical wellbeing now, but the wife or prospective bride should be planning to take over the job and carry it on efficiently.

So They Say—

“TIME HAS COME TO CEASE TALKING” By Rowland Allen, Indianapolis

No man has spoken out at public meetings with more intense feeling and clarity of understanding about the tragic conditions of employment and working conditions in Indiana's institutions than Governor Henry F. Schricker. * For two years the ex-merit board

medieval working conditions of those who worked and cared for our public unfortunates in the state institutions. The governor, on at least two occasions, almost promised to call a special session of the legislature to bring Indiana from near the hottom of the 48 states. Once he made the threat publicly. But what has he done but talk? Surely, it has not been forgotten that it was The Times which was courageous enough to expose this whole sordid disgrace less than two years ago. Then it was that The Times. called publicly upon the Governor to act—and to act quickly in the name of the state’s. decency. But the Governor did not act. Why did he only praise merit publicly and not lift a finger to keep a board that had earnestly and sincerely battled to follow his publicized ideals? That board, which long ago provided the Governor with complete records of what was needed in the institutions, was wiped out of existéhce by a legislative device, obviously with the Governor's tacit blessing. Then, at least, the board was a political liability to him. Or so he thought.

But the time now seems to have come politically for Henry F. Schricker to cease talking so much and do a little acting in behalf of the state institutions. So, perhaps we shall see him parting company for the moment with his political budget-minded, favor-seeking associates in the dark corners of the

statehouse.

wipe out the tragedy which lurks in every one of the state institutions and bring modern science and modern personnel methods to these backward agencies. As the wise, calm Republican sage, the late Will Irwin, told me: “There is no place at all for politics in state institutions.”

8 o 2 “WHO IS THE REPUBLICAN PARTY?” By John E. Richardson, 1945 N. Wallace st. After reading the letter by Mr. Miller in the Forum on Feb. 17, I begin to wonder whether he is

actionary die-hards claim that the people are on to this or that candidate, but they always fail to be specific, a noticeable failing among the so-called “practical politicians” whom Mr. Miller undoubtedly supports wholeheartedly. Just what, Mr, Miller, has Mr. Willkie done that the people are on to? I only know what I read in the papers and would like to be enlightened on the subject as no doubt several other readers of the paper would. Mr. Miller, no . doubt, wholeheartedly supports Mr. Dewey who is a “pet” of the “practical politiclans.” It is an openly admitted fact by the New York State Republican Party - Chairman, Mr. Jaeckle, that Mr. Dewey does not make a speech or pass out patronage without his approval. I only appreciate a Charlie McCarthy act in the amusement fleld. The only way the Republicans can doublecross the people would be to nominate someone who could be domi-

ticians.” Answer just one question, Mr. Miller. Who is the Republican party? Certainly not Joe Pew and his followers. God help us if they are. For me it is time we threw the “practical politicians” out and elected someone who will listen to the real owners of the Republican party, namely the people who do the voting and pay the taxes to support the government and the privileges derived from living in a society of republican government.

gamble their money away and never think a thing about it. You write of blood money. I don't like the purpose behind these high wages any more than you do. Who doesn’t want their boys back home? I have relatives in the armed forces, no sons for I am not quite old enough for that; but I do have a husband who may be gone in June, and I think just as much of him as you do your son. You write of war prosperity. Why, W. E. H., anyone knows prosperity began the first four years Roosevelt was in. My husband was making good money before the war broke out here in the states. 5 Yes sir, I know of a lot of people that were brought out of the gutter as soon as Roosevelt went in office. He at least gave people back their self-respect. He gave them something to do to earn their food instead of standing in soup lines begging for it. You have the wrong opinion of me. I want the peaceful days back again, too; and I pray every night for the war to end and bring our boys safely home to us.

bonds also. It is the patriotic duty of everyone to buy bonds and keep on buying more bonds. And to E. L. Mobley, I realize very much the objections some people are making to Mrs. Roosevelt using precious gas and numerous other things. But, do you realize it is people like Mrs. Roosevelt and Bob Hope and a lot of others that are keeping our boys’ morale up over there? - ” n “WAR NEVER SETTLED A THING” By Arthur 8. Mellinger, R.

I want to answer your bet, pis. Jean Cheek; I have two sons in the Seabees over in the thick of what is going on.” Also, those boys did not have to be drafted; they left their jobs to do their bit. When they left I pledged that they would have a father back home fighting on the home front to preserve something for them to come back to. Listen, sister, you are using the word “patriotic” very loosely. So you are going to judge my patriotism by your standard. All right, you threw down the challenge; I take it up when you question my patriotism. When the war broke out I offered a certain patent to the government with my services. They did not accept. You see, my idea would save mohey and manpower, but this gang in Washington was interested in only the theory of waste, A couple of years ago in a letter to the papers I said this war will not be won by waste, and I repeat the same thing. The war is not as near over as a lot of wishful thinkers would have it. .. . Mankind is going to reap the folly of this war. " War never settled a thing. War is a destroyer. Oh, sure the big shots say what a wonderful world we are going to live in after the war, but that debt will be sweat out in the fields and over washtubs, and not sitting in a parlor pushing buttons. » . o

I read Ernie Pylg’s suggestion recently, and I, too, think that our fighting men, those actually fighting, should be given a so-called “fight pay.” Why should the fellows who push pencils behind the lines get all the highest ratings and the same pay as our men who risk their lives every day for us.

Notes and Vv ofes

By James Thrasher =~

WASHINGTON, March 9.--If . someone hadn't. borrowed the office copy of Bartlett's “Familiar Quotations,” we could probably - remark of the man who didn't ‘care who wrote the nation’s laws so long as he could write the nation’s songs. But maybe we don’t need Bartlett, after all, for the quotation is beginning to sound a little dated. - Present

there 1s no need for deciding between song and statute. If you pick your spots and play your cards right, you can have both. r : Take Jimmie Davis, who won the Democratic

‘nomination for governor of Louisiana. Except for

the token resistance of a Re candidate in November, Jimmie is in. And how did he get there? By a campaign that included much hill-billy music and little oratory, and that as homespun as the music, Jimmie, as you probably know, is-a composer with

trends seem to indicate that

many a corn-fed opus to his credit.” His muse has

ranged from that ocom-pah love lyric called “You Are My Sunshine,” to a rather more earthly madrigal titled “Bed Bug Blues.”

| Tennessee Troubadour Urged to Run

ANOTHER RUSTIC troubadour with political possibilities is Roy Acuff, whose friends are urging him to run for governor of Tennessee. For tue handful of esthetes who never Qead of Roy, he’s on the Grand Ole Opry broadcast from Nashville every Saturday night. And the countrywide a of faithful who would rather miss the Saturday bath than the Saturday broadcast can be counted in the

Then there was Senator W. Lee O’Daniel, who sailed into the Texas governor's mansion on wings of song, convoyed by a fiddle, a git-tar and a jug bass. His “Pass the Biscuits, Pappy” became as famous a culinary campaign slogan as Mr. Hoover's two chickens in every pot—and decidedly rfore successful.

Wusicians in government are not new, of course.

Nero gave a fabled performance during the big fire of 64 A.D. Henry VIII was a composer; so was Frederick the Great, and a flute player besides. But the nasal minstrelsy of the hill-billy strikes a different note. Music has changed from a pastime to a potent votegetter.

Show-Down on the Hoe-Down

AND WHAT makes it potent? Well, for one thing, it speaks to Mr. Wallace's common man in a. language that he knows. Any candidate can campaign in a denim shirt, and loudly proclaim himself a man of the people. That's old stuff. But if a

political aspirant can give out with “Wabash Can-.

nonball” or “Pistol Packin' Mamma” in the approved

.manner, he becomes as one with the rural electorale.

There are probably other reasons, too, and we should advise the string-pullers of our major to look into them carefully. The Republicans, for instance, have in Thomas E.- Dewey a man who originally came east from Owosso, Mich. not to be governor of New York, but to study singing. > If they sficceed in nominating the reluctant baritone, they should insist that he brush up on his rustic repertory.

sign by Andy Higgins was available—without testing it and e though after it had been proved . unseaworthy, are now revealed in full and for the first time in the third annual report of the senate Truman committee investigating the war effort. Two hundred and twenty-five of the bureau-designed lighters were actually built and orders for 1100 more were actually placed. Fortunately construction was stopped on 1000 of them before it was too late. But the mistake cost the taxpayers $7,« 000,000 and a full year's delay in getting started on construction of tank lighters and small landing craft of sound design—essential in Pacific island-hopping and in the forthcoming invasion of Europe. The Truman committee investigated this situation in the summer of 1942, and on Aug. 5 filed a report with Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. Next day, the secretary asked that the report be withheld in the public interest. He later asked Chairman David I. Walsh of the senate naval affairs committee to make a separate investigation but when that invitation was declined, Knox asked Prof. H. 8. Seward of Yale to make the investigation.

Navy Defended by Seward

PROFESSOR SEWARD reported in November partially whitewashing the navy but recommending reorganization of the bureau of ships in which there were “rifts and chasms between the factions” and “peacetime slow-going procedure.” The Truman report, now released because the committee considers there is “no possibility that its contents would be useful to the enemy,” takes sharp issue with Seward's finding “that: boat-huilder Andrew J. Higgins of New Orleans was ignored in the original tank lighter program only “due to inadvertence.” In the spring of 1941, the navy had two tank lighter models to choose from, and though the Forces Afloat expressed preference for the Higgins design when the bureau of ships on Aug. 15, 1941, advertised for bids for the construction of 131 47-foot lighters, they specified the bureau design developed in 1939. Higgins protested, had to underbid competitors to get a contract for the first 10 and test the first one in April 1942 to show that it was unsatisfactory, even in calm water. The contract was only then modified for construction of the remaining nine of the original order as 50-foot Higgins models.

A

In the meantime, the navy had designed another |

50-foot model of its own, ordered 25 from a Massachusetts yard without a pilot model or tests. On April 4, 1942, there was a White House conference at which the bureau of ships was instructed to provide 600 50-foot lighters by Sept. 1. To make sure of getting

‘the 600, the bureau ordered 1100—of its own design!

Orders were placed April 22.

Higgins Model Seaworthy

ON MAY 9, 10 and 12, 1942, the first of the navy's 50-footers was tested at Philadelphia. It maneuvered forward all right, but was unsatisfactory in reverse. Finally, on May 25, 1942, this pilot model and a Higgins rhodel were tested at Norfolk, each bearing a 30-ton tank in an 18 to 23-mile wind. Says a report, “The bureau tank lighter shipped so much water... that it was forced to turn back for fear of foundering. The Higgins lighter successfully reached Fort Story and disgorged the 30-ton tank on the beach.”

a—

Although Rear Adm. OC. A. Jones said there had been no danger of capsizing and Cmdr. R. B. Dag- |

gett, chief of the contract design section in “the bureau of ships, would not admit that the bureau
