Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

EVELYN FRANCIS, a secretary in the school board offices, wished to send a gift to a boy friend in the navy, so she went to one of the stores and bought a nice navy kit. She didn't examine its contents too closely, but just mailed it. That was several weeks 3 ago. Several days ago she rea ceived a letter from the boy friend. He thanked her and said some of the articles, such as toothbrush, etc, were fine, but that he wasn't sure what to do with some of the others, such as powder and powder puff, bathing cap, etc. Seems ‘she had sent him a kit intended for WAVES. . . . Evan Miller, assistant manager of the Indianapolis Athletic club, was inducted into the navy Saturday. ... Tom Blackwell, the lawyer, put on his new naval uniform yesterday to get accustomed to it before reporting soon for duty as a lieutenant (j.g.). At first, he tried returning salutes from passing enlisted men, but his arm wore out, and he had to stop and look in store windows to rest it. , . . The OPA gets blamed for everything, it seems. The mail at state OPA headquarters last week included two income tax returns, one accompanied by a bank cashier's check. The returns were sent on over to Will Smith at the federal building. . . . One of our agents reports that the vaudeville acts at Keith's were interrupted several times Saturday night in order to announce the basketball results, And no one in the audience objected, either, _

Embarrassing Moment

CHET HARRISON, who writes for the mystery and western magazines under the name, C. William Harrison, was looking over the magazine rack in a drug store Saturday when he saw his name on the cover of one of the magazines, He bought it and looked at the story. Although he was listed as the author, he never had seen the story before. Farther back in the magazine he recognized one of his stories with someone else listed as the author. He called his friend and fellow magazine writer, Lee E. Wells, and told him of the mixup. Indignantly, he remarked:

WASHINGTON, March 21.—The Soviet army has crossed the Bessarabian border. Rumania's Prince Stirbey, in Turkey seeking an armistice from the allies, is said to have received seven-point terms. Dictator Antonescu is supposed to have returned to Bucharest from a session with Hitler. The British government broadcast is warning Rumanians to get out of the war before it is too late. The allies are bombing Vienna and Sofia, and are sending more help to Marshal Tito in Jugoslavia. Hungary and Bulgaria, as well. as Rumania, are putting out peace feelers. From all this it is easy to add up a speedy allied victory—too easy. It is true that the Balkans are the weakest part of the axis’ European fortress, and that.a crack there would hasten Hitler's defeat by many months. But, despite the surface signs, there is no proof yet that the military crack is serious. Nor is there evidence that the allies are yet strong enough. in that area to take fulladvantage of such an opportunity if it opens soon.

Balkan Drive Improbable

A MAJOR allied offensive in the Balkans this spring is improbable. The Russian offensive in the mud of the lower Ukraine during the past fortnight is probably the most brilliant army operation of the war to date. It has regained a vast area, including vital rail lines; it has taken toll in German killed and captured and in enemy material. But quick conquest of Rumania may not follow. So far the Germans have managed to save most of their men and supplies, and they may be able to rally on the Dniester or the Prut line. The Soviet army eventually must

My Day

SOMEWHERE IN SOUTH AMERICA, Monday.— On the second evening in Natal, I was hostess to the Brazilian officials and army and navy officers at dinner at the army guest house. After dinner we visited the Red Cross recieation room where there was a singsong going on, T. Sgt. Lew Kerners, who has been master of - ceremonies at many posts and is just back from Ascension island, did a wonderful job of amusing the boys and making them sing wholeheartedly. A Red Cross girl with some selected boys led the singing. ‘The band made up of service men was good, and I enjoyed the singing and the playing here. : Sa : As in every other place where ii ~~ groups of men were gathered, I ve them a short message from their commander-in-chief.

Bob took out a dirty handkerchief, spit on it two or three times, then washed the blood-off my face before putting on the iodine, which=could hardly be called the last word in sterilization. Three of the other boys were rushed off to the tent hospital. After an hour or so, five of us drove out to the hospital in a jeep to see how they were. ‘ We found thegn not in bad shape, and then we sat around a stove in one of the tents and drank coffee and talked with some of the officers. By now my head and ears had started to ache from the concussion blasts, and several of the others were feeling the same, so the doctors gave us codeine and aspirin, '

Felt Fine After All Was Over MUCH TO MY surprise, I wasn't weak or shaky after it was all over. In fact I felt fine—partly buoyed up by elation over still being alive, I suppose. But by noon I was starting to get jumpy. and by midafternoon I felt very old and “beat up,” as they say, and the passage of the afternoon shells over our house really gave me the woolies. We got Italian workmen in to clean up the debris, and by evening all the rooms had been cleared, shaky walls knocked down, gnd blankets hung at the windows for blackout. All except my room. It was so bad they decided it wasn’t worth cleaning up, so we dug out my sleeping bag, gathered up my scattered stuff, and I moved to another room. The hospital has invited Wick Fowler and me to move out with them, saying they'd put up a tent fur us, and I wouldn't be surprised if we took them up on it. There's such a thing as pressing your luck too far in one spot.

In case you're wondering what ever happened to the marshmallow supply, we think we know the answer. We asked a candy man the other day and he explained it thusly: Back before sugar rationing, the marshmallow market was highly competitive, with the manufacturers selling them close to cost—sometimes below. So when rationing came, the manufacturers quit making such items and concentrated on the more profitable ones.

“SECOND SECTION

SIGNALS HOT

Temperature for Season “Averages Above Normal At 33.3 Degrees.

terday on the tail of a sleet and snow storm, Indianapolis residents have just lived through one of the warmest winters on record and chances are the “warm wave” will carry over into a hot summer, Figures reported by the local weather bureau today show that for the past two decades Indianapolis has been keeping up with the nation in milder winters and hotter summers. Based on the months of December, January and February, the average temperature this past winter was 33.3 degrees, about two and onehalf degrees above a 70-year average temperature of 30.7 degrees.

18 Years Above Normal

Since 1919 Indianapolis winters have been outstandingly warm, according to R. M. Williamson, local meteorologist. The average winter temperature for 18 of those years has been above normal, whilé only seven sank below the average. The average summer temperature since 1890 has been 74.2, but since 1929 the summer temperatures have soared above that. Last summer the average was 77.2 degrees; in 1942, it was 75.3 degrees, and in 1941, it was 76.1 degrees. However, that the weather remains as unpredictable as ever is shown by the fact that back in 1890 Indianapolis had its warmest winter with an average temperature

other Balkan invasion roads. The allies’ failure to bring Turkey into the war, and their inability to hold the Aegean islands, leaves Hitler in undisputed control of the south gateway to the Balkans, the Vardar valley. A large allied invasion of Jugoslavia from the Adriatic is the least practicable of all the routes because of the terrain and supply problems. The tempo of allied advance in southern Italy does not promise a quick opening of the northern Italian door to the Balkans.

“Weary of War

ON THE political side, unquestionably ‘Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary are anxious to get out of the war. But there is tliat matter of Nazi occupation, with the gestapo in control. Even if all the Balkans and Danubian governments pulled a Badoglio on Hitler tomorrow and signed an armistice, we would still have the problem of driving out the Germans—the same problem we have in Italy after many months of hard fighting. This does not mean that current Balkan developments are insignificant they are very important—not because Hitler's south wall is about to fall, but because he must use more of his waning strength to prop it up. : The great value of the Russian advance to the Dniester, of Tito’s campaign in Jugslavia, and of the allies’ Italian front is that they tie down Nazi troops, guns and planes desperately needed by Hitler to stop the coming Russian drive on Warsaw and Eisenhower's western invasion. That, plus the psychological effect of Balkan tension in weakening axis morale throughout Europe. All of which is exceedingly hopeful, even though we cannot count on quick victory.

CHARGES FRAUD IN IRWIN CASE

Philanthropist’s = Attorney Opposes Continuance of Inheritance Trial.

Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind, March 21.— The action of Mrs. Zula Schuder of Indianapolis, who claims to have been the common-law wife of William G. Irwin, Columbus businessman and philanthropist, was charged with being “tainted with perjury, defamation and crime,” by Frank M. McHale, attorney for the Irwin estate, in Bartholomew county circuit court Monday. Arguing against a continuance of the trial which was scheduled to open yesterday, McHale urged that it proceed without delay in order to clear Mr. Irwin's name “from this fraudulent and fictitious attack.” “We propose to show this court, the community, the state and the nation that William G. Irwin lived as he died, an honorable, courageous, upright, Christian man; that he was not a man with dual personality; that scandal never darkened his door,” Mr. McHale said. E. Louis Moore, attorney for Mrs. Schuder, asked a continuance on account of the illness of his client. Judge George W. Long granted a seven-day delay, resetting the trial for Monday, March 27.

Will Permit Testimony

Mrs. Schuder has filed a claim for $2,000,000 against the Irwin estate, claiming to be an heir as his common-law-wife. In court Monday the ‘defense waived the right to ask immediate dismissal of Mrs. Schuder’s attempt to establish herself as an heir to the Irwin fortune on technical grounds and challenged her to come into open court and face the array of defense witnesses that have been collected. “The plaintiff,” Mr. McHale explained to the court, “has stated in her petition that her evidence is the sole basis for this action. “As attorneys for this estate we could object to her testimony and exclude her from testifying because as the court well knows, under the laws of Indiana, Zula Schuder fis disqualified to testify to any alleged conversation, transaction or conference or contract that took place between William G. Irwin and herself. “However, it is the desire of the family and the counsel for this estate that the court be informed at the outset that we do not intend to invoke the law which would prohibit Zula Schuder from testifying. Instead, we waive our rights so as to permit her to testify to any story that she might concoct. AY Mr. McHale asserted that in filing the suit against the Irwin estate Mrs. Schuder had committed “every conceivable crime” and that the “whole thing smacks of extortion and borders on blackmail.”

Credit in Pressing Pay

Formula Case. By FRED W. PERKINS

Seripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, March 21.—The

The row is between the board’s

A. F. of L. and C. I. O. members. Each side wants the credit for

whatever results come from the

current vigorous efforts to smash

the little steel formula of wage control. The four public members and the four management members of WLB are on the sidelines, although the board's line-up is such that until the four labor spokesmen agree on a compromise among themselves no decision is likefy, The row stems from the demands of the United Steelworkers ot America (C. I. O.) for various benefits, foremost being a proposed wage boost of 17 cents an hour above the little steel formula. The A. F. of L. also wants to break this yardstick, and the steel union's demand is 0. K. with the A. F. of L. Demands Rejected But the A. F. of L.'s repeated demands for upward revision of the formula have been turned down, most recently last week. Its spokesmen on WLB oppose decision of the question in a case brought only by a C. IL O. unjon, and they insist on arrangement for presentation of arguments by the A. F. of L. as well as the C, I. O. Philip Murray, C. I. O. president, and the C. I. O. board members do not like the A. F. of L. idea. The labor spokesmen in this wrangle are, for the A. PF. of L., Sec-retary-Treasurer George Meany and Robert Watt, an international representative; for the C. I. O, R. J. Thomas and Emil Rieve, both heads of large C. I. O. unions and officers of the general organization. All are members of the WLB, with a vote in its decisions. Hearing Scheduled A board panel which has been conducting the preliminaries in the steel wage case reported a week ago its uncertainty as to whether it should receive evidence on the 17cents demand and asked the board for instructions. It has scheduled a hearing for tomorrow to begin the steel union’s

ner of receiving the evidence — whether to accept it from a single C. I. O. union or to give the A. F. of L. a hand in it—began last Thursday, continued Friday and yesterday, and was resumed today. On the outcome depends a general upward revision of wartime wage scales in all industries. ‘This involves the entire administration program to hold down costs of commodities—wages, price ceilings and subsidies. Union prestige and labor politics also figure. Management members of the board are reported standing against any opening of the subject, either by C.I. O.or A. F. of L. The public members also would prefer to let the question rest until congress or the administration takes the lead in changing the present controls. But if they reject any union demand for a hearing, they would risk a withdrawal of labor support from the board.

BEECH GROVE'S MAIL GIVEN CITY STATUS

The Beech Grove village mail carrier, Delphin Timmerman, who ree turned to his job after being. muse tered out of the army, will become a city carrier April 1, The new standing was announced in Washington today by Rep. Louis Ludlow, who had previously writ ten Mrs. Mary Rutledge, postmaste er, that the -change was due because the postoffice receipts had exceeded $10,000. Mr. Timmerman’s salary will be increased under the new status. Village carriers earn from $1100 to $1350 a year, while city carriers earn from $1700 to $2100 a year. The Beech Grove postoffice was advanced from a third class to second class postoffice last July, which paved the way for the new change. Mr. Timmerman, 1206 Churchman ave, carries all the heavy mail in the community with only one sube stitute to help him. Walter Zigander will now be a city substitute. With the steady increase of mail in the last eight years, Mrs. Rutledge said that it might be necessary to petition Washington for another carrier. x
