Joad has a few wounded prisoners. We had two on my trip. One was a startled-looking German kid whose card showed him to be only 17. The prisoners are treated just the same as anybody else. Miss Gill's musical warehouse includes an accordion, four guitars, a violin, two banjos, two saxophones, a clarinet, a trombone, and two dozen harmonicas. She doesn’t have many requests for either the musical instruments or the books on these short trips between the beachhead and Naples, for there's hardly time. But on the long trip back to America they are a godsend, for the men are feeling better by then and time goes slowly. On one 16-day trip across the ocean the wounded men read 3000 books—an average of six toa man. - It is a relief and a comfort for men to be on a hospital ship after their months of mud and cold and misery and danger and finally the agony of their wounding. It is a relief because the hospital ship is so little like war, and because those who operate it are in a world apart from the world these men have known. There's no blackout at all Nobody is ever dirty or cold. Cabin windows have no shutters. You can smoke on deck. Big spotlights slung on brackets point their dazzling beams at the big red cross painted on the ship's sides. The ship takes its course far outside the channels of regular war shipping, and instead of keeping radio secrecy we broadcast our position every 15 minutes. The hospital ship wants the enemy to know where it is so no mistakes can be made.

The doctors, all threugh, were! playing chess and solitaire in their small salon on the! top deck. A few soldiers strolled on deck or hung | over the rail. It was warm and gentle outside. The] washing of the water seemed like a purring against the ship's sides.

Quiet, Masked Composure

IT WAS wonderful to be going away from war instead of toward it. For the badly wounded there was a sense of completion of a task, for the others a sense of respite. And the sheets and the soft beds and the security of walls lent a confidence in things present and to come. There was intense suffering aboard that ship. But by 10:30 you could somehow feel the quiet, masked composure that comes to men of turmoil when they settle down for the night in the clasp of a strange

new safety. And early next morning we were here.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum

TODAY'S PROFILE: Edwin Starling Pearce, dirt farmer, mechanical engineer, inventor of railway devices, inveterate pipe smoker, and the president of the Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce. He's also president of a couple of companies of his own-—Rail-way Service and Supply Corp. and the Transportation Devices Corp. “ He has been president of the chamber several months and still says he can't see why they chose a small businessman like himself. Two things that annoy him about the job are the speeches and luncheons. He's always been in the habit of eating a hearty breakfast and then working right on through the noon hour without eating lunch. As a result, at luncheons he usually just pushes his plate away from him. Mr. Pearce's two principal hobbies are his work and his 280-acre farm near Brownsburg. The farm is no plaything. It's a down-to-earth farm run as a profitmaking venture. He has an experienced manager to run it, put the Pearce family lives on it each summer, and he often helps out with the work in his spare time. There's nothing he likes better than to get on his farm clothing—a most conglomerate assortment—and sit on his heels with his back against the barn on a sunny day, talking politics and farming with the hired help and the neighbors.

Lost Without a Pipe

MR. PEARCE is 53, broad shouldered and slender. About 5 feet, 10 or 11, he weighs maybe 165. He has fron gray hair and an extremely high forehead, gray blue eyes, a rather thin voice, a full face and a dark complexion. Right now he's deeply tanned as the result of a recent vacation in Florida.

He has an engineering turn of mind, likes to get out pencil and paper and blueprint an idea. Not slow to make up his mind, he knows definitely what he wants, and has a tendency to want it “done yesterday.” He doesn't hesitate to express his views vigorously. He smokes a pipe almost continuously, seems lost without it. And he becomes highly irritable if he runs out of tobacco, Born in St. Paul, Minn., he attended high school

BILL DELAYED “IN COMMITTEE

Foe of Government Ads Cites Provision for $1,250,000 Fees.

By ROBERT TAYLOR Scripps-Howard Staff Writer ~ WASHINGTON, April 29.—The house rules committee has postponed consideration of the Bank-head-Cannon newspaper subsidy bill, following testimony that a|“joker” in the bill will give commissions of $1,250,000 to a. subsid-| iary of the National Editorial asso- | ciation. Rep. Herman P. Eberharter (D. Pa.), one of eight members of the house ways and means committee who carried their fight against the measure to the rules committee, made the charge that the organization, which was the sole applicant for the advertising subsidy, | would profit: most from its passage.
