From Rickenbacker's Mind
CAPT. EDDIE V. RICKENBACKER, president of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Corp., was contacted by telephone at his hotel in Evansville last’ night where he was attending a war equipment exhibit. “Tuesday's Memorial day—500-mile race day, captain.” “That's right; it is,” he answered after spme hesitation. “I'd forgotten all about it.” Ta “Will there be ‘500s’ again after the war?” - “Your guess is as good as mine. I'm not even thinking about the race. It’s secondary. Winning the war comes first.” " The war I ace said a pleasant goodby ahd resumed packing to return to New York on a date when in normal times he would be packing up in New York to come to Indianapolis and the Speedway.

THERE'S AN UNUSUAL touch of realism in one of the L. Strauss display windows, The display, depicting summer comfort, centers around a handsome dummy reclining in a hammock. The perfect touch of realism is a real fly on the dummy's nose. While Armond Wade was arranging the window, a spectator told him it didn’t look natural. “Where's the fly on his nose?” asked the spectator, ‘Where indeed, agreed Mr. Wade. So he set forth and, after some trouble, caught a live fly. He proceeded to drown the poor fly, and then let it dry out thoroughly. And there you are—realism!...

Everett turned, too, and attempted to follow. But they found it a losing proposition—they lost as much ground as they gained. Just like being on| a treadmill. Finally they gave it up as a bad job and rode on down to the second floor, then took an “up”| escalator back to the third floor. . . . When we men-| tioned yesterday that Lt. Cmdr. Samuel E.

Nevertheless, all signs indicate that the post-war political and security problems will be easy compared to the economic problems. The debate will center about international trade as far as Britain is concérned, for to her international trade is life itself.
For her it means full-time jobs, good wages, im-!
proved living standards, and social progress. Lack of it means men selling pencils on street corners and unrest.
eyes on the United States. After the war, we will have the mightiest fleet of ships, war and merchant, ever seen. Also a shipbuilding capacity greater than the rest of the world combined. If the ships we built in wartime are unfit for peacetime use we can whip together a new streamlined armada as big as we wish and in almost no time at all, Britain is aware of this and is wondering.
A somewhat similar situation must be faced in the
Liew congress in January. Mr. O'Brien has long been active in Democratic politics and is the son of the former Democratic auditor of state, the late William H. O'Brien. He is a native of Lawrenceburg, president of the People’s National bank at Lawrenceburg and the A.D. Cook, Inc., deep-well pump manufacturers. He is now vice chairman of the Indiana Economic council. Mr. O'Brien's candidacy has been indorsed by his home district, the 9th, in a resolution which pointed out that the district had no other candidates for a position on the state ticket.

There is certainly a high place for professionally trained social workers in this program, but it is not at the business end. Provision must be made so that men and women of business training and experience are placed in position where such training is needed. Rep. Teckemeyer said his per; sonal observation after nearly two years of investigation “is that there isn't a great deal wrong with the administration of public welfare in Indiana that an efficient, businesslike, common-sense management of its affairs could not cure.” ‘System Was Rotten’ “Why,” he asked, “did we find it necessary back in 1936 to inagurate a new system? I believe it was because of the frightful stench which arose over the manner in which public aid and assistance was being mismanaged by local groups who, from year to year, used their power for political gain. “That system was rotten to the core and we might as well admit that at the very start. So when the New Deal came along, they decided to change it, and in their anxiety to divest local groups of the power which they were abusing, they went to the other extreme and we now find that we have been stripped almost entirely of all power to control our own affairs.
