Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nussbaum *

HARRY COOLER, the billiard parlor proprietor, was commissioned by Mrs. Cooler the other day to take a pair of her best shoes downtown and have them cleaned, or repaired—we didn't get that detail, Anyway, he wrapped them up, picked up an umbrella and started from his home at 142 E. 48th for the trackless trolley. He had to run to make it, and after he got on the car he discovered the package was partly unwrapped and one shoe was missing. He worried all the way downtown. Going to a phone, hecalled Mrs. Cooler and told her about the loss. She enlisted the aid of neighbors and searched the route he had taken to the carline, but no shoe. That evening, when " Harry picked up his umbrella to start home, he noticed it was a bit heavier than usual. Investigating, he found the missing shoe in the umbrella. It had been there all the time. , . . Seen on the Circle, near the Columbia club: A woman Jerking a smal] boy, about 5 along and threatening him thusly: “Now if you don’t behave, I'll] put you in 8 taxicab and send you home.” , , .

Assuming it had been lost by someone waiting for a bus, the soldier took the handbag, and a package he found with it, over to the Circle bus station and turned it in to street railway officials in the hope they would find the owner,

Host’s Emily Post By Charles T. Lucey

WASHINGTON, May 27.—A S500«<word directive

: by the office of war information on the delicate art ‘ of “how to pick up the check”—a littie matter that “has bedeviled many an apprehensive citizen—Iis one of

the lighter items in hearings, just published, on the house appropriations committee's inquiry into OWI affairs. The instructions came to light when Rep. Louis Ludlow (D. Ind.) raised a question as to how OWI might spend the $175,000 being asked for “entertainment” overseas and was told that it seemed that perhaps the agency had sent “a bunch of Scotsmen” abroad. They've entertained only $80,000 worth so far in this fiscal year. It is Uncle Sam, of course, who fs picking up the check overseas for entertaining *distinguished foreign officials,” newspapers and radio people, in little soirees on American national holidays and the like. To guide its men in such matters, the OWI has laid down a sort of Emily Post policy to protect the federal treasury.

Shakes Warning Finger

THE DIRECTIVE shakes a warning finger at OWI men who might be inclined to entertain themselves, or at least start setting up a few for each other. Nor may a U. S. citizen be entertained, unless he is doing something contributing to entertaining foreign officials. “So long as basic conditions are satisfied,” says the OWI “reimbursement may be claimed for such items as a dinner check, caterer’s bill or individual items of food and liquid refreshments such as sugar, ice, wine, tea, coffee, etc.”

Designed to stimulate purchases by servicemen and women, this newest campaign was mapped at a luncheon meeting yesterday of officers of the Marion county war finance committee. V. M.

Horseshoes Deluxe

A COUPLE OF weeks ago, firemen from Engine house 13, across the street from The Times, swarmed out of the engine house, armed with axes, and proceeded to whack down four or five scrubby trees lining the space between the sidewalk and curb. Al-

most before the trees had been cut up into firewood, | imits and in Beech Grove and two stakes and four horseshoes appeared, and the!

game was on. Inside of a week, the boys were making ringers right and left. - And then came trouble, in the form of city works board workmen with orders to concrete the space clear out to the curb. The firemen went into a huddle d began “pulling wires.” wound up with the city concreting the space this week, all but two sections about four feet square each, These were left unpaved. The result is a horseshoe court so deluxe that we thought the mayor would be down to pitch the first shoe. But the boys couldn't wait, They initiated the court themselves.

Nothing explicit is said about setting up a few Jills of Scotch in the process of trying to generate a bit of warm friendship abroad for Uncle Sam. Of course, there's no specific bar against Scotch, and plenty of leeway is given in the OWI definition of the purposes of moving about in proper circles as a generous, subject to directive, host,

Popular Platform

"THIS PURPOSE, it is stated, is “to assist the OWI establishments abroad to mdintain official contacts, uphold the prestige of the United States in the communities in which its representatives are stationed, and to achieve its objectives abroad in the ways recognized as customary in various parts of the world.” Millions of men who have tried to frame an acceptable expense account could stand on that platform. The OWI proouncement says that “normally the check for small g:vups will be paid by the individual out of personal funds and no receipt is necessary in order to obtain reimbursement.” When entertaining is done in a hotel and the cost is billed separately as room service, the employee may pay the bill and submit a receipt with his claim or, if the hetel is the trusting sort and will wait for the cash, its bill may be paid later Generally, protocol calls for paying caterers direct by government, though the OWI propagandist may pay the caterer himself and claim reimbursement. The directive writers conceded that frequently entertaining may be done in office or home not readily identifiable with a specific function, but here, too, the OWI will understand and reimburse. Thus guided, OWI men abroad will spend about $300,000 in this and the next fiscal year.

BROWN. FIRM RULING ON POOLS

Plans to Curtail Free Swimming Time in Spite " Of Protests.

Park Superintendent Paul V.| Brown stood pat today on his] original decision to curtail free swimming time in city pools despite | threats of a deluge of protests from! community civic clubs. Although Paul C. Wetter, presi-| dent of the Indianapolis Federation] of Community Civic clubs, said his|

S| forces would open fire on the re-|

duced free-time policy at their next! meeting, Superintendent Brown met | the challenge today with an official! explanation: . “The park board had a very] definite reason for reducing the free-admittance time from five! to two hours,” he asserted. “First, our recirculating plant at present is] inadequate for supplying fresh water the municipal pools under maximum use.

Facilities Limited

“Secondly, the city does not have enough facilities to assume responsibility for the recreational activities of every child at every hour of the day. We realize that some free swimming time must be provided for those absolutely requiring it. But this business of handing something “free to all and sundry is operation on a false premise, because actually there is no such| thing in municipal government as! a free service. Somebody always pays the bill.” - Free time this summer will be from 10 a. m. to 12 noon, the park superintendent said. Mr. Wetter said he was worried | the 10-cent charge during

Best War Reporting, Ernie for Feature.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 27 (U. P.).—United Press war correspondents won two out of the four national Headliners’ awards for the year's

i best reporting in their respective

war theaters, Chairman Brateh Gardner of Penn State college an-

_| nounced today.

Also among the 22 awards grant

{ed by the judging committee was

one to Ernie Pyle, Indianapolis

ist and roving war reporter, for the best foreign feature of the year. Pyle became the first man in Headliner history to receive an award two successive years. The only other two-time winner was Westbrook Pegler, Indianapolis Times and United Features aolumnist, who won in 1937 and pepeated in 1941. The United Press men cited for war reporting were Henry Shapiro, whose exclusive story of the breaking of the siege of Leningrad was judged the best to come from the Russian theater, and Richard W. Johnston, who waded ashore with marines storming the beaches of Tarawa and wrote his first dispatch under steady sniper fire.

Shapiro Flew to Leningrad

Shapiro was flown from Moscow to Leningrad by the Russian government and became the first foreign newspaperman to visit the former Russian capital in more than two years of siege. Johnston, who later received a marine citation, gave the world its first eyewitness account of the battle of Tarawa, the most bloody and costly in marine history. Other dispatches describing the Tarawa action trailed Johnston's by nearly a week. On the judging committee were representatives of the press associations, newspapers, radio and the newsreels. The winners will receive bronze medals at the 10th annual Headliners frolic in Atlantic City June

Nobody asked the President whether he really meant next spring, though he was asked why not next winter, and replied that he did not like stormy weather on the Atlantic in the winter.
