strips no bigger than your fingers, " and only after terrific pulling and yanking. It seemed as if it would take hours to make a hole big enough fo get the pilot out. The ripping and pounding against the metal sides of the hollow plane made a thunderous noise. I peered inside and asked the pilot: “Does the noise bother you?” He sald, “No, I can stand it. But tell them to be careful when they break through on the other side—my leg is broken, you know.” : But the American boys worked faster than we believed possible. ‘They* tore their fingers on the Jagged edges of the metal; they broke strong alumnum ribs with one small crowbar and lot of human strength. Soon they had a hole hig enough so that I could get my head and shoulders inside the cockpit. 3
‘1 Could Drink a River’
SOMEBODY HANDED me a canteen of water and I shoved it through the hole to the pilot. He drank avidly. When he put the canteen down he set it on his bare chest and held it with both hands. “By God, I could drink a river dry,” he said. Somebody outside-said-not-to- lethim drink any more right now. The pilot said, “Would you pour some on my head?” ‘ I soaked: my dirty handkerchief, and rubbed his forehead with it. His hair was nut brown in color and very long.

Inside Indianapolis By Lowel! Nussbaum
ED HEINKE, The Times’ city editor, never misses an opportunity, Yesterday, while ‘talking to Maury Fadell, manager of the local U. 8. employment serve ice, Ed inquired hopefully: “Say, Maury; do you suppose you could dig up a couple of office boys for me within the next couple of weeks?" Maury gulped a couple of times, then replied, equally hopefully: “I'll try, Ed—provided you'll dig me up a furnished house or apartment — within the next two weeks!” That made Ed gulp. Because if there's anything harder to find than office boys, it's rent-—al-property. Why, even the real estate men are begging each other for help. A note on the first page of the current Indiana Rea] Estate Journal, entitled “Please,” reads
as follows: “If you have a three-bedroom rental
house, north, please help a brother realtor by calling the board office. , . . thanks.” , , Turning the pages of the Journal, we find on the back page a little story entitled: “Can you believe this?” Offered as the solemn truth, it relates that Realtor Ben Claypool and Mrs. Claypool attended a country sale near their farm in Fayette county last week. Mrs. Claypool wanted a certain table, so she stood near it, while Ben mingled with the crowd. When the table was placed on the block, she opened the bidding. Every bid she made was topped by someone in the crowd, but finally, the other bidder gave up and she got the table. Then came the payoff. She found the person who had been bidding against her was none other than her own husband. Well bet he caught heck.

Labor Politics
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 23.4-The two men who have made a habit of heading the labor campaign divisions of the Democratic and Republican national come mittees are here for the summer meeting of the American Federation of Labor's executive council— and neither is sure about doing that political job this year. It appears that neither has yet been asked sufficiently. . Daniel J. Tobin, head of the big A. P. of L. Teamsters union (which includes several hundred thousand men who drive trucks and other motor vehicles, and _ comparatively few who hold the reins over horses), said he had written to Democratic National Chairman Robert Hannegan that he would like to be counted out this year because of pressing duties for the labor organization. William L. Hutcheson, president of the A. F. of L. Carpenters union, said he hadn't heard from the Republican management. He said he didn't know exactly what he would do if he heard. Mr. Hutcheson has been head of the Republicans’ labor division in two campaigns,
Complichted by P. A. C.
“DAPPER DAN” and “Big Bill” are A. PF. of L. labor spokesmen on opposite sides of thé political fence. The unions they head are among the biggest in the A. F. of L, and they are in competition for its dominance. The situation is complicated this vear because of the impact of the C. I. O. Political Action Committee.

HE HAD COMPLETE command of his thoughts. The half-delirium you would expect of a man trapped for eight days without ‘food or water, just did not exist in him, He was just being himself, : ; His face was dirty from much sweating, but the skin of his body was white and clean. There was a small scab on his forehead and there were some light bruises on his.arms. <0 a Inside the plane, the stench was shocking. My first thought was that ‘there must be another man in the plane who had been dead for days. I said to the pilot: . “Is there someone else in the plane?” And he answered, “No, this is a single-seater, ola boy.” : What I had smelled was the pilot himself. We couldn’t see the lower part of his left leg, but we judged it must be gangrenous and in a horrible shape. “I can move my right leg,” he said, “it’s all right. In fact I've had it out from here several times, and moved it around for exercise, But the left one I can’t move,” I asked, “Where did you get the cigaret you were smoking when we got here?” He said, “Your chap gave it to me. The one who came first. He lighted it for me and stuck it in through the hole, and went searching for the rest of you.”
Saw Glow in Cockpit
I WAS WONDERING if it wasn’t dangerous for him to be smoking inside the wrecked plane. I mentioned something about his being lucky that the plane hadn't caught fire when he crashed, And he said: “I'll tell you about that. Do you see that little
There were several small woods, but I said, “yes.” “Well,” he said, “that first night they set fire to that woods. I could tell it by the glow in the cockpit. And here the plane was soaked with hundredoctane gasoline. I thought the fire would spread - Actually what he had thought was the woods afire was a little town, Le Mesniltore, which had been set afire by shelling. I didn't bother to tell him, for he was alive, and after all what could the technicalities matter? ° -
driving.” Such honesty should be rewarded. . .. The paper salvage collection is over, but the aching muscles linger on. Some of the chair-warming office workers who got out and helped with the drive still are finding it hard to get out of bed in the morning. « + « In the wake of the collection are many tidbits of news. For instance, there’s the Camp Atterbury soldier, thrice winner of the purple. heart, who was in Indianapolis and, hearing of the campaign, volunteered his services, And he really worked “like a trooper,” the Jaycee boys say. He was M. Sgt. Robert Taylor—NOT the movie actor. . , . The variety of articles found by the collectors was a source of entertainment. Some collectors complained that they found many bundles torn open by small boys looking
copies of the magazine, Esquire, usually upset the collection routine. One worker reported finding a whole series of books entitled, “The Nations of the World,” several books in Braille, and a complete set of Time magazine from 1938 up to date,

SECOND SECTION
Pamphlets Issued With All Details
State selective service headquarters here this week will launch a drive to seal Indiana’s rehabilitation program with water-tight efficiency through organization of local veterans’ advisory committees in
every community. "Ten thousand copies of a pamphlet entitled “Organization of an Official Local Veterans Assistance program” will be distributed to civic, patriotic and government groups from Evans--ville--to- Ft. Wayne; ett In a foreword to the pamphlet, Governor Schricker explains that the present discharge relocation program “has been formulated as a result of numerous

with many individuals and agencies that have been devoting much study to the problem.” General Advisory Group
Individuals chosen to head local veterans advisory committees “should be apart from partisan politics and controversial matters,” the pamphlet warns. “They must have a record of civic-mind-edness, enjoy the respect and confidence of the returning veteran himself.” Over-all supervision of the setup will be in the hands of a state veterans service committee, composed of the state selective service director, the state war manpower commissioner and the regional manager of the veterans administration. However, the pamphlet points out, “It is the basic policy of the state veterans service committee to inform, advise and inspire, rather than attempt to
_direct the local program.”

Prove Efficient Team
MR. TOBIN for the Democrats and Mr. Hutcheson for the Republicans, have proved to be an efficient team in emphasizing the A. F. of L.'s ability to divide politically, without getting hooked up to a damaging extent with either party. It was understood that Mr. Tobin possibly may be called soon to Washington for a conference on whether he will undertake again to marshal organized-labor votes for Mr. Roosevelt. He might change his mind. Mr. Hutcheson was a candidate for the vice presidential nomination in the Republican national convention here earlier this summer. He has ideas that other labor leaders consider poisonous — he thinks the national labor relations act should be, amended to ‘give employers the same rights as labor unions, in collective bargaining under law. 4 “I ask you,” said Mr. Hutcheson, “where would a
