Dan Tobin Wouldn't Mind | That 10-Cent Royalty Himself

Behind Steel Bars

But he's not as easily viewed as either of these. In fact, if you stepped up to see him at International Teamsters headquarters at ! 222 E. Michigan st., you'd find yourself facing a jail-fashion door of | steel bars,

When Mr. Tobin talks he talks all over, his greying - locks lashing wildly, arms gesticulating, face reddened, eyes blazing. When he speaks, 650,000 teamsters sit up and listen. Uncle Dan has had his legal residence here for the past 37 years and now lives at 5102 Park ave. But it's only sporadically that he's in season in Indianapolis. This is because he travels a lot,|

especially to warm places in winter, |

cool places in summer, and to

washington all the time. Six Weeks in Florida

He's a little touehy on this sub-| Ject, however, insisting that happened to be in Florida this “ ter to attend three important meetIngs that stretched along for six weeks, He has a summer home in Massachusetts.

Uncle Dan can claim as close a

personal friendship with President Roosevelt as any Hoosier. With a brogue as broad as his, grin, Mr, Tobin derives much delight from describing. his associations‘ with - the ‘President whom he chummily calls “the. old *man.”

Re-enacts Visits

In pantomime he re-enacts his frequent visits to the White House. Pointing sternly to an imaginary receptionist, he bellows, “Tell the old man I want to talk a little this time. If I'm only gonna get Six minutes. F want to-say something.” ““To - hell with the diplomats,” ghouts Mr. Tobin in mock declamation to the imaginary receptionist. “I bring him votes, what do they bring him?” Then, still in pantomime, Uncle Dan is starchly conducted into “the chief's sarictum where he proceeds to extend’ the original six minutes allotted ‘him to 20 minutes. Mr. Tobin believes Roosevelt is ®a great political mastermind. A marvelous leader. In later |

| years he'll rank right beside Washington and Lincoln.” | At one time or another Uncle {Dan has been mentioned for the | secretary of labor post, but he |pshaws this away now with the implication that it's a bit below his rating. “I feel that’ I'm bigger now than Madame Perkins, the poor girl” {says Mr. Tobfh,. shaking his head | solicitously. “And I don’t say it in a bragging manner. Not at all | Besides I'm making one-and-a-half times as much now as I'd be making as secretary of labor.” In so many words, Uncle Dan leaves little doubt that he was a prime mover in the past Democratic campaign, “but not for political reasons, but because I believe in the-cause Strangely enough, Uncle Dan sees rough and rocky sledding ahead for the Democratic party.

“With a Good Man . . .”

“With a good man, acceptable to labor, the Republicans will win in a walk,” says the teamster boss. “But the Republicans always have bad advisers.” He notes “the historical fact that war hangovers, both psychologically and economically, habitually sweep he| the incumbent party out of power.’ “I'm not a pessimist, but I'm not a damn fool optimist either. I've seen it happen before.”

Uncle Dan feels that the Little]

Steel formula is slightly out of line and wants. prices adjusted upwards. “Only the other day,” he complains, “I had to pay $3 to get my teeth filled. Two bucks to get 'em (scoured. The cost of living has | gone ‘clear out of bounds.” The ~~ leather-lunged teamster president still ‘sits ‘at the same second - -hand desk he purchased 37 vears ago when he first established international headquarters here. In the rear of this is a brand new mahogany desk, but he only uses that “to impress people.”

Married Here

~ He declares he's pleased with the development of .the mid-west labor mdvement. “because there isn't any unnecessary snobbishness in the average mid-west businessman and employer.” A former Boston truck driver, {he met Mrs, Tobin, originally of Noblesville, here, -and 'they were married in Indianapolis. ‘They have five sons, one daughter, and 1t grandchildren, “That proves I haven't been a bloody slacker,” he says.

Among the 3500 airmen who bombed Osaka were many who also had participated in the Nagoya and Tokyo strikes. When they landed at their Marianas bases today, they had completed 48 hours in the air out of the last 110.

“Men in an observation plane got the impression of a solid mass of flames,” he said.

A Japanese communique acknowfedged that some fires still-were out of control 10- hours after the start of the raid. It said the B-29s bombed blindly from above clouds and damaged “various places in the city area.”

One Plane Lost

The glant raiders ran into stiff anti-aircraft fire and a blinding network of searchlights, but fighter opposition © was meager. Only, one plane was lost to enemy action. Another was lost over Naggya Monday and two went down. ove “Tokyo Saturday. The Japanese claimed that 11 Buperfortresses had been shot down and about 60 damaged in the raid on Osaka.

MANILA, March 14 (U. P)— Tank-paced American troops swept. up four more villages on Mindanao and stabbed more than two miles inland from Zamboango today against increasing Japanese resistance. At the same time other American forces stepped up their campaign on Luzon. They cut the main Japanese line east of Manila, cleared the ‘entire western shore of Laguna bay and reopened Batangas bay to U. 8. shipping. The mounting ground offensives on Luzon and Mindanao, largest strongholds of the Japanese in the Philippines, came as American bombers opened a campaign to neutralize the 180-mile long Sulu archipelago stretching from Mindanao to oil-rich Borneo. Liberator bombers began the attacks with a 63- ton raid on Sanga Sanga and Zettel airdromes near the southern end of the island chain. Far to the north, three marine divisions were mopping up Japanese remnants on Iwo and the end of the campaign was at hand. '
