The admiral and the captain work together smoothly, though they're “different types.” Berkey, 4 while friendly and sociable, is more crisp and impersonal than Duncan. Duncan moves leisurely and speaks softly, with a drawl befitting a native of the town of Ozark, Mo. And he is a marvelous yarn spinner, Some of his anecdotes come from Russia, where prior to this command he was our nayal attache, He ‘knows Stalin.and Molotov and the rest. At one Kremlin dinner, responding to some remarks by Stdiin, he. made a good-humored but wry reference to his difficulties in geffing information about Soviet naval matters. Stglin, the story goes, rose with-a grin and walked to Duncan's place at the table, gave

him if he ‘had trouble getting what he:wanted he should come direct to-him. Durican was a rear admiral then, but He reverted to a captain on leaving Moscow for a sea sommand.

He Hates War

MOSCOW JACK has seen enough action olt here to satisfy the most bloodthirsty, but he hates war, He likes to philosophize about the terrible stupidity and waste of war, though it has been his profession during 31 of his 50 years. Since taking command of this cvulser in the spring of 1944 Duncan has been decorated with the legion . of merit, for western New Guinea operations, and the navy cross for the Battle of Surigao Strait.

AIR TRAVEL by completely robot means, including takeoff and landing, now is within the realm of probability, according to General Electric engineers. They picture it as follows: “You climb into your ‘airplane, make a few adjustments with dials and switches, then (believe it or not) relax and take a nap or read a book while the plane automatically takes off, carries you to your destination and lands.” The answer, engineers say, is in the development of tHe rapidly rotating gyroscope, essentially a wheel, or body,’ mounted on a shaft and arranged to be spun at high speed. .The kid brother's whirling top is a fine example. Right now, -the gyroscope is used in automatic pilots and gyro fluxgate compasses to hold a plane on a true course, much more efficiently than can a human pilot. Flights, engineers say, have been made with a device that permits automatic control of turns, banks and other maneuvers.

Automatic Calculation “WHEN A PLANE deviates from its course,” it is pointed out, “the gyroscope, mounted horizontally, still points in a fixed direction. This permits -automatic calculation of how far the plane is off its course. Another instrument; with the gyro mounted verHelly: enables the pilot to determine whether his

One man lay dead on Rker deck, partly covered by a tarpaulin, which however: could not conceal the bloodstains that splotched the deck. Capt. Duncan, in his warm, soft, friendly voice, was saying to the wornout young skipper of the smaller ‘ship: “Your men will get the best care we can possibly give them, captain, Don't worry about them. If there's anything else I can do, just pass the word.” Duncan's informal friendly manner pervades the whole ship's company.

Whittier, Cal, is similarly human and helpful ‘That is, with the dreadful exception of the morning I was invited to attend a gathering of the ship's officers in the wardroom and discovered to, my horror that Prichard expected visiting correspondents to earn their salt by saying a few words into a microphone for the diversion oY the officers.

It ran right back, After about 15 minutes of that, he chased the pesky critter around the house and right back onto the porch. Next, Brown went to a grocery and got an orange gyate and tried to capture the animal. But that was different.

THREE SOLDIERS sat side by side on one of those side seats on a Central bus Saturday night. The soldier in the middle looked up and noticed two women standing. “Say, fellows,” he said nudging his companions, “we ought to get up and give our seats to those ladies.” The others agreed and all three arose. Just then, the soldier who had initiated the action noticed there were ‘only two women standing. So he slid over to the side and sat down again, leaving room for the women to sit down. “No use letting a seat go to waste,” he muttered apologetically. And strangely enough, the other two didn’t do a thing about the trickery. They just let him get away with it, . , .

as .a true indicator of the earth’s horizon at all times, and whether the plane is nosing up or down.”

Pilot Simply Relaxes TIED IN with electric circuits, every movement of the plane is transmitted automatically and immediately corrected by the automatic pilot. When the gyroscope notes that the plane is off course or not in straight or level flight, it- sends an electrical message to an amplifier. The message is converted into greater electrical energy and sent on to a “serve” power unit. Here power is initiated that moves the controls and brings the plane back to its normal position and correct the course. . At the present time new, remarkable advances are being made in application of the gyroscope to all phases of flying, engineers state. Right now the elements of “drift"-—caused by cross winds—has to be figured into automatic flight manually, through adJustments made by the pilot or engirfeer as he determines the angle and amount of drift. With regard to robot takeoffs and landings—sufficiently accurate for the pilot to relax and let the instruments do the work--that is predicted for “sometime in the future” by the engineers now in charge of developments not yet publicized. The fact, is, however, that the gyroscope is going to, play a tremendously important part in making flying mighty safe and fairly easy for the pilot (both private and commercial) of the future,

ther from the truth. Miss Ashley's South side babies came at the rate of 150 per year, which was just as fast as they arrived on the North side.

TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1945 OUR TOWN: DISCLOSURES BY THE EXTRAORDINARY JULIA E. ASHLEY—

‘You Must Have Been a Wonderful Baby’

Miss Julia E. Asiviey +. . past 90 and basking in her vineyard of memories, :

IN SEPTEMBER, 1876, Miss Ashley took over the baby room of Public School No. 10, the one now known as" the Henrietta Colgan school, located on the corner of

what was then Ash st. and Home|}

ave. Today it is identified as the corner of Carrollton ave. and 13th st. For how long nobody knows. When Miss Ashley went to No. 10 the school board increased Her salary to $55 per “school month.” She Says she'll never forget the thrill - the ‘day she received that check. Miss Ashley stayed 39 years at No. 10. Tt was a period packed with precocious babies. A female led the list. It was little Mary Ritter, the girl’ who subsequently married Charles Beard and helped htm write his amazing series of American history. She still does. - : » » » AS ‘FOR the male-babies of that period, Miss Ashley hasn't yet made up her mind whether Albert Rabb

or Paul V. McNutt was the smarter

of the two. It's a toss-up, she said. The issue is clouded by the fact

that. Paul was such a pretty boy,

“It’s apt to warp a woman's judgment,” observed Miss Ashley, The - most temperamental baby

Miss Ashley ever had was Lew

Shank. Seems that the superin-

tenderit of schools had transferred |

Lew Shank from Public School No.

27 in the hope that maybe Henri-|

etta (Polly) Colgan, principal * of No. 10, could handle him. She did. “But I never would have guessed,” said Miss Ashley, “that Lew Shank

© ever would be mayor of Indianap-

olis.” - » » IT TURNS OUT, too, that Miss Ashley made another bad guess. “It never occurred to me,” she said, “that little Orville Wright was watching the flight -of birds when I tried to get him to concentrate on the spelling of c-a-t.” When asked whether she could recall the dumbest baby she ever had, Miss Ashley said: “Certainly, but you can’t get me to tell.” After a moment’s hesitation, che added: “The news might rock the foundations of Indianapolis.” » » »” MISS ASHLEY was 61 years old when she retired in 1915. She

‘packed her effects and memories

and moved to California. The wide open spaces and hills and water attracted her, she said. This is explained (more or less) by the fact that.Julia Ashley spent

the first 30 years of her life in|

Madison, Ind. . Her father, a first-rate cabinet maker, brought the whole Tamily to Indianapolis in 1864. The Civil War

, was not yet over and Abraham

Lincoln was still President. Ee. ! MISS ASHLEY was receiving $080 a year when she said good-

bye to Indianapolis. It works out}

somewhere around $100 per “school month.” When she arrived in Los” Angeles; Miss Ashley decided not to live in the city. And so she explored the wilderness surrounding that town.Finally she found (and bought) a patch of ground to her liking. It was ‘miles .away from civilization

and the only way to get to it was

on horseback. “And look at me now,” she said. “Here I am in the very midst of it—almost at the famous corner of Vine st. and Hollywood blvd. right in the shadow of the Columbia Broadcasting Co.” » ” * WHEN ASKED how she spends her time today, Miss Ashley carefully collected her thoughts and ce plied: “I mind my own business and I try fo serve my country by buying war bonds.” . . . She paused a moment , light comes I want to be buried in our family lot. I have already made all arrangements with my under-

plentiful evidence as to his sources. To force him to give a few flames of-people from whom he had obtained confidential information would mean that oi the future no employees of any government or vate group would dare to give such information. at would mean, in many cases, that investigations would not be started, because no one would kndw that anything was wrong. . If good sources of information had not been given, there would then be valid criticism of a writer or al newspaper. But this was not the case in the present ‘ingtfifice, and therefore the procedure of holding Mr. tsch in contempt éndangers the public interest. I hope that all who have any interest in our vetdrans or in good government will write to Rep. John Rankin, chairman of the committee, as well as to their own congressmen, and protest the action. If this procedure is not changed, future sources of’ “information will be intimidated, and that is dangerous to the. public good.

Hard to Be Idle

Later I told him that former President Herbert ‘Hoover, after visiting him at his show place, Karen Hall, long before the war had, on "his return to the United States, been the first important American I knew of to predict that war was inevitable under terms of the Nazi economy. He had forecast the ultimate debacle of Germany, which I thought would interest Goering. In those days Goering had been full of braggadocio about “full employment.” 1 asked Goering how he felt. “It is hard on us here,” he replied, waving his arm to include the other generals thereabouts. “You see, we Germans are active people, and we have been s6 busy for six years it is hard to be idle now. Yes,” he mused, “it is hard to be idle now.” That is the type of regret the Nazi leadership had today and Americans must understand this if we are to know what we are really up against in the German mentality and somehow to avoid its next threat to the peace of the world.

By FRED W. PERKINS WASHINGTON, May 22.—Preshe picked flowers arriving in eastern cities from the West coast, every morning with last night's dew stili on them. Refrigerated vegetables, chilled melons ready for breakfast, being delivered in New York, Boston and ‘Chicago, less than 10° hours off the vine or plant. These are two ideas fave ored by Richard T. Frankensteen, a vice president of the C. I. O. United Automobile worke

‘ers, as a means of maintaining

a big market for airplanes after the ‘war. Mr. Frankensteen has a direct Interest in this, because he is head of the U. A. W.s aircraft division. If the demand for airplanes is small this union division . obvie ously will shrink with the cre railed production. 5 ” 5 THE FIGURES were revealed here before industry and union representatives and war produc tion board officials. -

The figure; 1596509, represents the number of persons. employed in making aircraft. The figure, 84.000, represents the number -6f persons who worked in the 125 aircraft plants this country had in 1939, before the wartime expansion. » ” » BETWEEN 1,640,000 and 64,000 will be found the poiyt at which peacetime aircraft employment will settle.

The 1,640,000 figure includes hundreds of thousands of men ‘Who formerly worked in automobile plants, and many will want . to go back to making cars, trucks and tractors. » » ” ALSO, the number of women in the 1,640,000 is figured at better than 46 per cent. R. J. Thomas, U. A. W. presi. dept, contests the idea that any large slumber of the ieminine workers will be forced out of jobs, but he says that some of ihem probably wl want to get married. 2 ANOTHER toes is cited to make the outlook dark for present ems ployees in aircraft manufacture ing. Mr, Frankensteen is aue thority for it. From his union alone, 300,000 men whe formerly helped to make airplanes are in the armed forces, » - » THE principal accomplishment so far is that J, A.
