Inside Indianapolis By Lowell Nusshaum

A CERTAIN firm ‘manufacturing hydraulic equipment is proud of the accuracy with which the parts of its equipment’ are machined. Kealing & Co. was preparing some advertising for the firm, and the copy \ was ® include one-ad telling how. the hydraulic

parts were .machined down to

three-thousandths of an inch. In writing the ad, Larry Sogard of the Kealing agency thought up the slogan, “Accurate to a Cat's Whisker.” Very proud of his idea, he showed it to the hydraulic firm's advertising manager. “But,” - protested the cautious manager, “are. you sure a .cat's whisker measures just three-thousandths of an inch?” That evening he mentioned his y problem to his neighbor, Horace FF. Weakley, 526. W. Westfield blvd. Mr. Weakley, plant manager for Esterline-Angus, said maybe he could find a solution. The next evening, Mr. Weakley called over to Mrs. Sogard: “Tell Larry I've’ got the cat's whiskers.” “Why, Horace, have you been drinking?" asked Mrs, Sogard. He assured her he hadn't; and asked her just to pass the message along. Larry went over, and sure enough—Mr. Weakley had a cat's whisker, “This cat came walking across the lawn,” he explained, “and I made up with it. And when it wasn't looking, I yanked out a whisker.” He added he thought the “darned cat was going to tear me to pieces.” Well, to keep a long story from getting any longer, they took the whisker and measured it and found it was 11 thousandths of an inch in diameter at one end and two thousandths at the other. That didn’t discourage Larry. He went right ahead with the ad on the theory that somewhere between 11 thousandths and two thousandths the cat's whisker just had to be three thousandths.

WITH THE 25TH DIVISION AT BALETE PASS, LUZON (By Wireless).—I chinned a while longer with some of the men of Company D, 35th infantry, and then decided I'd better take a look:-at the crest of Balete Pass, which was just around a bend in the highway, There wasn't much there. One very dead Jap in the road: A ruined resthouse on the left. Clouds obscured the view, but on a clear day you could look northward and downward toward the Villa Verde trail and Santa Fe. » From here on it would be downhill for these tired troops, who hoped there was truth in the rumor that they would be relieved when Santa Fe was taken. Jim Hutcheson came along and we. returned to our jeep, which wasn't quite where we had left it. One of those Jap mortar shells had struck a hillside just above, showering dirt and rocks on it, and our driver explained that “I took off.” As we left they were bringing two bodies down the hillside on litters—soldiers killed the day before.

Portable Hospital

ON THE WAY home we noticed a medical installation and stopped off. This turned out to be a portable surgical hospital attached to the 35th regiment, The commanding officer, Maj. Francis H. Burke of Rockville, Conn. showed us through his neat tent unit, and said this was about its fifteenth location since the Lingayen landing in January.

Once his unit had handled 28 major surgical cases between dusk and 10 the next morning. This was in a churchyard at Puncan near here. Only one patient was there when I went through,

World of Science

A POST-WAR BATTLE between the steam locomotive, the Diesel-electric locomotive and the allelectric locomotive is brewing in the railroad world. Please note that I did not say the old-fashioned steam engine because changes in design are making the battle inevitabie. Not only is the familiar type of reciprocating engine being improved, but designers -are turning to another way of utilizing steam — namely, the turbine. : The steam turbine has been used for. decades to turn the generators in ‘the big "electric power plants, The trick is to reduce the turbine in size and still keep-it-efficient. Although -intensive work started about 1930, progress was not rapid. ____General Electric built two steam turbine locomotives in 1939. These locomotives, not now in use, employed an electric drive such as is used in the Diesel-electric .locomotive. That is, the turbine was used to run an electric generator which supplied power to electric motors mounted on the axles of the driving wheels.

Nei Type Tested

IN MARCH of this year ‘he Chesapeake & Ohio railroad asked permission of the WPB to build three steam turbine locomotives with electric drives! The work will be done by the Baldwin Locomotive Works and the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. * Last month the Pennsylvania railroad completed tests of another type of steam turbine locomotive.

My Day

HYDE PARK, Sunday.—I have a letter in my mail which I think shows a bit of short-sightedness that we should take note of and explain very promptly. ; The writer, evidently someone with boys in the . service, feels that people who have worked in -war plants— where before the war they were farmers, or household workers, or perhaps mothers of families who stayed at home — should all be urged to return to their original employment and should not receive unemploynient compensation. I don't believe that, men or women will have. to be urged to return to their former work, for I think one predominant trait of the American people is that they ‘prefer to work than to si* idle. By and large, we do not like receiving money and sitting in idleness unless we ‘are ill, tired out or cannot find work. : In this last case, unemployment insurance is not

This employs a direct type of drive instead of the! electric type just described. The new Pennsylvania locomotive is a 6500-horse-power giant capable of making 100 nules an hour. Engineers of Baldwin, Westinghouse and the Pennsylvania co-operated in its design.

Very Little Friction AT THF HEART, of this. newest iron horse is a ccmpactly built turbine containing 1000 chromiumsteel blades, Steam from a conventional boiler is di-| rected against these blades under a pressure of 300) pounds. The blades spin at a -maximum speed of 9000 revolutions a minute, Reduction gears transmit this power directly to the driving wheels of the locomotive and it is claimed that there is so little friction that 97 per cent of the turbine’s power is put to work. As evidence of the fact that the reciprocating type | of steam engine is still as important a factor as ever, Ralph P. Johnson, chief designer of the Baldwin company, calls attention to the performance of the “T-1” built three years ago by his company for the Pennsylvania,. Mr. Johnson claims that the records show that this locomotive will out-perform the most powerful Diesel-electric locomotive at speeds above 26 miles per hour, Many authorities feel’ that complete eletctrification, such as exists on the Pennsylvania, between New York and Washington, is the ideal solution of the power problem but this is possible only where the density of traffic is great enough to justify the initial installation expense, And finally, it might be said that many engineers are wondering about the gas turbine, now finding its way intp the big. cargo airplanes.

” = » ONE of the recent tributes to Secretary Perkins was in the United Mine Workers Journal, which recounts the pulling ‘and nauling - over appointment of a labor department head when Mr. Roosevelt took office, and adds: “Despite all that is said te the contrary, we believe that Secretary Perkins was ‘the best of the lot (of candidates). She came into office from the ranks of the social workers. Sociologists have never been among our favorite people, “It has been said over and over again that she became secretary of labor because Mrs. Roosevelt wanted her, that Mrs. Roosevelt stood pat at all times against her dismissal. All of this may be true. We don't know. But we do know this much—that the late President Roosevelt did make a good choice in appointing Secretary Perkins as between her and Dan Tobin, who was Jim Farley's labor skate assistant during Roosevelt's rst campaign in 1932. ” = » “SECRETARY PERKINS inherited. a mess. During, her tenure of office, many laws were passed which changed the game of our industrial relations. She had to withstand the onslaught of labor leadership's criticism and that of the pirates of big business, as well ‘as “the political ‘biligies.” . . . Despite all the criticism that has been hurled at her, she has performed her . work mighty well within the confines of the limitatio imposed upon her Meanwhile, the response of labor organizations to Mr. Truman's selection of Judge Schweilenbach is not uniform. William Green, A. F. of L. president, has praised it, although previously he had called for a labor secretary “from the ranks of labor.” Philip Murray, head of the C. I. O, has had nothing to say on the subject, and is expected to await developments.

We, the Women Americans Are Too Forgiving For Own Good

By RUTH MILLETT THE short news item that told about a man being fined $10 by a six-man- jury for being cruel to a rat, raises the question of whether or not the American mind will ever know how to cope with the Nazis, now. that they are conquered. The man fined for cruelty allegedly trapped a rat and tied him to a tree, so that his two cats could practice rat catching. » = MAYBE it wasn't a pretty sight. But if a man’s abode is infested with rates—a loathsome animal without any lovable or redeeming qualities—it seems as though he might use any method possible to get rid: of them But a rat tied up—in the sentimental American mind—isn't. a rat at all, but a fellow creature that deserves fair play and a sporting chance. That kind of sentimental bosh makes us lose sight of the fact that a rat trapped, is Just a rat —and what becomes of him doesn't matter, so long as he isn't allowed to live and reproduce his Kind. s nn » AND SO 'is a defeated and capntured Nazi a Nazi still.© Let's hope that our ‘sentimental pity for anything caught or: captured won't let us forget that or start talking about compassion and fair play.
