Inside Indianapolis

A CLASS of school children up in Vermont is going to enjoy Indiana through a “piece of wood six inches square. The social studies group In Barton, a little town in the northern part of the state, asked for

the wood sample to fill in a blank space on a map of the United States. The map + ‘Is being made out of the lumber . most popular in each state, And, : _ as far as Indiana is concerned, it i: was almost a tossup. Donnie Felkins, secretary to Paul Ross over in the statehouse, got busy _ we on the project and finally ended up sending a piece of white oak on its way north. But black wal- - nut, she learned, ran a close second in popularity. It seems to be moust' famous for Its -antique furniture. An article in Outdoor Indiana magazine, however, recently named the white oak in Indiana the world's best. Wonder what the class will use to fill out the rest of the blank space in Indiana's spot? The request was for a sample piece 9x12 inches. The 6 by 6 piece was the largest the lorestry division had. ... Boyd Sparrow, manager at Loew's theater, is in Columbus, O., today’ to help put on the world premiere of “Captain Eddie. The, movie tells the life story of Eddie Rickenbacker, head of the Indianapolis Speedway. There's no doubt about the house being packed. Betty Grable and Fred MacMurray are going to be there in person, The picture will be here in about a month, probably at the Indiana.

Instructions in Manners

IF YOUR BUS or trolley operator has been especially polite the last few days, here's the reason. The Indianapolis Railways has just issued a primer on the “ABC's of Making Friends for Yourself and Our Service.” Among other instructions drivers are supposed to see that their caps are on straight, their fingernails clean and that they greet their passengers with a pleasant smile. . . = Incidentally, how are your Vic tory garden tomatoes coming along?

Ingenious G.I.’s

KUNMING, China, Aug. 1.—In India, Burma and China, the American G. I. has built everything from shower baths to a modern maintenance line for huge C-54 transport planes. Out of practically nothing they have built saw mills, foundries, ice plant and cold mm w= storage units and what<not. You ¢ J should see some of the bars in clubs for enlisted men non-coms and officers. They're made out of broken airplane parts and packing cases. At Tezgaon, 150 miles northeast of Calcutta, Col. Andrew B. Cannon's record-wrecking Bengal Wing built much of the equipment for its modern production maintenance line for C-54s out of.old bed springs. pipe and plane parts. There is | no better plant in the United States or one doing more work, The men built their own three-deck, adjustabie platform for making repairs and cleaning. They built and put up their own flood lamps for night work,

Builds Saw Mill of Scrap IN UPPER Assam Province, India, from whence planes take off for the hop over the Hump. the transportation of vital supplies in adequate quantity 1s an arduous task without the increased problem of building equipment, Warehouses and sheds are built as much as possible of bamboo, but in this monsoon focal area, complete protection from weather is needed for many items. T. Sgt. Stirl Hatfield of Ransom, Ky., was a lumber contractor in his pre-khaki days. He was provided with a 54-inch circular blade, and beholo—a saw mill! With what nature endowed the valley, the scrap heap and other such sources of supply, he parlayed that 54-inch circular blade into the. Assam Saw Mill turning qut 6000 feet of lumber per day. He has 18 loggers on full time in the jungle, Tons of supplies have been preserved as a result. Edward R. Dillen, of Cleveland, discovered a sand mixed with molasses that produces the proper molding solution for his home-made foundry at the CenAviati UNTIL YOU have .seen New York in one of its victory celebration moods, your best recourse is his torical description of the triumphs of ancient Rome, New York welcomes all our national heroes: Pershing and his victorious armies in 1918, Bobby Jones, Lindbergh, and recently, Eisenhower, It is a thrilling spectacle which, somehow or other, always leaves me with a haunting impression of what the pageantry of paganism must have been at its peak. Usually about a week’ or 10 days are required to clean up the debris of torn ticker tape, telephone books, and other paraphernalia. with which the town salutes its heroes. And yet the emotional flood seems to pass me by as I become conscious of a deepening nostalgia. Not. a nostalgia inspired by memories of other times, but rather a reaching back for the never-changing fundamentals, which, sooner or later, must replace the mob hysteria in order that ‘people may become human again, to think and act as sane individuals. Around me are all kinds of people from all walks and levels of life—'"big” people and “little” people,

who- behave as if this were the last free outlet of emotions,

Turn. to ‘Little People’ MY MIND turns to the spectators, with only a sweeping glance at the returned heroes. These are the “little” people of the heroic families to which these warriors belong. Before them sweeps line after line of lean, sun-tanned, battle-hardened Joes and Johns and Jims and Bills of other families, smiling and nodding to the cheers and the flags.

My Day

HYDE PARK, Tuesday —Every year as the purple Loosestrife begins to bloom along our brook, I marvel at its beauty. In a mass as it grows here, it looks like a sea of purple, and when the sun is setting, the sunlight and the color from the flowers reflects itself in the water with a lovely effect. The flowers came gradually to * their full bloom, but in the course of the next week or so we will be enjoying its full glory. I have never known a rainier season. The farmers everywhere are looking sadly at their crops and bemoaning the number - of times they have had to plant and : replant things in their gardens. This, of course, has happeped to us also, but nature always seems to Competioaté in a way. and her lavishness with water has certainly done marvels for the trees.

Forum on G.I. * Rights May Bring Action

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 1--Spokesmen for organized {abo and war veterans agree that: ° 1. The re-employment rights of soldiers and sailors in the present war are stilllubject fo a court decision or more law by congress: 2. Employment rights, in competition with union

members, for the millions of young fighters who never had a regular’ job, are not backed ; at present by any legal guare antee : This agreement was subscribed to today by Ted F. Silvey. chair= man of the C. I. O. reconversion committee, and Omar B. Kete chum, national legislative rep= resentative of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. = n » THE agreement of Messrs Ketchum and Silvey followed J discussion on the radio “American Forum of the Air,” in which all the old arguments about the two questions were rehashed and nobody agreed with anybody else. Also on the program were Maj, Gen. Lewis B. Hershey director of selective service, who supported the veterans’ side of the argument, and M. H. Hedges research director for the -A. F. of L, Brotherhood of Electrical Work« ers, who stuck up for the seniority rights of organized labor. The Ketchum - Silvey agree ment, which was reached in« formally in the presence of newspaper reporters, may prod Atv, Gen. Tom Clark into an official ruling ~n what congress meant in

+ the re-employment section of the. .

selective service act. And it may prod congress to a decision (after its recess) on the bill of Rep. Knutson (R. Minn.) intended to give young veterans of this war a chance at jobs which they are now barred by union seniority systems. amy BOTH phases of the veteran employment problem are become ing more serious as men-are ree leased from the armed forces. There have been individual but no mass controversies to date, There may be, according to spokesmen on both sides of the fence, when the Japanese war ends and demobilization starts on a big scale. In the radio. discussion the la~ bor men put mest of their emphasis en “full employment,” or jobs for all, which would remove any conflict between returning soldiers and civilian workers. Mr. Silvey asked if full employment is not provided, then should a lawyer give up his job to a feturning lawyer for example, or should a pharmacist’ give up his business to a navy pharmacist’s mate who wanted to go into the drugstore business? Gen. Hershey said the selective service law provides definite ree employment rights for veterans, and “the veterans have not failed us; we shall not fail them.” Mr, Ketchum wanted to know, “Where do we go when labor unions restrict job opportunities?”
