Inside Indianapolis

p THE CIRCUS BUG has bitten Dick Miller, the big boss at the coliseum. Dick got the incorporation papers this week for ‘the Barnes Brothers Menagerie, Inc. stantly with the “Billboard,” the circus man’s bible, under his arm. Dick got in this new business after the Terrell Jacobs wild animal show split up a few months ago. Dolly Jacobs, part-owner in the show, took the elephants with her, including Modoc, the rampaging elephant. But Dick plans to get a whole herd of elephants soon — maybe from England. What's worrying him now is how to build a barn big enough and strong enough to hold the beasts. At the present time the rest of the animals for the show are about six miles south of Peru. Plans are to expand the winter quarters there so they resemble a zoo. Then people can visit the place while the show is not on the road. By next spring Dick thinks the show will be ready to go. Indianapolis will be its first stop since the coliseum is headquarters for the circus. Up until now, ODT regulations had From here the show probably will go to Chicago, then Detroit and then hit the road again. Dick is going to be resident agent for Barnes Brothers. But he'll still be plenty busy with the hockey and ice shows out at the coliseum this winter, too.

Man's Voice Answered SOMETHING new was added yesterday to the Ayres’ time service. Instead of the recording giving a plug for the department store and then telling the time, an Ayres’ employee was on the line. She was Betty Smith, a regular switchboard operator. An even greater change, however, was noticed by time seekers in the morning. For the first time when MA. 1511 was dialed a man’s voice answered. It was John Hannesey, a test worker with the telephone company. The new system was only used yesterday. Ayres’ decided not to take any chances if something goes wrong with the controls for the recording They're going to be ready to use manual labor right away.

Indian Lease

FLYIN’ OVER SOUTH AMERICA.—'Twas one of those hot days, which made it akin to every other day at Zandrey field, an emergency landing strip in Dutch Guiana. A group of American soldiers were loafing around, some sweatin’ out the Jap surrender, others Just sweatin’, Out of the thick green jungle came a man, then another, a woman and children. The soldiers sat up. “Now what the hell's this?” they asked. One by one the figures emerged from the jungle—native Indians, most of them, including the women, wore nothing but a loin cloth and the children weren't that encumbered. They came across the field and asked to see the big chief. Everybody was curious because some tribes won't associate with whites and few ever come into a settlement en masse. There were 50 or more in the group. Finally the soldiers got the story. Back in the early days of Dutch settlement the Indians objected strenuously to this encroachment and many a Dutch head was severely severed from many a body. Finally, after years of war a truce was signed and the Dutch government agreed to pay an annual tribute in goods or money, to each Indian, large or small. And this group, knowing white men were at the airstrip, came in to collect,

As airliners increase in size, it is pointed out, payload increases while some other flight expenses remain stationary. And, according to W. C. Wold, research engineer for Consolidated Vultee at Ban Diego, the actual cost (not fare) per passenger from New York to San Francisco “will hit

the startling low figure of $10.85 when the company’s huge Model

And air cargo

- 37, now being produced, begins flying regular sched-

ules, with full payloads. Wold predicts that, with airplanes usually averaging not more than three-fourths payload and with other factors figured in, the possible fare per passenger- will approximate $86.80. This will be true in case that rate of fare is allowed under future regulations. He compares this figure with the present fare of $150.68 by air between New York and San Francisco; $162 by Pullman, $70 by rail coach and $52 by bus.

Based on Model 37 Study

WOLD MADE his predictions after a careful study of costs of flying the Model 37, transport version of the XC-99. It will carry 204 passengers, cruise at 320 miles per hour non-stop for 2500 miles in less than eight hours. “In discussing passenger traffic,” writes Wold, “I mentioned a direct flying cost of $10.85 to carry one passenger 2500 miles. That is a direct cost of only a little over 4 cents a ton-mile! It is based on the luxurious version of the Model 37 which naturally has 8 low ratio of payload to, weight empty. When we

the change made by President Truman from the

Tree Bears Floor Wax FORTALAZA is one of Brazil's nicest cities, with wonderful climate and plenty of hustle. It is famous for its carnauba tree, leaves of which are used to make Johnson's floor wax. The leaves are carefully collected, dried and ground into powder. It's done by machinery now but natives used their feet in the old days. Nowhere else in the world does this tree grow, I'm told. Now, they're cultivating whole forests of them here. There's a story to the effect that some years ago some English smuggled some of the trees out of Brazil and transplanted them in like climate in Africa. They grew beautifully—but nary a drop of wax could be extracted from those African leaves.

Such little tricks and habits went by the board many, many years ggo, and now we put a very much higher premium on being honest and truthful with each other both as individuals and as diplomats. There are always some people, however, who think that you cannot say an honest thing and make if sound agreeable. In other words, a disagreeable statement is usually more truthful than an agreeable one. If you must do something which everyone agrees has to be done, but have a choice between two ways, one of which is more considerate than the other, the chances are that we will do it the inconsiderate way. Yet the art of diplomacy was meant to teach us to do what has to be done truthfully, in straightforward fashion, but with courtesy and consideration for those with whom we deal. This requires a certain

Parley Today May Help U.S..

Labcr Piciure

By FRED W. PERKINS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer > WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 — A White House meeting today will have a big influence on success of the national labor-management conference which President Truman is planning to help avert in dustrial strife in the back-to-peace period. Invitéd are heads of the two largest organized groups of employers— Eric A. Johnston, president of the U. 8S. Chamber of Commerce, and Ira Mosher, president of the National Association of Manufacturers: and the heads of the two largest divisions of organized labor—Willlam Green and Philip Murray, presidents, respectively of the American Vrederation of Labor and the C. 1. O. The stumbling block for the National Association of Manufacturers apparently is its view that the Johnston-Green-Murray agreement would operate to prevent employers from seeking new labor legislation for the regulation of labor unions. Today's meeting is intended to arrive at an idea of how extensive a field the national conference should attempt to cover, =

THERE are reports that when the aims are boiled down they will include only an attempt to get the management and labor groups to agree to more extensive use of voluntary arbitration of disputes that do not yield to conciliation and mediation.

President Truman has indicated he will seek an extension through the reconversion period of the no-strike and no-lockout pledge which was the foundation of national labor policy during the war. Strikes may be automatically reduced - through the statistical fact that work stoppages are less likely in a period of labor surplus,
