HIS BROTHER JIM, whom he mentions frequently, was a member of the safety board. The two were inse; le until Jim died three years ago and the mention of him brings a solemn look to the veteran politician. Bill was two years the elder, but the two brothers were like twins, both wearing the same size hat, shoes and identical clothing. Bill came to Indianapolis from Louisville when he was 6 years old. In his boyhood he became a rabid baseball enthusiast, playing professionally until he was injured. Back in 1800, he recalls, he played first base on the Wheeling, W. Va., club. He sort of dropped his old hobby this summer, however, and went fi g instead of following baseball. He and his wife spend the evenings at home, talking over the old days. “I have to talk—haven't played a card game in 20 years now.” A very close friend of Bill's describes him as a man of his word. “You can always depend on what he tells you,” the friend said. ‘The same friend revealed something that few people know about—Bill's generosity, In his quiet way Bill has contributed quite a bit of money to charity. . In the daytime Bill can be found in the back room of his office at 308 N. Capitol ave. Old slot machine covers, remnants of livelier days, are noticeable around the room. He doesn’t talk much about what he's doing now. Asked, “Are you in the slot machine business now, Bill?” he laughed for a minute, then looked around the office and remarked, “I've got a lot of real estate. I look after .it and that keeps me busy.” His candy firm has been located on N. Capitol ave., about two years, ever since former Police Chief Cliff Beeker sent some uninvited bluecoats to visit 15 S. Senate ave. his office location for years. No ‘candy is being sold now, Bill confessed, not for the past five years in fact, The office, he says, is just a storage place where he and his cronies sit and talk over the “good old days.”

United Press Staff Correspondent YOKOHAMA, Japan,~Sept. 15.—The biggest and most unusual military operation in history—the bloodless invasion of Japan—is proceeding smoothly and right on schedule. Of the Japanese home army of 3,000,000 who were prepared to resist American landings, now only approximately 1,000,000 remain under arms.

“I rejoiced to be one of 80 honored by appointment to the special attack corps when 300 others in the same school were found to be unqualified. My time had come, as I had expected,” he said. = His superior officers, he said, explained the necessity of dying for Japan, saying that unless these boys did their duty Japan would perish. Thereafter the 80 fortunate ones were kept together in the same barracks and had special care such as better food and - clothing and extra pay, but they were never allowed to leave camp nor write their parents. The fact that they belonged to the kamikaze was a secret from

TAKABAYASHI'S class expected to go into the Okinawa action, but another class was honored with that assignment. When four of his friends failed to return from a mission, Takabayashi said, he felt

happy for them.

On the night Takabayashi was alerted he was presented a new flying jacket emblazoned with rising sun emblems. He took his Samurai sword which they were permitted to carry on a mission or not, as they wished. He said his only feeling on receiving his

orders was one of tension. “How do you feel now?” I asked.

Voice of Inexperience

SUCCEEDING geniuses of no experience in aviation were all writing learned treaties on each and every phase of aeronautics, while the real aeronautical brains of the country were employed by the aircraft industry to turn out real aircraft and engines forthe

development of private flying.

One of the seven wonders of the air world is how men who are not pilots, absolutely inexperienced and unfamiliar with aviation, and who never held a responsible job in this specialized activity, can become aeronautical experts overnight by political appoint ment. And yet, that's the record. * And it has been

going on for years.

There must be a house-cleaning of the CAA, start~

(2) Because radium is so rare, so expensive and so dangerous to handle, scientists sought to make other elements, such as calcium, phosphorous and sodium, an element in common table salt, radioactive, so they could be used to fight cancer, luekemia and other diseases. To make common elements radioactive, scientists had to smash the hearts of atoms, In 1919 Sir Ernest Rutherford directed a beam of alpha particles from radium toward the atoms of nitrogen, the most common gas

Demobilization of Japanese forces is proceeding with the utmost celerity, probably the speediest dismantling and dispersal of such a huge force in military annals. However, since not more than 100,000 Americans now are ashore, Whe Japanese armed force still heavily outnumbers the Americans. Therefore the occupation is proceeding quietly and unostentatiously without pomp and circustance in order to avoid any “incident.” » u - GEN. DOUGLAS MacARTHUR rules Japan with a power seldom wielded by any czar or potentate, including the power of life and death.
