| Inside Indianapolis

DOWN AT Indiana Central college they're pinning names right and left on Dr. I. Lynd Esch. ~ “He's one peach of a fellow,” his social acquaintances say. ‘There's no monkey business about him," his personal friends say. And “He's going over with a bang,” his faculty members and students say. Dr, Esch, who stands about 5

at 175 (he says it used to be much more than that), is Indiana Cen~ tral’s new president. He has been at the school for six months now and the longer they know him there, the better they like him. If he had to put down on paper all he has done in his 39 PS Tears. it would take a long, long Dr. Esch He's an old hand at farming, has an inkling about the law trade, can tell anyone what makes a Model T Ford tick, knows every minute operation in a rubber factory, held a professorship in a university, wrote some of the college's courses, did research work and preached from the pulpit of three churches. What's more, he claims he has been a United Brethren for “a hundred years.” He rapidly explained that his great-grandfather and on down the family tree had been members of the United Brethren church. Dr, Esc has long been a leader in the church, both in the young people's organizations and in adult functions. /

Popular With the Young

HE'S QUITE a mixer with the young folks. Not long ago he attended one of the church's summer camps in Illinois. But he came fully unprepared. It was tieless day and Dr. Esch came all dolled up in a tie and a shirt with a detachable collar. It didn't take him long to get rid of the tie and the collar, too. President Esch, who's very modest about his accomplishments, came to the University Heights college from the pulpit of the First United Brethren church in Los Angeles. Little did he know at the time of his resignation there that an Indianapolis minister, Dr. George F. Snyder, would be preaching in that same church now. . He and Mrs. Esch are comfortably situated in a home out on Otterbein ave. but they're planning to build one of these days soon. They ran into a little bad luck when they first came from California and were homeless for seven weeks. But Dr. and Mrs. Roy Turley, the college minister and his wife, “took them in” until a house was found. The Esches are still represented in California. Their

Rule by Women? By Helen Kirkpatrick

PARIS. —France, traditionally governed by men, may be a matriarchy in a decade if the present trend continues. French women, newly enfranchised, are disproving the confident statements by men that they are not interested in politics, This Sunday, women will vote for the first time in a national election and there is every indication that proportionally more women than men will vote. From the little “midinette,” who is learning the dress trade, to

of French women have a decided view on politics, if only the view that they must have an opinion. More women than men can explain to you what different parties and groups stand for and how proportional representation works. Men, having always had the vote, assume that they know what it is all about, whereas women, told that they know nothing about politics, have made it a point to study the various platforms. This is truer, naturally, in towns and cities than in rural areas, though even there, the peasant wife, working around the house and listening to the radio, is often better informed than her husband, who works all day in the fields.

More Women Than Men

THERE ARE more women than men among France's 42,000,000 people and this war, which took a tremendous toll of men—the best—in concentration camps and’ the maquis, has brought women definitely to the fore. For the first time women are occupying positions of first importance in government, in civic affairs and in commerce. Of Paris’ 46 theaters, 11 are directed by women in

the tradition of Pauline Virginie de Jazet, Sara Bern« °°

Aviation

THE FIRST peacetime job we've got to do in the flying business is to re-establish our pre-war pilot standards. This goes for airlines as well as for all other types of piloting. In war there is a break in cockpit rules. When the psychology of war creeps into the cockpit it brings with it a certain amount of abandon—not exactly carelessness, but rather the “cowboy” attitude. We have come through this war with far less diversion from the peacetime practices than some of us expected. But still, we have broken the pre-war rules. The first sign of a careless pilot is the one who insists on taxiing fast, or jamming his brakes to make quick turns on the ground, who btings his plane to a shuddering standstill. Such practices put undue strains on the structure of a ship. Wide-open throttles on a take-off are another yardstick of poor airmanship. We're encountering too many violations of our pre-war piloting standards. Of. course, there are master pilots who never waiver, just as there are people in other enterprises who hold to their basic standards irrespective of war or high water, These artists of the cockpit are not only a joy to other flying men, but they are a comfort to every passenger.

Dr. Esch of 1. CG:

Even before the I. C. president started to college, he had a successful business career behind him. He grew up on a farm near Flifiton, Pa, a little town whose population at the latest census stood at 301. After he was big enough to follow a plow around he practically ran his father’s farm. To this day the old farm is still operated by his 80-year-old father. At 15, Dr. Esch was handed his high school diploma and spent the next two years farming and reading hour after hour in his Grandfather Isaiah Gates’ law library. In those days there was nothing better than to browse though law books to get some preliminary legal training.

Warote Rubber Courses

BUT JUST about the time Dr. Esch thought hell the Indianapolis Athletic club.

knew at least some of Pennsylvgnia's legal methods, he moved to Ohio. He spent some time working as a garage mechanic but never got so far as owning one of the Model Ts he worked on. Then he went to the B. F. Goodrich Office and then on to Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. in Akron, O. \ Here in Akron Dr. Esch got his first college degree —the degree of master rubber worker from the Production Flying Squadron, Goodyear’s own special university. He stayed there nine years and during this time wrote the university's courses in rubber manufacturing, business organization and personality analysis. Even now he is quite well acquainted with many of the Goodyear executives. But he insists that that wouldn’t help a bit if he should ever need a new tire. The more he worked with the young men at Goodyear the more he felt that the developmient of the human personality was his vocation. And the ninistry was the best place to do just that. So he became ordained and since then has held pastorates in the Rockridge United Brethren church in Oakland, Cal, the First United Brethren church in San Diego and in the Los Angeles church, He came to Indianapolis well recommended. In fact, one of the University of Southern California deans said Dr. Esch would be qualified for any position that he'd be willing to accept. As far as his social life or hobbies, he hasn't had much time for either. He likes to do a little garden ing, although he hasn't tried his hand at it in Indian apolis. He manages to squeeze in a Kiwanis or Columbia club meeting and go to a good football game or basketball game in his spare time. But besides that, he’s just too busy to turn around.

hardt and Madeline Carlier. One-third of the barristers in the Paris high courts are women. Young Elizabeth de Miribel is the eyes, ears and mouthpiece of provisional dent Charles de Gaulle’s cabinet. Three organizations, with head offices in Paris and branches throughout the country, are working hard to inform women on political questions. The National Council of French Women, headed by Mme. Pichon Landry, is patterned after the Ameri. can League of Women Voters in its non-partisan membership. It combines leaders of political groups ke the Right Wing National union, the Women’s Socialist group and the Right Wing Resistance group. The National Union of Women, under the direction of Duchess De La Rochefoucauld, was the organization which fought for the vote for women for years and today is fighting a political battle of rights, representing the Democratic alliance and a Republican federation predominantly.

Union Is Powerful, Communastic

THE FRENCH women’s union is a powerful, wellorganized and highly-vocal group of Communists. On the extreme right is Mme. Gaston Tessier’s Civic and Social union, very right wing Catholic in its po-

litical coloring. Each of the political parties has its and women who have fought in this

women's section as well.

If there are women who. are inclined to say: “Ij

am not interested in politics,” they are not easy to find. French women today seem to have a highly developed civic sense, which is one of the characteristics most lacking in the French nation as a whole, according to its severest critics. : There is little evidence to support the male contention that women will vote more conservatively than men, for, though Communist women, like men, are better organized than members of any other party, women belonging to upper-income classes are often found well to the left of their husbands politically.

- What is constitutional freedom? That was the topic of a panel discussion following a dinner last night

The dinner and discussion pre-

in the English theater, at which Dr. Daniel L. ‘Marsh, president of Boston university, wag principal speaker. : Climaxing a series of Constitution observances during the week, last night's programs brought together religious, educational and business leaders of Indiana. Presiding over the panel discussion was Samuel R. Harrell, Indianapolis businessman, chairman of the National Foundation for Education in American Citizenship and inaugurator of Indiana's constitution-anni-versary observances five years ago.

James, Dr. David ©, Dennis, president of Earlham college; Dr. Clarence J. Manion, dean of the law school at Notre Dame university, and Dr. Roy Ewing Vale, pastor of Tabernacle Presbyterian church. Dr. Vale and Dr. Manion agreed that the constitution authorizes the community to teach religion. Mr, .Harrell stated that people's rights are secure because they are set forth in the definite and permanent form of the constitutidn. Dr. Manion criticized the excessive use of the term “democracy” in referring. to our form of government, which is more accurately described as a constitutional republic. He. stressed constitutional emphasis on sanctity of contract Mr. James decried growing federal interference with state functions, predicting that such interference might increase unless state governments made themselves more efficient.

Without bitterness she accepted sacrifies that only part of the population was called upon te make,

SHE knows it is going to plenty of time for the children and their father to become ade justed to each other, after a long . separation during which the father has had no responsibility foe the children and fhey have learned to make a mother the whole center of their existence,
