Skowronek is the gardener. He dug up. some_two and three-pound sweet potatoes the -other day and they Jook more like loaves of rye bread. The threepounder is 12 inches ‘long and 12% inches in circumference. Some of them are even longer but not quite so big around. Mr. Sk ek’s daughter, Mrs, Walter McCreary, baked Some of the potatoes for

‘Sunday's dinner. That's what she intends to do with

the rest of them, too, because the first sample was delicious. , . The Hook drugstore at Pennsylvania and Washington sts. has been putting the finishing touches on the building the past few days.

Carrying chick= ens on streetcars seems to be a common practice anymore. Friday afternoon during the rush hour a woman had a hen tied up in a paper bag and was holding the fowl in her lap. Only the neck and bill of the chicken stuck through a hole in the sack. Every time the car stopped, the hen cackled. She practically scared the passenger next to her out of the seat the first time she let out a noise.’ ., One of the E. 10th street trolley riders told us about a cackling chicken, too. This one was in a basket in the front of the trolley. It didn't make much noise but kept two youngsters entertained on their ride home,

\ » Boys Given New Football Helmets IF YOU SAW a bunch of kids in shiny new helmets at some of the city parks Sunday, you can bet they were playing under the city recreation department's new football program. The boys really brought about the program themselves. About 200 of them showed up at the recreatjon department in the last two weeks and asked the city to sponsor league play, Twenty-six teams came out Sunday—14 of them teen agers and the other 12, grade school age. Park Board President Paul Brown says they got off to a “gratifying start.” With the new program also comes a new

. athletic organization. It's the Municipal Sandlot Ath~

letic association, organized by Recreation Director K. Mark Cowen, Wilbur Schumacher and other recreation officials. The association will solicit funds to purchase equipment for the grid teams. There are no city funds for this purpose. ... A car load of new leather helmets and dark red leather covered shoulder pads was hauled out to Brookside park for the first game Sunday. But the association still needs about $400 or $500 to buy enough equipment to go around. They figure there will be less injuries in the games

‘and in practice if the kids have the correct uniforms.

district, if Tokyo merchants can find the building materials with which to carry out their ambitious plans. Before the war, the Ginza.was the Tokyo equivalent of “Main st.” in a great American city. Neon signs blazed on its huge department stores and specialty shops. Then came the B-29’s. The 220 stores in the Ginza's eight-block area were reduced to 40. One hundred and thirty shops

were evacuated because of bomb damage, Ginza street merchants, eager to get in harness again; held a [4 luncheon over the week-end to ‘consider a proposal for building temporary structures, where business will be conducted as usual until permanent, fireproof buildings can be erected. They revealed that businessmen had contributed 3,000,000 ($200,000) to finance the project, which they hope can be completed by Christmas.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.—Department stores are be~ ‘ginning to sell light planes “over the counter”—just about two years ahead of predictions made a few months ago, And, as one light plane producer pointed out, “when the department stores begin selling anything, it's a matter of mass sales to the public at large.” Not only are they selling planes, but they also are planning on offering flying lessons, servic ing and airport facilities! Yeah, you also will be able to buy planes on time, just like. thousands of autoists have been doing in purchasing cars. Macy's in New . York, .and Wanamaker’s in New York and Philadelphia and Mendel's in Chicago were the first to announce merchandising of light planes ‘over the counter.” Wanamaker’'s began actual sales on Friday, Oct. §. Macy's on Sept. 23 announced intention to sell planes very soon,

Some as Low as $995

FIRST planes ;to be sold will include Piper Airerat’s Skycycle, J-3 Trainer and Piper Super Cruiser. The one-seater Skycycle will sell for $995, the Trainer for $2010 and the Super Cruiser, a three-seater, for $2995. . Piper reports 5000 orders already received for the Trainer and J5C Super Cruiser, Skycycle orders already are over 500, it is said. : ' Macy's will sell the famed “spinproof” two-seater

New York st, the other day, And there was grass growing about six inches high between the right front fender and the hood. It spread along the fender for about a foot. ,.. Moran (Okie-Dokie) Fisher has a new pet at the Feld tire shop. It's a full-grown chicken which he bought about three weeks ago but hasn't had the heart to kill. The chicken was tied to a post in the upstairs room of the tire shop and got all wound up in the string, Mr. Feld unwound her and since then the chicken has followed Moran and Jake around like a dog. She has a friendly cackle for them everytime they come near. . ., Christine Tucker, 735 Middle dr., Woodruff Place, was one airline passenger who really came in handy on a flight. She flew over to Ohio last week-end and was on her way back to Indianapolis Sunday. She had only 35 minutes left before the plane was to land here and more than 20 persons had to be served their dinners. When the stewardess came around, Miss Tucker asked if she needed some help and then pitched in with the serving like an old veteran. The passengers had a full course chicken dinner and were finished before they even neared Indianapolis. Miss Tucker is a former airline stewardess. But she was so busy helping out that she missed even tasting the chicken and wound up with just a salad for dinner,

The merchants invited Americans to the luncheon s0 that “we can get your ideas on building shops which will be attractive to yod." They explained that there were 30,000 contractors and laborer available for the job, but they seemed a bit dubious about the lumber supply. They were extremely hopeful that building materials would be made immediately available, however, so. that shops could be opened while the occupation troops were still souvenir-minded. The merchants admitted frankly that they were counting heavily on liberal spending by G. L's to get them back on their feet. They also were enthused about the idea, which, apparently, had just occurred to them, that Americans are more interested in “quality merchandise” than in gimcracks, which before the war were exported in enormous quantities to the states.

Set Two-Year Goal

THE MORE optimistic of the group confided their expectation that the permanent rebuilding of Tokyo's bomb-leveled business district could be started within two years. “After the 1923 earthquake, many of us thought it would be impossible ever to rebuild Tokyo,” suggested a contractor. “But it was done. Then the destruction was 100 per cent. Now it is only 60 per cent, so it is quite obvious that we can make a new Tokyo.”

speed of 110 miles per hour.’ It averages about 20,

miles to the gallon of fuel. The Ercoupe is advertised as the “first certified spinproof plane.” Some 8000 orders for this plane were reported some time ago.

Orders Total 80,000

INDICATIONS are that department stores all over the country will follow suit. It is known that a backlog of orders on all types of private light planes totals close to 80,000. °

Members of the industry have predicted that the light planes produced from now until the end of 1946 will exceed by many the total of 50,000. There

are now in excess of 15000 light planes owned by

private fliers in the country. ’

Inexperienced observers, thinking of the wartime

task of producing 65,000 warplanes in one year, have predicted that it would be impossible for the light plane industry to produce more than 25000 planes in 12 months, Turning out a heavy, medium or light bomber or even a fighter plane, armored and equipped with innumerable instruments, cannot be compared to turning out a comrhercial light plane, it is pointed out, There are more man hours in some of the tall assemblies of the large planes than in producing a complete light plane, Flying by the masses is right around the corner, even here,

SECOND SECTION

By VIRGINIA MacPHERSON United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 9.—~Charles Bickford, screen tough guy, turned suddenly sentimental today—with just a slight push from his press agent—and announced “The Star Spangled Banner” wasn't exactly the song he wanted his kiddies to pe singing as the national anthem. It’s too bloody, he declared. Why not have something more peaceful like “America the Beau-: tiful?” Bickford said he got the idea the other night when he heard both songs on his radio. So he

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1945

sat right down and wrote a letter to his congressman, Senator Sheridan Downey. And his press agent Immediately forwarded copies to all the newspapers. “I got to thinking,” Bickford said, “that ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is a great fight song. But now we're entering an era of peace. So why not change the national anthem to ‘America the Beautiful'?” There, he declared, was a peaceful song if he ever heard one, a song that sings of “good will, free~ dom, and love.” And Actor Bickford is just a little disappointed in his congressman for not having thought of it himself.

Anthem ‘Too Bloody’ —Wants New One

“What would we rather have our children, and our children’s children sing in school?” he demanded. “‘.,.. And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in alr... * or ‘Cod shed ‘his grace on thee, and crown Thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea'?” Bickford said he didn't intend any disrespect to “The Star Spangled Banner,” (Heavens no! added the press agent.) “It describes one of the most glorious moments in our entire history,” Bickford went on. “But we are now entering a still more glorious stage—a stage that will find us a world leader, champion-

ing the rights and freedom of the individual.” As for him, he said, he wanted his children to forget about “bobs bursting in air.” He'd rather have their childish voices give out with d crown Thy good with brotherhood. , . .” “If you are in accord with my idea,” Bickford wrote. Senator Downey, “may I respectfully suggest that you draft ‘a new national anthem bill’ and introduce it in’ the senate?” And, added the press agent, it wouldn't hurt his feelings any if Mr, Downey told the senate whose idea it bad been in the first place!

To See Aims Of Americans

By WALLACE R. DEUEL

Times Foreign Correspondent

VV ASHINGTON, D.C, Oct. 9.—The fact that Americans are the kind of human beings they are is causing an awful lot of complications in American foreign relations these days. It is causing most spectacular complications in American rela

tions with Russia. bo Three quali ties of American human nature are playing big parts in American foreign relations: First, there is the fact that most Americans like Germans. y: They get along with them betMr. Deuel ,.. than they do with any other foreign peoples. There are several reasons for this. One of them is a complete misunderstanding by many Amer~ icans of what Germans are really like,

» » » A SECOND American quality that is causing complications in foreign relations is the sheer inability of most Americans to stand by idly and watch human suffering especially when there is anything they can do about it. Third, there is fact that Americans are strong individualists. They don’t stand in much awe of high policy or any other form or display of authority or discipline. » ~ » THESE qualities in American temprament plus certain others are playing hob with American policy in Germany and, therefore, with American relations with Russia, : They are doing so because they are helping cause Americans in Germany to be more friendly and kind to the Germans than to any- ~ body else in Europe. And this, inv turn, makes the Russians suspect us of -most sinister plotting against them, "= ” HIGH German policy on Germany is tough. But most Americans in Germany don't even know what high policy is, any more than most people in this country-—or anywhere else—know, And even if the Americans in Germany did kpow what the policy is, they might not pay too much attention to it, Many, if not most, Americans in Germany also, are much impressed by the suffering they see around them. » » » THE RUSSIANS have blind spots, too, just as we do. They can't quite believe that Americans can really like Germans as much as them seem to. Nor can the Russians believe that Americans will violate order from above as freely as they do. » » » 80 THE Russians are apt to suspect that the orders from above may &xplain American conduct in Germany. They are apt to believe that our kindness and friendliness toward the Germans are part of a plan to build up the reich as a bulwark against the Soviets.

TRANSITIONAL RULE— Jap Cabinet To Fill Gap 'Til Election

By LOUIS F. KEEMLE

Times Foreign Correspondent The new Japanese cabinet is generally recognized as “liberal” in complexion, but too much cannot be expected of it. The term is comparative.
