POLICE squad car No. 20 pulled into the driveway of an empty filling station at Sherman. dr. and_E. Washington st. yesterday afternoon, At the wheel was ‘a smiling face tha has made hundreds of wounded veterans from Billings and Wakeman hospitals happy. . . . It belonged to James E. (Jim) Payne, Indianapolis patrolman, through whose energetic endeavors the hospital patients have received everything from uniforms for various sports to choice seats at the Indianapolis Coliseum for the hockey games. . . ..Since it was an impossibility for a policeman to neglect his job during working hours, Jim Payne had to be interviewed in the prowl car. So with his partner, Charles Burton, as the third party and the East Side as our “prowling” grounds we wound our way through the streets and talked. . .. Jim Payne was a veteran himself and he knew what the score was, He knew that many of the wounded at Billings and Wakeman were well enough on their way to recovery to obtain passes and have a little enjoyment. But he also knew that many of the beds at the hospitals were still filled there with wounded Bex who were unable to get around without supervision.

Saw Exercise Need BACK IN 1943, following his discharge from the army (he was 27 months with the Second infantry division), Jim Payne came to the realization that wounded men needed exercise as well as medical care, Bo he decided to do something toward getting them that exercise. . . . He knew if young meh had softball uniforms they would play softball. Starting among his friends and contacting businessmen, Jim Payne soon had enough donations to purchase 30 sets of uniforms. The “casualties,” entering a league at Ft. Benjamin Harrison, walked off with top honors, « « + Later, when the men wanted one of those huge “pushballs,” Jim Payne went to work again, collected $125 (cost of the ball) and had one sent from New York. . . . Came the basketball season and the boys at Billings had 50 uniforms, thanks to the “sales” ability of Patrolman Payne. . , ., Jim started to explain about the seats for veterans at the hockey games when a car without any license plates passed us. . .. The squad car surged forward after the driver but it took a couple of “whirrs” of the siren to stop him. The man had the license all right but hadn't bothered to attach them to the car... . The matter settled, Jim Payne started to tell how the patients expressed a desire to see the hockey games. Going to the Coliseum, the patrolman found he could purchase 25 reserved seats for the price of the federal tax only if he paid $1.20 each for 25 more. . . . That meant more requests for money from citizens but Jim Payne got it. And it proved so popular that Wakeman hospital at Camp Atterbury asked if the same thing couldn't be done for their boys. .. . Jim said sure and went “bumming” again. For $70 a game he could provide 100 boys with a night of recreation each time the Caps played here. . . . He got the money all right and on top of the $70 managed to gbtain a “refreshment” fund for the boys. . :

Study of Cycles

PALM SPRINGS, Cal—In my baggage is 8 monograph by Edward R. Dewey, director of the Foundation for the Study of Cycles, New York. To this I refer when study of current events gets

me too far down. There is refreshment in its reassur- ,

ance that whatever you or I or Harry Truman does, the world will proceed in its foreordained rhythms. The heat of the sun, for example, fluctuates in the form of a compound rhythm, one of the component parts of which is exactly 40.8. months. This 40.8month wave in solar radiation is so clear and strong and regular that the odds have been computed as one in 250,000 of its being the result of chance. Says Dr. Dewey of this “Forty and Eight” rhythm, “This tendency for the recurrence of ups and downs at intervals of 40 to 41 months seems to be basic in our economy. Out of more than 500 different kinds of economic series which have been analyzed, more than half show a tendency toward rhythmic fluctuations of something like this interval.

Cites Stock Quotations “A BASIC wave of this length is present for common-stock prices as a whole and for dozens of individual securities. It is present in figures of iron and steel production and in most of the business indices with which you are acquainted. It is true for the prices of many commodities and for the productipn and sales figures of many individual. corporations.” There are, however, other waves or cycles.

Science

THE TOWERING Andes mountains of South America may contain some of the world’s greatest deposits of oil. This is the opinion of the experts of the Ethyl Corp. They point out that South America is already the second largest oil producer in the world. However, there is reason to think that the undiscovered oil pools of the continent may be far greater than those now known. Evidences of the presence of petroleum are found the full length of the Andes. The snow-clad Andes extend 4500 miles from the Caribbean coast of Venezuela to Terra del Fuego at the southernmost tip of South America. Known oil fields now extend from northern Vene-

suela to central Argentina.

Mountains Inaccessible THE JOB of exploring the rest of the Andes, however, is a terrific one. For the mountains are almost inaccessible in most places and are cut by relatively few passes. Exploration to date has shown them to be a veritable treasure trove of minerals, including the greatest known deposits of copper and large deposits of platinum, gold, silver, tin, bismuth, mercury, borax, sulphur and vanadium,

My Day

LONDON, Feb. 8—The newspapers here have been ringing with protests because of the announcement that there would be a reduction in the butter and fats ration, and a return to the darker bread that was used during the war. I am glad that the United States is going to help Europe by reducing its own food supply, and that conservation measures are being planned to increase the surplus wheat we can ship abroad. My mind reverts to the last war, when every housewife was asked to use cornmeal instead of flour for at least one meal every day. Herbert Hoover, as food administrator, obtained a remarkable amount of voluntary co-operation. I still have many recipes for different kinds of cornbread which we used not only once a day, but often twice. The suggestion has been made to me that, if we had smaller loaves of bread, we might waste less, for a large loaf often becomes stale before we have used all of it. Because it is no longer good for table use and because the sugar shortage now makes it difficult to use stale bread for puddings or desserts, we throw it away.

Wear Dinner Coats Again THE OTHER evening, I went to a very pleasant dinner party, but I think Americans should realize how much normal life in Britain has changed andwhat it ‘means when an English family today gives a guest from overseas a dinner. ) r, Food being so Strictly rationed, there cannot be any great extravagance but, frequently, this one meal takes a whole week's ration of every member of the family, particularly ‘where meat or fats of any kind are concerned, #

James E. (Jim) Payne and his dog, Kenny. . .. Jim assured entertainment for wounded veterans.

Nurse Sent Along TRANSPORTATION was provided by special services at the two camps and a doctor and nurse were sent along to care for the wounded. . . . Since they had eight patients who were still in wheel chairs, a trailer with the eight chairs on it was taken along with the bus. . . . Jim started to tell about how they unloaded the wheel chairs when a radio call sent us scurrying to an East Side address for an investigation. It seems that a housewife had walked smack against a “no. parking” standard with a painful “shiner” as -the result. It wasn't the first time she had done it, either. . . . Continuing, Jim said the patients were wheeled to their special section at the Coliseum and despite their many and varied injuries, were among the loudest rooters at the games. There was only one “casualty” among the wounded men in transporting them back and forth. One veteran was awaiting an operation in which hs leg would have to be broken again because it had not been set straight the first time it was broken, The soldier slipped on the ice getting out of the bus and broke the leg just the way the doctors would have had to do it at the ‘hospital. . . . Besides all these activities, Jim Payne also is active in getting recognition for the Auxiliary Police corps and last summer was chairman of the Junior American Legion Baseball league, + + « Almost 35, Jim Payne is married and lives with his wife at 1338 Carrollton ave, Mrs. Payne, at present, is busy typing out “thank you” notes to send to those contributors who offered their money for Jim's plans.

He started out to help the wounded veterans on his own time and succeeded. —By Frank Widner.

Can't Alter Nature

THERE ARE people who believe that by taking sufficient thought we can iron out these sometimes disastrous fluctuations in values, productiof, trade and employment. But I have been unable to find any evidence that the natural laws of periodicity have been repealed. The sun still rises and sets. The moon waxes and wanes. Summer alternates with winter. The tent caterpillar comes every 11%; years. . ‘And the sun changes polarity every 23 years. We cannot, apparently, alter the scheme of nature. What we can do is learn how nature operates; and govern ourselves accordingly. Once we “get in tune with the infinite,” and accept the fact that depression follows boom as does the night the day, then we can arrange life here below in a fashion to ease the shock of change. Pending that happy day, we shall continue to put our faith in political slogans, stubbornly confident that by taking thought, we can add cubits to our stature. } We shall keep on in our present stupid course of putting government in charge of science—as in the case of the atomic bomb—when, obviously, we should put science in charge of government.

By David Dietz

The search for oil in South America has been intensified during the last year. This is due in large part to the depletion of known oil reserves as a result of the demands of world war IL Chile has engaged an American firm to make tests and sink experimental wells in Terra del Fuego, the

- islands through which Magellan sailed his ships in

his famous trip around the world.

Equipment Flown In

AT THE present time the most southerly known oil producing fields behind the Andes are the Neguen and Mendoza fields of Argentina. These fields, which have been in operation for years, have made Argentina the leading oil producer south of the equator, Peru has been producing oil for 60 years and has a flourishing oil-producing area on the Pacific. However, the government has now instituted new explorations in the Montana region, the vast area east of the Andes. The first favorable site in Peru's Montana was located by reconnaissance from the air, The site is a few hundred miles from the west coast port of Callao. However, the problem of extending a pipelirte from the oil field to the coast is an extremely difficult one since the line would have to rise over mountains more than a mile high.

Another difference in Britain's life was pointed up when my host said: “You know, Mrs. Roosevelt, when we knew you were coming, we had to get out our dinner coats. Most of us hadn't worn them since the beginning of the war, but now that the break has been made, it won't seem too difficult to dress for dinner again.”

Language Difficulties I HAD AN interesting meeting with the London staff of U. N. R. R. A..the other day. Most of the

staff are British, but there is .a sprinkling of other I talked for a little while and then they asked me questions, largely about the work

nationalities.

of the U. N. O. U. N. R. R. A, of course, has had very wide ex-

perience in working with various nationalities, and I was interested to find that they had many of the same difficulties that we assembly delegates have because Of differént languages and the different points of view that result from varying backgrounds. The language barrier was emphasized in one of our ‘committee meetings this week, because the secretariat was unable to furnish us with an interpreter. Quite a number of the delegates can understand a certain amount of English but, when they want the fine shades of meaning, it has to be translated. 1 find this rather a good thing, because you can’t really become excited when you have to say something first in English and then in French. You have plenty of time to think about your meaning, and even to make sure whether you believe 'strongly enough in the things you are talking about to

CAPEHART GIVES VOTE TO ALLEN

‘Hoosier Says He Is Doubt-| ful About Pauley.

Times Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 9'—Senator (Homer E. Capehart (R. Ind.) was one of three Republican members of the senate banking and currency committee to vote in favor of George E. Allen as director of the Reconstruction Finance Corp. Other Republicans voting favorably on thle committee report were Senators Capper of Kansas and Buck of Delaware. “I saw nothing in Mr. Allen's record upon which I could turn him down if he is the man President Truman wants,” Senator Capehart explained today. “Of course he isn’t a banker, but I rather prefer a man of warm sympathies in such a job rather than a cold-blooded banker type with ice water in his veins. “The fact that he holds directorships in numerous corporations doesn’t make any difference to me.” Mr. Allen has been President Truman’s unofficial adviser with an office in the White House. He also is rated as the chief court jester because of his story-telling ability. Mr. Allen listed dozens of corporations upon whose boards he serves .when he testified before the committee. Senator Capehart was in New York City attending a corporation board meeting himself so missed the hearing, he said. He has never met Mr, Allen, but expects to vote for confirmation of his appointment in the senate also. “I am not so sure about supporting President Truman's appointment of Edwin W. Pauley as undersecretary of navy,” Senator Capehart said. “My present thought is to vote against any oil man for that job.”

EX-ARMY CHAPLAIN EN'S CLUB SPEAKER

Col. John D, Duggan, former army chaplain of the 75th division, will be the principal speaker at the silver jubilee Lourdes Day

Lady of Lourdes church 6:30 p. m. Monday in the school audtiorium. The annual affair was instituted 25 years ago as the club's “ground hog” dinner. Col. Duggan was former chaplain of the 82d division, which trained at Camp Atterbury. He was transferred to the 75th division, where he served 18 months in the European theater and took part in the “battle of the Bulge.” Col. Duggan is a native of Buffalo, how on terminal leave. Cletus Broecker, president of the men’s club, will have charge of the dinner, while Paul Kervan, past president, will act as toastmaster.

Driver Escapes

A lucky driver, who escaped unscratched from an accident that might have been fatal, had veteran deputy sheriffs scratching their heads today. : . A medical corps officer at Ft. Harrison, Maj. R. J. Hoskins, stepped out ‘and walked away from a triple-threat crash that left his car a mass of twisted metal. Maj. Hoskins was driving at high speed west on 56th st., deputies said, when he lost control at Fall Creek bridge. His car crashed into the east end of the bridge, mangling the iron structure, rebounded and hit again in the middle damaging the railing, and again bounced off and struck the west end. The impact of the last crash turned the car completely around. Deputies Charles Wenz and Robert Wright, who investigated, said it was one of the worst wrecks

Col. Frank H. Meek said. “He sat back and did nothing while the atrocities were being committed.” The defense plea was that Homma was a well meaning and capable soldier who was the victim of the Japanese army's inefficient supply organization and poor training methods, The death march was pictured as an extreme example of Japanese inefficiency, and not a case of brutal, systematic torture. Col. Meek countered for the prosecution with a statement that Homma knew about conditions during the death march and later in prison camps, but didn’t care.

DARK BREAD’ PLANS PUSHED

Opposition to Emergency Program Mounts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8 (U. P).— The government went ahead today with its plans to put the nation on a “dark bread” diet despite rising opposition from millers, bakers and some congressmen. : Meanwhile, the special house food committee decided to investigate the entire wheat situation.

Chairman Stephen Pace (D. Ga.) said his committee would take up the wheat problem when it finishes hearings on butter and dairy shortages, possibly beginning the week of Feb, 18. x Protest against the administration's program centered on President Truman's order that millers must increase the amount of flour they get from wheat by cutting down on the quality. Millers claimed that this would not make more wheat available for shipment to the hungry peoples abroad. Bakers feared it might have a permanent effect on American eating habits and reduce bread consumption indefinitely. Nutritionists also clashed over the order. Some said the bread would be more healthful. Others claimed it might actually be harmful because of the higher bran content. Secretary of Agriculture Clinton P. Anderson was unperturbed. “Eighty per cent flour is not going to kill anybody and may help some people,” he said. He cited a statement by the department’s bureau of home economics that the emergency bread would have a higher food value than the present whiter loaves.

FINAL TIN PICKUP SET FOR NEXT WEEK

The end of the salvage program in Marion county will be marked by the final tin salvage collection the first four days of next week. Crews of the street commissioner’s department will make their final collections on Thursday. After that date the tin bins will be removed from the streets and tin cans must be disposed of through regular trash collection channels. Collections will begin on Monday in the northwest section of‘the city. The usual dividing lines, Meridian and 16th sts, will determine the sections. Pickups in the northeast section will be made on Tuesday, southeast on Wednesday and the final collection in the southwest on Thursday. o

We, the Wom Foreign Brides Stand in Need Of Friendship |

By RUTH MILLETT AMERICAN women shake their heads and say, with poorly concealed satisfaction, “Those marriages won't last,” whenever foreign brides of G. 1's come up for bridge table discussion. It has not seemed to occur to American women that, if they wanted to, they could do a lot to help ease the foreign’ brides, through the period of homesickness and strangeness that will face them when they try to settle down in their husbands’ country. r » » CERTAINLY, the marriage of an American and a foreign girl will stand a better chance of working out if the foreign wife is warmly and, helpfully received in her husband's community. It will be tough going for any foreign bride if the women with whom she has to live gang up on her, making fun of her ideas and way of talking, or if they show hostility because she took an eligible American out of the marriage market. So, ih a large measure, success or failure of marriages between G. Is gnd foreign girls will depend on whether or not American . women are friendly and helpful, f or superior and spiteful. " »
