THE SHIPMATES of Lt. (jg) E. K. Reed, son of Mr, ‘and Mrs, William S. Reed Sr, 1121 Larch st, may not know it but they've helped Lt. Reed’s famfly through a difficult time. ,.. After Lt. Reed, a graduate of Indiana university and former Bloomington high school ‘instructor, was reported missing in March, 1045, his shipmates got busy. ... They prepared a sort of a scroll dedicated to “The Bear,” their nickname for Lt. Reed. In part it said: “During

his tour of duty with us he was one of the best liked «©

members of the ‘squadron. .., In the capacity of welfare officer he was always lending a sympathetic ear to every man’s troubles. . . , His fine tenor. voice made the parties gayer and his, unflagging good nature helped in many a tight place.” , . . The shipmates gave other praise to Lt. Reed, ending with “None of us shall forget “The Bear’ is ‘missing’ when it comes to settling the final accounts with the enemy.” , .. Lt. Reed's family was touched by the tribute, especially after last Saturday when they. received word their son has officially been declared dead. , .. The lieutenant, the brothér of William Reed, head of the police emergency squad, was lost on the. final mission before his carrier was to return to the States,

How to Build a House 2

. A CUSTOMER at the Indiana newsstand asked for “one of those new magazines on how to bulld a house.” , . , The clerk flicked a glance at the bunch of new magazines on this topic and commented: “If they keep putting out all these magazines on how to build ‘houses, no one’s gonna have enough money left to build one.” ... John Longsdorf, of the Indianapolis Power & Light Co. tells us that people who are snapping up all the post-war electrical equipment may run into a little trouble, «++ A good 75 per cent of the residences in town are inadequately wired to provide enough juice to service all the appliances, he says. . : . Electrical wires are like water pipes, it seems, they have to be adequate to carry the needed power. . . . Result of putting a heavy load on an inadequate wiring unit is that the service gets choked off. . . '. The USO - didnt quit with the eng: of the war. . One of the nice things they're doing now 1s’ getting artists to tour hospitals and make sketches of convaleseent G. Is... . Then they make a photostatic copy and send one print, the negative (so additional copies can be made) and the original sketch to whomever the G. I. wants his picture to 80 to.... It's a good idea and a nicé surprise unexpectedly to receive a sketch of your favorite serviceman as an outright present. . . . Viadimar Horo-

HOLLYWOOD, March 20.—A reader wants to know what Hollywood looks like. ' This is a large order. So let us begin by describing its geography. It is a state of mind, bounded on the south by the city of Los Angeles (of which it is as much a part as Broad Ripple is of Indianapolis) and on the north by steep hills, between which are canyons leading to Universal and other movie lots. It is traversed from east to west (and back again) by Hollywood and other boulevards, especially Sunset. This” last was once a cowpath and after winding like the Colorado river, goes underground at its eastern end, getting into a tangle with downtown Los Angeles, from which I have not yet succeeded in extricating it. West of Hollywood, it becomes “The Strip,” along which are most of the night spots, such as Ciro’s and Mocambo, where the tourist is given a purgatorial brushoff before being allowed to scatter his cash.

Homes ‘Clinging to Rocks’ ABOVE THE boulevard at this point is high ground, dotted with homes and clinging to the rocks in a way that suggests the French Riviera. Below it, to the south, is a scene—especially at night—which makes you think of the second act of “Louise.” At one end of Hollywood blvd., running parallel to Sunset, is Graumann’s Chinese theater, where the hand and footprints of ‘the renowned are preserved in

concrete. (I'm thinking of having my fingerprints

! . ® Aviation : NEW YORK, March 20.—Available range of supersonic testing ‘speeds of more than 2600 miles per hour —3.6 times that of sound—are now in sight, a report from the National Advisory Committee for Aero‘nautics revealed today. They will be made in a new supersonic wind tunnel now nearing completion at the Ames Aeronautical Laboratory at Moffett Field, Cal. Simultaneously it’ was announced that its 1500-mile-per-hour wind tunnel, largest in the United States, Is in operation at the same field. It is designed to operate exclusively above the present limit of humian flight imposed by the velocity of sound— approximately 760 miles per hour. Until recently this speed was penetrated only by pilotless projectiles. Tests now will be conducted upon models of guided missiles and jet and rocketpropelled aircraft, it was announced.

Supersonic Speeds IN THE completed wind tunnel accurately-made steel models are mounted in the three-foot-square test section of the supersonic tunnel. Air is forced through this constricted channel at as much as twice the speed of sound, simulatihg the conditions encountered by a supersonic aircraft. ; Electric motors totalling 10,000 horsepower drive four three-stage centrifugal compressors at a constant Speed of 5350 revolutions per minute. Large watercooled radiators reduce the heat caused by compression as the air is passed through them.

My Day

PHOENIX, Ariz. (Tuesday) —Driving around today, I realized what a wonderful farming country this is when you bring water to the land. Even

“ mmong the orange and grapefruit groves, arrange-

ments are made for letting in the water, which comes all the way from Roosevelt dam to make this fruitful valley green and profitable. Land around here costs about $1500 an acre. One acre of cauliflower will give you a good-sized year's Income. Across the way from Mr. and Mrs. Walter Douglas’ house, where I'm staying, I noticed quite an area of grape vines and was told they were those green seedless grapes that have become so popular. Last year, $20,000 was made from this particular piece of ground. Mr. Douglas ships hundreds of carloads of grapefruit and oranges. I walked a little way into his orchards and had a view also of date palms, with the dates actually hanging from them. I've always before thought of dates in packed boxes in grocery stores, never hanging in great bunches from trees, with paper bags over them to keep the birds away.

Intensive Cultivation Pays

I ALSO SAW an orchard of olive trees this mornJing and was told that, olives are very scarce at the moment and are bringing high prices. This is certainly a part of the world where intensive cultivatiom of small acreage brings good results, Of course, there are also the, larger ranches for citrus fruit and beef cattle. The milking cows look pretty poor. That, I imagine, is due to the fact that there is no very good..pasturé for them, and feed is expensive, The population of the state is increasing by leaps

SECOND SECTION

By LARRY STILLERMAN INDIANAPOLIS folks are getting impatient. ™ From Pearl Harbor to V-J day, they were war-minded, not civicminded. : They winced, but winked, at debris-littered streets, junk in alleys, chutk-holes and rough railroad crossings. There was a war on. 1 But now there's ‘a war off. They're fed-up with muddy and bumpy streets, promiscuous dymping grounds, insanitary areas. They have been bombarding The Times with phone calls and letters, demanding action. In some spots, ‘| where the white light of publicity has focused, there has been action.

IF OPA'S latest plan to boost the clothing output by authorizing high er prices for cotton textiles brings results, there -aren't likely to be many kicks from housewives over the fact that shirts and house dresses will advance in price approximately 10 to 15 cents, shorts about eight cents, etc. . The housewife is practical enough in matters of economy to see that if OPA gets low-cost cotton clothes back on the market in adequate numbers, she is going to be better - off.

® 8 = WHAT does it matter if a cotton house dress does cost 15 cents more than the ceiling price has been in the past, if she is able to get the cotton house dress instead of having to buy ah unsatisfactory rayon sub= stitute at a much higher price? Then, too, these numerous shop= ping trips the housewife has had to make in order to find what she needs haven't been cheap.
