poh, Ap. RI-5861, Re Give Light and the People Will Find Thoir Own Way KEEP CHILDREN OFF THE STREETS IF the park board goes through with its apparent intention of imposing new fees and increasing charges for use of the public recreation system of the city, thousands of youngsters will be forced to play in the streets or to resort to unsupervised recreation. . That not only is physically dangerous, but defeats the purpose of the board's excellent program of ptoviding supervised play activities. It has been demonstrated that juvenile delinquency is cut drastically by organized play facilities. Will the board act, in the face of that fact, to make it harder for children to use these tax-supported facilities? On the board’s side of the question, which is to be considered Wednesday' evening, it needs more income to run the park system. But the children of the city sheuld not be made to pay the penalty. If little Johnnie has to pay 25 cents every time his sand-lot baseball team steps onto public park diamonds, and his friends have to pay increased swimming fees—and consideration also is being given to charges for playing tennis and pitching horseshoes—they will play ball in the streets or swim in the creeks and rivers, and the accidént rate will mount with new automobile deaths and drownings. Should it be necessary to cut somewhere, it should not be in activities that so vitally affect the character-building recreational system. :

OUR ARMY : GLOWING tribute was paid Saturday to the United States army. For that was Army day. : Honest men will call it the army-that-used-to-be. None of us can take pride in what has happened to it since VJ day. : Without plan, without blueprint, we have stripped the army ‘of its manpower. With reckless disregard for the future of a troubled world, we have all but wrecked the splendid machine which overcame armies of oppression on two continents. A permanent volunteer regular army—essential if America is to ‘assume her responsibilities of leadership in the post-war world—still has not been achieved. Eight months after the Japanese surrender, we police occupied countries with battalions and regiments of conscripts. “Much of the fault lies with the army high command. Much of it lies with congress. A great déal of it lies with the public. : If we content ourselves with expressing satisfaction in the achievements of an army-that-used-to-be we will accomplish nothing. Better that we look ahead to an army-yet-to-be-born, an army of volunteers, an army of men freely choosing to . serve their country. : Better that we also make up our minds to back up that army with a constantly refreshed reserve of trained citizens under a long-range, basically democratic program of universal military training.

SALARY RAISE FOR TEACHERS MORROW night, the school board is scheduled to con-

y sider a new schedule of pay for classroom teachers which, if adopted, will remedy some of the inequities which have imposed hardship on faithful and competent public servants. We sincerely hope the board will adopt this schedule, in line with a general policy of making the teaching profession more attractive financially. The penalty “for not doing so is loss of some present teachers and a falling off in the already small number of persons studying for that profession. iY : ~ As The Times has pointed out repeatedly, it is false gonomy to operate our schools with an under-paid staff. The teachers have suffered low salaries long enough, elsewhere in the state as well as in Indianapolis. In considering the schedule, it would be well for the

"Stay-Away Voter Is ‘Destroyer’ Who Invites Wars and Depression"

By W. Scott Taylor, Indianapolis It seems to be more than a mere coincidence that, immediately following the passing of “One World” Willkie, Franklin Roosevelt and his man Friday, Harry Hopkins, in whose good intentions Marshal Stalin had complete confidence, war-breeding animosities were resumed on both sides: Gone are peacemakers and there seems to be no one able to stem the tide towards war, This brings up the question: What is a “conservative” such as now conspire with the profiteer and the warmonger to destroy the savings of the people with inflation and cause 80 per cent of our women to regard war as inevitable, as shown by the public opinion polls? v A “conservative” who would be

_{our neighbors—who for all we know

better named if he was called “destroyer,” is the product of the indifference of the average voter to the elections held for senators and congressmen at times when no’ President is up for election. It is the stay-away voter who will provide us with another century of the uncommon man—with his wars and depressions, his ruined commerce, crushing war debts and “inevitable” world catastrophes. ; Take Indiana for instance—a state which with two exceptions has been represented in congress by conservatives of the most de structive type. The two exceptions are Charles M. LaFollette, Republican, of Evansville, and Ray J. Madden, Democrat of Gary. They

votes in congress that they are the real conservatives who support a sound economy based on full employment and a rising standard of living for the common man, together with a lastirig peace founded on an international policy of “live and let live.” There is no partisanship in this statefhent—either one of them, ‘tlle Republican or the Democrat, should be the next senator from Indiana. » » » “RETURNING VETERANS DO NOT GET REAL ASSISTANCE” By A Veteran, Indianapolis What is America going to do about veterans, lucky enough to get a home, but who can not get a job s0 they may keep their home?

FATAL DEFECT ONGRESSMAN KNUTSON, a Minnesota Republican,

proposes a 10 per cent cut in federal income taxes to

be hooked up with a $10 billion cut in government spending. |

Side Glances—By Galbraith

That would be a welcome deal for the taxpayers. And the treasury’s revenue loss would be much less than its economy gain. But Mr. Knutson's idea has a fatal defect: The present machinery of congress, makes it impossible to guarantee that the $10 billion, or any part of it, would be saved. x The revenue-raising and the appropriating committees of congress aren't co-ordinated. It would be easy and politically popular for the revenue committees to write, and for congress to pass, a bill reducing taxes. But government spending also. is popular with

large and powerful groups. There would be great pressure |.

on the appropriating committees and on congress not to reduce appropriations, with no way of binding them to resist this pressure. . _ There is a remedy for the defect in the Knutson plan. It is one of the excellent recommendations in the La Follette-Monroney report on how to bring congress up to Here's what it would do: nee, !

By C. Whitmere, Indianapolis In answer to J. M. of Indian-

apolis who had an article in your paper concerning radio advertising.

It should be realized that radio depends entirely on ads to keep going and if it weren't for these commercials J. M. can’t stand there would be no entertainment. (The reason J. M. said the radio was purchased for in his home). S Now, if J. M. hasn't caught on yet, I'll go over the last paragraph of his article. He stated that the radio needs “cleaning up” and that crime stories like movies are bad for our children, That is being just a little old-fashioned. Crime stories are especially (in the majority of cases) prepared for the enjoyment of children. If J. M. disbelieves this a good example is: Listen at 11 Saturday morning over WIBC! Just listen, J. M., and then crawl back in a hole with your head hung low. “I'm sorry your “pleasure” as you put it is being “spoiled.” But even the best can’t always have what they want. No, not even you, J.

By William J. Goff, 2414 Guilford ave. Maybe The Times can tell me what thé caution light on an automatic traffic light is supposed to be. I'm asking this because some of our traffic police contend ‘that such a caution light is exactly the same as the red or stop light. Now, all I'm interested in is if the two are the same here in Indianapolis or is the police fund so low that people here must continue to donate two, three or five dollars for stich caution light violations, A word of explanation might be in order since I'm very much aware and heartily dislike the driver that shoots across an intersection before the GO signal flashes. Can you help me figure it out? Editor's note: Red, when shown in the center lens of a three-lens signal, means the same as the amber or yellow caution light. When the red caution light is shown with the green “go” signal, traffic facing the signal should stop before entering the intersection unless so close to the intersection that stop can not be made in safety, according to the Indianapolis traffie code. ?

IT TICKLES this department to be able to report that the building that used to house Jacob Efroymson's little dry goods store is still standing. It looks none the worse for wear. Indeed, except for its present sign (that of the Robbins coffee people), the old building looks just as it did 60 years ago when I was a little boy, I always counted it. an adventure when .mother invited me to accompany her to Mr. Efroymson's store. Half of the store, 1 strongly suspect, belonged to his wife because invariably when we showed up, Mrs. Efroymson was behind the counter, too. The Efroymsons had their store on the east side of 8. Meridian st. just south of McCarty (present No; 821). 1t wasn't as easy to find as it sounds for, if I remember correétly, the little establishment never carried a sign, nor did it have display windows.’

Attractive Smells of Merchandise THERE WAS no mistaking the place, however, once you got into it. You could tell it was a dry goods store with your eyes shut. As soon as you opened the door, your nostrils picked up the clean and virtuous smell of calicos, ginghams and muslins. Of woolens and linens, too, Sixty years ago it was the most ingratiating smell in Indianapolis unless perchance, it was the odor locked up in H. H. Lee's tea stores, Indeed, it always struck me that Mr. Lee. and Mr, Efroymson ran some kind of a race as to who could have the better smelling store. Mr, Efroymson, however, had some talents Mr. Lee didn't have. For one thing, he could appraise the quality of linens simply by running his moistened finger over them, And he could figure the tensile strength of muslins using no other tools than the feel of his tongue, . I remember, too, Mr. Efroymson’s method of measuring goods. He held one end of the bolt of cloth with his left hand to the tip of his nose and stretched out the other hand as far as it would go. It measured exactly one yard, Mrs, Efroymson could do the same trick which was even more remarkable because her reach wasn't anywhere that of her husband's. Once, I remember, I was mean enough to check up on Mrs. Efroymson when we got home. Believe it or not, her yard measured 36% inches. ~ It wasn’t the only instance of Mrs. Efroymson’s big heart. I recall another occasion when Mrs. Efroymson was waiting on a tired looking woman buying a bill of goods, the elements of which (I have since learned) represented the bare essential of a layette. She stopped buying when the two silver dollars

WASHINGTON, April 8. —One of the more involved conflicts in congress is the effort to stop the use of grain by distillers and brewers during the present period of food shortages throughout the world. The charge that this is a disguised prohibition movement doesn’t check. : The-resolution to ban the use of grains for manufacture of liquors was introduced by Democratic Congressman Jerry Voorhis of California. Voorhis doesn’t object to having it said that he takes a drink now and then, though he really doesn’t care for the stuff. What he's trying to do, he says, is primarily to get more grain for human consumption and secondarily to get more grain for his chicken and dairy farmers. In the senate, an- identical resolution has been introduced by Republican George D. Aiken of Vermont, who says that, though he isn’t a drinking man himself, he thinks prohibition would be unwise. At its closing session in Atlantic ‘City, the UNRRA council passed a resolution recommending that all countries curtail drastically the use of grain for beverages and non-food products. British Food Min‘ister Noel Baker announced that the United Kingdom had already completely stopped the making of Scotch whisky. The emergency is that serious, In the United States, brewers and distillers were cut back all through the war, and they are still operating under department of agriculture orders which limit their production.

4,000,000 Bushels a Month BREWERS MAY NOW use only 70 per cent of the amount of grain they used last year, and they may have on hand only 16 per cent of the grain they used in 1945. In other words, a two-month inventory is the limit. Currently, brewers are using about 4,000,000 bushels of grain a month. Distillers are hit harder. For the next three months they have been ordered to operate at only five days’ mashing capacity per month. Distillers are allowed certain latitudes. If a manufacturer has

NEW YORK, April 8.—S8itting here in my 1839 suit, with the wind whistling through the holes in the seat and the buttons dangling loose on foursack drawers, I have been doing a slow burn -ever since the Custom Tailors’ Guild of America selected the 10 best dressed men in America—and included an inventory of what makes ’em eligible. According to the list, they are not only the best dressed, but the only 10 men in the nation with that many clothes. : To listen to the tailors, you have to own the following items of clothing, or you are socially dead: Three sports jackets (solid colors); eight pairs of slacks (both solid and plaid); six business suits; two topcoats (one camels’ hair, one blue); two overcoats (one brown or gray, one blue); one summer tuxedo, which has a gfay jacket and blue pants; one regular dinner jacket of London blue; six hats, and 12 pairs of shoes—six business, four sports and two for dress.

Wardrobe of the Average Male CUSTOM TAILORS' GUILD didn't say whether your BVD’s should be made of hand-stitched satin, or what you were going to use for shirts, Listen here, Custom Tailors’ Guild, and I will tell you what the wél-dressed man of 1946 is wearing, from top to toe. We will start with the suit. The coat is a natty “Harris tweed number, with leather scuff-pads at the elbows, moth-hole in the collar, and a well-defined aroma of dry-cleaning. It

WASHINGTON, April 8.~What many members, of the United Nations refer to as the “inexcusable delay” in drafting the peace, is widely regarded as the biggest existing single obstacle in the way of normal international relations. After world war I a definitive treaty of peace was concluded with Germany within less than eight months after the armistice. It is now 11 months since "the war ended in Europe, yet not a single peace treaty has been signed.

Uncertainty Over German, Jap Pacts EVEN THE Paris peace conference scheduled for May 1 will not bring a general peace settlement. It will deal only with Italy, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria and Hungary, When the main treaties will be concluded with Germany and Japan no one in authority dares predict. . Meanwhile the world is left to drift. Many frontiers remmin undefined. Along some, as between Italy and Austria and Yugoslavia, troops are drawn up as if in readiness to march at any moment. A dangerous and bloody incident could happen at any time. For such adventurers the existing state of aflairs is made to order just as it is for any big nation with

wrapped in her handkerchief were spent. However, she left the store loaded down with packages, most of Which were gifts presented to her by Mrs. Efroymson who, apparently, knew exactly what was required to launch a‘baby in this world. Mr. Efroymson, I distinctly recall, looked on approvingly during the whole transaction, ; : : Mr, and Mrs. Efroymson acquired their profound knowledge of babies honestly enough. They had five - of their own—four boys and one girl. When stood uo in a row, the line of their heads looked uke an inclined plane of about 20 degrees; which is by way of saying that the elder of the kids was about eight years

"she senior of the youngest. One of the prettiest pic-

tures on the South Side back in the Eighties was the’ sight of the five Efroymson kids on their way to séhool No. 6 in the morning. With their arms interlocked, they took in the whole width of the pavement sweeping everything before them. They repeated the performance at noon when they returned home to have their dinners.

Family of Merchants THE EFROYMSON family lived on the second floor above the store, Besides the stairway connecting the two floors, there was another contraption with a bell at the end of it, the manipulation of which brought Mrs, Efroymson rushing from her kitchen when business démanded it. With such interruptions, you'd naturally jump to the conclusion that Mrs, Efroymson’s dinners could amount to nothing more than sketchy affairs. Nothing of the sort. They were among the most substantial served on the South Side at the time, They had to be not only because of the appetites of the five growing kids, but also because of the store's customers. Mr. Efroymson’'s clientele extended as far south as Johnson county and any farmer who made that long trip to trade with Mr. Efroymson could depend on getting one of Mrs. Efroymson's din= ners in return for his trouble. The old Efroymson store of my childhood is still going strong. To be sure, it’s now a department store located on the other side of S. Meridian st. (918-926), but it is still run by an Efroymson—Philip who, if I remember correctly, was one of the younger of the group. And while I'm at it, I might as well reveal the names of the other kids. They did right well, too. Gustave, the oldest, is now president of Real Silk Hosiery Mills, Inc., with interests in God knows how many other things; Meyer (of blessed memory), ran the Star store until a fortnight ago, and Louis commands two clothing establishments in Indianapolis. As for Jennie, the only Efroymson girl, she turned out to be the wife of Louis Wolf, who presides over Wasson's.

six stills, he may shut down five and operate th sixth continually, 30 days a month. * The big catch here is that distilling capacity was greatly increased during the war years to make industrial alcohol In January, 1941, 16,000,000 gallons of spirits were distilled, and 6,000,000 gallons were withdrawn from warehouses for sale. In January, 1946, operating at a rate of only one-third, or 10 days’ mashing capacity per month, the industry distilled 26,000,000 gallons of spirits, and withdrew 16,000,000 gallons for sale. Present restrictions will cut this production in half, but even so, it will consume 2,250,000 bushels of grain per month.

No Wheat for Beverages GRAINS THAT MAY be used by distillers and brewers are limited. No wheat or wheat products may be employed for beverage making. Only number four grade or poorer quality corn may be used. Oats

and barley may be employed up to quota restrictions, “&

but only 6 per cent of the grain used may be rye. Some low-grade rice grits are being used by brewers, No grain at all may be employed for making industrial alcohol. UNRRA has asked for 150,000,000 bushels of grain to avert famine. While the total amount of grains used by U.S. brewers and distillers measures large in bushels— 250,000,000 was the 1945 total—it represents only 5 per cent of the total U.S. grain crop of 5,000,000,000 bushels. And,.in their own defense, brewers and distillers say that the dry grain left after the mash has been made and the beer drawn off is a livestock food just as nutritious, pound for pound, as is the original grain. Charges that brewers and distillers are paying no attention to any of the restrictions now imposed on them are denied by the department of agriculture. Compliance with orders is enforced by the treasury’s alcohol tax unit, which gauges all still and brew runs.
