Inside Indianapolis
OUR ITEM HERE about a papa who got soaked twb-bits for an ordinary balloon brought a ecard from Mrs. John E. Grigsby, 321 N. Washington
st., Bloomington. -Mr. and Mrs. Grigsby were in town last week and they, too, put out that sum for two balloons for their three-year-old daughter. “My husband nearly had a fit!” Mrs. Grigsby wrote. The peddler, working in the downtown area, wouldn't sell one already blown up and when the parents got home and tried to inflate the balloon both turned out to be bad and burst immediately. Maybe. the balloons Were retreads. . . . Speaking of letters, we're puzzled by a query we received. - It reads: “I was drafted In August, 1945, and have served eight months to date. I would like to know how much longer the army can or will hold me?” It's signed Russ B. As for the “can,” the army can hang on to Russ until six months after the end of the emergency period. This period has to be declared ended by the President or congress. But that “will” is something else again.
Even Kind to. Snakes * BE KIND TO ANIMALS week came just a few days after the death of Prince, a black and white cat which had been the pet of Mr. and Mrs. Emil A. Schmidt, 4231 Sunset ave. for 18 years. Prince died Tuesday. The family was so fond of Prince that they had him shipped all the way from their former home in Attleboro, Mass, when they moved here April 15, 1932. Before they moved here from Massachusetts, Prince himself was kind to “animals,” if you can stretch a point to classify snakes as such. He used to bring little green snakes up to the house and play with them for hours, never hurting one. The Schmidt's still have one cat, Tabby, who will be 10 June 19, Tabby does more tricks than Prince could, but” Prince's place in the household can't be filled. . . . Some young Sunday fishers at Fall Creek blvd, near Shadeland bridge abandoned the customary poles and lines and resorted to using
§ bheir hands to lift fish out of small pools of water.
5 Raymond H. Field, who's driven a car 31 years by "his own count, got his first ticket the other day. Given a ticket for making a left turn, he got confused and went to the City hall instead of the police station lo pay. Mr. Field, who's public relations director of the American Legion, points out that he picked a poor time to make his first traffic blunder since there were two policemen standing right there in clear view as he mate the turn.

KENNETH LOUCK, who does all his golfing out at the Speedway course, agreed to do publicity for the
Reds’ Latin Gains
SANTIAGO, Chile, April 15.—Four years ago, Latin America ‘was without a single country that- had trade and diplomatic relations with the Soviet Union. Red Russia was considered an arch-enemy of the dominant Catholic church. It was viewed as a subversive influence undermining the world’s status quo. Today, the communism of Russia rapidly is becoming a most important new factor in Latin American life. Its stature is growing, its influence expanding. In Chile, Soviet Ambassador Dimitri Zhukov and a sizable embassy staff have arrived to take over the $350,000 palace of Valdivieso, just purchased for embassy .occupancy. dn conservative Argentina, President-elect Juan Domingo Peron is having conference with Soviet commercial representatives. For a generation Argentina has been considered a bulwark against communism, but. now Peron is going after an agreement to offset: the United States and Britain politically.
Transition Rapid ;
TEN OUT of 19 countries now have relations of one kind or another with the Soviets. The United States 5 course, recognized Russia first. The battle Stalingrad and Russia's part in the war did the rest. In several countries, the Communists are growing strong enough to threaten to grab power. The transition has been rapid. It has skipped an entire phase of history. Many Latin American countries have never experienced democracy as it is known in the U. S. They have had a continuing feudalism, labelled democracy. Now they are demanding something else. Working with the bottom classes, the Communists
__have gone on the march, They are much stronger
here than in the United States. Brazil, for instance, has been considered nonCommunistic. Yet the discredited Communist candidate for ‘the presidency last December polled 1,000,000 votes, between 9 and 10 per cent of the country's total. : Until Brazil held its election, Chile had claimed the largest Communist party ih Latin America.

NEW YORK, April 15.—War veterans planning to’
take flight training under the G. I. bill of rights are to be aided by facilities of the Civil Aeronatics administration. Administrator T. P. Wright announced today he had sent offers of co-operation to governors of all states. Under the law, he added, tlie states are responsible for designating schools as eligible for training contracts with the veterans administration, “Greater safety in pilot training can be assured. if flying schools follow certain minimum standards,” said Mr. Wright who cited CAA experience in training of 435,000 students under the Civilian Pilot Training program. “CAA approves and issues certificates to schools meeting such standards.”
Speed Certification
HE TOLD the governors that “the administration will do everything possible to insure prompt inspection in order to facilitate early certification of additional schools, if you belive that the adoption of CAA standards would assist you in your designation of flying schools to the veterans administration.” He urged veterans studying for a private pilot certificate, to take ground school training as well as flight Instruction, “The veteran,” he added,
My Day
HYDE PARK (Sunday) —John W. Snyder's ‘recent report on reconversion to the President, senate and house of representatives is interesting reading The papers have been so full of stories about strikes ‘it is very difficult for us to realize the simple facts
which Mr, Snyder sets forth—namely, more Americans are now working and producing more goods than ever before in peacetime history. In the first quarter of 1946, civilian production was 154 billion dollars. On V-J day, production was 128 billion dollars; and in 1939, with the figures adjusted to show the purchasing power of the dollar in 1945, civilian production was 118 billion dollars. In thedfirst quarter of 1946, non-agricultural employment was 44.8 million. The spendable income after taxes for the first quarter of 1946 was 140 billion dollars.. On V-J day it was 141 billion; and in 1939, with figures adjusted again to show the purchasing power of the dollar in 1945, the spendable income after taxes was only 91 billion dollars,
Many Negro Veterans Unemployed THAT IS a pretty rosy picture, but in spots it. does not seem to be as happy as this report would indie cate. For instance, not long ago I saw in the paper that in New York state there are now 250,000 veterans who are Jobless, and that the U. 8. employment service feels this number will rise to 600,000 by mid-

summer. I feel wl sure one of the difficulties is that we are not enforcing the fair employment practices act. Therefore a good deal ol our unemployment is among our colofed weterans. I heard, for example, of one young colored man here in my neighborhood— a mechanic and coming from. a good family—who has been looking unsuccessfully for a job ever since he came out of the army. .
Many Want to Enter Business
THE U. 8S. employment service estimates about one-third of the jobs offered carry salaries of from $30 to $40 a week. Another third pay from $40 to $60 a week, with about 10 per cent below $30 and the| remainder above $60. ' So they are going to make a drive to reach the employers and urge them to employ more veterans Under the law, on his return a man must ‘be offered a job by his employer comparable to the one he gave up upon going into the service A great many men, howpver, seem fo have an urge to go into business’ for themselves.

Such a device might prevent many wrecks, particularly those due to absent-minded drivers -or drivers with poor judgment. It has also been suggested that radar might be added to trafic signal lights so that the’ radar would set the brakes if the driver tried to crash the light. Es (3) Radar can penetrate fog and smoke,
but it gan also tell the flyer of the presence of great masses of falling rain whipped up by atmospheric disturbances miles away.

(4) Taking advantage of the possibilities of viewing the distant approach of storms by means of radar, Army Air Service put radar into action over the
Pacific area during the war. A piece of radar equipment developed originally at Wright Field for blind flying was used to detect approaching storms from 100 to 200 miles distant, These weather observation. planes reported their information back to their bases every half hour. From the bases it was relayed to hombers and fighters flying dangerously near the storm area. ;
