Speaking of barricades, the north sidewalk between Washington and Capitol sts. on Ken= tucky ave. is just like an obstacle race.

Private Plane Comes in Handy FOR AWHILE it looked as though the time change would leave an~unfilled speaking spot at the Cancer

_ Loan Cupboard breakfast tomorrow. Mrs. Olive Ens-

len Tinder was to review the book, “Madame Curie,”

"but the change in time affected’ her plane schedule.

The plane she was planning to take from Evansville wouldn't get her in Indianapolis until after 12 noon and she was due to speak at 11. The whole problem was solved when William H. Ball, Muncie, state chairman of the Indiana Cancer society, heard about it. He volunteered to send his private plane to Evansville to bring Mrs. Tinder here. .. . The time change has also confused downtown shoppers. Two agents reported that the Citizens Gas & Coke Utility Co. clock on the northeast cofner of Capitol and Washington sts, and the timepiece in Raab Brothers, 5 N. Pennsylvania st. were still on Central Standard time yesterday.

A Slight Confusion on Names NAME TROUBLE is still with us. When someone calls the Red Gables night club and asks for Mrs. Brodey, they really touch on a. cqnfusing problem.

Back With Army

FRANKFURT, Germany.—“Line up, everybody,” said the voice over the loudspeaker at Camp Philip Morris at Le Havre, and I knew we were back in the routine, We lined up dutifully and went about the business

- of changing all our American money into francs or

"most he may get to Indianapolis to

marks, Three Frenchmen and one old woman appeared from nowhere, methodically picked up the cigaret biitts we tossed aside and I knew we were back in Europe, land of the have-nots. We then caught a windowless train on which we froze for hours (excusing the Buys in one compartment who yanked the boards off the.broken door and built a fire); and I knew Europe hadn't recovered overnight after five years of war. : We got off the train, hungry and frozen. Boys asked for cigarets. Men slipped up and offered us 300 francs for each American dollar, (We had turned ours in at 119 to the dollar.) . They offered 1000 francs, for a carton of cigarets, fantastic prices for candy, gum, nuts; gave us cards showing whére we could take anything we had for black market sale.

Paris Worse Than Year Ago

“THERE'S only one guy lacking,” I thought. “If he shows up I'll know,” and he did—a rat-faced man stealthily offering filthy pictures: Yep, 'twas Paris. Paris isn’t as it was a year ago when the war ended. It's worse. Nobody knows what's happening; nobody dares envision the future. Food is less plentiful. The franc has done another tailspin.

Science’

NEXT MONTH'S test of the Nazi V-2 rockets at White Sands, N. M., should serve to focus the attention of the American public on the subject of rockets. I think that this is extremely important both for a clear understanding of what happened in world war II-and for a grasp of what the future may hold. I would be the last person JR the world to say that

_ too much attention has been given to the atomic

bomb. I do not believe it possible to’put too much thought on that subject. But it is unfortunate that the atomic bomb so completely stole the center of the stage at the close of world war II that everything else was lost, sight of. Because of this interest in the atomic bomb, we tHink today, first of all, of the rocket as a carrier of atomic bombs. But it is important to realize the military. significance of the rocket by itself. For this reason it is highly important that we familiarize ourselves with the history of rockets in world war II The fact of the matter is that in the months before

the dropping of the atomic bomb, the character of the

war was changing so that in many ways it was becoming a war of rockets.

Hitler Bluster Wasn't Biuff

IN THE months before Germany surfendered, Hitler did a great deal of blustering about his new secret weapons. We learned, what they were when the V-1 and V-2 rockets began to drop on England. , It is interesting—and terrifying—to speculate on what might have been the course of events had Hitler’s scientists achieved the V-2 rocket a year or even six months earlier,

My Day

NEW YORK (Monday).—The blue sky returned to us yesterday and, luckily, cold as the weather was, it was not quite freezing, so our fruit blossoms and our plants are still unhurt. As 1 walked through the woods, I noticed many more Small violets hidden under the winter leaves, and my lilies-of-the-valley are pushing their little green shoots up through the ground. Fortunately, our dogwood is not so far out as some of the trees along the parkway. 7 L » L would like to have it wait 10 days or so for its full magnificence on the top of our hill, since my son and daughter-in-law, who are away on a lecture trip, will not be able to enjoy it until then, I am beginning to get letters from veterans and from people who have to live on fixed incomes, complaining about the high cost of living and the difficulty of finding inexpensive clothes. The manufacturers make profit these days if they make expensive clothes so people who can only afford the less expeng sive variety are having a hard time,

Peace Fails to Bring Change

GERMANY, center of a confused and bewildered Europe, with her cities smashed, her industry gone, her granaries empty because the allied armies swept across her fields last planting time, her stomachs empty—as are those of most of Europe. I, too, am confused. It is like dropping back into a battlefield unchanged by peace except for the absence of cannon and blackouts. I ask questions no one can answer. I look for signs of reconstruction, but in the few store windows are little wooden toys, a few garden tools; nothing more. It is most desolate. But I met a guard from an air-borne regiment. “How's it going?” I ask. “It's chicken,” he growls contemptuously. “I gotta stand guard at the generals house while he sleeps. If he's good enough to be a general ain’t he good enough to take care of himself?” I felt much better. I'm with the army again.

Suppose at the time that we were concentrating vast armies of men and huge mountains of supplies in England, the V-2 attack had been launched. One might argue that no invasion of “fortress Europe” would have been possible. In this connection, it is important to remember that while successful defenses were. mobilized against the V-1 rocket, the V-2's continued to fall until our invasion forces had located and seized the launching platforms on the European coast. . While the V-1,and V-2 rockets: were the most spectacular of world war 1I, they were outnumbered by a huge array of simpler rockets which more nearly resethbled ‘the old Fourth of July skyrockets. These included the rocket fired by the famous bazooka, and all sorts of rockets that could be launched from ships and airplanes as well as from the ground.

Rockets May Replace Big Guns

IN FACT the development of these rockets was so successful that it is necessary to study the whole question of the future of ordnance. An argument could be made that rockets in the future will com-

pletely replace the more familiar types of big guns. However, this is a conclusion that should not be adopted too hastily. It is necessary to explore not only the future possibilities of rockets but the future possibilities of other weapons as well, A joint report issued by the office of scientific research and development; the war department and the navy department, indicates that every major participant in world war II used rockets.

Puts Hope in Senate

WE CAN ONLY hope the senate will stand firm and not only will reject the limitations in the house bill, bt really will give OPA the funds to function proy Ay. It has been a long fight to put the control of our

- economic system in the hands of the government,

where it can be administered in the interests of the people as a whole. Now congress, under the influence of powerful lobbies, is rapidly trying to return control to big business. It*may be individual congressmen do not realize just what they are doing. They are head-

ing us straight for inflation and accepting the old

“boom and bust” ideas, instead of sticking to the plan of ironing out the peaks and the valleys and trying to keep us on a fairly even keel. Chester Bowles, stabilization director, and Paul Porter, price administrator, are doing their best but, without the support of the people, who are the ones most affected by what happens to OPA, these two men will be defeated by the reresentatives of the people. Write to your representatives in congress. Writing to me is of very little use!

Indianapolis Has Grown 320 Pct. in 50 Years.

A. The city has grown 320 per cent in the last 50 years. The esti~ mated ‘population in 1894 was 130, 000. In 1044 it was 415,000. It is difficult to obtain’ more than an estimate since the census is taken each 10 years, on years ending with zero. The present population of Marion county, incidentally, is more than half million.

Hog slaughtering will be limited to 80 per cent of the 1044 figure. Those who were not in business then must discontinue operations, unless they are veterans, Mr. Russo explained. The OPA enforcement official asserted the slaughtering regulation is checking “back-yard slaughterers and small, irresponsible packers.” Packing house officials here repeatedly have declared that much of the livestock supply on the Inbought for black market sale’ dianapolis exchange was being Legitimate packers have been unable to obtain supplies at ceiling prices, they declare. : For several weeks, OPA investigators have been assigned to the exchange, checking on sales to individual packers.
