Inside Indianapolis . Astronomy Editor |

THERE ARE NOW two more people in Indian. apolis who know crime, even &-little teenie crime, doesn't pay. As a mafter of fact, the crime cost them. Mr. and Mrs, Ira Epstein were saying farewell to their niece at Union station and decided they'd like

to see her safely on the train. It's against the rules °

for anyone but passengers to board the train but they slipped through. Once aboard théy got their niece comfortably situated. They waved a cheery goodby and started to get off—only to find the train was pullIng out of the station. They had to buy tickets to ride all the way to Richmond, Ind, where they twiddled their thumbs for several hours waiting for a bus to return them to Indianapolis. . , . Mrs. Epstein, incidentally, is a bride with an unusual wedding gift problem, It isn't the lack of a present that bothers her, just that one is so near and yet so far. When she left New York her fellow-workers shipped a com= bination radio-phonograph to the newlyweds. The present is still at Railway Express while Mrs. Epstein looks for a place to live and to put the gift. She'd at least like to get a look at her wedding present bee fore her first anniversary rolls around.

Sky Chart Each Month

THE INDIANA Astronomical Society Bulletin goes into its 13th year of publication this month, with Walter Wilkins, the original editor, still at the wheel. Mr. Wilkins took over the job when he and some other local men interested in astronomy started the society in 1933. He's one of some six or eight charter members who are still active in the society. Interested In astronomy since his high school days, Mr. Wilkins writes briefs and astronomical descriptions for each month's edition and draws a sky chart for the month, + « . The editor will also celebrate another anniversary soon. He'll observe the anniversary of 25 years with the Indiana Bell Telephone Co. He's now in the Irvington branch. , . . There are still a few optimists left in the world, at least in Lebanon, Pa. Richard B. Bucher, of that city, writes The Times requesting we make hotel reservations for four men for May 29, 19046. He apparently doesn't realize that there isn't enough hotel space to accommodate a midget flea for the Speedway race here. Since all hotels are all sold out, the Indianapolis Convention bureau is collaborating with the Speedway in trying to place visitors in private homes.

Triumph in Defeat

SOMEWHERE in Germany, May 9-1 went out to interview the Russians. With me were Maj. John Fould of the 7th infantry regiment and Lt. Lester

.Reichel of H company,

Also along were a sergeant who could talk English and Polish but no Russian,” and a private who talked Polish and Russian but no English,

We went past the American outpost and the boys pointed out. various spots where unauthorized persons had been shot for trying to slip from the Ameriean to the Russian zone, or vice versa. “This is sort of no-man’'s land out here. If you get caught both sides shoot at you,” observed the ma jor, I figured to ask the Russians a flock of questions about military government, numbers of troops in the area, attitude of the German farmers. “If they're responsive I'll ask ’em if it's true they have whole armies in intensive training back home,” I thought. . We encountered a Russia sentry, who sent two sergeants out, then went for the lieutenant. The sergeants shook hands with all of us. A guard came up and did likewise, T asked our English-Polish-speaking sergeant to ask the Polish-Russian-speaking private to ask the Russian sergeants how long they had been on outpost duty, as a starter,

Age a Military Secret

SOME FIVE minutes of triple-tongued conversation ensued, after which the American sergeant told me, “they said yes.” The lieutenant came up and shook hands with all of us. He was told I was a newspaperman, looked at me curiously, then spoke for some minutes,

Aviation

UNTIL 1905, John Montgomery was practically unknown in aeronautical circles. In the middle 80's he had built a glider and had had no measurable success. No accounts of his experiments appeared in print. Nor were they known to those men whose names were already beginning to appear as the scientific apostles of human flight in winged machines, In 1803, Montgomery attended the international conference on Aerial Navigation in Chicago, a rather ambitious name for this get-together, since at that time the only vehicle which could carry man above the horizon was the balloon. Montgomery made some comments on his theories concerning the flow of air around plane surfaces. He did not, however, discuss his unsuccessful gliders or did he claim any performance for them.

First Record in 1894

IN 1894, however, Chanute's “Progress of Flying Machines” was published, at the end of which was appended a description of Montgomery's gliders. This is the first record of Montgomery in aeronautical affairs. Neither his writings nor practical experiments were deemed worthy of consideration compared to the scientific spade work done by Sir George Cayley, Lilienthal, Mouillard, Penaud, Hargrave, Stringfellow, Langley, Maxim, Chanute and many others. Montgomery himself never claimed more than a 100-foot jump with one of his three gliders. - (Two of the three he claimed to have built admittedly

My Day

NEW YORK (Wednesday). -For a very long time,

the coal industry of this country has been in a bad

way. During the depression, we discovered how badly organized jt was, and that the miners were among the people who suffered more than any others in the working groups of this nation. It should not have been a surprise to us even then, for’ we had had a number of investigating bodies looking into this industry, each one of which had made recommendations. When my husband was assistant secretary of the navy during the last war, I can remember that Mrs, Borden “Harriman served as a member of one of these groups, and that, when I spoke to Justice Louis Brandeis hopefully about reorganization of the coal industry, he remarked: “My dear, nothing will, happen. These findings will be pigeonholed just as all the others have been.” ‘

Conditions Still Deplorable JOHN L. LEWIS, president of the United Mine Workers, became an important labor leader because he cared enough about the miners to do something on their behalf, But even today, despite all the publicity that he has gained in one way or another, the basic wage of a coal miner is still low and the working conditions are still deplorable. . Many other union leaders have succeeded in getting industrial leaders to co-operate on a far broader scale and have achieved far greater results than Mr, Lewis has achieved In his dealings with the coal mine owners. ‘ : We have to admit that he has some tough gentlemen ‘to deal with, But he is said to he tough himself

“A $10 Paris Dinner Leaves You 'Starved"

By FREDERICK ©. OTHMAN United Press Sia Correspondent PARIS, May 9.-—Bring your own soap to the Hotel Etats Unis or you don't get clean. Bring your towel or you don't get dry. I brought a cake of soap from a hctel in New York. And I bors rowed a towel from my landlady in London, so I'm all right there. My problem is ‘different, I'm hungry. That isn’t unusual in Paris where ration cards mean nothing, The black market is in charge of the food, and money seems to be so much tissue paper with pretty pastel pictures printed on fit. » » » GOODNESS knows I'm not coms plaining, not with gaunt-cheeked Frenchmen on every side who can't even think about entering the restaurants de luxe, But facts are facts.
