Inside Indianapolis

ALTHOUGH Mrs. David Williams has been. selected Indiana Mother of 1946 by the national Golden Rulé Foundation, she refuses to pose as an expert on “how to raise your children.” , , . The East Chicago, Ind., mother could well assume the role of an ‘authority for she “brought up” the most famous of radio's “Quiz Kids"—Richard Williams . , , an average American boy who has never heard himself veferred to as a “genius” by members of his household—although he has received innumerable laurels and riches for his remarkable mental capacity .

© Mrs. Williams accepts her new honor as matter-of-

fact as she does Richard's life, . “He's just an average boy,” she will tell you . . . and (with a look of admiration toward Richard): “I've got him and I guess I'm stuck with him” . . . but it’s all in fun, just as their average day is one of family companionship.

Plays With Her Boys SHE ENJOYS traveling all over the nation in the many personal appearances Richard has made. , , She likes to méet people, and learn their reactions to everyday life. . . . And she likes to join in Richard's recreation periods . . . which are never planned on a “scientific” schedule. , , , Mrs. Williams says she gets “loads of fun” from dancing with her sons—her other boy, Glenn, is 21 years old and just back from the army after nearly three years of service—enjoys playing ping pong with them and an occasional game of gin-rummy. . . . At home Mrs. Williams has a work-a-day schedule similar to that of any other housewife. . . . She does her own housework, except for part time help” one or two days a week and “loves” to do the family wash. . , , Mrs. Williams gets her outdoor exercise from daily walks . , . says she likes -to walk, but maybe’s it's also because she retains her trim figure despite her appetite for apple pie a la mode—her favorite dessert. . , . It's usually “open house” at the Williams residence .-; . which gives Mrs. Williams an opportunity to be a “pal” to Richard's friends, who almost daily stop off on their way home from school. , , . She enjoys “kidding” the neighborhood “gang” and apparently they enjoy it . . . for as Richard's best friend, who seems to be the butt of most of her jokes, puts’'it: “If the eats weren't so good here, I wouldn't stand for it.” . . . Mrs. Williams insists she is even-tempered. . . . To prove the point she recounts that on Saturdays the boys of the neighborhood play basketball from 8:30 a. m. until dark in the family driveway—with Richard one of the “loudest noisemakers.” :

Fly Around Moon By Douglas Larsen

WASHINGTON, May 11.—It is possible this generation will see huge rocket ships, carrying passengers, that can circle the moon and return to earth safely. This is the considered opinion of Col. H. N. Toftoy, chief of rocket development, division of research and development services, U. 8S. army ordnance department,

He says that if work could begin on such a project immediately and enough money found to finance it in the interests of pure science, it could be done and witnessed by persons who are alive today. U. 8. scientists have the technical’knowledge and the materials to build such a space ship if they were to concentrate their time and efforts on it, Toftoy claims.

Thete are still countless problems connected with missiles that travel faster than sound that are not fully understood or proved.

It is hoped that the army’s tests of captured German V-2 rockets at White Sands, N. M., will explain some of these and bring passenger-carrying space ships closer to reality. The V-2s ‘scream 100 miles into the stratosphere from the ground. The Germans used an automatic device in the rocket to shut off the power at a fixed height, It then became a free missile heading for a target,

Remote Control by Radio

A POSSIBLE and more accurate means of controlling it would be remote control of the power by radio. The radar could tell just when it got to the proper height and the power could be turned off. Radar also could tell if the rocket was traveling off its course and the power could be turned off immediately via radio. The V-2 is known to reach a speed of 3400 miles per hour on a part of its trajectory, Scientific knowledge of the behavior of missiles traveling at this super-sonic speed is limited. Col. Toftoy admits there are plenty of complicated i

Aviation

UNDER THE present CAA we have a purely bureaucratic organization in complete control of private Aviation, Forced to seek relief from this Frankenstein monster, we turn toward state regulation under general policies formulated by state representatives in Washington. This would immediately reduce the present 11,000 employees of the CAA to a few hundred persons and present a full green light to the most promising business the country has seen come over the horizon in many a decade. Here are some constructive observations in support of this proposal. In the first place, the CAA itself has acknowledged that the increasing problem created by reckless flying must be handled and solved mainly by state aviation agencies. This makes sense because the reckless operation of aircraft differs in no way from the reckless operation of automobiles except it usually leaves a worse mess for someone to clean up. However, since the CAA agrees to the state aviation authorities handling the violation of flight rules, why shouldn't the entire administration of policing. licensing and maintenance inspection of aircraft be turned over to the state aviation agencies?

Safety Steps Needed AS PRIVATE flying increases, the accident rate is certain to increase also, unless state: and local authorities are prepared and ready to cope with the problem. There's no denying the adage that, “It's the cop on the beat who has first knowledge of the trouble and how to stop it.” » If the reckless flying involves a pilot diving over his girl friend's house or making low passes at a fisherman on a resort lake, it is the fellow on the ground who grabs a phone and calls upon the local policing agency for protection and relief. If the culprit pilot doesn't break his or someone else's neck, it is then the job of the local authority to trace the

My Day

NEW YORK, FPriday.—It seems to me perhaps I ought to catch up a little on my usual diary! Last Saturday, T had the great pleasure of having Miss Gabriels Mistral, the well-known Chiléan poetess, and Mr. and Mrs. Andrei Gromyko drive up to Hyde Park to lunch with me. I had met all of them before, but I had merely a casual introduction to Miss Mistral. As I have great admiration for this winner of the 1945 Nobel prize for literature, I was delighted to have a chance really to talk to her. She is one of Chile's permanent consuls in San Diego, but her interests are far from being political. As she is a humanitarian, she wishes to see changed anything which is unjust either for ‘men or women. But her real interest is! in literature and the arts, and not in whether a vote will ‘be needed in order to obtain some of the things people are entitled to. She had a most interesting face, and I hope the day will come when I will have the opportunity to

talk ‘with her In leisurely fashion about the many.

IT 18 70 MILES from Indianapolis to Turkey Run state park. For some Indianapolis folk the two-hour drive over Road 36 to | Rockville then north on 41 to 47 and a few miles east to the park will stir up many pleasant memories. Many families here have photographs now yellowing in albums of picnics and other gatherings in this picturesque park. Some were snapped more than 15 years ago. The park became state property in 1916. Even prior to that time the area had been a favorite of picnickers and nature lovers. » - » THE PARK takes its name from the great flocks of wild turkey which once inhabited the region. The area had been a well-known hunting section for Indians. In 1821 much of the land which is now state park property was deeded to Capt. Salmon Lusk as a reward for military service. The ruggedness of the area and the suitability of Sugar Creek as a site for a water-powered grist mill appealed to Capt. Lusk who was a native of Vermont. Foundations of the mill, cut in the solid rock, are still visible although the building was swept away by flood in 1847.

Possible succesors to Fred PF. (Bays as state Democratic committee chairman claimed most of the statewide interest today as Indiana Republicans and Democrats reorganized on county levels.

Some veteran airmen have felt that placing police powers in the hands of state aviation authorities would be bad medicine, but in view of what the CAA has become, I cannot see it that way. In, the first place, the states already possess the police powers to protect the safety of the public.
