Gone But Not Forgotten

SHADES OF POLICEMAN Alexander Dunwoody! What's happening to the city's “no smoking on public vehicles” regulation? - Sgt. Dunwoody won temporary fame by his rigorous enforcement of the newly passed measure back in May, 1943. It wasn't even safe to think about a cigaret or stogy on a bus if the vigilant Irish patrolman was around.’ Now, however, the Indianapolis Railways has purchased a lot of new busses and they've neglected to put up the “No Smoking” sign. Hence, in the last few months we've ‘noticed a lot of smoking on the busses, indicating that Indianapolis people have forgotten the smoking ban. The Railways hastens to assure us that the lack of signs was the result of forgetfulness.

Meridian. The prankster has made innumerable calls to Indianapolis residents, telling the resident that the agency was sponsoring a quiz show. The quiz is supposed to give the person who can answer a question correctly within 30 seconds a new Oldsmobile as a prize. If the person being called bites, the prankster asks: “What company manufactures Oldsmobiles?” The right answer, General Motors, is supposed to entitle the quizzee to a new car. A wrong answer gives them a $10 consolation prize, so the prankster says. Some of the many people who don't think it's so funny are the girls at Hickman, who have to take care of all the calls from irate people who demand either their Oldsmobile or their $10. This is just to warn you not to be taken in if the gagster should happen to call your number. . . . Bob Spencer, one of Holywood's foremost hair stylists, is in town visiting his mother,

German Cartels

WASHINGTON, June 20.—The big drive to smash Germany's industrial cartels and so to crush her warmaking power is about to begin in full force under the direction of a staff of 80 experts—lawyers, engineers and economists—recruited in the U. 8. in recent weeks, For three years, from 1942 to 1945, the economic section of the justice department studied the methods

machinery, transport equipment, and some consumers’ goods. Already the British have seized the Krupp works at Essen in the British zone, and the U. 8. is scheduled to take over Krupp assets in its zone. The drive for liquidation of the cartels, in its U.S. phase, is being directed by James S. Martin, who is flying to Germany today.

warfare section of the justice department, then was loaned to Gen. Eisenhower's headquarters, and subsequently went to the staff of the war department. The aim of the drive is not to de-industrialize Germany, according to Mr. Martin, but to break its industry up into small segments, A practical difficulty confronting the U. S.—and the Russian, British and French control officials are working with this country in many of the cartelsmashing projects—is that German stock ownership often is not shown by name. Ownership rests in the bearer of the stock certificates and hence is difficult to trace. The strategy of the drive against the combines is, first, to break them up at home so that they cannot, in the future, effect an economic penetration which outmaneuvers industry of other nations to the advantage of Germany. 6

other countries. For the last 18 months the' U. S. government has planned the wiping out of the cartels. There are two chief immediate objectives: First, to break up the industrial syndicates, cartels and combines of industrizs still allowed to live, so that ownership is not centralized but distributed widely among small holders. Destruction Under Way SECOND, the actual physical destruction of industries that have.only a war-making potential. This has already begun with the leveling of great explosives plants at Gendorf and Allendorf. Elimination of “close holdings” of large sections of German industry by small groups will be sought in drives against such industries as chemicals, electrical equipment, iron and steel and other metals, tools and : -

The five battleships are the Nevada and the Pennsylvania, proud old ships that came through the Japanese sneak attack at Pearl Harbor; the Arkansas, which first saw action at Vera Cruz in 1914; the New York, likewise a veteran of world war I days, and finally, the captured Japanese battleship, the Nagato.

Among them will be two of our oldest heavy cruisers, the Pensacola and the Salt Lake City and the German heavy’ cruiser Prinz Eugen, which did much damage in the early days of world war II. The idea is to find out the progressive decrease in damage to ships and the materiel on or below the decks at varying distances from the explosion of the bomb. It is expected that the ships directly under the bomb may be damaged terrifically. They may be twisted into wrecks. Several of them may be sunk. Ships at greater distance will show damage. It is anticipated .that those farthest from the “bull's eye” may show virtually no damage at all. Many smaller ships scattered among the larger

My Day

HYDE PARK (Wednesday) —People say to me, “well, prices have gone up already, so why do we need controls?” They do not stop to think that there is still a vast difference between the prices we now have and completely uncontrolled’ prices. A bulletin from the office of price administration gives the following information. From September, 1939, when the war began in Europe, to April 15; 1946, the average of all consumer prices and rents rose about 33 per cent, Much of the increase, however, was before price controls became effective. From May, 1942, when the general maximum price regulation was issued, to April 15, 1946, the average of consumer prices and rents rose only about 13 per cent, During world war I, retail prices and rents more than doubled, and half of the increase occurred after the armistice. Even with the necessary rise in prices to reflect wage adjustments and facilitate prompt reconversion since V-J day, and with the increase in- grain and bread prices to meet the requirements of the famine program, as well as the increase in dairy prices which came as a result of feed costs apd farm-labor costs which threatened to reduce cur milk supply-—even

Labor or Truman's Strike Control Bill =~ Almost Dead

By FRED W, PERKINS WASHINGTON, June 20. — BEx« pert legislative morticians ' who looked over the remains of Presis dent Truman's drastic emergency strike control bill came up today with the finding that it is indubi tably dead. " Malnutrition appears to be the cause. The White House shows no cons cern, Leadership of the house, where the bill is lying, shows no activity. Speaker Sam Rayburn (D. Tex.), who would be alert if prodded by the President shows only a funereal interest. The house rules commit= tee, is waiting for a request from the leadership, which it doesn’t exe pect. Republicans of the house, who had the idea last week*it would be a fine political move to pass the bill as it came from the senate and thus give Mr. Truman a chance to lose whatever support he won back from union leaders by his veto of the Case bill, are having another think, >

» ~ » THEY are weighing the advane tages of trying to embarrass Mr, Truman against the probable eme barrassment for themselves. A high Republican authority says his side of the house is “now indisposed to give the President any more power.” This is a change of mind from the Saturday afternoon a month ago when Mr, Truman appeared dramatically before a joint session. He got an almost solid vote from the house for his proposed way of breaking the railroad strike and similar strikes of a nation-paralyse ing character’ Thus it appears that the millions of words spilled by congressmen and others on doing something about the strike and general labor situa« tions will result in little this sume mer, x owe. A HEAVY overturn in house and senate through the November elec- | tions, or another wave of important strikes, could force action before the next congress opening in January— but now the outlook is for a study of least six months before anything comprehensive is attempted in the labor field. Even about the study full agreement. The question is who will do the studying. The house, on the heels of its quick approval of Mr. True man's emergency bill, passed a proposal of Rep. Howard W. Smith (D. Va) for a joint congressional committee to do the studying. » H »
