Inside Indianapolis

‘W.,A. WOODRUFF, of Columbus, O. whose plane was smashed up when a storm hit Municipal airport a couple weeks ago, blames his bad luck on the traditionally unlucky 13. When a storm grounded small planes, Mr. Woodruff “parked” his plane, No. 87913, and left town on TWA. Just 13 hours after he left, the storm hit and scattered the plane about. In addition to his plane, 13 others were dam#aged. And, when. Mr. Woodruff read about the storm damage to his plane it was on page 13 of the June 13th edition of the Columbus Citizen. . . . Speaking of storms, we think the storm the other night which put a lot of light lines temporarily out of commission should be a lesson to some home owners. The spring rain has made vegetation luxuriant, with the result that trees are growing to beat the band. The Indianapolis Power & Light Co. tries to keep the trees trimmed, so the limbs won't interfere with service, but quite often residents object to this clipping. If they do, the compény abides by their wishes and lets the trees go. In many cases, this heavy foliage blows against the lines and forces them down when a storm hits, Hence, the people who prevent the clipping are the ones who stand to be inconvenienced during storms. *

Budapest Jaunt

BUDAPEST, Hungary, June 21.—I am in Budapest! 1 have come through the “Iron Ring” of the Russians. I made it the hard way, the “fast train” from Vienna

~160 miles in 12 hours, 30 minutes. The Russian “Iron Ring,’ so far as I've found wherever I've encountered it, isn't all Russian, isn't fron. Nor is it exactly a ring. It's a vast whirlpool of confused officials of many faded uniforms running around officiously for reasons on which they're rather vague. And you hardly can call it iron when a couple of American cigarets judiciously apportioned can crack it asunder. We started promptly at 8 a. m., ran down the track 200 yards, backed into the station and ‘sat quietly until 11. That'll give you an idea. We resumed with 11 added cars loaded to overflowing, men hanging on the steps and sitting on top ~—Russian soldiers going home, Happy, shouting, singing soldiers they were. eordions played. Shirts, shoes and sox came off they chattered of Budapest, Bucharest, Odessa, Moscow! We stopped for water. Our air brakes broke down We had hot boxes. We stopped at every village. And all the way to Budapest the sidings were lined with long trains of Russians going home.

Take Furniture, Livestock THEY GO under the assumption they may take anything they can carry. And on a 40-car freight train one can carry horses, cattle, hogs, tanks, iron beds, household furniture, motorcycles, bicycles, autos ~—just name it and they had it! At the Austria-Hungary border, just to give you an idea, the authorities ordered three people off the car in front of mine. 1 watched while they carried off 31 pieces of baggage, including a few sacks of rye flour. Then a lot of chatter and shouting and off came a pony and wagon! “I've seen everything,” I thought. But no! The train struggled into slow motion. There was a shout from the coach. One of the evictees dashed back alongside the moving train. The woman on the train tossed a bundle neatly, the running woman caught it and all was well. She had forgotten the baby!

Science

EN ROUTE TO BIKINI. —Protection against epidemics such as the 1918 world-wide influenza epidemic that cost millions of lives, may come out of the atomic

pomb tests at Bikini Atoll . Biologists and medical men taking part in the Bikini tests hold out hope for such a result. So much attention ‘has been given to the purely military aspect of the tests that the reader may be amazed to Jearn of this phase of it. Briefly, this is the story: Disease germs and viruses run in strains. Some are mild. Others are amazingly powerful. Many experiments have been eonducted to convert one strain into another. One way to convert one strain of bacteria or virus into another is to subject it to ‘the action of X-rays or radium. This same “Sort of thing. of eourse, is done with. .the seeds of plants or the eggs of insects. The radiations bring about changes in the genes, the units in the chromosomes of the cells which are the carriers of heredity. Thus, for example, if an X-ray beam is directed on a particular gene in the egg cell of an insect, it will change the size of his wings, or the color of his eyes, or some other aspect of his heredity.

Plan to Expose Gems NOW GERMS and viruses have never been exposed to the tremendous blasts of radiation that are fet loose by the atomic bomb. And that is what the biologists and medical men associated with Joint Task Force One are planning to do. What is being done at Bikini is to expose cultures

My Day

HYDE PARK, Thursday.-—Yesterday morning I went down to New York City and then out to Orange, NJ, 0 spefid a few hours with my cousin, Mrs. Henry Parish, on her birthday. She was very happy because members of her household, even some who have had to retire, had sent her flowers and birthday greetings. And one by“one, the household had come in to wish her many happy returns of the day. 1 can’t help thinking that, when one reaches the 80s, it must be a very great satisfaction to find oneself surrounded by people who have a kindly feeling for one. It means that one has cast one's bread upon the waters and it returns to one in kind!

Recalls Plight of Europeans ON THE RETURN trip to New York, when I got oft the ferry at 23d st, everybody was dashing for taxieabs, and I was in a hurry to keep an appointment. Two very young men, one of them with the serviceman’s familiar discharge button on his lapel, reached a taxi simultaneously with me, so I suggested that we three get in together and ride across town, It turned out that the ex-serviceman had been in

Ac-

Berlin when I was there and that we had met—I

suppose, at one of the various clubs. His face looked very familiar and so did that of the Englishman who was with him. It turned out that the latter had been in Austria, oe We were soon talking about European conditions and the heartbreak and discouraging atmosphere that ’ . » y ‘

One of our sharp eyed agents who “notices things” wants to' know why registers on some Indianapolis Railways vehicles register “TC” “Does the IRS spell ‘tokens “tocens” and use this as an abbreviation?” he queried. Nope, that isn't the reason at all. Some of the registers have a special division that includes both tokens and commutation tickets (reduced fares for school children, etc.). Therefore, the “TC” means either “token” or ‘commutation.” , . . Whaddaya know? Bill Evans, publicity man for the Indianapolis schools, ‘is a ‘poet too.

Revive ‘Stolen College’ Tale

THE RECHRISTENING of Central Normal college at Danville to “Canterbury college” revives the old tale about Central Normal being one of the nation's few “stolen” colleges. According to one of our state correspondents, the school was actually stolen by Danville residents from Ladoga. At 4 a. m, on May 9, 1878, the “thieves” loaded up the school’s equipment, books and students and took them from Ladoga to Danville. Classes were resumed the next morning and Central Normal remained at Danville, . . . An idle glance through the classified list of drug stores in the Indianapolis phone book left us amazed at the number of druggeries which have double letters following the initial. The majority of them, of course, are the Hook and Haag stores. Some others are Beech Grove pharmacy, 528 Main st.; Coon's, 449 N.

Getting across the border is something. No less than seven people checked our credentials—Austrians, | Hungarians, an occasional Russian. All were very courteous, apologizing profusely to| those they yanked off the train. Arguments were numerous and heated at all stops. Trainmen blew whistles frantically to urge folks onto the cars. No one ever paid attention. They argued until the train started moving, then made a wild dash. But we got here. { I stepped off the train—into a scene you'd have to see to believe! Five trains were there; ours, which was emptying its conglomerate collection of nationals and luggage, three Russian trains loaded and en route to Bucharest, and a Hungarian train ready to leave the station. I should add that there is no station, as such. War came along.

Every Inch Occupied THIS CIVILIAN train was akin to nothing I've| ever seen before. It was long, perhaps 25 coaches. | There wasn't an unoccupied inch inside, on the platforms, on the footways which run along most European cars—or on top. They were Hungarians from the villages and farms who had come to Budapest with all the food or grain | they could carry. During the day they had bartered and haggled, | exchanging onions for shirts, cabbages for undies, | wheat for shoes, meat for gold rings and necklaces. Added to the din were the fretful mooings of the cattle, which rode in the same cars as the soldiers, | the shrill whistles and the bells of the engines, SYing| |

children, angry-voiced mothers, the crunching of countless arniy feet on rocks and cinders. The Russian trains were a study in confusion. | Eager and inexperienced young hands had loaded | them. The big guns, tanks and trucks were well anchored for the long journey. But the soldiers taking “liberated” articles home were less systematic. Finally the civilian train pulled off, slowly and with great chatter and waving. giving up and fading into the night. 1 left the sc®ne, the restless surging of uncertain | peoples, and went reluctantly down onto Budapest's | one post-war bridge. people hurried’ constantly toward the sea.

THESE WILL be placed at such a distance that} while they will receive doses of radiation, they will be far enough away to escape the blast pressure. But to make doubly sure, each culture will be | placed in a vial which, in its turn, will be enclosed | in a much smaller container. Surrounding the vial will be a solution that will kill the culture if, by any chance, the vial becomes broken In addition to exposing viruses and bacteria, similar devices will be used to expose various insects which are known to be disease carriers. They will include lice, which carry typhus, fleas, ticks, etc. The scientists are particularly interested in the study of flu viruses. The layman often loses sight of | the fact that the great epidemic of 1918 was one of | the nine or 10 worst epidemics in the history of| civilization. It compares with the famous black plague of the Middle Ages. . The disease was a true airborne infection. lated islands in the Pacific were affected by it. After the bomb explosions are over, the exposed cultures will be carefully collected and shipped back to medical institutions for study. The real work will begin after the bomb tests are over. If, for example, new flu strains are found, they will be used to create new protective vaccines. But many biologists are hoping that our knowledge of many of the processes which go on in the living cell will be extended by the tests.

Likens U. S., Russian Aims THE SOVIET atomic plan, as presented to the United Nations atomic energy commission, seems in many ways similar to our own in its ultimate aims, s0 I should think negotiations might bring abqut agreement. The Russians cling, however, even on this subject, to the great powers’ veto right. This seems a little foolish since, if one is going to destroy the atomic bombs, outlaw their use and turn over to the United Nations whatever enforcement regulations are ggreed upon, the veto power would seem to be rather useless in this particular matter. One wishes sometimes that the Russians would give a little more thought to saying a few, perhaps not necessary, pleasant things. They remind me of some one I once knew who always felt it was the part of stern duty to tell her friends disagreeable “truths.” v» They weren't always true, but they were always disagreeable, and they were never softened by the way in which they were said.

SUED FOR ALIMONY

LOS ANGELES, June 21 (U. P.). —Joel W. Thorne, 31, wealthy builder and owner of the winning automobile in Indianapolis’ Memorial day race, was carried back to court on a stretcher today after fruitlessly waiting all day yesterday for a hearing on his estranged wife's temporary alimony request. Johnsie Eager Thorne, 33, asked for “reasonable” alimony pending trial of her separate maintenance suit, plus sufficient funds to fight a suit he filed against her for assertedly mismanaging his funds. Hospitalized since he received 47 separate bone fractures when his motorcycle crashed into an automobile last Feb. 21, Mr. Thorne appeared in court on a stretcher and said he wanted Mrs. Thorne to ac-

Labor Clear Way for Senate O. K. of 4 Cabinet Aids |

By FRED W. PERKINS WASHINGTON, June 21.—The way was cleared today for early

clals ‘in federal labor agencies, after a period in which threatened A. F, of L. opposition to one of them did not appear. A This nominee is David A. Morse, at present general counsel of the national labor relations board, named for an assistant secretary of labor. A. F. of L. opposition was expressed to some senators, on the ground that Mr. Morse was supe , | ported by the C. I. O, where the * post was supposed to go to a “neutral.” Senator Taft (R. O.) delayed action by the senate labor committee until the opposition to Mr. Morse could make itself heard, then voted with other committee members fog unanimous approval when no unfavorable witnesses showed up. » » ~

INSTEAD OF criticism before the committee, Mr. Morse received much commendation. 4 Mr. Morse became general counsel of NLRB last September after seve eral years’ army service. Previously he held other governmental posts, including that of an attorney for the New York office of NLRB. Unanimous committee approval also was voted for two other nominees for assistant secretaryships in the labor department. They are John W. Gibson, former head of the Michigan C.I.0. state industrial council, and Philip Hannah, secretary of the Ohio Federdtion of Labor.” Under an arrangement announced by Labor Secretary Schwellenbach, these posts were to go to choices of the C. I. O. and A. PF. of L. » ” ”

THE FOURTH approved nomimee is James J. Reynolds Jr, who until recently was a navy officer assigned to personnel and labor relations matters. He is to succeed Gerard D. Reilly in August as a member of the NLRB. Mr. Reilly has announced he will return to private law practice. Mr. Reynolds, 39, a native of Brooklyn and a graduate of Columbia university, has had an un‘usual career which included service in Wall st. from messenger boy to a membership on the stock exchange.

Ban on Tipping Would Assure More Courtesy

By RUTH MILLETT

“NO MORE tipping in our dining cars,” says one railroad—which assures travelers that the company will make “up the difference in money to the waiters, If other railroads, and hotels, restaurants, and night clubs, eventually follow suit, the result should

be better manners on the part of the public and those who serve it, The would-be big shot, whether man or woman, now feels perfectly justified in treating serving people in an upstage, high-handed manner. After all, he is going to tip, plenty. Let the waiter or waitress earn it. rr . . THEN there are the tight-fisted people who say they don't believe in tipping, and who are willing to let the person whose wages are calcu~

lated on the basis of expected tips suffer for their “principles.” As for the manners of those who serve, an unknown diner in a restaurant can go without service if there is a known heavy tipper to take care of. And all women find it hard to get good service in public places, because women as a group are known as poor tippers.

. » ~ sof we ever manage to get rid of “the tipping custom, we 6 may find that good manners will have a better chance. The “big shot” won't dare be rude or demanding if he can’t make up for his behavior with a large tip. The timid, shabbily dressed diner-out will get as much service. as will the womay in mink, And smiles and courteous expres {sions ‘of gratitude should replace [the tip, with pleasant’ patrons get{ting the best service and pleasant undemanding. ga
