IF YOU HAPPEN to have any “de-scented” skunks ' ing Indianapolis for about 11 {ears, but when he got

around, James Vann, 3615 Salem st., is in the market for one. Mr, Vann, a discharged naval veteran and an employee of Eastern Airlines, wants to buy a wellbehaved polecat for a pet. He's heard skunks, minus smell, make nice pets and also that they're invaluable for keeping away peddlers and solicitors, . Anyone who can help Mr, Vann locate such a pet, which

is to be named “Flower,” incidentally, can reach him at TA-4261, , . , With everyone else worrying that OPA will be a thing of the past after July 1, employees of the district office here seem blithely unconcerned about it all. \Right now the office is in the process of consoli ting some divisions and moving other branches into a first floor room which formerly was occupied by the army air forces. . The ‘familiar “Call for Ph ip Morris” drowned out the din in The Times ¢ity/room, a task for strong tonsils, yesterday as Johnfy Morris Jr., one of the cigaret company’s goodwill’ ambassadors, dropped in to say hello. Johnny has ‘been in town a couple of days, making the rounds with L. F. Jacobs, who represents the tobacco company here, He didn’t make it in to see Governor Gates, but passed some of his samples out to Mayor Tyndall, whom we understand regularly uses a rival brand.

‘Blue’ Danube

VIENNA, Austria, June 26.—The Danube Shipping company (its German name is about two kilometers shorter than the Danube itself) is one' of the few outfits’ the Russians haven't been able to take over—

mostly because 'way back in early May, 1945, the admiral of the navy sailed a flock of ships up the Danube and surrendered them to the Americans at Linz. I remember that a Russky entourage headed by a lieutenant general came to Linz in those days and spent many hours trying to convince the Americans it was their duty to give up that big convoy of ships. The Nazis had taken over the Danube Shipping company in 1940, as they did many an all-Austrian holding, and the Russkys argued all Nazi stuff was theirs by right of Potsdam agreement. So now we've an impasse (if you can show me where ‘there isn't an impasse over here I'll have a monument erected) along the Danube. The Russkys hold all ships south of Linz, the Americans all north of Linz and nobody’s doing anybody any good with any of them. Which brings us around to a great giant of a man, Eduard Heinl of Vienna. Mr. Heinl is secretary of the chamber of commerce of Austria, a nation wherein membership in various chambers of commerce is compulsory. Also he is minister of commerce and, as such, sits in the cabinet. Man and boy, off and on, he has been secretary and minister since 1919, even in the provisional government set up the week the Russkys drove the SS out of Vienna.

Austria’s Future

EDUARD is a vast man physically, a truly courteous Viennese. And he will tell you the future of ..1stria depends on: ONE: Getting the four allied powers out of Austria so the government (which is interested and the ‘quadripartitesisn't) can take over,

Science

CHICAGO, June 26.—Money literally too “hot” to handle might be the legal basis for your dollar bills and bank credit if a suggestion of Dr. Farrington Daniels is carried out. Dr. Daniels is director of the metallurgical laboratory at the University of Chicago, birthplace of the uranium fission reaction in 1942 which resulted in the atomic bomb. Basing the monetary system on uranium or plutonium instead of gold is Dr. Daniels’ suggestion in the American Chemical Society's Chemical and Engineering News. No one would consider putting uranium coinage into circulation. And as for plutonium, scientists who have handled this man-made radioactive metal state that energy changes taking place in it make it actually warm to the touch. Dr. Daniels would use as his measure of value the number of kilowatt hours of energy obtainable from fission of uranium or its product, plutonium,

Similar to Technocracy Move CALCULATION of the value in terms of energy is reminiscent of the technocracy movement in the years between the wars, when some engineers and economists advocated stabilization of wages and prices on the basis of the energy required for manufacturing processes. This is an idea quite distinct from the traditional use for coinage of gold, an extremely durable metal of very little practical use,

My Day

HYDE PARK, Tuesday.—So far, we have had such cool weather that yesterday suddenly seemed the first really warm June day. It almost made one listless and I envied my children, who sat in the

sur and cooled off in the pool at frequent intervals all morning. Even the baby who is with us was attracted to the pool and splashed his toes up and down in pure delight, It is wonderful how a modern infant grows accustomed to the water and seems to have no fear. On Sunday, this baby’s father started just letting him splash his toes and, before we knew it, he was being jumped up and down in the water and was'

looking upon it as a most wonderful game. I can '

remember being terrified “of the water, so there are certainly some advantages to modern bringing-up. Mrs, Vera Brittain, the English novelist, and Mrs. Putnam, who is a Sculptress, arrived from New York to lunch with me. Mrs. Brittain has been lecturing on England for the American Friends Service committee throughout the country. She has gone practically everywhere except to the deep South.

Found Some Use for P. 0. W.s

THROUGH THE HELP of the army, some German prisoners of war and a lot of ingendity, Robert Craig, 4750 Broadway, has solved his transportation problems. Mr. Craig, just discharged last week, is driving an odd looking bantam station wagon. The car is a Willys jeep, with a miniature station wagon built over it. Mr, Craig bought the jeep while in Germany and prisoners of war built the top. He then talked the army into shipping it back for him on the return trip of a food ship. Now the ex-sergeant buzzes merrily over town, while his fellow ex-G. Is hotfoot it around trying to buy a car. . . . Bob Stranahan, Times sports writer, is hobbling around after a freak accident. He ran over himself with a lawn mower. While cutting the grass he bent over to trim around some trees, then raised back up directly under the mower. The result was a cracked rib. What makes the whole incident doubly bad, as far as the victim is concerned, is that it happened on the first day of his vacation.

Cactus Just Grows and Grows

MRS. HAZEL MANN, 2517 Foltz st., is amazed at the growth of a cactus which she started four years 8go. The cactus is now more than five feet tall, she estimates, about twice as big as a neighbor's plant

| from which she got a “start” for her cactus. Mrs. | Mann, who says she's never taken any special pains

with the plant, keeps it in a barrel in the back yard all year around and it just keeps on growing. . . . One of our avid railroad fans calls our attention to the new modernistic multi-cylinder steam locomotives on the Pennsylvania line. The new engines, known as “T-Is” are being used regularly on some of the fast trains through Indianapolis and they're “a sight to see, says our agent. , . , Malcolm Snoddy, boys’ buyer for L. 8. Ayers, attended a performance of “Showboat” during a recent trip to New York. We understand he didn't pay much attention to the show, though, because Ingrid Bergman was sitting next to him. . ..

TWO: Re-establishment of the Danube Shipping company with headquarters in Vienna, with Austrian capital controlling 52 per cent and capital of other affected nations along the famous waterway controlling the rest of the stock.

Vienna Is Natural Point “WE SHOULD and can develop our water power S0 we can export a great deal of it,” Mr, Heinl says. “We must find new markets quickly because the Nazis had forced us to turn our trade their way and they're gone now, J “Russia is one big hope for future mutually advantageous trade, a new field. We have much to develop, but the Danube shipping is the foundation of Austria’s economy. That company was 100 years old and respected by all when the Nazis took it over. “Vienna is the natural central point from which east-west trade emanates. Vienna has the port facilities. Vienna is the heart of the lifeline that keeps nations alive.” The old veteran—he's 66 and eager as he was 40 years ago—works from 12 to 15 hours every day. His energy and assuredness, at his age and on the heels of a war which left most of the world sick and too discouraged to try again, cause one to look at him with awe and admiration. It takes a good man, at 66, to look hopefully into the future after the immediate past. I met Mr. Heinl in late May, 1945, when Vienna was a smoking ruins ang a conquering army roamed the ruins looting and buring. When I saw him today, more than a year later, I asked, optimistic than when I last saw you?” | “No.” he said, “I was optimistic then. The worst | had happened. I did not expect perfection to follow | immediately on the heels of the hell Austria had! been through since 1938. We have done well”

The value of gold is based on the theory that it will never change. The value of uranium, if Dr. Daniels’ suggestion should be adopted, would depend on its being consumed. Utilization of this high-powered source of energy for fuel in remote regions might be practicable within a relatively short time, Dr. Daniels believes, but the most urgent need is regulation so.that fissionable materials are not diverted to making bombs.

Dehydrated Food Patents

By Science Service WASHINGTON, June 26.—Vacuum dehydrated fruits and vegetables, which scientists claim are superior dried foods that people will really like, have a prominent place in the 411 awards granted by the| U. 8. patent office today. Seven separate patents | were granted Robert M. Schaffner of Chicago for vacuum methods of dehydrating foodstuffs. In dehydrating green peas, for éxample, the peas are blanched promptly after picking, then cooled and held so until put in the vacuum chamber. The drying in the chamber is done at low pressure in an atmosphere of superheated steam with the contents exposed to radiant heat giving a temperature of 228 to 338 degrees Fahrenheit. The moisture content of the peas is reduced to about 10 per cent. Other methods patented are for green beans, navy beans, soybeans, corn, beets, carrots and pork. The patents have been assigned to Guardite Corp.

Need Material to Produce

IT SEEMS incredible that everyone should not realize the reason foreign countries continue their strict war rations. In many cases, it is because they must have tools and materials with which to start producing again. To obtain these they must have currency in other nations where the things that they need .are for sale. Therefore they must export something! It is almost as essential for us, looking beyond the immediate situation, to help them to obtain these things and start rehabilitation. I am always surpriSed when I hear people say that it may be harmful to us if these nations produce similar things to. what we produce, as though the} were afraid that our market would be ruined by rehabilitation in other nations. , We have succeeded in a competitive world by somehow producing things which people wanted more than they wanted similar products from other countries, and we will continue to succeed in a competitive world! However, if people have no money with which to buy from -us, they cannot acquire our goods, no matter how much they want them. As a matter of fact, the things produced in other countries are usually different from those produced here. In the past, we have often sent raw materials
