JULY 4, 1946

EVERY FISHERMAN tells a story about “the one that got away”but Bernard Harmon, of The Tithes advertising department, can look his listeners straight in the eye when he tells his latest. Fishing at Shafer lake recently, he caught a six pound catfish. He took it back to the cottage, had a neighbor weigh it, and showed it to'several envious companions, all of whom will back up his story. . Then he tied it to a stringer and hung it off the pler, . Yep, you guessed it—he

the names of his witnesses to back up what he calls an indisputable “one that got away” story. . . Incidentally, the conservation department predicts a “lousy week-end” for fishermen. The streams and some lakes are still muddy and fishing, generally speaking, will be pretty bad. Even the lakes that cleared won't be much good the department predicts. Another reason is that fish are having a late spawning season and won't nibble at the bait. In short, the fisherman will save time and effort if they just stay home and read “Outdoor Indiana” this week-end.

Celebrates First Mass

ONE OF THE most Impressive cakes we've ever seen: was especially made for a ceremony marking the first solemn mass offered by the Rev, Fr, Howard B. | Huth, O. F. M., newly ordained priest. The cake baked 1 by the Roselyn bakery, was topped with a replica of Bacred Heart Catholic church, where the mass was read. And it was bordered by chalices, grape and wheat, all made in sugar miniatures. The very fancy’ cake was designed and decorated by Jéhn 8, Clark and Miss Ann Lynch. . .. Joseph Wade, works board member, is a grandfather—and how! His daughter, Mrs. Frances Baker, is the mother of six pound twins, a boy and a girl, born at St. Vincent's. As he picked up his hat and started to the hospital, Mr. ‘Wade, already the grandfather of two, remarked: “Those doctors’ sire know their 'businest I'm gonna’ name one of the twins Apotha and the other Carrie.” «+ « One of the advantages of being a department store executive would he thumbing through book departNF ment offerings on your lunch hour, Yesterday Lyman: Ayres, vice president and gerfefal manager orl. 8.

Paul V. McNutt, today became the first U, S. ambassador to the new Philippine republic. » * * MANY PEOPLES have fought tyranny and won - liberty, but never before has a powerful state voluntarily relinquished its sovereignty over a people of another rgce, whose land, in’ this shrinking world, has been one of the ramparts of national defense.

Since 1937, when I was first appointed high commissioner to the Philippines, I have been increasingly convinced that establishment of a permanent political and economic relationship between the United States and the Philippines was in the best interests of both countries, In 1939 I called upon the American and Philippine peoples to make a realistic re-examination of the future of the islands. The outbreak of world war II prevented the full and frank discussion of PhilippineAmerican relationships I hatl hoped to see.

The die is cast. The verdict already had been rendered before I returned to the Philippines as high commissioner in 1945. I have been loyal to the plan.

My function has been to counsel with, encourage, stimulate, and press the Philippine government to be ready for this great day in Philippine history, and to instill in those in authority that statehood carries with it not only the trappings of sovereignity, but also grave responsibilities.

Envisions Lasting Structure THE UNITED STATES has built in less than 50 years, I hope, an enduring structure; -Where. Spain sought to divide and conquer through ignorance and diversity of language, America has sought to unify and make self-reliant through education and the blessing of common language, because without education, accessible to all, there can be no permanent and true democracy. The infant Philippine republic, as did the Amer“fean people in 1783, finds itself essuming independence while facing a most critical period. Like the American people under the articles of confederation, the Philippine people have just emerged from a long and destructive war. Unemployment and economi¢ depression threaten to follow

: A * t1 WITH A TOTAL of 27,000 private planes built this year, it behooves us to promote air education. The most valuable people for this purpose are the demobilized pilots and mechanics of our wartime air forces. If these men retain their service education, they should be the stabilizing influence in avoidance of unnecessary crack-ups and disasters. At the begining our air forces concentrated on summarizing cryptic slogans that had been learned during the preceding 20 years. Weather conditions for the airmen are comparable to the condition -of the highway for the motorist. “Only a few thunderstorms—let’s go” is one of the most famous “last word” wisecracks.

Airman Must Keep Head

MODERN AIRCRAFT, military or civilian, can survive the thunderstorm. But airplanes don't fly themselves and an “all weather” pilot not only must know his instrument technique, but must keep his hand in by constant practice, The wise airman always avoids the thunderstorm in his path as the motorist skirts the bad hole in the road. And, strange as it may seem to the layman, it takes much more courage to kick a rudder and turn back or aside than it does to keep plowing right vg The layman has no idea of the air circulation in a | thunderhead. It is loaded with rough air and even | in the midst of summer it can contain a disastrous patch of heavy hail.

Mi My Day

HYDE PARK, Wednesday. —On our last Fourth of | July, we were rejoicing over the end of the war in | Europe and we were confident that, with the concentration of power in the Pacific, thé end of the

war with Japan would come before very long. Now we have had nearly a year to face the problems of

i pens BY people told us beforehand that these probfems would be difficult, but we knew, every one of us, that nothing mattered so much to us as the end of the war in which our men were being killed. Once the war ‘was over, they might still be away from us for a time, but their chances of return would be. far greater, Their dangers would be no more than the dangers we all face in living at all times. Now that peace is here, we find it is not enough to be grateful that our greatest fear has been removed. We actually have to exert ourselves to meet the problems that confront our country in peace in the year 1046.

Opportunity Is Greut WHEN THE Declaration . of Independence WAS written, the men who wrote it must have wondered how their great experiment would be accépted throughout the world—whether they would be laughed at or looked upon with suspicion, and above everything else, whether they would be left alone to try "to work-out the dreams which they had for mankind. . *'Those dreams and visions have grown now partly into reality.

One of our agents tells us a current events paper, which the children subscribe to through their schools, carried a mail order ad for the fireworks.

upon the heels of the war and post-war booms. The destruction of their shipping, political agitation, armed banditry menacing property and even life, and widespread inflation, is no rosy picture to gaze upon for a people still numbed by the disasters which befell them during the Japanese occupation. Despite the magnitude of their problems, the outlook for the Philippines is brighter than that which confronted the young American confederation in 1783. In America under the articles of confederation, “public credit was demoralized and private -credit lacking in confidence.” The central government was without prestige both abroad and at home. The Republic of the Philippines is not heir to all these ills, and America stands at her side eager, as evidenced by the war damage and trade rehabilitation laws, to help finance her industries, rebuild her shattered cities, and restore her economic life.

U.S. Moves Toward Goal IN 1899 the U. S. senate resolved that it was “not intended permanently to annex (the) as an integral part of the territory of the United

States,” but to establish a government commensurate |

with" the needs of the Philippine people, and ultimately to make such disposition of the jslands as would “best promote the interests” of the citizens of the United States and ‘the inhabitants of the Philippines. Since then America has moved steadily toward that goal. Never before in history has there been a more benevolent overlord. Today the flag that Adm. Dewey hoisted slowly and reverently was lowered. Our declaration of independence, our constitution and our bill of rights are now as much a heritage of the Philippine people as is the magna carta of American people. To those-of us who love the Philippines, severance of the political bonds which have so long united us is not without sadness. However, as the Philippine flag waves over a new-born nation, its American friends can comfort themselves with the thought that the star-spangled banner, though lowered over the public buildings of Manila, will still fly, forever wé trust, in. the hearts of a brave, strong, and forwardlooking people,

Generally: speaking, the air on the fringes of a thunderstorm descends at a rapid rate while in its core the air rises at terrific speed. The towering clouds which the layman recognizes as the peak of the thunderhead do not form themselves or assume their towering shapes. It's the hot air ascending and the cold air descending that shape the cloud formation.

Patience Is an Asset

THE PLANE hits the rising and falling, air currents at the speed of hundreds of feet a second. Of course, the plane is jarred and bumped around. The faster the plane travels, the harder and more sudden the jar or bump. The modern airplane will withstand those jars and stresses, It's built and tested to withstand them. But keeping that plane on an even keel and holding to a compass course is a matter for expert cockpit experience. Old Man Weather is the flying man's enemy. He! has many tricks, and always a new wrinkle for | catching a green pilot. * It takes patience to live with an unblemished record in aviation. And patience is an asset that must be cultivated. No man is born with enough to meet the demands” of flying. He must cultivate patience.

Rookie Cops Get ‘Boot Training’

’

By HARVEY HARRIS E]IGHTY-EIGHT new appointees - to the Indianapolis police department are hard at work mastering the technique of police work in an experiment new to the city. The men, 90 per cent of them veterans, are undertaking an intensive 10-week training course. They're being taught the refine. ments of firearms, the theofy of self defense and judo; first ald and criminology. In short, all the things necessary to become good policemen, The rookies are taking their training in doses, They go to school for a month and then for a month they join the oldtimers for a period of practical training as a partner in a ‘patrol car, e 4 ~ w . “IT'S A NEW experiment of ours,” explained Li.

And the record the fledging Blige coats hung up on the range was something to make the old timers sit up and take notice, ® ¥ ” THEIR MARKMANSHIP was fully 10 per cent better than the pre-war record of policemen, They accumulated average scores of 75 per cent in the use of four weapons —pistol, shotgun, rifle and machine gun, On the last three weapons, the yearling marksmen left the bullseye with so many holes it was necessary to repaste the targets, Instructors attribute the superior marksmanship of the group to military training. They brandish weap[ons with ease and the evidence is racked up in the 90's that are carded for the rifle, tommy gun and shot gun. That's for the best, too. Most

By ANN HICKS ; WASHINGTON, July 4—The senate war investigating committee made plans today to call Secretary of War Robert P.

N. Y.) announced that Mr. Patterson was on the witness list as the coms mittee recessed over the holiday. - Mr. Mead has called the tangled network of Illinois firms—which handled millions of dollars worth of government contracts—‘a Saving industrial paper empire.” Key figure in the empire was Dr. Henry M. Garsson, an industrialiste inventor who reportedly was repe resenting a non-existent company when he won his first $3,000,000 con= tract from the army in early 19432, Garsson and his brother, Murray, are said to have “boasted” around Batavia that “if they didn't get what they wanted locally they would come to Washington," "

THE COMMITTEE record Is filled with army officers’ ts of the “influential in Washington and of the “pressure” these connections brought to bear, Several different witnesses have told of intervention by Mr, May, One general said he had three “pressure” telephone calls from Mr, May on behalf of the Batavia concern. The pts of tele phone calls Mr. May made to two genarals on the matter were read in the record. The congressman asked one of them to call Garsson, then staye ing at a Washington hotel. The general said he would, and did. Mr. May told reporters In Pike ville, Ky., yesterday that the testie mony is “a lot of foolishness.” Hg indicated he would have more ‘to say when he returns to Washing. ton, * » ~ A DOCUMENT put in evidence Just before the committee recessed disclosed that Mr. Patterson moved to help the Batavia firm after receiving a telephone call from Garsson, The secretary advised a subore dinate officer he believed Gen. Roswell Hardy should give “pers sonal attention” to Garsson’s ree t| quest for aid in getting more mane power. He added that “I will also be available “for any assistance that may be needed.”

We, the Wome The Marriages Without Humor Are 'Foreign'

By RUTH MILLETT “THE FOREIGN bride is only 19, She admittedly doesn't know how to cook. Her home is a trailer in a crowded university-operated trailer camp. But on the door is tacked a care toon showing a hill-billy leading his wife toward a tumble-down shac and protesting: “But darling, I tol you all Americans didn’t live in skyscrapers.” Both she and her husband think the cartoon is funny—which is the best omen in the world for a happy marriage.

NO MATTER how different their backgrounds, a couple who can laugh at the same things and see thé funny side of their own predica« ments will have fun’living together, The man who gets the real “fore eign” bride !s the one who gets a woman who can’ never see what he is laughing at, A husband and wife like that will always be “foreigners™ to. each other, even’ though they grew up in the same block in the same town. Their companionship, you see, is limited in many ways. If the same things don't strike them. as funny - or ludicrous, they'll never enjoy the same books, the same plays, the same movies, the same people. ! » » ~ AND THE ABILITY of one of them to laugh at life’s minor probe lems will only irritate the other and eventually inspire the classic com« plaint: “I simply can’t understand Joe.” In such a case, you have a mary riage between two persons who are really “foreigners” to each other, And time will never make the situas tion any better or turn intimacy into companionship.
