A Haven In Ozarks By Eldon Roark

HARRISON, Ark, July 13.—Well, we've made it this far—289 miles from Memphis—which isn't bad for the first day of our western tour, considering our late start. It was 11:15 a. m. when we crossed the Harahan bridge over the Mississippi. We had so much luggage and equipment that we had to jettison one suitcase right at the start. And when we got the other stuff aboard, the back end of the car was so loaded it made the front end r’ar up. So we are now riding a kangaroo, jumping and leaping down the road on our hind wheels, giving an occasional push with our tail, the rear bumper. But we get over the country. We drove west over highway 70, the first 50 miles through the low, fertile alluvial cotton country of eastern Arkansas. Then we climbed the first high ground, Crowley Ridge, which resembles a huge levee, and were in the famous peach section around Forrest City. On west we went, and descended into low country once more—the rice -belt—and stopped to eat our lunch in a cool, shady roadside park at White river. At Little Rock we turned northward on highway 65 and headed into the blue haze of the picturesque Ozarks. Now the last word of advice a friend gave us was this: “Don't drive too fast. And you'd better stop early every afternoon if you want to get a cabin for the night.” But you know how it is. When the sun is still high, the scenery is beautiful, and the car is humming along nicely, you hate to stop.

Hunt Stopping Place * 80 IT WAS- about 6:30 p. m. before we began thinking about a place to stop, and Harrison, 50 miles to the north, was the first good-sized town ahead of us. It is in the Ozark resort territory, and we hadn't much hope of getting a cabin there so late in the day. We decided to take the first thing we could find that looked half-way decent. Some of the camps in the villages we passed through were so dirty,. hot and uninviting that we didn’t even stop. ;

Sci WASHINGTON, July 13.—S8cientists in the front lines of physical exploration of atomic particles are excited about a new kind of high voltage machine that promises to speed along the hearts of atoms to accelerations of several hundred million or even billions of volts, comparable to or exceeding the cosmic rays from outer space. The linear accelerator, as it is called, will be talked about for the first time next Saturday morning at the Berkeley, Cal, meeting of the American Physical society when Prof..Luis W. Alvarez of the University of California is scheduled to give a paper. Using the resonating cavities from second-hand radar sets left over from the war, it is understood that an accelerator about 40 feet long that will operate at about 5,000,000 volts direct current is being built and should have its first trials next fall, It would be used to accelerate hydrogen atom hearts, protons, useful in all sorth of atomic or nuclear research such as produced the atomic bomb. Eventually the resonating units, each giving a kick to the particles, might be strung out for a mile or more in a straight line! . This would give accelerations equivalent to hundreds of millions or even billions of volts if all goes well.

Cyclotron Reaches Voltage Limit

WORK ON the linear accelerator “atom-smasher” was begun when it appeared that the cyclotron had reached a limit in its voltage at about 50,000,000. This was before a frequency modulation scheme was used a few months ago with the cyclotron that now makes

My Day

HYDE PARK, Friday.—It was a shock which brought with it a real sense of personal loss when I heard of the death of Sidney Hillman. He was one of our citizens who, having come here from a foreign country, had absorbed the love of freedom and an understanding of democracy, so that he brought

real statesmanship to the labor movement. For the

poeple in his own union, he always worked unselfishly, with a broad vision both of the needs of

. labor and of the responsibility of labor to the com-

munity as a whole as it gained power, Mr. Hillman was a good negotiator and knew how to conciliate different factions. And his European background gave him an understanding of inter-

recreation center” and the daily attendance of more than 2500 persons attests to the fact that the perseverance of Jim Makin and his wife proved the idea to be anything but what those counselors predicted, 5400 for Dinner » PERHAPS MR. MAKIN'S confidence wasn't built on an idea alone . . . he had plenty of experience. . His first big venture with the public was in 1911 when he took charge of the dance hall and dining room at Broad Ripple peark, , . . From 1918 to 1921 he was custodian and caterer of the Scottish Rite cathedral. From 1922° to 1928 he was back at Broad Ripple, operating the entire park this time, ... He added to his laurels the fact that it was at Broad Ripple in 1923 that Johnny Welismueller—then an unknown “kid” from Chicago— set his first swimming record . . that in 1924 Broad Ripple was the scene of the Olympic games finals for the U. 8. and Weismueller earned his first overseas trip to the games world finals. , . . Jim Makin also had been credited with the outstanding achievement of the catering world in 1931 when he directed the feeding of 5400 persons in the dinner honoring President Herbert Hoover at the Manufacturers building on the State Fairgrounds—the largest serving ever accomplished up to that time. . With 350 Butler coeds assisting, Mr, Makin served 2500 chickens, 600 gallons of coffee, 35 bushels of potatoes, 50 gallons of olives and pickles—and used 12 tons of chinaware, six tons of. glassware and one ton of silverware, . . , Little worider Mr. Makin admits today (after much .pressure) that he’s “probably fried more chicken than any man in Indiana.” . But he says he doesn’t cook at home . , . and only likes to cook for groups. Likes Young People MRS. MAKIN WILL tell you he does like to cook thick steaks. . . . Being the “head man” of a busy place like the Riviera club means only long hours for Mr. Makin and his wife . . , says he puts in about 12 to 14 hours a day . .. and the couple even washed the dishes one evening after 200 persons had been served, because there wasn't a dish-washer available. . . . Mrs. Makin says husband Jim is even-tem-

pered, but he does have his own ideas about how|

things should be cooked ... and he ran a cook out of the kitchen one night several years ago and finished the banquet himself because the careless cook started to fry the chicken in burned grease. . . . One thing Mr. Makin can't do in the kitchen is bake, he says—but he can tell you how to do it. . + « He's a swimmer, of course, but doesn't have time to take part in any other sports . . . except to “run away” to Florida with Mrs. Makin at the close of the summer season , . . and there he takes an active part in fishing parties. . . . Although the Makins have never had any children of their own, Mr. Makin has put four boys through college . . . boys he sponsored because one or both of their parents had died. . . . At 60, Mr. Makin says he “likes” young people.. . . an admiration that prompted him to disregard the advice of friends and gamble the family savings to create a resort where they could have clean fun . . . and where families could relax in a picnic-ground atmospjere. (By Art Wright.)

The sun sank slowly behind the mountains, streaking and splashing the clouds with red and gold, but the magnificence of the colors was lost in the dark-

‘ness of our worry.

Comfortable Night ge FINALLY IN desperation, we stopped at a place that 30 minutes before we wouldn't have considered. They didn’t have a cabin, but they had a vacant room in a long tenement-type building. The room was dingy and gave me the blues the moment I stepped into it. It was bare except for two double beds with hard mattresses, a couple of straight chairs. Some of the screens were broken, and we had the uncomfortable feeling that germs were hiding everywhere. There was a lavatory in the room, but it wasn’t working. The price was $3. We said thanks, biit maybe we'd better drive on to Harrison. On the outskirts of town we came to the Crescent motor court—fresh, clean stuccoed units with a lot of space between, bright lights, a wide lawn with chairs for guests, a swing for children. We didn’t have much hope, but we drove up to ‘the office, and a white-haired man came up to the car and greeted us pleasantly. “Wonder if you have anything vacant?” I asked weakly. “Four, eh? Yes, I have a cabin with double beds. Strictly modern—bath, electric fan, hot and cold water. Four dollars,” he said. I wanted to hug him, “I think you'll be comfortable,” he said. “Others have gone up to $5 for this kind of unit; but IT haven't advanced my price. If you have an electric hot plate, you'll find plenty of places to plug it in.” That sounded good because that was exactly what we wanted to do. The night before my wife had dug up our old electric grill. We had all the makings of a good meal, plugged in the grill—-but it was out of order. Then we thought of our little GI gasoline stove. A little later, my wife had a delicious stew boiling away—on an improvised table in the bathroom of the cabin. We had a fine meal—and a comfortable night.

it possible to operate it at several hundred million volts. A new giant 184-inch cyclotron is being built at the University of California, under Nobelist Ernest O. Lawrence. Another atom-smasher, the synchrotron which has unusual qualities all its own, is being developed by Prof. Edwin M. McMillan. It will develop 300,000,000 electron volts. With the giant cyclotron it makes a pair of the most powerful instruments for atomic bombardment in the world.

Making Hay While Sun Shines

WITH THIS new array of atomic artillery many new discoveries about the constitution of matter and the action of atomic particles may be expected in forthcoming months.

ST. JOSEPH, Mich, July 9.—~Making hay while the sun’ doesn’t shine seems to be the motto of a Pennsylvania farmer whose hay curing process has been reported to the American Society of Agricutural Engineers by R. C. Miller of Ohio State university. The farmer, . Herbert Muffley, near Easton, Pa. used a large fan, an automobile engine and an improvised wind tunnel to dry ‘®ay in his barn after having baled it in the field. With this makeshift equipment he made hay that sold for $60 per ton as opposed to $46 a ton for his best field cured hay. Barn curing is generally used for loose, long hay with a small power unit, but Mr. Muffley increased his returns using 28 to 48 horsepower from an automobile engine in an old-fashioned overhanging Dutch barn with a lean-to shed.

Some -little boys who had come there in a very cowed frame of mind were painting happily in a big, light room. I could not help feeling again-a sense of satisfaction at the evident contentment that reigned among them. In the evening, five members of the Gold Star Wives of World War II came here for supper, and then we went to Poughkeepsie.

The - “queen of the carriers,” the Saratoga, which escaped serious damage in the recent test, may go to her doom July 25.

The Sara is sure to be showered with the heavy water fall expected from a column of water. The column, predicted to be a half-mile in’ diameter, will shoot thousands of feet in the air and blast ship fragments and water two miles high. The target array has not been determined, Adm.

Labor - ‘Unions Oppose Gurney Act's

‘Protection’

By FRED W. PERKINS WASHINGTON, July 13.~This concerns a war hangover problem, produced by conflicting rulings of federal bureaus and hesitancy of congress to answer a vote-laden question. : A vital subject, jobs, is involved and also the interests of organized labor and many veterans, But all concerned are left uncertain unless congress acts before adjournment for the year, The labor department appears in

intended to protect employers from money damages if they followed sce lective service rulings on restoratiof of veterans to the jobs they hell when they entered service. n - - THE LABOR department dis agreed all along with Gen, Lewis B. Hershey, director of selective service, and sided with labor unions in the long controversy over whether. veterans had “super-seniority” undes the selective service law of 1940 and could displace civilians who had greater actual seniority. The house passed late in May, without debate or roll-call, a bill which would protect employers from being sued by employees displaced under the Hershey policy, and a similar measure, by Senator Gurney (R. 8. D.), is now before

the senate military affairs come mittee, ' In senate committee hearings

yesterday the Gurney bill was supporfed by spokesmen for selective service and by Howard E. Blood, president of the Norge Division of Borg-Warner Corp. and a director

of the National ' Association of Manufacturers. " » » OPPOSITION WITNESSES in-

cluded Meyer Bernstein, of the C. I. O. veterans division, and Shaen McCarthy, representing Secretary Schwellenbach, and Maj. Gen. Graves B. Erskine, head of the department's retraining and re-employment administration. Mr. McCarthy opposed the bill because he said “it would penalize many individuals who were demoted or fired because. of the super-seniority policy.” He said that discharges of workers under “super. seniority” had affected a large number of others whose normal seniority position was thereby disturbed. ® ® ” “THE FIRST decision in the | Fishgold case was rendered by an arbitrator May 4, 1945, holding con-

trary to the director of selective

service, Thereupon the veteran went to court, and on Aug. 30, 1945, obtained the opposite decision. The decision of fhe circuit court of appeals, reversing the district court, was handed down March 4, 1946. “At each reversal the employer changed his policy to comply with the latest decision, and became liable for lost wages to displaced employees: either to veterans under the law or to non-veteran ems ployees under the collective bargaining agreements. This lability was not only to one individual but to all employees as to whom it should ultimately be determined that the employer had misconstrued the law or violated the terms of the collective bargaining agreement.” n = » MR. BLOOD told the senate committee: “We have been completely in sympathy with the desire of congress to give veterans every possible advantage in regaining jobs they left to enter the armed services. At the same time, employers have had no desire to discharge or demote workers with long and good service records. Discharges to make room for returning veterans have not been pleasant. Yet employers believed that was what. the law and public policy approved ¥ . ovuE

To Be Begga

~ By RUTH MILLETT AMERICANS have had to beg for so long, and for so many of the necessities of life, that it's a wonder they have any diginity left. Certainly, we all hate to find ourselves in these begging situations: Begging a butcher for a pound of hamburger. Standing in line for stockings. ” » » : SAYING TO a clerk in a men's store: “Could you possibly find me a white shirt?”—and then, In an attempt to win his sympathy, ex plaining the desperate need for one. Begging for an automobile for which one expects to pay a plenty high price—and, if one has no scruples against bribery, perhaps even offering a fat bonus in addition to the sale price. Pleading for a hotel room. Going back time after time for a train reservation, saying during each try: “Ill take anything I can get.” Admitting apologetically, to the man one is trying to win as a new landlord, that there are children in the family.
