Inside Indianapolis By Donna Mikels

JUST CALL. us the Pied Piper of Dewey ave. That's the way we felt yesterday as we trailed up and down the 6000 block on Dewey with an entourage of anywhere from two to eight children. Some younger residents of the block decided we needed guides and their friends joined in. It was a new sport for them and not bad for us either—they proved very useful in routing housewives out of back yards and basement washday pursuits up to the front door. We didn't remember all of the children's names, but we had a more than even chance of being right if we called any of the girls “Ann.” . . . For instance, there was Dorothy Ann Schwieters of 6076 and Judith Ann Leech, of 6069; two of our “trailers.” The other “Anns” or “Annes” in the 6000 block include Mrs. Ann Haverstick, 6073; Judy Ann Killion, 6077; Carrie Ann Heller, 6019; Mrs. Jessie Ann Monce, 6015; Ann McCoy, of 6040, who's vacationing in California; the youngest Ann on the block, 6-weeks-old Barbara Ann Bogart, of 6045, and a frog which young John Robertson named “Ann” in hopes of getting her into a picture with the others. There were two Anns a few houses down, in the 6100 block. They are Ann Schumaker, of 6120, and Sally Ann Cooke, of 6105.

Mountain Trout

DURANGO, Colo, Aug. 6.—Mountain trout may be a delicacy to you, but John C. Henderson will take the chicken with cornbread and two vegetables. ug Mr. Henderson fs superintendent of the Colorado Fish Hatchery here. As we stood on the edge of a large outdoor vat I looked hungrily at a great school of eatin’'-sized rainbows racing around like skaters in a rink. Mr. Henderson said he and other hatchery employees weren't permitted to eat any of the fish. | “But after you work with fish all the time you loose your taste for them,” he added. “I'd rather have chicken. These hatchery fish don't have the flavor. They've been fed well and are fat and soft. They aren't good eating till they've been out in the sireams awhile and have fought for their food. Then they're hard and firm and full of flavor.”

Four Kinds of Trout

THE HATCHERY specializes in four kinds of trout —~rainbow, Eastern brook, Loch Leven and native. Most of the young ones in the vats this summer are rainbows. They and the Loch Levens grow largest. Mr. Henderson knows ‘of one rainbow, caught in a lake, that weighed 17! pounds. He says lots of them, and also Loch Levens, weigh 8, 10 and 12 pounds. The Eastern brooks and the natives get up to four or five pounds in the lakes, but don't grow nearly so large in the high streams. “But those smaller one® from the cold, swift waters are the best eating fish,” said Mr. Henderson. In Colorado it is illegal to keep any trout you catch that is less than seven inches long. Most of the fish planted in the streams and lakes are that long or longer, so if you catch one 30 minutes after he is released, he’s yours. It takes the hatchery fish shout a year to get that big. They are fed and continue to grow all winter. They are transported to their new homes in a special tank truck with machinery for keeping the

‘ A * t1 COME ON into this aviation business. The sky is the limit, not figuratively, but actually. There is no dearth of ingenious minds in it now, but there's room for lots mote. The American-built transport plane is unquestionably the finest in the world—fine enough for all the foreigners to buy them and tag them with their own type names. Those who don't buy our transport planes are building their own—spitting images of ours. > Despite this and all the near miraculous progress of the last few years, we've got a world of detail refinement facing us. Take for instance the business of refueling big four-engined)transports. We are still doing that job in the old-fashioned way of hauling gasoline lines up over the leading edges of the wings. Dragging the heavy hoses over the leading edges damages the de-icer equipment, which is made of sheet rubber. There are gas tanks in both wings. This means men walking all over the wings.

Wing Walking Dangerous THE WAR-HORSE DC-3, which is the backbone of our inimitable domestic airline setup, has a maximum gas capacity of a little moré’ than 800 gallons. The new DC-4's can carry more than 3000 gallons, and the loading of 3000 gallons of fuel into a plane takes time. And still we are building planes with fuel tanks which must be refueled through openings.in the upper surface of the wing. That's where the filler necks of the tanks are, and it is this design which necessitates men walking all over the wings. This walking on the wings is unsatisfactory. The

Harvester employees on the street. We're afraid to try to list them all, since a lot of people weren't home when we called. . . . William T. Ricketts, of 6072, has about half a dozen comfortable chairs on his front porch. The reason, we learned, is that Mr. Ricketts is practicing “just sitting” after carrying mail for more than 26 years. He's the exception to that old “postman’s holiday” rule. . . . The Robert Reeses, of 6068, never have any trouble finding out datd about popular movie stars or getting all the letterhead stationery they need. Daughter Barbara collects pictures of movie stars, and she keeps charts of personal information about the stars. ‘Son Robert majors in printing at Howe and keeps his family supplied with personalized stationery. We picked up another addition to our “following” when we

6064. Daughter Irene decided to join her playmates who were trailing along behind us. We had an interesting time listening to Irene and Barbara Dianne Schwieters, both at the “losing teeth” age, compare opinions ‘about whether placing . their lost teeth under their pillows would bring money from the fairies. Irene is~ convinced it will and we think Barbara was just about to loosen one of her shaky baby teeth to either prove or disprove the theory. .. +» Mr. and Mrs. James Maxfield of 6065, just moved to the neighborhood and they're also newly converted gardeners. It's their first attempt, Mrs. Maxfield told us, but Mr. Maxfield is as good at boast ing about his tomatoes as any veteran gardener. . . : The neighborhood boys were having a game of “Big Business” on the front porch of the Wayne Wilkinson residence, 6061, and Mrs. Wilkinson was next door visiting with Mrs. Dale Greenwood, of 6057. The boys didn't care too much for us after they found out they couldn't convihce us their middle names were: “Ann” and squeeze into a picture.

Long-Time Resident ' - SPEAKING OF name similarities there are two Emmas in the residence at 6056, Mrs. Emma Murdoch and her niece, Mrs. Emma Kirk. Mrs. Murdoch is one of the block’s veteran residents, having lived there 20 years. Mrs. C. O. Johnston, of 6044, beat her there by a week. But the real long term residents are Mr. and Mrs. Fred Smith, who've lived at 6014 for more than 24 years. . . . Another “double name”

dence, 6052. Both mother and daughter are named Florence. . . . Addie Dobbs, 6049, was pretty busy laying a rug when we called. We watched him for a while and can give pointers to any amateur rug layers we run into from now on. . . . One of.the favorites of the children in the block is C. C. Ashcraft,

of 6060. He makes a hobby of building gas model|

planes, much to the fascination of the block's young fry. . . . The residents of 6011 are Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Ray. Mr. Ray, who's bell captain at the Hotel Lincoln, does a good job of keeping the lawn and shrubs “dressed up” in his spare time. The only service flag we saw still in a window was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Hoyt, 6020. It's in honor of their son, Pfc. Robert Hoyt, who's still in the army. . . . We found at least one Harvester man at home. He was Virgil Muesing, of 6036, a “harvester” in two respects. He works at Inter-

ones two and three inches long. They were put into stfeams so high up in the mountains in such inaccessible places that they had to be carried up in small cans on horseback. The hatchery here has two large buildings filled with small vats, and several long strings of big outdoor tanks. Springs keep an abundance of water flowing through them constantly.

Albino Trout Kept as Pets

IN ONE VAT we saw some Albino trout. There were about a dozen of them, about 16 inches long, milky white with pink eyes. They just happened, and are kept as pets. As Superintendent Henderson showed us around, I noticed there was a worried look on his face. When we finished the tour he haltingly admitted he wasn’t sure I ought to write a piece about the hatchery without clearing it with state headquarters, “You have a sign that says, ‘Visitors Welcome’,” 1 pointed out. “You haven't told me anything you don’t tell others, have you?” “No,” he said. ‘“But I just received a letter trom Denver instructing me not to give out information for publication without permission.” - “That’s queer,” I said. “I should think they'd welcome publicity.” Mr. Henderson agreed with me. another look at the letter. He came back with it in his hand, chuckling. Everything was all right. The letter said for him not to give out any publicity about where fish were to be planted. “And that makes sense,” he said. “If we told everybody where we were going to plant these trout, lots of fishermen would rush there and catch them right away.”

wings of our new four-engined jobs are a good distance from the ground. In windy, gusty weather it's a pretty precarious job for a service man to hold his footing with the wing bobbing up and down. Then there's the icing problem in winter-time which can be counted upon to aggravate the situation,

Many Solutions Proposed ALL KINDS of solutions are being proposed, but nothing has yet been done. Among others, there's the scheme for refueling multi-engined transports frome underneath the wing. This scheme seems to hold valuable possibilities. Refueling can be done, and undoubtedly will be done, in this fashion—but how? I give this important detail as an example of the opportunities in this aviation business today. Got any inventive genius? If you can answer such a question affirmatively, then aviation's the place for you. : This is no indictment of the men who are already in the business. However, they are so busy with getting this enormous industry rolling and attending to the major jobs—their record is magnificent—that this fueling problem can have only a portion of their al+ ready limited time and experimental energy. Mind you, I am sketching only a single item. There are a dozen more wide-open problems waiting for the right ‘men who have the answers. And for the answers, there are careers and comfortable compensation. Five or ten minutes saved in refueling operations means that much more time that a plane can be in the air earning its upkeep. The: whole business is crammed with opportunities.

Della always has had a fair cut of the world’ goods, but some peasant ‘strain in Her still remembers a generation when a penny or a crust of bread meant life or death. She is the most unpredictable mixture of parsimony and poundfoolishness I've ever met. She resigned from the Women's Club when they raised the price of their monthly luncheons from 35c to 50c. She said she couldn't afford to pay that much.

pro cakes—and she figured in the amount of electricity used in the baking, and her time on a union wage scale. Then, when the cakes were auctioned off they sold for less: than Della figured they had cost her— and of course the P-T. A. pocketed the money. DELLA WAS so mad that she gave a party herself for the children from across Marlin st., just to show the P.-T. A. up. She was afr to give it in her home because the kids might smash some of her lamps or scratch her furniture, 30 the youngsters came to our house. Della had ordered ice cream in molds and two huge decorated cakes and there was an expensive toy for each guest as'a favor.

A.F.of L. Blames | C.I. O. for Boosf In Living Costs

By FRED W. PERKINS WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The American Federation of Labor HAs put the blame for overturning the price applecart on the C. I. QO, “Practically the entire living costs rise,” su.ys the A. F. of L.'s monthly survey for August, “has occurred since the steelworkers (C. MM. O, union led by Philip Murray) forced the price ceiling break in February, and has occurred as a direct resul of that break.” : The steel union's wage «victory, which was won after the. govern ment had agreed to raise steel prices, resulted, the A. F, of L. says, in “bringing a flood of demands for price increases. The resulting pressure has all but ended effective price control.” The steelworkers, the federation points out. “were offered a 15-cent wage increase without strike and without breaking the price ceilings; their insistence on: striking and bringing the government into ecollective bargaining won them only 3% cents more; they have already lost six cents from living cpst rises {resulting from their action and | stand to lose a great dea: more as {prices rise further.”

” » ” THE A. F. of L, complaint continues that if the steelworkers had been “willing to stick to genuine collective bargaining under price ceilings, they would have their 15 cents today, and all other Americans would have been spared immense losses throughy the rapid living cost rise.” __The C. I. O. story is different, It is that the A. F. of L. unions, while refraining largely from striking, got a “free ride” toward higher wages and that the break in price control was due to causes other than wage increases. Data from OPA show that settlements of all the big strikes of late 1945 and the first half of this {year were followed by price cone |cessions to the basic producers of petroleum, steel and coal and manufacturers of automobiles, electrical equipment, farm machinery endl’ other products. 2

» » » -THIS WAS in spite of arguments of Walter Reuther and other union leaders, with support from some government officials — inchiding Secretary of Commerce Wallace — that wages could be substantially increased and industry could make {fair profits at the old level of prices. | The OPA records show that very | important wage boost was followed | uniformly by a price boost. | The reported disposition of union leaders to make no further immediate demands for more wages. at {least until the price situation be- | comes clearer, is regarded by in- | dustrialists as evidence that the {labor economists are not willing to go to bat again with the Reuther | theory—at least, not now.
