WHEN IRVINGTON WAS ANNEXED to Indianapolis longer ago than we'd care to let on that we remember, some name changing was necessary. Because both Irvington and Indianapolis had Central aves, one had to be changed to avoid confusion.

Irvington gave in; they: gave, their Central ave. a ‘name more in keeping with its rambling gait, tower-

Audubon: rd. and Audubon rd. is where we went ~. “neighboring” yesterday. . . . “Everything's quiet and \eacable out here,” Oren Flake told us as he sat cone mplatively. on his front porch, puffing away on a _ pipe. His remark was a good description of the secs | tion as any we could think of. Mr, Flake, who lives at 396, has a formula to remind people of his name, “Always tell them it rimes with corn flakes,” he said, -»taking another slow puff, “and ‘they don't forget.” No, but someone might confuse him with Kellogg or Post. . . . What looked like the remains of four or . five big elms was being hacked down by Mrs. Francis Schulz when we passed her house. After we got in | a conversation with her, however, we -learned it all came from one big tree. The tree, which workmen said might be between 300 and 400 years old, was one of more than a thousand Irvington elms which became diseased and died this year. . . ,-A few weeks ago as many as five crews of tree men were at work on the street, just at the same time the street was - being paved. The section is just now getting back to its normal serene existence. , .. With all the treecutting that's been going ‘on, Irvington would be a likely section for people looking for fireplace wood.

Past . . . Present . . . Future

THE BIG HOUSE at the corner of Audubon and Rawls ave, was our next stop. There, in a house that was built 42 years ago by Carpenter Sherman 8S. Willoughby, we talked with his widow about Irvington in past, present and future tenses. Mrs. Willoughby has lived in Irvington 52 years, and on that corner 42 years. In that time she’s come to the conclusion that Irvingtonites never get comnletely away from Irvington. Even if they move, # said, they come back, Just Sunday she had a visit from Mrs. Francis McCarty Johnson, who grew up across the street. Mrs. Johnson lives in California now, but: he visits Irvington frequently. ., . To support her heory that the natives don’t leave, she pointed out Mrs. Gertrude Gray, of 372, who points with pride to 368 years in Irvington. The lot on which Mrs. Gray lives is typical of Irvington; it's cut on the bias. We'd asked before why Irvington had so many curving streets and diagonal lots and had received all sorts of answers. Mrs. Gray's answer -was that the people who plotted Irvington chopped up a snake. Then, every time the snake twisted they put in a street. At least that's the story that Mrs .Gray heard from the old-timers.

A eo t1 ’ NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Pan-American World Airways’ request to the civil aeronautics board for permission to operate super-fast airliners linking 13 domestic clties with its overseas’ service indicates pursuit plane speeds that will reduce present-day schedules by more than one-half. It poses an interesting picture for 1947 because, through use ‘of new upcoming airliners, the 1946 world will, figuratively, shrink to half its size from an aviation standpoint. Pan-American, in seeking domestic routes, is only asking a 50-50 deal, inasmuch as some domestic airlines already are flying global routes in competition to P. A. A., the pioneer. For it was Pan-American that pioneered long-haul, overseas operations and blazed the nation's global ation trail, long before world war II. Despite the new high speeds promised, new-type luxury and comfort are going to be offered as the huge Boeing Stratocruisers and Republic Rainbows take to the. air, five to eight miles high. The Stratecruiser, peacetime version of the famed B-29 Superfortress, which dropped the atomic bombs , on Japan, is a two-decker weighing 135,000 pounds with full load. It can fly at 30,000 feet, can carry 80 passengers and includes 14 fine lounge seats.

My Day

NEW YORK, Monday.—To the average person on the outside, like myself, the whole situation regarding Secretary of Commerce Wallace's speech and Secretary of State Byrnes’ reaction is very confusing. As I read Mr. Wallace's speech, it seems to me he

tried to make clear that we neither approved of British imperialism nor of Soviet aggression. He stated that we wanted to be friendly with Russia— that we wanted .to meet her half-way—but that she also had™fo meet us half-way. It is perfectly obvious that we desire no European territory, But we have a distinct interest in keeping Europe at peace since, when war comes there, we invariably find ourselves involved.

Hesitant in Trust AS LONG as the atom bomb is in our possession alone, and is not controlled by the United Nations, it is perhaps natural that other nations should be hesitant to trust our motives. . But our whole history points to two things—(1) that fundamentally we have been stirred to help people who were oppressed in the past; and, (2) that aggression for the sake of territorial aggrandizement L gas never been a temptation for us. We still have sufficient natural resources and land to accommodate our people, and it looks as though that would continue to be the case for some time to come. Added to this, we have had a streak of inventive genius which has provided us with new resources which have benefitted not only ourselves but the rest of the world.

SECOND SECTION

(Joseph L. Myler of the United Press Washington staff, covered both the aerial and underwather explosions of the atomic bombs at Bikini.)

By JOSEPH L. MYLER United Press Staff Correspondent

:|The underwater atomic exploi |sion at Bikini strengthened the conviction of many per‘|sons in and out of the armed ‘forces that the armies and navies of world war II are out of date. The explosion added a new dimension to warfare. Defensive weapons, as now constituted, would be helpless against it,

It was a dimension of invisible and soundless death, It persists for months in the form of widely disseminated radioactivity against which no protection now seems feasible, » .

Pierre Morgan. . , , He dispenses Irvington anecdotes and iodine.

201 Audubon. Mr. Morgan, who has been dispensing iodine and “Jrvingtonia” since 1922, has a record of running the oldest continuous drug business in that section. And before he had the store, his father ran a confectionary there. . . . Between Mr, Morgan and a customer, Charles Hartman, we picked up a lot of information. One of Mr, Morgan's favorite stories is about Goodwin Weaver, a former Irvingtonite now. with TWA. When a novice, “Goodie,” who founded the first flying field in Irvington, built a plane in the basement of his home, at Audubon and Beechwood. When the fuselage was finished, however, he couldn't get it out of the basement. “But he didn't take the plane apart,” chuckles Mr. Morgan, -“No sir, lie just took the window and foundation out of one side of the basement and moved it out. . . From Mr, Morgan and Mr. Hartman (the latter's family has been in Irvington since the 1830's) we learned every‘thing from the site of the old Thomas Carr Howe and Scott Butler homes to how school was held over the site of Mr. Morgan’s drugstore between the burning of the old school and the construction of school 57. . . . We'd heard before that there wasn’t anything that you couldn't get in a corner drugstore, and now we're convinced that takes in everything, history included. a

® » »n % IT WAS a dimension the nature of which is not yet fully understood and about which the military is reluctant to talk-—ostensibly for reasons of national security. But from what jg known, it seems reasonable to speculate that the atomic bomb, as a depth charge, could: ONE: Knock out a major harbor, like New York's, for months. TWO: Spread radioactive poison throughout a waterfront area, in the case of New York, knocking out the nation’s financial heart and stopping’ traffic in its most vital port, THREE: Clamp an unbreakable blockade on certain strategic straits and perhaps large coastal regions. » ” » THE HIROSHIMA, Nagasaki, and Bikini atomic air bursts loosed violence of an order which made obsolete many existing concepts of military defense. But such atomic violence, however complete, is short term. Armies could have marched safely, through Hiroshima and Nagasaki the day after their destruction. There was no lingering radioactivity to make either area untenable from a strictly military viewpoint. It was dissipated in high strata of the atmosphere. Moreover, the military has since thought up answers of a sort to the atomic air bomb. Decentralize cities and industries, Put them underground. Scatter naval establishments. Keep fleets at sea widely dispersed. Make the threat of retaliation so real that no aggressor will dare to start an atomic war.

2 8 =» IN ADDITION, the first Bikini test—in which the bomb was exploded many hundred feet in the air—proved that atomic violence has its- limits. It proved that fleets, at least— given fundamental changes in tactics, strategy, and ship design— could endure atomic bombing and remain operational. It also proved, according to army observers, that the atomic air bomb is not at its best as a tactical

Books Created Controversy

HE TRAVELED all over the world, making speeches in whatever language seemed appropriate. A while back I thought I'd get away from the politicians during a month's vacation in the Mexican hinterland; I registered at the Villareal hotel in Guadalajara. Henry Wallace had checked in an hour before. He wrote seven books, every one of which created a controversy. There is no national magazine w has not published at least one article by Mr. Wallace. He has spoken in every sizeable town in Amesica. Once he said everybody in the world deserved a quart of milk a day. Yes, including Hottentots, he said later. 2 He is afraid of elevators, still dislikes honest Harold Ickes, and produces (on farms managed by his brother) .$4,000,000 worth of hybffd corn seed a year. He was a member of the new, deal three years before he took his name off the Republican rolls; not until 1944 did he pay his $1 in Indianapolis- to join the PAC.

The huge 116,500 pound (gross weight) Rainbow flies at 40,000 feet and at 430 miles per hour.

It has set up some fine speed records in unofficial flights. Delivery on the two new airliners is expected to. begin early in 1947 and they will be placed in service as rapidly as they are accepted.

Its power, though greater than any other ever unleashed by man, is too concentrated and too brief for effective use against small targets widely distributed, ’

» # = v BUT THE second Bikini test— in effect a depth charge—added enduring and spreading horror, with overtones of inevitable doom. Exploded below the surface of Bikini lagoon, it saturated with radioactive poison millions of tons of erupting water which descended in atomized form.

They would have been kept out of action for weeks and months. Forty-five days after test Baker some target ships still were too “hot” radiologically for- crews to live aboard them. Moreover, changes in ship design, while useful against air blast, would have little effect on a vessel's vulnerability to radioactivity, Deadly emanations from split atoms permeated even the watertight compartments below decks on Baker day, : ; , 8 8 : IN ADDITION to the tons of poisoned water which drenched target ships, the underwater burst also created a rapidly expanding surface fog nearly five miles across at its maximum. . Read Adm. G. 8. Parsons, deputy commander of joint task force one at Bikini, described this product of the underwater bomb as “the most poisonous fog that ever existed in the history of the world.” The Baker bomb also generated clouds of heavy vapor which rolled over a much larger area. These clouds—from which there was a constant “fallout” of deadly mist—were tracked for more than 60 miles as they drifted sluggishly with the wind. :

I have always disliked saying that we had assumed a “tough” policy toward Russia.

A view of the Baker day test at Bikinl. .’, , Dead ly clouds of heavy vapor were generated, which drifted in a lethal path of more than 60 miles, as the mist returned to the sea in a rain of death.

He commented then that the atomic bomb exploded underwater, was a unique and terrible weapon of “poison waifare.”

He refused to reveal precise measurements concerning the extent and intensity of radioactivity aboard the targets or disclose what success, if any, the task force was having in its efforts at artificial decontamination, : He said such things were “state

But weeks after he left Binkini on Aug. 11, natural decay seemed to be the only process making any headway against radioactivity aboard the more thoroughly impregnated ships.

- » » MEANWHILE, the underwater bomb’s capacity for making an area untenable for long periods was not lost on the military. Cmdr, Roger Revelle—in charge of oceanographic survey work at Bikini—suggested 15 days after the Baker burst that U, 8S. military intelligence obviously ought to get all data possible on currents in the world’s major harbors, “If radioactivity from the bomb were spread rapidly by currents,” Cmdr. Revelle said, “it might poison a whole harbor.” And if wind directions were right, radioactive spray and fog generated by a bomb planted—say, in New York harbor—might spread over and force evacuation of the entire waterfront and financial district. This would be, so to speak, a military premium added to the

bomb’s direct destruction of shipping within its lethal range. » ” »

RAIN falling through drifting vapor masses many miles away might drench other communities with doses of radioactive poison. This, while less intense than those nearer the burst, would nevertheless spread long-lasting and incapacitating illness if not death. Moreover, oceanographers know of harbors here and there in the world with currents so sluggish that radioactive poison deposited by an atomic depth charge would linger indefinitely instead of being dispersed.
