Inside’ Indianapolis ;

BIRCHWOOD, Evergreen, Balsam, Coliseum, Hemlock—that’s the-order of avenues as they run south off of Fairfield and how, we wondered, did that stone

building get in among all those trees? . . . Coliseum

boasts just as many trees as any of its neighboring tree-named avenues, we decided after staring south down the one-block avenue a few minutes. And, as far as we could see, there were no Roman rains. , . . en, looking north, we saw the answer. A short span of Coliseum ave. winds up to the Fairgrounds,

art ultimately to the Coliseum. Our guess at the

origin of the name was confirmed when we dropped in to chat with one of the street's veteran residents, Mrs. Henry Knaff, of 3646 Coliseum. Some residents, she said, have tried to change the name of the street to confirm with the forest nomenclature of the -area. However, it turned out to be a knotty problem with just as many “fer” and “agin.” So, Coliseum it remained. .. . The Knaffs' yard is typical of every one on the street, in that it's well-kept afid boasts flowers.

Years ago Mrs. Knaff built a stone wall and small

rock garden in the front, yard, with Mr. Knaff made superintendent in charge of planting and taking care of the flowers. 2

A Convincing Growler : WE'RE CONVINCED that most of the residents were bitten with “away-from-home-itis,” yesterday. On the east side of the street particularly we found only one person at home. And he, we learned with "dismay, was shaving. . . , A few houses down we met another victim of the meat shortage, a Scotty who was keeper of the yard at 3629. After withstanding a couple of close inspections, accompanied by growls from the hungry-looking dog we decided we would rather have our legs than a conversation with the residents of the house. , . . The neighbors later told us he didn't bite—just a convincing growler. Well, we were convinced. ... . Mrs. William H. Kight, 3630, told us in one breath that she was “getting too old to can much,” and in the next she'd just finished 100 ars of grape jelly (keep away; it's not for sale) and e forgot how many cans of grape juice, chili sauce, omatoes and other delicious sounding things. Both Mr. and Mrs. Kight (incidentally, there's no “n” in the name and it's pronounced “Kite”), were doing the canning, the same as they've done every fall in 52 years of married life. Mr. and Mrs. Kight became “Mom and Dad” to many servicemen whom they rented rooms to during the war. They still get letters from their former roomers, who are now scattered all over the country. Both the Kights are from Greenfield and both are great admirers of a fellow resident, James Whitcomb Riley. Mrs. Kight was baptized in the “ole swimmin’ hole,” Mr. Kight went to school at the same time as the poet and lived “just across the road,” from the Riley home.

Surplus

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—The war assets administration has mountains, literally, of radio and telephone equipment for sale, it thinks, perhaps, maybe. It doesn’t know. It has no idea where all the stuff is; 1t doesn’t even know where all its warehouses are. What's in any single warehouse is a mystery to the proprietors. War veterans have been trying to buy these materials and as of latest count, 75,000 orders are on hand. They're piled up in a corner at headquarters, seen by nobody except the clerks who finally got around to slitting the envelopes. The more you read of this dispatch the madder you're likely to get; I hasten to report that it is based entirely upon sworn testimony before the congressional committee headed by Rep. Roger Slaughter (D. Mo.). As a taxpayer, myself, I'm not so happy, either.

He Wasn't Boastful

SO THERE was an old codger by the name of obert G. McCurdy, who'd been pensioned by the Graybar Electric Co., in 1942. He did know. something about telephones and last year he got a job with the surplus property outfit, His bosses kept quitting or getting fired and by a process of elimination he found himself in charge of the billions in electronics by February of this year. He stuck it out as long as he could, he testified, but so many incompetents (his word) were. bossing so many things they didn’t understand that he threw up his hands last month and quit. One of the congressmen asked him what kind of

A ° ti OUR NATIONAL airport situation is sour. and it's been sour for years. Spending federal money to increase the dimensions of airports already in exist=

ence, and to build more, won't sweeten this mess.

It is the airport management angle that is wrong. Too many airport managers are reactionary, untrained ahd inexperienced in business administration. Time was when a road builder or gang boss who knew how to lay drainage tiles, level the land, plant grass, pour concrete ramps and act as a boss policeman was about all that was expected of an airport manager, Generally they weren't pilots. Some of them had never flown, wouldn't fly and haven't flown yet. Stil, many of them are running modern airports with no fire-fighting equipment—or, if there is any, antiquated and inadequate—any kind of eating joint they call an airport restaurant; rest rooms, if any, dirty and inadequate; and lack of ‘management which as turned hangars into fire traps and poor insurance sks. + These managers know of only one way to raise money enough to pay their own salaries and the maintenance cost of the field—and that is by raising hangar rentals, levying higher taxes on all flying operations, By neither training nor experience are thev ready to administer the volume of business of either air or surface traffic that comes to a modern airport.

Of course, the situation is very different now. After world war I, we did not occupy other countries so extensively. i We had troops along the Rhine for a short time.

home of Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Furness, of 3642, Mrs. Furness, a native New Englander, brought many of her precious antiques when she moved to Indianapolis two years ago. One was a Hoadbly clock, made in 1770, which had never before been out of Maine. Since 1770, she told us, the clock has kept perfect time. We stood very near, hoping our watch (which seldom runs, let alone perfectly), would take the hint. . .". Another family heirloom is a doll that has withstood the ravages of five generations. made jointed affair of maple and lead, which passed down from Mrs. Furness’ great-grandmother, to grandmother, to’ mother, to her, and finally to her daughter, Patsy.

Pre-Dated Memo

SO THE DAY wore on, with one startling admission after another from a series of war asset gentlemen, until finally one Walton A. Bostwick, a fat man with eyeglasses, told about fixing the files to order. He didn't apologize. He said he was amazed that the congressmen were interested. The Hallicrafter Co. of Chicago was one of the selling agents. It, sold more than 200 radio-equipped trucks, valued by the war assets administration at $7500 each. Only it charged $4500.

Eventually the Monon hopes to replace all its 72 steam engines in regular service with powerful Diesel electrics. Although -the Interstate Commerce commission's valuation of the Monon is now $25 million, the management expects to spend an equal amount in ‘the next five years. Of this total eight million is earmarked for new Diesel power, three and a half million fof passenger cars, eight million for freight cars and the balance for rail, signaling, grading. bridges and the like, ¥ ” w BEHIND the whole program is Barriger, the youngest Class:-1 rallroad president in the country. He knows rajlroads, he has an engineering background, a keen business sense and a human quality that endears him to employees. He has become the Bo McMillin of the railroad knife-and-fork league, and it's nothing for him to make as many as eight speeches in a day before Hoosier shipping groups and other meetings.

Formerly with the Pennsylvania and T. P. and W, railroads and a railroad director of the RFC, he's enthusiastic about his job with Monon. “It's small enough to be fun,” ‘he says, “big enough to be interesting.” » ~ SHIPPERS are beginning to know him from Louisville to.Chicago. He made a stop at one factory at Orleans, Ind., toured the plant and left with an order te place a box car on the factory's spur the next morning. The plant previously had shipped exclusively

by truck. On another occasion he stopped his train at Salem to thank the weekly editor for a favorable editorial. Of the Monon's estimated 2000 employees, Mr. Barriger judges he knows about half by name. He hopes to know all in a few months. The Monon's plan for a superrailroad is admittedly visionary and long-range. It may not succeed completely. But if it doesn't it won't be for lack of persistent, personal, on-the-spot management by John Walker Barriger,

AVIATION will pay its way like-any other business but it can't stand this blackjacking from incompetent airport management much longer. Likewise, municipalities are getting sick and tired of looking at airport deficits. The worst offenders are those little lords of airports—the opportunists who got in early, untrained in engineering, bossed the gangs that built the field, and are absolutely ignorant of business practices and admihistration—who are still holding down airport

“management jobs.

The running of an airport is a business, Businessmen know that airports can pay ‘their way only when managed by business executives who attract businesses to an airport which are other than purely aviation operations, Hervey Law, manager of the Washington National airport, and a handful of wide-awake aiiport executives have proved that an airport can ‘be operated at a profit, but only from rentals and service charges paid by auxiliary businesses made part of a modern air terminal. There is no more attractive asset for a restaurant, in addition, of course, to good food and good service, than to permit patrons to sit at a table where they can watch airplanes landing and taking off while they are dining. No municipality can afford the old-time political airport manager who is there as an archaic challenge to the merit ‘system of American enterprise.

By LYLE C. WILSON United Press Staff Correspondent : WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.—A group of left wing leaders including a couple of former Roosevelt cabinet members announced plans today to patch together the pieces of the late President's New Deal political ore ganization, The movement is aimed at the November elections but fairly could be regarded as a long-range antiadministration development aimed at 1948, Sponsors of the movement hope to rally millions of voters around a statement of objectives as millions for years rallied around Franklin D. Roosevelt's dynamic personality. Three opganizations are sponsore ing a week-end conference in Chie cago, to organize the independent and left wing vote. The sponsoring organizations are Harold L. Ickes' Independent Committee of the Arts, Sciences and Professions, the C.1. 0, Political Action Committee and the National Citizens P. A.C. . ” . FORMER SECRETARY of Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr, will be chairman of the conference session Saturday, Sept. 28. Mr. Morgenthau left.the Truman cabe inet last year in surprise when the President snapped up his offer te quit, Among the speakers will be Mr, Ickes, President Philip Murray of the C. I. O. Secretary Walter White of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and Senator Claude Pepper (D. Fla), A. F. Whitney of the. Brotherhood of Railroad Traine men is among the conference spone sors, : Mr. Ickes angrily resigned from the cabinet last March in dispute with Mr. Truman. Senator Pepper has been more outspoken than Henry A. Wallace in defense of the Soviet Union and in opposition to administration foreign policy. Mr, Whitney declared war on the President when he forced settlement of the railroad strike, ~ » » THE CONFERENCE call exe ° plained that it was to be .a meete ing of leaders only of interested organizations. The purpose is to give these representatives of Amer« ican independent voters “the ope portunity to find common ground for joining their strength.” There was no mention of the Truman administration in the con« ference call which was addressed to “progressives.” Instead, the call blasts the record of the 79th cone gress which recessed this summer and warns that the November elec= tions will decide the nation's fue ture. “For the last 12 years,” the call says, “the independent’ voters have been the final factor at the polis. When they rallied behird liberal candidates, ‘Democratic leadership grew strong. Now Franklin D, Roosevelt is gone, but the fighting men and women who supported him can still fulfill his unrealized program. Only through the active co-operation of :independent groups and organized labor can the proe gressive movement survive.” Substituting a platform for spec. tacular political figure as a rally ing point for voters is one of the most difficult tricks in the book, The next step after that would be an effort to take over the Demo« cratic party.
