Inside Indianapolis

WE FELT as if we'd stopped in the middle of a sentence yesterday, just visiting one of Woodruff Place’s four drives. So, we retraced oui” steps for a brief visit to East, West and Cross drs., the three we hadn't visited. before. . . , One of the residents of East dr. is Miss Mary Rigg, director of the Southwest Settlement house. She's the social worker, youll re~ member, who was recently honored at a dinner given by men who had “graduated” from her settlement @: We didn't get to see Miss Rigg at their hore t 730. « A musical family resides at 711 East dr. the home of Mr, ahd Mrs, O. F. Kell, If Son Thomas Isn't playing his trumpet, Daughter Luella is likely to be piaying either the piano or organ. Miss Kell, a student at Tech high school, already has about 13 years of music study and three compositions completed and off to New York. . , . A fourth generation Woodruffite, young David Kerdriek, greeted us at the door of his grandmother's house. David; the grandson of Mrs. Margaret Kendrick, of 698 East dr. likes nothing better than a visit with “Nana.” It's not surprising that he's fond of Woodruff Place. His ‘ great-grandmother, the late Mrs. Margaret Messick, was about the third person to move in after Woodruff was founded. Both his grandmother and’ his father, Dr. William Kendrick, grew up in the town within a town. David's visit on his 17-month- ~birthday yesterday occasioned a bit of addition and substraction. Whenever he comes Mrs. Kendrick adds all the lamps and breakables to the ornaments on fhe mantel and subtracts all the ashtrays from the tables. With his favorite objects out of reach, David cheerfully resorts to “the drawer,” one which belongs exclusively to him and his brother Billie. He’d just fished out an assortment of cards and divided them solemnly between the two of us yesterday when his father came for him. We never did learn from him what game we were to play with the five kings and six threes we held.

Perfect Setting for Pictures ONE OF THE MOST striking homes on East dr. is that of Mr. and Mrs. Brandt T. Steele, of 811. Mr, _ Steele designed the home himself back in 1904. It's & perfect setting for pictures by his father, the late T. C, Steele, and Mr. and Mrs. Steele's collections of @® art works and many another fascinating

objects. Two par ticularly beautiful objects are a small frame and a framed mirror, These items were the

first and the last objects (in that order) which Mr. ~

Brandt designed while associated with H. Lieber Co. - « Mr: Steele has many interests, art, photography, music, arts and crafts, and lately he’s amused himself with a study of weaving. He built a small loom to give to the Children's: museum and a large loom with 12 very complicated. One of his friends jokingly accused very complicated, - One of his friends jokingly accused him of getting his wires crossed and forecast that he'd end up with a pipe organ instead of a loom. . Mrs. Steele let us in on how a statue of Minetva ended up in a fountain on East dr. Originally the fountain was centered with a statue of a nymph with a water jug

Mrs. Minton, the former Madge Rutherford, has been a Woodruffite since childhood, thus giving Brooks the honor of beihg a second generation resident.

Pipeline Blunder By Frederick C. Othman

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—There is a useless pipeline stretching 500 miles in the subaretic from one icy nowhere to another. It cost us $133,000,000. There's no chance of getting our money back. The secretary of the navy was against completing it. The secretary of war didn’t think it was such a hot idea. Old curmudgeon Harold Ickes said it was plain silly. Oil experts said it wouldn't work. Several legislators took a look at the pipe freezing in the muskeg in 1943 and reported back to Harry 8S. Truman, then the senator from Missouri, that the pipeline was a colossal waste of money. Sendtor Truman urged in a formal report that the string of pipe, already rusting, be ‘abandomed while there still was a chance to save a few million dollars. The chiefs of staff ignored all this. They ordered the pipeline finished. There it is today—all hands seem to agree—a monumental blunder of the -war.

Why Not Forget It? THIS IS NOT exactly news. Ex-Senator Truman, who had moved up to a better job, announced a few weeks back from the White House that the Canol pipeline was a dead duck. We'd lost our money— enough to build -at least 100 liberty ships—but there wasn't much we could do about it. So why not forget it? This seemed like a good idea to everybody, but Fleet Adm. Ernest J. King, formerly one of the four chiefs of staff. He said the senate war investigating committee had tried to make him look like the villain. "He ‘demanded a hearing. He got it. Boy! Did he get it!

A » ° viation NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Upcoming near-stratosphere flying is going to prove that the shartest distance between two points—aeronautically speaking—is not always the great circle route. It also will prove that the "shortest distance between two points” is not necessarily a straight line. In fact, American Airlines operations department, » after thorough study of “best track time” operations ,, aimed for use with the new Flagships—Douglas DC-6s and Republic Rainbows—have found that the “longest way around” oftimes is the quickest. way there. : , For instance, through using the weather air flow pressure map-for 20,000 feet Tor a 300-mile per hour cruising speed on the West coast-East coast route, 20- minutes and 135 gallons of gas can be saved on

the longest (mileage) route, although 149 extra ground miles will be covered.

THE GREAT CIRCLE route of 2483 miles will require 7 hours and 44 minutes. The second (or B) route of 2550 ‘miles will require 7 hours and 29 minutes, thus saving 15 minutes and, 100 -gallons of fuel, The third (or C) route of 2632 miles will require 7 hours and 24 minutes, saving the aforementioned 20 minutes and 135 gallons of fuel.

Va. said he wished the chiefs of staff had taken the advice of the senators long ago, instead of trying-to dress up their dead horse. The admiral said this was not the point. He said why blame him alone? The committee had blamed Adm. King because he signed some letters approving the project, 'He pointed out that he had signed in behalf of the four chiefs of staff; that it was a joint decision, “You mean you want us to blame this whole mess on the whole bunch of you?” Senator Kilgore said. The admiral nodded. : “And why should I be singled out as having a blot on my record?” the red-faced admiral insisted. “You think we should put a blot on all of the chiefs of staff?” Senator Kilgore asked.
