WHEN EDWIN 8. PEARCE, “daddy” of the Indianapolis Industrial exposition, needed stainless aluminum cases to house the exhibits, he wrote to manufacturers all over the country, asking them to supply

: the cases.

When he finally found the cases, their manufacturer’ was located only a hundred yards from Mr, Pearce's office. He had passed the firm, ‘the Engineering Metal Products Co., on his way to work every morning for 10 years without knowing what was manufactured there. / “It's a prime example of why we need the exposition,” smiles Mr, Pearce; who relishes the jokes his friends direct at him over the incident. “For the first time, many of our citizens may now know what we make in Indianapolis.” To those who saw the finished product when the exposition opened Thursday at the Union station, its planning might have been simple. But Mr. Pearce knows better. He has fathered the’ project ever since ‘the Indianapolis chamber of commerce, exposition sponsor, conceived the idea two and one-half years ago of advertising Indianapolis industry. Mr, Pearce then was C. of C. president, Civic leaders for some time fussed with the idea of conducting a tour on the Belt railroad of the city's industrial ring, pointing out various firms to visitors for the occasion. Then Mr. Pearce came up with the suggestion of the exposition. Draftsmen at the Railway Service & Supply Corp, of which he is president, drew blueprints of his plans. The idea “took.” The exposition was on.

Opening Plans Junked Twice NAMED CHAIRMAN of the Indianapolis Industrial commission governing committee, Mr. Pearce led the campaign to sell local industries on the idea. Plans for the grand opening were junked twice when overly optimistic persons prematurely forecast the end of the war. After the exposition was finally. opened, Mr. Pearce allowed he has been “a father four times and a grandfather once.” He explains that he has three daughters and a grandchild. His friends gave him the title of “Father of the Exposition.” Mr. Pearce sees possibilities of a great industrial future for the Hoosier capital. He considers the exposition a fine selling point for the city in its attempt to locate new industries here. “New industries will go to places where people are nice to them,” he reasons, “and passers through the Union station now can see that Indianapolis really appreciates its industries.

Success Depends on Citizens “IT IS GENERALLY recognized that industry and transportation are essential to the prosperity of a community,” says Mr. Pearce. “Their nature and extent, however, is too often not properly evaluated, but taken for granted.”

Mealy Letters

WASHINGTON, Nov, 9.—I have received so many bitter phone calls, telegrams and letters from restaurant owners, who insist they give their customers enough to eat, that only one thing keeps me from apologizing. This is a still taller stack of communications from hungry clients, who haven't had a filling meal in a beanery since before the war. Have a care, keepers of the greasy spoons. A week ago today I began my campaign for bread and butter and plenty of it; meat sliced thick enough to taste while going down; a second cup of coffee free; hamburger sandwiches with hamburger in 'em, and no more scoops of ice cream the size of pigeon eggs. You will be interested to know, gentlemen, that some famished editors in Clinton, Ia. have read this platform and nominated me for president. A starved citizen of Dover, N. H., has forwarded a three-cent stamp with a pitiful plea for the address of any restaurant I discover feeding its patrons properly. Dozens of New Yorkers and San Franciscans and others in between have reported they've had enough ef not having enough in restaurants. One communication have I received from a citizen who is satisfied with a restaurant and he’s an Atlanta, Ga., traveling salesman who finally localed in Charleston, S. C., a hotel where the food is as good as it is plentiful.

Invited to Dine in Style I DON'T WANT to be unfair about the restaurant keepers, but some of their communications gave me pause. The proprictor of a New York grill said he has seen my picture and I am too fat, anyway. One of his competitors down the street said he has too many customers as it is. A Cleveland waitress wrote that even if the boss allowed her to give a client a

Science PRESIDENT TRUMAN deserves great commendation for having chosen David E. Lilienthal as chair man of the new atomic energy commission, The appointment is an excellent one and it should do much to clear up the international situation with Téspect to -atomic--energy-as..well.-as..to--set--national efforts on the right track. : Mr. Lilienthal was clearly the man for the job, both by reason of his distinguished record as chair= man of the Tennessee Valley Authority and by reason of his brilliant services as chairman of the board of consultants which drew up the state department plan for the international control ‘of atomic energy. This plan, embodied in the so-called Lilienthal report, became the basis of the plan which Bernard Baruch proposed to the United Nations atomic energy commission. Although meat shortages and the like may seem to intrude more sharply at the moment upon the life of the average citizen, the action of the President in setting up the present commission may in the end have far more influencé upon the average citizen's life,

Momentous Step IN YEARS to come, when events of the present are viewed with the aid of the long perspective of history, the creation of this commission may be regarded as the most momentous step in the Truman administration, . Mr. Truman stated the situation without exaggeration when he said that Mr. Lilienthal and his four associates on the new commission are taking ‘“responsi-

My Day

NEW YORK, Friday.—The meeting of the social, humanitarian and cultural committee, or committee No. 3, at Lake Success Wednesday afternoon dragged itself out rather lengthily. I was deeply interested in watching Mr. Andrei Vishinsky make his speech on the subject-of the international refugee organization. Even though I could not understand what he was saying, he spoke at times with so’ much feeling that one chafed at not knowing the language so as to get the full impact of his’talk. The French and English translations that followed were, of course, necessary. A little before 8:30 in the evening I was called for and taken to a meeting at the Hotel Pierre at which the Woodlea foundation had invited me to speak. A very small group, it has carried on an interesting experiment in intercultural relationships. One of its enterprises is a camp for children under eight years old. The camp's staff is inter-racial, and the children, who belong to many races and religions, brought their parents into contact with others whom they might never otherwise have met,

Group Hopes to” Expand

THE GROUP has been so highly successful that the foundation. now hopes.the idea will spread to many other cities, and even into other countries. The foundation hopes to raise money for scholarships and to publish literature that will’ spread the knowledge of their. experiment and its results.

Little by little these experiments in inter-racial undo ng are multiplying, and whenever they are ‘seiul I ‘think they advance the cause of

“There is no activity—government or business— upon which the security and the enrichment of our

up by Mr. Truman in the closing sentence of his state- | ment announcing the appointment of the commission,

It reads:

“Although the way may not appear entirely clear,

we must direct all our efforts to the end that neither this nation, nor any other nation, shall suffer the penalties of atomic warfare and that the great achieve-

ments of science and industry shall be instrumental

in bringing a better way of. life to all mankind.”

Pioneering Uncharted Fields

IN HIS REPLY to the President, Mr. Lilienthal made it clear that he understands the magnitude of the task given the commission. “The new commission will be pioneering in uncharted fields,” Mr. Lilienthal wrote. “The consequences of our work, for good or eyil, are awesome With this poignantly in mind I shall enter upon these new duties with deep humility.” Authority for appointment of the commission was given to the President with the passage of the socalled McMahon bill, known officially as the Atomic Energy act of 1946.

Progressives

By FRED W, PERKINS Soripps-Howard Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Nov, 9, — The C. I.

» » » ABOUT REPORTS that he might resign as C. I.

It denied there had been a “landslide victory” for Republicans and conservatives, and asserted a small shift in voting would have changed the result. . . ” » REPUBLICAN CAPTURE of cone gress was charged to “negative votes’ expressing the dissatisfaction of the people with the failure of the 79th congress, dominated by a reactions aly coalition refusing .to make .any progress in the satisfaction of the vital needs of the people.” This was the first time such an analysis has been. put forward to explain the election of a new cone gress probably more conservative than its predecessor. ” | Mr. Morgenthau said a third party was not discussed and that the group would work within the framework of both major parties, " » " .

Bobby-Sox Seen Help on Campus In Hose Shortage

By RUTH MILLETT SENIOR students at Marycrest college in Iowa have been fore bidden to come to classes wearing bobby -sox, Stockings and leg make-up are both acceptable, say the college authorities—but not bobby-sox. What is the matter with bobbye 80x?
