Inside Indianapolis =~ Hoosier Profile

THE POLICE DEPARTMENT should be proud of

a young, sandy-haired traffic cop stationed at Meridian and Ohio sts.

His athletic figure, moving tirelessly from corner *

to corner, and his assured signals to cars and hurrying crowds have become a familiar sight in the last six months, Sanford (Sandy) Bennett takes his job of directing

‘downtown traffic seriously. He knows what he wants.

Almost instinctively, he accomplishes it. The handsome 30-year-old patrolman is one of the most efficient members of the downtown traffic division, according to the public and his superior officers. He puts everything he has into every signal, order or instruction. .

Has Own Theories to Relieve Traffic

PATROLMAN BENNETT has definite ideas on Indianapolis traffic problems, They aren't complaints —just suggestions. In his opinion elimination of rush hour snarls could be facilitated by forbidding parking anywhere in the mile square, except in parking lots. He believes underground parking should be given serious consideration. He proposes University park and the War Memorial plaza as sites, Patrolman Bennett doubts whether parking meters would do much to alleviate traffic problems here. ‘One way they might be beneficial would be to provide funds to build municipal parking lots. “The problem is to eliminate downtown parking and not encourage it,” he says. “Besides people don't want to pay to park in the street when they have to pay taxes for the streets.” He suggests that mail boxes on the Meridian st. and Pennsylvania st. sides of the Federal bldg. be moved to New York and Ohio sts. : Motorists stopping to drop letters into the boxes during the busy periods of the day put an entite traffic lane out of commission. Mail trucks, which do not have to observe the no-left-turn laws at his corner, put him on a “spot.” Drivers have a natural tendency to follow the leader when in heavy traffic. It's difficult to prevent them from following the mail trucks. Revival of the practice of towing cars parked in prohibited areas to city garage is a smart move on the part of the police department from Officer Bennett's standpoint. “Just one car parked in a block can cut the flow of traffic in half,” he asserts.

Taber's Turn

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16 (U. P.)—In the center of New York state are the Finger lakes, where a mortgage almost is a disgrace, a debt approaches the obscene and no man owes his neighbor. Above Lake Owasco is the pretty town of Auburn, cherry-picking center and site of a state prison, Leading Republican of Auburn is John Taber. He is ham-fisted, white-haired, and inclined to stammer and become red-faced when he gets excited, which is frequently. He is director of the Auburn Trust Co., which never makes a loan, except on gilt-edged security. He is president of the Whitney Point Water Co., which expects its bills to be settled monthly. Otherwise it shuts off the water. That is right and it is just and nobody around Finger lakes would have it otherwise. Mr. Taber was born in Auburn 66 years ago. He ®ent to school there and either he had his penny or the candy store man gave him no jelly beans. He went to Yale, where he studied law and never once overdrew his allowance.

Enraged by Spending IN 1904 HE BEGAN to practice law in Auburn. He paid cash in the stores, which (being in the Mohawk valley) frowned on charge accounts, anyway. Mr. Taber entered politics... He served as county judge, Republican committeeman. In 1923 he came

to congress in a daycoach. Calvin Coolidge was president then, taxes were low and the nation’s debt was negligible. The Coolidge boom moved into the Hoover depression; Mr.

Science

AMERICA'S mighty output of steel during world war II—more than 90,000,000 tons a year—made this nation the “arsenal of démocracy” and insured the winning of the war. But it was done at a price. That. price was the exhaustion of our best iron ore deposits. > The iron and steel industry during world war 11, according to Ernest E. Thum, editor of Metal Progress and nationally known authority: on metallurgy, reached the same stage in its history that the other important metallurgical branches, namely, the copper, zinc and lead industries, reached in world war I All of the latter industries, he continues, have now mined out their bonanza deposits. Their global position has changed from world leadership with exportable surpluses, to a position of dependence on foreign sources and tariff subsidies to maintain the home industry. Iron and steel are now approaching that stage. As a result Mr. Thum foresees a number of important changes. The new period will be characterized by the growth of blast furnaces and steel plants located on tidewater to utilize cheap foreign ores.

Cheap Ore Supplies

AT THE same time there will be a gradual movement of the inland steel industry toward the remaining large and cheap ore supp This will mean an increase in the relative impor of plants nearer the Minnesota, Alabama and U eposits. The remaining plants will ex nce higher costs due to the great cost of using o neficiating low grade ores and the steadily inc sing costs of transportation. Mr. Thum believes that from the standpoint of science, the metallurgical industries progressed no fast-

My Day

NEW YORK, Friday.—Sometimes, these days, It seems as though weeks go by without my getting to see a play or read a book. All I have had time to do is to go to meetings of the Umited Nations and read long official documents, My reading for pleasure has been done in snatches. Up at Hyde Park one week-end, I read halfway through Sumner Welles’ book, “Where Are We Heading?” 1 found it moét interesting and very infprmative, a real contribution from a man who was on the inside of our foreign affairs and was a very able and valuable public servant. However, one cannot read that book without having a little leisure, so I am still only halfway through. Then I read part of that delightful volume, Theodore Roosevelt's “Letters to Kermit.” The letters to his children which were published some years ago were charming and had illustrations such as are reproduced on the inside covers of this new hook. ) Theodore. Roosevelt had a gift for friendship with

+ his children, and he and Kermit had a special tie

which, as the years went by, made their trips together such memorable experiences.

Recalls Old Family Ties

THE LETTERS, of course, bring back to a member of the family like myself little incidents and old ties which almost have been forgotten. For instance, at the end of one letter, I found: “David ‘Gray was down here this week and was as nice as possible. I always find something companion able in a man who cares both for the outside of a "horse and the inside of & book.” Riso David Gray is“married to my aunt, and ls now » y 2

Patrolman Sandy Bennett . , . he's always on his toes.

‘It Costs Nothing to Smile’ THE HUSKY young policeman has developed a highly successful psychology during his four years on the police force. “It doesn’t cost a cent to smile and if a policeman feels good so does everyone passing his corner,” he insists, “A policeman’s actions must be definite or the people won't know what he wants them to do. And anyone given half a chance will be co-operative.” Father of four children, Patrolman Bennett works nights at the Indiana ballroom. Recently he bought a house at 930 Albany st. and spends what little spare time he has making improvements. In the back of Officer Bennett's mind is a desire to study law. First, however, he wants to attend a six-months’ traffic institute at Northwestern university, for he bebiages a policeman should know all there is to know about his job. (By Jack Thompson.)

By Frederick C. Othman

Taber became a member of the house appropriations committee. Came then the New Deal. The appropriations committee recommended and congress passed laws calling for the expenditure of millions, billions and hundrsd of billions. This seared the soul of the man from Finger lakes.

In Driver's Seat DAY AFTER DAY he Became so angry that Mrs. Taber in their modest apartment on 16th st. urged him to take it a little easier, He couldn't. He bellowed (without aid of the loudspeakers) his arguments against the ever-increasing public debt; the everexpanding public payroll. His rage was impotent. So exasperated did he become one day last session that he took a poke at Rep. John Cannon of Missouri, the Democratic chairman of the appropriations committee, Then he felt better. That's the background. The New Deal is no more and the new chairman of the appropriations committee is John (Cash-and-Carry) Taber, one of the most powerful men in Washington today. When he says frog, the bureaucrats jump. When he frowns, they shiver. When he says 1,000,000 too many people are working for the federal government,

the odds are that the man from Finger lakes will}

manage to get most of them fired. When he says the government is spending nine billion too many dollars a year, he is not fooling. His sincerity is not questioned, even by the administration. That, from the viewpoint of the jobholders, is the trouble. They've got to prove to Mr. Taber that they will be missed and he (as you may have gathered already) is a hard man to persuade,

Problems of reconversion have been relatively simple for the metallurgical industries. This is there is no essential difference between producing metals for wartime or peacetime uses. Reconversion has consisted largely in the abandonment of older, outmoded units, and slight modifica-

CIO Committee | Deadlocked on Ousting of Reds

By CHARLES H. HERROLD United Press Staff

Correspondent ATLANTIC CITY, N. J, Nov. 16, ~C. 1. O. President Philip Murray was caught today in the middle of

by powerful right wing union lead ers seeking to rid the C.'I. O, of a Communist taint, He was due to receive a report from a special six-man committee that it ‘has been unable to’ reach a deal on procedure for ridding the C. 1. O. of Communist influence and placing the next move up to Mr, Murray. ; Mr, Murray appointed the come mittee late yesterday in a last-ditch effort to obtain a painless surren. der by the Communist forces. yw, # THE COMMITTEE consists of Presidents Walter Reuther, United ° Auto Workers; Emil Rieve, Textiles Workers union, and Milton Murray, American Newspaper guild, all right - wingers; Michael Quill Transport Workers union; Abram PFlexer, United Public Workers, and Ben Gold, International Fur Work ers, all left-wingers. A three-hour committee meeting last night resulted in a deadlock as the left-wingers solidly resisted every demand of the right-wingers that the pro-communists cease their efforts to plunge the C. I. O. into class warfare and lead it astray from trade union objectives. One C. 1. O. leader predicted that unless the executive board can ree solve the conflict, the battle will ex« plode on the floor of the convention beginning Monday. . » . HE SAID there appeared little doubt but that Mr. Murray would give a go-ahead signal for all-out anti-communist drive if no deal is made. Right-wing leaders appeared dee termined to force the pro-come munist elements to knuckle under or get out of the C. I. O,, one informant said. \ 2 Only a few C. I. O. leaders are members of the Communist party and they control unions with about 500,000 of the slightly more than six million C. I. O. members. Mr. Murray's appointment of the six-man committee came as a sure prise after he pleaded in the execu« tive board for the united front to win new wage increases,

This matter, however, he is now said to regard as a matter of principle. He is far less impressed than the governor with the. powers of persuasion of his nameless adversary in the conservation fight. Mr. Matter is still the tenpin, observers say. If he falls, Mr. Springer scores a strike, If he stands, Mr. Springer is the loser.

Even though we are living in peace, our mood since the war's end has not, except momentarily, been one of thankfulness, ’ Fauit-finding and griping and complaining are the order of the day. “Isn't it terrible?” has bee come almost an accepted form of greeting. / » » ¥ / OF COURSE, we have things to complain about. Life isn't running as smoothly” as it did in prewar days. / There are plenty of small harde ships and dally irritations and some that are terribly important, like finding a place to live, stretching the food dollar to provide’ adequate meals for a large family, etc. But many of our troubles are nothing more than /rritations.

But we can spoil even Thankse giving if we try. We can, for ine stance, get worked up over the price of turkey or complain because there isn't enough sugar in the bowl for cranberry sauce.
