Indiana generul saserably| ‘opened for business Thurs-. day.
He t rned out to. be mild mannered Kenneth Blackwell, Republican Member of the house of vepresehtatives. He seldom gets upset about any=
thing; but when he saw himself listed on a house roster as a Democrat, that was toe much,
“Well I'l be durned,” said Mr. Blackwell,

have anything to do after breakfast, “1 thought I might as well go on over and ot into the swing of things,” was the only reason for taking ‘his seat an hour and a half before the session convened. Now beginning his third term as a house member, Mr. Blackwell represents Marion and Johnson coun, ties. His pre-session visit to the house found him discussing some of the bills that will be introduced during the session with two of his legislator friends, Senator Paul Moffett, Indianapolis and Senator Edwin Beaman, Princeton. TH But the nature of their talk is a secret among the three of them, Mr. Blackwell says, He has one bill to introduce in the house and a few aces up * his sleeve, he confides. AS a typical legislator, Mr. Blackwell is concerned primarily with the legislation which is important to his own strata of society.
Weeds Are a Problem
FOR EXAMPLE, this session he will introduce a
bill on weed control, says Farmer Blackwell. In his own words, the bill will help farmers to form cooperatives for fighting weeds. His bill won't take any money from the state, Mr. Blackwell says, but will provide .a fund to be used if it is needed. He also has plans for a bill on cattle disease control, Dairyman Blackwell asserts, but it isn't complete yet. He lost 16 head from his herd last year because of disease, Mr. Blackwell said. His principal accomiplishmént in his past two terms as representative was helping pass a bill which requires pasteurization of all- milk that is to be sold. ] The slightly shy representative is a member of the important agriculture committee. As such he is in a position to promote his own bills, most of which, he infers, will deal with agriculture. He is chairman ‘of -the—bemevolent and sclentifis” Institutions committee, to which probaQly will be channeled a number of bills dealing with homes for the aged and any that deal with scientific research.
Tends to City's Affairs
AS A MEMBER of the affairs of the city of Indianapolis committee, Mr. Blackwell also will deal with any bills. concerning Indianapolis alone, either as the state capital or as the only ‘first class city in the state. Ome such bill, introduced yestérday in the senate, authorizes the governor to transfer the

soverignity to it and the water for three miles around.
If so, what's to stop him from building a chain of islands around the world and calling the whole works the United States of America? Hey, state. department? Any suggestions, United Nations? The U. 8. court of customs and patent appeals, consisting of five black-robed judges in a mahoganylined courtroom far back in a corner of the internal revenue building, is trying to’figure that one out now. Attorney Randolph B. Cousins flew down from New York to represent John W. Flude, the Houston, Tex., geophysicist and would-be island builder, in his battle with Casper Ooms, the commissioner of patents. Ooms did his talking through E. L. Reynolds of the solicitor’s office. Flude's idea is simple enough. There is oil under the sea. One way to get it is build an island over the oil pool and then drill a well in the usual way. Only now youre out on your island in the ocean and if oil is gushing from the middle of it, odds are that some other nationll ride up in a battleship, chase you off, and plant its own flag,
Can't Patent An Island
FLUDE APPLIED consequently for a patent on his fnvention to increase the size of the United States by building islands around thé edges. He figured that would protect him from pirates. The patent office said an island is an island and you can't patent it. The inventor retorted that his kind of island was something special. ‘Commissioner Ooms replied through his lawyers that the state department might not like the idea. Flude said, so what? The government said well what good was a U. 8,

FARMERS’ REPRESENTATIVE — Weed control is important to Mr. Average Legislator,
property on which “the city market is built from the state to the city, House Speaker Hobart Grelghton describes Mr. Blackwell as “one of my many right arms” Mr. Creighton, a poultry farmer himself, says the Franklin representative's knowledge of state government is broader than that of “city representatives.” Farmers have a broader base of general knowledge, Mr, Creighton says. Mr. Blackwell sees the 85th general assembly as the most important ever held in Indiana, Why? “Everybody is asking for more money,” he says. “The first bill I'll introduce,” joked Rep. Blackwell, “will be one to have my suit cleaned.” He came out with a stripe on each arm Wednesday when he got too near some too fresh paint in the house chamber, He, as are many others, is non-committal on the direct primary and local option issues, Several minutes’ questioning on the two subjects drew only this remark from Mr, Blackwell: “There'll be some hot debates®on both questions.” To Mr. Blackwell, his S00 Bll, fascinating subject than politics.

patent on a dingus pumping dirt at sea outside the United States? Flude said fiddle-faddle; as soon as his. island reached the surface of the water it would be a part of the U. 8S. A. The patent office turned him down. So did the board of patent appeals, He filed noticé of a further appeal to the court of customs and patent appeals. The five gray-haired_ judges, two of whom were appointed by the late President Harding and all of whom work in almost total obscurity insofar as the public is concerned, waited expectantly in their handsome~little courtroom.
-
ATTORNEY COUSINS hardly had begun his argument before one of the judges inquired: “If we granted this patent, couldn't we claim sovereignity around the world?” “If we built enough islands, we could,” Cousins. Another jurist remarked that many people had built islands but never asked for patents on them. Cousins said this was his client's good luck. Presiding Judge Finis J. Garrett wondered whether Cousins had conferred with the United Nations, “Not yet,” Cousins replied. He added that international politicians and, or the state department, had po right to say whether Flude could patent an island. The jurists agreed. They said they'd decide the case on the law, with no thought whatever about the ideas of the new Secretary of State George Marshall. “I don't know about global strategy,” said Patent Office Lawyer Reynolds, “but I do know you ean’t invent an island.” Lawyer Cousins said he begged to differ. You can invent an island. Judge Garrett said the court would decide that. Later, I regret to report.

Olivia said she didn't like the script and didn't want to play another murderess after doing “The Dark Mirror.” But Joan likes the part, She poisons her husband (Richard Ney) in the film, then tries to shift the blame onto her lover (Pat Knowles). To keep the censors happy, she will pay for her sins in the final reel, by dying from a fall down an elevator shaft.

WHAT'S THE matter with women? I have just finished reading a book--fresh from the publishers —the title of which gives a broad hint of the seriousness of its charges. It Is called “Modern Woman: The Lost Sex.” Recently there have been a number of magazine , articles along the same line—all attempting to show that modern woman is a flop and a failure, with no # + gatisfactory place in the scheme of things. What are such writers trying to do to us, anyhow? Make us into a bunch of neurotics, forever worrying

Actress of Distinction
DIRECTOR ROBERT SIODMAK said he was the only director in Hollywood with an actress of distinction—English importation Phyllis Calvert. (All right, we'll explain it—men of distinction for Calvert.) Bob Hutton is Phyllis's co-star in a film version of Rachel Fields’ “Time Out of Mind.” Bob made his film debut as the sailor in “Destination Tokyo.” “That was my first big break—and this role is my second,” he told us. Siodmak predicts a big future for Miss Calvert in Hollywood—"she’s a British Ingrid Bergman.” As both producer and director, Siodmak will give the’ picture a novel ending—a final reel devoid of dialog.

Perhaps we do yearn to express ourselves in some work outside the home. Well, what is stopping us? Certainly there is enough which needs to be done that we can find name niche in which to express ourselves. What if our homes aren't the centers of family living they once were? Shouldn't that be a challenge to. us to try to make the kind of homes that will draw our husbands and children? And haven't we more opportunity than average women have ever had to make a house a place for pleasant living?

The insurance company bought him a pair of artificial hands that were good to look upon but worthless to work with. Steve went home from the hospital in tip-top physical shape. ‘ But his wife had to button his coat, feed him and open the coors for him. He fell into the habit of going out to a saloon in the afternoon. His cronies held the glass to his lips and by evening he was plastered.

she pleaded, “something to let him gain back a little self-respect?” There was some deep and heavy thinking and then Steve went back to work, a sort of parking lot traffic director. He had flags tied to the good looking hands that weren't any good to him. He toted his lunch from home

If a person could only grow name it carries. Did anyone ever ong, that straight? I know my tomatoes will be split eight or ten ways from the stem. They will have red bottoms and yaller-green tops.
