A CHUNKY, young rolling mill worker stood in: the Elwood postoffice 23 years ago, studying a civil service announcement, He rubbed a calloused, work-toughened hand on his cheek as he read over the wordy statement, An examination was to be held to fill several junior observer posts in the U. 8. weather bureau. Paul A. Miller, native Hoosler, hadn't until then considered weather forecasting as an occupation, He had no idea he would some day become weatherman at the state capital, a post he will assume next Wednesday. \ )
Impulsively, he applied for the examination and was surprised a year later with an appointment to the Macon, Ga, office of the weather bureau. Thus, he entered. a highly-regarded public service that has led to residence in many parts of the nation.
‘Weather Bureau Wife'
HIS WIFE, Frances, an Elwood resident he married in 1924, is a “weather, buréau wife.” She has taken the moves in stride, housing conditions became acute and each move/meant buying a house to have a place to live, Paul was employed by the American Sheet & Tinplate Co, when hé met the future Mrs. Miller.
An Alexandria native, his family had moved to Elwood, where he attended high school. He played football, basketball and baseball, but all in “mediocre fashion,” he says. A classmate was Wendell Willkie's sister, Charlotte.
Interested in the physical sciences, Paul enrolled at Purdue university. His finances lasted one semester and he returned to the rolling mill. Later, he attended for another semester, his last. After only four months service at Macon, Ga., the young junior observor had eye 4rouble, forcing him to resign. Back to the rolling mill he went, this time to the Gary plant of the U. 8. Steel Corp. When his eyes became better he was reinstated and assigned to the weather bureau at Davenport, Ia. Across the Mississippi river lies Moline, Ill, where one of the first aviation weather bureaus was being opened. . The young forecaster and his wife moved there. An interest in this new activity is largely responsible for Mr. Miller's rise in the bureau. Then came a transfer to Bolling field, outside Washington, D. C., and promotion to junior meteorologist. Mr. Miller was transferred to the national office's aviation section in 1930, remaining there until he was promoted four years ago to assistant regional director at Atlanta, Ga. A year ago, he was recalled to Washington and helped to establish observation posts in the Arctic.

He grinned and pulled up his collar as he told how he managed not to be sent there. ' He did manage a more pleasant trip, however. He represented the U. 8. at an international meteorolgical meeting held in 1939 at Berlin.
Dosn’t Think Work Dull
SABERS OF WARLORDS rattled menacingly as Mr. Miller included France in his itinerary. When his night train to Paris was stopped at the border, he envisiorféd the outbreak of hostilities. The thought of delay in returning home made his native land more attractive by the minute. It became Utopia. The ready witted new weatherman here doesn’t consider his work dull, whatever the average citizen may think of the long-established, conservative bureau. “With a little imagination, I visualize that we in the bureau are working with gjremendous forces of nature,” the 46-year-old Mr. Miller declared. “We are trying to calculate natural phenomena that are not always understandable,” he added. “It is fascinating.” He good naturedly takes the kidding that comes

Economy Day
By Frederick C. Othman
WASHINGTON, April 26.—The gentlemen looked toward the press gallery and said, please. The expres-
* sion in their eyes was anguished. And I was putty in
thefr fingers. Rep. John W. McCormick of Massachusetts, the minority whip, fingered the seven lead pencils in the pocket of his wrinkled black vest and fixed his gaze, seemed like, on me aboard an undersized stool directly behind the congressional clock. Chopping the appropriation of the interior department almost in half, he cried, was a Republican doing. It was, he said, & crucifying slash of the hopes of the people in the West. He sympathized with them. He felt sorry for them.. “And I want the people to. know,” he continued’ (without averting his gaze) ' “that the Democratic party had nothing whatever to do with this bill.” The Republicans went too far, he said. They even slit the appropriations for the fisheries service In New England. Did not they realize that most New England fishermen also were Republicans? He hadn't closed his mouth before Rep. Charles A. Halleck of Indiana, the curly-haired Republican chief, was on his feet, pulling at his pale gray pants with one hand and reaching for the microphone with the other.
Glare at Each Other
“I HOPE the newspapers print what the gentleman from Massachusetts just said,” he roared in my direction. “It. will prove that the Republicans are trying to cut the costs of government and the Democrats are resisting subbornly against this economy the people want,”

A
The opposing sachems sat down, took their eyes off me and glared at each other, while the house went to work with the celebrated meat axe on President Truman's interior department budget. The President asked for $295,420,420 to take care of Indians, build dams, investigate seals, operate the Alaskan railroad, and do other things too numerous to mention here. The appropriations committe#ysaid this was exactly $138,881,713 too much. So the silver-tongued clerk began reading the 81page bill and at each new paragraph a Democrat or a western Republican would jump up and propose an amendment raising the ante for the Bonneville dam, the Apache Indians, and the fish.
Spenders Out of Luck
THE REST of the Republicans then would vote, almost without exception and with more noise than at a ball game, against the amendment. This was economy day in the house; and would-be spenders had no chance. About the only fauna that got as much money as President Truman wanted were those Alaskan seals. The lawmakers approved the $69,300 he asked to investigate the sea-going beasts that juggle rubber balls on their noses. These seals are about to get us into an international jam. There have been complaints. Unnamed nations have charged that our seals eat
waters for people. The interior department will spend the $69,300 shadowing seals at dinner-time. It was a pleasure, Rep. McCormick; always glad to help, Mr. Halleck.

He was elected.despite the heavy Democratic landslide and became a Republican minority member of the council for four years, pushing municipal legislation for civic reforms. Because the law prohibits city officials from succeeding themselves, Mr. Schumacher stayed out of city government four years but returned in .the 1942 campaign to lead the Republican city ticket for re-elec-tion. Elected President Immediately upon taking office in 1943, Mr. Schumacher was elected president of the new council and has been re-elected to the post every year since, Actually Mr. . Schumacher has been active in Republican politics for 30 years, starting his career in party work at Ipdiana university in 1919 where he régaled his fellow students with his political philosophy on the campus soap boxes. After his graduation from I. U. Mr. Schumacher joined the construction company founded by his grandfather back in 1875, known as the John A. Schumacher Co.
He operated the company with his uncle, William Schumacher, for 15 years. When the firm became inactive eight years ago he became sales executive of the Midland Building Industries. :
Star School Athlete
While a student at Shortridge high school, Mr. Schumacher was one of the school’s star basketball players and participated for many years in the city’s athletic pro-
When he isn't working in the construction business or attending to city affairs, Mr. Schumacher plays his trumpet in various bands and orchestras. He was one of the original members of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra and has played with the |'0 Shrine band for 22 years. After many years of study he has become almost an expert on technicalities of programs for the solution of traffic and parking problems. His major campaign platform planks include lengthy proposals in technical detail for traffic reforms, including a system of synchronized control lights for both pedestrians and vehicular traffic. Has Technical Plan
He has the blueprints all drawn for parking terminals and other off-the-street parking plans to relieve congestion in the streets. “The citizens are tired of hearing a lot of talk about traffic problems; they want action and I'm prepared to give it to them if I'm elected mayor,” he said.
HOLLYWOOD, April 26.—Greer Garson has just about decided to open the door for Richard Ney. Watch for an early reconciliation announcement. Esther Williams and Ben Gage are worrying their friends. There's a hot deal cooking for Bing Crosby and Al Jolson to co-star in a Paramount pictlre, in which they'll share in the profits. Harry James and Betty Grable will move to their San Fernando Valley ranch when he returns from his next band tour. Don't be surprised if Betty announces her retirement from the screen soon. Joan Crawford's divorce from Phil Terry will be final next Sunday. But her romance with Greg Bautzer is frigid, and she sdys she'll marry no one. But movie queens have said that before.
Leo O. K. With Movies
LOOKS LIKE Leo Durocher will still play himself in Eddie Bracken's baseball story, “.750 Smith.” “Leo,” says Eddie, “will be back ‘én the Brooklyn payroll before the picture is released next year.” But Eddie just cut the first five pages of the script. The picture was to have opened with Leo taking a suspension for yelling at umpires. Olivia de Haviland and Marc Goodrich are New York bound for a week. She'll visit insane asylums picking up atmosphere for “The Snake Pit.” Carmen Miranda turned down a $15,000 a week offer from the New York Roxy theater in favor of $7500 at Monte Proser’'s Copacabana.

IN A RECENT divorce trial a judge ruled that a wife’s making her husband do housework does not constitute cruelty. His decision denied a divorce to a husband who testified that his wife spent most of her time visiting with neighbors and that he had to clean the house, make beds, cook dinner and wash dishes after work. If the law is going to let wives get by with that kind of shirking of their responsibilities, then what right have we to insist that a man earn a living for his wife?

(gardening’s one of them) he could spend the rest of his life enjoying any one of them, if he weren't so busy with his “pill peddling”—as he calls his long established medical practice. And if people generally realized the value of gardening for health he thinks he'd have more time to enjoy, it himself. “Gardening gets you out of doors, it stirs up your circulation. You work up a sweat, then have to run into the house for a drink of water,” he points out. “Well, that's all to the good for your physical health. . » » “IT’S AN escape, too, from whatever is troubling you. Emotional disturbances, whether they're caused by something you're discouraged over or just plain mad about, are smoothed out by physical activity such as gardening offers.’ Physical activity of any sort uses up what nervous energy that's causing the trouble.
