Give Light and the People will Find Their Own Way
WE RECOMMEND— : MORROW'S primary election is, as we have pointed out a number of times, one of the most important in the city’s history. 4 © From those nominated by the Republicans and the Democrats, Indianapolis voters will choose a mayor, a city clerk and nine city councilmen next November. The chief executive should be qualified to direct the affairs of an expanding municipality, plan for the future, and clean up the mess of the present. His cabinet, the city council, should be unbossed and concerned only with the conduct of the city's affairs.

City Councilman, Sixth District Louis E. Smith David H. Badger | With either Mr. Wemmer or Mr. Feeney as mayor, we believe Indianapolis would receive a good administration. We have no strong feelings on the office of city clerk other than recognition that Mr. Noll's experience in that post qualifies him for re-nomination.
” = ” » » 2 : THE fact that we have not indorsed a particular candidate should not be construed as a reflection .on those not recommended. There are a number of good candidates for the jobs involved in tomorrow's election. However, consideration of all factors involved guided our decisions. : The city council nominations are especially important. The council for the next four years will be composed of the nine candidates receiving the highest vote in the fall election. Any nine of those indorsed by The Times would give the mayor—whoever is elected—a well balanced efficient council representative of most phases of the community's life. It could be relied upon not to play politics with the city’s future. Voters too often overlook the importance of the city | council. We urge that the persons indorsed today be nominated.
NEW ATTITUDE IN CHINA
EN. CHANG CHUN, who succeeded Dr. T. V. Soong as premier in the reorganized Chinese government, is getting off to a good start in his admittedly difficult position. In the first place, he has gone before the legislative yuan with members of his cabinet to report on his plans. This is a new and encouraging departure in Chinese gov-| stumenta) procedite, |

representative of the parties participating in the administration and it must be treated as a responsible division of the government if democracy is to make real progress in China. Secondly, the new premier is showing a degree of -self-reliance which suggests that new virility has been introduced into the kuomintang administration. Questioned about the probabilities of an American loan, Premier Chang replied that “it is the consistent belief of the government that we must live by the nation’s own efforts rather than by support from abroad.” If this indicates a determination on the part of Chiang Kai-shek's government to stabilize Chirnese economy hy sound internal measures, it is welcome news indeed and it deserves encouragement. Unquestionably, China's rehabilitation will demand some outside assistance, but that will be much more readily forthcoming if and when the Chinese government shows a capacity to carry through on a constructive reform program of its own.

Mr. Wheeler inherited his imagination hy way of his father, Tt ‘was his father, for instance, who gave him the name of Patroclus, in the doing of which he not only displayed his classical learning, but also honored fhe memory of the “renowned heathen who was the most intimate friend of Achilles with whose ashes—if you'll recall your his: tory—his owli were mixed as a testimonial of their inseparable friendship. x
‘Mh of Many Matters
IF I REMEMBER correctly, Patroclus Wheeler was 4 copyist in an old-fashioned downtown law office with a scanty salary and necessary leisure to exercise his. imagination. In his spare time he dabbled in poetry, painted lady-like water colors, played the guitar, and frequently attended police court, the best place at the time to hear oratory of a high order. And besides all that, Patroclus was an ardent Republican. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that Mr. Wheeler's imagination attained the dizzy heights it did because of the fact thgt he was an ardent Republican. Anyway, it was during the BookwalterTaggart campaign that Mr. Wheeler flirted with the

He argued that a speaker equipped with a wheel could gallop around and address his audience from different locations, thus obviating the necessity of constantly changing his Position on the platform in order to

"FOREIGN AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON, May 3.—Secretary of State George G. Marshall is so snowed under with work which cannot be put off—and is so much in demand at several places at the same time—that additional under secretaries or deputy foreign ministers have become
imperative. Another conference of foreign ministers is due next fall. Peace with Germany and Austria is séheduled to be taken up again in November, Peace with Japan cannot wait “until the patient dies,” as Secretary Marshall suggested, nor ¢an the long post-poned interAmerican conference be put off forever. Meanwhile there are vital meetings of the United Nations, securs ity council, general assembly and so on. President Muguel Aleman of Mexico is known to have been speaking for all Latin America when he warned against foreign aggression and suggested the earliest possible fulfillment of the ideal of A Simon Bolivar, the “liberator.” That ideal, expressed-at the congress of Panama in 1826, was:

PATROCLUS WHEELER, following the line laid de “by his noble namesake, yielded with a soleng» pledge to do his part, never once thinking tnst tie didn't know how to ride a bicycle. Nor had he ever made a speech in public. However, he learned to do both and in due course a meeting was scheduled: just outside of Woodruff Place. On this occasion Patroclus was ‘billed to gallop by way of a bicycle from - one corner of the crowd to another, thus guaranteeing everybody to hear some part of his. carefully prepared speech. While crossing Pogue's Run that night and repeating, his speech to himself preparatory to his debut, Patroclus Wheeler completely forgot the blacksmith's warning that the chain on the second-hand bicycle he had bought for the occasion needed watching at all times. And because of his preoccupation, sure enough, some things did go wrong. The Achilles heel revealed itself. At a curbstone near the old Arsenal, the wheel acted up and discharged poor Patroclus. into the middle of Pogue's Run with the result that the meeting scheduled for that night wasn't held it ali. Instead of the prescribed meeting, everybody ving around Woodruff Place hurried to the scene of the accident to help rescue Patroclus from the treacherous waters of Pogue's Run.

Alaskan Defenses Drifting Backward
A bill w grant statehood to Hawaii Nas approved by the house public lands committee. A. powerful case was made for Hawaii. But the statehood bill was referred to the house rules committee, where it has been bottled up ever since, At this writing, there is no sign of when it will. be allowed to come to a vote, Hearings have been held on a stateheod bill for Alaska, with most withesses favoring: it. While Hawaii i first in line for statehood, the need is” almost greater for our northernmost territory. It is too strategic an area t be left to the whims and chances of territorial rule. Even with a secretary of the interior such as J. A. Krug, Who has worked intensivel® in Alaska's interest during the past vear, 1 territory occupies a dubious position. The disturbing fact is that Alaska's defenses today ve declining rapidly toward the pre-war level. And he pre-war level was close to Zero. ; Teday there are an estimated 22,000 troops still in Alaska, plus one air group. An air group consists normally of about 100 fighters or 175 heavier planes. This is the total allotment for the vast territory that lies in the area from which war will come if

Drifting Backwards _IT BEGINS to look as though we were iting’ rather swiftly back to normalcy. While we talk big about Russia and the atom bomb, we fail to take steps. which would help to insure that national defense is kept relatively up to date. Statehood for Hawaii and ‘Alaska is one of_those steps. The tale about the submarines may also point a moral about co-operation between army-and navy, There is a deep undercover resistance to even the kind of unification that President .Truman has proposed. The services also seem to be drifting. The. direction is backward—back to the complacent past when general competed with admiral for SPpIOprig. tions and acclaim. .

Ruark’s Destruction
adam's apple when 1 had the ghastly temerity to question the sancity of baseball .as an institution, there is one large consolation. While the majority of the reading public is torn between a desire to see nie fricasseed in oil or subjected to a rigorous form of Chinese torture, I have one stanch constituent. The poor fellow is insane, but what a discerning eve! In the pathetic scrawl of a child, he says that he agrees thoroughly that baseball isn’t exactly what it. was, and furthermore he adds “nobody ever, wrote a column better than you.” My sincere thanks to this
man. And I hope he gets well quick. The following postscript, written by his nurse, tells the story: Dear sir:
“The above was written by a mental patient at St Elizabeth's hospital, Washington, D. C. He is a great baseball fan and I am. glad he took an interest in your column. “As things are, he ‘hasn’ t been able to find anyone else who agrees with him on any sports question except you. TI really appreciate his believing in. your column as it is the first column that. any person has ever read to.him that he agreed with. “Thank you."’
py Note I WOULD LIKE to end on a happy note, however. Regarding the wealthy financier, Serge Rubinstein, a convicted draft dodger who received practically no penalty for his unsuccessful flight from selective service, IT murmured that I should like to see. him tucked away for life. The mail has been rolling in since then, and to a man the readers disagree on only one point: They think Mr. Rubinstein should be hung.
