t. Po iy is a poet when he talks about food, a commodity which he gave away for 20 years, and which how appears to be making him rich. He speaks of meat in iambic pentameter, and he is the only man I know who can endow an onion with sex-appeal. - When: Jimmy recites a recipe, he literally strokes the words with his fingers, and his eyes like a kid talking about Santa Claus, PNET Ope In a town which considers a Frenchman ‘as the only sincere ‘candidate for restaurant ownership, master Moran—an Italian whose real name is Brocato—is a recent, howling success. ' Jimmy opened his restaurant a short 15 months ago, ‘and it has already entered the legendary category of New Orleans eatin’, Together with. Arnaud’s, Antoine's” and ‘Galatoire's, it stays packed . . . which is ‘Just as well, for Mr. Moran is a man of expensive tastes. Such as diamonds. When James emerges for his morning stroll, he is a gorgeous thing to see. He represents, on an average day, something better than $100,000 on the hoof. Jimmy's collarpin is a diamond bar, His diamond and sapphire ring matches his sapphire and diamond cufflinks, which are about the size of golf balls. His belt buckle is diamondstudded, and so are his money clip and solid gold cigarette lighter. He has a pair of diamondspangled spectacles on order, and when he gets them he will be a happy man indeed. To say that James is a dandy is drawing it mild. He owns some 75 suits, 100 pairs of shoes, 100 hats, 200 shirts, 12 overcoats and five dinner Jackets, including a pale-green tuxedo. He smells as purty as he looks, for he is addicted to scented handkerchiefs which are always embroidered with his name. When Jimmy sets out to replenish his wardrobe, he does it grandly. His last purchase was 21 suits.

Jimmy Admired Guns, Diamonds JIMMY was born in New Orleans, across from the French Market. He used to stare at the diamond rings and shotguns in an old hock shop, and wonder if he’d ever own one. When he

Jimmy made his first touch shining shoes, progressed to barbering, went on to be a prize ‘fighter, ran considerable rum during prohibition, looked after the New Orleans slot-machine racket for Frank Costello and Dandy Phil Kastel, two savory souls, and finally emerged as Huey Long's

politico. They met in a Turkish bath.

“HUEY LOVED to wash,” says Jimmy, fondly. “We spent more time in steam rooms than we did out of them. They used to call me his bodyguard I was just his friend, but naturally, if anybody -gives him any trouble, I am going to take care of him like any friend would. See, pal?” :

po’k chops pal. He calls his waiters and bar tenders Mister. Nobody comes into the restaurant without receiving something, from a centerpiece of celery, olives and assorted delicatessen to a gratis bowl of fruit, “with the compliments of Mister Moran.” He gives his handkerchiefs to ladies who admire them, and never tires of showing the customers his diamonds.

For a long time now, Mr. Moran has trod the straight-and-narrow. . He has even withdrawn from politics, since, he says, “both factions come here to eat” An amateur cook for 25 years, James has such a fine hand in the kitchen that he was once publicly complimented by none other than Monsieur Jules Alciatore, patron saint of Antoine’s. Since becoming a professional host, Jimmy's trade has been so heavy that he plans to open a couple of extra restaurants. As I was saying, Mr. Moran is a poet, and he thinks he has everything necessary to a happy poetic existence—little things like diamonds, money, ‘75 suits, a few thousand friends, peace of mind and plenty of po’k chops in the larder. No poet could ask for more—except maybe those

He said had I heard of the electronic generators some fancy restaurants use to cook beef“steaks from the inside out in 30 seconds flat? And did I know about the radio heat producers developed during the war to dry the glue in plywood almost instantly? I knew about these things. Good, he said. He was using the same system on me. Boiling my insides in their own juices to relax the muscles. I was flat on my back by now. The electricity was penetrating my hide and cooking my innards. I was hot within and cold without and I dared not breathe because I figured I'd give out steam. This was no time, obviously, to contemplate the international situation or even try to guess what President Truman would say at his next press -conference. It was a time only for wondering how much longer .I would live and, if so, did it matter?

He flipped me over on my stomach and then he began ironing my backbone with a couple of vibrating, hard rubber balls. Then he poked my back and punched ny shoulders and—eureka'!— He discovered my neck. It still hurt. With unerring accuracy his fingers found the spots that hurt the worst. There he twisted. Then he said I could. get dressed. That's what he thought. He had to help me tie my shoes. I didn't have the strength. Later on, maybe, I'll get well. Or so’says the doc. As of this moment I have my doubts.

SIGNS OF SPRING — As sure a sign of spring as the first robins are the

construction workers. All over Indianapolis as the days grow warmer more sites swarm with: busy workmen, turning piles of lumber and bricks into homes, business buildings, ‘fattories and churches, Here stone mason Charles Rowlett, Bloomington, does some ‘calculations on stone that will soon be Our Saviour Lutheran Church at Fall Creek and’ Capitol Ave.

HARD WORK—A strong shoulder comes in handy for. toting hods of mortar to the brick layers working on the Pontiac Sales building at 38th St. and Kenwood Ave. Here Charles Ellis, brick mason's tender, mounts a ladder to a 20-foot wall balancing a good 75 pounds of mortar on his shoulder, Sy i Longa

"HMMM... NOW LET ME SEE" — Those are roughly the thoughts of brick foreman J. R. Joyce of the Pontiac project as he checks blueprints to learn why the brick and steel measurements didn't work out as the plans indicated. :

Blames Family Tension for Crime

Nagging, Bickering Breeds Criminals

By Science Service NEW YORK, Mar, 29—Fifty per cent of criminals have indigestion, Dr. David Abrahamsen, psychiatrist at Columbia University, found in a four-year study. The . lawbreakers also suffer from heart trouble, nervous ills, skin. trouble and respiratory diseases: Dr. Abrahamsen believes all these can be traced to friction .in the home. “Family tension breeds criminals,” Dr. Abrahamsen con-|% cludes. “Homes where there is bickering and nagging cause children to tighten up with resentment and hostility, This results in their} rebellion against authority and responding to the will of the ”

At some time the criminal was treated cruelly in his home or failed to receive a normal amount of affection. In some cases he had dominating parents, in other? cases weak ones. Sometimes a] brother or sister was the favorite| of the family and receive more than a fair share. Result: Jealousy, resentment, tendency to spiteful revenge and later not only criminal action but also illness of the kind in which psychological and physical elements are linked, as in stomach disorders, skin ailments and some kinds of heart trouble.
