Inside Indianapol FREE SODA POP, cigarets, pills of all kinds yvesireee, I'd say the 99th Annual Indiana State Medical Association convention was a success. Too bad the session ended -yesterday. I could have picked up a lot more vitamins and throat lozenges and tablets today after reading some of the pamphlets and discovering not all that glitters is poison. It could be a capsule containing health. fu! doses of thiamine, riboflavin, niacinamide, pyridoxine, calcium pantothenate, inositol, choline and just a floof of folic acid. Not impossible. The original motive for rubbing elbows with the men of medical science and industry was purely academic. It never hurts to get around and meet different people with an eye to picking up a new idea or two or a lunch or two.

They're Willing to Talk . . . Free

THIS MUCH can be said about the men in . white as I saw them in the Egyptian Room of the Murat Theater, They're willing to speak, even chew the fat, with anyone. By anyone, I mean me. You can believe it or not but I talked to about 23 doctors and it didn’t cost me a dime, That is going into my diary, too. There's one drawback about talking shop with doctors at a convention, Unless you're a doctor, almost everything except the griping about the hotel room, is over the noggin. Lymphosarcoma, as far as my A.B. in journalism took me, could he the name of an insect, new kind of a popsicle for outdoor winter consumption, or an ailment. I'll put my money on the latter since I heard the word spoken by a MD. i Dr. Don Brodie, Dr. Floyd Romberger and Dr. Roy V. Myers were a threesome in the Egyptian Room which drew my attention right off. Nodding as pleasantly and healthfully as I could, I touched shoulders with the good doctors. Dr. Brodie, lung specialist, had the floor and was letting his comrades in on a few ideas he had about carcinoma of the lungs. Cancer is one disease I don’t like to talk about. Ten out of 10 doctors will say, I know, an attitude like that is what helps cancer more than anything but that's the way it is with me. Besides, they were talking over my head. } A pause at the soft drink booth and another at the free cigaret counter helped pep me up and Lave. me courage to sample a few ‘samples along Fo v ie A'very fine gentleman who called nie “Ddetor” handed me a bottle of “Alkolol.” Confidently he said, “You know the merits of our product, doctor,

Ballads and Bullets 8y Harman w. Nichols

WASHINGTON, Oct. 28 - A music-maker we know thinks if we substituted ballads for bullets and ballots, peace would come to the world and stay. Saucer-eyed Sammy Eisen. a 44-vear-old bandleader, thought it would be smart to go to another musician for a sympathetic hearing - piano-play-ing President Truman. Sammy couldn't get in to see Mr. 'T'.. in person, since the chief is out of town on important bhusi-

ness. So he did lhe next best thing. He wrote him a note. Music Binds Folks Together HF. WANTS the President to use his high

nffices to press the United Nations into adopting an official anthem, He reasoned if Armv and Navv enlistments could be hypoed and battles won with inspiring music. then the right set of octaves might turn the world toward global peace. The baton-wielder first tried his plar. out on Secretary-General Trygve Lie of the UN. He got a wire back saying the United Nations merely is interested in a musical radio signature. Sammy then appealed 10 the President, “who knows the value of music, which makes for companionship and. friendship.” . “Whoever heard of ‘a man coming out with his fists up after singing a song.” “Music binds folks together,” Sammy said. “And an anthem, conveying respect and feeling

Out of Hiding _

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29 Looks like IT won't have to be a nudist after all. Or even a barefoot boy. The prices of pants and shirts and shoes have skidded for the first time since the end of the war and being decent, with clothes on, isn't quite the costly luxury it was one short week ago. This is a relief to me in more ways than one, For a while there it looked like I'd have to apologize to America's shoe makers for a piece I wrote about the slump in the cost of hides and what about brogans? The results were immediate. Shoe manufacturers from all over deluged me with letters, mostly bitter, saying that the price of shoes couldn't possibly come down and more likely would go up. One Ohio maker of female footgear (and I single him out because he seems to have a point) said his shoes were made mostly of ostrich hide, kidskin and alligator covering, all of which cost him more than they ever did.

Things Begin to Happen

THE RETAILERS of shoes also lambasted me. One in the South said it was fellows like me who brought on depressions with their portable typewriters. I was beginning to wonder whether my hide expert at the Agricultural Department had given me the wrong dope on shoes, thus making me a well-worn heel, when things began to happen in the shoe trade. . The International Shoe Co. and the General i Shoe Corp. announced reductions of 5 to 25 cents “weg, pair, ‘wholesale, on several lines. This wasn't much, but it helped my self-respect. Then along came the Florsheim Shoe Co., slashing the wholesale prices of all its men’s shoes 50 cents per pair. I began to breathe easier. Many of the woolen manufacturers, meantime, had announced they were being forced to hike prices of yard goods again. Inc, of New York, one of the country’s largest
