Inside Indianapolis
By Ed Sovola
CHILD PSYCHOLOGISTS have a place in our society, no doubt about it, but there's one place in town I hope they don’t invade. In fact, a bit of hesitancy about mentioning the hame and address of the popular South Side ice cream and jive spot has suddenly developed. The kids are having fun, the proprietor likes them, they like him, school authorities nearby work hand in hand with the man and it would make me feel pretty bad to have it turned into an observation clinic. There's no telling how many thousands of reasons there are why the kids like to go there. All I know is that when a community acquires or develops something that clicks with the kids in spite of the necessary supervision, we ought to let well enough alone. There's no use even copying. -

TV Just Growed
war days.
By Leo Turner:
NEW YORK, Oct. 3—Television never was invented, it just grew, one ofits pioneers said today. An old, yellowed newspaper clipping shows that the first public demonstration of the transmission of human images through the air was on Aug. 22, 1928. It was transmitted from a radio station at Coytesville, N. J,, that was licensed by a fellow named Herbert C. Hoover, who was then Secretary of Commerce.
Graf Zeppelin and Bigger Dollars
THAT WAS the year that the present, smallsize dollar bills replaced the old, blanket-sized greenbacks. Remember? A- dollar went a long way then. That was the year that Leon Trotsky was exiled from White Russia, the Graf Zeppelin crossed the Atlantic and Mr. Hoover was elected President. Several hundred scientists gathered at a hall in New York University’s Upper Manhattan campus and squinted into some three-quarter by threequarter inch screens and watched the faces of the people who were speaking on the other end. The first human faces to be transmitted through the air ‘in that public demonstration of television were those of Hugo Gernsback, now
. publisher of a radio magazine, and John Gelasco, " chief engineer of the old Pilot Electric Co., for-
merly of Lawrence, Mass. Mr. Gelasco is now head of an electronics company at Milan, Italy. They were followed by several radio entertainers. “The received image was of sufficient definition to enable observers to see the woman’s features distinctly,” the old newspaper clipping reported. “The animated image did not stay in one place but continually shifted in one direction.”

Now he talks more about his Ayreshire dairy farm than he does about radios. He equipped a flying laboratory in 1930 and loaned it to the government for two-| way radio experimentation. “Television never was invented like the telephone was,” he said. people grew with it.”

Global Giveaway By Frederick C. Othman statis

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3—To understand this dispatch you've got to remember that one Cornelius Leroy came to town the other day in a rumpled brown suit and started handing $100 bills to people who looked like they could use ‘em. He'd passed out $12,000 to hack drivers, waitresses and passers-by when the police caught up with him. It was his own money. He came by it honestly. But the bluecoats slapped him in ~Gallinger Hospital to have his head examined. Now go on with the story: To Congress came the federal security administrator, Oscar Ewing, in shiny pince nez glasses, with President Truman’s multimilliondollar plan to help underprivileged around the world. Mr. Ewing announced that his organization was prepared and would be delighted to go into the social security business on a global basis.
Heal the Sick, Feed the Hungry
THEY'D HEAL the sick and teach the hungry to feed themselves. Oscar said, for instance, that in Paraguay there was a Vast territory in which no man dared enter. “Anybody who goes into it,” he added “comes out covered with tropical sores.” His health experts could do something about that. They could stop plagues before they began, help the people to a happier life, and thereby do "much to stop the spread of Communism. He was waxing enthusiastic, when Rep. Walter H. Judd of Minnesota said he wanted to ask some questions. He didn't intimate that they might be embarrassing. Dr. Judd was perhaps the only man in Congress who knew anything firsthand about helping the downtrodden. As a distinguished surgeon and medical missionary in China for years, he made Oscar listen respectfully. There's nothing wrong with the idea of Mr. Truman spending $45 million a year doing good around the world, said Dr, Judd, now a Republican lawgiver from Minneapolis. Only trouble is that the bureaucrats probably will waste most
of the money, he predicted, and succeed in turning friends into enemies. “The churches of America are spending around $100 million a year of American money around

sure about that : {future "generations.
‘Higher Standards Cause Unrest’
“YOU TALK about bringing social stability to these people,” he said. “Well, they've had social stability for 4000 years. What we're doing is trying to raisé their standards’ and we're causing social unrest. When I was out there I often wondered whether I was doing more harm than good.” “Harumpf,” vent Rep. John Vorys of Ohio, another Republican. “I just want to make an observation. They put Cornelius Leroy in Gal-
