Inside Indianap PUT A CANDLE ‘in your window, f \, , friends, Wandering Ed is on his flying carpet again and heading for Nova Scotia, where’ the ponderous tuna play in the International Tuna Matches, I might as well be honest and say, that at this point, I'm sure of two things: First, the boss put his stamp of approval on the junket and second, Tony (Mr, Speedway) Hulman of Terre Haute is % member of the United States Sharp Cup Tuna eam. '

The first stop will be Bosto

Wow cs DAE 7 RMN 3 i e ‘headquarters for International Tuna’ Matches Is Wedgeport, about 20 miles from Se mouth. 3 : Mrs. Hulmap is scheduled to take the same gteamer to joi her sportsman husband and it's very: likely two Hoosiers will eross paths, 1 hope 80 because Mrs. Hulman’ has been in Nova Scotia

its total. : : ‘Wilbur Shaw, president of the Speedway, will be out on the briny. He's not on the team. I forgot to ask him if he's a water bay. or bait! boy or what. He advised me to bring along wool shirts, waterproof trousers, long underwear and a good stomach. Raincoats and boots will be provided.| Surely the tuna boats can’t be any rougher than a destroyer. My stomach has 100 for deportment, | Even on a heavy cruiser, running through the tail end of a hurricane, my stomach behaved. Now, excuse me-while I knock on wood. - Tuna are caught with rod and reel. Sometimes it takes a man three to four hours to. land one, Seems like an awful lot of trouble when you can go to the grocery and pick up a can of tuna in ‘half that time. But, 1 guess that's where the sport comes in. The thing that intrigues me the most is how they get a 500-pound tuna in a can. Must take another three or four hours. Boy, there are a lot of points about the whole business that have to be cleared up.

Up With the Dawn

WILBUR SHAW said we'd have to be up at dawn the days the matches are on. The tournament starts at 7:30 a. m. and ends at 4 p. m. Getting up at dawn doesn’t appeal to me especially. It will be quite an experience, though, to see dawn break. Always wanted to get up at dawn in Nova Scotia, There’s a possibility that I may have a chance

"to wet a line and try my luck. A friend from

Seymour, Claude Gilliatt, sent me a jar of worms, a jar of special cockroaches and crickets, And that isn’t all. David M. Davisson, superintendent of Balke & Krauss Lumber Co., built] a wooden crate to take along. I thihk a big tuna fry would be fun when I get back. A 300-400-pound tuna should go a long way. a Keep your fingers crossed and bear with the Indiana delegation. I'll be coming through with a blow-by-blow description of the tournament. Wilbur Shaw will be rooting or baiting hooks or something and All Tony Hulman has to do is catch the biggest and most tuna. Who knows, at the Sharp Trophy dinner, when the awards are preserited, it may be a ‘Hoosier Night. Next stop, Boston.

Who's Boss?

By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Sept. 9—We have a situation going that is rather tough to appraise, because somebody is a cinch to haul off- and knock your brains out from pure bias, but I think I will take a cut at it anyhow, ' In a few short days we have the following occurrences: A longshoreman’s union defies the President of the United States and shapes its own foreign’ policy hy refusing to handle Soviet merchandise- An actress, Jean Muir, accused of Com-munist-front affiliation, is summarily fired from her television job because of informal complaints. A member of the cabinet, Navy Secretary Matthews, shoots off his own verbal guns in an offengive war and is rebuked. A general, Orville Anderson, Is sternly disciplined for advocating a “preventive war” over the head of his government,

No Off-Cuff Government

ETS SAY for argument that everybody's ric longshoremen, the people who accuse Miss Muir, and Secretary Matthews and Gen. Anderson hit the beam in their views. I wouldn't know, myself. But what I do know is that you cannot operate the government off the cuff. You cannot go around experting on your own when there are official structures erected to.act for the people who vote, any more than you can take law into your own hands to expedite justice according to your personal whim. Too many cooks not only gpoil the soup—they spell anarchy. As simple a thing as a baseball game must have an umpire and a rigid set of rules, otherwise somebody will: say that .over-the-fence is out, qpstead” of x home run; and that. five. or.three. balls constitute a walk: This is why we have a government and an FBI and a State Department and a police force.

ness it is our fault for electing them, and we must speedily hand ‘em the can. But ‘while we got em we're stuck with ‘em. Take the longshoremen union’s boycott on Russian goods. I would applaud it, if it were officially a directive of our State Department, which the good Lord knows has been a lost child for a long time. But when you ‘hiré a President, and a State Department, it is not for a trade

Gyrating, Beef

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9—1 haven't sunk fy teeth into a beefsteak in so long that I have ‘forgotten what a salubrious experience this can . 1 guess you'd call me an almost-vegetarian, strictly involuntary. ; " This piteous situation, in "which I chomp mostly rabbit food, began about two months ago when the butchér tried to charge my bride $1.35 a pound for lamb chops. She would have none of them. Nor would she settle for round steak at $1.11 per pound. Anyhow, she said, she bet it was tough.

Cheese and Feathers SINCE THEN I have been getting eggs scrambled: vegetables dunked in cheese; fish, an chicken in so many guises that my whiskers are turning feathery. For special treats on Sunday we have hamburger, but not often, because it costs 70 cents a pound. That's why my interest was a good deal morg than casual when Sen. Guy M. Gillette (D.), the white-haired investigator from Iowa, called in the butchers to ask ‘em how come the price of meat was so high. What pained him was the fact that steers on the hoof have been selling for around 30 cents a pound all this year, while the price of steak has been bouncing like a kite in a high wind. ’ The Senator hauled out a chart which showed that steady line on live-beef and above it another line, as jagged as the Sierra Nevada mountain range, to indicate the retail price on sirloin steak, It has ranged since the first of January from 75 cents a pound to $1.10. Whenever it hits this high-level for a couple of days, it skids down to around 90 cents (which Mrs. O, says still is no bargain) and then jumps up again, J. Arnold Anderson, the solemn-faced gentleman who fixes the prices on meats for the Safe-

union to speak for all the people of the United States in regard to the nation’s handling of relations with a foreign country. Acting arbitrarily, these longshoremen, under different motivation, might as easily refuse to hustle cargo destined for. our forces in Korea. 1. recall that Harry Bridges’ dockers nearly wrecked the economy of Hawaii with a lengthy strike. I know that the dockers of Australia have acted so, capriciously that they have seriously impaired the | commerce of that country. Who is to say that any one union can speak for the whole people? Along the same lines, you must commend the White House for its rebuke of Navy Secretary Matthews and Gen. Anderson. I do not want my country’s policy, especially when it concerns such a serious thing as offensive atomic war, being formulated unofficially by underlings. Not so long as we have a representative government. | I don’t know anything about Jean Muir, who suddenly found herself jobless because of alleged | Commie-front affiliations. All I know is that she hasn't got a job anymore. The charges against) her whatever they are, have not been-tried before a jury. She may be as red as a Santa suit, but it isn't official. Somebody just objected to her presence on a show, and she got canned.

It's Not Personal Business

1 WOULD personally advocate the execution of | the likes of Alger Hiss and Judy Coplon, the silly, sexy little spy from Brooklyn. I despise informers like Whit Chambers and the yowling turncoats like Budenz and this Pressman fellow. Maybe as an individual I.would applaud a decision. to rub. out Russia now, as an early antidote to an undeveloped ulcer, But it is not my business, It is not my business, .or the business of the Veterans o{ Foreign Wars, or the dockwallopers, to decide whether or not we continue commerce with Russia, who sits with our United Nations, and who was our recent ally and recognized equal. It is not my business—or a Navy secretary's business, or a general's business —to publicly advocate preventive war. It is none of our personal business to destroy a livelihood for an individual until she or he has been! tried before a jury of peers, :

Fact is, sald he,.theégross profits of his firm go far this year on meat has ranged from 2.32 per cent to 11.24 per cent. Sen. Gillette, whom you'll remember as the man who tangled with the high price of coffee without having much effect on it, still” couldn’t understand why there ‘should be such wild gyrations in the price of steaks. Mr. Andersen said that was easy. Every time, he jacks up the tag on sirloin to what he considers a proper level, the Mrs. Othmans of the land rebel.

... SEN. GILLETTE called in a number of packinghousemen; they all said that their profits were so low. they never knew for. certain when they were going in the red. They said they had to pay high prices to farmers; if they didn't, the latter would sell to somebody who would. The Senator was not satisfied. Neither was I.
