ONLY IN AMERICA, and, too bad, .in Indian—apolis; would-this happen. If T hadn't heard it, seen ft, I'd say “applesauce” and continue worrying about the World Series. The revelation of an incredibly lackadaisical attitude toward = the present struggle of two powerful ideologies by 99 per cent of the Americans who passed my booth on the Circle, where they had an opporunity to sign:the “Declaration of Freedom” scroll, left me stunned. .~ My purpose for volunteering an afternoon to signing up Americans for the “Crusade for Freedom,” was to witness a show of patriotic fervor all freedom-loving individuals who wanted to remain individuals. The “Crusade for Freedom” I knew had as its primary aim the objective of mobilizing all Americans in a “truth” campaign to communicate our goals and ideals and friendship te the enslaved millions behind the Iron Curtain.

Located in Frankfort

TO FIGHT THE enemy's lies with truth, “Crusade for Freedom” wants to keep Radio Free Europe in high-powered broadcasting. Presently the station is located in Frankfort, Germany, and it broadcasts daily to the Iron Curtain countries of Eastern Europe in their own languages. The broadcasts deal cwith-plain, hard-hitting truths. Radio Free Europe has no connection with the govern;. ment’'s Vice of America.

President Harry S. Truman said, “I Hepe tht all Americans will join in dedicating thegi€elves to this critical struggle for men's inds: . . or

yagh for the campaign, I signed my name on the scroll. Mine was first, on the sheet, right under the “Declaration of Free-' dom, ” which stated: “I believe in the sacredness and dignity of the individual. I believe that all men derive the right to freedom equally. from God. I: pledge to resis aggression and tyranny wherever they appear on earth. “I am proud to enlist in the Crusade for Freedom. I am proud to help make* the Freedom Bell possible, to be a signer of this Declaration of Freedom, to. have my name included as a permanent part of the Freedom Shrine in Berlin, and to join with the millions of men and women throughout the world who hold the cause of freedom sacred.” During four hours, 68 Americans signed their names on the scroll. I was especially proud of Sgt. James A. Vaught, Crawfordsville, and Cpl. Orville L. Funk, Corydon, who signed the scroll and dropped the price of a beer each into the container. During the four hours, hundreds of people walked by, glanced at the posters and either didn't know a thing about the “Crusade for Freedom’ or couldn’t be bothered.

‘I'm Not a Joiner’ HERE ARE SEVERAL choice remarks I received when I asked for signatures to the scroll: “Cost me $150 the last time I sifftved & paper.” “ft 1 get my name on that they'll be vestigat: ing me in a week.” “How~“do I know-1t isn’t a false front organiza. tion?" ) “I know it's weH ! recominended but I'm not a!

WASHINGTON, little piece here the other SY about the price of pepper soaring to $2.65 per “pound. I've been in a pepper pot ever since. President Truman, as it turns out, is the only fellow who can bail me out. The original item, you may remember, said that pepper—which used to wholesale for 4 cents per pound—is the’ world’s most inflated article of commerce. Sprinkle the stuff on your eggs today and your pocketbook feels. it.

A LADY IN NEW YORK reported in passing 3

that I was guilty of understatement. some pepper from one of America's biggest hy partment stores and it cost her $5.40 a pound - She sent along the sales ticket to prove it.

I blamed this spiciest of all inflations upon war in the East Indies, where most pepper is: grown; on speculation by pepper specialists all over the world, and on the stockpiling of pepper as an article of war by the Federal Munitions Board. The paper hardly had hit the street before an official of this mightiest purchasing agency was protesting. He said the Munitions Board was not, either, stockpiling pepper. And how’ s to print a correction? I told him-I had his own official list of stockpile materials, including rubber, opium, tin, industrial diamonds, copper and—pepper. He broke down then and told all: : Seems that way back in the good old days when soldiers wore whiskers and rode horses, there were no refrigerators. Mostly the warriors ate sausages, which were preserved with salt and no teiling what else, and then were impregnated heavily with pepper to disguise the taste. Since then through two more wars “and periods of peace our Army used pepper in large quan-

Thousands Face Loss of Ballot With Only 263,000 of 350,000 Signed Up

Although registration of voters in Marion County and most other areas of Indiana is exceeding the rate in 1948, {many thousands of voters will not be eligible to cast ballots in the Nov. 7 election. There are more than 350,000 adults (citizens 21 or.over) in Marion County but so far only 263,000 have been regis10,000 to 15,000¢ more are expected to get their names on the poll hooks before the registration deadline Oct. 9. That means' that only about three-fourths of Marion {County's voting public will have a chance to express. a choice of officials here on election day. Failure of many thousands of citizens to register and vote has been one-of the weaknesses in democracy —a fallure that, if continued, could eventually permit the few to rule the ma jority, Registrations are being then now at the rate’ of about 1000 a day and by the Oct. 9 deadline, Election Board officials expect a total listing of about 275,000 voters, Although this would be about 8000 more than were registered for the 1948 presidential election here, it ix atill far short of the number that should be on the poll books if A true representative wote of Jocal citizenry is to be recorded at the polls Nov, 7, | It ‘will mean that 75,000 or more citizens of ‘Marion County have given up their right of citizenship —disfranchised themselves by default, At the polls this fall, Marion County citizens must select officials who will represent them in Congress and more. than a score of men and women who will run. the [county and township governments for the next two to four |years, including Representatives who will vote on new Indi ana laws in the Legislature next January and February. rl Every official elected here Nov. 7 will become a vital cog - 2 {in the most important machine of a free world — the government. .
