‘Tnside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola
IT ISN'T often that you get a letter from City Hall asking you to come over . .. “we will be happy to see you.” : J. G. Mingle, superintendent of the bureau of air pollution prevention, went out on a smokestack and fired one over. Since a trip to the City Hall {s slightly less depressing than going to a pool room, I went. One of these days I hope someone over there takes the bull by the horns and brightens that joint up. And I don’t mean by replacing the 100-watt bulbs with 150-watt. The 100's almost blind - you on the stairways. The parts of one of the elevators were strewn in front of Mr. Mingl€’s: office. Smoke rolled over the partitions to the inner office and loud voices rattled the glass.
Men with good lungs were discussing pure air problems
for municipalities. > IN A FEW MINUTES, stout fellows with large stacks of papers under their arms piled through T the door and shortly Mr. Mingle appeared, coughing slightly. “Do you allow smoking In this office?” Mr. Mingle said smoking was allowed. He lighted a fresh cigar a little smaller than a baseball bat. We walked into his office, which was in keeping with the yest of He building. <*
“WHY WILL you be happy to see me?" 1 asked. The air pollution superintendent said he had a progress report he wanted people to see and hear about. He started searching through the drawers of his desk. “We're going to, have mimeographed copies made of the progress report,” Mr. Mingle explained, as he continued his search through a set of filing cases. . “I have a perfect filing system,” laughed Mr. Mingle. “I can never find anything when I want it.” At his desk again, my host discovered the
report.
> & THE REPORT was 17 typewritten pages long,
rt r double-spaced. It was a bit frightening. No pic3 4 tures, you know, just solid reading matter. On i OR oe top of that, it was a duplicate. The original was i 2 in the hands of Mayor Bayt. The “dupes” were
foggy and made you think you were reading in a thick smog. Mr. Mingle concerned himself with the period between Sept. 1, 1949, and Mar. 1, 1951, when he
took the smoke problem over. It would be brutal to subject you to the report.

NEW YORK, Apr. 5—It seems we have now seen everything. Lo, behold and forsooth, we now have a poor man’s war, a draft in which the college man is mainly exempt from exposure to the military, and a brand-new caste system in the country. Our President, in his wisdom, has ordered deferment « {rom military service for young a. men who are passing their work in college, and shortly will subject other young men to special aptitude tests with an eye to deferment if they are smart
x 90 0 enough to make a certain 3g grade, as yet unannounced. Se X Of course, if a man is too
poor to entertain the idea of college, or not spiritually attuned to higher education, he is still draft meat. Fall in, Bum, you're in the Army now. We draft the Al Smiths, in other words, and exempt the Alger Hisses. rely THIS, finally, seems to be as gross a violation of individual rights as has come down the pike lately. To choose a soldier on a basis of educational opportunity is almost, if not quite. as unfair a proposition as drafting only redheaded, blue-eyed: boys with a strawberry mark on their right shoulders, while everybody else goes free. It is admitted that education is important, but a great many successful people never went to chllege, and a great many bums did attend the better seminaries. But this is really beside the point. The point is that the draft, like death and taxes, should be democratic in its administration. If there is a war stirring, and if a draft fs necessary, then the obligation belongs to everybody. The load is shareable by all—not just a few. You can't segregate a war according to culture.

Let's say that Mr. Mingle is tickled pink with the work of his department and he’s encouraged with the future. : ¢ & »
WE MIGHT hop lightly over the statistics. His file includes 345 air pollution violators who were charged with two or more violations since Septembef-1, 1949. His réport states: “The great majority of these have been brought under control.” : “ From Sept. 1 and Dec. 31, 1849,-517 ordinance violdtions were charged; during 1950, 744 viola-
tions were charged and up to Mar. 1, 1951, 181 |
violations were put on the books. > & @ THERE'S a long list of improvements listed; 17 industrial firms, hospitals, hotels, converted to high-pressure boilers and stokers, seven laundries, ice cream companies and one milk outfit con-’ verted to oil; 18 firms changed their fuel in steam boilers and seven installed overfire air systems, whatever that means, Eight firms have signified willingness to: take necessary steps to correct their troubles.

I was brought up in the steel and refinery regions of northern Indiana, where a kid cuts his lungs on smoke. On rare occasions when the wind was straight north off lake Michigan and blew fresh air into our neighborhood, we used to get sick. No kidding. In the shadow of a steel firm, we talked to a housewife. She was boiling mad. Mr. Mingle assured her that Alfred K. Berman, deputy county prosecutor, was going all out for action since. it was within the jurisdiction of the county authorities. > SS

When the engineers and crews recognize you a mile off, you have been poking around, keeping themr'on their toes. | ' “Much work still remains to be done in clearing the air of all forms of pollution. With the assistance of every management, agency and citizen, we propose to do everything within our power and means in making a cleaner city.” That's the last paragraph of the progress report. Smoke 'em out, chief, even if you have to put the fires out.
