* » - Inside Indianapolis. : . : : . By Ed Sovola : WANTED: The Indianapolis policeman who saved a child from serious injury or even death last Tuesday evening at Massachusetts Ave. and Walnut St. . ] Description: As far as it is known, he is six feet tall, of slender build and about 32 years old The officer was riding the : E. 10th & Arlington trolley at .5:10 p. m., the time of the in- | cident which could have ended 11 /, ir tragedy if he hadn't acted /“/. quickly and courageously in the finest traditions of the «uniform he wears. } If it hadn’t been for Charles »~-= McConnell, 835 N. Grant Ave, a citizen who thinks “we are | quick to kick a policeman in the britches but slow to pay’ him a compliment,” this hunt for the Unknown Hero probably never would have been launched.

MR. McCONNELL was an eye-witness to the heroic deed, He was driving home along Massa chusetts Ave. and came to a stop beside the trolley .and waited for the green light, Suddenly a policeman burst forth from. the trolley and dashed into thé Heavy evening traffic. Mr. McConnell said, “I don't know how the world he got through to that kid.” In front of the Main Drug Store, 646 Massachusetts Avé.,, was parked a station wagon. The door on the street side was open and a tiny tot was on the street. The policeman shooed her with open arms between the parked cars on to the sidewalk and safety. The light changed and Mr. McConnell drove on. Later he called Heze Clark, veteran Times police reporter, and told his old friend what happened. It was one of those days when Heze and I crossed paths and notes, I took Heze's information and began to burn the wires. I've always preferred to pat a hero on the back.

POLICE CHIEF JOHN AMBUHL was fold

the story. He said he'd check and get in on the’

hunt. ' George Main, owner of Main Drug Store, was surprised to hear about the drama. The only woman he knew that patronized his store who drove a station wagon and had two children wis his wife. It was the first he heard about the rescue.

ft Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, Jan. 11—How do these tycoons get all their mass of work done—and still see and talk to a lot of people? I hate to be tiresome—but I hard at their jobs. For a few years I've made it a practice to be 10 minutes latesfor appointments.” Figured at 3 appointments a day, I save a half hour a day or about 120 hours a year—equivalent to about 3 working weeks. As almost everybody else is late for appointments anyway, I often have to wait half an hour after I get there 10 minutes late. But I've been talking to some big wheels of industry and find I'm wrong. Curiously, they believe in old-fashioned punctuality. Take Charles E. Wilson—"“C. E.’—president of General Motors—one of ‘the “easiest-to-see- " guys” in business. He's in his office well before 8, well before the phone barrage begins. Many executives at Buick, in Flint, are in by 7:30. That explains him. “Actually, not as many people want to talk

guess they work

"to us or see us as you might imagine,” C. R.

Smith, president 6f American Airlines, told me. Sometimes a little man who demands to talk to the president of the airline ‘is astonished to find himself talking to him. * BD CECIL B. DeMILLE, at 70, gets his fantastic amount of work accomplished by working like a railroad. I mean, on schedule. I saw him being hurried away from a cocktail party last night by ‘his daughter, Celia Harper, and his secretary, a walking notebook, Gladys Rossen, Studying his watch, he said, ‘I have to be at a screening in 10 minutes.” His secretaries make short appointments for him. It is hoped that his visitors will leave every half hour—like the trains for Philadelphia. Eleanor Roosevelt works till 2 a. m. and gets about 5 hours sleep. “She even makes appointments in taxis,” John Roosevelt tells me. “Somebody who wishes to see her may be asked to ride with her from her 4pesyment to the station. She's ALWAYS on me.” Thomas J. Watson, at 77, still punches a time clock in his office. His company, IBM, makes time clocks, but he does it to keep a record. ONCE WHEN I wished to see Bernard Baruch about something not urgent, he said, “I'll phone you when I'm less busy.” A week later he phoned and said, some time. Could I could.

“I've got you be here in 10 minutes?”

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, Jan. 11—There must be some inferred compliment to the target of an imitation at least a tacit admission that the subject of the caricature has firmly arrived and is easily reecognizable—which admits that by the time a person has been selected for impersonation he is pretty static stuff. . On that theory alone we last 15 years or so, in the entertainment field, or even in the broader pastures outside "entertainment. Stark, sober, I dropped in of Miss Mitzi Green at ‘the Cold Coparoo the other eve, and discovered that she is still giving us Harry Richman and Sophie Tucker and Fannie Brice, Edward G. Robinson and Eddie Cantor. I remember Miss Green when she was a child actress, in the pre-Shirley Temple era, and her piece de resistance in those days was the lafe George Arliss. Miss Green. counted on sufficient grizzled sophistication among the guests to fill out her ‘schedule with apes of such tender youngsters as Humphrey” Bogart, Jimmy Stewart and Joe E. Lewis, most of whom were paying adult taxes when prohibition was still flowering. I can only gather that nothing else of sufficient personality impact has popped up since Clark Gable's ears quit being a’ RoVelty. 4 .

Murphy had a high time with the Robsevelts, pere et mere, but _I haven't seen anybody "get up on a stage and do Harry or Bess or Margaret, largely because there probably isn’t enough physical or personal eccentricity to mock politely. Harry is such a tragic little man, Bess won't * talk, arid Margaret such a model of decorum that apdrt from the dubious quality of her singing Voice there isn't much to work on. i About 20 years have passed since the subjects of today's impersonations had any 1aVvingly popular vogue. The Jessels, Cantors, Jolsons, Richmans, Brices and Tuckers were all products of dad’s nights out on the town when the booze was {llcit and apt to burn a bung-hole in your goozle, : : Of all the old bunch, only the incomparable® "and deathless Durante has swung back to con- , stant contemporary performance, to where you could say he is part of this generation.

Mrs. Main said she had been visiting friends in the next block. On the way home she decided to stop by the drug store and tell her husband she was going home. Lynn, 3 years old, was instructed to stay in the station wagon and watch Diana.

IN TWO MINUTES Mrs. Main was on her way to the car. She saw Lynn on the sidewalk going to see daddy and a policeman dashing madly between automobiles. Séconds later Diana scrambled over the curb. “I was stunned when I realized what ‘Kad happened. In one ‘breath I tried to thank the poJiceman and speak to Diana and more sharply to Lynn, I'm sorry but I forgot to ask what his name wag,” Mrs. Main explained. Her description coincided with Mr. McConnell’'s. The light was bad and I couldn't get more details. The Unkown Hero is tall, slender and young, He is also quick to size up a situation. Evidently he's the type of a man that doesn’t brag Mrs. Main, now able to think clearly, wants to know who the policeman is. She is sorry in her main concern for the safety of her children she forgot the rescuer, Besides, the policeman didn’t hang around long. He accepted Mrs, Main's thanks and continued on ‘his way.

HEZE. AND I went to see Chief Ambuhl. He - told us he is going through the files to see what man of the more than 700 on the force live where the 10th & Arlington trolley can serve them. . “We often get compliments about unkown members of the force and all we can do is accept them for the entire department,” said Chief Ambuhl. “But we'll try to find this officer.” * So, the last link in the story remains a mystery. I hope the officer who had the presence of mind to act instantly and “correctly will see this and step forward. His version of the Tuesday night incident will complete the. report of an unselfish act. "I'm going to find the guy if I have to crossexamine the entire force beginning with the men whose shifts end at 4:30 p. m. Yes, the officer obviously was off duty.

Tycoons Always Have Time for Visitors

Actresses—especially the older gals—are likely to keep you waiting. They don’t want to seem too eager. “It must be terribly difficult to be a big executive,” I said to C. R. Smith, after we'd gone over all this. “That's a fallacy,” he said. “As Frank Andrews of the Hotel New Yorker once told me, ‘You don’t have to know anything about running a business, because your customers will tell you how to run it anyway!” THE MIDNIGHT EARL . .. Jimmy Durante phoned from LA that he dropped his suit against Martin & Lewis, Hal Wallis and Paramount, alleging they burgled his expression, “That's My Boy,” in a film. “I'm getting old and I never sued anybody,” said Jimmy. “I'm sorry, so I called the whole thing off.” (Another victory for Atty. Louis Nizer.) A B'way rumor says that underworld ‘killers have been ordered to arrange an “accidental death” for a big racketeer. . . .

nation’s attention? The actor's trademark has almost vanished with low-caliber versatility, Even the imports from France, the Charles Trenets and the Jean Sablons, could be backed off the podium even today if Maurice Chevalier limped up and stuck out his lower lip. The newer entertainers in the night spots sing their little songs and do their little acts but generally fail to commandeer the household word. The closest approaches to enduring personality that television has rendered unto Caesar are the combined talents of Kukla, Fran and Ollie, Hopalong Cassidy and Dagmar.

That wasn’t yesterday, bud. : Maybe when I totter into a gin mill some 10 years hence they will have dug up some fresh talent for satire, and we will snicker at a cutting bit on Rosemary Clooney or Patti Page or Jerry Lewis or one of the new Hollywood juveniles with the rumpled hair and the unrememberable name, But I doubt it.

THE collector will use the tax table printed 3% the batk of Form 1040 to compute your tax and send you a refund or a bill depending on whether too much tax or too little tax was withheld from your pay. The tax table automatically gives you a $600 credit for each exemption and a deduction of about-10 per cent of your income for such items as contributions, medical expenses and the like. Before attaching your Forme W-2 to the return, add up the amounts §libwn as deducted for Social Security Tax (F.L.C.A. employee tax). No one person is supposed to pay more than $54 for such tax in 1951. If you worked for more than one employer, it is quite likely that you have had more than $54 deducted for F.I.C.A. tax.

Huks Are On Run, But They're Still Dangerous

By JIM G. LUCAS Scripps-Howard Staff Writer MANILA, Jan. 11—The Com-munist-led Huks are on the run in the Philippines. That doesn’t mean they're any less dangerous. In fact as the overall situation improves, the individual danger increases, "There are two reasons for {his, A year ago, with victory almost in sight, the i Huk politburo hoped to win mass » support of the Philippine people. Their policy was one of benevolence. In many areas, they were regarded as protectars.

Now all that's changed. The. Huks realize now that the Philippine people -— predominantly Catholic. and anti-Com-munist—never will join them" in any great numbers. Embittered and frustrated, the Huks’ policy in the last few months has shifted from Wbenevolénc

EDITOR'S NOTE—In the second of a series of dispatches from the Philippines, Mr. Lucas tells how the Huks have been reduced to small bandit units by the rehabilitated Philippine Army.

Communists the Huks go back to the hills. There’s stil another reason. Many of the Huk rank and file are professional bandits. They joined when assured of amnesty and a division of the spoils. For a while, the Huks had discipline. A destroyed their supply and communications lines. Huk.forces have broken down into smaller units with little contact. As a ‘result, the Huks have lost control over many of their bandit followers. . .

» n n THE Huks are strongest in northern Luzon. Pampanga,

Zambales and Bulacan provinces—all within driving distance of Manila-—are their strongholds. Outside that part of Luzon around Manila — and the Philippine Islands consist of 7200 islands—there is little Huk activity. The Huks made an effort recently to establish themselves on Panay. There are still scattered elements there. But the Panay adventure collapsed ‘when Guellermo Capadocia—second in command in the Huk hierarchy—was killed.

Recently, two Americans were killed a few miles from the main gate. Every day, newspapers carry . accounts of . ambushes, which "have been as commonplace as traffic accidents in the United States. But it's significant that the Huks no longer rald with the idea of gaining political or military advantages. They have been reduced to a state of mere subsistence, Their raids are to get money, food and clothing. . A year ago, the Huks had ambitigus plans. A secret document bearing Luis ‘Taruc’s code signature—“Enteng’’— proposed creation of a 35-division army of 116,480 men. In addition, Taruc was confident he could raise 200,000 behind-the-line supporters and 2.4 million sympathizers by next March. Latest intelligence reports credit them with 4500 arméd men, 5000 behind-the-line supporters and no more than 20,000

sympathizers—that from a total

population of 20 million. " - »

TARUC once was a member

of the Philippine Congress from

Pampanga Province. Two years ago, he made a ‘deal” with President! Elpidio Quirino to surrender. Taruc appeared, collected a year’s back pay as con-

gressman, and went back to the

THE commission, which produces the big network religious programs for both radio and TV, is supported by major Protestant denominations, Since most stations give time free to religious groups, the commission wants to make sure local ministers know how to take advantage of this offer. :

covers that an additional $1000 should have been reported as income in 1951. This would increase your standard deduction by $100 (10 per cent of $1000), making it $690.

Tax Primer Q: & A.

Q. If my wife and I file separate returns, can I itemize all of our deductions and my wife use the standard deduction? A. No. If either spouse itemizes deductions, the other must also even though his deductions are very small. Q. I thought taxes went up last November. How come I don’t have to figure one tax on my income between January and October and the higher tax on my November and December Income? A. The tax rate was increased for the entire year so you use the increased rate on all your income in'1951. But the increase for all of 1951 is only one-sixth as large as the ine crease for 1952.

. Thousands of incriminating doec-

uments were seized. Of 33 arrested, 29 were convicted and 12—including one woman-—wers sentenced to death, The politburo included a foreign office’ official--a career diplothat who once had been active in the United Nations—several professors and labor leaders. 5 = 5 IT'S STILL difficult to tell who is a Huk.
