Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola

“IT WAS a close call, gulation, Just awful glad. 1 know the person who threw his wad of chew‘gum bn a hot sidewalk didn’t intend ‘to give me such a fright, Under ordinary circumstances the flavorless gum would have been a blotch instead of a’ death trap. a <Fver since the day az a barefoot boy with cheeks of tan, when I had four toes stuck together with hot: bubble gum, I've been careful. Through the years the obsession grew until an open manhole was pre-

gum, The guard was down the other day. After countless

wandering in our asphalt jungle, body salts about gone, eves of red clouding up at every other ‘listless step, the right foot suddenly wouldn't move. First fearful thought was that paralysis had Bet in. Yes, too much ice water and other cold drinks had affected the nervous system. The hody simply wouldnt take any more punishment. >

THE RIGHT hand moved from memory to wire away beads of perspiration about the rolling eyes. Let them gaze at a limb that once was Btrong, once was as a young oak in a forest. Some kind soul surely would ease me to the sidewalk and speak softly and comfortingly until the General Hospital] ambulance arrived. The intersection of Washington and Illinois Sts. began to spin. 1 thought of family and friends and childhood Boenes passed in review. It was disturbing to see the Paramount newsreel cameraman looking 80 sad of eye as he cranked his machine. Time passed, the childhood scenes ended, the Paramount cameraman packed up and left and still no sirens, no gentie hands, no comforting words. The right leg was lpase at the knee and the body moved from the hip. There was feeling in the leg. The trouble seemed to be underfoot.

It Happened Last Night

By Earl Wilson

NEW YORK, July 3—I was reading the other flay that Irish humor may be on the decline. As I'm married to an Irish colleen (who comes from Nebraska, Missouri, Pennsylvania and other foreign points), I was disturbed, for I hope “me old hairpin” won't be losing her sense of humor. Me missus — the Beautiful Wife—has a nice way with her (that she does) and is never without a funny remark. Or at least a remark, She keeps our books and lately she’s got something of a stenographer’s spread from doing .s0.- As she puts it: “I'm good at keeping figures, except my own.” "Twas a man of the cloth— & «4 Brother Sabinus, C. 8. of Notre Dame, out at South Ben Mr OBrien —who wrote of the possibility Irish humor might’ decline. Because, he said, there's a trend in Ireland. .for the.nation ia he: come bachelors and old maids. = a Ob SURE, AND THERE aren't enough Pat O’'Rriens around to tell Pat and Mike stories. The Irish humor is so uproarious we need it. A priest told me years ago how he'd instructed the new hired girl about serving dinner for important guests, “Now be sure,” he cautioned her, “you don’t spill anything.” “Oh, now don’t you worry, Father” she said, *I know ‘enough to keep me mouth shut.” = The priest delighted in the story and approved my printing it. I've heard it on TV since. Then there was the Irish family which had come from Dublin. and got exasperated at letters from the folks they'd left back on the old sod. For the kinfolk bragged endlessly of their prosperity. Finally the family that had come to America went to Washington and had a picture taken with the White House as a backdrop. Then they sent the picture to Dublin with the note: “This is our summer home.” > @ "TIS ME OWN “old hairpin” who likes to tell the Omaha classic—how Nebraska must be Irish because they named their big city after an Irishman—O'Maha. ‘And they say that at a dinner in Cleveland for Manager Lou Boudreau of the Boston Red Sox, it was mentioned by former owner Alva Bradley that Boudreau was found by a scout named English. Boudreau whispered that the scout’s name was Ireland. “I was close,” said Bradley. “There's not much difference between England and Ireland.” Up leaped a listener to exclaim: “Will you please stand corrected—there's a helluva difference between England and Ireland.” Brother Sabinus told some of these stories in

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK, July 3—It would seem that a grateful Senate has just passed a hill that should have been on the hooks before—a bill to limit the recall of veterans of the Korean fighting to future active duty, without their consent or special congressional decree. It is not much, and can possibly he twisted and overridden .according to the President's bdd whim, but it should have been placed in forge after the armistice with the Japs in the last one. Some percentage of the weary old retreads who have found their lives interrupted for a second time might be now working at their jobs and living with their families instead of fighting a fool's war in which they have very small interest. This would seem to be a sort of retrospective pay back by Congress for some of the arrant cowardice employed in an election year to kill universal military training, which might have been the one sure source of maintaining a reservoir of trained fighting men. In the absence of UMT, the Korean crisis dragged a lot of tired old graduates of World War II back into a; while men who never served their countrie all stayed home. > » oe THERE MIGHT have been some excuse for the impressment of married veterans if the Ko‘rean idiocy had not heen dubbed a “police action” by our all-wise President—if it had been a massive war instead of a minor meddle, But Korea has heen such a war that it had to be fought under wraps for purely political reasons, with all sorts of odd limitations and restrictions on its prosecution.

Gum on Sidewalk

Bags Pedestrian

‘ONE MIGHTY effort raised the foot an inch off the sidewalk only to be snapped downward. A .sliding motion forward and backward “poked holes in my sock. “Looks like a whopping wad of gum you stepped in,” chuckled a passerby. Gum, nasty and gooey gum. Two days ago at a bus stop a gob of the stuff attached itself to my shoe. Prompt action by the bus driver and a male passenger saved me. Of course, I was stronger two days ago. :

A no-parking sign within arm’s reach helped provide the necessary leverage. Fortunately the first attempt was successful, otherwise it would have been more expedient to leave the shoe behind. I had to get out of the hot sun, boy. As usual, when you need a sc per or a stidk, none is to he found. Rubbing the bottom of the shoe on the side of the curb merely spread the sticky rubber over a greater area. The blotch on the sidewalk should have been sprinkled liberally with sand or salt, Since the heat wave began I've heen leaving the utility kit which contains such items at home. > > »

IN THREE =quares the bottom of my shoe was an inch. thick with pebbles, paper, cigaret stubs. An fron grating on Maryland St. was used to scrape the accumulation off. When the temperature goes down to zero sometime, I'll take a chisel and knock the stuff loose.

Mrs. Carl Zike, 347 Layman Ave. A-—-Most plants will drop part or all of their buds or bloom if you disturb roots (even by deep hoeing) in this critical ‘period of their lives. So take your plant up with just as much earth and just as little root disturbance as you can manage. Pot it up to carry to your new home. Then the less you disturb it the better until it is through blooming. As soon as flowers are past their best, set it. out in the ground again and give it the same treatment as before—winter protection, rich loose soil, plenty of water. It should then make

FOR A HAPPIER VACATION—No. 4

Here Are Some Rules For Tipping

This is the fourth of five articles by Norman D. Ford, traveler, editor, author and a founder of the Globe Trotters Club, By NORMAN D. FORD SOME travel writers report the old 10 per cent rule for tipping is no good any more—that in this era

of high prices one must tip 15

or 20 per cent of the hill If you'll stop to think, you'll see at once a percentage is a percentage at all times. With the heavy price increases over the last few years there is certainly no need to increase percentages, If a $1 meal costs $2, the normal 10 per cent tip results in twice as much income for the waitress as before.

Tipping is essentially a personal problem. It dften is a headache to novice travelers, As a rule nowadays, don’t tip less than 10 cents and above $2 tip in multiples of 16 cents. Add about 20 per cent to what you would normally give if your trip or stay is unusually prolonged or if it is of a higher class then you mormally use or if you demand more than usual service, On American flag ships, the stewards receive three times the wages paid on foreign flag

ships such as the Cunard Queens or ‘the Liberte, American ship stewards don't rely on tips as much as foreign

stewards, Another point is that

you .generally receive better steward service on foreign ships,

Also, always endeavor to tip stewards on foreign flag ships in dollars, because they use the money to buy gifts or food in New York for their families in Europe. : » n ” IN MEXICO, don’t tip taxi drivers, bootblacks or guides. Give 6ne to two pesos where you would give a dollar in the U. 8., two pesos in higher class establishments, one in modest

places. The 10 per cent rule is fairly reliable in Mexico. Don’t tip

household servants unless your stay has been prolonged. It's not considered good form. Here are some suggestions to aid you in tipping the right amount in the United States. It's not too much or too little: FOR HOTELS, RESORT : OR COMMERCIAL: For the Bell-Hop: Twentyfive cents if the service is good; 15 cents if service is poor, 20 cents if average, If he carries several bags for you, tip at the rate of 15 cents a bag. This goes for one or two persons. Restaurant Waiter: Five dol-

Going On Vacation? Better Remember—

THERE ARE more things to do than telling the milk man to stop your daily two quarts; canceling your grocery delivery or shutting off the gas when you get ready to go on your vacation, This was the warning of Herbert: G. Klinck, executive secretary of the Indianapolis ¢Travelers Aid «Society. He spends a lot of his time in the summer straightening out the problems of people who _have fouled up in making their vacation plans. His experiences have led him to make a list of important things to remember. They are: ” EJ ~ ONE-—Make sure you carry identification all the time. If possible put some on baggage to avoid losing-it. TWO—Make sure you're expected. Let everyone know you're coming, they may be planning on visiting you. If you're going to a large city be sire of the station at which you'll arrive. THREE -Take plenty of money with you. It might come in handy to have a few extra

bucks on hand if something goes wrong. ” » ” FOUR—Don't load yourself

TOKYO, July 3—Thousands of Korean residents in Japan are serving as shock troops-in a Communist drive to harass the Japanese police, annoy the Security Forces, discredit the United Nations Command, embarrass the Republic of Korea and make trouble for the gov-

ernment of Premier Shigeru Yoshida. Japanese police have ar-

rested 93 Koreans as a result of the Communist riot here on May Day, and they are looking for more. Koreans sparked the riot on May 31 in which two persons were killed. . Japanese newspapers daily carry such headlines as: “Korean Extremists clash with police.” “Korean students tussle with Diet Guards.” “Korean Mob Attacks Tax Office.” Behind the headlines is a story of intrigue, smuggling of dope and humans, official mismanagement, snarled diplomacy and international communism. a , = o ~ > AT ..LEAST. half of more than 600,000 Koreans in Japan are believed pro-Communist, Japanese authorities say there are only 1000 card holding Communists among them, but that 70 per cent favor North Korea in the war.

The Sea of Japan is full of fishing boats. It is easy to land at night and disappear into the mountains. The Japanese are counting on a big, new supply of Coast Guard ships from the United States.

Japan. Many more are plain war Terugess.

THE SPOKESMAN for the Republic of Korea pointed out it was difficult for him to discuss the problem in view of the fact that Japan and the Republic of Korea are currently negotiating on the question of repatriation. In May, Japan repatriated 410 Koreans, The Republic of Korea refused to accept 125 of them on the ground that they were legal residents of Japan. All had been convicted of crimes. The Japanese contend that they have the same right the United States exercises to expel undesirable aliens. x . ” » MEANWHILE, Korean Communists have responded to threats of forceful repatriation with more violent demonstrations. Japanese cite this as evidence that they are living better than they ever did or could in Korea. Non-Communist South Koreans simply remark that Communists know they would face trouble in South Korea. Hatred of Japanese authority, inspired during the war, has induced many. a poor Korean to join Communist activities, they say. There are two major obstacles to ovércoming the Communist influence, both Japanese and South Koreans agree. One is growing dissatisfaction with the government of Syngman

Rhee. The other is the theory ‘that since United Nations forces stopped at the 38th Parallel, the only hope for

uniting Korea lies in accepting Communist contro).
