Inside Indianapolis By Ed Sovola :

SINCE many book lovers in outlying districts found it inconvenient to go to libraries, a library now goes to them, That's the idea behind the Indianapolis Public Library Bookmobile, Visited the library on wheels when it stopped in the Christian Church parking lot, 38th St. near Keystone Ave, . J . Of course, I liked it lock, stock and bookshelf immediately. Think of the service it renders. Think of the convenfence of a mobile libtary. But, what is one man’s opinfon, especially since he finds his own book on a shelf? What do the citizens’ think who live miles away from a library and suddenly, on regular days of the week, have at their disposal a library?” Mrs. Robert Copp, 3819 Hillside Ave., bubbled, “It's wonderful, wonderful. We've needed a library for years and years.” Mrs, Carolyn Posthumus, 3543 N. Gale raid, “It's a fine idea . . to find. I just love it.”

It’s air-conditioned, therels drinking water aboard and comfortable cushioned seats. Every library service is. provided. Books can be returned to the Bookmobile on scheduled days or taken to the main librarys For the present time, the Bookmobile will be fn Kroger's parking lot, 4547 E. 10th St.. from 1 to 3 p. m. on Tuesdays; Stop and Shop parking lot, 38th St. near Sherman Dr. on Wednesdays from 1 to 3, and in the Christian Church parking area, 38th St. and Keystone Ave. on Fridays, 1to3 p.m ?

Election Bills By C. B. Cleveland

CHICAGO, Sept. 29 (CDN)—The Republican Party is well on its way to collecting the $4 million needed for this campaign, R. Douglas Stuart, national treasurer, said yesterday.

The party's budget calls for $3 million to pay for the national campaign, $1.2 million to finance candidates for Congress and $600,000 for the Senate candidates.

Some states are dragging their feet, Mr. Stuart reported, while others like Wisconsin were delayed until after their primary. But most are gathering cash at a satisfactory rate now, he said.

Delaware already has met its quota and Democratic strongholds like New Mexico and Montana are about three-fourths completed. Previously these two states have fallen far short of their goal. “But we still need a lot of money,” Mr. Stuart cautioned. “The final weeks of the campaign, like a selling job, are the most intemse and the most costly.” ook

BIGGEST ITEM on the expense account are the campaign trains and television. Added this time are flying trips like that of Sen. Nixon to meet Gen. Eisenhower in West Virginia last week. Sen. Nixon's speech cost $75000. It also was not in the original budget. It means $75,000 will have to be lopped out of the budget somewhere

"else,

. Fascist, Communist, or just plain dull.

In theory the law would permit the Republicans to raise $9 million with each of the three campaigns getting $3 million. But such expenses are unnecessary, Mr, Stuart believes. He indicated maybe even the present budgets are too high, but politics comes expensive these days. The budgets are prepared by a committee con-

sisting of Mr. Stuart, the national committee fi-

nance chairman and heads of the congressional and senatorial campaign committees. They have the power to approve or reject any projects proposed by Ike or Sen. Nixon which involve spending cash. Mr. Stuart indicated several ideas had been vetoed recently,

Americana By Robert C. Ruark

NEW YORK-—I am just a little weary, and maybe you are, too, of all the coy disclaimers of. Communist affiliates on the grounds of either ignorance or stupidity. Down in Washington the other day a babe who plays dumb dolls, Miss Judy Holliday, took the act into the Senate and shrugged off her record of footie-footie with organized Commie fronts. She just rolled them big dumb--like a ferret—blue eyes and said she was too irresponsible for words and a bit more than slightly stupid. She didn't know what she was mixed up in, she said. From what I hear of Miss Holliday she has a brain one point snappier than a bear trap, and she has been a long time around a racket in which shrewdness is placed before either beauty or talent. She kept turning up on those old fronts vear after year, though, and now she pleads dumb. Stupid. Giddy. Nuts. I wouldn't say the wishful pinks like Judy do a great deal of harm, because their espousal of anything is largely a waste of everything but words, They get up there on the rostrum at the rallies and shove out their chest measurements and holler about the common man and damn the dirty bosses and then everybody goes home and gets loaded. It makes a few sticks of type in the press and gives the ruckus-makers a sense of importance for a day or so. It gives them a sense of nobility in the mind.

It seems to me the papers have been loaded for years with backslid “liberals,” I guess they're called—ex-Commies, | ex-semi-Commies, ex-demi-semi-almost-near-'bout-Commies, and the friends of friends of friends. So long’s the money comes steady they are liberal. Chop off the money and turn off the heat and water down the box office, and they are all suddenly deep-dyed Republicans who had an unfortunate lapse of memory. They heat the soapbox into stockshares, and holler they been framed.

No More Tiresome Trips to the Library

your specs on, the Bookmobile will be out in your area soon. That's straight from a high bookworm. .

> ob IT'S A SHORT HOP from a vegetable garden in Marion County to New York City. Thirty-five youthful vegetable judges of Ben Davis High School have that in mind, too. That's why it’s so easy for Dwight Cottingham, agricultural teacher and 4-H leader, to whip his kids to a fever pitch for the big judging contest at Purdue University Oct. 11, The first and second-place teams of that cone test get to go to the New York judgefest. Mr. Cottingham has one team already booked for New York. By winning the state championship at the State Fair, Vegetable Judges George Hadley, Ruth Ann Schuh and Chester Freeland are automatically eligible for the trip. They can't conipete at Purdue. Phillip Paul and Dwight Abbott, also proteges of Mr. Cottingham’s, have a trip to New York assured because of high individual ratings. Dwight, son of Horace Abbott, Marion County agricultural agent, will make his second junket East. This year, out of a possible 1000 points, Dwight accumulated 958. Hit those vegetable stands hard, kids. oS ob SIGHTS AND SOUNDS: There was plenty of sound around the apartment last night. A tube of Gleem arrived through the mail. It was a sample. GLEEM-—sheen, lustre cream . . . I needed a shampoo and hot diggety keen. Gleem is a toothpaste. Doesn't make a very good lather . . . Inspector Ralph Bader’'s wife brought their 8-week-old: daughter to the police station to see where Daddy works. If she follows in the Bader footsteps, she'll join the force like Daddy and Granddaddy. And probably work out of the same ancient station. Hope she took a good look . i. Ah, politics. Saw a rabid Stevenson fan pin three buttons on a congenial listener. When the worker left, the button-bedecked man removed the buttons and put them in his pocket. "One way of getting these things out of circulation,” laughed the Ike supporter. Did you know the heart of the Sikorsky helicopter, which has been doing a terrific job in Korea, is made in Indianapolis? The casting which holds the main transmission is the product of Electric Steel Castings Co.

It Takes A Lot of 8 To Run Campaign

HOW IS the money raised? “In the old days a few people financed both the Republican and Democratic parties,” he declared. “Now each contributorvis liriited to $5000 to any one fund.” Mr. Stuart, who has controlled the purse strings three years, favors a policy of getting as many contributors as possible. “I'd rather have 10 people contribute $10 each than one man $100,” he said. “This means greater interest in the party.” Why do people contribute? “I contribute because 1 want to see Republicans elected,” Mr. Stuart replied. How does the Republican party guard against undesirable contributions or ones from people who will later expect special favors? “All the money goes into a general fund,” he answered. “I don’t know which candidate gets the money I contribute, I just know it goes to a Republican. Wo we “WE GUARD against unwelcome contributions by requiring that every contribution carry the name of the donor. Most of our contributions are by check. Where contributions are in cash we require that the contributor be identified.” The fund raising organization parallels the party's political setup. Each state has a finance chairman. Operating under the state chairman are county chairmen and some states extend their @ganization down to the community level. Regular contributors send in their money pretty much on a schedule, Mr. Stuart said, but unusual events, such as the response to Sen. Nixon's speech, brings in money from persons who don't normally contribute, The quotas are based on wealth and popula-

tion of the various states.

Thus New York, California, Pennsylvania and Illinois are expected to raise the biggest share of the GOP fund. In addition to these funds, individual candidates receive contributions. These, however, are handled by the candidates themselves. -

Those ‘Stupid’ Pinkos Just a Bit Wearyin’®

communism presented a certain nobility. of mind and a subtle attraction as the savior of the world, I offer one hard fact. I went to the University of North Carolina from 1931 to 1835. That was the greatest broad period of desperate depression. That was the period at which communism as a fad in this country thrived most heartily. That was a strictly bum time, At no time was I tempted to be a communist, although UNC was redder than Santy Claus’ drawers. Very few of the people I knew on ihe campus—especially the ones with shaves and clean shirts—embraced communism or any offshoot of same. Some, a few, dabbled. They mostly dropped it fast. But the majority scorned mass rule of anything, and are suitably equipped with mortgages and suburban homes today. oe oo oe THIS WAS the period of great temptation, and of great justification for straying. This was when communism looked better and smelled cleaner than ever before or since. But the majority of the kids—young, dumb, unsophisticated countw kids—spurned it. And in the face of organized blandishment, too. Which is why I got no time for the fashionable ex-pinks who now hit the sawdust trail and holler for forgiveness, pleading ighorance on the way. It isn’t that they didn’t know it was loaded. They just didn’t know it was going to backfire, and hit them in the hip. Where they keep their filthy, fascist, capitalistic dough.

ian prince of Sanseviero. Occasionally they do bloom. But the occurrence is rare enough to make it quite an event. They are popular as house plants because they thrive under so much neglact. They are also good subjeéts for rooms that have little light. And if you keep the leaves clean {wash them with soap and water occasionally) their marbled green is lovely. You might also try the dwarf and variegated kinds. They are just as durable. Another common name for this plant is bowstring hemp. ~ In its native tropics it is important for the fiber it yields, You can propagate sansevierias easily by cutting leaves into pieces and sticking them in sand. Heavy soil is most to their liking.

POLITICAL PRIMER—

Candidates For The

By IRVING LEIBOWITZ IN THE old days, people used to visit the Statehouse when the legislature was in session ‘‘to see the circus.” Some days in the past the Indiana General Assembly rivaled the Mardi Gras in New Orleans for sheer merrymaking, parties and entertainment. Of course, the lawmakers sometimes got around to passing laws. But sit was one legislator’'s proud boast he had never let a law interfere with his fun. To many of .them-—farmers, store keepers, small town lawvers and doctors—the session was a grand time to cut loose in the big ‘city. . . . Something like a convention of volunteer firemen,

# ¥ » IT IS TO the credit of some very able and distinguished statesman that any decent laws were passed at all. Then, as now, various pressure groups were out to sabotage existing laws or make new ones favorable to themselves. Lobbyists in the old days used parties, favors and it is said outright bribes to accomplish their purposes. The lobbyists of this generation are more subtle—and some are more demanding.
