not seen this great pleasure and
peril, the radio, mentioned.
1t would be like pulling teeth to
pull radios out Of pleasure cars, but
eventually the unnecessary risk will
be realized sufficiently to prohibit
them. They are dangerous mingled
with crossing bells, share the mind,
the hearing, the attention Of even
the most alert driver.
1t is hard to deprive children or
adults of innocent enjoyment. Skat-
ing in the street is an innocent i'm
pulse. So is listening to music in
your car; but the most sober, alert
driver is hampered by listening to
a radio, and if he doesn't, he won't
have one in his car. I think this
is also applicable to a bus load of
singing, shouting school youngsters.
Inside noise is bound to divert a
driver.
There must be some reason why
street cars have rot substituted ra-
dos for the little printed signs they
hang up by the motornlan.
If we didn't have so much music
with our driving, we might live to
have more music with our meals.

BEHIND HUEY

DERHAPs Huey Long has been getting too
L much publicity while the Kinghsh-
makers are not getting enough. These are not
the newspapers nor The hill bilHes nor the
minor politicians. They are, according to
Judge John C. Knox Of Pennsylvania. some
Of the big brethren Of business.
Speaking before the Harvard Alumni AS
ISOLATION, this dean of United States circuit
judges denounced the industrial and financial
Bourbons. their judicial sniping and BUSH
whacking," their attempts to bully the coun-
try into submission" 1t is these, whose
neglect of desperate millions Of their fellows
makes possible the leadership Of the Longs
ct al
F. "Wiu YOU tell me why big business, in the
light Of all that has happened. continues to
believe that it can bully the country into sub
mission?' he asked. That result is no longer
capable Of accomplishment.
ASK yourselves if the sins Of capitalism
have not made, and if they are not now max
ing, large contributions to the possibility that
Huey Long may run-and run well-for the
presidency Of the United States"

Do WE ADVANCE?

TRYING to figure out what the future is
= going to BIZ. like is always good clean fun,
and it IS especially attractive if you are more
or less dissatisfied with the present. And when
you are doing your figuring, you can hardly
do better than get a chemist to help you.
For an imaginative chemist can see things
that would stump Jules Verne or ar f. G.
Wells. He can show us a future that Is like
a magic wonderland; and-which is more to
the pOint-he can also persuade us that he
knows what he is talking about.
Thomas Midgley Jr. chairman of the board
of the American Chemical Society, took little
fier into the future at a recent convention of
chemists in New York. He foresaw some start
ling things.
century from now, he predicted the dis
covery of new sources of energy will have
made interplanetary travel possible. 1t will
also have revolutionized industry to such ex-
tent that two hours will be the maximum
length of the working day. Such maladies as
cancer. influenza, and epidemic diseases gen.
orally will be abolished.
This, he added, was only starter We
shall be raising chickens the size of pigs and
they will be laying eggs the size of footballs.
People won't go to war any more. because de-
fensive weapons will be strong enough to make
any offensive impossible.
Television will be perfected to such an ex-
tent that delegates to national conventions will
attend by staying right in their own homes
which ought to be break, in several ways.
All this adds up to something remarkably
like pipe dream But the odd thing about
it is that none of these predictions is impossi-
bic. A century from now Mr.. Midgley may
look like an exceedingly conservative and eau
tious prophet In the material world, the race
is able to do just about anything that it can
imagine.
And that emphasizes the strange new con-
dition under which the race is laboring these
days. Its greatest problems are no longer con-
nected with the struggle to master the physical
environment; they have to do with the in
tangibIes-things like economics, social organ
izations, and international relations.
We know, nowadays, that eventually we
shall abolish disease and hunger and all man
ner of scarcity, and that we can equip our
selves with almost any kind of mechanical
gadget that seems desirable. The big question
is what we are going to do with ourselves after
we make those advances.
Shall we learn how to get along together
so that they all make the life of the average
human being happier, freer and richer? Can
We adjust ourselves to an age in which the
only problem will be the problem of human
relationships?

COMPANY UNION REPORT

blessed by many employers as providing
~ the most appropriate form OF labor organ
ization under the American system. company
unions have made rapid gains in membership.
IN 1919 only 100000 workers belonged TO con-
pany unions. In 1882. there were 100000
members, and today there are about 100000.
Whether the company union becomes an
important factor in the American labor move
ment will depend. of course, upon its effective
ness in protecting workers rights and promot-
ing their interests. 1t is found wanting in
effectiveness in a disinterested study of indus
trial labor relations recently published by the
Twentieth Century Fund. Newton D. Baker.
Edward A. F1lene and Roscoe Pound are
among the trustees of the fund, but the con-
illusions are those OF the experts who made the
study.

handicapped by fear that they may be disc

INDIAN IN DANGER AGAIN

A MOTHER move to restore the spoils sys-
n tenn in the Indian Bureau seems to be
under way in Washington. A resolution has
been introduced in Congress to provide that
the superintendent OF the Five Civilized Tribes
in Oklahoma be appointed by the President
with Senate approval-thus making the post
senatorial patronage once again.
Should such resolution pass, one qualifica-
ton for the man named to this job, of course,
would be that he be a deserving Democrat"
And with this as an entering wedge, it prob
ably would not be long before most Of the
other key jobs in the Indian Bureau were
similarly filed by party hacks.
We have given the Indian raw deal in
this country for years. The least we can do
now is to see that the Indian Bureau is kept
on an efficient, non-political basis. Party
politicians should be forced to keep their
hands of.

THE CITY'S FAIRGROUNDS

ON June Is, Indianapolis will open 80 play
~ sites for the benefit Of children in all
parts Of the city.
The need for Fairgrounds this year is more
pronounced than ever and again the In
dianapolis park department will have the
responsibility Of seeing that the thousands of
children are given supervised instruction and
play.
one reason the need for proper playground
facilities is SO important this year is because
Of the traffic drive. Only by keeping children
confined in the Fairgrounds and occupying
their time with interesting games and activ-
tiles will this city be able to control the great
number of accidents that occur during the
school vacation.

CIVILIANS ARE NOT
GOOD FUND HANDLERS
By r. H. Stor

by ". h ShOucs
A man in uniform has a higher
sense of duty on the average in
handling public funds than do
civilians. During the World War I
was one of II officers who handled
all the secret communications of the
vice admiral at Brest, France. More
than one night when the messages
were few p have caught a bit of
sleep lying on small table with
lead-covered code books for a pillow
and my legs draped over the end
of the table.
On the night of Oct. 8, 1918, just
before the terms Of the ArmiStice
were unravelled from the most secret
cipher we ever handled during the
war I came upon an ordinary code
message. 1t was from a small French
town on the coast. A naval aviator
had gone duck hunting and had lost
his way in the marshes; he had
wired for assistance to his air sta
ton. This kind of message was so
rare that it stands out in my men,
DRY.
The other series of messages dur
ing days of the journey made by
President Wilson across the Atlantic
on his first trip to the Peace Confer
ence also stand out in my mind.
We had orders from the vice ad-
miral to see that all messages sent
out by the U. S. S. Pennsylvania
Flagship Of the Presidential convoy
were copied down by our wireless
operators. so, it happened that I
read these messages exchanged BY
some civilian on the George WASH
ington carrying the Presidents
party with his wife in Washington
The subject was renting an apart
ment in Washington. At least so
words were used in the messages to
and fro. At that time it was esti-
mated that it cost 81 a word to
handle wireless messages.
One thousand dollars (nearly the
amount Of my bonus) was used By
this civilian in the course Of his ne
gotiationS over the renting Of an
apartment.
These incidents illustrate my
doubt of the lasting character of a
business prosperity wherein public
funds in vast amounts are admins
tered by civilians.

The Bells Moan and GrOdn

What is preventing this reel
procity? The fact is that every
nation has dug itself in behind
trade barriers which its vested in
terestS can't permit to be removed.
England, alone, has been able to
restore some prosperity, by reci-
procity with her overseas donin-
ions. We have no such dOminionS.
What can the ordinary business
man and property owner expect
from the return to power of a
political faction that declares its
intention to pull the props Of goy-
eminent spending out from under
business for the particular purpose
of preventing further taxes on
great incomes, inheritanceS and
excess profits? What can be eX-
pected in view of world cOndi-
tons?
One must be very contemptu-
Gus toward the American people
to imagine they would again sub
NIT to the wrecking of insecure
businesses and properties that
must result if the Old Guard at
tempts to carry out its promises.
Little imagination is required to
foresee the strikes, riots and in
surrections that must follow. What
can we expect but violence, a reign
Of terror, and FaScism?
When FaScism comes, out goes
the free ballot. When the ballot
goes, out goes every human right
wrested from what H. G. Wells
calls that dumb resisting mass
the poor element among the
wealthy" since the Middle Ages.
When Fascism comes, in comes
war. Fascism offers no other So
luton for economic troubles. And

the rest of the outfit at which

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1935-05-03

BY George Gould Hine.
On Wednesday, our daily canned
editorial carried a headline much
more subdued in tone. The clang
and clash and roar suggested by
the headline: Business Numb
With Fear" died away and much
more restraint was evidenced in
the simple words: Threat to
American Business"
Watching these headlines from
day to day is like listening to bells,
as described by Edgar Allan Poe.
The ear distinctly tells how the
danger sinks and swellS by the
sinking or the swelling in the
anger of the bells" Take the old
reliable headline: Business on
Nervous Edge" Poe seemed to
have this in mind when he wrote:
Hear the loud alarum bells,
brazen bells; What a tale of ter
ror their turbulency tells"
Compare these headlines with
those when Mr.. Hoover was Presi-
dent. Poe had words for these,
too: What liquid ditty floats to
the turtle dove that listens while
she gloats."
While listening to "the melan-
choly menace of their tone" to-
day, the ordinary business man
and property owner could do no
better than 10 scratch into the
gold brick offered in these canned
editorials. They promise immedi-
ate prosperity if only the Old
Guard can get back in power.
On this point it is unnecessary
to accept the opinions of any
american who could be suspected
of private interest or political bias.
Take Mussolini, for instance. He
doesn't have to conceal the facts
for fear he will not be reelected.
In recent interview, reported in
Time, Mussolini stated his con-
YiceionS as follows:
If world prosperity is ever to
return, we must have international
economic and financial reci-
procity."

time demanding no eXorbitant out
lay from taxpayers.
Such a basis for the aid of needy
old men and women is eminently
fair and just.
Two years ago Indiana made a
start toward taking the fear Of the
poor house from the minds Of needy
old men and women. The enact
ment of President Roosevelt's pro-
gram will provide the opportunity
for this state to advance further
along the road of social welfare. A
special session of the legislature
should be called as soon as the
Presidents program is enacted, so
that Indiana can contribute its
share Of humanitarian progress.

ROOSEVELT SECURITY BILL
LIKENED TO EAGLES
BY Guy L. Woodruff

~ OuJ IL UVVNAuh
AS President Roosevelt's social Sc
curity program advances toward
enactment, it is evident that the
portion which deals with old-age
pensions follows closely the objec-
tive sought for more than a decade
by the Fraternal Order of Eagles.
At no time have the Eagles urged
a system impossible of attainment
or one which would raise false hopes
in the hearts Of the aged poor The
order today, as it has since 1921, ad-
vocates such aid Of the aged as is
consistent with humanitarian and
economic principles.
1t appears that the Federal gov
eminent will pay up to SIS month
to each person IS or older, on the
basis of each state matching dollar
for dollar the aid from the national
treasury. Thus, it would be possible
for Indiana or any other state to
pay $50 a month to such persons as
could qualify, a sum sufficient for
decent supp&t and at the same
