Selected Poem
The Second Legend of the Blue-Eyed Indian
ALEB THE JEEBEE

The Second Legend Of the Blue-Eyed Indian
George Edward Tingley. of Hamden, In the
New Haven Journal Sourrter)
I have told we the tale of that blue-eyed girl
Some time ago-of the Lantern Hill?
But have we heard how she'd hul and whirl
And twir and splash and trip and spill?
Traps twas her feet p'raps twas her head.
tBut wouldn't be meet to enjoy what said)
SO I'll tell We the tale what I've read.
The trippingest stumblingest gal on this earth
Was this injun gal, and a menace and dearth
To her poor native cousins, NarTangansett and
Pequot
Who could sit for ever but stand for a lot
Cause this blue-eyed injun or Aleb the Jeebee
Was a rip-snortin terror in any mans teepee
And when she would stumble on anyones ground,
He would sadly look numb and Just look around
At his country around. destroyed and forlorn,
And gaze at his Ratchet Aleb trpped through,
And wonder just what the next county would do.
All well. it's too late: the damage is done.
Nor is there duplicate under the sun.
We call 1t New England and are fain to confess
Twas Aleb the Jeebee who made all the mess
so that's why our lands SO torn and uneven
Due to Aleb the Jeebees comm or leavin'.
Why Yankee tolls so hard and complete,
Cause our Blue-eyed Injun wouldn't pick up her
feet

to All members Of the staff, which
said:
"GAEC Is 10 broad in its rami-
ficatiOns that our Thoughts ana
our actions are more Or less o.
uublic concern Our great
est assets Is goodwill.
Therefore he urged all ms SUD
Ordinates to cultivate goodwin by
answering letters courteously' Dy
making all contacts personally,
since "every individual. however
unreasonable, Is = circle Of m
fIuence."
Acute Pain
In view of this, imagine the
embarrassment Of Alfred Pritch-
ard Sloan over the fact that the
present strike has caused more
dissension, more ill-will, more dis
comfort than anything in the his
tory of General Motors. No won
der that at times Mr.. Sloan Wrings
his hands and says:
"Why should be bothered
with all this I'm worth $780,
100000 in my own right. MY
doctor tells me it's suicide to
work like this. / should have
quit long ago"
Middle-Of- Road
Sloan has never been known TO
say anything progressive or pro-
labor. And yet he Is not the
boiled reactionary. He Is a
typical man Of ability who has
made good, and doesn't want to
do anything to jeopardtze his
position. Particularly he doesn't
want to quarrel with the powers
that be-in this case the duPonts.
He was a member Of the NRA
Industrial Advisory Board, and IN
Joint session with the NRA La
Dor Advisory Board, Sloan used to
sit side by side with John l..
Lewis. They had weekly dinners
together and spent whole evenings
chatting.
At that time Sloan made a
point of being regular fellow"
He was not particularly anti
labor, was one Of the inside work
ers for the automobile code-al-
though its trick merit clause"
showed that the duPonts were not
yielding toe much to labor.
filters
Today Sloan sometimes forgets
his reputation for mildness Of
manner and is capable Of banging
on tables and using herman cuss-
words. Occasionally he gives the
impression of being riled and
nervous, almost in a state OF jit-
tiers.
This is not the Sloan his sub
ordinates always have known.
Among them his reputation has
been: "The man who never
gives orders"
Once q young executive Of
fered q rather revolutionary
suggestion, prefacing it with the
remark: II suppose you will
bawl me out for this"
Replied Sloan: ibid you ever
hear me bawl anyone 0ut?"
But today Sloan shakes his fist
and launches into the most vitu
perative language at the mere
mention of the man beside whom,
in MIRA days, he once sat and
held friendly conversations.
