No. he said. Block's warehouse isn't manned by Chinese. The sales slip is the type used by the home furnishing department- The copy has a space for instructions to the warehouse and delivery service, such as "Leave at first house south." "Please wrap as a gift," etc. To avoid having these instruction appear on the customer's carbon copy, the space beneath is covered with a design the same color as the carbon paper.

Terry MeConnell, the man who buyt the blank forms for Block's, sayt the cnpipany that makes them uses two types, one Chinese rtin. the Cher a rfesijrn cf asterisks. The asterisks are best for blocking out typewriting, but not longhand. Henry Reinke of the Moore Business Forms, which prints the blanks, says the Chinese characters don't spell any particular message. They're just used to block out the carbon marks because they have lots of curlicues, which blend in with the writing to be blocked out.

Vell, live and learn! Something new every day! THIRTEEN YEARS flat on his back and still cheerful! That's Armin (Bud) Johnson. Mr. Johnson, a victim of arthritis, lives at 1116 North Capitol, Apartment 31A. He went to bed Thanksgiving day 13 years ago, and hasn't been out of It since. Although he's perfectly helpless even has to be fed he's always thinking about others.

And he has his wife write let-teis for him to cheer up others who are ill. He'll observe his 45th (or 46th) birthday Thursday. Before his illness Mr. Johnson worked for the Velvet Ice Cream Company and later for the Nehi Beverage Company. Happy birthday.

Bud! One of those "When a Feller Needs a Friend'" cartoons is suggested by the sight of the youngsters trying to get up to Block's window to see the Christmas marionettes. Their view is blocked bv adults. The first couple of feet outside the window ought to be roped off for children. A CERTAIN businessman thinks he't run Into the heights of something or other. A young man in Eloomington long-distanced to ask the businessman's secretary to attend the Son.ia Henie show with him last week.

She said shed go. So he called back and got the businessman on the line. "Say, your secretary said she'd go to the Henie show with me," he said. "How about you getting the tickets for me?" He got the tickets. From Haelton comes the news that Mis.

Charles A. Fithlan entertained her mother, Mrs. W. A. Skelton, New burgh, last week with strawberries fleshly picked out of her garden.

The berries persisled until Thanksgiving Day. And in Rockport, Mrs. R. Quisenberry reports a giant castor bean plant, or tree, that's reached a height of IS feet, lis trunk is five Inches in diameter. Might be a record.

Actual aitl larkea Harrison in connection with an espionage investigation, can be deported immediately to Germany, the Department of Justice ruled jesterday at Washington. The department, however. Informed The Indianapolis Star Washington Bureau that no action will be taken until investigation of a new phase of the Bauer case is completed in the next three days.

THE Jl'STICE Department also ruled that Bauer, even though still a member of the Army, has access to the court throujjh habeas corpus procedure, and Joseph T. Ma7elin, attorney employed by Mrs. Wilma Bauer, wife of Sgt. Bauer, said last night that he is contemplating court action. The fact that Bauer swore allegiance to Germany when he was inducted into the German army in 1911 automatically canceled the American citizenship he acquired in 19.15, live years after coming here from his native country, the Justice Department ruled lt'added that even though Bauer admitted to the FBI on hi reentry into this country at New York in 1941 that he had been trained in the Nazi espionage school In Berlin and had been sent here as a spy, he ran be deported without a revocation hearing on his citizenship.

RATER, who lived in Indianapolis after coming to this country, enlisted in the Army on his return from the Germany espionage school. He was stationed at Fort Harrison in the Signal Corps as post photographer and his wife. THERE WAS A crowd at the cigar counter in Hook's Ohio and Pennsylvania. One man kept backing off every time the clerk started to wait on him. Finally, after all the other customers had been taken care of, he timidly approached the tobacco clerk and furtively asked: "Got any shotgun shells?" There are all torts of shortages rolling pins, shotgun shells, etc.

says Harry May, but none to compare with the shortage of toy train the kind you wind. Mr. May promised his 4-year-old son such a train for Christmas as a reward for being good, but it's beginning to look as though the youngster might as well quit being good. No wonder we've been seeing a lot of Army uniforms around here lately, all with the honorable discharge emblem. A note from Camp Atterbury sayt the Atterbury separation center had released more than servicemen through last Saturday 48.870 of them this month.

And a large percentage of them come through here on their way home. MRS. F. SCHATZ, 828 Edward, received a delivery from Block's the other day and was puzzled by the- delivery slip. Besides the usual data store name, salesman's number, name and address of the purchaser, etc.

MEANTIME, THE DEER stood there, broad-side to Dick and thinking: "One thing 1 like about being a buck is that you meet so many Interesting cafe proprietors." And eventually Dick recalled that that thing he had been carrying around all day was a rifle.

As he raised it to his shoulder, he was surprised to notice it was oscillating to that it was virtually pointing In all directions at once. Finally, he recalled that there were hullett In the magazine and, sure enough, an Investigation revealed that down near the stock was a little gadget called a trigger. Dick's shootin' finger was fluttering like a reed in a gale, but it found the trigger and et It off. The resulting fusillade awakened the echoes of the brooding woods and the clamor left the deer transfixed, so that in due time a slug struck it abaft the shoulder and it fell to earth to achieve an inglorious destiny. as steaks and stews, which cannot even be paid for, under the law, at the Vienna.

Dick had felled the deer through the only technique he knew that of the juke-box number which, over and over again, goes like this: "Kiss me once and kiss me twice, and kisi me once again; it's been a long, long time." Except that Dick's version was: "I missed him once and missed him twice, and missed him once again, then took a long, long aim." MRS. II.

gypsy In the urban resident; in your house you roll along like a lilting little song, and you never have to worry over rent. You never shovel snow when it's 22 below; with an icy walk you never stage a bout; and you never think of coal as across the land you roll, nor worry o'er a furnace going out. You go north when it Is hot and south when It Is not you travel gaily on from shore to shore; and the jangling telephone never penetrates your zone, and collectors 1 never batter down your door. Here today, tomorrow gone, you don't have to mow the lawn, nor trim the shrubs, nor study garden plans, for the vegetables you eat can be grown beneath the seat, already sown and crown and packed In cans.

Dick brought back the venison, too.

Then it was whisked away to Kingan's to be divided and sub-dividod, and if I don't get a hunk of it I'm going gunnin' for P.ichard. It weighed 150 pounds and it had eight points.
