ft 7 Don't Seem fo Be Able to Control Myself HOMESPUN 10 THE INOIAKAPOLIS NEWS Wednesday, October 2, 1957 Editorials France Could Be Great that the. government will go on "as usual" whatever happens in Paris. Many fail to realize that "as usual" is a povverlessness of decision which is rendering France impotent in world diplomacy and in Western defensive arrangements as well as in making it incapable of dealing with fiscal problems at home. This cannot go on forever without some kind of drastic and ptinful upheaval in which all the free world, including the United States, might be adversely affected. A France so weakened and divided fell easy prey "fo Nazi conquest.

A France so weakened and divided might also fall easy prey to Communist conquest. In times past, the hour was darkest, the national spirit rallied to produce a Valmy, a Marne and the indomitable leadership of a Clemenceau. France today is small when It might be great, in the French tradition of greatness. Americans, friends of France, should still have faith in such a revival. i Km i i it 7 irxT if i wt.

I Hi A Another French government has foundered in a financial crisis which has its roots in the Algerian con-flict. The Assembly's no-confidenc vote on Premier Bourges-Maunoury'n plan for a little self-government for the Algerians reflected also a growing unrest about worsened economic conditions at home. The previous cabinet of Premier Mollet was dumped under much the same circumstances. So-called austerity measures to curb inflation and equalize taxes have proved as half-hearted as the whole series of rejected Algerian As France goes again into a governmental vacuum, and while the splinter politicians go about reshuffling the same old deck that has seen 18 premiers since World War II, more than the bitter war in Algeria darkens the national scene. Powerful labor unions are making threats to strike.

It will come as a surprise to him to learn that this city has slightly more off-street parking spaces per square mile in the central business district than are designated for communities of up to 1 million population by the Park- ing Guide for Cities published by the Bureau of Public Roads, This fact has caused a panel of experts from the Urban Land Institute to regard the Indianapolis parking problem in a favorable light. A similar group from the Urban Land Institute was here in 1948 and observed at that time that there was a need parking spaces in the central district. Indianapolis has made excellent progress on the parking problem solution since that "time and has far surpassed the 20.000 set by the experts. But this does not mean that we should sit down and pat ourselves on the b'ack.

A combination of private enterprise and municipal assistance through the Off-Street Parking Authority has been responsible for the No, No, Mustn't America still is paying more than a third of United Nations expenses. In the current session of the General Assembly, our government is making the modest request that our share be reduced from 33.3 to a flat 30 of the total. This is only fair in view of the fact that U.N. membership has grown and that the new member nations should assume financial shares in proportion to their privi- leges. Basically, however, the United States share should be much less than 30.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR High Interest Rates Are No Solution, Reader Says To the Editor of The News: When Dwight Eisenhower became president of the United States his administration inherited a vast backlog of mass purchasing power built up under previous administrations.

It was not necessary for him to do anything, and indeed he has done nothing, to enhance this mass purchasing power or to safeguard it, while he has reaped a generous degree of glory that goes with a condition of apparent prosperity.

As we drive along the highways and into the hill country these lazy autumn days, we can see a blue haze on the far horizon, the rich, ripe tint of the cornfields, and the charm of the goldenrod. And we note an autumnal sadness creeping into the scenic beauty of the landscape. October, the month of changing moods and lazy days; highlighting the finest season of all for those who really love the out-of-doors, and the air tinged with that pungent scent of crisp, aromatic leaves.

The warm sun beats down upon the hillsides, and the brown fields stretch away with sober, white-faced cattle grazing in contentment. Corn shocks gleam amid the gold of ripening pumpkins, wild grapes are hanging purple on the vines, hickory nuts are falling, and persimmon trees are loaded with fruit, hut hanging on tightly, waiting for Jack Frost to bring them down. So I'm ending my reverie with thil little verse; The Last Leaf 'Tit the last leaf of autumn Left hanging alone, All of its lovely companions Are withered and gone; 1 Not one of its kindred, Not one now is nigh, To share in the frolic When the wind pastes by.

Saving face is a form of thrift that everybody has. News): Mr.

President, in your simplified explanation of tbe way in which the federal government would get into this school matter, you ended with th U.S, marshal getting an order to enforce the court's order. "Do I understand, sir, that at. that point it becomes the responsibility of the federal government to see that has the power, to do that?" "The President: Well, the federal judge, of course, is a federal officer in the judiciary branch, "Now, I assume that if that marshal is not able to carry it out by himself, he has got the right" to deputize any number of deputy marshals to help him carry it out. I really don't know what the next step is. "1 do know this: In a place of general disorder, the federal government is not allowed to go into any state unless called ur-on by the governor, who must show that the governor is unabln with the means at his disposal to preserve order.

"I BELIEVE it is called a posse comi-tatus act and I am now going back to my staff school of 1925 of 1882, and that is the thing that keeps th federal government from just going around where it pleases to carry out police duties."

(A 1 increase in interest rate for a loan on a moderate home extending over a 20-year period can add $1,000 to $2,000 to the cost of the home.) So the inflation spiral goes on and on. One result of the increase in prime interest rates (a calculated result), is a relatively drastic decrease in the prices of common stocks in which many people have savings invested. This gives an illusion of deflation, but it is an artificially created opportunity for those with money to invest to get something cheap at the expense of those who had their money invested.

What the administration hascome up" with is not a cure for inflation, but a neat scheme to transfer wealth from the masses to the classes, a sure method to deplete the mass purchasing power and precipitate a depression. It is increasingly apparent that the Republican high command did not choose Eisenhower because of what he knows, but because they knew he would do anything they wanted him to 'do. EARL L.

All that has been done to secure good relations in these foreign nations has been destroyed overnight, and again and again our ears will be taunted with these descriptions in the United Nations. We, as a' people, have paid a dear-price, and the Republican administration is paying an awful cost for the Negro vote in this country. Another picture is that of invasion by paratroopers of a great state now reduced to subject territory. The governor, stripped of his power as commander of the state guard, was made as helpless as a town constable. AV'o need- not go into the pros-awl- cons of this or that.

That's what life is made of, you know!" By Back Patting increase in parking spaces. However, there will be a constantly developing need for more as this community continues its vigorous growth. Recommendations of the ULI panel must be borne in mind. The group, recognizing that parking and traffic congestion are interrelated, suggested that curb parking be eliminated in the downtown area during the daytime. Such an innovation would do much to ease congestion on downtown streets.

At the same time it would throw a huge new load on off-street parking facilities. It is to be expected that new government and private office buildings to be constructed in the downtown area will be provided with ample parkin? space for employees because otherwise parking facilities will be loaded far beyond their capacity, Even though current parking facilities are considered ample a conclusion open to question they won't be within a comparac tively short time. The Off-Street Parking Authority and private enterprise must be ready with a program to keep abreast of the rising tide of automobiles. Mention That votes privileged under the charter. That recalls the gross blunder at the U.N.

afraid even to mention the subject? was just young Jacob Emrich in those days, was an industrious chap. He must have been, because immediately upon marryfhg Miss Phoebe J.Adams in 1 861. he bought five acres of land at the northeast corner of what later became W. 16th Street and U.S. 52.

There was a toll house on the ground. This toll house formed the nucleus for the new house which Jacob built a big, two-story house with gables and porches. Jacob did black-smithing, repaired wagons, and raised fruit and vegetables on his acreage. Then in 1880 he was made justice, of the peace. Holding this office for many years, it was natural that he became known as Judge Emrich.

For some time he carried on his official duties in the parlor of theXrnrich home. Then, anxious to obtain more quiet and privacy than his seven children permitted, the judge built a two-room office and courtroom on the grounds. Some years ago, when the old house was moved during the widening of U.S. 52, the cement steps to the J. P.

court went along. They are still in use today at granddaughter Eva Grepke's home with the date of 1908 carved upon the surface. BESIDES THE office and courtroom of the justice of the peace, Emrichsville boasted a blacksmith shop, a grocery and a saloon. The proprietors were all Emrichs, all twigs of the family tree. But, alas, no ore succeeded in achieving a post office.

However, the clan of Emrich is so vast that even yet they may see that their village achieves mention in Indianapolis' memorabilia. If each descendant would set down individual reminiscences of his prominent ancestor, Emrichsville and its founder could develop into quite a volume. One son of Judge Em-rich's, Clarence Emrich, now deceased, has 100 descendants. For Want of a Post Office, an Indiana Town Was 'Lost' 'A Terrible Mistake' th friitur Th Nnn: Recently America has seen two ugly, pictures one of a Negro man being assaulted by a mob. Supposedly, he had asked for it as he had escorted into a white school, over the protest of the mob, a group of Negro students.

The other was that of a white man with blood streaming down his face after he had been struck by a paratrooper. Supposedly, also, he had asked for it because he was a member of that mob who tried to grapple for the gun of the soldier. Other men were driven like cattle and threatened with bayonets. These two pictures will be shown in both Europe and Asia and in the To be sure, industry has raised wages in varying degrees, for which he has not been reluctant to accept a degree of credit, while at the same time casting aspersions that wage increases are the principal, if not the sole, cause of our inflation. Now it will be remembered that, it was his avowed intent, an intent which has now been activated, to discard many of the controls and safeguards which were designed to prevent the spiraling of the cost of living, and to rely instead on voluntary- self-restraint within the business community to keep prices in check.

As a result, the incentive for increasingly efficient -production has been removed. The tendency is to offset the entire cost of higher wages the easy way by raising prices. And labor, knowing that this is being -done, sees no reason why it should make an effort to produce more efficiently and economically. So the inflation spiral goes on and on. UNDER PRESSURE to produce some semblance of a remedy, the Eisenhower administration has offered higher interest rates as the solution.

This is supposed to slow down inflation by making credit more costly, thereby discouraging its excessive use. At the same time it makes the lending business more attractive and more money becomes available for loans, and the people are encouraged to borrow more, at the higher rates, of course, which increase their cost of living. So the inflation spiral goes on and on. Veterans' housing loans are discontinued because, Mr. Eisenhower says, the low interest rates are inflationary.

So the veteran pays more interest for Think It Through By E. F. Hutton IN THIS hot-rod age the old proverbs are forgotten even as, "Don't drive a free horse to death" or "The last straw breaks the camel's back." To illustrate: For the first time our social security system is now paying out more than it is taking in. It is doing so years before the "experts" thought this possible. At the same time, there are a hundred bills in Congress to increase the payout, by adding more and bigger benefits.

A wise man would coat by your cloth." Mr. Hutton say, "Cut your One of these bills, endorsed by the AFL-CIO Executive Council, would increase old-age, survivors and disability benefits by 10 and add costs of hospital, nursing and surgical treatment. If enacted, this will be the fourth increase in benefits since the system started. The bill proposes to increase the tax on workers and employers by one-half of one percent, and the taxable earnings from $4,200 to $8,000 a year. But all other taxes are going up, as well as federal, state, corporate and personal debt.

A "cushion" is mentioned of $22 billion. But there is no money in it. The billions have been spent all over the globe, The cushion is nothing hut a promissory note to be paid if ever only out of still more taxes. Neighbor, look before you leap! fan)1 TODAY IN WASHINGTON Cited Against Troop Use By Myrtie Barker FOUND ONE VILLAGE the village of Emrichsville. Recently this little corner was bemoaning the loss of this early settle ment.

It seemed logical that there had been a village. With an Emrichsville bridge, there must have been an Emrichsville. A perusal of historic records, however, failed to uncover a town. That's when we confessed our bewilderment. Immediately thereafter, kind readers came to Miss Barker the rescue.

By phone and by letter, they answered the query of Emrichsville. FIRST CAME Mrs. Emrich, 5042 Mecca, who explained that the founder of Emrichsville had been her husband's grandfather. Probably the one mistake the grandfather made was in not getting a post office for his village. Failing to have such federal recognition, tomes dealing with the past have simply failed to take the settlement into account.

Thus it is that only the memories of those now living can supply information concerning this community of early Indianapolis. From Mrs. Arthur Grepke, still another grandchild, we gleaned more data. Mrs. Grepke's mother, Mrs.

Esta Turner, 83, is the only living child of Judge Jacob A. Emrich, after whom Emrichsville was named. Mrs. Turner now lives at 2219 Lafayette Road, in the old home which her father built. However, to get back to the beginning the judge was born in 1838 in Bavaria, Germany, the son of a wagon maker.

The family came to the United States in ISM. Shortly thereafter they moved to Indianapolis. The judge, who fL" I 4 Ike's Words By David Lawrence PRESIDENT EISENHOWER'S own words of just a year ago confirm the statements made in this column that there is no authority to use federal troop merely to enforce court orders. The official transcript of a press conference heiy September 11, 1956, shows that, the President acknowledged then the restrictions imposed by the "posse comi-tatus act," which spe- rifirallv fnrhirk thp use of the U.S. Army Mr.

Lawrence to "execute the laws" of the United States unless "expressly authorized" by an act of Congress. HERE IS the text of those sections of the press conference transcript which related to the segregation controversy: (Edward P. Morgan, American Broadcasting Mr. President, I believe you said, sir, last week you had not been completely briefed on some of the aspects of state-federal responsibility in the segregation disputes. "One of the most recent incidents occurred yesterday and, according to the dispatches, 'Rangers' (state police) in the town of Texarkana did not allow two Negro students into the school in which they had registered.

"Would you consider that an incident in which the federal government had a responsibility, and, if not, can you give us an idea of what the formula is that would have to be followed for the government to intervene?" "THE PRESIDENT: Well, briefly," here is and this may be an oversimplification: A federal district court issues an order, let's say, about the entry of Negro students into a certain school. "Due to circumstances of the kind, violence of the kind you describe, they may they cannot enter. "Now, that court must decide whether it believes it someone is in contempt of that court. And at that point I think it is customary for the court to call in the' Justice Department to assist in bringing the evidence and thrashing the case out. And then, that having been done, if anyone is in contempt, I assume that it is the job of the U.S.

marshal to serve the warrants and to take the men, the offenders, to jail or to pay their fines or whatever happens." 'Q. (Martin S. Hayden, Detroit I.
