As Minister to Paraguay he appointed Indiana's Author Meredith Nicholson, 67. Member of the Hoosier State's famed literary group (George Ade, Booth Tarkington, the late George Barr McCutcheon, the late James Whitcomb Riley), Author Nicholson (The House of a Thousand Candles, The Port of Missing Men) began in politics by fighting the Ku Klux Klan. He was elected Indianapolis city councilman, worked hard for a city manager plan. Though passionately fond of oratory, he has been...
