Mccarthy. Virginio Gayda, that
Mussolini will present his demands
"at some future date"
General Franco prances suddenly
into the picture. The dictators' un-
derlying purpose, 1t is now suggested,
is to force the French into recognizing
the belligerency OF the Spanish in
surgents. Franco, in return for a
move designed to hasten Loyalist sur
render, would grant Spanish air or
naval bases to the Fascist powers at
points which would put the Berlin
Rome partners in strategic position
in the Mediterranean. So demands
for Tunisia and Corsica may turn out
to be the "or else" pattern with which
the world became familiar at Munich.

Center Guard Rails

The heavy toll of accidents on the
Washington Baltimore boulevard
justifies almost any expedient in the
interest of safety.
That assumption undoubtedly is
the basis of the latest safety proposal
OF the Maryland State Roads Com
nission-to erect three-foot steel
guard rail in the center of the boule-
ward.
The plan is intended to keep drivers
on the right side of the road and pre-
vent head-on crashes. A center rail
already has been erected on an 300
foot section Of the Governor Ritchie
highway from Baltimore to Annapolis
and pronounced a success.
Officials concede the rail may be a
potential hazard to motorists who are
forced into it by sudden swerves Of
other cars, but believe this menace
OF the rail will result in more careful

Labor Bourd Rebuke

The National Labor Relations
Board has suffered its first reverse
at the hands of the Supreme Court,
but it does not appear that the set
back is of any great significance so
far as enforcement of the Wagner
Act is concerned. As a matter of
fact, the courts ruling, announced
in the Consolidated Edison Company
case, may well result in extending
rather than narrowing the powers
of the board.
The defeat for the board, if it
may be called that, came when the
justices decided the quasi-judicial
agency had acted improperly in
ordering the abrogation of a contract
between Consolidated Edison and a
group of its employees belonging to
an American Federation of Labor
union. The court made that ruling,
however, because the board had been
guilty of a procedural error in neg
lecting to notify the A. F. of L.
group that it's contract was in
jeopardy. 1t is possible that the alb
rogation of the contract might have
been approved by the court had
adequate notice been given.
But, pointing out that the act
gives no express authority to the
board to nullify such a contract,
Chief Justice Hughes went a step
further and added these significant
words: "We think that authority to
order affirmative action conferred
by the act) does not 60 so far as to
confer punitive jurisdiction ena-
bling the board to inflict upon the
employer any penalty it may choose
because he is engaged in unfair
labor practices, even though the
board may be of the opinion that the
policies of the act might be effectu-
ated by such an order" That Ian
guage, though vague, may we'll have
meant that the court was going as
far as the proprieties permitted in
warning the board to watch it's step
in imposing penalties not specifically
authorized by the Wagner Act.
The distinct victory for the board
came in the courts holding that
Consolidated Edison, operating wholly
in New York, but selling its products
to concerns engaged in interstate
commerce, was subject to the regula-
tory provisions of the Wagner Act.
In effect, that ruling extends the
authority OF the labor board to any
industrial concern of consequence in
the country, and comes close to
eliminating the interstate commerce
clause of the Constitution as barrier
to Federal regulation of industrial
relations.

driving. They point out that 1t is
better to damage car by sideswiping
a rail than to permit a condition to
continue which frequently leads to
serious and fatal crashes.
Obviously there is urgent need for
precautionary safety measures on the
Baltimore boulevard. 1t Is the most
heavily travelled road in the State
and the only four-lane route in
Maryland without some form of di-
vided traffic lanes. A center park
way, such as has been used on most
of the Governor Ritchie highway
and the magnificent Governor Nice
highway north of Baltimore, is the
most popular device employed to di-
vide traffic lanes. Other expedients
include curbs or humps"
Center rails no doubt will detract
from rather than add to the attrac-
tiveness of a highway, but If they
prove. as efficient as anticipated in
saving lives their use will be fully
justified.
The proposal to install them on the
boulevard may prove timely, as the
State Legislature, meeting next
month, Is due to consider an increase
in the present forty-f1ve- -mile-an-
hour speed limit. Higher speed on a
road.like the Baltimore boulevard al
most inevitably means more fatal
head-on crashes unless there is a
physical division of the traffic lanes.

Christmas Cumpuiqn

The annual Christmas campaign,
in which The Star, the Warner
Brothers theaters, the National
Broadcasting Company, the Metro
politan Police Department, the
Parent-Teacher Association and Fed
eral employees are cooperating,
already has achieved part of it's goal.
1t has helped to make the city con-
scious of the social significance of
the Yuletide season.
But Christmas always has been
an occasion for the manifestation
of fellowship. Washington Irving
summarized the traditiona. point Of
view when he said: "Tis the season
for kindling the fire of hospitality
in the hall, the genial fire of charity
in the heart"
Perhaps the only difference be-
tween Christmas in ancient times
and Christmas in its modern applica-
ton is that currently the privilege
of sharing with the less fortunate
has been more definitely democ-
ratified. Nowadays, one does not
need to be rich in order to partici-
pate in the happy business of making
others joyful.
For instance, the gift of new
toy or new garment or food or
even modest sums of money will
bring smile to the face of any poor
little child, yet the giver is not i'm
poverished by his generosity. On
Saturday morning, December II, no
less than seventeen Warner Brothers
theaters will show selected motion
pictures in aid of the campaign, and
the price of admission will be merely
new toy or new article of
clothing. Boys and girls especially
should wish to take advantage of
such an opportunity to help in the
good work. Their parents may do
their part by leaving contributions
at the Peoples Drug Stores-non-
perishable food as we'll as playthings
and wearing apparel
BY Christmas Eve real COM
munity feast should be assured.
That, in any case, is the hope and
the expectation of The Star and of
all the different agencies collabo-
rating.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles +. TrdcepeH.

The real fun of bird watching comes
In the watching, after ALL
Identification is interesting, and i'm
portant. but the real thing lies in the
watching. Sometimes we are inclined
to think that too much importance Is
put on this business of Identification.
All Of us who are interested in the birds
like to know their names, of course, but
there are great many other facets.
Knowing the name Of bird, or not
knowing it, doesn't change the living
creature in the least.
There he is before us, lively, colorful,
stepped in mystery and light.
1t Is up to us to admire and like him,
happy feathered vagabond, and not to
inquire too particularly into his name
ard address. If we know these, so much
the better, but there is such a thing as
putting too much stress on them.
y \
Any one with the interest, and good
book, can so steep himself or herself in
the lore of the feathered world that q
great deal of happiness and knowledge
can be amassed.
Wherefore our advice, the result of
several years of strictly amateur bird
watching, is to try to identify specimens,
but not to worry about it if one can't.
Birds are such f1ighty creatures, and
their coats are changing 50, from season
to season, that one would have to be q
trained ornithologist to be absolutely
sure. And one may wonder, even then.
The same birds, at different ages, also
have different colors. There is all the
difference in the world between the
plumage of youngsters, called the juvenal
plumage, and that of the adult bird
Most persons know that male and female
Of the species have entirely different
dress, but all do not realize just how
utterly different they can be. The male
may be clad in sky blue, whereas the
female is a plain little brown bird few
would suspect belonged to the same fam
lily. This is true of the male and female
indigo bird, sometimes seen hereabouts.
There is no reason why there should
not be a real bird study club here, and
it is to be hoped that some one forms
one.
In the meantime, let those interested
in birds 60 it alone, to the best of their
ability, and not worry too much because
they cannot name the creature. The
bird itself is, or at least ought to be,
enough.
If several members of family are in
terested in the subject, they are able
to help each other What one misses
another sees. The identity of given
bird is more surely arrived at, if there is
a community of interest at home.
Fortunately, interest in birds is seldom
confined to one member of family, as
gardening so often is. Most persons
like birds, and with little help come to
find them very intriguing to watch. Ma
ture does the rest.

The New Roosevelt

President Roosevelt is not bogey-
man. In so assuring undergraduates
of the University of North Carolina,
Mr.. Roosevelt took public cognizance
of many things which, he said, the
boys and girls have read about him
In the newspapers or heard about
him over the radio. He mentioned
allegations that he is "a consorter
with Communists, destroyer of the
: rich, breaker of ancient traditions;
that economic royaliStS, wicked utili-
ties and money changers were crea-
lures of his imagination; that he is
driving the Nation into bankruptcy
and into war
All of this is just bedtime story,
the students at Chapel Hill learned.
Mr.. Roosevelt presented himself to
them in an entirely different role.
According to this self-description, the
President is Exceedingly mild man.
nered," believer in peace at home
and abroad, and a champion of the
capitaliStic system. He denied he is
fond of "grilled millionaire" for
breakfast. He prefers eggs the
American Way-scrambled.
Somebody apparently has been do
ing Mr.. Roosevelt grave injustice
In linking the name of so mild-man-
nered peace-loving person to pri-
mary purges, court-packing schemes,
reorganization battles and splits in
the Democratic party. But almost
in the next breath Mr. Roosevelt ad-
mitted that he sometimes is COM
PEELED to resort to "epithets" in
carrying forward the banner of lib
eralism. Other statesmen, he de-
clared, have used far stronger
language against certain forms of
economic control"
Throughout his address the Presi-
dent seemed to be on the defensive.
The Roosevelt he sought to picture
was in striking contrast, indeed, to
the Roosevelt of N. r. A. cracking
down" days, of the "horseand-
buggy" press conference, of the re-
cent march through Georgia. and
Maryland. Things that have hap
pened since then may have some
thing to do with the change. One
of these was the November elections,
to which Mr. Roosevelt made a pass
ing reference in his speech. These
elections, he declared, do not mean
the death of liberalism in the United
States. When liberal forces are
''killed and buried" he asserted, they
have a way of coming to life with
more strength than they had before"
Those elections last November will
bring to Washington before long a
Congress with personality almost
as changed as Mr.. Roosevelt's. The
President has been accustomed to
dealing with Congresses for the most
part as mild-mannered and peace
loving as he pictures himself to be.
The new Congress, backed by fresh
mandate from the voters, is not
likely to be so docile as some of its
predecessors.

Guffey on Liberalism

Those New Dealers who would like
to see President Roosevelt elected for
a third term must have WINGED bit
when Senator Guffey, of Pennsyl-
vania, donned the shining armor of
liberalism and marched forth to
battle for their cause. If there is
any leader in the Democratic party
who would look more incongruous
in the role of plumed knight than
Senator Guffey, he has yet to make
his presence felt.
1t was in Pennsylvania, where the
Senator ruled as party boss, that
New Dealism reached it's lowest ebb.
The Democratic machine in that
State used the liberal principles
advocated by the President, as we'll
as some Of the more material party
assets, for purely selfish political
ends, with the result that the voters
returned to the Republican fold in
November. The outcome was a dual
defeat for Senator Guffey. He
teamed up with John L. Lewis and
the c. I. o. in the Democratic
primary, only to see his candidates
beaten, and was again on the losing
side in the general election.
AS matters now stand, Senator
Guffey is the lone remaining Demo-
crat holding a major office from
Pennsylvania, and he must seek re-
election in 1910. Consequently, there
are those who are wondering whether
the Pennsylvania Senator, in de-
manding third term for Roosevelt,
is not also thinking about another
term for himself. It may be that the
President, who has demonstrated
his vote-getting ability, could carry
Pennsylvania, as well as the State
ticket, in 1910, but that undertaking
will not be made any easier by the
support Of liberals like Senator
Guffey.

Dear Sir: Is there bird study club in
Washington? Or any way to really
study birds and know them in the Dis
trict of Columbia?
DAY after day find birds that puzzle
me, and even with glasses and bird
guide I still am at sea as to perfect
identity. Sincerely. M. K"
AS far as this column knows, there is
no formal bird study club in Washington
at this time.
The Audubon Society of the District
of Columbia has bird hikes in the spring,
and at one time maintained special
class for adults at one of the local
schools.
Bird classes are held regularly for
children in the schools, under the aus
pices of the society.
This seems to leave the adult friend Of
birds very much in the cold, in regard to
Identification and the like.
Study of bird life and botany naturally
60 hand in hand. The great Audubon
made plant life as much a part of his
famous plates as the very birds them
selves; each plate showed one species,
and some flower or tree.
Those who have access to these plates
should not pass up the flowers lightly.
but should regard them as essential.
Most of the birds are posed against ber-
ries and the like which they love to
eat
Such things are as much subject for
study as the eating and nesting habits.
All are part of great interest, but one
which sometimes is best pursued alone,
or at least with one or two companions.

There are always birds about whose
identity one will be at sea, perhaps.
This is mart of the snort
The way to do is to get good book,
and good pair of glasses, if possible,
and note down the essential features of
difference between the specimen seen
and other birds which most resemble it.
In this way, with bit of perseverance,
almost any one can identify almost any
bird, at least up to reasonable GER
tainty. That is about as we'll as most Of
us can do about most things, isn't it?
