tuition provides, among other things,
that HE (the President shall have
power, by and with the advice and con-
sent of the Senate, to - appoint =
judges of the Supreme Court, and all
other officers of the United States whose
appointments are not herein otherwise
provided for, and which shall be estab-
nshed by law: But the Congress may by
law vest the appointment o. such in
barior officers, as they think proper, in
the President alone, in the courts of law,
or in the heads of departments" Under
this language Congress can, and as
matter of fact Congress has, vested the
appointment of certain inferior officers
in the District Courts and in the Circuit
Courts of Appeals as well as in the heads
of departments.
In the original draft of this letter
several decisions and authorities were
quoteds but the following quotation
would seem to conclude the matter. In
the case of Ex-Parte Hennen, 13 Peters,
the Supreme Court says this:
1T cannot, for a moment, be adj
mltted that 1t was the intention of the
Constitution that those offices which are
denominated inferior offices should be
held for life." 1.
The judges of the United States Dis
trict Courts and the judges of the.
United States Courts of Appeals, like
the supreme judges, hold Office for life
or during good behavior.
1t cannot be argued that Congress
could vest in the Attorney General, the
temporary head of department, the
appointment of United States district
judges and then in turn vest in the
United States District Courts the ap-
pointment Of judges of the United States
Circuit Courts of Appeals Or vice
versa.
It is not to be wondered at that law
men should fall into mistakes of this
kind since the lawyers themselves and
even the courts have been known to di-
vide touching the Interpretation of the
Constltutlon. T. p. GORE.

Caucus Discord

Scientists from the Bureau of
Standards have analyzed the sinister
sounds of discord that emerge all too
often from the big caucus room of
the House of Representatives and
have come to the conclusion that a
considerable portion of the noise, at
least, has it's origin in something
other than party disharmony. The
discovery tends to support the denials
OF administration leaders in the
House that the recent Democratic
harmony caucus was marred by off,
key contributions from discontented
party members.
The main trouble, it develops, is
not raucous caucuses but faulty
acoustics. The Government techni-
clans set up in the marble chamber
certain intricate sound-measuring
devices, shouted back and forth at
each other in true caucus manner
and lifted their eyebrows at the re-
suits. Each shout bounced and BOOM
eranged from wall to ceiling to floor
for thre full seconds, instead of dying
out peacefully within the approved
period of one and three-tenths Sec
onds. It is these repercussions, the
experts said, that cause most of the
misunderstanding and discord in
the caucus room.
A happy ending to all this grief is
in prospect, it was indicated. Sound
deadening plaster is planned for the
walls and ceiling and heavy drapes
for the large windows. To make the
caucuses even more pleasant, holes
will be bored in the ceiling to let the
cigar smoke out, and maybe the walls
will be painted cozy color, such as
pink, instead of the cold white which
now confronts the conferees. In
short, it will not be the fault of the
caucus room, but of it's occupants, if
nerve-shattering noises emanate in
the future from the Houses hall of
harmony.

saying that the community's repu-
tation is involved. The orchestra,
under the leadership of DR.. Hans
Kinder, has justified its existence
in terms Of service. Its effort has
made the District of Columbia a
happier place in which to live. Other
cities well might envy Washington
the possession of such an institution,
such a fellowship of artists. The
Capital certainly would be remiss to
its duty if the whole enterprise were
to be allowed to collapse for lack of
financial help. News Of its disap-
pearance, going out to the world,
would give the impression that Wash
ington does not care enough about
music to be willing to sacrifice for it.
The contrary, certainly, is the truth.
But to prove the fact, action els i'm
perative Immediately. Even the
smallest gift will be welcome. Every
body can and should do his part as
generously as may be possible. The
emergency is not myth, the danger
is not fairy tale.

A mockingbird which has whipped
both cat and squirrel in fair fight is
the latest addition to archaeological lore
in the District of Columbia.
From Manor Park comes the following:
'Dear Sir:
"A daily reader Of your column in The
Evening Star, was very much interested
in a letter addressed to you recently
The writer of this letter gave a very
interesting story of mockingbird which
they called Old Smarty
II enjoyed reading it very much, and
although don't know in what part of
the city they live, must take it upon
myself to answer that letter when they
claim that they have the champion
mockingbird of the District.
my story of this particular mocking-
bird, whom I have always called Pete,
is Identical as to the length of time,
actions ETC., only three years ago his
leg was broken or hung loose at the
joint for several months when a lot of
snow and ice was on the ground.
I'm spite of the fact that he hobbled
on one leg, he would fight all corners.
Last summer he brought his mate,
who arrived early, and in time they
built nest in the plum tree outside my
bedroom window. Well, they raised a
family. and as usual when fall came, they
departed for parts unknown, except this
old-timer, and this makes five years he
or one like him has been in our neigh
borhood.
Nov this part of the story is really
interesting
Last fall I happened to see, quite
early in the morning, commotion out
near the garage, and I noticed Mrs IS
blue Persian cat chasing large gray
squirrel, the first one have seen in our
immediate neighborhood, around the ga
rage and up the black walnut tree beside
the fence.
"The squirrel had a walnut in his
mouth as he perched on a limb about
10 feet from the ground. Up near the
top of the tree, directly above the souir-
rel, sat a red cardinal and about 20 feet
from the tree, perched on telephone
pole, was Pete the mockingbird, watch
ing the squirrel.
"All of a sudden the mockingbird and
the cardinal attacked the squirrel, knock
ing him from the limb of the tree to the
ground, causing him to lose the nut he
held, and apparently to be very much
confused.
"He stayed few minutes at the base
of the tree and then disappeared and I
haven't seen him since.
"The mockingbird flew up on the
wire again, looking around to see what
else was handy to attack, when over in
the next yard, sitting on the concrete
walk, was the same Persian cat who had
chased the squirrel around the garage
looking quite amused at things in general
Il was still interestese to see what
woald happen when again Pete flew down
on top of the fence and, with a quick
dive, drove right into the face of the
cat, knocking her over. and she became
so frightened she ran for the bushes.
Nov I think this is most unusual
thing for bird to do, and it all hap

Incidents

While simultaneous denials are
forthcoming in Paris and Rome of an
alleged -Libyan border clash
with resultant casualties among both
French and Italian troops, there are
clearly the makings of conflict in
Northeastern Africa. It is not un-
reasonable to fear that the calm
officially asserted to be prevailing
there is of the ominous sort that
often precedes the storm. Certainly
military preparations by both the
French and the Italians suggest that
each government emissions at least
the imminent peril of armed trouble.
At Algiers General Nogues, supreme
commander of French defense forces
in North Africa, has called an ex-
traordinary staff conference to con-
slider reinforcement of the Tunisian
garrisons with troops from Morocco
and Algeria. Perhaps Paris seeks
thus to counter the arrival in Libya
OF Marshal Badoglio, chief of the
italian general staff, on an obvious
accommodating mission.
With French and Italians alike
girding their loins in the area on
which MusSolini has avowed designs,
provocative border incidents are al
most inevitable. Governments seeking
pretexts for aggression are expert in
magnifying an incident" into a casus
belli. Japan's invasion of Manchuria
set in after an incident" that grew
out of the destruction of a railroad
bridge. Japan began her undeclared
war with China over what Toxic
continues officially 10 term the
North China incident" which grew
out of supposedly unintended mid
night skirmish between Chinese and
japanese troops. Italy's conquest of
Ethiopia had its inception over an
oStensible frontier dispute.
The colonial region in which
Italian borders march con-
tiguously is obviously a powder bar
rel waiting only for a spark to set it
ablaze. Many things suggest that the
explosion is timed for the ending of
the Spanish war Mussolini told
Franco yesterday that Italian troops
are at the Insurgent leaders disposal
until final victory" If, in that hour,
II Duce should present a bill for
services rendered, calling for pay
ment in terms of territorial or polit-
ical concessions in the Mediter-
ranean, or in Spanish Morocco,
France, backed by Britain, will object.
Realizing this and with Munich as
model, Mussolini may be maneuver-
ing in Africa as an cor else" prelude
to an adjustment of the Italian
account with Insurgent Spain. That
the Fascists are ready to underwrite
final victory" for Franco without
getting theirs" is unthinkable. But
when the French reoccupied that
strip Of Somaliland adjacent to
Djibouti last week, they signaled to
Rome that the days of taking things
lying down are gone.
