headed by the West Side Human

by Turner W. Ross, president of the
Human Relations Council, that he
would consult his partners and see
what could be done about the place

Natures Children
Sea Pens
(Order Pennatulacea)

opposite, lateral branches, giving the
feathery appearance of the quill
The polyps reside in separate apart
ments-inclosures, on the upper side
of the branches.
The stability of the branches is
due to spicules of lime that are
secreted by the animal. In the
group in which the sea pens are
classed the alcyonaria or halcyonoids
may be identified by their tentacles
and radial partitions. There are
always eight of them and the ten
tacles always have small but SYM
metrical branches or appendages.
Furthermore, the polyps in the
group, which also includes sea whips
and sea fans, as well as the sea pens,
are usually accompanied by tiny
zoolds which have no tentacles. The
hard secretions are elastic and horny.
as you find in the other polyps of
this group.
The sea pens seem to be always
ready to dine and open their mouths
eagerly as food moves toward them
with the motion of the water. When
not in action the pen curls up or
seems to settle into the form pic
tured here, but awakens at the
slightest touch that is unusual Then
every tentacle is alive and swaying.
When these corals are no longer
inhabited by the builders the struc-
cure, so easily removed from its
sandy foundation, is often washed
10 the beach. After a thorough
cleansing, for these many branch
lets have been occupied by living
tissue, and dead matter has an odor
that is very penetrating, you will
possess a very attractive sea pen.

Five manuscript poems by Robert
Frost have been given the Poetry
Room of the Library of Congress as
memorial to the late Miss Jean
Dean Cole, former head mistress of
Mount Vernon Seminary, it was an
nounced today.
The gift was made by "Optima," :"
student honor society at the SEM
mary, of which Mrs. George w.
Lloyd, present headmistress, and
Miss Agnes De Lano of the litera-
ture department of the seminary are
faculty members.
The gift is the first of its kind by
school group to the proposed ma
tional poetry shrine, it was ex-
planned by Joseph Auslander, in
charge of the Poetry Room at the
library.

are Tendencies Cancel" written in
ink and corrected; Locked Out, -
written in ink and corrected; "A
Soldier" written in ink and signed;
stopping by Woods on a Snowy
Evening" written in ink and signed,
and two stanzas of "A Boys WILL"

of the important American and Eng
lish poets and playwrights will be
exhibited. along with portraits,
photographs, notebooks, rough

Security Pay Worker
Increases Allowed

Project workers receiving the
security wage" of relief employment
are not affected by the pay "freez-
ing" provision of the Reorganization
Act, and consequently may get in
creases when advanced to higher
positions, under ruling by Acting
Controller General Elliott.
The question was raised in behalf
of project workers in the Office of
Education, transferred from the In
terror Department to the Federal
Security Agency by reorganization
The security administrator asked if
these persons could be given super
visory positions, in view of the law
holding transferred employees at their
present rates of pay during this fiscal
year.
Mr.. Elliott, giving approval, said
such workers are not to be classed
with regular employees.

Asks for Return of Old Time
White Wings.

To the Editor of The Star:
The complainant, an old resident, has
for years kept his front Government
lawn groomed to the kings perfection.
The grass and shrubs are neatly trimmed
and all to help make our fair city
more beautiful In past years the white
wing on our street helped the cause by
taking away the clippings and even
picked up paper on the grass.
Now the picture changes and the
streamlined white wing, with all but a
vacuum sweeper, arrives at pile of lawn
cuttings, scowls, mutters perfumed words,
gets under the shade of tree to prevent
a sun tan and waits for the boss man.
The boss man pulls up in his limousine,
hands out a typed notice informing the
offender to wrap up his cuttings, sweep
his gutter and carry the accumulation to
the rear alley for collection.
Let's have some good fashioned
white wings who are not fearful of
work. A revision is needed of the in
structions in accordance with Article
III, section /, so that it will no longer
become the duty of householder to
carry sweepings from a Government
owned front lawn through his private
home. IAN OLD-TIME RESIDENT"

under construction and authorized,
the Navy is well equipped to carry
out this mission, but in at least two
important categories it is still below
par. The retiring Chief of Naval
Operations specifically urged that
these deficiencies be rectified without
delay.
In the first place, Admiral Leahy
said, the Navy is undermanned de-
spite the recent increase in enlisted
strength to 10000 men. Secondly,
he stressed the Importance of starting
construction at an early date on all
naval bases recommended by the
Hepburn Board. This presumably
includes the Island of Guam, which
would become our most distant out
post in the Pacific.
With world conditions as unsettled
as they are, and particularly in view
of the growing menace to American
interests in the Far East, this country
can i'll afford to neglect any of the
essential requirements of a Navy
capable of performing the functions
outlined by Admiral Leahy. 1t may
be confidently expected that Con-
gress, when it again turns it's atten-
ton to naval affairs, will give most
careful consideration to the recon-
mendations in the Leahy report.

Fire Fighters

Inc volunteers who belong to the
Bethesda Fire Department have
turned out to be fighting firemen as
well as fire fighters. incorporation
OF group of them into a new unit
leads old-time Washingtonians to
picture return of the days when
rival fire companies, rushing to a
blaze, often fought each other first to
decide who should put out what was
left of the fire.
The difficulties at Bethesda are the
result of the appointment of Lieu
tenant A. j. Bargagni, retired men,
Der of the Washington Fire Depart
ment, as chief of a new nine-man
paid force. The Bethesda Fire Board,
which administers the finances of
the department, named Lieutenant
Bargagni despite the opposition of
some of the volunteers who wanted
the chief who has led them for sew
eral years to get the job.
Rumors that there would be diff
culties between the dissenting VOL
unteerS and the paid firemen when
the department was called into &C
ton have failed to materialize. The
dissenters have pledged their CO.
operation to the new chief. But the
fact that they have formed a new
corporation and are laying plans to
obtain a flrehouse and equipment
shows how bitterly they resent the
new regime.
From the publics standpoint, 1t
would be unfortunate if second fire
company were established in the Be-
thesda area based on resentment and
Jealousy of the first. Directly, or
indirectly, 1t would mean a new and
unnecessary financial burden. For
the new unit can hardly find enough
friends to build a firehouse and buy
equipment without appealing to the
public for contributions in an area
which already pays a fire tax toward
the support of the existing depart
ment. Financial obstacles, in this
instance, apparently are a safeguard
against the establishment of a new
and unnecessary fire department for
the public to support.

Naval Power

The American people on the whole
will heartily indorse the recommen-
dation of Admiral Leahy, retiring
Chief of Naval Operations, that the
Navy be built up to the point where
it will be sufficiently strong to pre-
vent any potential enemy from wag-
ing war on our territory.
Admiral Leahy apparently envis-
ages the sea arm as something more
than a first line of defense" In
his experienced judgment the Navy
should be capable in time of war of
seeking out and destroying a hostile
fleet on the high seas, thereby fore
stalling any threatened invasion of
this country. IF peace cannot be
preserved" he said in his last report
to the Secretary of the Navy, "our
broad naval strategy must be often
sive, and the United States Fleet
should engage and defeat the enemy
feet wherever it can be brought to
action"

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrdceWell.

As to how the squirrel got In the ga
rage in the first place:
Not satisfied with the feeding station,
1t had gone in to investigate large bag
Of sunf1ower seed which was leaning up
against the wall.
A cardinal there before him had
managed to peck hole in the bottom
corner through which the seeds spilled
over the concrete.
The squirrel found this entirely to his
liking.
Evidently there was more sheer fun
in eating this way, more adventure and,
more to the point, more sunflower seed
This was undiluted, whereas the mix
ture In the station was adulterated with
chick feed for the birds.
Evidently when the door had been
shut the squirrel had betaken himself
to the rafters and had remained quiet.
He was not used to being discovered,
and had sought fight above, instead of
darting out, as he should have done.
Around and around he must have
wandered, going to the windows, at first,
where he could see out, look into the
green world of his trees
How the squirrel soul must yearn for
trees!
They are to him all that earth and
Heaven holds for his tribe.
II they had ideas of the future life,
as no doubt they do, for they, too, live
1t must be of forest, nothing less
and nothing more.
Could the squirrel mind understand,
it would move the captured body back
to the other side of the space, then
take a run and jump for it
And go, like furred bullet, squarely
through the window glass
Cats have done it without injury when
chased by dog.
But no squirrel will ever have mind
enough to do it, except under similar
circumstances.
The cold hardness of the pane baffled
it.
All it could think to do was gnaW,
the traditional squirrel way of getting
"IIdt ~ Wallis.
Suddenly, in the morning, the door
was opened, but the rodent did not
dash past
No it was afraid. Escape had loomed
too quickly for it. The terror was in
every muscle and every fiber of every
muscle.
1t jumped to the cross beams, then
ran around and around, like a crazy
thing.
We left the doors open and went
away to watch, but finally gave it up
for the beast would not come out.
Hours later, venturing to the garage,
We discovered that it had left unseen.
1t was free again, free in its beauti-
full world of trees.
