A platter of chopped beef has proved
the best bird attracter yet, bringing to
the garden at one time cardinals, robins,
song sparrows, English sparrows and
catbirds, all with their young.
This is sight not easily forgotten.
A total of Is songsters. young and old,
were on the lawn, with only occasional
tilts at each other
A mother cardinal Topped her wings
vigorously at a robin which was being
shown the great world by parent.
No harm was done, however.
In the main, the various birds and
their young ones got along very nicely,
coming in turns to the plate, with its
out-of- -the-usual bird food.
1t was interesting to note that all the
species named took to this food at once
and without hesitation, although not a
Probably they will never eat it again,
but for the time being they tasted and
found it good.
Fresh meat, properly ground, probably
would be eaten by all birds which nor
mally eat insects. Various stages in the
insect life are rather meaty, certainly
so in appearance.
Protein, in whatever form. is protein;
what would appeal to one bird might be
expected to make hit" with Others
There are, of course, many kinds of pro-
teins, but the birds cannot be expected
to know about them, nor worry their
small heads over them as human dieti-
clans do.
Ground beef is the best food of this
type. While songsters might eat sau-
sage, and the like, mixture of ingre-
dents cannot be so good for them
A meat diet for birds cannot be rec
commended as steady thing. There is
some cost to it, and perhaps it would
not be good for the songsters in the long
run. Then, too, there is an angle to it
not realized at first feeding-that of

When meat is placed in yard wan
dering dogs will be attracted from near
and far.
handful Of ground beef will last a
few birds all afternoon, but it will make
just one small mouthful for even the
smallest dog.
1t is an amazing thing how quickly a
dog can swallow meat Those who own
them know this we'll enough. The point,
perhaps, is that many dogs do not get a
sufficient ration of fresh meat, evidently.
Otherwise dogs must be the greediest
creatures in the world.
When a dog is in reasonably good
health. and out in the air all day long,
it naturally works up fine appetite, but
surely this would not account for the
absolutely ravenous way they go for the
birds ground beef

Granger Letter
Draws Reply.
To the Editor of The q

To the Editor of The Star:
Lest your readers be inclined to adopt a
reverent attitude toward Mr.. Hitler after
reading J. Dennis Granger's eulogy in
The Stars editorial page of May oath
denouncing the world for misunder-
standing Der Fuehrer,", want to re-
mark that I agree with the author that
Hitler is a remarkable and ingenious
f1gure-but so is the devil. As Mr..
Granger remarked, comparisons are
odious'-but sometimes they are prac-
tical
Remember that Hitler's power is based
on the defeat, domination, intimidation
and persecution Of less powerful peoples,
sects and nations. Let us recall the
Evening star., 1939-06-08

sion in the matter of his running
again until the eleventh hour.
If Mr.. Wallace is to become "fa-
vorite son" candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination-ready at all times
to shift his delegate votes to the
President-why would it not be pos
sible for other members Of the Pres
ident'S cabinet and ardent New Deal
followers Of the President in Con-
gress to occupy similar roles? The
answer is that it would be possible
although 1t might be difficult of &C
complishment if the voters and the
political powers that be in many
of the States became cognizant of
what was in the wind.
1t might be an easy proposition for
Postmaster General Farley to line up
the New York delegation back of
him-ready to deliver to the Presi-
dent when the time arrives. Attor-
ney General Frank Murphy of Mich
igan might perform a similar feat
in his State, and Secretary of War
Harry Woodring in Kansas; Senator
Barkley, Democratic leader of the
Senate, in Kentucky, and Secretary
of State Cordell Hull in Tennessee.
That Mr.. Hull would deliberately
permit himself to become stalking
horse for any one, however, is en-
tirely out of character.
AS long as the President remains
silent as to his future political plans,
any Democrat of prominence may
aspire to the presidential nomina-
ton without treading on any New
Deal toes-provided he does not say
as it has been said for the Vice Pres
ident-that he will be a candidate
even If the Presidents name is placed
before the national convention. In
deed, many gentlemen today are
hoping that the lightning will strike
them, personally, and that. the Pres
ident will not enter the lists. For
example, former Governor Paul v.
McNutt of Indiana, now United States
Commissioner to the Philippines, has
very definite ambitions. 1t is said
on his behalf, however, that Mr..
McNutt will not be a candidate if
the President aspires to another
term-and that he might in that
case swing the Indiana delegation
back of the present Chief Executive.
The present strategy of the New
Deal inner circle which wishes to see
the President take the field again
or at least dictate the next presi-
dental nominee Of the Democratic
party-is to protect Mr.. Roosevelt
from being compelled to say whether
he will run again or not. Some of
them regret that Secretary of the
Interior Ickes should at this time
have seen fit to demand that the
President run for third term. They
do not like the idea that the Presi-
dent may be forced, by his friends,
so early into a position of receptive
candidate in the eyes of the country.
They prefer, presumably, that he
may remain dark horse" right up
to the very verge of the national
convention meeting-With plenty of
delegates who may be counted upon
to swing to Roosevelt at the drop of
the hat.
At the same time, however, the
third termers are anxious that the
President remain constantly a po-
tential candidate for 1910; that this
possibility remain always in the pub
lie mind. All of which tends still
further to confusion.

Perfectinq q System

MOQlnCatlOnS OF Jle FeQeral-StdLe
unemployment compensation pro-
gram as proposed by the Ways and
Means Committee in amendments to
the Social Security Act are both in
teresting and gratifying to those de-
string a further perfecting of the
District compensation system.
Permissive in the sense that they
invite the revision of State and Dis
trict laws to bring about substantial
easing of tax requirements and a
measurable improvement in mini
mum benefit standards, the propos-
ais if approved in their present form
set a pattern on which companion
District bill should Immediately be
drafted and enacted into law.
In brief, the pending amendments
would permit the discretionary ad-
justment of local tax payments
downward from what in the District
is three and three-tenths per cent
rate on all covered pay rolls, the de-
termining factor for such adjust
ment being the maintenance of a
sufficient" total reserve. On the
basis of the committees definition
of sufficiency such reserve for the
District would be materially less
than the S13,000000 now standing to
the local account, balance which is
mounting rapidly with the monthly
excess of collections over benefit
payments.
Further adjustment on a basis of
individual merit rating is specifical-
ly encouraged in the pending meas
ure, a fact which should tend to ex-
pedite the devising OF workable
merit rating formula and its inclu-
sion in the District legislation.
Additional tax relief also would be
effected by the committee proposal
for limiting liability to the first So, 900
of annual salary of each covered
employe, a limitation which already
applies in the case of the old age in
surance taxes.
AS for benefit provisions their pro-
lection and improvement would
arise through the requirement that
certain standards must be met be-
fore the discretionary tax adjust
ments would be permitted. For the
District, the proposed standards
would be liberalization in two prin-
cipal respects, namely, a waiting
period before receipt of benefits of
only two weeks instead of three as
at present and a fixing of five dol
lars instead of two dollars as the
minimum weekly benefit.
1t may be noted that in several
respects the pending McGehee bill
would amend the local law to achieve
some of these desired notifications.
A revision of this measure to COM
ply more closely with the Ways and
Means proposals and to omit the
provisions which would divorce the
District system from the Federal
structure might in fact provide a
very satisfactory solution to the To-
cal problem.
In any event it would seem highly
advisable that the effective District
legislation should adhere closely to
the revisions as defined by the COM
mittee rather than extending too far
into experimental fields, either of
taxation or compensation.
