ment is the first of its kind in the

Says Salary Cuts
Should Be Scaled.

To the Editor of The Star:
1t might seem equitable to those who
tell us how much we have to give for
defense to lop of Is per cent from the
salary of one who receives $1,000 and
another who makes $4,000. But where
is the equality? If we must have our
salaries reduced, it should be remem-
bered that when you cut Is per cent from
the salary of a person getting anywhere
from 81, 200 to $1,000. you are taking it
from the grocery bill and other neces-
stiles. 1t is not being taken from luxu-
ries, for no one making $1,000 or less
can afford luxuries in Washington. Even
a single man or woman who must rent
and buy meals out can afford few luxu-
ries, not even If they only pay $40 a
month for a room. You cannot get a
full meal for less than 65 cents. Add to
that lunch and breakfast and ones food
costs from $35 to $50 a, month.
If it comes to the point that we must
give up part of our salary for defense,
then 1t should be on q sliding scale.
Those who get less than 81 100 should
not have to lose a cent; those making
$1,000 to 81 900, not more than per cent;
S2l00 to $500, 10 per cent; $500 to
5000, Is per cent: $500 to $4,000. 20
per cent, and all above $4,000. IS per
cent. COMMON FRY.

Mockingbirds are beginning to show
up now in home yards which have not
known them for several months.
One flew into the feeder by the dining
room window the other day.
What a beautiful bird this is, closely
seen!
At a distance, the mockingbird may
rot attract your notice 100 favorably.
except for the flash of white when 1t
flies.
Close at hand, its neat feathers and
colors are bound to receive acclaim.
This was fat round bird, unusually
plump and full feathered,
No doubt it has had good food all
summer, wherever it has been.
1t perched on top of the feeding sta
ton for several minutes, looking around
with a mild air.
It was noticeable. however, that no
other species came to eat while it was
there.
The seeds and cracked grains in the
station did not appeal to it, of course,
What 1t wants at this time of year, is
food of another color.
1t desires raiSins, doughnuts, bread,
or an apple cut in two
If these foods are placed where the
mockingbird can get at them, he is very
likely to come at any time.
Whether it is a bird which lives here,
or one which flies in from the North, is
difficult to say.
What is important is that certain
number of mockingbirds are around
throughout the year
Any one who really tries to attract
them, will no doubt succeed. Some
persons refuse to try. They say that the
mocker is no friend of smaller birds.
and drives them away from feeding
station, even when he does not want
anything to eat for himself.
Friends of the bird Indignantly assert
that this is a Slander on one of the best
Of all the songbirds. Persons from the
South. particularly, are likely TO become
hot and bothered about defending the
mocker from such SANDER Perhaps
sectional pride has something to Go
with il.
There is little doubt that mocking-
birds. like people, differ.
The gardener who is unfortunate
enough to get pestiferous mocker, IS
likely 10 conclude that all Of these birds
are equally troublesome
Whereas the person who finds a
good" mockIngbird in his ward makes
up his mind that all OF them are
similarly sweet tempered.
( Something can be done by providing
the bird with feeding station all It's
/ own.
T Preferably this IS put on the side o!
the house removed from the station
which holds seeds and grains for the
nuthatches, chickadees, titmice and the
! rest.

Defense HOUSING Chaos

In pleading before a House COM
mittee yesterday for an end of the
confused multiplication of defense
housing agencies" Nathan StrauS,
administrator of the United States
Housing Authority, properly pointed
to the Dupont Circle Apartments
case as evidence of the Federal
housing chaos existing IL Washing
ton Here was an example of ad-
miniStrative confusion that would
have been almost ludicrouS, but for
the fact that the housing crisis is
anything but a laughing matter.
What happened, in effect, in the
Dupont case was that the Federal
Government evicted the tenants,
many of them defense employees, in
order to make office room for several
agencies, one of which is charged
with finding shelter for defense en-
ployes! Moreover, the acquisition of
the apartment building was effected,
as Mr.. StrauS testified, by ''the very
agency which also shares a part OF
the divided responsibility for meet
ing the defense housing crisis
There have been other shocking
instances of official turmoil and gen.
eral bewilderment in the handling of
housing problemS-and there will be
more as long as the present multi
yoljritv ~ bouSipo aoepcjeS with
their duplication of efforts and over
tapping of authority, is tolerated.
According to Mr. StrauS, there are
now fully a dozen Federal defense
housing organizations utilizing good
office space in Washington and
many of them are engaged III de-
struCtive tug-of-War among them
selves instead of working together
for the good of housing. Over all is
CO-OrdinatOr, but obviously there
has been no coordination worthy of
the name. Prompt executive or legis-
lative action-or both. if necessary
should be taken to bring some
semblance of order out of this ad-
ministrative maze, through a CEN
tralization of authority in some
competent agency. The need for this
reorganization is urgent, for it is no
exaggeration to say that it will
represent an important contribution
toward the success of the whole ma
tional defense program.

F. w. A. Reconsiders

The unexplained action of Federal
Works Administration officials in
retreating from their earlier stand
against eligibility of the District of
Columbia to share in Lanham Act
defense works funds is as surprising
as their original attitude, but, Withal,
highly gratifying. In contrast to
their assertions at House Subcom-
mlttee hearing last Monday TO the
effect that all of the $3.50, ,000 900
Lanham Act appropriation had been
allocated and that, anyway, they
doubted whether the District could
qualify as a beneficiary, representa-
tlveS of the F. w. A. yesterday con-
ceded that ten out of seventeen
local emergency projects were in the
eligible" category. They are re-
ported to have indicated that an
effort would be made to find enough
leftover money to finance the ten
approved projects, totaling in cost
SO ,537 500.
The District, however, should not
have to depend on uncertain surplus
funds for the vital emergency work
which must be done to meet the
urgent needs of the rapidly growing
defense program in Washington.
The Commissioners should press to
the limit their request for special
legislation to insure a square deal
for the National Capital under the
Lanham Act. Basic congressional
authority is needed for District ac-
ceptance of F. w. A. loans or grants.
But Congress, recognizing the impor-
tance of satisfying the emergency
municipal service requirements of
governmental agencies in Washing
ton. should 60 further and see that
adequate funds are earmarked for
local use, either in the present ap-
preparation or in the supplementary
$500 100000 allotment now pending.

THIS AND THAT
BU Charles E. Trdce1UeU.

In this way, by this little subterfuge.
the mockingbird is kept on his own side
of the house, and is not so likely to
bother the others, if he happens to have
the desire.
1t must be kept in mind that raiSlns
and breadstuffs, including doughnuts,
are highly regarded by the starlings.
SO Mr.. Mocker may find himself fight
ing it out for possession.
In most such cases, the starlings win
easily, not only because there are so
many OF them. but also because they
can Outright mockmgbird.
The mockerg. with all respect TO them,
are mostly b. ST. except IN the spring.
In the spring time when they are
defending their nests against foes, i'm
agned or otherwise, they are splendid.
They Will sail through the air at man,
cat, dog or bird which happens TO come
into the yard.
Mostly their efforts are wasted since
nothing threatens their nest at all. But
the gesture is a good one, and shows the
bird to the best advantage. We could
not say that this is why he does it.
We have always wondered in what
section of the country the mocklngbird
is called the mimic thrush, for we have
never heard human being call it any
thing but mockingbird.
1t is about ten inches long. with its
upper parts broWnish-gray its under
parts white and gray It's bill is shorter
than its head, and its wings long and
round The tail is longer than the wing
and is rounded, with the feathers mod
erately broad with rounded tips.
The edges of the wings and the tail
feathers show white when the bird flies
and this characteristic is a sure sign OF
it. and makes its identification easy.
There is no other large gray bird Of
which this may be said The catbird

junco IS gray, with white breast, but it
IS considerably smaller and darker on
the back, and is sparroW-Size.

Hard Labor Strike

Nowadays one never knows where
a strike will hit or what the cause
Of complaint may be- Perhaps one
Of the most interesting from psy-
Geological viewpoint Is the recent
one at Alcatraz. where twenty-nine
convicts refused to work in the
prison laundry.
The mediation board, otherwise
known as Warden Johnston, is much
puzzled at this strike against the
government. In the first place it is
an automatic sitdown and yet not
one for which the strikers can be
unduly blamed; personally they
would like nothing better than a
simple walkout or even craWlout.
Wages are not point at issue, nor
is union recognition, as Alcatraz
members get just as much pay, and
even more publicity, than Leaven-
worth or Atlanta unions. No reason
is given other than that they do
not like the laundry machines"
For a change, no serious conse
quences to national defense are an
ticipated. According to their terms
Of employment they do not have
to like the laundry machines, nor
the solitary confinement they get
for refusing to operate the machines.
In fact, according to a decision of
the supreme court of common sense,
they do not have to like anything
about Alcatraz; and even if they
win the strike and with it the right
to appear in clothing so soiled that
the stripes run together and bank
robber 123456 cannot be distinguish
ed from murderer I'll, it still will not
matter, as they are not going any,
where.
