Answers Suggestion for Bombing
Capital City Of Japan.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The Senator from Florida. if quoted
correctly. wishes American pilots to bomb
Toxic. II believe a few Americans in
first-class bombing planes could make a
shambles out of Toxic" he says; they
wouldn't leave enough of Toxic to build
q bonfire
BY now, every one knows what bombing
a city implies. An apt word was chosen
in "shambles"; it means slaughter
house One can predict the news-reel
shots: Women herding babies into shell
ters df Toxic has shelters). men darting
about looking for their families, tired
looking miniature firemen trying to put
out the flames, nurses taking care of the
rows of injured. All futile effort, how
ever, for it is proposed not to leave OF
until the inhabitants are dead and the
city burnt.
In the above quotation there is no
mistake about what is intended; the
meaning is clear; but the object OF
these acts is not so clear. According to
the quoted interview as a result of the
reduction of Toxic to a shambles the
japanese may lose some of their blood
thirstiness."
Perhaps before the American pilots
put this plan into action. they should
work out, if they can, the steps of
reasoning between the premises and this
conclusion. JOHN M. SLATER.

Suggests Sacrifice" for Peace
In Anticipation of Change"


Whittier America? Are we travelling
the same road we took about "a years
ago? Are we making the same detour
of the road of sanity and peace into the
same alley of death and despair we took
then? Are we trying to prove that two
wrongs make right? Pre- we to try to
crush Nazi-ism, system under which
men who speak, write and think freely
are killed, by the further killing of in
nocent men, women and children?
It's never too late for peace. Let us
all work towards that goal-a goal we
surely shall reach much sooner if we
use our heads instead of our emotions
and ally ourselves with the other great
powers of the world who are still at
peace. Let us be unselfish. It is better
to sacrifice few ideals now, while we
are at peace, and thereby bring about
the destruction of Nazi-ism, than to 60
to war and perhaps sacrifice all of our
ideals. for we all know that after the
war. a social change will be demanded
by the peoples of the earth for the right
to live and let live. S.

rolls seem to offer a possible means
of reinforcing existing defense man
power. Howard O. Hunter, acting
w. P. A. commissioner, estimates
that there are 100000 experienced
mechanics and other industrial
workers who are now on public re-
lief rolls, or who are unemployed,
and certified as eligible for relief,
and that there are an additional
$4,000 on w. P. A. lists with partial
skills, who could be quickly trained
for jobs in industry. In addition to
expanding training facilities in in
dustry, every effort should be made
to utilize for defense production as
many of those on w. P. A. rolls as
are fitted for defense production.

Urges Preparation for Peace
As Well as for War.

To the Editor of The Star:
If we enter the war, what will we be
fighting for? To destroy Hitlerism?
That is a good and worthwhile objective,
since we know that Hitler and his allies
seek to dominate the world.
But is It enough? What good will 1t
do Americans to win foreign war unless
they also win the economic struggle at
home? Therefore, it appears obvious
that we must not only defeat the
European relationships, but also must
bear in mind constantly that our main
objective is to make America better
place to live, with greater security, more
equality and more liberty for all of our
people.
To gain this objective we must prepare
for the peace that will come when the
present national emergency is over.
Holding our own in this warning world
calls for vastly increased production,
which can be accomplished only through
real economic planning. We have all
of the material resources, enough men,
enough factories and machines. if we
use the proper system to keep them at
work. WILLIAM OWEN.

Accent on Youth

In connection with plans for reg
istering an additional million men
who have become twenty-one since
the initial selective service enroll
ment last October, administration Of
ficials are said to be considering
adoption of new policy which would
place the accent on youth in calling
selectees to active duty. Now that
cadres of trained or partially trained
men have been built up in Americas s
new Army, War Department author
tiles are reported to be inclined to
augment these nuclei with incre-
ments of men chosen from the lower
age brackets. Thus, instead of call
ing up men indiscriminately from
the reservoir of registrantS between
the ages of twenty-one and thirty
five years, the draft boards would be
notified that the Army's future need
is for men under thirty or even under
a lower maximum. All of this pre-
supposes, of course, that the crisis
ahead will not require a more rapid
expansion of the Army than is pres
emily contemplated.
Military experts say that the
younger men are more easily nodded
into good soldiers than men in the
older age groups. The plan would
have the additional advantage of
causing a minimum dislocation of
family, educational and business
routines, for the older men invar-
iably are more settled" in their
Evening star., 1941-05-09

r. j. B. Of Alexandra, Va, saw his
first wood thrush April %. This is inter-
esting because that is the orthodox date
for the return of these birds to the
Washington area. Many thrushes came
back this year, however, two or three
weeks ahead of time.
Mrs. B. C. T. of Chevy Chase, Nd,
takes the wood thrush prize, though.
She saw one as early as February, last,
right in her own garden. In COM
munication she says:
Your comments on the wood thrush
recall an incident of last winter. At
dusk one cold, gray day, the first week
of February, I was almost startled to
hear the low sweet notes Of bird in
the top of tree near my window.
1T was too dark to recognize the bird
but I thought it might be female
cardinal, as 1 had seen two of them in
the tree earlier In the evening.
But the next morning a thrush ap-
peared in the yard and I felt sure the
song was just few notes of his summer
vesper service.
The bird stayed on the ground or on
the feeding tray during the day. for
nearly a week. I fed it bread crumbs,
suet and chopped apples, and. Of course,
gave it water But it evidently was sick
and sat with its feathers all ruffled
up most OF the time.
"At the end of the week it disappeared
and I am sure the cold weather and
the frozen ground were too much for
this summer minstrel.
But the query remains, where did he
come from? Or had he been in this
vicinity all fall and winter and in his
extremity some instinct made him return
to a place feeding tray where food
had always been plentiful?
THE wood thrush is quite common
in this part of Chevy Chase, also the
catbird. But neither has appeared in
this immediate neighborhood yet.
Both of them are lovely singers and
heartily endorse all you say of them" !"
We have never seen a wood thrush
in Chevy Chase later than the first week
in November. Most of them are gone
before that.
The question is, whether our corre-
spondent identified the bird correctly.
Sometimes the fox sparrow, which ar
rives in February. is mistaken for a
thrush. We feel quite sure that no
thrush would sing in winter in this
vicinity, even if it arrived.
On the other hand, there is a chance
that the bird really might have been
the wood thrush very much out of its
usual migration channel.
1t is believed that certain glands Of
internal secretion have something to
do with migration. They control it, in
other words, just as the various glands
in humans control certain processes,
including that of growth.
We have never had thrush come to a
feeding tray, but that does not mean
that one might not come to regular
feeding place.
There is one food the thrushes will
eat. from now on, especially during the
nesting, and this is ground beef.
