Military Air Safety

The War Department in an effort
to allay undue public anxiety over
an increasing number of fatal
crashes In connection with military
flying, has made public statement
to the effect that, while the recent
accidents are cause for grave con-
cern," there is no reason for undue
alarm" Rear Admiral John H. Tow
ers, chief of the Navy Bureau of
Aeronautics, also has said that the
Nation must steel itself against news
of increased numbers of accidents
in connection with military air oper-
ations His statement was made in
connection with decision to suspend
annual award of the Schif Memo
rial Trophy for safe flying in the
naval air service during the present
emergency period.
Both services have pointed out
that there has been a steadily in
creaSing amount of military flying
and that air operations are becoming
more realistic" as the world Situa-
ton develops. Army and Navy pilots
not only are being trained in greater
numbers, but they are flying more
continuously, in foul weather and
fair, by day and night, in an effort
to switch over from peacetime train
ing to something more nearly ap-
preaching wartime status. Airplanes
also are faster and more complex.
It has been pointed out also that it is
erroneous to Judge the proficiency
of military flight personnel and the
condition of air and ground equip
ment solely on basis Of the number
of accidents. The fair criterion is
the accident rate" In the light of
number of hours of operation per
fatal accident, the present safety
record of both services is high. Dur
ing 1910, for example, Army air
planes were flown more than 100000
hours, as compared with about 77,000
hours in 1921, but the percentage of
accidents last year was far below
that of twenty years ago.

minating letter in The Star some time
ago written by person who explained
that the reason he drove to and from
work was that if he did not he would
have to take three buses to get down.
town and back. and that the trip by bus
took two or three times as long as
would be required in a private car be-
cause of the time spent waiting for buses
at transfer points. One readily compre-
hends why driving to work in a private
car is preferable.
The unprecedented exodus to the sub
urbS has resulted in badly congested
roads leading into the city. Better mass
transportation would correct this condi-
ton more effectively than underpaSSeS
and street widening. Usually large cities
depend on the network of railroads run
ming into them for transportation of
commuters who go to and from the city
in spacious and comfortable day coaches
in which it is possible to read the news
papers without annoying other pas
sengers.
WaShingtons railroad terminal not be-
ing in the heart of the city or entSring
the business district as railroad ter
minals in other large cities do makes
committing by train problem. SUBJ
urban developments in the Washington
area are not adjacent to railroads. More
high-class suburban developments along
the railroad between Richmond and Bal
timore would relieve the pressure of try
ing to get into town over congested roads.

Co-ordinutinq Relief

State Department records show
that more than 300 organizations
have registered for the purpose of
collecting funds in this country for
relief of war victims abroad. The
solicitations are being made in be-
half of sufferers in England, France,
Poland, Finland, Greece, Spain,
China and other countries which
have been scourged by war. Most of
them have sprung up within the past
year or two as a natural outgrowth
of American sympathy for homeless
and hungry fellow beings in war
devastated lands. Most of the
agencies are operating independ-
emily, without knowledge of what
other groups may be doing in the
same field. Consequently, there has
developed some duplication OF effort
that is confusing to contributors and
to solicitors as well.
1t was with this picture in mind
that Secretary of State Hull recon-
mended to President Roosevelt that
a special committee be appointed to
study the question of fund raising
for foreign relief and, at the same
time, to survey the situation with
regard to emergency campaigns for
domestic relief or welfare work. The
President has acted promptly to
adopt this suggestion, naming Joseph
E. Davies, former Ambassador to
Belgium: Frederick P. Keppel, presi-
dent of the Carnegie Corporation of
New York, and Charles P Taft, as
SiStant defense co-Ordinator Of
health and welfare activities, as
members of the committee. The
committee will attempt to bring Or
der out of the somewhat chaotic con-
ditions which have resulted from
well-meant but too-haStily organ
lied relief efforts. For example, a
number of organizations are said to
be collecting money without first
ascertaining the extent of the need,
the amount of relief being admin
istered by the Red Cross or other
agencies or the availability of ship
ping for delivery of supplies. Such
a lack of planning obviously is not
in the public interest. The various
relief groups should welcome any
assistance which the Government
may give them in integrating their
efforts and in otherwise enabling
them to function with maximum
of efficiency and effectiveness.

A Wise Settlement

Regardless Of the absence OF juStt-
fication for the original walkout, the
Washington Building Trades Council
deserves commendation for its deCi-
sion to call off a strike at the Army
Medical Center because, in the Judg-
ment of the council, the national
defense program is more important
than their grievance against a nom
union contractor on this project"
The position taken by this union
group assumes special Importance
against the background of the series
Of strikes on defense projects which
have been called throughout the
country. In many of these instances
there has been little if any juStiflca-
ton for striking; in others the work.
ers have had what would normally
be considered adequate reasons for
leaving their jobs. Those reasons,
however, have no valid relation to
present conditions, for this is not a
normal time. On the contrary, the
Nation, by every criterion, is in
period of critical emergency, and all
labor disputes should be handled ac-
cordingly.
To date, there has been a too pro-
nounced tendency to brush over the
strike problem because walkoutS so
far have not seriously impeded the
defense effort. This attitude, how
ever, fails to give due weight to the
fact that any strike which interferes
with national defense is harmful,
and that condonement of relatively
unimportant strikes tends to en-
courage other WalkoutS and ulti-
mately promises to complicate seri-
ously the problem of dealing with
large-scale strikes, if they should de-
velop.
Obviously, it is desirable to have
any restraint on strikes originate
with organized labor In the long
run there is no difference between
the vital and selfish interest of union
members and that of other citizens in
the national defense program, and if
all organized workers would give ade-
quate consideration to the fact that
any impairment of the country's de-
fense to some degree threatens their
own security, there would be few if
any strikes, and no basis for attempts
to impose legislative restrictions on
the right to strike.
The statement issued by Frank J.
Sheehan of the United States Con-
Citation Service in connection with
the calling off of the Medical Center
strike makes it evident that the local
Building Trades Council is prepared
to overlook what it regards as le-
Ultimate grievance-howeve much
opinions may differ on that point-in
the interests of organized labor's
larger responsibility to itself and to
the country. Our national future
would be much more secure if the
wise example of the local council were
to be followed by all labor organiza-

DepIores Elevation of Popular Tune
To Rivalry With National Anthem.

To the Editor Of The Star:
If I remember correctly, was taught
in American schools that there is only
one national anthem and that the ma
tional anthem is the only musical COM
position which should be honored by
standing Up during its rendition, thus
showing due respect for what it repre-
sents.
But, recently, was present at con-
cert given by small band. At the end
of the program God Bless America"
was played. The bandleader motioned
to the audience to stand up. The
crowd obeyed like flock of sheep
have beer told that standing up for
God Bless America" is a common oc-
currence in theaters and movie houses.
In fact, only short time ago, 1 saw
an item ir one of the papers stating
that a prominent citizen was threatened
with violence for failing to rise when
this piece of music was rendered.
What is the reason for this current
hySteria over a tune? Is 1t because
God Bless America" sounds patriotic?
Does not THE Stars And Stripes For
ever" sound patriotic? Why the eX-
citement over one patriotic song and
not over the other? Is it because God
Bless America" is favorite with the
public? Why not have convulsions over
all the favorite pieces of music?
Or does it mean that the venerable
UStor COa0plnd poOOer" iS haipC
crowded off of the American stage by a
newcomer? Has God Bless America"
been raised to the same rank as the
national anthem? If so, when and by
whom? Would not putting any other
musical theme in the same category
with the Star Spangled Banner" be
showing disrespect for the national
anthem? Is that what is intended?
E. B. ACLAO.

warnings can be summarized very
simply: Warfare is not very safe
occupation. The nearer the opera
tions of any military force approach
war conditions, the greater are the
chances of people being hurt. This
certainly is no less true in the air
services than in the other combat
arms. Presumably everything that
can be done to make flying safe is
being done in both the services.
There is no skimping in airplane or
engine design or construction, nor in
the training Of air and ground per-
Sonnel. The fact cannot be escaped,
however, that more people are flying
in more airplanes during a greater
part of every day and every week.
Regardless of continued improve
ment in the accident rate, there are
bound to be more accidents while
the emergency conditions continue.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. TrdceUeH.

family to turn the dining room into the
real living room,
If the windows are low, and open onto
the garden, the room makes the natural
gathering place.
If easy chairs and books and music are
provided there, as well as food, there
will be gatherings there all day long.
In the old days, now gone beyond re-
call, it would seem, most American fam
lilies. especially in the small towns which
are so characteristically American, made
the dining room into the real living
room, and turned the sitting room, as it
was called then, into the parlor. The
parlor, as such, had gone out a few
years prior to the so-called gay 90s, but
the sitting room took over the duty.
Everything was kept spotless here, with
the result that most of the members Of
the household were afraid to use it.
The dining room did double duty then.
There followed period during which
it became fashionable to build the rear
dining room windows high in the wall,
blocking off the view. Then the rear
porch, with a French window, really a
door, succeeded in blocking off the gar
den view almost as completely.
The best plan is to have low windows
overlooking the garden, so that it is
always easy to see the flowers. And un-
doubtedly this is best when a family
goes in for bird feeding and watching.
Not only can feeders at the sills be easily
seen, but all the feeders in the yard,
placed in perennial borders, at the fence
and on trees, are open to the observers.
Our correspondents tame squirrel was
probably the victim of its own lack of
timidity. It is often impossible TO tell
whether their wounds are the result of
seizure by dog or cat, or from being
struck by car.
Nothing is surer than that the wounds
will heal nicely if the animal escapes
vital damage, provided it gets good food
and water.
1t is important to keep pans of water
cleared of ice.
This is some trouble, but it is one Of
the best gifts we can offer the back
yard animals and birds during the cold
days
1t is always a good plan to keep a
saucer of water on the feeding tray at
the window. Owing to the heat from the
house, this will keep open longer than
pans of water farther out in the yard.
1t is essential, however, to have small
raised ledge around windowsill feeding
station, in order to keep the pan of
water from being pushed off by squirrels.
These are active, mischievous rodents,
often indulging in monkeyshines just for
the fun Of it.
A raised ledge not only keeps the water
pan in, but also allows the arriving birds
a natural perch as they fly in.
Robins, being soft-bilIed birds, do not
eat seeds and grains usually placed in
feeding stations
If the ground is frozen when they ar
rive, offerings of bread and milk might
be in place, but this place is farther out
in the yard, and on the ground, where
they naturally look for food
