DANGEROUS Economy

1t is a dangerous type of economy
which the Senate Appropriations
Committee has practiced at the ex-
pense of a $1,347,OO 10000 item in the
supplemental defense bill. The dis
approved fund is urgently sought by
the War Department for special
ordnance" deemed essential to the
Nations security in view of the in
creasingly alarming world outlook.
This ordnance was to constitute a
reserve pool on which the Army
could draw in event actual hoStilitieS
should break out in the uncertain
future. In the pool, it was indicated,
would be more than 5000 light and
medium tanks and considerable
quantities of anti-tank and anti
aircraft guns.
The House approved this reserve
equipment after UnderSecretary of
War Patterson had testified that the
serious trend of events indicated that
these tanks and guns would be need
ed by the Army and that their man
ufacture should be started now, as
production of this sort of materiel
requires a long time The Senate
committee disregarded this advice,
Chairman Adams explaining to re-
porters that the equipment was
"over and above" that needed for an
Army of 100000 men. Some mem
bers of the group are understood to
have disapproved the Army's request
because they felt that the tanks and
guns were intended for use by a
second A. E. F." There was no tes-
timony to support this belief, how
ever. And to deprive the Army Of a
reservoir Of weapons which 1t may

DR.. Lawrence Kolb, Assistant Sur
geon General: Alcoholism is a matter
OF public concern whose health features
have been obscured by social and legal
factors inseparable from a r~1blem
whose central theme is closely oound,
on the one hand, to the profit motive
and. cn the other hand, to poverty,
delinquency, and crime. . . The rela-
ton between alcoholism and crime has
not been given the thorough study that
it deserves. Comprehensive studies
should be made in order to acquire &C
curate knowledge as to the prevalence
and social consequences of alcoholism,
including crimes due to it. and of
alcoholic deaths. . = Alcoholism is a
large problem that is poorly handled
IN many parts of this country by health,
welfare and police agencies . 40
DR.. Winfred Overholser, Superintend-
ent ST. Elizabeths Hospital: q. 1t
seems safe to say, indeed, that there
are in the United States probably sew
eral hundred thousand, perhaps even
a half million. persons suffering from
alcoholism at the present time. Thus,
with tuberculosis, cancer, syphilis mental
disease, and infantile paralysis now re-
ceiving competent and intelligent medi-
cal attention, we now have alcoholism
as the greatest public health problem
at the present time which is not being
Systematically attacked"
There is no question as to the serious
ness of the liquor problem with all its
implications, particularly in times of all
out effort for national defense. Strength
enlng of morale with its beneficial
results will certainly prove to be one of
the strongest and most effective arma-
ments in the arsenal of democracy.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1DeU.

In the old countries, 1t was held to
came indoors and took up his home in
the crevices on the hearth.
The more heat, the more he sang.
1t is said that the rate of chirping
depends upon the temperature, and that
the latter may be read fairly accurately
by counting the number of chirps.
A formula for doing this has been
devised, but we cannot speak for its
accuracy. The temperature, according
to this formula, is computed as so plus
the number Of chirps per minute,
minus 40, divided by 4.
The chirping is made by the rubbing
OF the file-like ridge of one wing over
the scraping surface of the other. Only
the males are able to sing
Many persons do not like the chirping
of crickets. Instead of wanting to keep
the insects In cages, as our CORE
spondent they want to murder them,
and this may be done by putting out a
bait of banana moistened with bichloride
of mercury. Since this is deadly poison,
the greatest care should be used in
handling it. Above ALL it should not
be allowed to stand forgotten. The
best way, we feel sure, is not to use it
at all.
The hearth cricket cage Is a form
Of the terrarium, as it is called, or place
in which to keep lizards, small frogs,
turtles, small reptiles, etc.
Keeping these creatures was a pecu-
liarly European indoor sport. One may
suppose that the war has put a COM
plete end to it,
In Germany, in particular, many
elaborate cages were built. They ranged
from dry temperature to moist tropical
Many of them were of glass, with the
top and at least one side removable
Some were made of screening, but with
one side clear glass, so that the crea-
lures might be better observed This
might be applied to the cricket cage.
In keeping some Of the terrarium
subjects it was found necessary to build
small drinking pool of concrete with
mirror bottom, since the animals we're
used to seeing the sky reflected in water.
and without this they could not recog-
niZe it as water
There are many superstitions about
cricketS.
One is that it is bad luck to kill them
after they get in the house.
This follows, of course, the belief that
it is good luck when they come in.
What they eat, after they get in, is
something of mystery. Favorite
places are coal bins, in easements, and
fireplaces.
The European house cricket is now
acclimatized in Canada and some Of
our New England States. We have been
unable to locate any local pet shops
which had these crickets for sale. In
quiry might be made in Boston or of
friends in Maine.

Virqiniu DuyIiqht Saving

The effort to put daylight saving
into effect in Virginia has struck
snag in the Northern Virginia area
due to the reluctance of officials there
to take the initiative pending action
by the Washington authorities. While
1t is easy to understand the attitude
of authorities in the neighborlng
cities and counties, it would be bene-
ficial to all if Virginia, Washington
and Maryland officials should make
the necessary adjustments to gain an
hour of daylight.
1t is true that if one community,
such as Arlington County, went on
notwithstanding time, and the rest of
the Washington area remained on
standard time, there would be many
complications. Fort Meade tried
daylight saving early this summer,
: but gave it up because all the terri
tory around it remained on standard.
When President Roosevelt asked
eight Southern States to adopt day.
light saving to conserve power needed
for defense, Governor Price of Vir-
ginia issued persuasive" proclama-
ton calling on Old Dominion locali-
ties to set their clocks ahead. Since
then he has had an encouraging re-
sponse from city and county govern
ments and industrial concerns. The
States big population centers, the
Norfolk, Richmond and Roanoke
areas, are following the new system,
along with many smaller communi-
ties. Only Northern Virginia among
the major areas of population is out
of line.
In this area, Washington seems to
hold the key. For both Alexandria
and Arlington officials have said they
will not adopt daylight saving unless
Washington does. Governor O'Conor
Of Maryland had indicated a willing
ness to cooperate If asked to do SO

To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Thanks for the interesting article by
Wilbur La Roe, jr. on Liquor as
Prolific Cause of Crime"
The staggering figures about intoxi-
Gated criminals on the roads and streets
should arouse the public to concerted
and immediate action against this deadly
menace, very clearly revealed by three
outstanding experts on the problem. The
following quotations are taken from the
March, 1941, issue of the Quarterly
Journal of Studies on Alcohol, Hill
house avenue, New Haven, Conn:
DR.. Thomas Parran, Surgeon General,
United States Public Health Service:
go The trend of alcoholism has been
downward, but it still remaiIIs serious
problem. . . Alcohol is major cause
Of insanity Poisoning from it causes
more deaths than many dreaded infec-
tious diseases. In 1899 more than
100000 people were brought before the
courts for drunkenness, or for driving
while drunk, in cities of the United
States representing less than one-third
Of its population. The problem thus is
seen to be one of such major i'm
portance as to demand the serious at
tention Of sociologists, physicians, health
officers and scientists. The harm
done by alcohol can be reduced to
minimum by education as to the effects

Meeting at SEQ

The announcement that President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill have met at sea and have
might be called the war aims of the
two governments puts a dramatic
period to the flood of rumor and
speculation which followed the dis
appearance from public view of
these two champions of the demo-
cratic cause.
1t is made clear in the brief White
House announcement that all agree
ments for the future reached by the
two men are made contingent upon
"the final destruction of the Nazi
tyranny" That must come first.
But the announcement, assuming
that new decisions were taken, is
silent as to the specific ways and
means for accomplishing this de-
struction which may have been
agreed upon, stating merely that the
whole problem" of the supply of
munitions of war has been further
examined. Additional discussions
along this line, including ways of
supplying Russia, will be held, but
the world presumably must await
developments for enlightenment as
to the precise nature of steps to be
taken.
For the most part, the statement
Is an elaboration of the aims of both
governments in war and peace. Both
disclaim any purpose of territorial or
other aggrandizement. With due
respect for existing obligations" they
promise all states, victor or van
ouished," access on equal terms to
the trade and needed raw materials
of the world. The right of self-de-
termination of all peoples is recog-
nized, and freedom of the seas is de-
clared necessary to enduring peace.
Finally, the necessity of effective
disarmament and abandonment of
the use of force by nations is as
serted AS first step, after the
war, the compulsory disarmament OF
the aggressor nations seems to be
contemplated. Later, the aid of both
governments is pledged to "all other
practicable measures" which will
tighten the crushing burden of
armaments.
Undoubtedly the statement is de-
signed as an answer to charges that
Britain, with the support of the
United States, is fighting to maintain
her dominant position in the world.
To acknowledgement "have-not" ma
tions, such as Japan, lowering on
the brink of hostilities, and also to
Axis-inclined France, it contains at
least an implied promise of new
deal" when the war is ended coupled
with warning to refrain from active
participation on the side of the ag-
gressors.
Because the statement necessarily
Ia couched in generalities, it will draw
the fire of those who are ever quick
10 criticize. But, to say the least, it
Is an inspiring document when meas
ured against the blighting policies
which have been shaped and put into
effect as a result of meetings at the
Brenner Pass.

' Inside Baseball

Hank Greenberg, swept from De-
troit by draft more irresistible than
any ever devised by Judge Lands for
the big leagues, has made first base,
metaphorically speaking, by being
promoted to corporal He did not
do it with his bat. Until the other
day, he had not been on a diamond
since May.
Then, curiously enough, instead of
playing on some Stars and Stripes
team, his initial effort was to hold
down first base for the Stripes, as
represented by the ball team of the
State Prison for Southern Michigan
at Jackson. After accompanying an
Army squad to the big house for
game with its inmates, he was per-
Suaded to join, for the duration of
the game, the doghouse squad, upon
the solemn promise of the umpire
that he would be put out and become
a free agent when it was over.
The prisoners might have been
expected to be adept at inside"
baseball, and especially good in base
stealing, but if they were, their skill
was not needed. In four trips to
the plate, Hank knocked out a single,
two doubles and a scorching home
run followed by four thousand pairs
of wistful eyes as it went over the
wall He won the game practically
single-handed, to 2, and then went
back to camp to warm up for the
task of knocking Hitler out of the
box
