new fiscal year begins but clerks
said Congress should be able 10
clear all bills II it works at top

Both chambers were expected to
hold unusual Saturday sessions,
and some night work also was in
prospect. Despite its long list OF
unfinished business, the Senate

Curb on SABOTAGE

The discovery of what one officer
has called real sabotage" at Fort
Meade lends special pertinence to
Attorney General Jackson's renewed
request for legislation which, subject
to appropriate restrictions, would
legalize wiretapping and the use Of
evidence so obtained in cases in
volving espionage, sabotage, kidnap-
ing and eXtortion.
This Army official says there is
conclusive evidence of "prolonged
and skillful sabotaging" of construc-
ton work at Fort Meade, such as
the saving of uprights in manner
calculated to cause the collapse of
newly erected barracks and the
driving of spikes through telephone
and power lines. Another spokesman
for the Army says that these are acts
of vandalism, probably committed by
disgruntled workmen. 1t is quite
possible, of course, whether the
trouble at Fort Meade be due to
vandalism or sabotage in the popular
sense of that term, that wiretapping
would be Of no value in apprehending

of us have become tinid souls of the
Casper Milquetoast type. The pedestrian,
however frightened, must exercise his
own judgment as to when and where it
is best to attempt safe crossing.
And wherefore? Because at uncon-
trolled intersections, especially along Six
teenth street, Connecticut avenue, Co.
lumbia road and other arterial highways
the walker seldom has a chance during
trac peaks to cross the streets when there
are no approaching vehicles. If walkers
were to obey implicitly the regulation
prohibiting crossing while vehicles were
approaching, they would stand small
chance of getting anywhere.
No motorist ever stops or slows down
at an uncontrolled intersection unless
the pedestrian, patience exhausted with
waiting for the procession to pass, has
grim1y asserted the right of way on the
assumption the driver will not run him
down. Because of the disinclination of
drivers to yield the right of way to Pc
destrians at uncontrolled intersections
where there is an almost unending pro-
cession of vehicles the walker can effect
a crossing only half way at time, a
procedure that exposes him to the danger
of being run over by vehicles which are
not kept in line but which use the middle
of the street to pass vehicles ahead.
Although the responsibility for safety
is joint one, as pointed out in your edi-
torial, it is responsibility that is shirked
more by drivers than by pedestrians as
every one familiar with facts fully
realizes. LEWIS LUDINGTON.

these particular offenders, but Ger
tainly there are few persons who
would contend that a criminal en-
gagged in attempting to collapse a
barracks on a group OF soldiers, be
he a disgruntled workman or an
enemy agent, enjoys an inherent
immunity from any properly author
tzed device to aid in his detection.
In restating his position in support
of the Hobbs bill, Mr.. Jackson, in a
letter to Chairman Summers of the
House Judiciary Committee, made it
clear that it was his purpose to con-
fine the use of overlapping to the
particular offenSes mentioned, and
even then only upon a specific
authorization from the Attorney
General AS further safeguard
against abuse, the Attorney General
would be required to keep a perma-
nent record of each instance in which
wiretapping was authorized.
With these safeguards in effect,
there would be no reason to fear that
the privacy of law-abiding citizens
would be invaded by Government
agents. On the contrary, their real
interests would be promoted, for
every espionage agent, saboteur and
kidnaper who remains at large is a
menace to the collective and individ-
ual security of the American people.
In all probability the acts of Sabo-
tage which have occurred so far are
but the forerunners Of widespread
and determined effort by saboteurs
to cripple the national defense pro-
gram. If these real enemies of
America and American concepts of
freedom are to be curbed, no counter
weapon, when adequately safe
guarded, should be denied the proper
law enforcement authorities. To
contend otherwise in the name of
civil liberty is merely to give aid
and comfort to those who are the
avoWed enemies of our system of
free government.

Have you ever seen the parent downy
voodpecker being fed by the baby?
1T happens every year in my yard
and 1t makes me decide that the wild
things know more about teaching the
young than some of us suspect
TO return to the squirrels. Every
spring there is new brood born in a
neighbor's yard. and we have the fun
of watching the parents care for them
and educate them.
''They are as wild as deer when they
first come to see us, but last year we
come to our hands for peanuts and one
would hop into my lap for a nut.
"One even seemed so proud of his
accomplishment that he would wait on
the tree trunk until a nut was handed
to him, In preference to his own foraging.

OF appreciation for your nightly column.
II always read it and have learned so
much practical information from it.
very truly yours, j. w. s."
When you get right down to it, there Is
no wild creature in suburban yards which
gives quite as much entertainment as the
squirrel.
Often he is regarded as a nuisance.
but this is because he seems to interfere
with the birds. Actually, he does not;
the gray squirrel found hereabouts is not
mean, but full Of genuine mischief.
Therefore he will run toward bird
feeding station at full speed, seeming
bent upon catching a bird, but all he
wants to do is to frighten them a bit
Human beings would call it teasing.
Once he Is at the station, he selects
the seeds to suit himself, unmindful of
the scores OF birds which will hop up
behind him.
Now and then he gives a typically
squirrel-like Jump, which causes the birds
to flutter into the air, only to drop back
in few seconds.
The observer will feel that this mo-
ton is made just to see what the birds
will do.
There may be squirrels which actually
harm birds.
No race of creatures is free from its
rogues.
But by and large, the squirrels treat
the birds very well, considering how
much larger they are, and how much
more at home on the ground.
If they wanted to, the squirrels in any
yard could prevent all birds from eating
a seed
We have been watching birds and
squirrels rather intensively for a number
OF years, and have yet to see a bird
| harmed by one of the rodents.
You may be assured, in making a
gym for squirrels, that the little ami
| mails get great deal of fun out of it,
too. 1t tests both their ingenuity and
| their muscles.
They know about what they can do,
and will never rest satisfied until they
accomplish their aim. Care should be
taken not to create a genuine hazard for

industrial Exploration

Under the sponsorship of the Ma
tional Research Council, a group Of
American researchers have embarked
this week on a tour of industrial ex-
ploration" of South America-an ex-
pedition that should contribute much
toward a closer economic integration
of the Americas. It's main purpose
Is to explore the opportunities for a
greater utilization of the natural re-
sources and agricultural products of
South America through applying the
methods developed by Industrial
technologists in the United States.
The tour of exploration has a po-
tential Importance for two reasons.
First, because it may lead to uncov-
sring new South American sources
Evening star., 1941-03-21

for the strategic materials needed in
our national defense program, thus
lessening our dependence on imports
from outside the Western Hemi-
sphere. Second, because it may re-
veal possibilities for the wider use of
American technology in developing
in South America competitive
industrial raw materials. If these
can be developed, South American
countries will have a larger market
for their products in the United
States, and their defenses against
economic penetration by the totali-
tartan countries will be greatly
strengthened.
The United States is spending
about $30O,0OO,OOO annually for in
dustrial research. AS Maurice Hol-
land, director of the division of en-
gineering and industrial research of
the National Research Council, points
out, "the scientific and technical
iceboXes' of American industrial
companies are loaded up with new
processes, new ts-technolog-
ically damned up by the depression" !"
American industry, therefore, is in a
position to offer valuable techno-
logical assistance in developing the
industries and natural resources of
South America. 1t is to be hoped
that the present tour will lead to a
greater utilization of our technol-
ogy, through methods mutually ad-
vantageous both to this country and
to South America.

Seek to Socialize Industries.

Seek to Socialize Industries.
To the Editor of The Star:
M. w. K. says, in his letter to you
that I should worry about the union
situation as it stands today rather than
the lease-lend law"
For his information, I have been as
much concerned about the strike situa-
ton as about the law in question. AS
a fact, have had much to say on the
subject in the past through the press, but
at present. instead Of writing letters to
the papers, have been writing to sew
eral members of the Congress, whom I
know personally, offering some construc-
tive suggestions regarding the matter
and urging that Congress should do
something about it. I regard the stu
alton as intolerable. Labor unions have
set up a super-government, defying the
law, the courts and the Government
itself. They are attempting to destroy
freedom of contract and the right to
work unless one pays tribute to the
unions, which are largely for the benefit
of the racketeers who boss the unions,
thereby denying the constitutional
rights Of the citizen. I am of the opinion
that many Of the strikes, especially in
plants having munition contracts for
the Government, have been inspired by
alien enemies and that the chief OBJ
jective of the unions at this time Is to
socialize the, industries Of the Nation.
