A Promising Proposal

In proposing a Senate inquiry to
determine how many Federal en-
ployes could be transferred from
non-defense to war-related work
during the emergency, Senator Tyd-
ings has directed attention to one
method of relieving governmental
congestion that Federal officials
should have explored thoroughly be-
fore launching their drastic decen-
tralization program. Because little or
nothing has been done along this
line, so far as is known, Senator
Tydings has introduced a resolution
to authorize the Senate Appropria-
tionS Committee to make "a full and
complete investigation of the number
of employees in the various execu-
tive departments and governmental
agencies that can be released from
their normal activities and trans
TERED to, or used by, defense
agencies"
This is an eminently sensible pro-
poSal and one that may open a new
and promising avenue of relief for
the office space crisis in Washington.
A thorough inquiry might we'll re-
veal many Offices which could func-
tion effectively not only with fewer
employees but in less space. These
offices, as their contribution to the
war effort, should release every pos
sible employe and every unneeded
suite of rooms to the vital war
agencies. The latter will benefit by
obtaining experienced workers and
the employees will have the satisfac-
ton OF knowing that they are play
ing an important part in prosecuting
the war. The transferred workers,
moreover, will have no housing prob
lens to worry them and affect their
morale
Because of the urgency of the space
situation, it is to be hoped that the
Senate Appropriations Committee
will report the Tydings resolution
favorably with a minimum OF delay
and that the Senate will authorize
the suggested investigation with
equal promptneSs.

aroused the curiosity of so many
visitors, including air-raid protection
experts, and that the city has had
no blackout test since the latter part
of December.
1t Is only fair to remember that
the local civilian defense organiza-
tion has been seriously handicapped
by lack of funds, by inability to
obtain prompt delivery of certain
equipment (such as satisfactory air
raid warning signals) and by con-
fusion at national headquarters.
These difficulties gradually are
being overcome, however. Fortu-
nately, our enemies so far have
spared us from aerial attack, but
there is no assurance that they will
be so considerate in the future.
Washington cannot afford to relax
vigilance for a minute, nor lag in
preparing for any contingency, for
the war is drawing closer to our
shores with every Axis triumph.
Evening star., 1942-02-12
New Shipping Plan

A high degree of centralized con-
troll over ocean transportation is pro-
vided by President Roosevelt's order
creating the War Shipping Admins
tration, headed by Rear Admiral
Emory S. Land, who for the past
four years has been chairman of the
Maritime Commission.
The authority heretofore vested in
the Maritime Commission by statute
or executive order covering, broadly,
the acquisition and use of merchant
vessels in the war effort now passes
to the new administration, which is
set up within the framework of the
Office of Emergency Management,
the overall war agency directed by
the President. AS administrator,
Admiral Land will represent the
United States in dealings with the
British Ministry of War Transport
and similar shipping agencies of the
United Nations. He also will direct
the ALLEGATION of American vessels
which are being pooled with those
Of the other Allies, to be operated
according to decisions reached by the
Joint Military Strategy Board and
the supply chiefs of the Allies. The
order creating the administration
provides, however, that the admins
traitor shall be guided" by priority
schedules fixed by the chairman of
the War Production Board with re-
spect to the overseas movement of
commodities and materials essential
either for war production or the
civilian economy.
Admiral Land was the logical Sc
lection to head the new organization,
which is aimed at more efficient ship
operation. After distinguished serv-
ice in the Navy covering thirty-nine
years, he was appointed to the Mari
time Commission in 1887, and a year
later, upon the resignation of Jo-
seph P. Kennedy, became chairman.
In that post he has proved to be a
capable administrator, and the prog
ress of the shipbuilding program di-
rected by the commission under his
leadership has been one of the bright
spots of Americas war effort Re-
Gently Admiral Land was able to re-
port to Congress that despite strikes
and other difficulties, the United
States has "the world licked right
now" on construction of standard
cargo ships and tankers.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. Trdce1Dell.

warmth Of their bodies, aided by bill and
claw, they are able to enlarge the hole
sufficiently to get both drink and bath.
Sometimes, especially If the large,
warm starlings are present. they secure
both ends in surprisingly short time.
- ~
The temperature of birds is higher
than that of human beings.
That Is why they need plenty Of
warming foods. such as bread, grains and
seeds, in the winter time.
In spring and summer they do not need
such concentrated foodstuffs
In fall and winter they like nothing
better than the same carbonaceous foods
which give us heat and energy in the
cold.
Since the birds do not have to worry
about growing fat they may eat all they
can hold. and commonly do If they can
get it.
Nature takes care of the birds when it
comes to fat. They do not get fat, mainly
because they cannot overeat Another
reason is the perfect combination Of out
door exercise anQ IreSh air.
Birds are such active creatures, always
on the 60. with reactions keyed to the
necessity for flight at any moment, that
they burn up all their food every day.
You seldom see fat bird.
- -
Grit and water are two necessities
which some Of their human friends forget
in winter.
There probably would be more i'll birds
in cold weather If it were not for the
fact that they can get sand at various
places.
Often they may be seen hopping around
beneath porches which have only earth
under them.
They are after gritty material to use in
the digestion Of their food
They also like dust baths at all times
Of the year.
: 1t is good plan to see that the winter
birds which frequent your garden-if you
put out food for them-are supplied with
dust In the form of some bare spot be-
meath hedge.
This may be supplied by making q
mulch there; that is, the ground should
be stirred up thoroughly for at least an
inch in depth after every time it rains.
This stirring of course, cannot be done
until the dirt is sufficiently dry.
The sparrows in particular like their
dust baths.
If piece Of the flower border in the
sun can be used for this purpose, they
particularly like it.
Be sure that your feathered friends, In
addition to food. have plenty of dust,
sand and water, and you may feel salts
fed that you have done about all you can
for them until spring takes charge of
things.
Evening star., 1942-02-12

An enthusiastic voice was at the other
end Of the telephone.
II want to tell you," he said. "about
my way Of piping water out to the birds.
If you think it is good enough you might
pass it on to your readers.
You see, use a thin copper tube,
one-quarter of an inch in diameter.
II extend 1t out to the bird bath and
let slight trickle Of water run through
it.
Usually this is SUFFICIENT to keep the
water from freezing. but If 1t does
freeze the copper sGands It,"
This enthusiast, who has identified "a
species of birds almost within the city
limits, says that at times he even turns
bit of warm water into the flow.
Several years ago this column carried
a letter from another bird lover, who
similarly piped out warm water from the
overflow of water-cooled refrigerator.
These methods are excellent and are
to be commended.
They do not mean, however, that they
must be initiated by all friends of birds.
Those of us who are not handy with
pipes and the like will find ourselves still
able to keep the birds supplied with
water in winter.
1t is simply matter of seeing that
the bird bath is full and that the ice
Is kept open in it.
This presupposes bath which will not
crack.
If the walls of the bowl have enough
slope to them the expanding ice will not
crack them. 1t will just push out and up,
exerting its force on empty air. as 1t were.
Something Of the same effect may be
secured by seeing to it that the ice Is
kept open in the bowl.
This demands a certain amount OF
care. especially in the evening and early
morning, but it Is worth it.
Birds do not need the entire surface OF
the bowl opened up for them.
They can attend to that themselves II
they can get foothold, or more properly
a bill hold.
Often they find thin place and cut
an opening for themselves. Starlings
though soft-billed birds, are particularly
clever at this.
So when you seek to aid the songsters
in this respect you do not have to take
an ice pick and do" the whole surface
Just hole an inch or two in diameter
is sufficient.

1t Is interesting to watch the early
birds expand their own water hole
They seek, Of course, both water to
drink and to bathe in. They are not
particular.

sary for Congress, in the near
future, to give 1t additional bor-
rowing authority.
BY June 80, 1943, the public debt
will reach $4,000 100000, according
to estimates of the Budget Bureau.
At that time, the interest charges
on the debt will amount to $780,
100000 annually-a greater amount
than the principal of the national
debt when the United States entered
the first World War, and more than
the total expenditures of the Federal
Government in any peace time year
prior to 1917. BY next year, just the
interest on the debt will be equiva-
lent to approximately 500 year for
every man, woman and child in the
country, or $32 year for every adult.
In the light of developments in the
Far East, and the probability of a
new Nazi offensive in Europe this
spring, the United Nations have
little reason to hope for a final
victory as early as 1943. If the war
continues through 1914, our public
debt will rise to $15O,OOO, 900 900, or
more, with annual service charges
of nearly $4,000,0O0,OOO. Such debt
would be extremely burdensome even
if national income remains at level
of 500, ,0OO,0O0,O0O or more annually,
and this burden will be much heavier
if national income, as result of
postwar depression, suffers a pre-
cipitate decline.
Though the country is ready to
pay whatever is necessary to defeat
the Axis, it has the right to demand
that war appropriations be wisely
expended, that unnecessary expen-
ditureS be eliminated, and that the
stricteSt economy be exercised in
non-defense spending AS the debt
rises to unprecedented heights, there
Is no place in Federal finances for
either waste or "boondoggling."
Evening star., 1942-02-12
Public Debt Limit

The disclosure by Secretary Nor
genthau that he will soon ask
Congress either to raise the public
debt limit to $4,000, 900, 900, or
remove the statutory ceiling, pro-
vides another pointed reminder Of
the astronomical cost of the Nations
war effort. BY the end Of this
week. the debt will reach about
$62, ,ooo, 900. 900, only $s ,ooo, ,ooO, 900 less
than its present limit. Though
taxes will yield more revenue than
last year, they will meet only part
of the war bill. Since the Treasury
must continue to borrow large
amounts, 1t will therefore be neces-

another glorious victory.
LEROY s. STRONG.
