Holds Parents Responsible
For Children's MisbehaviOr.

To the Editor of The Star.
The experience of Mrs. Appleton P.
Clark, jr., as related in her letter to
The Star of August 25 interested me as I
have had somewhat of the same trouble,
but on smaller scale.
A presiding Judge" who simply cau-
toned boys who had stolen fruit and
destroyed private property with Don't
do it again" should be relieved of his
office.
Parents are very largely responsible
for the actions of their children and
should be fined when their children take
up thieving.
Some time ago I was driving in Otis
street NV when suddenly stone came
through my windshield and piece of
glass hit me an inch above the eye.
I saw the culprit try to hide behind q
pile of gravel in the street, but I
obtained his name from other boys
nearby. An officer went to his home
with me and informed his mothe~ that
she must pay the bill for new wind
shield. That boy is not likely to throw
more stones that cost his mother $3.50!
1t is rather astonishing that some
parents do not instruct their children to
respect the property of others. "The rod
and reproof give wisdom, but child left
to himself ,bringeth his parents to
shame. Proverbs, xxix.15.

Labor and the WPB

In deciding whether he will grant
labor's demand for greater represen-
tation on the War Production Board,
Chairman Donald Nelson should be
guided by a single consideration
whether such step would help or
hinder the war effort. And in max
ing that determination, he neces-
sarily must take into account the
manner in which labor leaders have
handled the responsibilities already
intrusted to them.
Labor spokesmen held a meet
ing with WPB officials Tuesday to
voice their demands. In the course
of the discussions, newspapermen
were given access to a labor resolu-
ton, the preamble of which said:
IF the production program con-
tinues as in the past, in six months
we will have ships without engines,
tanks in the snow without guns, our
troops stranded without guns and
tanks, steel mills operating at three
fourthS capacity" In other words,
If this statement were to be taken
at its face value, we are faced with
the prospect of a virtual breakdown
in war production. But, because it
is a gross eXaggeration of the true
picture, it is not to be taken at face
value, and the labor representatives
themselves voted to strike it out of
the resolution-after it had been
made public. The net result of this
procedure is that the people have
been given an incorrect impression
of the Nations war program by
group Of labor spokesmen who do not
stand on their own criticisms, but
who, nevertheless, contend that they
ought to be given an authoritative
voice in the direction of the pro-
gram. This, certainly, is one aspect
of the matter that should be taken
into consideration by Mr.. Nelson
when he determines what his re-
SponSe to their demand shall be.
Another factor to be considered is
the manner In which labor has
| handled It's end Of the production

| Dear Sir:
I'VE have a new bird the first time I
have seen it, 1t is reddish brown, with
| sort of white stripes on the side of its
| head. If it wasn't so large would think
it wren, but it is larger than any wren
l have ever seen.
| This bird keeps hanging around, but
we do not know what to feed it. 1t
| perches in big shrub we have near the
! porch, but will not come out, and flies
away If disturbed.
Il would like to know what to feed
this so that we could keep it around
here, If possible. 1t is very fine looking
bird, and I would like to know what it is.
Very truly yours, E. R. Med"
~ 4 X
This bird is the Carolina wren.
Somewhat larger than the house wren,
and much prettier in coloration, it is a
special guest of many homes.
Although it is regarded as a perma-
nent resident, it is more often looked
upon by bird lovers as a migrant, since
1t appears just at certain times of the
year.
This is the accepted time, in many
gardens. If you hear very loud, cheer
full song, which gives you the mental
impression of going around, like a mu-
sical pinwheel, you may be sure it is a
Carolina wren.
The year 1918, justly famous for the
end OF World War I, is also the year when
this flne bird was almost exterminated
hereabouts, owing to severe storm.
Since then 1t is recovered, much to the
delight of all persons who appreciate the
value of bird life.
The birds nest as early as April II, and
usually again sometime In June.
1t is the largest of the wrens, and
often may be identified by this alone.
If you see what impresses you as large
wren, feel pretty sure that 1t is the Caro-
lima species
1t is a wonderful singer, having sew
eral distinct melodies, one of which has
been put down in words as Sweetheart
sweetheart-sweet." 1t is really too bad
that so many of the bird songs strike
listeners as saying sweet" etc.
1t gives feminine complexion to bird
life which it utterly lacks.
Il r
Other interpretations of the Carolina
wren's song make it freedom. free
dom, free dom" and ''jo-reeper, jo-reep-
err jo-reeper"
Another is "tea-keetle, tea-keetle, tea
kettle"
Evening star., 1942-08-27
THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. TraceDell.

F, In at least one home this wren Is
known as the tea-kettle bird.
We like best the "jo-reeper," since 1t
best gives the whirling character Of the
| usual song. and at the same time intro
duces no human idea.
After all, the bird has no mental pic
ture of freedom, though it possesses it,
and certainly no idea of tea kettle.
Some people call this the mocking
wren, owing to its wide range of song,
and it's habit of imitation.
In singing it goes through all the an
tics of a catbird.
He also sings at night.
South Carolina has adopted this bird
as its State bird
Whether 1t is true or not we do not
know, but the Carolina wren, in distinc-
ton from its cousin, the house wren, is
said to be inseparable from its mate
until death.
The house wren, on the other hand, Is
a great deal of bigamist He will take
up with another mate even during the
nesting season-and so will she.
X
The Carolina wren does not seem to
take bath and so cannot be attracted
by bird bath in the garden
In the fall it will eat berries from
shrubs. Most of the year it gets It's food
of the bark of trees and in this way
helps the trees and helps keep down the
insect enemies of man.
They are not likely to visit bird feeding
stations, but just on an off chance 1t
might be well to put out some meal
worms These may be secured by the
thousand at pet shops or grown in old
meal.
1t is curious bird. liking to peer at
things, and so may be intrigued by an
open door or window.
Those who have thus been hosts to
the bird claim that it Is a very nice
guest, not being In the least afraid.
Like all wrens it does a great deal Of
gesticulation with its TAIL
A story told OF Carolina wrens is that
farmer hung grape basket high in
the barn and in it put two sticks Of
dynamite to keep them out of harms
way
When he went to get the explosive he
found Carolina wren nesting on it.
He removed the dynamite, but the bird
flew away and would not come back,
deserting her eggs.
In the South 1t is valued as destroyer
of the cotton boil weevil.
Hereabouts we know it only as a fine
garden resident. all the more valued
because 1t is not as common as Jenny
Wren.

tob-how 1t has met its responsibility
to avoid strikes and slowdowns
which interfere with the output of
ships, engines, tanks and guns. The
labor representatives who met with
MIR. Nelson were quite outspoken in
their condemnation of the alleged
shortcomings of the men who make
the policy decisions at WPB. And in
a statement issued at Philadelphia,
r. j. Thomas, president of the UAW.
denounced Mr.. Nelson in intemper-
ate language for falling to clean

placed their loyalty to corporate in
terests above the interests of the

men saw fit to comment on the man.
ner in which organized labor has
kept, or failed to keep, the no-strike
pledge given at the start of the war.
This policy Of diverting attention
from ones own shortcomings by at
tacking the other fellow may be all
right in normal times, but, in this
period of war, there can be little
doubt that the public would be more
impressed with the complaints
against WPB if labor's own house had
been kept in better order.
1t is against this background that
Mr.. Nelson, while emphasizing his
belief in labor participation "in the
task of winning the war" and invit-
ing the labor representatives to sub
NIT specific proposals to him later
this week, nevertheless insists that
the Governments war production
program must be run by the Gov
ernment, and not by labor groups
or by management groups. That is
the proper attitude for him to take,
and it will be indorsed by the great
majority of the people who are con-
cerned with winning the war, and
not with maneuvers intended to
gain new power for one group or to
clip the wings of some other group.

Bearing Arms and VOTING

Regardless OF the fate of amend
ments waving poll tax payments
and other conditions of voting in
the States, Senate action Tuesday
In sending the so-called soldier
vote" bill to conference is intended
to assure men and women in the
service, no matter where they are
stationed throughout the world, that
they will be able to vote in national
elections.
This exercise of their privilege as
American citizens is In accord with
the high principles they are defend
ing in uniform, and is altogether ap-
propriate. But what contrast it
offers between the rights of Amer
leans who live in the States and
those who live in the District of
Columbia!
Men and women from Washing
ton are serving in and out of uni
form wherever Americans are serv-
ing in this war. The statistics on
volunteers are for the present a
military secret. But Washingtonians
have filled their draft quotas in Sc
lective service and If history repeats
they will exceed their quotas as
volunteers.
To preserve the Union in the War
Between the States the first volun-
teers came from Washington, and
Washingtonians supplied a greater
percentage of troops in excess of
quota than almost any State of the
Union. In the war with Spain
Washington sent fine regiment to
Cuba, exceeding its quota in num-
bers. And in the first World War
the total volunteers from the Dis
trict exceeded the number of volun-
teers from eight of the States COM
bined. Only five of the States
exceeded, in ratio of volunteers to
total enlistments, the World War
record established by the District
of Columbia.
Men and women from all the
States now serving in the armed
forces took part, in theory, in the
enactment of laws which governed
their service. They are citizens in
a Government which directly couples
the right of representation with the
duty of bearing arms in time of
war. But for the Washingtonian,
the highest privilege of the citizen
casting his vote-is denied; the
highest duty of citizen-to bear
arms in defense in his country-is
demanded in full and is Loyalty given.
There is ugly irony in the fact that
when men and women in the armed
services are called upon to vote next
November the only ones forbidden to
respond will be those whose homes
are in the Capital of the United
States, the Nation which has as
sumed the major role in preserving
democratic principles of govern
ment in the world to come.

Personnel Truininq

In urging Government agencies
generally to inaugurate training
courses for the purpose of insuring
an adequate force of competent
stenographers and typists, the Civil
Service Commission has made Sug-
gestion that should be needed. For
several months the demand for
personnel of this sort has exceeded
the supply, and it now seems likely
that the various establishments must
come to rely more on efficient opera
ton and less on mass recruiting to
meet their needs. In number of
instances, the commission points
out, training courses have been pro-
ductive of beneficial results, both as
to quantity and quality of work, and
on the basis of this experience it is
evident that much more attention
should be paid to this feature.
At the same time, however, the
commissions action reveals an out
standing weakness in the personnel
policy pursued by the Government
since the arms program was started
more than two years ago. The force
has been more than doubled in that
time, and now is we'll over the 2,000,-
600 mark. Thousands upon thou
sands OF clerical workers have been
added, but it has been only in recent
months that thought has been given
to providing the training for the
newcomers that would make for
more efficient operation, and then
only on a. limited scale. The prin-
cipal emphasis has been placed on
hiring. Responsible administrative
ofiicials have admitted that the best
use was not being made Of available
manpower, but there the matter has
rested.
Congress shortly will be dealing
With the personnel situation when
considering the Tydings bill to IA
eilitate the transfer OF employees
from non-war to war work. That
will afford an excellent opportunity
to explore the entire subject, and
decide what steps are advisable to
effect improvement. The greatest
