their lives so that their countrymen
can continue, on election day, to
exercise q freedom" But as for
voting, they. are not classed with
their comrades in arms of a proud
democracy. They are treated as if
they were convicts, aliens or the
insane. And at home they have no
trustees to vote for them in the
choice of a Congress that will "help
bring their gallant efforts to speedy
and victorious conclusion"
There are many fine appeals being
made today for American citizens to
exercise the right of free men and
vote. But until the freedom of the

Capital of this free land, these ap-
peals will always contain a note of

Mr.. kreisIer's Return

Thousands of Americans will be
pleased with the news that Fritz
Kreisler is returning to the concert
stage. He is perhaps the greatest of
all living musicians. Authoritative
critics have awarded him the title of
the most notably competent of all
masters of the violin. Certainly
there can be no question about the
degree of his popularity among all
classes of people the world around.
His records, his compositions, and
especially his personal appearance
tours have made him known to a
universal public. He has been at
once an artist for artists and a be-
loved idol to the populace. The ex-
planation lies in his genius-and in
his sensitiveness, his modesty, his
generosity, his gentle charm.
/. On April 26, 1941, Mr.. Kreisler was
run down by truck in New York
Photographs of him as he lay on
the sidewalk awaiting an ambulance
were reproduced in hundreds of
newspapers and brought to their
readers a sense of fear that his
career was ended. During the next
several weeks he was at the point of
death again and again, but surgical
and medical skill, careful nursing
and the devoted attention of his wife
restored him to health. On May %
he called for his violin, "only to look
at it,; on June he played a few
bars Of Mendelssohn; on June 16 he
was permitted to leave the hospital;
on November he let it be known
that, although he was much i'm
proved" he did not believe himself
equal to a professional engagement
Then came Pearl Harbor and the dis
location of all civilian affairs. Mr..
Kreisler disappeared in the con-
fusion.
But war does not destroy the in
stinct in q nation which calls for
music. Rather, a season OF crisis Il
characterized invariably by the sud-
den development Of . new and more

Salary Ceilings

After failing to enlist congressional
ssupport for his $25 900 salary limita-
ton plan, the President has attained
shis objective through the medium of
regulations issued by James F..
Byrnes, director of economic sta
bilization.
r The character of this undertaking
scan best be determined by an exami-
Anation of what it accomplishes.
Since person would have to receive
"a salary in excess of $67 200 in any
event to be affected, very few will
come within the scope of the provi-
ssion. The Treasury. estimates their
number at about 10000, but on the
basis of earlier salary figures it may
be considerably smaller. Whatever
the total, however, it is clear that the
move has little If any validity as an
anti-inflation measure.
: Nor can it stand on its own feet
AS a revenue-raising plan. Estimates
as to the total net increase in revenue
vary, but with income tax rates as
high as they are in the upper salary
brackets, the probabilities are that
the Government would have received
almost as much revenue from the
persons affected by the order as it
will get on the difference between
their old and new incomes from their
employers.
In view of these considerations it
is difficult to avoid the conclusion
that the primary purpose of the
$4,000 ceiling is political in charac-
ter, and not related in any legitimate
sense to the prosecution of the war.
It is also pertinent to consider
some of its clearly undesirable
aspects. Outstanding among these Is
the fact that the order penalties the
man who earns his income while
favoring those whose incomes are not
earned, since the latter are not
affected at all. To a considerable
extent, of course, this inequity will
be overcome by the tax laws, which
bear down very heavily on income
from any source. But the fact re-
mains that the requirement dis
eliminates against those who, pre-
sumably because of exceptional abil-
lty, heretofore have earned large
salaries.
1t also seems inevitable that the
top limitation on salaries, coupled
with the restraints imposed on
changes In smaller salaries, will in
tensify the great confusion which
already grips official Washington
and will lead to the creation of a
large new bureaucracy to be sup
ported at public expense. From the
bewilderment already in evidence, it
is apparent that this involved order
Is going to be unintelligible to great
many persons. Yet if any one vio-
lates it-and the violation will be
determined by some bureaucrat from
whose finding of fact there is no
appeal-the individual is subject to
heavy penalties.

best, just as the last peaches are the
sweetest.
Such an October as this one has been!
It is seldom that we have an October
with three thunderstorms in it.
One sound sleeper rolled over and
leaped out of bed.
'Tl1e Japs!" he cried.
But it was just Mother Nature, In one
of her odd moods.
How salutary, even in her mischief, is
Nature. compared with the destructive
ness of man! Even the most violent
thunderstorm kills only few people. A
bomb can kill and MAIN hundreds, even
thousands.
There are few persons left, we believe,
who would insist that the weather has
not changed.
For several years there was a DISPOSE
ton on the part of naturally argumenta-
tive persons to say, every time they got
chance, that "the weather" had not
changed, that it was just the same as
it always had been. In recent years we
hear no more Of that; everybody is will
ing to admit that the old steady course
OF the seasons has disappeared. and in
its stead there Is a vagary unknown be-
fore in weather matters. We have sum-
mer in April, and April's showers In May;
we experience snowstorms before or after
usual seasons, and have our thunder
storms long after the season for them is
over.
The National Geological Park is one of
the best places to 60 for the study of
birds and trees.
There are many by-paths in the park
where Nature is as unspoiled as ever.
These paths are truly rural, yet have
been worn down SO over the years that
they offer little resistance to timid feet.
The feeling of protection which women
and children feel in the park permits
them to enter whole heartedly into the
study of the birds, without fear from
any source
This means that the entire time can
be given to the study. There are as
many species of birds to be found there
as in the greater Rock Creek Park itself.

for many are drawn by the odor of the
animals, and the prospect of getting
some of their food.
We have often seen sparrows eating
In the straw at the feet of elephants.
The traditional picture of the elephant
and the mouse is no more interesting
than that of the elephants and the SPAR
rows.
The birds seem in no danger, and
utterly without fear as they hop around
the great feet.
The animals in the cages and inclo.
sures are perpetual source of interest
especially to newcomers, but there are
many birds, and some animals outside
including the fast-moving chipmunks
These are to be found largely along the
rocky staircase that leads down from the
| Adams Mill road entrance.
| Few animals in the cages are any more
interesting than the chipmunks. Fo,
sheer beauty and grace, there is scarcely
an animal which can outdo this small
creature.

Reports Arrest for Walking
Against Lights at l AM.

To the Editor of The Star:
Last Sunday morning, october Is, at
l am, I was coming home from work
and transferred at Eighth and H streets
NE. If I miss the street car at this
time have to walk to Seventeenth
street, and as I customarily have been
on my feet all day and half the night,
and being 60 years old, don't like to
miss this car.
On this particular Sunday morning
saw the car waiting at the corner
and as I crossed to board it, the light
changed when was in the middle Of
the street, and just as 1 was about ready
to get on the car, policeman arrested
me, claiming had gone against the
lights. I told him I wanted that car,
for If didn't take it, I would have
to walk, as I had done several times
in the past; but while I was talking to
him the car pulled out, and also two
other cars which followed, and they were
the last cars for an hour. The trafnc
lights also stopped while was talking
to him. Had been minute later there
would have been no lights and no cars
either.
The policeman said would have to
pay fne. I offered to walk with him
to the Ninth street station which was
only three blocks distant, but he said he
was too tired as he had walked for eight
hours. told him had been on my
feet over II hours that day and I was
much older than he was, but he called
patrol wagon. A large crowd gathered
to watch me being rudely showed into
the patrol wagon, and I suppose every
one thought was desperate criminal.
This never happened to me before in
my life. felt extremely humiliated.
It Is no doubt necessary to arrest
people who deliberately disobey = police
mans trafnc signals, or 60 with the
wrong light, in heavy trafnc, but ct

1t is true that in time of conflict

returns to his work as a servant Of

he has been a creative endowment.

No Freedom to Exercise

Speaker Rayburn made an eloquent
appeal, in his National Radio Forum
address. Wednesday evening, for the
voters to 60 to the polls next week
and exercise freedom" There is a
special reason for voting this year,
the Speaker said, for while the SOL
diers have the right to vote, many
Of them for practical reasons will be
unable to do so. LAS we are the
trustees Of their freedom we
have special obligation to choose
a Congress which will help bring
their gallant efforts to q speedy and
victorious conclusion" :.
Among the soldiers, however, are
those who cannot exercise q free

They are the soldiers whose homes
are in Washington. In other re-
spects they are like other soldiers.
