His Fathers Son

One of the most notable "upsets" of
the recent elections was that of the
defeat of Leland M. Ford in the six
teenth district of California. He was
q candidate for reelection to the
House of Representatives in which
he had served by mandate of both
the Republican and the Democratic
parties from 1899 onward His friends
and advisers confidently expected
that he would be successful in his
campaign. Instead, he failed.
The explanation, however, is easy
to find. Representative Ford's op-
ponent was Will Rogers, jr., soldier
and the son of one of the best-be-
loved Americans of modern times.
Washingtonians who were acquaint-
ed with the father look forward with
pleasure to meeting the boy. He has
been chosen for the National Legis-
lature by his neighbors at Beverly
Hills-people who watched him
grow out of childhood into maturity
in the household of a practical liberal
philosopher. The theory Of the vot-
ers undoubtedly was that something

Now for the FoIIow-Throuoh

More than one battle has been lost,
which might have been won, by a
failure to follow through. The high
enthusiasm and the fighting spirit
of the original assault sometimes
carry the first waves beyond safe
touch with the support and the sup
plies and instead of moving forward
steadily the advance is halted and
must be reorganized for a fresh
start-a difficult thing to do in the
middle of a fight.
Yesterdays Community War Fund
report luncheon was notable for it's
fine manifestation Of determination
by the volunteer workers not to lose
the benefit Of the momentum which
already has carried them just short
OF the final goal. That goal Is to
reach all of the potential givers in
Washington-to cover the remaining
$4,000 persons who have not yet been
asked to join the 2S6, ,e47 whose con-
trlbutions thus far have been
reported.
Between last Thursday and yester-
day 4l,424 new givers were reached
by campaign workers. II that pace
Is kept now through the final stages
OF the campaign, there will be no
difficulty in reaching the money goal.
So there can be no let-up in efforts
now. This is the time for that extra
push, the follow-through, which will
send the War Fund over the top.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trnce1pell.

The only noise it makes at this time
of year is slight "chirp."
In spring and summer it is said to be
a most melodious singer, but so shy that
not many persons ever hear it.
No less an authority than John Bur-
roughs said of it: Such a dapper, fid-
gety gesticulating bobbing up : and
land -out-and-in little bird, and yet
full of such sweet, wild melody"
Thoreau often did not identify the
birds which he heard, but he put down
the songs so that ornithologists later
could tell which birds he meant.
1t is believed that he heard the winter
wren when he compared song he heard
to "a fine corkscrew stream issuing with
incessant ispirg tinkle, flowing rapidly"
It Is interesting to note that many
observers have likened the song of the
Carolina wren to a musical pinwheel."
This twirling character of bird melody
is a distinct thing Not all birds have it
by any means. The one-time popular
song, The Music Goes Round and
Round" seems to fit it very we'll. 1t is
interesting to see a. note about new
book devoted to the phonograph industry
THE Music Goes Around truly de-
scriptive of phonograph records and
Carolina and winter wren songs.
There is not much that can be done
about Turing this one to bird feeding
station.
1t is not very likely to come, even when
the feeder is put among shrubbery.
Perhaps the best way to make a try at
Turing it is to tie bits of suet to branches
of shrubs. The rhododendron, in par
ticular, is favorite.
Since these evergreens are used princi-
pally at the north side of homes, be on
the watch there for the winter wren.
The character of growth of the rhodo-
dendron gives the bird a splendid oppor-
tunity to demonstrate his ability at dis
appearing before ones very eyes.
1t seems to twist down between one
rosette Of leaves and bob up from behind
another.
AT the same time it flies along in a
horizontal direction, so that when it
SoAAASo uP oSoiil ~ Id ldl W Olle Slue.
A favorite trick of the winter wren is
to look for grit beneath porch. Often it
perches in shrubbery and then just
seems to disappear as if by magic.
1t has literally dropped out of sight
by suddenly twisting beneath the rim of
the porch.
No description can do justice to this
neat trick. 1t really has to be seen to be
appreciated at its full.
Probably no other bird can match this
disappearing act
When the wren suddenly appears again
the observer has to admit to himself that
ne was fooled by splendid natural
magician.

The Voice of Chino

In brief message read at the New
York Herald Tribune Forum last
night, Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek set forth what might be called
China's war and peace aims.
Briefly, for China, he wants
strong central government capable of
directing economic development,
freedom from the bondage of un-
equal treaties" and a lasting end to
the Jealous Vaccinations" of Japan,
Any suggestion that China aspires to
an imperialistic role was emphatically
denied. China" he said, has no
desire to replace western imperialism
In Asia with an Oriental imperialism
or isolationism Of its own or of any
one else"
Chang Kai-shek realizes, however,
that his goals cannot be achieved
unless order is brought into the world
after the war. There will be no last
ing security for any of us, he warned
unless real world cooperation re-
places both isolationism and i'm
perialism of whatever form in the
new inter-dependent world of free
nations. And, he added, the time to
begin the organization of this new
order is now. ITO make that start"
he declared, 1--WE must begin today
and not tomorrow to apply these
principles among ourselves even at
some sacrifice to the absolute powers
Of our individual countries"
At first glance this last observation
might seem at variance with the
position of the British government.
This is not necessarily So however,
for the generalissimo seems to recog-
nize that the empire problem is not
to be solved simply by cutting the
colonies adrift What he advocates
Is that start be made toward the
reorganization of the world: and,
although opinions may differ as to
the precise nature of this beginning,
there will be few to dissent from his
main thesis.
On the whole, his message reflects
a degree of vision and understanding
which will be needed in the world of
tomorrow. 1t serves to confirm what
was already known--that the leader
of China's millions is statesman as
we'll as soldier Of the first rank

W. & o. D. Service

Residents Of Northern Virginia who
have been campaigning for some
months for resumption of passenger
service on the Washington and Old
Dominion Railroad now have an ex-
pert's report to substantiate their
claim that there is sufficient potential
passenger load to justify such a step.
The expert, Colonel Noten D. Ballan-
tine, a transportation consultant, was
careful to qualify his recommended
ton, however, by suggesting that
service be resumed on an expert
mental basis and over only part of
the line.
The recent history of the w. g. O.
D. reflects Americas sudden shift in
methods of transportation. In pre-
war, unrationed America, passenger
traffic dwindled on small railroads
such as the w. & O. D.. which op-
crates fifty-two miles of trackage
from Rosslyn to Purcellville with
spur line from Bluemont junction to
Alexandria. For the last three
months OF its operation it's passenger
revenue was reported as $14.77 a day.
This compared with $3.50 a day in
1929. Little wonder the Virginia State
Corporation Commission authorized
passenger service discontinued in
April. 1941
In the intervening nineteen months,
the transportation picture has
changed. The use Of private auto
mobiles, which furnished most of the
competition to such railroads as the
w. & o. d. has been sharply cur
tailed. Every effort is being made to
reduce bus mileage to a minimum.
Passenger traffic, as far as possible, is
returning to rails.
In his report on personal inspec-
ton trip which he made on the rail-
road last September, Colonel Ballan-
tine makes the charge that he found
distractions were deliberately placed
on the tracks. He suggests that this
may reflect the feelings of the gen.
eral public in respect to the railroads
attitude toward the resumption of
passenger service" The company's
attitude is termed completely cold"
and Colonel Ballantine added that
the firm, if"left to itself will take no
steps to that end" w. g. o. D.
officials, however, claim there never
has been an effort to sabotage their
operations.
Those pushing the move for restora-
ton of passenger service have formed
the Committee for Emergency Trans
portation for Northern Virginia,
headed by John S. Brookes, jr. The
| committee has, In the Ballantine re-

port, the facts it needs to renew It's
plea for restoration of service before
the sec. That body is Influenced by
civic sentiment, as evidenced by the
fact that twice it postponed the
termination of w. e. o. D. passenger
service at the insistence of Mrs. Nellie
Fletcher, spokesman for the train
riders.
If, as Colonel Ballantine suggests,
it is possible for the w. g. o. D. to
obtain passenger coaches on rental
basis from a Northern railroad, the
sec would have reason to take
prompt and favorable action on the
proposal that service be resumed on
trial basis over that portion of the
road from Rosslyn to Leesburg.

JUMPING Jeepers

Lest there be any doubt about the
merit of American war material,
hark to a record recently established
by one of our jeeps. While not made
under actual war conditions, still its
highly informal, we-didnt-plan-it-
that-way, off-the-record test was
distinctly impressive. The jeep's
four occupants, when about to be
struck by freight train at grade
crossing, evidently did not themselves
realize the ability of their vehicle to
take it on the chassis. They jumped.
So did the jeep, when the train hit it,
The quartet of soldiers felt rather
sheepish when, after the jeep had
landed, they climbed into it and
drove away.
OF course, the jeep is not perfect.
The train escaped, and according to
a railway communique, damage to
the locomotive was described as only
minor. Its disqualification at the
nearest repair shop should be COM
pleted soon, and under the tender
care of those Florence Nightingales
of the rails-boilermakers and rivet-
ers-it will mote again in the not far
distant future. The jeep is now in
the North African stage of develop
ment; much has been done, but
much remains to be done. When the
jeep's offensive power has been de-
veloped to the point where it becomes
a sure-f1re, hundred per cent train
buster, so that locomotives snort and
puff in terror at the mere sight of
one mile OF, then. and only then,
will it be time to brag with the reins
on.

"TAKOMA PARK, Md,

Dear Sir:
There was a small bird in the shrub
berry outside our dining room window,
and knew that you would know what
it is, but you were not there, of course,
and so am writing to you about it.
1T was very wren-like, but rather
small, and know the regular house wren
Is not here at this time. thought at
first it might be the Carolina wren, but
it did not have the white streak through
the eye.
This bird carried its short tail amaz-
ingly erect, much more so than the regu-
lar wren.
Il would appreciate very much if you
could tell me what wren this is. Before
could get good look at it In the shrubs
it just seemed to vanish.
Sincerely, NJ j. L."
This bird is the winter wren.
1t is much more common than many
persons think, because of its elusiveness.
Few birds can drop out of sight right
before the eyes, as we'll as the winter
wren.
One moment it will be perched in plain
sight, the very next it will be gone.
1t achieves this effect by dropping
down among the leaves
No doubt this is helpful in escaping
enemies, particularly the hawks.
X
Winter Wrens appear here sometimes
IN late September but generally in Octo-
ber, and they remain until May.
Common names given them in various
parts of the country are wood wren,
mouse wren and short tailed wren.
THESE give good description of the
bird in general terms
There is indeed, something mouse like
IN the appearance of this wren, and
especially in the way 1t can drop out of
sight, even though the observer knows
it still is there.
Regional varieties of this wren are
found in the Far North. One of these is
the Aleutian or Attu wren, names which
recently have come much into the war
news.
Y
Our winter wren has about the Stub
best tail of any bird.
1t carries it very far forward.
1t does not have the white stripe
through the eye, as does the Carolina
wren, another winter resident here
abouts.
There Is stripe, however, Of pale
buff
Closely viewed, the winter wren is
seen to have small brown dots, almost
like beads, on the wings.
These easily are seen if the bird is lust
outside window.

The Dorian Incident

1t is unfortunate that the military
arrangement made in North Africa
with Admiral Darlan has been
twisted into political issue. But
since this has been done, the whole
matter ought to be examined care
fully from every side.
Wendell WILKES comments are
representative of the critical view
point. According to him, this is an
example of 'our State Departments
appeasement of Vichy"-the same
policy which paved the way for the
occupation of North Africa quickly
and with little loss of life. AS Mr..
Wlllkie sees it, it is "the utmost
folly-it is just short of suicide-to
take the position that citizens of any
country should hold their tongues for
fear OF causing distress to the imme-
dlate and sometimes tortuous poll
cies of their leaders"
But what are these policies, and
who shaped them? Directing the
North African campaign is Lieuten-
ant General Dwight D. Eisenhower,
an American of highest caliber.
upon him has rested the RESPONSE
olllty OF directing the North African
campaign, and the further RESPONSE
blllty-to which no one can be in
sensible-of conserving the lives of
the soldiers he commands. In dis
charging this responsibility, he has
entered into what the President calls
temporary and expedient arrange
ment with Admiral Darlan.
General Eisenhower knows the
problem at first hand. He is familiar
with the temper of the French people
and the French soldiers, both in
France and Africa. He also knows
the attitude of the Arabs. In these
circumstances, having been called
upon to conduct the attack, he has
deemed it advisable to enter into a
temporary arrangement with Admiral
Darlan. Certainly, from the military
standpoint at least, it has proved to
be of the greatest value. The occu-
patton went forward quickly and
smoothly. Unquestionably the lives
OF thousands of soldiers-American
British and French-have been
spared. Because we were able to
avoid an all-out fight to establish
our initial landings, we have been
able to meet the enemy on something
like even terms in vital Tunisia. Had
we been held up in Algeria the Ger
mans and Italians might now be
firmly established in Tunisia. and we
would be faced with a much harder
and bloodier fight.
THESE are some of the things that
may be said in justification of the
policy adopted by General Eisen-
hover, with the approval of the
President. Perhaps these considera-
tlons, In the eyes of some persons,
will fall short of conclusively justify
Ing the course which has been fol-
lowed. But they should be sufficiently
persuasive to give pause to those who,
although not knowing the facts, not
having the responsibility and not
being on the scene of action, still see
no reason to refrain from causing
distress to the immediate policies of
our leaders.
