Science Looks Ahead
From the Topeka Capital.

FROM the Topeka Capital
Out of the mouths of babes" per-
haps are the scientific speculations of a
group of teen-age Americans who re-
Gently participated in Nationwide re-
stir the imagination and help point the
way to mankinds future progress.
Forty young people, selected from
among $4,000 high school seniors to COM
pete for science scholarships. wrote pa
pers on such intriguing subjects as the
feasibility of obtaining power from earth
heat, of using atomic power and Of in
terplanetary flight.
A Philadelphia boy is convinced that
there are great possibilities in tapping
the heat which lies beneath the surface
of the earth and harnessing it for hu-
man use. But the deepest boring man
has yet made into the earth extends
only about miles down, he points out.
What is needed, he believes, is a single
shaft going down IL miles. Since the
deeper the shaft is sunk the higher the
temperature, one of the first problems
to overcome would be that of finding
suitable materials for shaft lining and
boring tools.
To those who scoff, it can be pointed
out that subterranean heat is already
being used to produce power. n COM
munity in California now uses volcanic
steam to generate all the electricity 1t
needs.

The French Underground

There was no quiet in France on
Armistice Day. The patriots we're
busy. The underground was alert.
The Resistance Movement was in
full swing. According to one re-
port - perhaps exaggerated - as
many as 800 persons were killed in
rioting at Grenoble and Lyons.
France is never quiet in these
days. It grows more and more
restive, more and more difficult to
handle. more and more active
against the Nazi occupiers and their
cringing collaborationists. The news
from there has taken on a pattern
all its own-a pattern of patriotic
violence steadily increasing in scale
and tempo. Daily, in one part of the
country or another or in several
parts at the same time, the railroads
are sabotaged, German soldiers die
sudden deaths. buildings are blown
up. prisoners of the Laval regime
mysteriously escape. and Vichyites,
big and little, are constantly in fear
OF being shot down.
The French patriots responsible
for this are anonymous. but they
are many, and their ranks do not
stop growing. They belong to the

are factions among them, they are
all one in love of country. And
they are one in a flaming desire to
rid their land of the hated invader
and make 1t free again. swept clean
of the betrayers. Nor is there much
that the Laval regime can do to
hold them in check. for the people
OF France, including many members
Of the police. are in collusion with
them, waiting for the day when they
can all rise together and strike a
great common blow for liberty.
That day is coming. 1t is coming
as surely as the British and the
Americans and the troops under
General Giraud are preparing for
new invasions of Europe. And when
it comes, the. underground, these
nameless heroes who have never lost
heart, these true sons of France who
refused to surrender even in the
darkest hours. will be in the fore
front OF the liberating forces, a
mighty band of free men whose
place in history will be lasting, large
and glorious.

TO the Editor of The Star:
We should like to express our appre-
citation of your interest in the Dodec-
anese as evidenced by your editorial
Cos" The history of the Dodecanese
is we'll known-its unfortunate past as
part OF the Italian empire
BY her capitulation in September,
Italy surrendered to the United Ma

the Dodecanese by Italy. and restored
the legal status of the Dodecanese as

These agreements to which Italy, too,
was signatory, awarded the islands to
Greece to whom they are bound by
race, language, religion and culture.

Symbol and Symbolism

It is barely possible that there are
other matters before Congress today
which are more important. But,
important or not, the nuisance bill
to require that all bicycles in WASH
ington be taxed, tagged and periodi-
cally inspected is a symbol and as
such deserves some examina ton. It
is a symbol of the Unsuitable desire
to legislate new tax. Any expert
enced taxpayer will dry his tears
long enough to tell you that a tax
always grows. never diminishes. It
is a symbol of the tendency to add
people to the public payroll. AS
every one knows, one clerk on a
payroll becomes two clerks in no
time at all. 1t is a symbol of that
curious ambition, with which some
people were born, to license and in
spect, inspect and license. This bill
being symbol. it would be a fine
thing If the committees which have
1t in charge on Capitol Hill could
take action which also would be
symbolic, engrave upon it the picture
OF turning worm and eonsign it to
some pigeonhole. There it could rest
undisturbed until the war is over
and the people are ready to have an
entirely new set Of annoyances sub
stituted for the ones they have now.
This action could appropriately
come under the head of postwar
planning, for which there is demon
strable need.

Sincerely yours, B. B. G."
Our correspondent will find that bread
or doughnuts will lure the mockingbird
almost as well as raisins.
The only trouble with them, as bird
food, is that they, also will attract the
starlings.
Starlings are not bad birds. As guests
at bird feeding stations they are not
among the best, but where was there
ever free lunch" where there were
not some ill-bred guests?
Some people regard English sparrows
as very rowdy. We have never been
able to join this viewpoint. At feeding
station there is room for all sorts of
creatures.
One cannot expect nice birds" only.
Even at the swellest affair, there will
always be some Doors.
Sometimes these people are perfectly
groomed, and so sure of themselves that
evidently it never occurs to them that
their very attitude is i'll bred.
And so with the birds.
1t is impossible to ask of them that
they all be as happy and good as wood
thrushes
Jostling sparrows are only doing what
many people do, afer all.
If any one doesn't believe this, let him
try to get onto a bus
The young starlings, in particular, are
interesting birds.
An apple cut in two and placed on
the window sill will draw both starlines
and mockingbirds.
The latter can handle starlings easily.
The halves OF apple are best held
down on a nail
Young starlings are splotched with all
sorts Of colors. which are easily seen in
reflected light.
THESE colors are the sort known as
electric. AS the bird moves, the colors
change, and disappear, and come again.
The larger bird books become easier
to handle on acquaintance
The thing to do with them is to spend
half day with them, every now and
then, or take time out each day, say at
least half an hour, to look them over.
One Of the best is three volumes bound
in one, without any tabs to show the
division of the volumes. Only real
acquaintance with this book will enable
one to handle it easily.
Large books are best placed on table.
with a chair drawn up. Trying to
handle such books on the lap is like
holding so-pound dog. 1t may be
done. but not very we'll, and certainly
not comfortably.
A real acquaintance with a reference
book makes its handling much easier.
and certainly great deal more
profitable.

One-Mun Cars

The Public Utilities Commission
majority is consistent in authorizing
conversion of streetcars for one
man operation, despite its record of
opposition in the past Basis for this
opposition, for which there was
plenty OF support from the citizens
groups, was the contention that con-
verted streetcars, operated by one
man. tend to slow down the service.
1t was feared. moreover. that if the
company had free rein in converting
old streetcars for one-man opera
ton, the economies thus offered
would delay acquisition of new
equipment
Today, of course, the situation has
changed entirely. The company has
bought and is buying all the new
equipment it can contract for. It's
pressing problem now is a shortage
OF operating manpower which may
continue to grow worse and for
which there seems no really work
able remedy. 1t has been suggested
that the employment of Negroes as
platform men would make available
new source OF supply. But those
who belabor the company for it's
alleged refusal to tap this source
seem Intentionally to overlook the
real source Of opposition. which lies
with the employees rather than with
the company or the public. That
opposition may be expected to de-
crease with the development of
mutual respect and gradual change
IN customs and habits OF thought.
The strength of custom. Incl
dentally. as a bar to new departures
has been shown in the company's
efforts to employ women as streetcar
and bus operators. After a concen-
trated advertising campaign some
months ago, only about twenty now
are employed. with a trickle, rather
than stream, of new applica tions.
Other cities have been far more sue
cessful. Washington's nonindus-
trial background, however, with rela-
lively so few women employed in
manual tasks and with less exacting
work easily available in the Govern
ment. has made it surprisingly diff
cult to attract women to a type of
work, even with higher pay, that still
is regarded as novel.
The conversion of one-man cars is
an emergency expedient, to last only
so long as the demonstrated neces-
sity for it exists.

We regret the current unfortunate

press reports, was found by the sub
committee OF the Senate District Com
mittee.
Instead of changing personnel. we
believe conditions could be corrected bv
proper appropriations, with the neces-
sary priorities by the War Production
Board. Among other things a new
kitchen is needed to replace the present
one which, built to serve 300 is now
carrying load of over 1000 for three
meals a day-surely an intolerable sit
uation.
We hope the opportunity will be given

cording to the press, have not been pre-
sented before the subcommittee of the

Enemy Strength

AL ICCCHG dppCdA dlACCS UClUIc
closed sessions of House and Senate
committees, Major General George
v. Strong, assistant chief of staff in
charge of military intelligence, gave
picture of the armed strength Of
Germany and Japan which is con-
siderably at variance with the popu-
lar notion that our enemies are on
the verge of collapse.
General Strong's testimony was
published only in part. Hence, it
is possible that the portion which
has come to public attention may
not be an entirely accurate reflection
OF his views. For instance, he was
reported as saying that despite heavy
losses, the German air force is large,
than it was in 1889. This does not
seem to jibe with a statement made
last month by General Henry H.
Arnold, chief of the Army Air Corps,
that the Luftwaffe had been whitfield
down to point where the Nazis had
fewer than 1000 fighting planes
ready for service. If General Arnold
was talking about fighter" planes in
the conventional sense, his statement
may not be at odds with that made
by General Strong. But II he was
talking about combat planes in gen.
eral, as seems to have been the case,
the two comments would appear to
be irreconcilable, for the Germans
certainly had far more than 1000
combat planes ready for service in
1899.
These conflicts, or seeming con-
flicts, are relatively unimportant,
however. The significant thing is
that General Strong, who has at his
flngertips the most dependable in
formation available, does not share
the belief that Germany and Japan,
In military sense, are ready for the
knockout blow The picture which
he gives of Germany is that OF
dangerous and resourceful enemy
which has the means to fight on for
months, II it has the will to fight.
And Japan, he says, is growing
stronger, despite heavy losses in
f1icted by the Allies. In brief, the
japanese have not begun to exhaust
their supply of manpower OF military
age. In the air, Japan is on the
upgrade, has replaced the planes lost
in combat, and has improved her air
force both in quantity and quality.
Furthermore, the Japanese have a
pilot-training program which seems
capable of staying abreast of their
expanding production. All of this is
by no means in harmony with re-
ports brought back by some Amer
ican pilots who have fought the
Japanese. But a single pilot can
speak only Of his own experience
and those Of his immediate associ-
ates. General Strong, with all of the
Army's intelligence facilities at his
disposal, is in position to make a
much more comprehensive appraisal.
AS has happened in times past,
experience may show that the "ex-
perts' are wrong in this instance.
But until this is demonstrated, the
specific figures given by General
Strong, and the expert opinions that
he has offered, afford no basis for
the easy assumption that the war is
as good as over.

Water Problem Troubles
Owner Of Apartment Building.

To the Editor Of The Star
Reading recently that the District of
Columbia rent-control law was credited
with saving tenants a certain sum of
money, should like to mention a case
where landlord is not helped.
I am the owner of an apartment house
and one of my obligations is to furnish
water to the tenants. My tenants GER
tainly are helping in the current emer-
gency by providing shelter for others,
to the extent that one would think my
apartment house was one large rooming
house. In normal times averaged fam
lilies OF approximately three each per
unit; now each tenant has as many as
five and six roomers. My water bills
have more than trebled and I am con-
suming more coal in supplying hot
water. Offhand would say that there
must be at least 40 roomers in the
building and whereas tenant prac-
ticaly gets back his rent from the
roomers. I receive nothing to compen-
safe me for the extra expense.
If I ask tenant to conserve water as
much as possible I am told. and not
always politely. that I can do nothing
about it, because the Government gives
a tenant the right to have roomers. I
do not object to the principle of the
thing but believe landlord should
have the privilege of limiting the num-
Der of roomers. Apparently, will have
to wait until after the properties of an
owner are returned to his control and
when that day comes some of my ten
ants will be asked to move-and quick!

Gains in Public Health Cited
BY Members Of Women's Committee,

Gains in Public Health Cited
BY Members Of Women's Committee.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
The Joint Committee on Public
Health Is composed of the presidents,
legislative chairmen and civics chair
men of the following organizations:
The District Of Columbia Federation
of Womens Clubs, Twentieth Century
Club, Washington Branch of the Amer
ican Association of University Women
and the Women's Club OF Chevy Chase,
Nd. together with group of laywomen
who are interested in public health.
The number of women in these organi-
cations, allowing for duplication in
membership, is about $500.
The committee was organized be-
cause we were concerned lest there
might develop a menace to public
health from the overcrowding, lack of
housing, shortage OF manpower, doc
tors, nurses and hospital facilities in
Washington and vicinity. Our object
Is Ito acquaint our members with the
public health standards, study the pro-
gram of the District of Columbia De-
partment of Public Health and to take
whatever action is necessary to improve
public health in the District
On reading the annual report of the
Health Department for 1912 and 1943
we note these things: First, the death
rate per 1000 population has been re-
duced since 1885 from 143 to 1913, and,
second, that from the following causes,
i.e., maternal mortality. infant NOR
tally. tuberculosis, pneumonia and
diphtheria the death rate is the lowest
in the history of the District.
Therefore, as grateful citizens, we
deplore the published censure of on
cials whose reports-so readily substan-
tiated-show such astonishing gains in
health conditions in spite Of the ex-
traordinary pressures Of wartime. We
feel that instead of removing these
ef1cient men from ONCE we should
extend to them our appreciation and
uphold their continued efforts to secure
