THIS AND THAT
BY Charles =. Trdce,oeu.
The ways of butterflies In trafYic N

The ways of butterflies In trafac are
quite amazing.
Perhaps few persons have failed to
note them, at some time or other.
They are SO commonplace in summer
that they are accepted as part OF the
general scheme Of things. 1t is only when
they seem to get out Of place, rs in traf-
nc, that they excite general attention.
They seem 50 fragile. yet are tough,
as our correspondent discovered.
Nature has given them ways OF their
own to survive In an increasingly severe
world.
Perhaps most observers tend to think
Of these insects as having no brains at all.
They fly here and there. and around
about, without once seeming to know
what they are doing.
But they are guided by instinct, a
mighty good thing, If you are a butterfly.
TQis has been q fine summer for In.
sects Of all kinds
The almost tropical heat, long con.
tinued, brought out many dormant
species, and made the old standbys
flourish.
The curious person has been able to
find and see many oddities of nature
which are not on tap every season.
The bird population has been more
stable. Yet there are, on almost any day,
differences among them, too.
One correspondent points to an unusul
quietness among the birds on a certain
day.
about o'clock, We witnessed an unusual
gathering of songsters.
1t was the crab grass seed which did 1t.
However much home owners dislike the
crab grass, the birds find nothing wrong
with 1t.
In fact. they love it.
On this particular evening, four turtle
doves, flicker, two young starlinss, two
dozen English sparrows, a robin, and
several cardinals were walking around
in the yard
The doves were eating seed at lively
rate, moving like little gray ships
through very dry sea.
There has been but one rain in two
months, and we are not supposed to use
the hose, 50 the grass, instead of being
green, is peculiar cross between yellow
and gray.
The crab grass rather likes dryness, as
do the locust tree seedlings. These are
coming up all around the yard.
The doves kept close together, and the
sparrows were in group farther out.
What the robin found to eat, we do not
know, but he was there for a long time.
1t will be interesting to see if the doves
come back. These are among the finest
OF all the songbirds, far too fine to shoot,
1T seems to us. The fact that they 80
much resemble the extinct passenger
pigeons ought to give them a peculiarly
secure position in our bird life, but the
sad truth is that 1t seems to work Just
the other way. aae5 .

The Man and the Job

The need for creation of separate
Allied Southeast Asia command un-
der supreme commander probably
became evident to the Allied chiefs
OF staff as soon as the outlines of
global strategy began to take some
definite form. Over two months ago
decision to establish such command
was announced in London, coinci-
dent with appointment of Field
Marshal Sir Archibald Wavell to be
Viceroy of India, with General Sir
Claude Auchinleck succeeding him
as military commander in chief In
India.
The time intervening since the
London announcement of June 10 no
doubt has been spent in the search
for the right man for the supreme
command, in perfecting the political
and other arrangements for COM
plete divorce of responsibility for
conduct of operations against Japan
from the civil and military govern
ment OF India proper, and in prelimi-
nary considerations concerning the
necessary participation of Chinese
troops in combined operations in this
new theater.
The choice of Lord Louis Mount
oatten for the supreme command,
ratified by the Allied chiefs of staff
at Quebec, elicits favorable response
everywhere. Lord Louis, though one
OF the youngest, already has become
one OF the most colorfuI and popular
military figures of the war. He has
won reputation for getting things
done and has attained professional
distinction that offsets any suspicion
that his connections, rather than his
ability, influenced his choice.
Commenting on the announce
ment OF the proposed Southeast Asia
command last June, ne Ssar sug-
gested editorially tn { when the
choice OF a supreme commander be-
came known, ''his special qualifica-
tions may be an indication of the
nature of the campaign contem-
plated after the monsoon" (Which
ends in OCTOBER. Lord Louis. as
acting vice admiral and chief of
combined operations, is qualified by
experience and training for the type
of military movements which NAV
be expected to predominate in a
drive by land, sea and air to rid
Burma of the Japanese. His di-
rection of the British commands.
later enlarged to include combined
operations, has made him something
OF an authority on amphibious war
fare and he is credited in this respect
for some of the tactics used success
fully in the invasion of Sicily.
1t is natural for popular interest
to center on the personality of the
new supreme commander. But the
military significance of the Quebec
announcement is that while Allied
strategy remains unchanged, with
defeat OF the Germans as the first
objective, Allied power has reached
the point which makes it possible to
begin the combined warfare against
the Japanese even before the knock
out blows against Germany have
materialized, Thus far we have been
fighting a holding war against Japan,
so successful in itself that it has
placed the Japs on the defensive
before our own offensive has been
unleashed Establishment of the
Southeast India command now sug-
gests the shape of things to come,
and within future far less remote
than seemed possible few months
ago.

Denies That Jews
Demand Territory.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The August % issue of The Star con-
tanned brief letter in which a COR
respondent, who preferred to hide behind
the anonymous signature of IAN Ameri-
can," packed a number of falsifications
regarding the Zionist movement and the
desire on the part of the Jewish people
to re-establish Palestine as the Jewish
commonwealth.
The Jews are not shouting their de-
mands for territory" They are merely
asking that the pledge made to the
Jewish people with respect to Palestine
following the First World War, and
approved by 50 nations of the world,
including the United States Govern
ment, be kept.
1t Is cause for wonder to naive OBJ
servers why the Jews alone, of all the
suffering peoples of the world, seem to
be forgotten.
AS result of their neutrality in the
First World War, the Arabs have seen
the establishment Of independent
Arabian governments in Iraq, Saudi
Arabia, Trans -Jordania and Egypt. They
have more land at their disposal than
they know what to do with. Only the
Jews must remain homeless refugees.
Your readers hardly need be reminded
OF the part which Jewish refugees and
the Jews of Palestine are playing In this
war. Their demand for still greater
role, through the formation of Jewish
fighting force, has received more than
adequate publicity in this country. but
these demands are still rejected for
imperial reasons by our ally
Those who plan for just world in
the postwar period, those who believe
in democracy and the four freedoms.
those true Christians who understand
the needs of homeless and suffering
people will join with others of similar
mind in indorsing the simple desire of
the Jewish people for the re-establish-
ment Of their ancestral homeland.

But If there was an obligation to

a violation of law by the operators,

Letters to the Editor

The Star has completed publica-
ton in the neUs columns of series
OF letters from members OF Congress
about Dhut the people at home are
thinking these days, The jolloiUing
letter from Senator Pepper OF Florida,
received too late for inclusion in the
series, Is published notU:
lations and requirements and particu-
larly about OPA. A good bit Of the
criticism is justified but considerable
portion of 1t Is attributable to a desire
to profit on the part OF individual people.
The people I am afraid are oyer-opti-
mistic about the time when the war will
be over. They do not always see the
necessity for sacrifice. Some are bitter
against the administration, as always,
yet, in my opinion, if the war is in prog
ress and some unexpected event has not
intervened and the President is can
didate, he will 'be elected.
Undoubtedly, there is fault on the part
OF both the Government and individual
people in respect to many matters on
the domestic front. The administrative
machinery of the Government must be
improved and made more efficient. The
War Mobilization Board must extend
itself in its co-ordinating capacity down
to regions, States and areas. so as to
avoid overlapping and confusion among
the agencies of the Federal Government.
I do hope that it will be possible for
us to observe the advice given by Senator
Glass-"all unite and win the war"

Washington and Think"
Suggested for Miss Thompson,
To the Editor Of The Star:
The president of a large business
machine company has had placed about
his establishment for the guidance of
his employees the admonition: Think
Dorothy Thompson's use last week OF
the phrase clerical conservative"
smacks highly of Jacobinism and its use
is singularly distasteful to those holding
the clergy in esteem. Following Miss
Thompson's lead, the phrase was tossed
freely about over the radio this week
end.
If the admonition Think" has proven
OF benefit to the merely mundane, it
should be immeasurably so to the ideo-
logically introspective. Miss Thompson
ranks highly among columnists engaged
in confusion's confounding. Mere resi-
dence abroad does not change one over
night into Sybil wondrous wise or a
seeress knowing all. The lady journalist
OF the last generation, abroad on her
own, must have been a lonely creature
indeed and about as much en- rapport
with high goings on as a newly arrived
typist here In the Capital, say from
Keokuk, with the diplomatic set. Miss
Thompson profitably might place by her
bedside-where it is said she composes-
banner bearing the word Think" and
on her pillow the now historical query,
Are you Joan of Arc or Clemenceau?",
both visually convenient.
With the wonderful libraries and
newspapers hereabouts, and with Wash
mgton being the very center of events
OF world import, it would seem that this
would be the logical place for the
analyzing-not New York, which of
necessity must depend on the footwork
and the brainwork of the local writers.

there is Arleen Whelan whose sue

created a demand for her on the
part OF movie magnates who could
have hired her for coffee and
doughnuts year ago.
None of these. or other illustra-

Cow and D'Usseau. To have written
the most expensive piece of litera-
ture of all time after having written
virtually nothing, and to sell it to
the industry which forgot it had
you on the payroll, is a success
apart from and above all other
successes.
The anonymity which shrouded
the team of Cow and D'Usseau in
their Hollywood career is illustrated
most effectively in the fact that
Cows name does not even appear
in the industry's directory. He might
not have existed for all it knew.

The New York producer of the
play, its original buyer, was Theo-
ron Bamberger, an amiable gentle
man who had spent decades as q
press agent and summer theater
operator awaiting the day when the
right play would fall into his hands.
1t fell, out of the blue, one day when
Mr.. Bamberger went to the bank
to cash a small check before buying
luncheon. There he met a play
agent, Leah Salisbury, who sent him
aWay-Without luncheon-to read
the script which he had purchased
that day.
The story is still unfinished, the
story of these lesser known people
who have been caught in the wave
of the plays success.
When it opened so happily on
Broadway, its Hollywood purchase
was foregone conclusion. The
price, every one knew, was one be-
yond any save the most successful
studios. There were three which
were deemed financially capable of
making the deal
Among those who wanted to COM
pete with them but knew he did not
have chance was Lester Cowan,
an independent cinema producer
with splendid ideas, fine reputa-
tion and comparatively negligible
bank roll. Mr.. Cowan liked the play,
thought it had astounding possi-
bilities and waited around to see
who would get it.
In New York, he mentioned that
if the odds were not SO great against
him, he would stick in bid.

Cowan just laughed.
Finally, fumbling around among
people with money and faith in him,
Mr.. Cowan found himself in posi-
ton to bid.
