One of the objects of the Casa
blanca meeting was to dispose of the
question of unified command in
North Africa. Yesterdays official
announcement designating Lieuten-
ant General Dwight D. Eisenhower
as commander in chief of Allied
forces in a newly defined theater of
operations, comprising Northwestern
Africa and including Tunisia, Mo-
rocco and Algiers, indicates the ma
ture of decisions reached. But only
their nature. Announcement of the
full scope of decisions on unified
command obviously awaits compile
ton of certain military operations
still in progress.
Most important of these, of course,
is the mission undertaken on the
morning of October % by the British
Eighth Army under General Bernard
Law Montgomery. That army has
pushed Marshal Rommel's Axis
forces westward some 1900 miles
from its positions between the sea
and the Qattara Depression-7O
miles from Alexandria - through
Libya to Tripoli and into Tunisia.
General Eisenhower's command does
not include the victorious Eighth
Army; nor should it, at least until
this army, still pushing to the west
and north, and Eisenhower's French,
British and American forces, pushing
east and to the south, have encircled
and defeated Rommers army or
driven the Axis from Tunisia.
Highly significant in yesterdays
announcement of EiSenhoWer's des-
ignation as commander in chief was
the accompanying statement from
General Henri Giraud, setting up a
War Committee in place of the late
Admiral Jean Darlan's Imperial
Council There evidently will be
Free French representation on this
War Committee; of equal Importance,
however, is the apparent Qualification
Of the hitherto rather hazy defini-
ton of command over the French
forces. All French soldiers in this
area evidently are now placed d.
rectly under Eisenhower, another
move which eventually will elimi-
nate the division between the French
themselves and work toward a COM
pact force of well-equipped and po-
tentially fine soldiers responsible to
one leader. 49,
Throughout our operations in
North Africa, from the landings to
the push toward Tunis, there has
been the finest kind of cooperation
and coordination with the land
forces by Admiral Sir Andrew B.
Cunningham, commanding the feet
units. Admiral Cunningham, one
of Britain's highest ranking and
most distinguished naval officers, is
normally senior to General Essen
hover. But American officers have
been high in their praise of his will
ing subordination of command to
General Eisenhower. The same sort
of action would be necessary on the
part of the British generals, Alex
ander and Montgomery, should Cen
eral EisenhoWer's command be ex-
tended, as it is expected to be, to in
clude Libya and Egypt, after con-
clusion of operations in Tunisia.

The Hawaiian Islands do not enjoy
a great many birds any more, but the
ones they do have are with them the
year around With the exception of
several shore birds, which come from
Alaska there are few migrants.
There are only four birds. as far as we
can find out, which are known in this
country.
They are the English sparrow, skylark,
the cardinal and the turtle dove. These,
of course, have been introduced to the
Islands.
One type of cardinal has been intro
duced from Brazil, in addition to the
famous Kentucky cardinal, which comes
from this country. The Brazilian cardi-
nal is slightly shorter, with red crest
and head, but with a gray back and
white under parts
This bird is right up to date, since 1t
has big red v on its breast. The sexes
look alike.
Evidently it is a true cardinal be-
cause it is fond of sunf1ower seed.
** ~
japanese residents brought with them
bird called hill robin. 1t is inches
long, olive green above, yellowish green
below, with an orange throat and a red
beak. Quite q bird
One of the native birds still to be
found is the iiwi. just how it managed
to survive is not known, because its
feathers were used in the magnificent
feather cloaks worn in the old days by
Hawaiian nobility. 1t must be kept in
mind that primitive peoples know moth
ing of kindness to animals. The birds
of Hawaii were almost exterminated
through the use of their feathers for
this purpose.
1t took, naturally, millions of feathers
for one robe. Probably only selected
feathers were used.
The iiWi Is 6 inches long 1t is a
scarlet bird, with black wings and tail
and long curved red bill.
**
Other birds to be found in the Islands
are the rice bird, which is 4 inches long,
is brown above, with dark face and
bill and gray breast and wings. This
bird feeds on grass seed. It was intro
duced to the islands.
Another small one is the white-eye or
metro. 1t is olive green above, with
yellow breast and white stomach. It
has white ring around the eye. This
bird was introduced, and sounds as if
1t might be an American warbler Of
some sort, or a f1ycatcher.
The an1akihi Is native. It's back Is
green, its under parts greenish yellow
1t has curved black beak with which
1t searches for insects, and sips nectar
from the Towering trees.
The most abundant native forest bird
Is said to be the apapane. It must be a
beauty, with Its crimson back, black
wings and tail, and white under the base
OF the tail. This native bird is album
dant
The elepaio is 5la inches long. If 1t
were not native we would think it some
sort OF wren. 1t is brown flecked with
white above, with white below. It has a
long tail which 1t holds tilted up 1t is
said to be fearless, approaching any one
who comes along.
Another small brown bird Is the lin
net, or. papaia bird. The male has red
breast and forehead. This bird was
brought in.

One-Mon Inquiry

The lone man investigation" con-
Quoted by Senator Ferguson of Mich
igan in connection with the nomi-
nation of Appeals Justice Wiley
Rutledge to the Supreme Court,
strikes an unorthodox note in Wash
ington. but welcome one.
A former circuit judge in Detroit,
where his propensity for digging" is
famed, the Senator, a member of the
Judiciary Committee, resorted to his
customary technique when the name
Of Justice Rutledge was presented for
approval. Desiring to know some
thing of the political philosophy OF
the nominee before casting his vote,
Senator Ferguson arranged a meet
ing with the jurist and talked over
the things he had in mind. Later,
he expressed satisfaction with the
result.
The new Senator's attitude in this
instance sets a useful precedent.
There was complete absence Of
political-mindedness in the brisk,
direct approach that obviated the
necessity for hearing which would
have taken longer and could have
accomplished no more. At the same
time, in this meticulous considera-
ton of an important appointment,
Senator Ferguson has displayed a
critical interest in the judiciary that
is commensurate with the constitu-
tional responsibility Of Senators to
pass on appointments to the Federal
bench. The courts would not suffer
if more members of the Senate were
to manifest the same degree Of in
terest.

To the Editor OF The Star:
An advertisement in local newspaper

Tom Swensen, employed by the A. T. Beckett Co.,, had a piece of metal removed from his left leg by Dr. A. Holmes John- son Saturday. Swensen received his injury while burning stumps on the water project. It is be- lieved an unexploded dynamite cap used in blasting the stumps went off when 1t was placed on a fire.
 When the piece of metal struck Swensen in the back of the leg, before he discovered what it was, he thought one of his fellow workers had "kicked him."
