Discusses Directive
Interfering With Transfers.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
II the ODT orders the Arnold bus
line to stop at Rosslyn on Sunday with
out transfer privilege to its passengers,
as has been reported it is planning to
do, and if it does not broaden the order,
a grave injustice will be done to the
people using these buses and living in
nearby Virginia. Based on the reasons
given for such an order, namely, the
availability of other means of trans
portation and the saving of gasoline
and tires. it is difficult to see why such
an order should be directed solely to
particular bus line, and not to every bus
system that touches a streetcar line in
the District Of Columbia or elsewhere.
Many Of the Capital Transit Co.'S bus
routes fall in the same category as the
Arnold lines, as, for example, those
connecting with streetcar lines at Six
teenth and Harvard streets, at California
street and Connecticut avenue or at
Georgia avenue and Rock Greek Church
road.
Broadening the order as herein sug-
geSted would tend to equal the burden
as to scope and would make a. consid-
cradle saving in gasoline and tires. But
in order to relieve the discrimination
it would still be necessary for the ODT
to order that an extra fare be charged
all passengers wherever buses are
stopped for this purpose since, by its
omission in the order, it has required
that the additional fare be paid by
Arnold passengers. CHERRY DALE,

Offers View of Theory of Logic
For Taxation Without Hue and Cry.

To the Editor of The Star:
In all this Federal income-tax hula
baloo, do they know what they are fight
ing about or are they just fighting?
What practical difference does it make
whether one period or another is taken
as the basis for taxation? Let's look
back a few years.
Didn't we pay our first Federal income
tax in the year 1914? Didn't Congress,
in 1913, figure up how much such rev.
enue would be required in 1914 and then
draft a tax law which it believed would
yield that sum? How much would John
@. Public then have cared what particu-
lar period was covered by the tax law?
Of course, John G. Public Is q COM
posite and hence not every individual
in that composite whole would be af-
fected alike. Isn't this, however. in

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. TrdcetpeH.

There is an authentic record of a
female English sparrow having been seen
in this vicinity carrying straws for
nest on February IA.
Usually they begin to nest in March.
They undoubtedly nest in sheltered
places at other times in the winter.
Sometimes awnings in the downtown
sections afford them a sheltered nesting
site. The heat from buildings make them
think spring is at hand.
There We're two sparrows which nested
in an awning on Eleventh street. This
was in the summer. The proprietor saw
the nest and gave orders that the awning
was not to be raised or lowered until
the birds were out of the nest.
Often when a short tailed bird" is
mentioned it is young starting. but
this bird is much larger than any spar
row, of course.
Bluebirds are also erratic visitors in
this vicinity, except in Wesley Heights
and nearby communities, where numbers
There is, in fact, sort of "bluebird
belt" running across Washington at this
point, roughly from west to east.
Most of us will be fortunate to be host
to one pair year. Often even this one
pair will not stay, finding English spar
rows, cats or something else which
they do not like.
This is a real misfortune to the family
interested in bird life, because truly there
is no other bird more beautiful than this
At one time America was filled with
bluebirds.
A great sleet storm in 1912 killed them
by the hundreds of thousands and since
that day there have not been as many
Of them anywhere.
They have slowly worked their way
back, but at best are not to be found in
such numbers as in the old days.
y
Our only acquaintance with bluebirds
in our 13 years residence in Chevy
Chase, Nd, was eight years ago.
We had put up at Christmas time a
iiiAC 1lCN IlouSci ilduc Ill Eng
land by a master craftsman
1t really was beautiful thing, white,
with soft green shingles, real little
shingles made by hand.
The house made an excellent mantel
ornament.
Early in March it attracted a pair OF
bluebirds.
They spent the entire day flying in
and out and perching on branch just
above the house.
Then-they flew away.
That was the last of our bluebirds
| Something in the "set-up" did not please
| them.
| We have always treasured this, our
only acquaintance with bluebirds, and
have envied those persons who report
having them every year and, in some
| cases, the year round.
Some way the bluebird, along with
the blue jay, seems the most American
of all our birds.

"KENSINGTON, MD.

Dear Sir:
Il have not been in this section of the
country for very long time tam from
California; and so appreciate your col
umn in The Star very much, as most of
the birds in this vicinity are strange
to me.
During this last snoWstorm, my s.
year-old daughter and myself have had
great pleasure in feeding the birds which
came to our lawn. From my book en-
titled The Birds of America edited by
Gilbert Pearson, l have identified junCos,
nuthatches and chickadeeS.
"One pair of birds looked like song
sparrowS and I'm wondering if another
pair could be pine finches or siskins.
"Of course, we had the blue Jays,
starlings, mocking birds and two pairs
of cardinals for two or three days. Two
English sparrows have been regular Wis
itors and have brought with them Two
young sparroWs without tails-is it pos
sible that they would have young birds
at this season?
Sunday morning four bedraggled
bluebirds perched in our trees and Is
others were perched on nearby tele-
phone wire.
Il was disappointed that they didn't
stay to eat but flew on after a short
rest.
Saturday and Sunday the 40 or so
birds in the yard were so hungry that
they ate everything threw out to them,
including bread crumbs, pork sausage,
cornbread, cooked cereal, raisins, walnuts
and chicken feed

Keeping a diary of bird arrivals is a

observer looks forward each year to
the regular arrivals.

Postwar elimination

Even though the war is far from
won, thoughtful citizens of the United
States already have begun to think
about the use which should be made
of the Nations dynamic power after
peace has been achieved. 1t is proper
that some consideration should be
given to the subject. The issue shapes
up in the natural question: What will
the people want to do with their
organized and disciplined strength of
mind and body when the fighting
has ended?
Never before since American his
tory began have such vast numbers
of men and women been brought into
relation to a single purpose. The
work which they are doing is pri-
marily cooperative labor to pre-
serve those values which they possess
in common. 1t happens that they
also share intangible realitieS-in-
Guiding a wish to extend the benefits
Of a progressive democracy to their
fellows
To illustrate the opportunities for
such expansion, the problem of
housing may be mentioned. Any in
diVidual who has travelled over the
country during the past decade must
be conscious Of the disparity between
the condition Of some homes and
that of others Thousands Of families
miSerably are sheltered in tenementS

the phrase, are dangers and perils to
the communities in which they stand.
Whole areas in New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia, Boston, st. Louis,

Louisville, Memphis, Baltimore, New
Orleans, Atlanta and many other
cities cry aloud to be wrecked and
rebuilt in line with modern ideals
Of residential architecture. Much of
Washington needs reconstruction.

necessary for the accommodation of

to promote the prosperity which
human beings must have, if life is

we not regard one individuals advan-
tage and another's disadvantage as av-
eraged up in Mr.. Public, the average
man?
So, II Congress in 1913 had declared,
1--WE shall collect this sum during 1914,
pro o-rating it as tax upon the people in
proportion to current 1914 income" what
difference could that have made to John
@. Public? AS it happened, the tax
actually was levied, instead, in proper
ton to incomes received in 1913. Does
this fact, then, make that method bind
ing upon the future and inviolate? Must
we. therefore, forget that the number of
dollars extracted from our pockets,
under that plan, in 1914 was neither
more nor less than if the other plan had
been adopted?
Why does not the same logic apply
80 years later? Why cannot Congress
get down to brass tacks," decide how
much money must come from our pockets
in 1943 and then WELD the (DaX?

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In Biblical days a group of builders
conceived the idea that they could get
to heaven by erecting high tower, so
they began to erect it. But, instead of
getting to heaven by way of the tower,
the builders ended in confusion.
I sincerely hope the present group OF
builders, whose opinions would indicate
that heaven can be reached by con-
structing great highways, waterways and
buildings and by economic manipulation,
will not have such bad luck as did the
Biblical builders.
However, similar conditions and cir
cumStances, according to the law of

Closed Shop Issue

The War Labor Board, in deciding
case involving the Harvill Aircraft
Die Casting Corporation Of California,
has announced a significant depar-
ture from the stand heretofore taken
with respect to the closed or union
shop. Many thousands of American
citizens, who for reasons of patriotism
or governmental compulSion will take
jobs in closed or union shop indus
tries while the war lasts, are directly
affected by the ruling.
In the past the board has adhered
to the policy enunciated by the Presi-
dent when, just prior to Pearl Harbor,
he said that the Government would
never compel any one to join union
IN order to get job or hold a job
The Harvill decision alters that
policy, and hereafter, where a union
shop has existed, the Government
through the War Labor Board will
compel new workers to join the union
in order to obtain and hold jobs.
Furthermore, SO far as the board is
concerned, this will apply equally to
those who seek jobs voluntarily in
union shop plants and to those who
are compelled, directly or indirectly.
by the Government to accept such
employment. Thus, vital question
of national policy is involved in this
decision.
The board in the Harvill case was
confronted with an exceedingly diff
cult problem. In earlier cases, where
unions had asked for closed or
union shop, which they did not al
ready have, the board had invoked
its maintenance of membership
clause, under which workers were
given a stipulated time in which to
resign from or refuse to join a union
II they wished to escape compulsory
membership. But in this case, prior
to the expiration of a contract last
April, a union shop had existed in
the plant for about six months, and
Of the maintenance of membership
clause would have had the effect of
replacing the union shop with an
open shop. With the union precluded
from striking to maintain the union
shop because of its no-strike pledge,
the majority of the board felt that
the fairest and most practical solu-
ton was to order union shop, under
which new employees must join the
union. Certain exceptions were made
in this instance, but they are not
so far as the policy laid
down is concerned.
Thus, the Government is put in the
position of doing the thing that the
President said never would be done.
as result of this and
other policies recently laid down, the
not4only will compel
men to take jobs in war plants, but,
If union shop is in existence, the
also will compel these
men to join the union. 1t may be
that the Importance of avoiding in
of production during the
war is justification enough for going
TO this extreme. But it is policy
which will bear down heavily upon
those individuals who do not want to
Join any union, but who may want
to work in war plant having union
shop, or who may be compelled to
do SO.
