Norway has no feasible land connec-
ton with the rest Of the country.
The only practical way the Germans
could re-enforce their garrisons
there, once the Allies cut water COM
munication, would be over Swedish
territory, and Stockholm breads a
German demand for such passage,
which would be a breach of Swedish
neutrality
In Norway itself, popular resist
ance to the German occupation
persists and even intensif1es with the
hope that an Allied invasion may
soon rescue them from the German
yoke. There have been reports Of
agents and paratroops flown from
Britain and dropped in remote parts
OF Norway to intensity sabotage and

Rent Increase at Greenbelt
Resented by Reader Not Affected.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I wish to voice my profound indigna-
ton at the forthcoming increase In tents
at the Greenbelt, Md, Government
housing project. I am not one of those
affected by this increase, for I live in
a defense house at Greenbelt, and rent
is to remain the same on these houses.
However, to raise the rent on the per-
manent residents of Greenbelt is. in my
estimation, only another step forward
toward complete and disastrous imitation.
The cost of upkeep has not increased
for the Government. If we pay man
more money for keeping the furnaces
at Greenbelt going, then it Is paid by
the residents, not by the Government.
So it is with all of the other utilities
at Greenbelt.
The families of Greenbelt some day
will return to their own medium salaries.
The war cannot last forever. Why not
let them save little money? Let them
buy more War bonds, let them furnish
us with the services Of members of their
families. Don't burden them with an
extra cost OF living.

General McNoir

The best war news of the day is
the announcement that the condi-
ton of 1t. Gen. Lesley j. McNair,
wounded by shell fragments at the
Tunisian front, is not critical.
General George c. Marshall, chief
OF staff. was not exaggerating when
he once referred to General McNair
as the brains of the Army" For
this quiet-mannered, unassuming
officer probably has had more to do
with the building up of the Army of
the United States than any other
single man. Back in 1941, when
General McNair began his organiza-
ton work. he was confronted with
appalling difficulties. The then
existing land units comprised the
merest skeleton of an Army. New
men were coming in under the Sc
lective Service Act, but the equip
ment and facilities for training them
were woefully lacking.
General McNair set about his task,
however, with an air of quiet de-
termination. Broomsticks served
as guns and any kind of vehicle
that could accommodate a sign was
made to do duty as tank. The
new weapons were beginning to
trickle out of the factories, to be
sure, but there were many needs for
them, and none knew better than
General McNair that the training of
the Army could not be delayed. We
were at peace, and many refused to
face the imminence of war, yet the
commander of the ground forces
realized only too we'll that the train
ing program which he was directing
had to be pointed for the trial of
combat.
Those crowded days were filled
with visits to the scattered training
centers, the planning of the maneu-
vers designed to mold small units
into combat teams, a word of COM
mendation here, a criticism there.
Looking back, it Is clear that the lob
was superbly we'll done, and the
Army that we have today is the finest
testimonial that any general could
want. Yet there is much that re-
mains to be done, and the task is
one for which General McNair is
peculiarly we'll equipped. Had it not
been for the steel helmet which
saved his life at the Tunisian front,
the Nation would have suffered a
most grievous loss.

Attitude of Some Senators
Draws Condemnation.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The handwriting Is already on the
wall. Not on the wall of the banquet
hall of Belshazzar, but on the wall Of
the United States Senate, where enough
Senators are nov being weighed in the
balance and found wanting, to Illustrate
Americas real purpose in the war. For
1t is apparent that the survivors and
successors Of the obstinate men," who
blocked collective security in 1918, are
preparing to repeat. ~
There is little doubt even in the
twisted mind of Hitler that We shall
secure a sfnilitary victory in the present
conflict; but there is dreadful posi-
bility that we shall lose the peace. In
such a tragic event all the blood now
being shed by the flower Of our man
hood will have been shed In vain. We

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Tracewell.

Perhaps 1t was being carried along In
an envelope Of air. or rather lack Of air,
created by the pressure Of his face and
body.
1t is claimed that bee or wasp can
outf1y pigeon, no mean flyer.
Birds count their wing beats by the
minute, but bees and flies might count
theirs by the seconds, with several hun
dred beats per second, at that.
This rapid beating Is what gives them
their characteristic hum.
Perhaps the only bird with as fast
wing beat is the hummingbird, whose
very name shows great deal.
We would advise our correspondent to
open an attic window on some fair day,
II any such is to be found, and then 20
downstairs, closing the attic door on
the way.
The wasps are just as anxious to get
out, now that spring has come. as any
householder Is to have them go out.
They will not attack, in the attic.
They were wise enough to select the
place as good dormitory for the win
ter. They were dormant all during the
cold, and even now are rather sluggish
X X
Wasps and bees have ways of their
own which undoubtedly antedate our
discoveries of radio and high frequencies.
For instance, 1t is claimed that when
beekeeper removes queen, there is
great excitement in the hive.
The creatures mill around, knowing
full we'll that something terrible has
happened to the colony.
Now, If the beekeeper holds the queen
in his hand and approaches the hive
with her, the excitement stops at once
The bees begin to 60 about their nor
NAL business
They cannot see the queen, they prob
ably cannot even smell her, but, never
theless, they understand that the excite
ment is over, because the queen is safe
Keepers Of bees always marvel over
this. The obvious explanation is that
with their keen scent for odors especially
sweet ones, they smell their queen
If she is completely surrounded by a
human hand. which, 1t is presumed, has
an overpowering odor of its own how
can the bees in the hive smell her pres
ence?
The answer is that they cannot, hence
they must have some other way of
knowing.
The best explanation is that she is
able to make some high pitched sound
which human ears cannot hear, but
which the bees can understand"
Wasps will not sting, unless one
touches them.
The thing to do, then, is not to touch
Them but merely to watch them, because
they are among the real marvels of
nature.

Divide and CONQUER

It the break between Russia and
the Polish government-in-e exile
actually is product of the divide
and-conquer policy of the Nazis, as
claimed in London, there can be no
doubt that the Axis has scored a
triumph Of the first magnitude.
This is the first open breach in the
ranks of the United Nations, and if
Russian-Polish relations are permit
ted to 60 from bad to worse it is easy
to believe that the consequences,
from the Allied point of view, will be
calamitous. Naturally, it is to be
expected that our own Government
and the British government will
exert every effort to prevent the
situation from deteriorating, but,
without knowing more of the facts
underlying the breach, it is not pos
sible to form any estimate of the
extent to which these efforts may be
successful.
Relations between the Soviets and
the Poles have been getting progress
sively worse for some time, but,
largely because of the efforts of
British censorship, the people of this
country were not prepared for the
drastic action taken yesterday. The
disclosure of the breach was made in
bitter note from the Soviet Foreign
Commissar, Vyacheslaff M. Molotov
to the Polish Ambassador at Moscow.
The note revealed that the immedi-
ate cause of the break was a contro-
versy over the Staying of 10000 Polish
officers in Russia. The. Nazis said
these officers had been slain by the
Russians. The Russians replied that
they had been killed by the Germans.
And the Poles demanded an investi-
cation by the International Red
Cross to ascertain the facts.
In the Russian note, it was charged
that the Polish government, to please
the Germans, had dealt "treacher-
Gus blow to the Soviet Union, and
it was contended that the similarity
between propaganda campaigns from
German and Polish sources left mo
doubt as to the existence of contact
and accord in carrying out this
hostile campaign" against Russia.
Obviously, it cannot be determined
here whether these accusations are
well founded, nor is it known whether
the break between the two govern
ments traces back to more funda-
mental differences. But it is PEI
fectly evident that all concerned will
suffer If this incident should lead
to further difficulties which might
impair the capacity of the United
Nations to go on with the fight.
Clearly, the Axis leaders desperately
hope that this will be the case, and
we may be sure that they will leave
nothing undone to accomplish their
aim. Our fundamental purpose must
be to defeat this hope. We must
concentrate on the successful prose-
cution of the war, to the exclusion
OF other considerations.

The Future Of Exports
From the Manchester Guardian.

From the Manchester Guardian.
Prof. Allan Fishers paper to the Man.
chester Statistical Society was one Of
the soundest of recent commentaries on
exporting policy. 1t is extremely neces-
sary to combat the common notion
that we can win export markets by force
Of diplomacy or threats that we shall
not buy from those who will not buy
from US. I'm the long rum" rs Prof.
Fisher said, "the only way to maintain
q satisfactory export trade Is to offer
ones prospective customers goods which
they wish to have. In this important
respect at least we would 60 sadly astray
If we were to believe that 18th century
presidents are valueless and misleading"
This means that we must accept as In
evitable f1ercer competition for our old
staple lines of export and the rise of
local industries in our former markets.
But because we may find 1t difncult to
increase exports OF cotton goods 1t does
not follow that we cannot increase other
exports. Even In the interwar period.
when our old exporting industries were
so badly hit, new ones made considerable
progress. and It Is to them that we must
look for future expansion.

to get rid OF them.
Yours truly, M. J. D."
Bees and wasps are marvellous crea-
lures, so interesting that any one with
an attic full of them Is to be congratu-
lated.
Often it is impossible to feel this way,
especially when wasp strings one on
the back of the neck.
AS quick as the sting, so quick should
be the remedy, for best results.
Ammonia, applied at once, is held to
be the best relief but where Is am
monia to be secured nowadays?
Probably any antiseptic, II applied at
once, will do good. Oily antiseptics are
best.
No one should pretend to be 50 hardy
as not to treat such stings and bites as
soon as possible. There have even been
cases Of death due to such stings and
lack of attention.
This Is probably due to micro-organ-
isms on the bee before it stings.
No one can tell where a wasp or bee
or ordinary humble bee has been.
They prowl in many odd places.
They have ways of their own, too,
and poisons of their own.
Scientists tell us many marvellous tales
Of wasps and bees.
One OF the best comes from the last
war. Gs there any one left who insists
on calling 1t the Great War? There
was nothing great about it, except size,'
and it has been dwarfed by World War

Articles About Inspiring Leaders
Urged to Offset Less Worthy News.

To the Editor Of The STAR
I am glad that your newspaper could
find space for the kind of article you
printed April 10 about Nine Chang
Kai-shek and her way of thinking.
Probably. I should have missed this
illuminating sidelight upon her if it
had not been made available to me in
the daily news columns.
To my view. articles of this nature,
giving readers an understanding of the
worlds great leaders, help everybody to
offset to some extent the Oppressive
effect Of the more sordid human-i interest
element that, also, has to have its place
in the current run of the news.
Give us all you can about the great,
fine inspiring men and women of the
world today and what they are thinking
and doing, as we'll as of the mean and
cheap ones who may do or say things
that get them into public notice.
guess we all need the tonic of good
things of mind and spirit, full measure
in the daily run of news, to keep us
steady amidst the inevitable slush CT
the other kind of news.

Rebuff in India

1t is extremely difficult to under
stand the reasoning behind the re-
fusal of the British authorities, In
India to grant the request of William
Phillips, personal representative of
President Roosevelt, for an interview
with Mohandas Gandhi and Java
harlal Nehru, imprisoned Indian Ma
tionalist leaders.
Mr.. Phillips, an experienced and
able diplomat, was sent to India to
make a survey of conditions there
for the information of this Govern
ment. Upon his return to the United
States he will report his findings to
the President. Because OF the at
titude OF the government in India,
however, he will have to rely on
secondary sources in reporting the
viewpoints of Gandhi and Nehru,
the key figures in the controversy
between the British and the Ma
tionalist Indians.
On the face Of the matter, this
seems to be needless and foolish
affront to this country And, unless
the rebuff to the Presidents personal
representative was made necessary
by compelling reasons which do
not appear on the surface, the
British authorities have accom-
plished nothing more than to supply
ammunition to those groups which
have sought to make capital out of
the embarrassing position in which
the British have been placed with
respect to India.
This Government, although it has a
direct and vital interest in the Indian
situation, has been careful to refrain
from anything which might tend to
complicate matters for our British
ally. Our official attitude, despite
insistent demands from influential
groups in this country for interces-
sion in Gandhi's behalf, has been to
keep hands of. Because of this, the
refusal to permit Mr.. Phillips to see
the imprisoned leaders becomes all
the more inexplicable.

Railroad 'Feutherbeddino'

george P. McNear, IT., and his
Toledo, Peoria and Western Railroad
are back in the public eye again, the
president of the now Government
operated carrier charging that waste
OF manpower is being encouraged
by contracts with the brotherhoods
that embody the so-called feather
bed" operating rules. According to
Mr.. McNear's testimony before the
House Military Affairs Committee,
train and yard employees of the rail-
road he formerly operated increased
1873 per cent in the first four months
the Office OF Defense Transportation
managed the property, while train
miles were up only 3.3 per cent, a
ratio Of nearly sixteen to one as be-
tween manpower and production.
Unless there are offsetting factors
not disclosed by Mr.. McNear's state
ment, this would indicate waste of
manpower under the contracts which
were negotiated to get the line back
into operation when the Govern
ment took over in March, 1912.
Off1cials of the ODT have expressed
satisfaction with the agreements in
which, they say, the brotherhoods
have made some concessions from
the standards ordinarily required.
1t Is contended further that the
road has made a better showing
financially under the Government
than when Mr.. McNear was in
charge.
The ODT is understood now to be
preparing an operating statement
covering the entire control period,
and that should and no doubt will,
deal comprehensively with the en-
ployment situation. Mr.. McNear
blamed his troubles on an unwilling
ness to negotiate contracts that
would make mandatory the use of
more employees than were required
to operate the road efficiently and
economically. The Government took
control because the line, although
short, furnishes a vital connection
for the major systems in the Chicago
area.
1t would be unfortunate indeed if
the Governments action in this in
stance served only to set precedent
under which rail unions could force
burdensome terms on the carriers.

Pays Tribute to Quartet
And TO Its Patron.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS an ardent lover of the Budapest
String Quartet should like to express
my appreciation for the marvellous per-
formances given at the Library of Con-
gress, and to extend my thanks to Mrs.
Matthew John Whittal, under whose
sponsorship this superlative quartet
plays.
Certain critics have tendency to treat
these concerts in q rather snobbish ane
high-handed manner. I wonder If they
ever stop to consider the fact that there
is present at each concert generation
to whom the quartets Of Mozart and
Beethoven are quite unfamiliar and
who do not say, like the Duke In
Twelfth Night:
Enough; no more:
IT'S not SO sweet now as 1t was before"
Perhaps It is for this younger genera
don, or for those of the older generation
who, like that other lover Of the classics.
Arturo Toscanini, remain youthful In
heart and who still can be stirred by q
perfect performance Of Mozarts &C
Major Quartet" that these concerts are
given. LENORA TAUBE.

A Better Approach

The Commissioners, evidently flnd-
ing themselves heading into a blind
alley, were wise to call off the prose-
cution of unlicensed rooming house
operators until efforts to enforce
safety regulations can be pointed in
some. more promising direction. 1t
would be hard to justify the whole
sale prosecution of such people by
one branch of Government for failure
to comply with fire escape regula-
tons when another branch of Gov
eminent makes such compliance
obviously impossible.
The Commissioners are the ones
Who make the regulations for opera
ton of rooming houses and other
such establishments. Regulations
designed for normal times, when
building materials are available, are
impractical in wartimes, when the
same materials cannot be obtained.
The Commissioners responsibility
now, it would seem, is to modify regu-
lations in the light Of actual condi-
tons and then to see that such re-
naming regulations as those de-
signed to prevent dangerous over
erowding, structural changes of in
teriors hazardous in case of fire, ETC.,
are rigidly enforced What is needed
Is really adequate system of in
spection and prompt action against
deliberate evasions of the law.
AS The Star remarked the other
day many Of the problems confront
ing the Commissioners now in their
efforts to enforce safety regulations
are the product of woeful neglect,
in the past, of adequate inspection
and licensing. If the Commissioners
are able to remedy this fault, the
result will be even more beneficial
than wholesale prosecution or con-
viction of rooming house operators
who have not installed fire escapes
because there are no fire escapes to
install.
