New Afraid SiqnuIs

Any temporary public confusion
that may result from learning a new
system of afraid warnings, an
nounced by Lieutenant General
Hugh A. Drum of the Eastern De-
fense Command will be insignificant
existing through lack of uniformity
in such signals between communi-
ties along the Atlantic Seaboard.
The new signals will have the ad-
vantage not merely of uniformity,
but they are more logical, insofar
as the public is concerned, than the
system they replace, which was bor-
rowed from England and was never
designed for conditions apt to pre-
yail in the United States in case of
enemy air attack.
The first signal audible to the
public will be the Blue" pro-
longed blast of two minutes on the
sirens. 1t will mean that enemy
planes are heading in this direction
and will tell the public to stand by
for probable attack. Most of the
lights will be blacked out, but pedes
trian and vehicular traffic will not
be halted, thus permitting people to
head for home as fast as they can.
The civilian defense also will be
modified.
/, The second signal will be the
"Red," which will be a series of sharp,
intermittent blasts on the sirens. 1t
will mean that planes are within
rs miles. Everybody except de-
fense personnel must get off the
streets, all except some essential
lights will be blacked out and only
emergency traffic may move.
But the Blue" might sound again,
which would mean that airplanes
have passed beyond the 25-nlile area
and traffic may move, with every
thing in readiness for a possibly
immediate repetition of the Red
There will be no "all clear" signal,
unless it is announced by radio, by
turning on the street lights or unless
local authorities devise some other
means of notification.
1t is to be taken for granted that
the Army, having assumed response
bility for the signal system, effective
February II, will proceed with
enough practice alarms after that
date to familiarize the public with
what is expected. The Army prop
erly has announced stiff penalties
for noncompliance. extending even
to removal from the Eastern De-
fense Command comprising sixteen
States and the District. Army au-
thorities obviously are aware of con-
tinued danger from air raids and.
knowing they would be held re-
sponsible for any failure adequately
to protect the public, are prepared
to see that AFRAID warnings are
taken seriously and that the public
is fully prepared-at least in knowing
what signals mean and observing
them

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. TrucepeN.

forward with his feet like some old hen,
He seems to get real enjoyment out Of
it. too, keeping 1t up for minutes at
time. His breast is finely striped. His
name, fox sparrow comes from the foxy
color of his feathers reminding one
somewhat Of the red fox.
The purple finch is one of the real,
electric beauties of the bird world.
That Is. the color of this bird has
strange, elusive something which stylists
call electric
The coat seems to glow.
At feeding station, with the light on
them just right, they present one of
the most beautiful of all bird pictures.
Bird feeding would be worth 1t all, II
for no more than to have these birds for
a few days.
Observers in the North often think
they hear the female sing, but this, OF
course. is not true what they hear sing
Is a f1rst-year male, which has not yet
got its colors.
In another thing the Northern OBJ
servers have great advantage over us
to the South.
They have the opportunity to. see the
famous purple finch dance of the
straw" We are indebted to THE Book
of Birds" of the National Geographic
Society for the following description of
1t:
'The courtship performance begins
with the males picking up straw, and
ends, after an elaborate display, with his
falling over as If dead until peck from
the female rouses him. At the end of a
display once saw male strike a pose
with his head thrown back, his chest up
and his tail braced against the ground
Thereupon, the female hoped upon his
chest, bent over and clasped bills with
him; then dashed away to lead him a
merry chase through the trees"
And some people think Hollywood is
so terribly new!
The young of these finches resemble
the mother for more than a year.
So 1t may be realized that there is
every opportunity here for confusion in
Identification. They have great deal
of brown on them. and can easily be
mistaken for sparrows. Persons who in
discriminatory harm sparrows often de-
stroy these beautiful finches, a very
sad thing in world already too sad
dened with slayings.
Some authorities say that purple is not
the word to use in connection with this

Farm Munpower Problem

The most serious manpower losses
on the farms have been caused by
the absorption of experienced farm
labor by the armed forces and war
misunderstanding, according to the
statistics, about the same number
of people available for farm labor
but representing a decided drop in
the quality of this labor. The able
bodied men are the ones who have
gone into the service or to work IN
the higher-paid war industries, leav-
ing on the farms women, children
and older men.
This is a type of shortage that
will not be relieved by the plan
announced yesterday by Secretary
Wickard and War ManpoWer Chair
man McNutt, of recruiting a volunteer
Land army" of 3,500,000 workers to
harvest the seasonal crops in 1943.
That plan should be practical, for
last year the United States Employ
ment Service is credited with playing
a large part in recruiting about
5000 900 persons for harvesting sea-
sonal crops. Whether it will do much
to relieve the shortages that the
farmers are complaining about now,
however, remains to be seen.
Between September Of l941 and
1912, farms have lost about 1,615,000
workers. More than half of these,
921 900, have gone into other work,
about fourth of them continuing to
live on the farms, presumably avail
able for some part-time work. About
$4,000 farm workers have gone into
the armed services, 73 per cent of
them being drafted and the re-
mainder volunteering. While defer
ment policies have tended to decrease
the drain on farm labor caused by
the draft, the complaint is that the
policy does not help the small farmer
who depends on his family for labor
as much as it does the larger ones
These, and the farmers in areas where
war industries have drained the local

Quotes Mr.. Welles
On Brute Instinct"
To the Editor of The Star.


The article written by Summer Welles
and appearing in the magazine section
Of The Sunday Star is one of the most
powerful castigations of Hitlerism the
writer has read.
There is yet existent too much opinion
In the United States that shares the
Fascist point of view with regard to
race, humanity in general and religion.
Mr.. Welles says, THE basic concept
of a master race is nothing more or less
than the instinct Of carnivorous
animal or Of savage tribe to impose
its own power by force over the area in
which it can hold sway. The whole
history of the Third German Reich has
exemplihed this brute instinct"
He further bids us: Remember that
while the monstrous racket of Hitlerism
has been conducted by men of shrewd
animal cunning, no regime of the past
200 years has been dominated by men
more grossly ignorant Of everything de-
veloped as the fruit of religious inspira-
ton, of modern knowledge or of modern
science
Like Hitlerism abroad, we have forces
in this country that from the stand
point Of civilization represent the
epitome of nihilism, anti -Semitism,
Ku Klux Klanism and the Silver Shirts
stem from the same concepts OF race
and religion. e. B. HENDERSON.

Precedent for Mr.. Roosevelt

President Roosevelt's trip to Casa
blanca inevitably prompted mention
of the occasion when Abraham
Lincoln "trespassed" on a battlefield
at the risk of his life. John Hay
refers to the story in his diary under
date of July IL, 1864: 1.-THE President
concluded to desert his tormentors
today and travel around the defenses
(of Washington .. At o'clock
pm, the President came in, bringing
the news that the enemy's advance
was at Fort Stevens on the Seventh
street road. He was in the fort when
it was first attacked, standing upon
the parapet. A soldier roughly
ordered him to get down or he would
have his head knocked off"
Further details are given in an
account printed in The Star as re-
Gently as February IS, 1912, wherein
it is reported: president Lincoln,
accompanied by his wife, came on the
grounds in a carriage. Seeing Cen
eral (Horatio Gouverneur) Wright,
he at once extended his hand. saying:
General, l am very glad to see you.
This looks as though we were going
to do something Mr. President
said the general, pointing toward
Fort Stevens, If you'll just come
along down there with me, I'll show
you one of the prettiest little fights
you wish to see"
Mr.. Lincoln instantly accepted
General Wright's suggestion, The
latter subsequently declared: "He
sent his wife back and when l
mounted the parapet, there he was
beside me, looking upon the scene
with great deal of interest. The
enemy's SharpShooters were firing
| pretty closely, and I explained to him
that the place was entirely too dan
gerous for him. "It is no more
| dangerous for me than it is for you,"
he replied The general, however,
argued: But it is my duty to be here
while it is your duty not to expose
yourself"
Matters reached a climax when "a
surgeon who was standing near" was
struck by bullet General Wright
then insisted. Mr.. President, you
must really get down from this ex-
posed position. / cannot allow you
to remain here longer, and if you
refuse I shall deem it my duty to
have you removed under guard"
Lincoln finally obeyed the order thus
! delivered. But he remained in the
! trench, "bobbing up and down." until

Bird watching is new to me. I lived

Then I found interest for the first

in the starlings, and the pigeons which

The fox sparrows, on an average, fly

seen here much earlier.
About now is the appointed time.
The purple finches are often seen at

There is no doubling the purple finch.
His color is unique. Some one has

The fox sparrow is larger than a

An Improper Approach

The Office of Defense Transporta-
tlon is represented as threatening
the Arnold-operated bus lines with
denial of new equipment unless the
company agrees to transfer bus pas
sengers to streetcars at Rosslyn. Va.
on Sundays-a plan for saving the
fuel and rubber used by the buses in
coming into Washington.
If conservation measures are nee
essary, the ODT should order what
1t regards as necessary and not re-
sort to threats. But it should also
conserve the interests of the bus
riding public as we'll as fuel and
rubber. In the Rosslyn transfer
issue, it seems to disregard the in
terests of the riding public. With
holding new equipment from the bus
company is a greater penalty against
the bus riders than it is against the
company. And in advocating the
Rosslyn transfer, the ODT neglects
the important consideration that the
transfer would mean not merely
physical inconvenience to the pas
sengers, which might be necessary,
but would require the payment of an
additional fare. For no arrange
ment has been made for free trans
ferS.
This condition provides further
evidence as to the need for estab-
lishment of some overall transporta-
ton authority for the Metropolitan
Area, with powers to regulate fares as
we'll as the use Of equipment in the
public interest. Too many separate
agencies now are pecking away at
the Metropolitan Area transporta-
ton problem, and sometimes with
conflicting aims.
The Capital Transit Company, for
instance, sought to comply with ODT
regulations by abandoning certain
through Montgomery County buses
in the morning and afternoon, trans
ferring passengers to streetcars at
the Wisconsin avenue terminal
The ICC at first refused to let the
company make the move, although
it finally granted permission after
a reconsideration of the case. The
lCC granted one company an in
creased rate of fare, only to have
the Office of Price Administration
| step in and halt the increase in the
courts. Other rates of fare, to the
Pentagon Building, for instance,
have been fixed by the ICC without
public hearing. Still other rates are
fixed by regulatory bodies in Vir-
ginia and Maryland.
The ODT and the ICC between
them certainly should have the
power to set up a transportation
authority for the Metropolitan Area,
! fixing uniform fares and pooling
! equipment in the interests of neceS-
Sary conservation. If they lack the
power to do this, Congress should
| grant it. Metropolitan Area trans
portation should be handled as one
problem; not, as at present, as a
series of little problems, settled
without coordination of policies by
any one Of half a dozen separate
agencies.
