Achromutopsiucs

In his determination that America
have the finest armed forces in the
world Uncle Sam is rather rigid in
his physical requirements, perhaps
too much so. His rules, for instance,
definitely bar achromatopsiacs,
whereas truly enlightened strategy
should take them on as highly i'm
portant specialists. An achroma-
topsiac, be it known, is a rare and
precious asset to any army. He is an
owl-eyed human, who may have to
wear glasses in daylight, but really
goes to town after dark. These peo-
pie could slip behind enemy lines at
night and create immense havoc.
Why not turn them loose on the
Axis?
incidentally, when peace comes
the achromatopsiac should be prize
catch as husband for the woman
who has a mania for soft" lights in
the home, meaning perpetual
dimout. Think of her JOY at having
a man around the house who isn't
constantly squaWking for more light,
and growing; What do you think
I am-an owl?"

RuiIWuy Wuqe Issue

Railroad wage negotiations which
have been on the fire since Septem-
ber are following a familiar pattern.
Efforts of the National Mediation
Board to effect a settlement through
mediation or arbitration-the first
steps prescribed by the Railway La
Dor Act-have run afoul of the usual
inability of the disputantS to get to-
gether at this stage, and the matter
now goes to the new National Rail-
way Labor Panel headed by DR.. Will
liam M LeiserSon of the National
Labor Relations Board, sitting in
place of an emergency board which
ordinarily would have been named
by the President. The panel was
established by executive order in May
TO deal with wartime wage disputes,
and it is not improbable that an
an agreement will be reached. The
rail unions are party to the no-strike
agreement.
At present, the wage issue involves
the 100000 members of the non
operating unions, who are seeking q
twenty-cent hourly increase. The
''big five" train brotherhoodS, how
ever, already have voted to seek a
30 per cent increase, and it is only
question Of time until their case
also gets before the Mediation Board.

the railroad unions must be conceded
better than an even chance of getting
at least a part of what they want.
And this in spite of the stabilization
program and the fact that the
workers in this industry generally
may be said to occupy a preferred
position both as to wages and en-
ployment conditions. They won a
substantial increase a year ago, when
the White House intervened in the
face of a Nationwide strike threat.
The momentum the wage issue is
gathering can hardly fail to have
its effect on the proceedings started
by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to determine if freight and
passenger rates are to be cut from
the levels established last year to
finance the wage boost. The rate
case was opened at the instance of
the Office of Price Administration, on
the assumption that the war boom
the carriers are enjoying makes the
higher charges unnecessary. 1t is
obvious that a new wage increase
would weaken this argument.
The commission has been anxious
for the railroads to use the increased
revenues to reduce their bonded in
debtedness, as an aid to postwar
stability, and some have undertaken
to do this. Accomplishments along
this line naturally will depend on the
outcome Of the wage and rate cases.

Chile Breaks With the Axis

The Chilean governments formal
announcement that 1t has broken
relations with the Axis Is as welcome
as it was anticipated. The move had
been expected ever since the return
Of Morales Beltrami Minister of the
Interior, a fortnight ago, from an
extensive diplomatic tour, under
taken with the express authorization
of the Chilean Congress, which took
him to Washington, Rio de Janeiro
and Buenos Aires. His last stop be-
fore reaching home was the Argen-
tine capital, where he had lengthy
conferences with President Castillo
and Foreign Minister Guinazu. Those
conversations were obviously so un-
satisfactory to the neutralist regime
In BuenoS Aires that semi official
Argentine sources admitted the like
lihood of Chilean break with the
Axis in the near future.
The ensuing fortnight has wit
messed intense political activity in
Santiago, the Chilean capital. The
elimination came on Tuesday eve
ming when President Rios, accom-
panied by most of his cabinet, ex-
planned the governments position
before closed session of the Senate
attended by members of the Cham
Der of Deputies. At this joint session
of Congress, the President obtained
a decisive vote Of approval for his
resolve to terminate diplomatic rela-
tions with the Axis powers. The
formal step was taken next day.
That Chile has not long since
joined the camp of the United
Nations is due to restraining cir
cumstances rather than to positive
disinclination on the part of either
the government or the majority of
It's people. The popular temper of
the country was shown nearly year
ago, when President Rios was elected
after campaign waged chiefly on
an anti-Axis platform. In his in
augural address last April. the Presi-
dent promised that Chile would
faithfully carry out her duties of
continental solidarity" His govern
ment subsequently took vigorous
steps against Axis attempts at prop
aganda and espionage 1t likewise
resisted all efforts of the Argentine
government to align Chile with its
neutralist foreign policy. Santiago
has made it consistently clear that
its continued neutrality was matter
Of expediency, motivated by tempo
rary circumstances and not defended
on principle, as Buenos Aires has
done. There thus has never been an
identity of views between the two
governments, but merely a superficial
and transitory parallelism of action.
1t will be highly interesting to
watch the effect of Chile's break
with the Axis upon Argentina, now
left in complete diplomatic isolation
throughout the Western Hemisphere.
How much longer the Castillo regime
can persist in its neutralist foreign
policy against increasing pressure at
home as well as from abroad remains
| to be seen

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. TraceUeU.

II children must be allowed these guns,
1t is always best to use the steel shot,
since this may be drawn out of the eye
by magnet, whereas the lead pellets
are very difficult TO extract
One good result of the war, we feel,
is the disappearance of these guns.
They are dangerous alike to children
and birds. just how they ever got their
status as toy is another of the smaller
mysteries, for they are very dangerous
weapons.
Fortunately for the birds, most boys
are not very good shots.
An air rifle will frighten all the birds
away from busy feeding station, and
keep them away for several days
We feel sure that this is what hap
pened to the woodpecker. These are very
capable and intelligent birds. With their
sharp eyes they see boys long before
boys see them.
They decide to leave the neighborhood
1t is too bad, since they have found
food there, but it is best for them.
In answer to the question, How
are we ever going to educate people to
let the creatures of nature live?" a
realistic answer would be that we are
never going to be able to educate people
to let the creatures live
Such education has been going on for
thousands of years.
Some progress has been made.
That is the best We can do, apparently
Maybe, after the world is tired of war,
In some golden tomorrow, men will
decide to let the creatures of nature live
as God intended them to live.
Who knows?
Stranger things have happened To
date, however. we do not seem to making
very good job of this sort OF education
1t is ALL as our correspondent points
out, matter of mind, and there are as
many minds as there are men. Men and
boys who shoot and kill animals do not
think they are doing anything wrong
And it is, of course, excellent training
for repelling the enemy. The man who,
as boy, never handled a gun, is hand
fellow human being who has been or
dered to go out and kill him.
Proper use of fire arms, in mans
present state of, shall we call 1t civiliza-
ton, involves supervision
We know one fine young man who was
brought up by his parents to be a skeet
shooter. Skeet, by the way, Is form Of
clay pigeon shooting. 1t Is a game, and
an excellent one
This boy got all the fun out of shoot
ing, and at the same time he did not
kill anything.
He also got the proper training, be-
coming an excellent marksman,
Supervised shooting in universal mill
tary training, and as a sport, with social
implications, may in the future take the
place of prowling through the woods
! aimlessly shooting down valuable birds.

Louis XVI

A century and half ago today
the French people, risen in revolt,
destroyed their king. It was on
January 81, 1898, that Louis XVI
was guillotined He had lived 38
years, 4 months and s28 days, and
little is remembered to his credit
save the courage and the dignity
with which he approached his end.
The business of ruling a nation never
had attracted him. Succeeding his
grandfather in 1774, he soon dis
missed Turgot, his best adviser
Thereafter, until 1881, he put his
trust in Necker and other less worthy
counselors. Conditions throughout
the country gradually became in
tolerable. The meeting of the states
general on May 4, 1889, marked the
beginning of the revolution. BY July
ID it was a demonstrated fact that
the ancient regime was doomed. The
taking of the Bastille symbolized the
danger of the royal family.

rebellion might have been turned
back had the sovereign been a person
of strong and determined character.
Unfortunately for himself and for
those dependent upon him, he was
weak and uncertain. Some historians
refer to him as being mentally dull" ="
In any case, he was slow-and in that
circumstance lay the principal cause
of his ruin While he tediously tried
to make up his mind, the Jacobins
acted. The king was forced to accept
the constitution in 1890. He was
compelled to take the oath as a
constitutional ruler in 1871. But his
enemies were relentless. They grew
in power from month to month as
the war against Austria progressively
failed. On June 20, 1892, the Tuileries
was invaded by the Paris mob: on
August 10, the palace was captured

SILVER SPRING, Nd.
Dear Sir:

Lear S1r,
Il am constant reader and admirer
OF your column This and That and have
learned many things about the birds
from your writings since I moved to
suburbs and began bird watching in
earnest several years ago.
i have had lot of enjoyment from
my observations, but have also felt sad
about some of the happenings I have
seen among these feathered friends. For
instance right now, I am concerned
about fine big bird that has been a
daily visitor to my feeding station since
the early fall
"A red-bellied woodpecker, I believe it
was. He had beautiful red head and
gray and white mixed feathers on wings
and back long bill and gentle face
Il never saw him bother or fight with
any OF the other birds. He would come
and get his sunf1ower seed and take 1t
to nearby tree and eat 1t and then come
back for more.
Now for the past three weeks this
bird has been absent from the feeder and
fear he has been the victim of some
ones destructive mind. see some of the
boys in the neighborhood with BIB guns
and l believe there may be some who do
not appreciate the beauty of wild life and
would think 1t good sport to destroy one
of its creatures.
II do not understand why parents
allow and encourage children to have
these instruments, but they seem to do
SO.
I am sure that most people are inter-
ested in the birds and feed them and
want to have them around. 1t is hard
to believe that any one could be mean
enough to harm them, but it only takes
one culprit to wipe out the lives of
several of these fine creatures and I do
not see many OF this kind of bird around,
in fact, have only seen the one.
Il also feel that were he alive he would
come to the feeder for seeds as he has
done so frequently the last few months.
How are we ever going to educate people
to let the creatures Of nature live?
Sincerely yours z. B."
This correspondents woodpecker prob
ably left on jaunt.
1t is rather unusual for one Of these
birds to remain so long at one feeding
place.
In our experience we have found that
few of the woodpeckers remain in one
yard for any length of time.
The chances are that this red-bellied
woodpecker has gone to the woods, being
frightened away by the boys with their
guns.
Just where the youngsters managed to
ind shot for their BIB guns is mystery.
We knew one person who tried all over
Washington recently to purchase an air
rifle and shot for 1t.
After many hours search, he was able
to locate one air rife, but no shot,
either of the lead or steel variety.

Argues for Priority
On Food in War Economy.

To the Editor of The Star:
Food and Freedom" is slogan point
ed at the people of Europe and admirably
suited to kick up trouble for Hitler in
the conquered and neutral countries.
The first part of that promise could
be fulfilled by our farmers, but only if
the handicaps now imposed on them by
our Government were removed.
First, there must be Withdrawn the
|. order stopping the manufacture of farm
machinery.
Next is to return to the farms the farm
draftees and try to get those farm
hands back from other war plants enticed
by the dollar and pay them war industry
wages. Food is war goods. What use are
guns without food?
Whether our country could stand the
expense of feeding all those other peo-
Piles Is another question.
Anyway. that added farm expense of
super high wage, even if only for our
own supply will have to be paid by all
of the people of this Nation, and there
fore must be covered by taxes.
The present idea of loading this extra
high war wage expense ON the farmer
will not do. He can't possibly carry that
heavy burden alone, and should not be
asked to.
Farm products prices should not be
made higher, even by some puzzling par
ity method, That would be bad 1t
would simply create a vicious rising
spiral of living costs and wages Yet
Washington is still fiddling around with
a parity method.
But the job can be done by a cost-plus
plan, very similar to that the Govern
ment now uses to pay some manufac-
turers OF other war goods. This is the
idea briefly stated:
The farmer producing foods specified
by his Government to be paid by it, in
addition to what the ceiling price brings,
the difference between that ceiling price,
or cost If greater, and higher figure
that would give the producer prede-
termined percentage of profit or a
fixed fee" as New Dealers prefer. 4
II this or similar plan is not adopted,
the farmer nevertheless will produce
what food he can with his limited labor
and machinery-but that can only result
In food shortage and disaster,
