Berries are too precious to waste
and none will be wasted if you will
see to it that every step taken is
the right one. First of all, wash,
rinse and examine your jars. Be
sure to inspect the top edges of
those to be sealed with glass top
seal or two-piece vacuum seal clo-
sures because top seals refuse to
work unless tops Of the jars are per-
feet. Cover jars. glass lids, and
zinc caps with luke-warm water,
heat to boiling and keep hot until
needed. Wash and rinse rubbers
and vacuum seal lids and drop them
in boiling water-they don't need
boiling unless you plan to do, old
fashioned open kettle canning-then
they must be boiled few minutes to
sterilize.
Every berry must be fresh, sound,
ripe, and firm. Wash them carefully
and then take your choice of can
ming methods.

MussOlini Is Right

Before the bombing of Rome Premier Mussolnl
advised the Italian people that they "must convince
themselves that this war does not admit alternatives
and that Italy must either win or have dshonorable
peace which will degrade her to fourth or nth rank
among the powers"
For once. Benito has it correctly. When the war
is over there is not much doubt but that Germany
Italy and Japan will be fourth or fifth rate powers.
This will be because they have never been any
thing hut fourth and fifth rate powers far as the
good Of mankind is concerned, although they took to
mitarism in the false idea that it would make them
first rate powers.
It may be observed that no peace can be more
dishonerable than the in which Italians now en-
gage Mussolinis idea that with France OUT OF tne
yar the conflict would end and that Italy would reap
a large harvest of stolen gains was erroneous

came to the attention" of the FBI.
Realizing that she was caught, the
young woman thereafter worked
with the FBI, and through her the
other members Of the ring were
identified and the necessary evidence
against them was accumulated.
The point of this recital is that the
apprehension of enemy agents some
times is a slow business. On the basis
of an original tip, the FBI could
rush in and make an arrest but this
would only warn the other members
of the espionage group and might
prevent our own authorities from
getting a complete picture of their
activities. Hence, it sometimes Is
desirable to let spies have a little
rope, while keeping them under close
surveillance. This is something for
the public to remember when it NAV
seem that the FBI is making haste
too slowly.

Another variation arises because
all of Prince Georges and Montgom-
cry Counties in Maryland have been
included this time. although in 1910
only parts of the counties were in
cluded. However, the percentage in
crease for the area has been esti-
mated on the basis of this variation.
At the first of the year, the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission calculated the metro
politan population, using about the
same geographical area as the Bu-
reau of Census in 1910. at 100000.
This is higher than the Census Bu-
reau figure, but the latter includes
only civilians. In view of the varia-
tions in the geographical areas used
by the bureau, and the different
figures of the NCPPC and the Board
of Trade. residents of the Washing
ton area will just have to pay their
money and take their choice" until
the next decennial census of 1850.

How Spies Are Couqht

It is significant that the Depart
ment of Justice, in announcing that
the FBI had broken up a nest of
German spies in Detroit, specified
that the arrests of these agents
climaxed an investigation that was
begun four years ago.
In September, 1899, the war in
Europe was just getting under way
And it was in that month that a
patriotic citizen" notified the FBI
that one Guyula Rozinek, an en-
ploye of chemical plant in San
Francisco, was a former German
Army captain and had been heard to
say that Hitler is not only my
Fuehrer, but my God" FBI agents
in three cities went to work on the
case, and RoZinek was later arrested
in San Francisco and ordered de-
ported. At this point Mrs. Theresa
Behrens of Detroit appeared to post
bond for him. When Mrs. Behrens,
prior to Rozinek'S deportation, told
immigration authorities that she was
100 per cent for Hitler" she, too,
came under investigation, and now
has been arrested as a spy.
Meanwhile, Rozinek's wife, Sari
de Hajek, Hungarian exchange
student and Vassar graduate, was
touring the country, posing as a
dancer and lecturer. Actually, &C
cording to the FBI, she had been
sent here by the Hungarian govern
ment, and was primarily active as a
propaganda and in gathering infor-
nation on various aspects of our
early defense effort.
After a while Sari de Hajek re-
turned to Budapest, and there, with
the assistance Of her deported hus-
band, she enrolled Grace Buchanan
Dineen, a wealthy and attractive
young Canadian woman, in the Ger
man espionage service. In October
1941, Grace -Dineen en-

suited In further traveSties on Justice,
Serious complications surrounding the
establishment of a special international
tribunal for the trial of war criminals
were referred to in the dissenting re.
port OF Messrs. Lansing and Scott which
apply equally to the present situation.
To mention only one of these complica-
tions, the question was raised as to the
representation of the United States on
an international commission to try
alleged crimes committed during the
period from 1914-1917, before the United
States entered the war. A similar ques-
tion was raised as to the participation of
the United States in the trial of ac-
cuSed persons nationals of the countries
with which the United States was not
at war. Like questions may now be
raised with reference to the representa-
tion Of both the United States and
Soviet Russia on an international war
crimes commission.
The method proposed by the American
delegates in 1919 and adopted in the
peace treaty was designed to avoid
such complications by trying violations
of the laws and customs of war before
the military tribunals of the Allied
armies which obtain custody of the
accused and against whose nations the
crimes have been committed. The
failure Of the Allied armies to gain
custody of the war criminals by occupy
ing Germany, coupled with the delay
in attempting to enforce penalties until
after the peace treaty was signed, con-
tributed to the failure of 1919 Incident
ally, it should be added that the armi-
stice of November II, 1918, provided that
mo person shall be prosecuted for par
ticipation in military measures prior to
the signatures of the armistice." Con-
trast this provision with the armistice
of 1915 between France and the Allied
generals, the first terms of which stipu-
lated that Napoleon Bonaparte was to
be delivered up
The punishment of war criminals is a
part of the process of ending the war
and should not be carried over into the
re-estabishment of peace Military tri-
bunaS, by their law and procedure, are
adapted to administering direct, speedy
and effective penalties. Once peace is
established every attempt should be
made to make it a real peace, which
cannot be humanity expected if the
vanquished peoples are to be subjected
to period of long-drawn- out trials of
their nationals before an international
tribunal. If the terrible aerial bombings
to which the enemy cities and popula-
tions are now being subjected and will
continue to be subjected until the end
of the war do not prove in the public
conscienc. to be sufficient retribution for
the crimes committed during the war
and We still wish to exact an "eye for
eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand,
foot for foot" let us pursue that policy
in the most direct, speedy and effective
way by bringing the war crimin ais,
including Hitler himself If need be- be-
fore the summary justice of military
tribunals and have the bloody business
over with before the constructive work

Metropolitan Area Growth

In its latest civilian population
estimate for March for metropoli-
tan areas of the. Nation. the Bureau
of the Census has thrown further
light on the growth of the Wash
ington area. In terms of percentage,
the District of Columbia and sub
urban sections are credited with an
increase of 235 per cent since the
decennial census of April /, 1910.
This. represents total estimated
population of 1,181 ,026 for the area.
The bureau did not give any break
down for the counties of Maryland
and Virginia included in the Metro
politan Area, nor for Alexandria city,
but it is explained that in terms of
percentage the population increased
more ir Virginia than in the District,
but that Maryland increased less
than the District. BY subtracting
the bureaus estimate of Washington
proper for 1943-839 ,013-the sub
urban area, not including Fairfax
County, Va. would be 342,0l3.
While these new figures throw
light on the population situation,
unfortunately some shadows of un-
known quantities still exist. For
instance, the 1910 census included
parts of Fairfax County. while the
new figure eliminates it. This was
done, 1t was said, because less than
half of its population in 1940 was in

According to PIon

Away back when the airplane was
a flying machine and looked like a
sewing machine with wings, the
pilots plan of operation was simple.
He would take off. fly around a bit
with the greatest of uneaSe, breathe
a prayer, rap wood and land. If he
could walk away afterWard, the
fight was success. A few years
later more ambitious programs were
attempted. He would actually plan
to go places, as the saying goes-but
the wise one never said where. With
simple, unaffected nonchalance he
would refrain from announcing any
destination in advance. The ad-
vantage was enormous; wherever he
came down could be. and was, the
planned goal.
Though the airplane is no longer
primitive, this primitive strategy
originated on it's account is still good
in Germany. The war communicates
prove 1t. Every time the NaZis take
fearful pasting, the nation is told
that the army is moving steadily and
vigorously according to plan. BY
the elementary but devilish device of
keeping the plan secret. it becomes
impossible ever to catch the propa-
ganda ministry off base. 1t can al
ways be right, up to the very end,

CHEVY CHASE, Nd.

Dear Sir:
Here is a note of warning for those
who feed the birds. Everybody is being
warned, threatened and criticized, and
friends of birds ought not to escape.
Let me warn them in a good way.
Here is my warning Be careful about
using any wire mesh in connection with
a feeding station. I tried recently to
keep some pigeons out Of the feeder.
First I tried chicken wire around it, but
this permitted the birds inside to throw
out grain in circle around, the feeder
being on the ground.
Il thought would Ak that, so I took
some screening and placed 1t around the
bottom, so that no seed could be scattered
around.
"One day, as went out into the yard,
I noticed something black hanging from
the top of the mesh.
Il hurried over, and found 1t Was 4
sparrow, dangling by his feet. Evidently
his claws had caught in the fine mesh,
and the more he struggled, the harder
it held him.
He was hanging head down.
Il had some dif1culty in releasing his
feet 1 held him in my hand, and saw
that he was all right, but very much
frightened. Gradually the glazed look in
his eyes turned bright, and I realized that
he wanted to get away.
This was the first time had ever
held a wild bird in my hand, and 1 was
surprised at how really light they are.
Just an ounce or two, guess.
When I opened my fingers, he darted
away at speed of at least go miles an
hour, none the worse for his trapping.
Il believe that 1t would be q good
thing If all bird lovers would look over
their feeding devices. and see If there
are any ways in which their friends
could be caught.
Il do not know how long a bird can
remain upside-down without permanent
harm. The sooner one In this situation
is rescued, imagine. the better
Sincerely yours ]. D."
Birds are always getting themselves
trapped by vines, strings and fencing.
They seem rather dumb about it, too.
Once 1t is entangled. bird seems to
have no idea Of how to get loose.
Nor do its relatives.
Even its mate is of no help at all to it.
After time, the others win fly away, as
If giving up the trapped bird as bad job.
Just how long a songbird might re-
main upside-down is question. No
doubt they can breathe in such a posi-
ton, but fright might end their existence
at any time.
There is always a chance that vine or
piece of cord or string will catch around
the neck, and that the bird may be
strangled by its own struggles.
We seldom think of vines as a source
of danger to birds Ordinarily the crea-
lures fly in and out of vines without
harm. There is nothing many species

Yet often the tendrils grow in such q
way as to make loops in which bird claws

Long pieces of cord are more dangerous
than vines, because they lack the natural

Often householders put out long

short lengths, not more than three or
four inches, at the most.
Anything longer is very likely to twist

The person who feeds the birds and
thus helps to conserve one of our best
natural and national resources must do
a certain amount of planning for them.
He must conduct his own safety first"
campaign for the birds.
This will involve, above all, keeping an
ear and eye open for them.
They are not helpless. in any real
sense, but only when they meet problems
which, in their very nature, they are not
able to solve.
Usually this will involve some of mans

realize how a slight turn of the wheel

1t Is the same with birds. As long az
