New Deal Blamed for Floods
And Transport Troubles,

To the Editor OF The Star:
More New Deal chickens have come
home to roost. The past and present
appeasement policy OF the OPA toward
B and c cardholders. of course, Is d.
rectly responsible for the present gas
shortage. Potential voters have been
permitted to waste the available gaso-
line until 1t has finally been necessary
to curtail public transportation.
And wasn't 1t typical of New Deal
appeasement policies to order corporate
users Of gasoline to curtau by 40 per
cent while permitting the B and c
cardholders to use any gasoline which
they can obtain? The New Deal slogan
apparently is Soak the corporations and
appease the voters"
And, talking about New Deal chickens,
no one should forget that this admin
istration refused to have any substan-
tial funds appropriated for flood con-
troll during the lush days Of the CWA
and WPA. Leaf-raking was considered
much more effective for garnering votes
than flood control. Possibly those rem
dered homeless by the present floods will
remember. These various chickens have
way Of delaying our war effort.

Insiqniu

The National Geographic Society,
through the June number of the
National Geographic Magazine, rem
ders a service to persons suffering
from insignia confusion" DR.. Gill
bert Grosvenor, president and editor,
more than a year ago assigned a
research staff to the study of the
symbols of the Army. Navy. Marine
Corps and Coast Guard. Nearly a
thousand different photographs now
have been reproduced "in correct
color and automatically described"
The result should be at least meas
urable correction of a visual be-
wilderment which has afflicted the
public since the start of the Second
World War.
DR.. Grosvenor, in his preface, de-
clares: Authorities of the armed
forces consider insignia not only an
aid to recognition and a spur to
pride but means of establishing
and maintaining discipline";; and
Arthur E. Du Bois, chief Of the
Heraldic Section of the Office of the
Quartermaster General of the War
Department. explains: Insignia - =
are distinguishing devices of author
ity, rank. office or service. To
which service man belongs, what
rank he holds, what skills he has
these are some of the questions
which insignia answer. Sleeves,
shoulders, lapels and collars, as we'll
as hats and breasts of uniforms, are
thus adorned. Devices are made of
metal, embroidered or woven cloth;
lately, plastics. Colors are most
effective when solid and substantial
gold or yellow, silver or white, blue,
red, green, purple and black. Once
adopted, designs are followed faith
fully"
OF course, there is nothing really
new in the custom of marking q
mans costume for identification pur-
poses. Even the most primitive
savages decorate themselves. The
peoples of ancient Egypt, Crete,
Greece and Rome wore uniforms and
badges. So, too, the peasants and
merchants and not exclusively the
knights and clergy of the Middle
Ages habitually distinguished their
individual status from that Of their
neighbors by means Of symbols

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trnce1Dell.

tonight's Star about the Baltimore oriole,
I have concluded to give you the list, as
nearly as can remember them I have
made no trips down to the river, nor
anywhere, indeed, off the main grounds
of the post, so that the variety of birds
is necessarily limited. The list follows:
Turkey vulture, bald eagle, osprey
Bob White (heard) rock dove, mourning
dove, black-billed cuckoo. great horned
owl (heardD, chimney swift, humming-
bird. kingflsher flicker, red d-headed wood
pecker, downy woodpecker
"Kingbird. crested f1ycatcher, wood
pewee, bank swallow, blue jay. crow,
Carolina chickadee, tufted titmouse,
brown creeper, house wren. goldfnch
red-eyed towhee, mockingbird, catbird,
brown thrasher.
Robin, wood thrush. olive backed
thrush, golden-crowned kinglet, cedar
waxwing, startling, yellow-throated vireo,
red-eyed vireo, warbling vireo, black and
white warbler. magnolia warbler, myrtle
warbler, blackpoll warbler.
Pine warbler, yellow throat, redstart.
English sparrow. Baltimore oriole,
bronzed grackle, scarlet tanager cardinal,
indigo bunting, chipping sparrow, field
sparrow, wnite-crowned sparrow and
song sparrow.
If your correspondent would come out
to the post he would find the Baltimore
orioles whistling In the trees almost every
where. They and the scarlet tanager
have been especially numerous The
also numerous, and the warbling vireo
not so plentiful.
Il am glad. too that you have come to
the defense of the starting If one will
listen at this time of the year, when they
are mating. he will be surprised at the
delicate and unusual song of this bird
While this bird is perhaps an unfortunate
importation, like the English sparrow, my
observation is that it is not quarrelsome
| and does not drive off other birds which
is such common criticism, usually un-
warranted. Our favorite mocker is much
more belligerent. believe it will be ab-
sorbed eventually and take it's place
! along with our other birds.
Few birds become real pests except in
| certain localities and upon certain occa-
sions, usually induced by food supply
when they become too numerous. In
telligent control of local conditions is
usually all that is required.
Wishing YOU continued success with
This and That, I am
Sincerely yours, S. A. H."
! This excellent letter shows what one
may do in bird observation without
! glasses
On the So different species which We
| have seen in our own small garden
binoculars were seldom used.
1t is possible, by noting the size anc
color, and points of difference, to identify
most Of the birds even the smaller ones
without the use of glasses of any kind.
Birds are among our finest natural re.
sources, and they help us by helping
growers to save their crops
Every crumb put out for the birds
means hundred insect saboteurs killed
Feed the birds for victory!

HARRINGTON STREET S.W.
Dear Sir

Dear Sir.
Il have been assigned to temporary
job in the War Department, doing some
editorial work. and have been here since
the latter part of March. I have been
interested in your column, which devotes
good deal of space to my pet subject,
birds. I am licensed bird bander in
Minnesota, Illinois, North Carolina and
Florida. I spent most OF my life in
Northern Illinois and retired to Florida
about five years ago.
while Florida has unique and at
tractive bird population which has given
me renewed interest in my pet subject,
I am happy in this opportunity to renew
my acquaintance with the Northern
spring and Northern migratory and resi-
dent birds. Burroughs, who, as you
doubtless know. got some OF the material
for his first book, Wake Robin from
tramps along Rock Creek, said that bird
men were born and not made, but I am
happy that the interest in birds and
their protection has been greatly In
creased during the last few years and
columns like yours have helped in this
development.
Il arrived in Washington just about the
time you announced the first wood
thrush, and heard them just about the
date you mentioned in the woods ad-
1acent to the new buildings going up in
the Congress Heights neighborhood.
They always give me a tremendous thrill.
The mocking bird, our Florida favorite,
is great musician, but his song is so
different in quality that comparisons are
hardly fair. The mocker of course lacks
the spiritual quality that the wood thrush
has, and the only singer in America that
has more of this divine quality than the
wood thrush is his cousin, the hermit.
Il am familiar with the hermit thrush s
song. as I have lived and camped and
canoed a good deal in the North country,
where 1t nests and sings at It's best 1t
is lndescrlbable. AS you know, 1t resem-
bles the song OF the wood thrush but
aside from its slightly superior quality. it
contains one measure which sounds like
some little fairy had grabbed handful OF
harebells and was ringing them!
"Mv office is at a local fort. The post
Is surrounded by wooded country. espe-
cially on the Potomac River side. and
there are many birds. I have made no
especial attempt to seek out the birds, as
I have very little leisure for doing so
But during the lunch hour I have walked
aimlessly about the roads and paths at
the edge of the post grounds for the past
six weeks or so and seen many OF my
old favorites
Il have not even carried my perfectly
good binoculars, because of the natural
suspicion which might be aroused by
such a practice during these times on an
Army post. I have therefore relied upon
my eyes. I have really been surprised
how much have been able to see in this
rather casual manner.
TT has occurred to me you might be
interested to know what birds have seen
in that small bit Of country immedia tely
adjacent to the post, and prompted by
the inquiry of your correspondent in

sigma constituting a. form OF short
hand, are kin to peacetime fancy
jerseys on the gridiron, to pins Of
fraternal lodges and college fratern-
tiles. The soldier, sailor, marine or
coast guardsman, displaying insignia,
makes known his organization and
his place within it."
The practical reasons for such
characterizations are many, but for
the average civilian bystander per-
haps the most impressive is that of
the utility of symbols in the recog-
milton of achievement. Designs worn
by soldier or a sailor are evidence
OF what he has done as we'll as to
what outfit" he belongs. The en-
cyclopedic monograph which DR..
Grosvenor and his collaborators have
produced will contribute to more
general comprehension of that fact.

A Menace Removed

The Senate Military Affairs Com
nittee did good days work yester-
day in tabling the Kilday bill, passed
by the House, which had as one of
its obiectives the temporary defer
,ment of fathers drafted for military
service. The unanimous vote of the
committee is an encouraging indica-
ton Of a growing realization that
nothing must be done by legislation
to handicap the military authorities
In discharge of their responsibility
to raise and train an adequate Army
and Navy.
AS presented to the House, the bill
was supported by the emotional plea
to preserve the American home"
and not to permit the draft of fathers
while eligible single men were left in
civilian life. There was a fetching
argument in the contention that
under present practice, married men
may be forced into the Army in one
draft area while single men, across
the street in another area are wait
Ing to be called up. Mr. Kilday, an
influential and respected member of
the House, also was concerned over
the work or fight" policy of the
ManpoWer Commission, invoked un-
der executive order to force men to
transfer from nonessential to war
Jobs.
But as shown in testimony before
the Senate committee, elimination of
some apparently inevitable Unequal
tiles between draft boards by State
wide selective service system. which
would have forbidden the draft of
fathers within a State as long as
eligible single men were available,
would have imposed an administra-
lively impossible task on the draft
authorities. Even were it feasible,
the result would have been chaotic
In It's effect on essential occupational
deferments as well as the necessary
procurement Of men for military
service. And had any deferment of
fathers been possible, it would have
been but temporary For the reser-
voir of available single men Is being
depleted now. Months ago General
Hershey said he was "scraping the
bottom of the barrel"
Contentious concerning the size of
the Army are not as frequent or as
sharp now as they were few months
ago. The further we go into the war.
the palmer it becomes that RESPONSE
bility for such technically military
decisions as the size of the armed
forces needed to fight this war is
best left to the military technicians.
Anything done to tie their hands
through arbitrary legislation is apt
to prolong the war and make more
difficult the Job facing our soldiers
already In uniform. AS for the pro-
lection Of the American home. the
best guarantee of that lies in defeat
Ing our enemies. They, and not the
operation Of the selective service
system, constitute the real threat to
the American home.

Appeals Court Vacancy

The resignation Of Associate JUS
tice Vinson from the United States
Court Of Appeals for the District to
take over as Director of Economic
Sterilization centers attention once
again on the deSirability of having
at least one representative of the
local bar on the appellate bench.
Since the death of Justice William
Hitz in 1885 the eligible members of
the District bar have been consis-
tently ignored in the making of ap-
pointments to the Court of Appeals.
Not one Of the six members of the
court who were sitting at the time
Of Justice Wilson'S resignation had
the familiarity with local practice
and procedure which can come only
from the active practice of law in this
Jurisdiction
This is not to say that the judges
now serving on the court have not
been competent and conscientious.
Quite the contrary is the case, and
the local community is thoroughly
appreciative of the service they have
rendered. But this does not detract
In any way from the force of the
reasons underlying the contention
that at least one member of the
Court of Appeals should be chosen
from the local bar
A large portion of the courts work
consists of passing on cases that are
strictly local in character. And in
most instances, as far as local liti-
cation is concerned, the Court Of
Appeals is the court of last resort
for District litigants For these rea-
sons. and in view of the further fact
that it is manifestly unjust to raise
an arbitrary barrier between out
standing members of the local bar
and the bench of the highest court
In the jurisdiction of their practice,
representatives of the Bar Associa-
tion's Committee on Judicial Ap-
pointments plan to call upon the
Attorney General next week to sub

Safety Programs Urged
In Advance Of End Of War.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Much is being said these days. pro and
con. concerning planning for the future
and the objectors are many. May I,
therefore, be permitted to discuss the
subject in relation TO field with which
I am somewhat familiar-the prevention
of injuries?
1t is well-known fact that a catas-
trophe, crisis or crucial emergency
is sometimes required to shock people
into action. The Boston holocaust,
Lidice, Pearl Harbor or something SINH
liar is frequently needed to awaken
people.
Columns were written about the Bos-
ton fire, but just how much has actually
been done to date as the result of a
recognition of the need for broadening
the approach and the whole scope Of our
conservation of manpover program? AS
I view it, it isn't enough to look upon
this program as temporary govern
mental undertaking for the purpose OF
conserving work-hours, or man-1ours or
for the efficient production of war goods
There Is need to look ahead-and there
Is vet time-to look ahead to the period
of transition after the war-to look ahead
to the problems that faced us before
during the early 20s and the early
'30s. Those who we're administering
workmen's compensation laws during
those years remember
Some planning is already under way
for the avoidance of a glorified prosperity,
which. very likely, would be followed by
another devastating depression, such as
we had after the First World War. Peo-
pie are beginning to understand that it
is a herculian task, not to eliminate all
accidents, but merely to bring frequency
and severity ratios within reasonable
bounds. But 1t seems somewhat doubt
full If the majority of us are willing to
concede that the safety and prevention
program should be permanently es-
tablished-as a governmental as we'll as
private institution. We are certainly not
aware that the transition period may
came on December 7, 1941. though many
talk glibly about an early ending, some
even naming the year and the month.
But whether the ending is soon or sud-
den, the governmental! machinery should
be so we'll oiled, and in such running
order. that both Government and indus
try will be faced with minimum rather
than maximum of perplexities.
Since Pearl Harbor the need has been
for production and more production; and
we faced that need with limited man
power. Not having planned wisely, or
enough, the cry for more planes, for more
ships, more tanks, more speed, suddenly
found us responding with the old, the
young, the inexperienced, the unit. What
else could we expect, then, but that the
normal stream of industrial life should
be swollen by deluge of industrial acci-
dents-if no adequate measures were
taken to keep that stream within bounds?
Certainly, we could not afford to take a
chance, and let the weak, the inf1rm. the
unskilled, the unframed, stem the tide,
and safeguard maximum production
And tomorrow will come suddenly
whether next month, Or next year, or
i've years from now. There viii be

change-change in 1oduction-possibly
lessened production, ct least for time.
But then the industrial plain will be
engulfed with manpower-fit and able
and willing. The cry, then, will be: Il
need job"
But there may not be enough Jobs.
And so. physically-f fit men will 20 to their
work with outside worries on their minds.
Can Mary have a new pair of shoes?"
Can We let Johnnie have his teeth
f1xed?" "Will We have enough for the
rent on the first?" will my Job last all
Wlnter?' These are the things that will
be bothering-these are the things that,
once again, will produce accident prone
workers.
There will be no more war wages,
while taxes will continue for long time
to come. There no longer will be blood,
but there will be sweat, tears. toll and
worry. The inspiration of patriotic fer
vor, also, will be gone: and. in place of
1t we may find. again. at least for a time.
laxness and carelessness; for getting
back to normalcy" will not be accom-
plished in day.
BY that time, therefore, the wisdom Of
providing adequate safety and prevention
programs should have been so thoroughly
established that we shall no longer talk
about getting back to normal, but that
actually we shall be taking such strides
IN the direction Of safe industrial prac-
tees so far beyond what now appears as
normal that men will be asking them
selves how they ever came to doubt
either the financial or the human bene-
f1ts to be derived from expenditures OF
effort, money or time for such program.
