MESSAGE of Fellowship

People of all religious groups and
people of none surely will be i'm
pressed by the beauty and grace of
the letter which five Christian and
Gentle clergymen have sent to the
rabbi of the Washington Hebrew
Congregation. Something more than
the mere expression of good will Is
involved in the communication A
brotherhood of the spirit plainly may
be discerned through the words of
the message. It's authors said: I'm
the observance of the Day of Atone
ment by the Jewish household of
faith, you are calling not only your
people to put on sack cloth and ashes
and walk humbly before God, but
you are also calling us of the Chris
tian faith to repent of our sins and
guilt, and to a new realization OF
our utter dependence on Him who is
our refuge and strength
The impact of compelling times is
manifest in the words: Our hearts
are bowed with yours in deep sor-
row as we witness the unbelievable

sian despotS or by any other future
hegemony in Central Europe
On the other hand an independent
Austria would necessarily welcome eco
nomic and even political cooperation, in
terms Of full equality, with the other
Central European and in particular
Danubian nations with which Austria
lived in common through centuries.
1t is complete lack of historical
understanding to believe that Austria
is small nation Of few millions of
people somewhere near the Balkans. 1t
seems that also some of the more in
fluential politicians amongst the United
Nations are not fully aware of the
fact that Austria is, in virtue of its
geographical location, the keystone of
Central Europe and that the possession
Of this country opens the way to the
domination of the center of the Euro
pean continent and even of Eastern
Europe. This was proved by Hitler's
march of conquest which began with
the occupation of Austria. The con-
sequence of these few considerations
seems to be that the future peace must
avoid the grave mistakes of 1919. Sta
bility in the heart of Europe cannot be
attained save by restoration of a really
independent Austria, given possibilities
of living worthy of her history and the
cultural achievement of her people.

Answer to Business Inquiry
In Light of Taxes.

To the Editor of The Star:
A clothing store in Washington is
sending out letter to old customers,
in order to find out the reasons for an
apparent loss Of patronage.
This is copy of my reply:
Here's the answer: You can't eat your
cake and have it, too; no more can you
have your pay withheld for taxes and
spend it, too.
MY clothing is going to be good deal
closer to worn out, for some time to come,
when I discard it, than in the past. MY
wardrobe is not depleted and will not
come in for replenishment for fairly
long time.
when the time comes to buy more
and this probably will not be before 1914
has passed into history-I expect taxes
and living costs will still be high, so,
when that time comes and seek clothes,
or any other merchandise, my eyes will
be peeled closer than ever to find the
best possible return for my money. I
shall not forget your store when that
time comes.
80, this is my cents worth-in con-
sideration for your 2 cents worth Che
envelope you enclosed for reply)."
The foregoing Is only one little straw
to indicate which way the wind will blow
when the present administrations pro-
f1igate extravaganza, plus the costs Of
war, bring to us their whirlwind harvest.

Danger in Delayed
Offensive Seen.

To the Editor of The Star:
A worrying thought in the war against
Germany is the possibility that when
Russia has driven the Germans out of
Russia she may fortify and garrison her
boundary. but not proceed further
against Germany. Russia is unlikely to
make a separate peace, but, on the other
hand, she may feel that in eXpelling the
Germans from her soil, or what she con-
ceives should be her soil, at tremen-
dous sacrifice to herself she has done her
part and that the other members of
the Allied nations should do the rest.
Should such be the case, Germany, with
static condition on her eastern front,
would be able to throw nearly her whole
strength against Britain and the United
States and in such a case might also
secure aid from Japan. Prior to the
time when any such contingency may
arise We should throw against Germany
every ounce of our land and air strength
not required for limited action against
Japan. An agreement with Russia to
continue aggressive action until the
Allied armies meet in Germany would
be extremely desirable and would hasten
the day when full Allied strength may
be thrown against Japan.

tragedies Of our day. We ask almost
fearfully, How long, o Lord, wilt
Thou be patient with us who share
in the present unprecedented evils?'"
A partial answer follows in the
declaration: But we with you are
not altogether dismayed, for our trust
is in Him who through the ages past
has guided His people through many
dark and dangerous waters. We
trust that in these awful days all
of us will, with contrite hearts, reach
out our hands toward the extended
hand of our common God and say
with new resolution, 'Henceforth we
walk with Thee"
The whole community of the Ma
tion's Capital should be proud of
such a confession, such a promise,
such a dedication. A great tradition
of fellowship and tolerance and
charity is represented in it.

Reform

BY the dictionary, a reformer is
one who seeks to remedy evil condi-
tions. The definition is broad enough
to cover physician, but he would
hardly welcome the title. Few are
brave enough to welcome it; as a
class, reformers are not popular.
Most of the opposition may be laid to
the strong arm efforts of a minority
who forget the old maxim that more
flies are caught by molasses than by
vinegar.
The Democratic Governor of Okla
homa, now going into the reform
business, has not forgotten. Far
from it; he sticks literally and truly
to the copy book. Two problems have
been on his mind recently How to
promote Nation wide popularity for
Oklahoma's sorghum molasses and
what to do about an alarming and
dangerous increase of Republicans.
Now, by a brilliant stroke, he pro-
poses to kill both birds with the same
jug-a jug of good old Democratic
Oklahoma sorghum to be sent to
Governor Dewey of New York with
the remark that ut ought to be good
for what ails Republicans. But the
principal thing that ails Republican
is, oddly enough, Democrat, and it
is hard to see how the gift of any
Democratic grocery, be it sorghum,
soft soap, baloney or banana oil, will
make him change.

From the Montreal Star.
On the initiative of the Ottawa Latin
America Club and backed by similar Or
CARNATIONS in other Canadian cities this
country is to take its first step in cele-
brating the anniversary of the landing
OF Christopher Columbus on a Bahamian
Island four hundred and fifty-one years
ago on the twelfth of this October. Co.
lumbus Day" is a long established minor
celebration in the United States, but for
some reason nobody in Canada-unless
memory is at fault-has ever before sug-
gested that this country should assist in
Keeping alive the anniversary of an
event in which we are-or should be
equally interested.
That Columbus was the first transat-
lantic sailor to set foot on this continent
is of course no longer suggested Co.
lumbuS was comparatively late ar
rival, if one may believe both sagas
and archaeologists. However, whether
Left Ericsson, "Old King CORN and
Blue-Tooth Harold" and many another
Scandinavian sea-rover did or did not
get to North America before the famous
Genoan, nothing ever came of it. An
explorer, like any other man. is Judged
by posterity largely by the results of his
activities. On this score, at least, Co.
lumbus Is the greatest of them all, and it
is fitting that this country, which, after
all, has as good reason to do SO as have
our neighbors, should honor his memory.

Asks Prayer
For Senate Guidance.

To the Editor OF The Star:
In response to recent informal poll
by the Associated Press on the lasting
peace" proposals of the Fulbright reso-
luton, Senator Holman OF oregon, is
quoted to have declared 1T is a good
deal like voting for the Lords Prayer,
but I'll vote for it."
Some one has said that: "As between
the great things We can't do and the
lesser things we won't do, the world has
gone to ruin" Verify, it has.
Final determination of what We-the
United States-Will or will not do to
insure maintenance of postwar world
peace lies, under constitutional pro-
vision, with the United States Senate.
Might one not wish that the wide
awake chaplain of that body pray that
it be guided by the lamp of experience
and lessons of history-as well as divine
guidance-in dealing with this matter,
which lesson is that resolutions. however
grandiloquent in phrase or well intended,
unless implemented with power, never
yet stopped a bullet?

this background, his selection as first
ranking officer OF the British Navy
has an encouraging significance. Our
people respect him, like him and get
along with him. That sort of rela-
tionship between the Allied COM
manders will become more important
as the war goes on. Clashing per-
sonalitieS at the top, anti-British
or anti-American prejudices on

to the Allied cause than Hitler's le-

He Gets AIonq With Us

No British officer has won higher
commendation from his American
colleagues than Admiral Sir Andrew
Browne Cunningham, who has Just
been made first sea lord and chief
of the naval staff. They admire him
for his professional abilities. But
they admire him most for his wholly
disinterested spirit of effective CO.
operation with his allies. Some
members of the American high COM
mand credit the success of the North
African landings in 1912 largely to
Sir Andrew General Eisenhower

merely as a commander of naval
forces, but in his genuine desire to
throw in everything he had to help
the Americans. General Marshall
has been singing his praises for
months and Admiral King speaks of
him without qualification as one of
the great leaders OF the war. Against

some time, but as they grow older scat
ter and fed singly.
while they are sometimes abundant
they do little damage to shrubs or rees,
probably because of their habit of scat
tering and their lack of preference for
any particular plant.
THE so-called 'puss moth caterpillars
of the family Megalopygidae CLOSELY re-
lated to the Limacodidae) also possess
singing spines and are frequently re-
ported as causing painful injury.
THE commonest species, especially in
our Southern States, is Megalopyge oper-
cularis CA. and s.. 1t is short stout
caterpillar completely covered with a
dense coat of long silky brown hairs
which project upward to form crest
along the back and backward to form a
short tail.
Among these hairs are hidden barbed
and poisonous spines, which cause injury
similar to that of the saddleback The
puss moths have two generations in the
Southern States, moths appearing from
April to June, and again from late Au-
gust to early October. In the neighbor-
hood Of Dallas, Tex, full-grown cater
pillars are most numerous during June
and July, and again in September and
October
They feed on a great variety Of trees
and have been reported as doing occa-
sional damage to citrus and apple Or
chards.
when fully developed the caterpillar
makes tough brown silk cocoon, which
it attaches to a leaf or twig much as
does the saddleback. The cocoon IS urn-
shaped, bumped in the middle. tapering
at the posterior end and with a fiat
hinged flap at the forward end, which
is pushed open when the moth emerges.
The larva overWinters in the cocoon
and pupates in the spring Each female
lays from 300 to 900 eggs in rows in
the form of an are, usually on leaf or
on several leaves. There are from 8 to
II eggs in each row, and the eggs are
usually covered with long yellow hairs
from the body Of the moth
Another caterpillar with severe sting
Is that of the 10 moth, Automeris 10 (F).
: When full grown, 1t is about 2la
inches long. bright green with mar
row. white-bordered red stripe along
each side and armed on back and sides
with large branching spines mostly green,
but with few black spines interspersed.
The green spines are poisonous ard
very sharp. They break off in the skin
and cause painful irritation. This
larva feeds on a number of forest trees
and other plants, but does them no
appreciable damage.
Because of its conspicuous color, size
and spines, it is usually easily recog-
nized and Is seldom touched or han
died and therefore not often reported
for its sting which is probably as severe
as that of the 'saddleback' or the
'puss caterpillar"
This column is not sure that the latter
two caterpillars are found around here,
but can vouch for the saddleback, an
excellent specimen of which We saw re-
Gently on an ivy leaf When put in
tumbler, it very slowly tried to crawl out,
plainly showing why it is called a slug
caterpillar.
Evening star., 1943-10-09

Here is some additional information
about the saddleback caterpillar, dis
cussed here last week.
We are indebted to the Bureau Of
Entomology and Plant Quarantine, De-
partment of Agriculture, for the follow
ing:
Among the numerous hairy and spiny
caterpillars in this country very few
have any singing properties or are
dangerous to handle. One Of these, how
ever, is of considerable Importance for
it is widely distributed in the Eastern
and Central States and is frequently re-
ported as causing painful injury.
1T is a sluglike caterpillar of the
family Limacodidae known scientifically
as Sibine stimulea (Clemens). The genus
Sibine contains large number of species
in tropical America, all with 'stinging"
caterpillars; but in the United States
only the one species, stimulea, is found
north Of Florida.
Its caterpillar is thick. short (about
seven-eighths of an inch long when full
grown, bluntly rounded at each end,
brown in color and with bright green
patch covering most of the back
In the center of the green patch is
smaller, oval, brown patch, resembling
brown saddle on a green saddle cloth,
from which the insect gets the name
'saddleback.' In front and behind the
green patch are pairs Of spined processes
like elongate hairy warts, and along each
side of the caterpillar a row of much
shorter spined warts.
The spines are barbed very sharp
and contain a poisonous fluid. They
penetrate the skin easily, when the ca
terpillar is touched, break off and uber-
ate their poison in the wound The
result is a painful and often severe rash.
There has been considerable exaggera-
ton about this, and eXtravagant reports
have been circulated about the serious
effects Of the sting upon children
* 4
"Any serious after-effects are prob
ably the result of later infection of the
wounds or fright. However, although
the sting is sometimes severe, especially
on tender skin. 1t is not Of itself produc-
tive Of any lasting injury.
The species has one generation a
year, the caterpillars Matching in mid
summer and feeding until early fall.
They eat the leaves of wide variety Of
trees and low plants, feeding either On
the upper or under surfaces OF the leaves
and are therefore frequently unnoticed
until accidentally touched.
In the fall the caterpillar spins a
hard brown cocoon Of about the size and
shape of filbert. This is usually at
tached to twig or to the bark of the
shrub or tree on which the caterpillar
last fed, and in this cocoon the insect
passes the winter and spring.
In early summer OF the following
year the adult emerges. 1t is a velvety
brown, hairy-bodied moth from one inch
to one and one-half inches in wing ex-
panse, with two or three small white dots
on the fore wing a short distance from
its apex.
The moths fly at twilight. The fe-
male lays her eggs in patches Of from
80 to so on the upper surface of leaf.
They hatch in about 10 days. The newly
Matched caterpillars feed together for
