all the household chores
The whole business happens some
thing like this Mama and papa
cuckoo get together and pick out four
or five likely nests Of other birds
in England usually the sedge warbler
or redstart or pied flycatcher; in
Australia the honey-eater; at any
rate, bird considerably smaller than
the cuckoo.
The hen cuckoo watches until the
other birds begin sitting on their
eggs and then she lays her own eggs
on the ground and, oddly enough,
nearly always they are the same color
and size as those in the nests.
Mama takes one of her eggs in
her claws and flies TO one Of the
chosen nests. Usually there is a fight,
but she manages TO drive the mother
bird from the nest long enough TO
deposit her own egg, often knocking
out two or three other eggs in the
process.
Then she repeats the procedure
in other nests until all of her eggs
are disposed of. She never puts more
than one of her eggs in a nest be-
cause she knows full we'll that IL

FOR some reason which nobody

has become synonymous with
everything that is foolish or flighty.
But as a matter of fact, the people
who believe that CUFF are just plain
stupid, or, as we say, cuckoo. In

to be determined. The Civil Aero
nautics Administration, in a recent
survey. warned that positive pro-
gram is needed. 1t foresaw an avi-
alton industry in 1855 that would
employ 100000 planes, carry 10000
600 passengers annually and directly
and indirectly provide jobs for 900,-
0G0 persons, providing the Federal
Government assists civil aviation by
some plan which would include a
national airport program and aids
to aviation education.
A policy, particularly of military
preparedness, that could be adopted
by the Government almost at once is
set out in the report of the Air Co.
ordinating Committee. This group
consists of William L. Clayton, AS
sistant Secretary of State, chairman;
Robert A. Lovett, Assistant Secre-
tary of War for Air; John L. Sulli-
van, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy for Air; William A. M. Bur-
den, Assistant Secretary of Com
merce and L. WEIGH Pogue, chair
man of the Civil Aeronautics Board
The actual work on the survey was
carried on over period of two
years by a subcommittee.
Provide Quick Expansion.
The program contemplates de-
mobilizing the industry in such a
way as to insure its rapid expansion
to meet an emergency. 1t calls for
a minimum production of 5000 mill
tary planes a year, with an annual
replacement of about Is per cent o1
the total aircraft inventory. 1t pro.
poses that the War or Navy Depart.
ment take title to 10 airframe plants
and 6 engine plants scattered
throughout the country so they
would be available when needed al
though they could be leased BY
private interests in the meantime
One of the plants considered was the
CurtiSs- Wright Corp. plant at Lam
bert (St. Louis) Field. AS an argu-
ment for dispersal of these installa-
tions, it was pointed out that six
atomic bombs of the size dropped on
Hiroshima could eliminate all the
important aircraft factories in the
Los Angeles area.

ture aggressor will fail to profit by

A well-integrated aircraft industry
would prevent this possibility, the
report adds, and our preparedness

than one respect. Some of our
high-ranking policy-framers feel
that, regardless of who becomes the
head of the Chinese government
China must not become a puppet
state. Should this happen, a huge
area with population of close to
SOC, 900 900 would constitute a real
threat to our national security.
Chang Aided Allied Cause.
If it were a question of not inter-
fering in a fratricidal war between
the Chinese, this Government, it is
believed, would have no hesitation
in adopting hands-off policy. But
we have recognized the Chang re-
gime, which, by remaining on our
side during the dark hours from 1941
to 1914, kept about 100000 Japa-
nese engaged and drained much OF
their military resources. That gov
eminent which stood Loyalty by the
Allies is now threatened by faction
which in turn is suspected Of being
assisted by the U. S. S. r.
If we were to withdraw all our
support from Chiang-there is no
question of helping him with our
soldiers but only with war material
-he would be left at the mercy of
the Yenan group which is as much
Of q puppet OF Moscow as the gov
ernments in Poland, Yugoslayia and
Romania.
Our policy in China has been to
give all the support we are able
short of actual military action-to

Russian treaty Of friendship, where
by the Russian government un-
dertook to recognize Chang as
the head of the Chinese government
and pledged itself to return Man
churia and Inner Mongolia to the
authority Of the central government.
Russia agreed to reserve only its
economic rights to the Chinese East
ern Railways.
The treaty was hailed in Washing
ton as masterpiece of American
diplomacy and as an additional
proof that Russia had no imperial
istic aims in the Far East. It did
more to remove some of the bad
taste OF Russia's unilateral actions
in Europe thau Russia's military in
tervention against the Japs.
The Yenan representatives took
the hint. At the urgent request of
Ammassador Hurley, they proceeded
TO Chungking, where they began to
discuss the reorganization of the
central government with Chang in
spirit OF cooperation. According
to the time-honored Oriental Gus
tom, the negotiations proceeded
slowly. Nevertheless, everybody was
satisfied that they would result in at
least temporary understanding be-
tween Mao and Chang and that civil
war would be either avoided or de-
the United States, that the Red Army
War Breaks Out Anew.
1t was understood, however. by al,
concerned, including Russia and the
United States, that the Red Army
would withdraw from ManchuriS,
within three months after VI dav
and that the central government
troops, those of the only officialIy-
recognized Chinese government
would take over the province from
the Russian troops.
Then the unexpected happened
The London Conference of Foreign
Ministers broke up. The Soviet
representative, Foreign Commissar
Molotov, left London highly indig-
nant because his colleagues refused
to accept his propositions regarding
the Italian spoils Of war. the Balkan
question and number of Russia,s
other must" demands.
The breaking up Of the conference
had an instantaneous effect on the
Far East. The conversations be-
tween Mao and Chang, which had
reached a 10 per cent degree Of
agreement, were broken OF, A
limited" agreement was announced
but all those in Chungking knew
that 1t meant nothing.
Within six days after the end of
the London sessions the sporadic
frictions between the Communists
and the central government forces
became more frequent. Finally, a
real civil war started.
The Communist troops 'infil-
trated" into Manchuria through
Inner Mongolia. To these were add
ede Mongolian troops. War material
appeared as If my magic. Chang.
in accordance with the treaty with
Russia and in accordance with the
terms Of the Japanese surrender,
proceeded to transfer his troops to
Manchuria and other sections Of
China which had been occupied by
the enemy.

Chungking. Without our support,
Chang and his supporters would be
out in a short time. The central
government forces could cope with
the Communists alone. But they
are faced with disaster If the Yenan
route armies receive assistance from
the Russians in Manchuria and
Siberia.
And once the Yenan group obtains
the upper hand and becomes the
central government of China it will
necessarily follow Moscow dictated
policy like the present puppet gov
ernments in Europe.

F or Radio Listeners
By Brvson Rash

A seventh Washington-area radio
station will start broadcasting a
regular schedule of programs on or
about December /. Actually Station
WPIK, the Potomac Broadcasting
Corp, will be located in Alexandria,
but will serve the District as well
as the Virginia city. The new sta
ton will broadcast on 730 kilocycles,
with $50 watts power, sunrise to
sunset. Studios will be located in
the George Mason Hotel.
Officers of the new broadcasting
corporation are Howard B. Hayes,
president, and Carl Lindberg, vice
president, both former engineers of
Station WTOP. The new program
director is Bill Jefferay, now on the
announcing staff of WTOP. Perry
P. Walders, formerly with WINK
and WWDC, is the commercial
manager.
Program policy has not yet been
definitely determined, but Mr.. JEFF
feray proposes to feature a lot of
music, styled from boegie-woogie to
Bach. News will be broadcast, but
not featured. Summed up, WPIK
will try to present good entertain
ment." Bill says that the station
will have additions soon to round
out the staff.
The WPIK frequency, 730 kilo-
cycles, has an interesting story.
This station is the first in the
United States to occupy that chan
mel. Under the terms of the inter-
national radio agreement it was al
lotted to the Mexican government
and has not been available for allo-
cation in the United States. That is
one of the reasons why WPIK must
slgn-off at sunset, to prevent inter-
ference with the Mexican station.
There is possibility, too, that this
channel may be released by the
Mexican government in which case
WPIK could expect to broadcast
without limitations on time and
with increased power.
