To the Editor Of The Star:
Why did they call the Nineties gay?
Those devilish hours of yore would
really seem quite tame today like blush
ing "Pinafore." But one real venture
in the crop Gts thrill We'll ne'er forget)
was found at Tonys barbershop-that
pink Police Gazette
The siren on the cover page was quite
hunk of beauty; her hour-glass figure
all the rage-an Amazonian cutie. And
tales so fabulous we heard of champagne
drunk from slippers 1--WE kids thought
that one was too absurd; for us the wells
and dippers).
Those femme fatales like Anna Held,
with pompadour and curl, would prom
tly hear their dirges knelled beside a
Varga girl. Today's vignettes reveal far
more than Little Egypt's net, but still,
sometimes, we banker for that old Police
Gazette! RAY H. EVERETT.

Letters to The Star
Differs With Mr.. Ickes in Use
Of Uncomplimentary Labels


To the Editor Of The Star:
Occasionally have happened to read
Harold Ickes' columns Each one seems
to be filled with the same stuff" My
latest experience with his verbiage was
his article on smear tactics.
Mr.. Ickes seems to think the term
Communist" is being used indiscrimi-
nately. On the contrary it is my con-
tention that Fascist" is the term that
is being used thus. Usually those who
use the word Communist" have some
thing to go on. On the other hand,
those who use the label Fascist" may
have almost any apparent reason for
its use, the basic one of course being
the fact that the nominee is an op-
ponent on some issue or other. AS
matter of fact, the present usage of the
term to designate members of the Axis
nations is somewhat inaccurate, since,
specifically, it applies to the former gov
ernmental system of Italy But using
it in its present meaning the best ap-
plication has been in calling Commu-
nism Red Fascism'
IL Is interesting 10 nOte that Mr.. IckeS
made verbal slam" at former Chair
man Dies. But if remember correctly,
it seems as though Mr.. Dies voluntarily
disappeared from public life and is max
ing no effort to maintain his position
in the public spotlight. Perhaps Mr..
Ickes had better speak a little more
softly about former political figures.
Returning to the subject of smears,
think Mr.. Ickes' column is an illustra-
tion of the pot calling the kettle black.
Everytime 1 glance his way he is max
Ing sighting remarks about some one.
1t would be much better for him to give
his words a more respectable tone, lest
he fall into the class of smearers he
so heartily despises. TERRY MORRIS.

Advocates Lower Speed Limit

Advocates Lower Speed Limit
To the Editor OF The Star.
I read with interest the articles on
the coming drive for safe driving. Good
ness knows something should be done.
But the thing that strikes me as
strange is that the day after the war
was over they Immediately lifted the IS
mile speed limit all over the country.
Why don't they keep the national speed
limit down to 35 for while until the
new cars really begin to roll out?
I dread to think what the roads will
be like this summer with all the beaches
around Washington in full use for the
first time in several years.

1ndicts Liquor Trade Again

AheiSto Li4uOI duS again
To the Editor of The Star:
This country is consuming liquor at
the rate of $1,000 100000 a year, repre-
senting huge per capita, considering
that only percentage of the total
population uses liquor. It's manufacture
means the diversion, and perversion of a
huge amount of grain mot wheat only,
but also much needed substitutes, A.
600 100000 pounds of grain, 25o,O0O, 900
pounds Of sugar, sirup and molasses.
And this while sugar still is scarce and
subject to rationing for food purposes.
Whole nations sink with hunger, mil
lions are reaching out starved hands
to us for just enough to save them from
the valley of the shadow How can
this Nation be happy, how can it keep
its self-respect guzzling liquor at this
rate-liquor made from their life blood?

Legal Exemptions for Labor


To the Editor of The Star:
The direct method to lessen our labor
troubles is to repeal statutes granting
privileges and favors to labor unions
and their members, e. g., section II of
title Is, Commerce and Trade, of United
States Code
Section II provides that neither labor
organizations, nor their members, shall
be held or construed to be illegal combi-
nations or conspiracies in restraint of
trade under section of the same title,
!. e. the antitrust law
There are other acts, E. g., the Wagner
Act, which grant privileges.
One of the basic principles of our
Republic used to be equality before the
law with privilege to none. That is,
the criminal laws applied to all equally.
Any one who broke the law was pun
ishable. EDWARD HENRY NEARY.

1t does give more meaningful pat
tern to the normal interest in wild life.
This sort of looking often comes about
when family moves to the suburbs, but
may be achieved in the city.
The city dweller is handicapped, one
may think, by the atmosphere of city
living, which puts too much stress on
going places and seeing things.
Too often the things to be seen are
some place else.
Out in the suburbs it is more difficult
to go places. Hence it is easier, and
more natural, to seek entertainment
where you are
So the suburban dweller normally
takes closer interest in birds, squirrels,
and such other small creatures as may
come to the place.
Wild rabbits, field mice, shreWs, toads,
even now and then opossums, come to
most suburban areas.
The bird species total go or more
which may be seen, over period of sew
eral years, in practically all of the sub
urban sections of our city.
About 300 species come to the Wash
ington area, but scores of these are
warblers which are seen only by acci-
dent as they wing their way through
going North.
More purposeful looking leads to more
purposeful hearing-it is possible, over a
term of years, to get to know scores of
birds songs and calls.
In time, listening to the bird chorus,
both at dawn and throughout the day,
becomes part of daily living. This is
as it should be, because these small
creatures are neighbors. They live and
have their being in the trees and on the
ground. Life to them is purposeful, too.
Maybe the birds are watching us, at the
same time we give them the once over.
Perhaps they are studying human be-
ings! Well, humans are worth study
ing. no doubt Of that.

This and That
By Charles E. TraceueN.
CONNECTICUT AVE

Dear Sir:
1T is simple act of justice to thank
you for your fine column in The Star
which have long since neglected to full
I'LL. Please accept my heartiest thanks.
II have had an amateurs interest in
all wild life since early childhood in
Connecticut, but only during the last
year have I given such interest more
meaningful pattern by more close OBJ
servation of the varied species of birds
and the ubiquitous gray squirrel.
Jonathan, one of the latter, is a con-
slant pleasure, with taste, more than
we'll developed, for peanuts A perfect
watchman he is, too, his gruntings and
groanlngS are a wonder to the ear when
Snoopy, the mongrel black cat, appears
by stealthy and devious ways to sniff
the Suet I put out for the grosbeak
family and mocker.
For cliff dweller who has a cave
about 20 feet from the ground 1 have
been blessed with many happy hours at
the expense of my ne-feathered
friends
THE Bishop (cardinaD has, of course,
been constant visitor, and one who has
a repertoire of song that defies the most
ardent imagination.
Il have dove, indigo buntings,
purple finches, song sparrows, and the
ordinary garden variety of chippy-I
marvel at the social-mindedness Of the
latter-among others unknown to me,
personally.
MY dove avidly devours bird seed OBJ
tanned from grocer, and it is a favorite
with many other species, not to speak
OF the sparrows. However, raisins, as
you suggested from time to time, are in
great demand
1T is sight, almost a cure for
chronic astigmatism, to see Pete and
his wife Mabel, the two jays, handle
peanuts in the shell while perched upon
a branch.
May wish you every success in the
splendid work you are doing?
