This and That
BY Charles =. Trace,Deu
t> "BERWYN, Nd.


Being daily reader of your intensely
interesting column, have a question
10 ask regarding bird stranger to
me. The description am able to give
you is, however, very vague, but 1t may
at least give YOU something to help
identify this bird.
"A large bird. slender and graceful
for its size-about 13 inches, could be
longer-having the dull coloring of the
sparrow on its top feathers and q sand
or dull gray shading on its breast. The
lower underfeathers looked as though
they could be fluffy or downy. It's bill
was, I think. straight and had sharp
point-something like the grackle.
"It sat quietly on fence post, looking
up at our bird feeder which is on top of
7-foot pole. 1t was not a nervous or
fiuttering bird, but very deliberate in
its movements. After looking about him
he took off in sure, slow moving flight.
Il saw this bird for the first time two
weeks ago and then again today. In
five years Of bird feeding I have never
seen this kind of bird.
"Any clues which you may be kind
enough to give me will be greatly appre-
ciated. Very truly yours, F. G."
This bird may be the Eastern meadow
lark, but II 1t isn't that we leave the
Identification to our astute readers.
The Eastern meadow lark Is not so
large as our correspondents bird, but Is
101z inches long, as compared with the
Western meadow lark at 91s inches.
These birds, however, have black and
yellow on the underparts. The Western
form is incomparably the best singer.
Meadow 1arks like to walk around in
the grass near the Washington Monu-
ment.
Our Eastern meadow lark has much
yellow on the breast, but this might not
have been noticed.
A characteristic habit is perching on a
fence or pole.
second, then flies on wings stifhy held,
then will quiver the wings again, etc.

This column wishes to express sincere
thanks for the Christmas and New Year
greetings received from many kind
persons.
Typical was one from F. NJ which
read:
"Just an appreciation of your wonder
fully interesting and helpful column
which have enjoyed 10! these many
years.
TT is good to read such good things
while others are writing and sending
over the airways such bad things.
May God bless you in all you do"
The card made use of verses written
by Margaret Murray:
God bless the little things this Christ
mastide,
All the little wild things that live out
side;
Little cold robins and rabbits in the
snow,
Give them good faring and warm
place to go;
AL the little young things for His sake
Who died,
Who was little Thing at Christmas
tide"
Fortunately these small creatures
that live outside are protected by good
coats of fur and feathers.
Secondly, they have higher tempera-
lures than humans, and thus are better
able to meet the buffets of the weather
Thirdly, they have not been used to
high temperatures, nor had their fore-
bears.
In other words, God has equipped
them to meet what they must face.
Let no kind hearted person, then,
worry about them in the cold but simply
see to it that they find food around his
own place.
If we all do that, this will be one Of
the happiest seasons for the wildlife Of
Washington and vicinity.

Salinardi 'Outpoints' Police in Court Today
Arraigned on Two Charges, Accused Succeeds in Disproving Claims, Wins Discharge on Both Complaints

Frank "Tingles' Salinardi, 43, of 852 East Main Street was one up on the Police Department today following his appearance before Judge Charles R. Summa in City Court on charges of reckless driv- ing and resistance.
 Both charges were dismissed
 Salinardi. who is no stranger to local police, was arrested Saturday night by Motor Patrolman Donald Monagahn following an accident near St Francis Xavier Church on Baldwin Street in which a truck driven by Salinardi eollided with a car driven by Maurice O'Connell, 21. of 64 Fairmount Street.
 On direct examination, Officer Monaghan told the story that he arrested the accused at the scene of the accident, He told the court that Salinardi, while being booked, suddenly began to abuse him. The officer said Salinardi then kicked him in the shins and was led off to a cell block. He was later re- leased under a bond of S40O
 Officer Questioned
 On cross examination by Attorney John Tobin, Officer Monaghan said he arrested Salinardi at headquar- ters on the reckless driving charge after he checked the brakes of the truck He admitted, however, that the brakes were not defective. Tes- timony brought forth the story from the officer that he hung around the desk after preferring the reck- less driving charge, The officer also admitted that there was some feel ing between the two because Sal inardi tried to tell me how to con- duct the Investigation.
 The accused stepped to the stand and calmly told a story that when he was booked on the reckless driv- ing charge he offered to post a bond, but Officer Monaghan shouted lock him up,"

 To Be Near Next Bomb

Aboard U.S.S. Mt. Mckinley, Of Bikini, July 15-(UP)-The vener- able carrier Saratoga, spared in the July l air-drop test Of the atomic bomb, will be one of the principal targets in the shallow underwater blast on Baker Day, set for July 25, Vice Admiral w. H. P. Blandy confirmed today.
 Riding near the Sara, and close to the barge from which the bomb will be suspended, will be the old battleship Arkansas, the Japanese battleWagon Nagato and several smaller Warships. The submarine Pilotfish also will be "on the spot" one of two of that type craft to be surfaced during the test. Six others will be submerged. With the second atomic test only 10 days of, most of the surviving target vessels today were in their appointed spots near the blast point. The array has not yet been made public, but Admiral Blandy commander of Operation Cross roads, said a diagram would be re- leased as soon as the joint chiefs of staff approve plan for rear ranging the ships.
 Bomb Depth Secret
 Also undisclosed, and scheduled to remain secret, are the depth and location of the bomb at the time of explosion, Blandy said in a con- munique. No target vessel can be squarely over the blast point.
 Other major target ships already revealed are the cruiser Pensacola, the destroyer Migrant, the trans port FalloW and an LIST.
 All laboratory ships and scientific personnel required for the task, have arrived in Bikini lagoon to rig and assemble the bomb. Wheth- CT the bombs components are here or en route may not be stated for security reasons. But everything else is, and directors of Operation Crossroads are confident the bomb Will be in place and ready to go oil at the crucial moment.
 Unlike the Able Day bomb, which exploded upwards of 500 yards from the aiming point, the Baker Day bomb can't miss.
 Suspended by cable from spe- cial barge, it will be detonated by radio from a ship many miles away.
 The key vessel in this operation will be the U.S.S. Cumberland Sound-knoWn on the two-way voice radio as Abraham" At to- days critique of yesterdays air phase rehearsal it was agreed one of the major tasks will be keeping "Abraham's" ear glued to his re- ceiver while his lips are at the mi crophone
 AS it will on Baker Day, yester- day the Cumberland Sound issued periodic radio voice announcements of the time remaining before the mock detonation But abraham" was not listening, and Admiral Blandy's flagship found 1t impossi- ole to send messages to the Cum berland Sound
 If such situation should develop on Baker Day, the task force com- mander would be unable to post pone the blast, eve nif he learned at the last moSenf that there were still some st4sagslers aboard the target ships.

.U.A.W.C Out 800,0O0 On Initiation
 Workers to Map
 Appeals to Truman
 For Strong 0PA

Chicago, July 15-(UP)-The 800,- 900 members of the United Auto mobile Workers (CI.OD, were ready today to leave their jobs at P. M. tomorrow in nationwide demon- stration that will herald a buyers strike such as this country has never known"
 JAW. President Walter Reuther, speaking before 1,500 JAW. mem bers in the Cicero Stadium yester- day, said employers had been noti- fled that union members would quit work for one or two hours to attend meetings protesting the removal of price controls.
 He said union members, including 300,00 in Detroit and 3OO0O in Chi cago, would map plans for appeals to President Truman and Congress for renewal of strong Office of Price Administration.
 Threaten Wage Demands
 Reuther said the meetings would set up machinery for an "all-out war on inflation," with the objective the organization in every American city of central consumers commit- tee, with labor, religious, civic and church leadership.
 We haven't realized our power as consumers, even though there have been successful, isolated buyers strikes in the past" he said.
 Reuther reiterated earlier warn lngs that the union would arbitrar- fly reopen wage clauses in existing contracts, if necessary, to meet ris- ing living costs.
 He emphasized that buyers strikes would come as the first step toward stahilizing inflationary prices and that new wage demands would be made only as last resort.
 To Fight On Other Front
 But Ii our fight against increased prices fails, we will begin a fight on the wage front" he warned.
 Reuther said union members would single out certain inflationary prlc d commodities and strike against them"
 "Boyeotting of certain foods will be more difficult than boyeotting clothing he admitted, but it will De done successfully"
 The militant union head accused Congress of "betraying" the people on every piece of social legislation" and said that the unions drive would be directed against the greedy middleman.'
 Apparently most of us don't realize that by paying exorbitant prices We are putting billions into the pockets of spectators who will e n high-powered lobbyists to Washington, he said.
 There would be a revolution to- morrow if the people could realize the monstrousness of the robbery to be perpetrated."
 Reuther was cheered wildly during his 50-ninute address which he con cluded with prediction that unless inflation is beaten, collapse and de- pression will result, followed. in turn. by another war.

n Drown . In Region

Boston, July Is - (UP) Arthur Leeman, 23, of Baileys Island, Me, drowned in choppy waters of Orr's Island, Me, early today-bringing to eleven the number of New Eng flanders who drowned since the start of sultry weekend.
 Leeman fell from his fishing ves- sel while he and companion James Harris, were tying the craft to mooring
 Maine and Massachusetts each had four deaths by drowning. Con- necticut had two drownings during the weekend, Vermont one, and Rhode Island and New Hampshire none.
 One of the most tragic accidents occurred at Sebago Lake where Efstathics Georgas, 19, a Greek naval veteran who reached Amer ica last January by slowing away on ship, drowned while vainly trying to save a companion, Ed ward Poulios, 23, who also perished. Both from Portland, they had come for days outing and Poulios was seized with a cramp while swim ming
