I do not see how 1t is possible for
the United Nations to maintain any
international faith in our words and
promises. when we continually shift
our positions.
Mr.. Byrnes has been "adamant' on
the subject OF Trieste. and, in general,
has been right and in harmony with
past American policy. Woodrow Wilson
was opposed to giving Trieste and
Venezia Giulia to Yugoslavia after the
last war, even though the ethnogra phic
factors have not changed since then,
and even though we then had Yugo-
slav government friendly to the Western
allies. as Marshal Tito, Stains puppet.
certainly is not.
In a reasonably organized Europe in
which competent and honest men with
some respect for peoples and for history
were making decisions. Trieste and
Venezia Giulia would be recognized as
an Italian province and city with a
large Slavic minority, extending into
majority in some sections. whose equal
ity of right and citizenship would be
protected.
The port, however. would be made a
free port for those Danubian countries
which it has always historically served
Austria, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, and,
to lesser extent, Croatia. In that sense
it should be 'internationalized' 1t is
far more essential to land-locked Aus
tria. Hungary and Czechosloyakia than
to either Italy or Yugoslavia, since both
countries have all the ports they need.
The fight over Trieste has not been,
in essence. ethnographical or economic
1t has been purely and simply political
a political bone of contention between
the three great powers, none of which
has the slightest ethnographical or eco
nomic interest in the place. And now
Trieste is to be "internationalized"
among these three powers, whose chief
characteristic is their incapacity for
getting on with each other
Russia, of course. has won the fight,
with Tito getting three quarters of his
demands. The real significance of the
so-called settlement which. like every
major settlement since Munich, is maoe
without the slightest consideration for
the folks it most closely involves-is
that Russia has now completed the first
partition of Europe. A Soviet controlled
zone runs from the Baltic to the North

Letters to The Star
Criticizes Delano Genealosy
For Alleged Inaccuracies


To the Editor Of The Star:
The Star for Sunday, June %, pub
lished story about new history Of
the Delano family under the authorship
of Daniel W. Delano jr.. third cousin
Of the late President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt. In the interest of historical
accuracy. 1t is well to examine the fol-
lowing statements by Mr.. Delano:
/. The Delano family originated in
the Actii, Roman patricians of 600 BIC.
2. Prime Minister Winston Churchill's
mother, Jennie Jerome LADY Randolph
ChurchilD, was Delano on the ma
ternal side
3. Martha Washington, wife Of the
first President, and Mrs jefferson Davis,
wife of the Confederate President, were
members of the Delano family.
No serious genealogist would consider
as authentic the claim that the Delano
family (which was French Huguenot
and was called de la Noye) originated
in a Roman family 2,546 years ago.
Documentary evidence covering this
long period of time does not exist. The
writer has not investigated this family,
but he doubts that it can be traced
further than the 18th century AID.
The American ancestry of Mr..
Churchill was published by Conklin
Mann in 1912 in the New York Genoa
logical and Biographical Record. His
series of articles was widely publicized
at the time and the remote relationship
between the Prime Minister and Presi-
dent Roosevelt was known to both of
these men. Hence, Mr.. Delano errs in
stating that the latter probably did not
know Of the connection Moreover, a
study of the results of Mr.. Mann's re-
searches shows that Lady Randolph
Churchill was not Delano on the ma
ternal line. The relationship between
Churchill and Roosevelt was derived
through common descents from Henry
Glover OF New Haven, Conn, John
Cooke "a Mayfiower passenger, and
Henry Howland, an Englishman whose
sons settled in New England in the
18th century.
The third statement, that Martha
Washington and Mrs jefferson Davis
were members Of the Delano family. also
is erroneous. A chart entitled The
Royal Family Is reprinted in Bellamy
Partridge's The Roosevelt Family in
America 1885, and purports to show
President Roosevelt's relationship to IL
other Presidents dncluding George
Washington and to President Davis
OF the Confederacy. The only President
to whom Mr.. Roosevelt was related
through the Delanos was Gen. U. S,
Grant. The other ties of kinship are
IN several cases so shadowy as to be
practically nonexistent.
Mr.. Delano would have rendered a
genuine service to the allied sciences
OF history and genealogy II in his book
he critically had analyzed the sources
at his disposal for reconstructing the
pedigree OF his family. The allegation
OF Roman origin was published in a.
previous book on the family in 1899.
yet he demonstrates his complete. dis
regard for historical fact, common sense
and cold logic by rehashing this worth
less tale instead of debunking it.

Approves Hoover Dam

To the Editor of The Star:
Referring to the letter appearing in
Hamele, the point is that the name
given this magnificent project was
Hoover Dam" and the change seemed
to me at the time it was ordered to be
intended purposely to humiliate further
our great President, Herbert Hoover.
I have often wondered if AL Smith
had been elected President, and been
the victim of the then-existing condi-
tions, would the smear" crowd have
treated him as they did Mr.. Hoover.
The name Hoover Dam should be re-
stored at the earliest possible moment

New Deal Moves to Tapan
By Raym ond MoIev

CorWin D. Edwards is an economies
professor who went to Washington in
1888 and held long list OF jobs under
the New Deal. His most lengthy serv-
ice seems to have been as an economic
adviser to the antitrust people in the
Department of Justice. Since he served
under the regime there of Thurman D.
Arnold, it may be assumed that he
shared the eccentric economic views of
that famous trust buster. Any further
doubt on that score should end with
a reading of recent report on Japa-
nese industry, recently done under the
professors Craftsmanship.
The report is that of Mission on
Japanese Combines. 1t boldly sails into
the curious economic setup of Japan,
which links some modern techniques of
production with curious medieval fam
lily control.
The Ave big japanese groups, the
zaibatsu, of which the Mitsui and Mitsu-
bishi families are most important, were
built up in a country in which trade
and industry were underdeveloped in
order to do large business with the
outside world. Japan needed such trade
to raise living standards for a crowded
population. Since Japan was at great
distance from important markets, each
shipment from foreign countries had to
contain as many commodities as pos
sible. Hence, specialization was not
possible, and big companies which dealt
in many products and which could dis
tribute risks were inevitable.
As in olden times in Europe, before
capitalism was developed, few fami-
lies were the best centers for building
big and diversified companies. These
zaibatsu units should not be compared
with the modern Standard Oil, Alcoa
and du Pont companies, but with sucn
medieval organizations as the Medici
or the houses of Fugger and Welser in
Luther's Germany.
The Edwards report approaches the
zaibatsu with all the assumptions which

This and That
By Charles T. TrdcetDeH.
"BERWYN HEIGHTS, Nd.

Dear Sir.
Probably lot of folks will write to
you to suggest that the bird on the roof
was nighthawk.
Il see them frequently here. In Maine
they were very common. The nest, the
white on the wings and the action and
size all check
Flat roofs Of brick buildings were a
favorite nesting place in Maine
I'VE have q thrush with white outer
tail feathers like junco. Early this
spring we had crippled fox sparrow at
our feeders. One leg stuck out straight
behind. We tried to see that 1t always
had food and water at hand, but it gave
up the struggle. We first noticed it in
the late winter and I think 1t spent the
winter in this section.
Il always enjoy This and That. 1t is
one feature which always read.
Very truly yours, E. P. H."
"THIRTY-TFTH STREET.
Dear Sir:
Il notice in your column the problem
OF the bird on the Stag roof. From the
description I should Judge these birds to
be nighthawks, which do show conspicu-
ous white patches on the wings and
which do nest on roofs, usually fiat. The
dive downward. accompanied by 4 roar
ing sound is also characteristic. These
birds, as you doubtless know, are not un-
common in Washington at this time of
year
Il certainly enjoy your column. Keep
up the good work.
Sincerely yours, E. G. D."

suckers and bull bats, build their nests

so my guess is that the birds were
nighthawks
Yours very truly, S. E. B."
After reading these, and notes from
r. C. S. of College Park, Md; j. H. H. of
Arlington. Va, and others, we, too, come
to the conclusion that the birds must
have been nighthawks!
They call it nighthawks, but it isn't a
hawk; it is called bull bat, but it ism t
a bat, and many think of 1t as goat
sucker, but it never attacks goats.
queer bird, this. Nighthawks have
large mouths, and this gave rise to the
idea OF sucking a goat, since the birds
like fiat stones, also loved by goats.
The name of bull bat, popular in tne
Southland SO in the National Capitol
probably comes from the erratic bat
like flight of the bird, as it swings along
here and there after insects.
The name Of goat sucker may have
arisen when people saw the birds fly
ing down around goats in the evening
to gather in the insects around the
sometimes smelly animals.
These observers saw bird and goat,
but did not see the insects, and so
thought the birds were after milk.
1t is easy to 60 wrong on this one.
(Ahem). All through the centuries peo-
pie have been mixed up over the pisk,
the piramidig, the mosquito hawk, as
it Is called in some sections.
At one time 1t was believed that the
white spots in the wings were holes, and
that these were responsible for the
booming sound made by the nighthawk
as 1t flies down in straight line. The
wings themselves make the boom.
Many persons still confuse the night
hawk with the whippoorwill, but the
latter does not have the white spots on
the wings. The nighthawk is slightly
larger.

There is wide spread speculation that the British cabinet, in view of Bevin's strong demand for a complete exonera- ton of Russia's charges that Brit ish troops in Greece and endan- gering peace.

 In order to expedite the fixed price sale in Nome and to make available to miners as many items other than equipment-in the Seward Peninsula area, it was necessary for me to return to An chorage on the first plane.
 We contemplate opening a sales office in Nome February 8, at which time sales lists covering the fixed price sale in Nome, sched- uled for February IS, will be available to the public.
 On my trip over. the Seward - Peninsula to North Spit, Point Spencer and Davidson's Landing, found the mining equipment to be in good useable condition. Fly ing conditions and accommoda- tions are excellent It is possible for people to inspect the machin- cry at the above listed stations on one day trip.
 We would like to advise every one interested in going into that area that it is necessary to first contact the commanding officer of the Nome garrison for permission.
 In addition to the sealed bid sale of mining equipment located at Point Spencer, North Spit, Da- wilson's Landing, and Lava Lake, many other items of interest to the miners, such as lumber, ma chinery parts, Pacific huts and miscellaneous items of hardware, plumbing and electrical equip ment and supplies, jeeps, flat bed trucks and equipment to construct Wanigans and sleds will be avail able for inspection or purchase any time after February II.

Salmon Trap Sites To Be Redistributed

WASHINGTON, Feb. G. P - Major companies may lose some of their salmon trap sites in South eastern Alaska, Secretary Ickes disclosed in calling for a hearing February 2l, to consider redistri- button of trap sites. Under one amendment proposed for discus sion" Ickes said Alaska commer- cial fishing regulations for 1946 would provide a maximum of 20 traps may be operated by any in- dive dual or corporation.
 Last year eight companies con- trolled 221 of the 397 available sites. Ickes said "the purpose of the proposed amendment is to make it possible, by decreasing this concentration of sites in the hands of few major companies to allow individuals, particularly residents of Alaska, to have oppor- tunity to operate traps during the coming fishing season."
