In Defense of JeIIyfish

Since the jellyfish cannot speak
for itself, it has always been taken
for granted that no one would con-
test the perennial charge by Chesa-
peake Bay vacationists that the sea
nettle Is not only the lowest form of
animal life In local waters but the
orneriest and most useless, bar none.
The miraculous has happened. how
ever. Rising to the defense of the
Shiny, gelatinous joy-killers which
are now starting their annual inva-
sion of the bay and its inlets is the
otherwise respected Tidewater Fish
cries News. The News always has
been stanch defender of fish, crabs,
oysters and other marine life COM
monty regarded as boon to man
kind, but its action in coming to the
rescue of the pestiferous singer was
wholly unexpected.
Every one who has gone swimming
In the bay or the lower Potomac In
August knows the bad features of
the nettle-how he takes particular
delight in slapping his fiabby, repul-
sive form into the face or onto the
body of swimmer and wrapping his
long tentacles around his victim
while inf1icting his sting. It re-
manned for the Tidewater Fisheries
News to look beyond these discredit-
able things and find at least one
redeeming quality, namely, the fact
that iellyfish thrive on water Bills
ters," major enemy OF the delect-
able Chesapeake Bay oyster. Hence,
says the News, the nettle is friend
and defender of the oyster and as
such Is entitled to some respect
from all oyster lovers, whether they
are allergic to jellyfish or not.
OF course, II one does not like
either oysters or jellyfish, the News
Is wasting its editorial breath. And
any one who has experienced a
frontal assault by school OF jelly
fish Is not likely to change his
opinion of the creatures, however
friendly they may be with the oyster
family.

lectures have been set down. one comes
inevitably to the greatest uncertainty of
all-RusSia. We know something of
Russian military strength at present,
but not Russian plans for its develop
ment. We can be virtually certain that
Russia Is strong in land power, very
weak In naval power and in long-range
air power and We can be just as certain
that the Russian government desires to
remedy these weaknesses. But how
quickly they can do SO and by what
methods they will seek to do so we can
not be sure. Greater uncertainty, how
ever, Is found when we ask ourselves
what the Russians intend to do now and
in the future with what strength they
have or may develop. There we are in
the realm Of pure unadulterated guess
work-and that fact Is the central diff
Guilty in almost all attempts at intelli-
gent analysis of world relationships.
We must clearly recognize the nature
of the present contest. 1t is not
contest between rival imperialisms as
is so often commended. 1t is rather an
attempt to reconcile and to establish
satisfactory working relations between
two distinct political and economic sys-
TENS. the western system, which puts
the rights of the individual human being
first, and the Soviet system, which puts
the state before the individual The
great unanswered question is whether,
as between such fundamental diversi-
ties. such reconciliation and such salts
factory relations are possible at all
The charter of the United Nations is
based on the premise that the answer
to this question is yes. But if the peo-
Piles Of the great western democracies
become convinced by successive failures
that the answer is no, then whether
their convictions are right or wrong,
they are likely to demand that their
governments take drastic action for
their security while they still possess a
commanding degree OF military superb

A BeIuted Precuution
From the Montreal La Presse.

from the montreal La Presse.
The work of research and classical
ton of (colonization lots which the
provincial Minister of Colonization Is
carrying on Is one of the first impor-
lance. Too many colonists have not had
the advantage. Lacking similarly far
sighted provision, they established them
selves properly in regions which they
considered good for agriculture, but
where, unfortunately, the soil was I'M
fitted for this sort of exploitation. After
having barely existed miserably and
without appreciate profit, exhausted
the government ALLEGATIONS, they had
to give it all up and return to their
point of departure, which they should
never have left. They would have been
spared some bitter receptions and the
noble cause of colonization better
less criticism

Strategy in China

The reason advanced by the Gen.
trail Government for rejecting the
latest Communist proposal for an
unconditional" cessation of hostil-
tiles 60 far to explain why Gen.
Marshall has been unable to bring
an end to the factional fighting
which threatens to engulf China in
full-scale civil war.
An unconditional truce means
that both sides would retain their
present positions. But a glance at
the map will show that the Commu-
nists are able to block most of the
trunk railway lines and river water
ways by which the economic life of
the regions under control of the
Central Government Is maintained.
AS Mr.. Peng, the Minister of Infor-
nation, put the matter at recent
press conference: Just clamoring
for an unconditional cessation of
hostilities means unconditional dis
ruption in Manchuria, unconditional
blocking of communications, uncon-
ditional competition in the build
ing of large armies-in short, I'M
conditional chaos in the political sit
uation and unconditional prolonga-
ton of the nations misery"
In this statement there Is deal
of truth. With their simpler eco
nomic needs and guerrilla fighting
tactics, the Communists can get
along much better than the Ma
tionalists without main lines of COM
munication; and it takes only one
Communist road-block to render
useless such line, whether by rail
or water.
1t was to remove these handicaps
that Chang Kai-shek entefed into
the negotiations OF last spring. But
the granting of that demand would
lose for the Communists the chief
nuisance value they have been using
to extort from Chang status of
virtual equality with him which the
Central Government has never been
= willing to admit.
Meanwhile, the Nationalist high
command apparently feels strong
enough to wage at least partial sue
cessful offensives against the Com
munists, especially to clean out the
Red" pockets in the coastal regions
from Shantung to the north bank
of the lower Yangtse which are eco
nomically more Gripping than the
main Communist positions in the
far north, from Yenan, through Je-
hol to Northern Manchuria.
Whether Chang hopes to do more
than this Is doubtful, at this time.
Yet the success of those limited Of
fensives would so increase his
economic and political power as well
as his military strength that he
might well make this the basis for
a subsequent all-out move to crush
his opponents decisively throughout
China. Knowing this as the Com
munists do, they can be expected to
fight back vigorously. So the upshot
may be that full-scale civil war
which neither side envisages as such
at the present time.

Wants Eastern Bridge Also

W. ants Eastern Dr1Q2e ALSO
To the Editor Of The Star:
Everybody concurs in the need for
double bridge leach 4-lane) in place
OF the present single span at Fourteenth
street. The present bridge over the
Potomac at this point is inadequate
for the volume of traffic involved. I
am sure that all commuters are glad
that Congress has approved the cree
ton Of two new bridges.
But am curious to know if any one
has. considered the ACCESSIBILITY of
bridge somewhere between Alexandria
and the National Airport. This bridge
could terminate on the District Of Co.
lumbia side of the river south of Boiling
Field, say, Atlantic avenue. Not only
would this facilitate committing be-
tween Congress Heights, Anacostia and
other eastern areas to the Pentagon
Building and National Airport, but also
would reduce the traffic over the Four
tenth street bridge Cor bridges.
In addition, U. S. No. / truck traffic
could be routed across this proposed
bridge from Alexandria. Such q route
could follow Nichols avenue, Eleventh
street to Lincoln Square, Tennessee
avenue into Bladensburg road and Bal
timore. I should think this route woulo
give truck traffic better bypass than
the current U. S. No. through town.
Yes, personally would profit by such
a bridge. since live in Washington
Highlands and commute daily to the
Pentagon. However. I feel sure there
are great many others in this area
who would profit equally as much.

 Gets Budget
Eselmute Shows Airline Hlah

Hartford, Nov. is--CUpD--A ten- tatfye State budget for the next two years was submitted to OoV. Elect JanSes |. Mcconauehy today as of. ficials expressed fears it would reach an all-time high, despite many economics effected.
 The expected increase was blam- ed on general boosts in operating and maintenance, plus planned highway and building construction
 Offlcials were perplexed as to how to meet this situation, since the states general tax revenue has been decreasing from its wartime high.
 Two big financial worries especial- ly was plaguing them. One is salary increases for State employees which already have been voted. The other Is the prospect that a war veterans bonus may be adopted by the Gen. eral Assembly.
 Mcconaughy, state Finance Con- missioner James B. Lowell and Bud- get Director Robert H. Weir will hold private hearings next week at which department heads will ex. plain their requests for funds.
 One such official, Chairman wil- lard B. Rogers of the State Develop ment Commission, has announced that his agencys request for funds will be s74.24750 lower than the s4S0.4 .450 it received during the past two years. The commission plans to effect the reduction by eliminat- ing four positions.

 Mfrs Pickering operates "cOffls mon Sense Service 1iic.," a Madison Avenue concern which, among other things, advises its clients On the proper pups to buy.
 "if they look like dachshundfe, I always recommend that they get . dachshund" Mfrs. Pickering ex4 pIalneQ, laughing happily, And % far it's worked out very wei.
 When someone comes into my pfiice and says he wants to buy . dog i settle back if1 my chair and ask myself. Nov what type of dog does he iOok iike7' And that's the kind they always buy"
 If the buyer is tall and thin, Mrs. Pickering suggests c siinky afghan, or a sober boxer,
 Height Considered
 "of course, if Q woman customer Is short or fat, I always urge her tO get one of the smaller types" Mrs. Pickering said. First and fofes most, 1 go for the poodle"

 Most Americans must look like French poodles this year because Mrs. Pickering, claims that they're easily the top seller.

 French poodle pups are retail- ing at $500 apiece, with boxers 90. ing at around s200. The pugs and chinuahuas average neat Sl5O. And that's just for the youngsters five to six weeks old.

 The first thing Bridges wants to help caFTy out his task. is a coEn- piete list of every patronage job in the Senate, who holds it, the salary t pays and the name of the Senator sponsoring the present job holder.
 A similar list was prepared ct the request of Sen. Kenneth D. Nc. Keiiar (D.-Tenn.) when the Dem- ocratic Party took Senate control In 1888. rt turned out to be . fat book which served job-hungry Dem. ocrate well, especially during the early depression years.
 Rejects Wise Suggestion
 Bridges said the Democrats car- ried their job-grabbing to an exc tfeme, and kept practically all pa- tronage to thenaseives despite the fact that the political division of the Senate narrowed in later years.
 He said Republicans got to ap- point only three or four of the % Senate pages, fo1r of the 200 door, keepers and ono out of more than 70 policemen.
 On that basis, Bridges flatly rec jected the suggestion of a new Re. publican Senator, Ralph E. Flander of Vermont, that the Republican Party fire only ofe-half the Demo- crats on the payroll. Flanders said it would be inefficient to fire the whole gang.
