REPORT MADE FOR
WORK ON CHANNEL
Partial Approval Given
To Proposed Improve
ment Program

A partially favorable" report
has been made by the U. S. Dis
trict and Division Engineers on the
proposed improvement of Far
Creek, N. c., from Pamlico Sound
to Englehard by deepening the
channel and charging the turn
ing bason.
The project was approved by
the Engineers except for the re-
quest of a 100 foot width in the
section of the channel passing
through solid ground. The En-
gineers approved a width of 80
feet, and the report states that
the 100 foot request was not recon-
mended because the benefits from
the added width would not justify
the considerable increase in cost.
An estimated first cost to the
Federal government for the work
is $50, 800. The work will be done
provided local interests furnish,
free of cost to the United States,
all necessary rights of way and
suitable areas for the disposal of
dredged material during construc-
ton and for future maintenance
when needed. Al interested par
ties have the privilege of present
ing their views on the proposed
Improvements to the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Har-
bors, Room 1886, Building TT,
Gravelly Point, Washington, D. C.
The reporting Engineering Of
ficers recommended that the prof.
ect provide for a channel II feet
deep, 100 feet wide from the II
foot depth contour in Pamlico
Sound to the point where solid
ground is encountered, thence 80
feet wide to a basin II feet deep
and of varying width up 10 a max
imuna of 200 feet with its upper
end about 200 feet downstream
from the highway bridge at Engle-
hard.

Keeping Our Lead

David E. Lilienthal's insistence that the
United States must maintain and even
increase its lead in the development of
atomic energy and atomic weapons until
adequate international safeguards are set
up Is the essence of common sense. And
1t is made even more sensible by the sub
sequent statement from Andrea Gromyko
to the effect that Russia will accept only
some form of international inspection"
and will not agree to any atomic control
mechanisms such as supervision, licensing,
operation or ownership by an international
agency
To adopt the Gromyko proposal, as MIR.
Lilienthal said after his talk to the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission, would
produce an agreement without security. 1t
would be, as he put it, "a fraud" And as
long as the Russians refuse to agree to any
plan which offers real hope of security,
we have no rational alternative except to
exert every effort to maintain and improve
our present lead in the development of
atomic weapons.
Undoubtedly as some well-meaning
Americans assert with alarm, the result of
this will be an atomic ornaments race.
But II such race is inevitable, then it
behooves us to stay in front and not to lag
behind

creatures. II these policemen did not under
stand the important place which owls occupy
in our native fauna, they had only to pick up
their telephones to obtain expert information
and advice from any of dozens of Federal OH
Gals concerned with conservation, from the
Audubon Society, or from the director of the
National Geological Park.
Any of these men, besides advising the
police on dealing with this apparently terrify-
ing visitation of half dozen baby owls, could
have explained to them that owls perform an
invaluable service to man by destroying mice,
rats and harmful insects.
An acknowledged authority, DR.. A. Z. Fisher.
in Department of Agriculture report entitled,
1.-THE Hawks and Owls in Their Relation to
Agriculture" declared: "It may be stated with
confidence that owls are among the most bene-
fetal of all birds. The work of owls ma
terially assists in preventing an undue increase
Of many obnoxious rodents"
Only a few months ago, an article in Science
News Letter proclaimed owls to be honest,

is catching mice and other destructive rodents.

A Fine Showing

II the campaign of the Washington
Chapter of the American Cancer Society
to attain It's goal of $104, 900 is successful
and there is every indication that it will
be-a large share. of the credit will go to
Government employees. For the returns
to date show that well over half of the
$4,000 so far contributed has come from
persons employed in the Federal estab-
liShment
This is fine showing for group of
citizens whose morale is supposed to be
affected by pending and possible personnel
cuts In the wake of the congressional
economy wave. Even in more normal
times the governmental units in some of
the past fund drives have had difficulty
In raising their quotas. Since nearly all
Of the Goyernment-uni collections repre-
sent cash donations rather than pledges,
the possibility Of Cancelled pledges resulting
from unemployment has been virtually
obviated
Campaign officials attribute. the whole
hearted response of Federal employees to
two factors. The first is the fact that.
although this is the first drive by the newly
organized Washington chapter, the gov
ernmental unit was able to set up an
organization and start functioning with
q minimum Of lost motion. This group Is
headed by Assistant Secretary of the
TresSury Edward r. Bartlett. The other
factor Is the growing recognition OF the
need for vaging an about war on killer

Hondieopping Justice

Congress will be doing the cause of
Justice a grave diSservice if it fails to
restore to the pending appropriation bill
for the Federal courts the funds required
to provide essential secretarial and court
reporter service. House action in elimi-
mating $1S00,000 item for judges secre-
taries and stenographers and in reducing
by $65,000 an 100000 appropriation for
court reporters threatens to handicap the
courts at time when the workload Is
increasing alarmingly in most districts
A point of order led to dropping of the
secretarial item by the House. The con-
tention was made that there is no basic
authority in the law for secretaries in the
Federal court establishment This is tech
nically true. But the fact is that Congress
for nearly half a century has recognized
the need for secretarial and stenographic
aid to Judges and, in effect sanctioned
these services by appropriating for them,
year after year, No question ever was
raised over these essential employees until
1945, when the Judicial Conference of
Senior Circuit Judges prepared bill to
provide legal authority for employment of
secretaries and stenographers in the courts.
This bill passed both houses unanimously,
after minor changes, and failed of enact
ment only because the Seventy ninth Con-
gress adjourned before acting on the con-
ference report. Similar bills are pending
In this Congress. Certainly it is not the
fault of the courts that no basic authority
for secretaries has been written into the
law. And, as q matter of fact, Congress
already has given implicit recognition to
them in the Administrative Office Act,
which specifically includes secretaries and
stenographers to the judges" among per-
sonnet under jurisdiction OF the Admins
trative ONCE Of the United States Courts.
AS for court reporters, officials declare
that even reduction of SCI, 900, as pro-
posed by the House, would have serious
/ repercusSions This sum is needed to hire
additional reporters necessitated by ap-
pointment OF additional judges, to correct
inequalities In pay and TO hire temporary
reporters in emergency cases. The work Of
the courts would be badly impaired II the
bill as passed by the House is permitted
to become law. The Senate will be averting
real crisis In the Federal judiciary II 1t
