All of Indiu's Loss

PaklStan as the WOrlo knows IL COQay was
the creation of Mohamed Ali Jinnah, and
his sudden death inevitably raises many
questions about what will happen to the
new nation whose George Washington he
was. Much will depend upon the influence
which his name may continue to exert
upon all India. Passing from the political
scene so soon after the assassination of his
famous rival Mahatma Gandhi, his power
to project himself beyond the span of his
own lifetime Is certain to be tested SINH
larly. Both leaders have gone too soon.
Of course, the Hindus have Gandhis
deputy, Jawaharlal Nehru. He was fa-.
miliar with the Mahatma's mind and has
been prepared for the burden which he
now bears as Prime Minister. The Qaid-a-
Azam, however, had no alter ego. He was
not merely the president of the Moslem
League. 1t is fair to say that he persona
fed it completely. In theory he might be
replaced. Actually, there is no man ready
to step into his shoes Yet something must
have been planned. Mr.. Jinnah had been
ill and in retirement for nearly year.
During that time he surely must have pro-
vided guidance of some practical sort for
the government of the country. Liaqat
Ali Khan, whom he made Premier, is an
able administrator. Whether he can in
spire the same confidence and unanimity
of opinion as Pakistan's authentic founder
remains to be seen, but there is at least a
chance that he can and will succeed.
The issues with which he must deal in
clude some that date back for centuries.
Mr.. Jinnah for while believed that the
elemental differences between Moslems
and Hiridus could be compromised to the
benefit of both peoples. Gradually, he
changed his position until he would not
even talk about the possibility of yielding
anything Gandhi was as stubborn, and
the result was a series of massacres and
the destruction of millions of dollars
worth of property which India could not
afford to lose. No repetition of those hor-
rors can be contemplated with equanimity
by those who wish to be on friendly terms
with all residents of the peninsula OF
Hindustan without regard to races, re-
ligions or other limitations.
So one can only hope for peace and
increasing cultural, economic and social
progress in the whole Of India as living

| nobler ideals really were not fundamental

Watch Out for the Children!

In 1947 ten children under Is years OLD
were killed in Washington traffic acc1-
dents: thus far in 1948 there have been
nine. with three of the worst months Tor
traffic accidents November and
December-still to come.
But one encouraging experience mas
been that when the children start to
school-and public schools open today
there is a perceptible drop in child fatali-
ties. The experience reflects the STEADY
growth of emphasis in the schools on edu-
cation in traffic safety by the American
Automobile Associations Boy Patrols, the
extraordinary fine cooperation by the
Metropolitan Police and The Stars own
Inspector Mansfield whose chalk talks
on safety have become fixture in the
elementary grades. An article In yester-
DAVIS Star described the two-weeks' traf-
fic school for Boy Patrols, attended by
nearly 400 youngsters at Camp Ernest j.
Brown this summer.
This constant propaganda on tramc
safety among the children themselves has
brought results, and that is where 1T should
be applied The heavy proportion of traf11c
accidents involving pedestrians results
from the carelessness of the walker rather
than the automobile driver. OF the nine
child fatalities this year. only one was as
sociated with any discernible failure by the
automobile driver.
Cross walks in the vicinity of the schools
are being repainted. The children must
be taught that crossing, lat the cross-walks
and with the green light are fundamental
precautions And drivers must watch Tor
the "Slow-School" signs, warnings that
assume new significance today when over
100000 youngsters begin their daily jour-
news to and from school through Wash
inrton's crowded streets.

Bird TRAGEDIES

InOuSan0S OF new 7 YOTK DlrQ lOVeFS were
witnesses to one of natures tragedies last
week when migrating thrushes and war
blers, travelling from Canada to the far
South, flew into the Empire State Build
ing and were killed.
Men who devote their lives to ornitho-
logical problems had only sketchy ex-
PLANTATION of the tragedy to offer. If there
is any way to prevent its repetition, they
do not know what it is. Similar disasters
to birds have occurred at the Statue Of
Liberty and at many lighthouses along the
coasts Of the American continent. Many
of the specimens now on display In the
Smithsonian Institution were obtained
from the guards at the Washington Monu-
ment, who found them lying at the foot OF
the obelisk in the early hours of cloudy
days
Frederick Charles Lincoln, senior biolo-
gist of the Fish and Wildlife Service, De-
partment of the Interior, and an authority
on migratio", told The Star: "A rather un-
common COZ bination of weather condi-
tions Is responsible for what happened at
the Empire State Building. When the wind
Is in a certain direction and the sky Is
heavily overcast, structures in the migra-
ton routes of birds are apt to be hit.
Ordinarily, the birds fly high enough to
pass over safely. When the clouds are
heavy and the birds are forced to proceed
at lower levels. collisions are almost in
evitable. Lighting does have something to
do with the danger. There have been more
birds killed at the Washington Monument
since the shaft was foodlighted than be-
fore. Just why this is true is one of the
mysteries we are trying to solve. But even
If the Empire State Building had been
dark hundreds of birds still would have
been killed. The birds are following def
mite paths of migration established long
before men began to build skyscrapers in
this part of the world"
As to the effect of such destruction OF
birds, Mr. Lincoln said: THE friends of
birds need not worry too much. Small
birds are increasing in numbers, largely
because of the development of the country
by farmers and ranchers. The songbirds
are not fond of dense forests. They like
the edges of woodlands and the open fields
Agricultural progress means more birds of
the smaller sizes. Man is less beneficent
with respect to water fowl. They are de-
creasing as the result of the growing popu-
larity of duck hunting"
1t seems that law of nature is involved
in all this. Living itself is hazard.

the long pull. Above all, they must reckon
with the immediate retaliatory threat OF
our Air Force in the event that their
present provocative policy-either through
blunder or design-should lead suddenly
to war. Quite obviously, therefore, our own
national security and the peace of the
world will be served by any reasonable
measures the Air Force takes now to in
crease its striking power. Few things could

Our Hidden HUNGER

TO the Editor Of The Star:
America, also Is starving. We suffer from
hidden hunger which Is deeply affecting our en-
tire national life. 1t Is the hidden hunger OF
the very soul.
Little do we do for our souls, beyond going
through the motions of feeding them. Churches
were once filled; but today few attend religious
services. And Of these, most are doing little
except going through religious motions, with
souls only half awake to what is going on.
Having heard that: THE fear of the Lord is
the beginning Of wisdom" we are yet amazed
that this once God-fearing Nation has blum
dered like a child in world affairs. 1t is dim
cult for us to realize that a nation gets the
sort of government it deserves; and that God
will see that real peace comes Just as soon as
we deserve real peace
dom necessary for national survival in such an
unparalleled time Of peril can come only to q
people who really and truly take serious things
seriously, putting first things first, giving top
priority to all things that feed and make
strong the spirit.
So difficult is it for us to see the truth about
our national soul today that some terrible
shock treatment" seems necessary, in order to
bring us to our spiritual senses Perhaps the
shock of today's fearful Communist peril will
awaken us. In any case, mans extremity is
Gods opportunity, whereas security and pros
perity put mems souls to sleep and ripen them
for destruction. BOILING SOMERVILLE.

'Whitehurstway' Suggested

To the Editor of The Star:
'Whitehurst Freeway" Is . well-deserved
tribute to H. c. Whitehurst as indicated IN

However, some thought should be used as
to whether the public will shorten the name
to "freeway" and defeat the real purpose OF
the tribute.
A name such as "Whitehurstway" in one
word. or something similar could not be
chatiged 50 easily, as nine out OF ten are
very likely to do with "Whitehurst Freeway.
