There are two schools Of thought
in the District on the startling ques-
ton. Neither sides with the birds
One school says brighten 'em
discourage 'em if necessary deci-
mate them" The other group would
be happy just to drive the little
black birds to less annoying roosts
A man willing to go along with
either side that comes up with a
workable idea is William A. Kan
ten, superintendent of District Sani-
tation. A longtime starting foe,
