Few Broilers Get Out
Of Peninsula Alive
Most Are Slaughtered In 16 POul-

Only a few of the millions of
broilers raised OH the Delmarva
Peninsula get out of the area alive.
Most of them-the ratio is about
eight to One-end their days in one
of the peninsula's 16 poultry dress
ing plants. The procedure differs
slightly from plant to plant.
The most popular method is the
so-called New York dress" That's
a chicken with no feathers. The
feet, head and entrails are left in
tact. Packed in ice, these birds
reach metropolitan markets within
a few hours after killing.
Second in demand is the draw

along with the feathers. Some
times the entrails are removed.

Suyina q MouthfuI

It may be conceded that there are left
wtngers, and perhaps even some fullblown
Communists, among those who favor home
rule for the District. It may also be con-
ceded that questionable wisdom was dis
played by the Home Rule Committee in
Its choice Of methods to force the hand
Of Chairman Mcmillan of the House Dis
trict Committee on the suffrage issue. But
neither Of these things has any direct
bearing on the real issue.
The Communist issue, assuming that It
can be dignifed by calling 1t an issue,
came to light in the release by the Home
Rule Committee of a letter written by
Chairman Mcmillan to some one in his
home State Of South Carolina. Mr.. McMil-
Ian was answering request for state
ment Of his views on suffrage for the Dis
trict-a request inspired by a local home
rule advocate who was endowed with more
zeal than good Judgment.
In writing his letter, Mr.. Mcmillan told
reporters, he tried to give his South Caro-
lima questioner "a mouthful" He said
plenty, but what he said does not make
a great deal Of sense.
1t Is absurd, for instance, to suggest that
Communists play anything more than an
Insignificant part In the home rule move
ment. It is also absurd to suggest that the
bid for home rule involves any thought
or intent to secure control of the Federal
Government.
All that is sought is the right to voice
In the selection of the officials who will
run the municipal government of the Dis
trict The home rule movement is a bid
for a minimum Of democracy in the Ma
tional Capital, and it is . bid which ought
not to be denied. Mr.. Mcmillan has said
that he will not try to bury the Senate
passed home rule bill in committee, and
the initiative which he has taken in
arranging for the start of hearings tomor-
row is an evidence Of good faith. If he is
not personally in sympathy with any of
the proposed measures, he has every right
to oppose them, but The Star hopes and
believes that he will follow through and
do what he can to bring the question to
4 vote in the House.

Greece Without SophouIis

The sudden death Of Premier ThemiS-
tocles Sophoulis removes key personality
In the unstable equilibrium OF Greek poll
tics. This venerable figure, whose vitality
and mental acumen belied his eighty-eight
years, had been an active participant IN
Greek political life for nearly half
century, and had headed the Liberal Party
ever since the death of the elder Venizelos
In 1885, In this long career. sophoulis
acquired wealth of parliamentary expe-
rience and sagacity recognized and re-
spected even by his political opponents.
Habitually referred to as "The Grand Old
Man" Of politics. he enjoyed prestige In
public opinion which REINFORCED his polit-
ical standing.
His birthplace and the circumstances OF
his upbringing determined his political
Ideals. sophoulis sprang from Samos,
large island near the coast Of Asia Minor,
then part Of the Ottoman Empire, although
granted q large measure Of local self-gov-
ernment because of its thoroughly Greek
and Christian population. It was Sophou-
lis dream to reunite his native Samos with
the Hellenic homeland, Just as the elder
Venizelos, q native Of Crete, worked tire
lessly to overthrow Turkish rule there and
accomplish union with Greece. This ma
tionalistic ideal of Greater Greece" was
coupled, in both cases, with deep devotion
to the cause of parliamentary democracy
and individual liberty. Sophoulis was,
therefore, the authentic exponent OF liber-
alism, which was the creed Of his party.
And none could question his sincerity.
The removal of such personality
creates q gap in the political situation
which will be dificult to I'LL. For the past
two years the parliamentary set-up has
been q peculiar one. In the elections OF
l946, the Liberals were showed under by
the ultra conservative and royalist party
known as the Populists, headed by their
dynamic leader, Constantine Tsaldaris.
The previous Liberal coalition cabinet Of
sophoulis thsreupon gave place to an all
Populist Tsaldaris Government. But this
vas the moment when the Communist
. rebellion was gathering momentum, and
IN ultra-conservative regime could not
enlist the support Of liberal and moderate
opinion for the struggle against the rebels.
The venerable Sophoulis obviously was
best fitted to head q new coalition Cabinet
on broader base, even though the Liberals
were a minority therein. And Sophoulis
insisted that he be the real head of the
combination.
Now that he is gone, the headshfp Of
the Liberal Party devolves upon Sophocles
Venizelos, son of his distinguished father.
But It Is doubtful whether the younger
venizelos possesses the rare combination
OF experience, xagacity and prestige which
enabled Sophoulis to play his dificult role.
Indeed, sophocles Venizelos has recently
shown an ambitious restiveness against
the leadership Of Sophoulis that. on one
occasion, threatened to rend the Liberal
Party. Parliamentary logic requires that
the majority leader, Tsaldaris should try
TO form new Cabinet. But whether he
and the younger venizelos can team w

Woshinston's Bridge Shortage

The growing amount Of traf1c across the
rivers which separate Washington from
Anacostia land the Maryland communi-
ties beyond and from Virginia justifies
a broad new study Of the bridge needs
of the Metropolitan Area. The South
Capitol Street and Highway Bridge prof.
ects, now well advanced, will bring some
welcome relief in the near future, but
additional crossings viii have to be pro-
to be properly tied together.
District highway authorities have taken
what must be regarded as . preliminary
step toward such . general study. They
are giving immediate attention to .
project advocated several years ago by
the late Captain Whitehurst when he was
director Of highways. This is the proposal
for another bridge over the Anacostia
River, either on the line OF Massachusetts,
avenue Southeast or Of East Capitol street.
The National Capital Park and Planning
Commission already has approved the
Massachusetts, avenue route. The South
Capitol Street Bridge, nearing completion,

PENNSYLVANIA avenue and Eleventh street

the trafiic problem at the Barney Circle
terminus of the first-named bridge. 1t
will probably take another bridge between
the Pennsylvania avenue and Benning
bridges to relieve the trafnc Jams at Barney
Circle.
But the Anacostia Is not the only river
that needs additional bridges. The steady
residential development In nearby Virgini..
makes it evident that even the twin High

together successfully Is moot question.
Certainly, the numerically-dominant Pop
ulists would be disinclined to grant the
same disproportionate authority to the
venizelos-led Liberals as they accorded
Sophoulis And, without an effective coal-
ton, the alternative of an all-Populist
Government would be subject to the same
handicaps which appeared under the irst
TsaldariS Cabinet.
