Does d member of Congress need

KIDS K0RNER

Have you ever really gotten
acquainted with the birds in
your neighborthood?
Did you know that no two birds
sing exactly alike; though you
can learn to recognize what fam
lily bird belongs to, by his song.
No two robins, for example,
sing exactly alike, but each fol-
lows certain rhmthmic form be-
longing to all robins; that form
is shown in fixed groups of three
notes, rarely, two,
The melodic Scarlet Tanager,
though his song res<hbles that
OF the Robins rarely sings in
three-group notes mostly, they
are tWo-group and slowly deliv-
cred. The quality of tone of the
Scarlet Tanager is not like the
Robins; it is buzzy Or reedlike !;
to initiate it one must hum and
whistle at the same time.
The Rose-breasted Grosbeak' s
song closely resembles the Scar
let Hangers and it might be
mistaken for the Robins. but the
differences are very distinct. 1t
has a buzzing quality and it is
uninterrupted, continuous, with
a slightly rising pitch at it's
close. One does not find the notes
easily separable into groups.
The. Chickadee confines him
self to two, even, sweetly whist
led notes, often the second is
split in two, resulting in One
quarter and two eighth notes.
There is scarcely 1E variation in
the Chickadee's sound; his buzz
ing, chattering Chick dee dee
dee dee merely tells you he is
present. His song is scarcely
music. The Chickadee is surpris-
ingly unafraid and friendly.
The meadowAoving Bobolink
: begins his rollicIing Song with
four or five sober. steady tones.
then hurries on with reckless
speed until he goes to pieces in
a tumble of tinkling, CLASSY
notes which makes him sound
like a music box gone wild.
Listen in the sWamps and
woods and see if you can learn
to recognize the song of the
Robin, the Scarlet Tanager, the
RoseIbreasted Grosbeak, tht
Chickadee and the Bobolink.

WASHINGTON, (P)-The FBI once investigated Maj, Geu. Harry H. Vaughan after he had been ac- cused of accepting a bribe to fix an income tax case.
 An aide declared he was exOn- erated.
 Vaughan, President Truman's military aide, told about the in- vestigation today to the Senate committee looking into five per center" activities in Washington.
 Senator Mccarthy R.-WisD, ], one of the members of the com mittee, had asked Vaughan Whe- ther the FBI had not taken an in terest in his activities. Specifically, Mccarthy asked whether the FBI had not looked into a charge that Vaughan applied pressure and in- fluence" on the agriculture depart ment on behalf of liquor com panleS.
 Vaughan said he never had heard of that charge. Then he went on to tell of the tax investigation, although he couldn't recall exact ly when it was. He said he under stood the FBI looked into his af- fairs at the request of a member of the press"

SOviets Hold Two U. $. Students

WASHINGTON, (P)-Secretary of state Acheson today denounced Russia'S holding of two American students in Eastern Germany as outrageous, illegal and improper.
 AcheSon told a new conference the Americans wandered into the Russian zone illegally but said they were doing no harm and should be released promptly.
 The students he referred to are Peter Sellers, Is, of Radnor, Pa, and Warren Oelsner, 2l, of Oyster Bay, N. Y. They have been miss ing since July 29.
 The secretary acknowledged that the youths did not have ere dentials permitting them to enter the Russian zone. But, he said, no one accuses them of being spies.
 Acheson reminded that the United States does not engage in the practice of holding people who have committed no crimes.
 Because of that principle, he said, the United States refused to use as a hostage for trading pur- poses a Russian flier who deserted the Soviet Air Force and then wanted to return to his homeland.
 The flier, Anatole Barzov. was taken to Austria and turned over today to the Red army. American authorities in Vienna indicated they would have liked to trade him to the Russians for some half dozen Americans being held by Soviet authorities.

 The transfer was made on the bridge linking Linz in the U. s. zone with Urfahr in the Russian zone. The transfer took place only a few miles from the American airbase where Barsov and two other Russian airmen crash-land- ed in a twin-engined bomber last Oct. 9.
 Before formally turning Barsov over to the Russians, the Ameri- cans gave him a final chance to change his mind The Russian flier stuck to the decision he had made
