How War Could Be Fun

According to hints made in a recent speech
by Major General McAuliffe, chief of the Army
Chemical Corps, there is possibility that science
may lead to new methods of warfare enabling
us to achieve victory without bloodshed or much
destruction. Apparently although the hero of
the Battle of BaStogne has not specifically said
so-the day may be nearing when we will be in
a position to destroy an enemy's will to resist
merely by squirting some nerve gases at him.
This prospect is enhancing in many ways
Indeed, assuming the best Of everything, it is
even tremendously cheering. For what it suggests
is that we may at least harbor the hope that
science conceivably will yet succeed in brewing
nerve gas that will ID smell very nice, like
good perfume behind pretty ladys ear, (2) be
completely non-lethal, 90 cure sinus trouble
and the common cold, "a make all who Whit
it feel wonderfully alive and carefree, and (5)
deprive them of both the will and the desire
to fight each other
What vista could be pleaSanter to contem-
plate? Surely, if all nations could develop and
arm themselves with such weapon, war could
be real fun-a sort of health building pastime
in which everybody would look forward to being
gassed into delightful spirit of universal ca
maraderie. Sprayed in time, back and forth
between potential foes this fragrant tranquilizer
would make A-bombs and H-bombs absolutely
obsolete Anyhow, there's no harm in dreaming,
is there?

Madness Is the Word

Secretary Achesons hard-hitting reply to the
attacks on the State Department may further
ALLEVIATE some of his Republican detractors. 1t
is statement, however, that is justified by the
facts and it ought to make a deep and lasting
impression on all who heard it or who will read it.
Mr. Acheson took the line that the Repub-
lican attack, spearheaded by Senator Mccarthy,
is form of madness, a disastrous assault. not
on alleged Communists in the State Department,
but on our national security.
This business of Unfortunately blasting
the regulations of good and loyal Government
officers he said, is an attempt to destroy the
confidence of the people in their foreign office
and in their Government in one of the most
critical hours of this Nations history"
The Star believes this to be substantially
accurate statement. Not all of the Republicans
and perhaps not any of them, are consciously
trying to weaken our country in the face OF the
common enemy They are thinking in terms OF
partisan political advantage. But it is all too
clear that in the process they have been de-
stroying public confidence in the Government
to degree that is both dangerous and alarming
It is time for some sober second thinking.

Lowyer Service Soon at Budqet Prices?
By Wallace z. CIoyton

THE DAY may be coming soon when
l. members of Washington's lower-in-
come groups will be able to drop into a
lawyers Office and receive legal advice
as casually as they would a diagnosis
from the family doctor.
Although many members Of the local
bar insist that legal advice is forrhcom-
ing as cheaply in proportion, as advice
from a general practitioner. the big
problem is to convince the unwealthy
that they will not be faced with an un-
reasonable bill If they ask lawyer for
advice.
1t is with the hope of persuading the
general public that a lawyer is often a
necessity and never luxury, that more
and more members Of the District Bar
Association are becoming enthusiastic
about the lawyer reference plan" now
in operation in more than 80 cities.
There is another reason for the en-
thusiasm Proponents see the plan as
insurance against the possibility that
the legal profession may someday move
into the limelight as a candidate for
the sort of socialization which is now
being talked up in connection with the
medical professioh.
This reference plan-which provides
legal advice at an advertised fee. and
legal service at price stipulated before
hand-was voted down by the District
Bar Association year ago. But its pro-
ponents are hopeful it will be adopted
after the September convention in Wash
ington of the American Bar Association.
The national body approved the plan
four years ago, and has been enthusi-
astic in advocating it.
The reference plan was first adopted
by the Los Angeles Bar Association in
1887 as a means to. tap a new source Of
clientele and win new friends for pro-
fession often distrusted and even feared.
Briefly, it works like this:
A local bar association establishes a
reference Office manned by members of
its staff, volunteer committee or paid
lawyer To this Office come those per-
sons who have legal problems but can
not afford to retain a lawyer, and who
yet are not so impoverished as to qualify
for free advice from the associations
legal aid Office.
The problems are heard by a con-
Sultant in the reference Office. He gives
no advice, but makes an appointment
with lawyer who is registered under
the plan. The lawyer to whom the
problem is referred charges fee aver
aging IS for half an hour of consul
tation, If further action is required,
client and attorney agree on mutually
satisfactory fee.
In order to make the plan known, the
har associations oneratjnp reference
Offices have launched publicity cam
paigns which, though quiet and dignifled,
would have been severely frowned on
Is years ago.
Although the present advocacy of the
Evening star., 1950-04-24

lawyer reference plan by the American
Bar Association is admittedly an effort
to stave off any possible attempts by
the Government to socialize the profess
sion, the project was defeated in Wash
ington because several lawyers protested
the plan itself was socialiStic.
Advocates of the proposal. however.
argue the preventative law" program
is no more socialistic than low-cost, pri-
vately operated medical clinics. They
note that not enough Of these have been
established to head off demands for a
national health insurance program.
Opponents of the plan here also pro-
tested that the administration of the pro-
gram-the reference Of clients to law
yers-might be unfair. A report prepared
for the American Bar Association last
year. however, showed that of 26 bar
associations reporting. 10 regarded the
program as satisfactory.
Two associations said it was not work.
ing satisfactorily, but one said lack of
finances was the cause, and the other
reported a revised plan was being set up
Five associations gave qualified answers,
none of which were completely un-
favorable.
The District Bar Association did accept
two proposals which were offered as in
tegral parts of the operation of the law
yer reference plan-establishme of the
Office of paid executive secretary, and
authorization of an institutional" adver-
tiSing program.

Of unusual sounds, and this is exactly
what it is.
There are two varieties of the parula
warbler. the Northern and Southern
with the former the largest.
The State of Maryland is the place
where both varities meet.
Place names for the bird range from
blue yellow-backed warbler through
finch creeper to blue yellowback.
This warbler likes moss for nesting,
and is not too often found where some
hanging moss does not exist.
Usnea is the favorite moss. This is
sometimes called beard moss.
The nest is made, in many instances,
by no more trouble than pushing the bill
into the moss and bringing in enough
extra material, such as plant fibers, to
make a safe flooring.
The entrance to this nest is not from
the top but from one side.
Eggs laid range from to Z. They
are cream-white, sometimes dull. some
times glossy. speckled with brown.
The female parula Is duller in color
than the male. with upper parts less blue.

and handling costs. One man who has
had much experience working with these
people estimates that the average
Eskimo family requires $1,000 a year in
cash to take care of necessities. This
does not include what they get of the
land-hunting. fishing. trapping, etc.
Another common misconception about
the Eskimo is that they are healthy
people who die only of old age. This is
not true. The incidence of tuberculosis
is extremely high. and they are quite
susceptible to respiratory diseases in
general.
The necessity for an income and the
prevalence of disease give us two very
good reasons why we should recognize
our duty and see to it that the Eskimo
is given the education he needs and de-
serves. Whether an Eskimo gets job
frequently depends upon his education
liability to speak English. for instance)
and his physical condition. The Arctic
Contractors, I believe, will not hire
tubercular Eskimo, and this organiza-
ton is probably the largest single en-
ployer of Eskimos in Alaska. 1t should
also be mentioned that education is one
of the strongest weapons we have against
T.B. at the present time. Educating
the Eskimo to live under more hygienic
conditions sounds like a simple task.
but il will not be. There are important
cultural and economic considerations
that eliminate this possibility.

The warblers. as a group, are very
confusing, Sometimes identification is
only possible through very close in
spection, and this. with such little fell
lows. is not always possible.
Perhaps most home lockers should be
satisfied with just seeing a warbler"
and letting it go at that.
Warblers constitute a very interesting
group of birds. They are always at
tracted by bright lights. often to their
death
Another charming one, often seen
here. is the Maryland yellow-throat.
This is the one that appears to wear
a neat black mask. He is most often
seen in shrubbery.
One has to be above a Tennessee
warbler to identify it. It is said there
are more Of these in Alaska than there
are in Tennessee, and even more than
are found in Canada. though the Tennes-
see warbler is. oddly enough, regarded
as Canadian species.
For many years the catbirds were
blamed for running grapes. but today this
blame is placed squarely on the small
shoulders Of the Tennessee warbler. But
since there are not many Of them. really
very little damage is done. Most war
blers eat insects. and this helps to keep
natures famous balance true.

Probably a parula warbler.
April and the first half of May are
warbler times.
Eighty species go through, most of
them on their way North
The thing about the parula is that
it is considered resident warbler, that
is, it nests in this vicinity.
April 6 has been recorded as the
earliest appearance here. Average date
is April %.
The name "parula" means smap Parus
or titmouse. It is supposed to have been
given because Of its way Of looking for

It may be identified by its habit of

Reducing the Postal Deficit

Although, as Chairman Cannon of the House
Appropriations Committee commented, Post
master General Donaldsons economy drive CO.
incides with congressional consideration of postal
fund cuts, 1t would be unfair to regard the
retrenchment plan as just a propaganda stunt.
With the postal deficit running more than half
a billion dollars year, it should be evident to
any one that drastic measures are in order.
Even If the full postal budget requested by the
President were to be granted by Congress, huge
savings still would have to be effected somewhere
in the department to reduce the recurrent op-
Grating deficits
Whether a reduction of postal services is
the best approach to solution of the deficit
problem is debatable-and the Association of
Letter Carriers (AFL) already has opened the
debate with an outburst of indignant opposition
Certainly there are other ways OF improving the
efficiency of the Post Office Department and
thereby reducing operational costs, as the Hoover
Commission has pointed out. None OF the COM
missions recommendations toward this end has
been effected as yet, however, although several
are pending. One Of the key suggestions OF the
Hoover group already has been consigned in
definitely to Senate committee pigeonhole
This is the plan, approved by the President and
by the Postmaster General, to take the Post
Office out of politics" by removing postmaster
ships from the patronage field Proposals for
reorganizing postal administrative and account
ing systems are still under study.
Meanwhile it is right that Mr.. Donaldson
should be taking the initiative in searching for
ways of lifting his expensive department out OF
the red. AS career employe, he is thoroughly
familiar with the wide activities of the postal
service and is well qualified to Judge where cuts
can be made with the least damage to depart
mental efficiency and with the least inconven-
ience to the public Since it is estimated that
about 80 per cent of business and residential mail
is delivered the first trip every day, the once
a-day delivery to homes should not prove too
great a hardship Some business firms may be
adversely affected by reduction in daily deliv-
cries, however What must be kept in mind by
all customers of the Post Off1ce Department is
that postal deficits are a burden on everybody,
that the department cannot go on running up
such enormous deficits indefinitely.

Labelling Historical, Progressive?

Our eminent psychologists may even
now be probing growing phobia among
Americas intelligentsia. Latey I have
been witness to increasing manifesto
tions of it.
It is a deep annoyance of labels" and
''classifications" Some of our polloi
("hoi," am informed by scholars, is
Greek for the" hence my not using it
here) also appear to be similarly af-
fected.
If you will pardon favorite cliche,
with increasing frequency our Dons are
heard remarking in petulant tone: You
are always labelling. cataloguing, claSsi-
flying, pigeon-holing people and things
1t is so annoying"
Perhaps our big domes" have some
thing there-but what is it?
dislike being labelled naive, but
hasn't this urge to label, catalogue,
classify been basic to our Western Civ
ilization and scientific progress? How
ever. forget that our intelligentsia has
gone Oriental and is subscribing to Yoga
and synthetic Hindu mysticism.
I cannot picture life without labels
and classif1cations. Think Of it-no die
tionaries or encyclopedias, no scientists.
no "PhDs.,' no patent medicines, no
canned foods, and no jobs for most
Of our label-hating "intellectuals."
