'Buzzing' Is a Deadly Folly

The Civil Aeronautics Boards Safety 1nves-
tigation Division has recommended swift ana
sure punishment" for private flyers found guilty
of "buzzing" "Buzzng" is the dangerous show
off stunt of diving low over homes or cities, a
practice often indulged in by young flying en-
thusiasts bent on impressing friends or relatives
with their prowess The tragic part OF the
buzzing problem is that so many who resort to
it receive swift and sure punishment" without
intervention by the CAB. Accident records
compiled by division experts show that nearly SO
per cent of private plane crashes are the result
of sheer recklessness by the pilots.
An analysis OF $50 private plane accidents
during 1e48 tells the grim story. Investigators
found that In 758 crashes that cost total OF
1898 lives the pilots were at fault, not the
planes OF the three more prevalent types OF
pilot errors" contributing to these fatalities,
reckless flying including showing off at low
attitudes" led the list. Thirty-three crackups
that took toll of So lives were blamed on
flying while drunk" These figures, with the
CAB Safety Investigation Divisions comments
on them, should be required reading for every
private flyer and would-be flyer.

is an important consideration. There is no point
in turning out turkeys in places where they
cannot find sufficient nuts seeds, fruits and
insects to keep them alive. The proverbial Jobs
turkey"-which had only one feather and was
obliged to lean against post to gobble-was
the product of an unfriendly environment OF
the type which the Federal Fish and Wildife
Service particularly warns against. A standard
representative of Meleagrs Gallopavo slvestris
Vieillot should be four feet tall and weight be-
tween 16 and 40 pounds. So large and heavy
a creature demands lot of food. He likes to
be well-stuffed and soon dies off if starved The
Federal and State wild turkey enterprises are
centered on the principle of placing the birds
in surroundings capable of supporting them in
companies of so to 100. This appears to be a
practical and soundly economic program.

This and That

Later the squirrels will start to make
their nests the large bird-neSt-like al
fairs one sees high in trees at this time
Of year.
These nests are made of bitten-of
branches, which the mother squirrel
rolls into ball and carries in her mouth
to another tree.
8 She never remains in the tree where
she gets her material. Perhaps this is
a sort of animal insurance, to keep other
creatures from getting too much squir-
rel smell
She takes the balls Of rolled up ma
terial to the chosen site, usually In
large fork of branches, and there
spreads them out.
The making of the nest may take
from two to three days.
During this time the mother literally
makes hundreds Of trips, until human
watcher becomes tired Of her incessant
going back and forth.
The family OF our common gray squir-l
rel is usually five in number.
Both parents take care Of the young.
and this care continues for at least
two months.
During this time the small ones grow
tremendously, but never dare to set
foot on the ground,
It is interesting to watch them come
down the trunk, down, down-but draw
back when they are within loot OF
two Of the earth.

SQUIRRELS, as well as people, like some
thing green to eat at this time OF year.
In the spring~-and in winters warm
enough to cause the creatures to think
of spring-the squirrels look around Tor
a bit Of salad.
Then the fresh green twigs OF ever
greens, and even the seeds in the little
cones, strike them as just the thing.
Hence they strip the branches. throw
ing away what they do not want with
almost the fine disregard OF human be-
ings.
No harm is done the evergreens.
All that happens is a good pruning,
although to the sanxious owner 1t may
seem to be plant murder.
It is normal for squirrels to eat de-
ciduous twigs and bark, and no one
thinks anything Of it, but q preference
for ones precious evergreens seems tc
be something else again.

Fuchs and Atomic Cooperation

The United States, Britain and Canada
should lose time in trying to work out joint
security system effective enough to permit
revival-in a reasonably limited form-of their
historic wartime partnership in the field of
atomic research and development
AS matters stand, the partnership has been
all but liqudated by Congress in the 1946 law
establishing our civilian controlled Atomic
Energy Commission. Under that law numerous
restrictions forbid close co-operation-in terms
of exchanging certain types of information and
working together on important projects-betWeen
Acc scientists on the one hand and British and
Canadian scientists on the other What is for
bidden in short, is pooled effort of the sort that
played an indispensable role in the production of
the A-bomb-the kind of effort that can still be
of immense value not merely to our wartime
partners but to US as well. IL
There are many reasons why we need to
engage again in something like that effort.
Britain and Canada, for one thing, control large
sources of uranium, the supply of which Is vital
to our own atomic output. For another thing,
their ,nuclear scientists, who rank among the
worlds best, undoubtedly can be OF real help to
us in our projects Above ALL the two countries
are key members of the Atlantic Pact, and in the
case of the British particularly, we must work
out special arrangements to collaborate closely
with them II we expect Lnem 10 aQnere 10 lnelr
present policy of not manufacturing A-weapons
of their own-a policy concentrating the pro-
duction task in the United States in order to
avoid wasteful duplication of effort and drain
on the limited amount of raw materials avail
able in the Western world.
Yet, although these and similar considera-
tions argue powerfully for the restoration OF
real cooperation, the three countries have
suspended negotiations for an agreement to that
end The suspension is linked directly to the case
of Dr. Klaus Fuchs the naturalized English
scientist who has just been sentenced to IA
years Imprisonment for having betrayed to
Russia the vital secrets he learned while working
on the most hush-hush of atomic projects both
in Britain and in this country. Obviously and
with very good reason, Congress is hardly likely
to approve any executive understanding for
a revived partnership long as there are
grounds to fear that one another. OF the
partners is lax enough in its security safeguards
to invite the infitraton of men of the Fuchs
type.
Accordingly, until a uniform and effective
Anglo-American- Canadian security system car
be established-a system that will screen out the
actually or potentially disloyal-the restrictions
of our 1946 law will almost certainly remain ir
force The problem needs to be tackled a:
promptly as possible The sooner it is solved tht
sooner will our three countries get back to th'
kind of atomic cooperation that can yield rich
dividends all around.

4 S Chairman of the Senate District
n Committee, Mr. Nicely of West Vir-
einia has many difficulties. BY no
means the least of them is the difficulty
of getting together enough committee
members to transact the city's business.
There is nothing new about the prob
lem. of course-it is natural product
of the system whereby Congress is called
plain fact is that service on the District
Committee is not popular. and no
one will bypass State or national work
to come to District meeting.
But Senator Nicely has had an unusual
amount of trouble on this old score.
Why? His standard rule has been
and still is-that he won't wait more
than five minutes for a scheduled meet
ing to achieve quorum. If enough
members aren't present on time he
wants to call it off and try again later.
He calculates he has lost years OF life
during his congressional career merely
waiting for members to come to meet
ings.
In keeping with this, he has summarily
adjourned several meetings OF his Dis
trict Committee this year, though some
members had come but not enough to
constitute legal quorum. One member
has complained openly about Nicely "lec-
lures on tardiness.
This unhappy situation has made
headlines more than once in recent
weeks. But the other day, there was
news of the bites-dog variety
Twice in the same day-not once, but
twice-Senator Nicely achieved quorum
of his 13-member committee.
Furthermore, business was done. Two
new judges for the overburdened NUM-
cipal Court were approved (and later
confirmed by the Senate) and Mr.. Nicely
won committee approval for his bill tt
set up a District Commission on Human
Rights. ~

For Free and Honest Testimony

The House Armed Services Committees slap
at Navy Secretary Matthews is in effect vote
of vindication for Admiral Denfeld. The ousted
Chief of Naval Operations is entitled to derive
all the comfort he can from the committees
action, as he goes into retirement after a dis
tingushed naval career.
Many persons inside and outside the Penta-
gon will agree with the committees finding that
the summary dismissal of Admiral Denfeld from
his top-level Navy post was a "blow against
representative government in that it tends to
intimidate witnesses and hence discourages the
rendering of free and honest testimony to the
Congress-" Secretary Matthews has denied that
his removal of the former CNO was in reprisal
for the Admiraps "free and honest" testimony
at the Capitol on what he considered the i'll
effects on the Navy of certain Defense Depart
ment policies. But the committee majority still
regards the custer as "reprisal."
Whatever name is used to describe Mr..
Matthews extraordinary action, the effect on
the naval service-and on the other services,
too-was exactly the same as though Admral
Denfeld had been frankly punished for giving
free and honest testimony. II the e11ect
should be lasting-and it is difficult to eradicate
50 intangible q reaction-Congress and the
American people sannot be sure of learning the
true state of our military strength. Congress
has a right to receive and defense authorizes
have an obligation to give, "free and honest,
facts and opinions on the Nations security

timony may be to someone at the Pentagon.

Wild Turkey Project

Every schoolboy presumably knows how Gov
ernor Bradford of Massachusetts, Colony In 1871
sent four men in search OF game for thanks
giving feast and the four men soon returned
with enough wild turkeys to afford everybody
in the settlement plenty of both dark and light
meat Most schoolboys also know that 1t is a
rare sportsman nowadays who can go into the
woods anywhere on the North American conti-
nent and shoot a modern example OF the
species Meleagris Gallopavo. The wild turkeys OF
history disappeared long since. Uncounted thou
sands of them ranged from Maine to Central
Mexico in the seventeenth century. 1t is some
thing to write home about if traveller sees one
even in sparsey inhabited territory in the twen-
tieth So the Government, very properly it seems,
has launched wild turkey restoration project.
Congress passed the Pittman-Robertson Act to
provide the required funds ten years ago. Thus
far 13 States have taken advantage Of Federal
aid to start local breeding and distribution.
Virginia made survey in 1889 and began
stocking Jefferson National Forest and other
suitable areas shortly afterward. Tame mems
were put out to mate with wild toms Eggs were
incubated, chicks raised, feeding reserves pro-
vded in the woods, hunting restrictions enforced
The new birds survived the winters without dif-
ficulty. Wild turkeys now are increasing IN Al
least ten Virginia counties. Gradually, it is be-
lieved, the wild turkey population will become
large enough to permit occasional shooting II

in Colorado last October. The Legislature OF tha
State has established 600-acre natural turke!
range as a shelter for stock bred to order

before he pounded his gavel. phone

visitors on State business-and she was

A gentleman even above his convic-
tions on time, Senator Nicely waited.
Within another five minutes he had his

nations subsequently were approved.
Apparently, this success was con-
