to have an able Republican op-
ponent, D. John Butler. so the cry
that you can't trade something

mitigation of this difficulty is that

Butler was nominated by the

carried every ward. precinct and

his two primary opponents were
nobodies and still got 10000 votes
while the combined vote for the
two candidates for the Democratic
nomination for Governor was
100000 greater than the combined
vote for Senator.
These facts are squirting Repub-

1948 the State went Republican

Senator Tydings says that the
intense rivalry Of the two Demo-

from which he stood entirely
apart, accounts for the 100000
primary votes he didn't get.
It is an old Baltimore custom

Publicity. whether personal. as in

trick; that is, if one writes for permis-
sion to keep such bird, the authorities
know about it, and there is nothing left
for them to do, to save their own faces,
except to enforce the law. The same
goes for picture in the paper. Here
again the "law" sees violation, and
must act.
And this is proper since one open
violation might lead to others. and the

Nothing in the law prevents kind
hearted person from taking in an injured
bird, or bird fallen from the nest, and
attempting to bring it up in the way a
young bird should go. But it is essential
to turn 1t loose, at last. not only because
of the law, but, more important, Of the

Hotels Crowded in Dublin

Having visited Ireland in the course
Of a European tour, I would like to
sound a note of warning to prospective
American tourists who have listened to
Establishments of the Irish Travel
Bureau.
They should avoid Dublin. The hotel
situation in the capital city is shocking.
Scores of visitors are turned away every
day through lack of rooms. The ex-
planation is simple enough, though of
course no mention is made Of it in the
mad scramble of the tourist agencies for
the American dollar.
Every decent hotel in the city is booked
solid from early in May to the end of
September by visitors from every town
and hamlet in Ireland, to say nothing of
Great Britain and the continent. They
come for the great football games and
the horse racing; they come for honey
moon trips (no Irish country wedding is
complete without one) and to shop in
the great stores: also, to visit the famous
horse show and exhibition. They pour
in from Britain and Northern Ireland to
get the food that is so plentiful and
cheap in Fire.
AS matters stand, hotel owners are
becoming so rich that they have no
desire to build more hotels to meet the
demand This laissez faire attitude
so characteristic of the Irish-is creating
indignation among visitors and. If 1t is
not remedied. the profitable American
tourist trade will suffer serious blow.

Dear Sir:
II have sent you an egg which found
on the bare ground about fifteen feet
from tree in field.

you can possibly tell me what kind of
egg it is.
"We have the usual birds found
around here. including crows, and

It is the exact size and shape. but not
the usual tint. Still. bird eggs sometimes
vary. Some of them, usually with mark
ings, are plain; and tints will vary, in
the house wren from white to pale pink,
etc.
Catbirds and bluebirds also are candi-
dates, in the present case.
All of these birds have pretty eggs.
The remarkable tensile strength is
shown by the fact that sometimes they
can often drop many feet without break
ing.
Collection of bird eggs used to be

The bird egg is a wonderful provision

Vishinsky Coming

Mixed reactions will greet the Kremlin's
announcement that Foreign Minister Andrei Y
Vishinsky will head the Soviet delegation to the
United Nations General Assembly opening In
New York on September 49, On the one hand
MS coming may be regarded as an indication
that the Stain dictatorship-having broken it's
months-long boycott of the U. NJ with Jacob
Malik's return to the Security Council-has de-
clded to become slightly less unreasonable by
putting definite end to that boycott in spite
OF vowing to continue it as long as the Chinese
National1Sts remained seated as members On the
other hand there is more than little reason
to feel that Mr. Vishinsky, as Russias top inter-
national representative, will put on a show of
propaganda and vituperation that will make Mr..
MalikS seem mild by comparison
For the Soviet Foreign Minister'S will be
recalled by all who remember his last appearance
in these parts-probably is the worlds outstand-
ing name-caller, past master of red-hot invec-
tive and man who knows how to turn the truth
upside down with the greatest aplomb and with
frst-rate oratorical thunder. That being the
case, 1t Is only natural to assume that he will
cut loose with lot of nfuriating fireworks at
the forthcoming Assembly session. The one thing
not to be expected from him is sweetness and
light or proposal acceptable to the free world
STILL giving the devil his due, it must be admitted
that Mr.. ViShinsky has certain perverse charm
that should make him outshine the wooden and
somewhat surly Mr.. Malik when the time comes
for him to compete on television with the other
wise Incompatible Howdy Doody.

Don't Tell 1t to the Marines!

If the President had sat down by himself and
coldly deliberated the question: Whom can 7
most unnecessarily insult today?," it is unlikely
that he could have come up with better answer
than his letter to Representative McDonough on
the Marines. OF course the question never
occurred to the President. Harassed as he is
today by so many things the President is not
looking around for more hornets nests to poke
or push over. His epistle to Mr. McDonough is
one of those letters that are often composed but
seldom mailed by busy man who remembers
how frequently repentance follows hasty dicta-
tion.
OF course the letter comes to the Republicans
as bit of unsolicited mama from heaven and
will make far deeper impression on many minds
than the laboriously composed political docu-
ment on Korea that the loyal opposition has
produced by way of campaign ammunition. But
aside from its natural use by the Presidents
political opponents, the letter carries real sting
and it's inf1ammatory effects will be increased
by the conclusion that however unwise the Pres
ident may have been to write the letter, it reflects
and probably very accurately, contemptuous
many soldiers who are resentful of the unique
place it has won in public esteem.
The Marines have won this position, not by
organized propaganda that reminds the President
of Stalin-"Old Joe"-but by the sort of esprit
which most military men would give their boots
to build In any organization and which the
Marines have been able to build and support by
their pride in performance. The letter could not
have been more poorly timed. 1t could not have
reflected worse Judgment.

An Imperative for the West

In their latest communioue, the deputies of
the Foreign Ministers making up the Council of
the North Atlantic Pact have expressed satisfac-
ton over what most of the twelve signatory
nations are doing to build up common defense
to meet the mounting threat of Soviet aggression
against the Western World. At the same time,
however, they have emphasized that much
remains to be done" and that all governments
and peoples concerned must be prepared for
further effort and sacrifice"
This is another way of saying that not
enough is being done right now at fast enough
pace. Britain and France, the chief members
OF the pact next to the United States have
committed themselves to marked increase in
their armamentS production and general pre-
parednesS over three-year period during which
they are to be further fortified along with the
treatys other signatories, with large-scale Amer
lean military aid BY implication, however, the
deputies group-which acts as the permanent
executive arm of the pacts counci-has left little
room for doubt that the security of the West
requires greater effort and that the current
tempo of that effort needs to be accelerated
without delay.
Accordingly, the deputies-who have just
finished meeting in London and who will hold
another session later this month in New York
have decided to recommend that the Atlantic

have promised to expand for the Joint defense
of the West.
Reports from Europe indicate that among
certain officials, well as among the people at
large. the idea of such stepped-up effort has
been meeting with some resistance because of a
failure to appreciate the real nature of the threat
confronting the free world. If that is true. then
hlgh-level educational campaign would seem
to be in order-a campaign calculated to arouse
the sleep-walkers to the hard facts of life at a
time when the Soviet menace is casting its
shadow on virtually every corner of the globe.

Free Choice in Fairfax

Under Circuit Court Judge Browns referen-
dunn ruling, the citizens of Fairfax County will
have wider choice of forms of local government
than would have been possible if he had granted
the petition of the county manager plan advo-
Gates. The choice which will lie before the
voters on November is the threefold one
authorized by State law to be determined by
joint ballot. The joint ballot will give the citizens
the right to say whether or not they want their
government changed and, if so which of two
State-approved forms they prefer The wider
choice is justified by the fact that strong support
has arisen for the county executive plan, despite
a vigorous campaign by some of the countys
leading civic groups in favor of the county
manager system.
Sentiment for the county manager form of
government had been dominant in civic circles.
Publication of the report of citizens commits
sion appointed by the County Board to study the
need for change, if any, surprised many persons
in the county by its recommendation that the
!county-executive plan be substituted for Fairfax
sCountyS rural-type government. Under the
Executive plan a modern management system
similar to that of the county manager plan would
be set up, but the Board of Supervisors would
!retan control of administrative personnel. 1t is
lalso the feeling of proponents of the county
manager plan that the report leaves untouched
the matter OF more representation on the boaro
iof Supervisors by the county's rapidly growing
population.
The courts ruling makes it essential that
all citizens of the county be fully informed on
the differences between the alternative forms
which are to be voted on. The commissions
report cites some of the differences from the
viewpoint of group opposed to the county
manager plan. Advocates of the latter setup no
doubt will analyze the two systems from the
opposite viewpoint The prospects are that the
voters will have plenty of opportunity between
now and the election to make up their own
minds-which is as it should be. That Fairfax
Is taking the referendum so seriously is a sign
/ of progress that is encouraging to believers in
keeping government abreast of the times.
