Raw Onions

Raw onions, as you probably
know. contain a flavorful, volatile
oil which may or may not be re-
tanned after cooking. If you prefer
mild-flavored onions. they should be
cooked in a relatively large amount

times in flight cages. or large rooms.
Fanciers like to let their pets out of
the cages into the house upon occasion.
In this way the creatures are made to
feel, veritably, more at home.
They fly around, and go back to their
cages in a better frame of mind, or
something.
Sometimes, however, they find an open
window
Pop! Right through it they go, wing
ing their way into the sunlight, true to
their own nature.
This is all right, during spring and
summer.
Everything goes WELL
Usually the exotic species manage to
get along with our native birds. If seed
eaters, they are fortunate, for thousands
of suburban dwellers. and many in the
city, too, put out food for them.
Sometimes the upset owner adver-
tises, but it is like looking for needle in
a haystack, except this needle has wings.
He is here today, gone tomorrow.
To him, five miles is nothing, ten miles
scarcely more. He flies around, having
q good time, as nature ordained.
When the frosts come, however, it will
be a different matter, and then one
must feel sorry for Blue Boy and his like.

Defending Europe

1t was surprisng-if he was making con-
sidered statement--to hear Secretary of State
lAcheson say several days ago that, in defending
Europe, "it doesn't make any difference that you
are outnumbered."
Actually, it makes great deal of difference,
as the fighting in Korea has conclusively shown.
1t may be true that mere preponderance OF
numbers OF troops is not necessarily decisive
factor. Mr.. Acheson referred to modern weapons
and ingenuity" and it is to be expected that
these to some extent, would offset numerical
deficiency. But modern weapons and ingenuity
are not going to enable the IL divisions in West
ern Europe to beat off attack by the $50 to 200
divisions which the Russians could throw against
them. To suggest or even to imply the contrary
encourages the notion that there is some easy
way to security in the West and anything which
fosters that attitude contributes nothing to our
chances of survival.
There is grave doubt in many minds that
Western Europe can be defended at ALL Perhaps
this is too pessimistic view. But we certainly
should expect, in event of war, that the Russians
will have modern weapons of their own and men
capable ofSpsing them Too many of our pwn

Something about the sky was there.
Surely no local bird ever had such a
color.
The nearest thing to it is the blue Of
the indigo bunting, but his color is
duller.
The color of Blue Boy is that of the
sky, with an iridescent quality, remind
ing one of the same in other species,
notably the grackle, the starting and
above all the scarlet tanager.
Every now and then some cage bird
gets loose.
This is the source of some of the un-
usual reports of strange species seen by
bird watchers in our suburbs
Cage birds are by no means as popular
as they were in the old days, when any
one could get good specimen in his
own yard.
The law prohibits that now.
Even eggs and nests are protected by
Uncle Sam, the great protector Of all OF
us.

Why does The Star find it regret
table" that Senator Taft be called to
account for his opposition to United
States efforts to combat Communism?
What is the nature of this high Taftian
craftsmanship that he who throweth
so much mud should himself go un-
stained?
The Star condemns w. Averell Har-
rinan's objective observation that Mr..
Taft's voting record in the Senate has
served to further the interests of the
Kremlin. The Star lauds Mr.. Taft as
a man of principle and honest con-
viction" and implies that these virtues
place the man above criticism from such
as Mr.. Hartman. But isn't it quite clear,
really, that Mr.. Hartman might very
well grant your point but still reach the
obvious conclusion that Mr.. Taft is a
man of stupid principle and utterly
unfortunate convictions as regards for
eign policy?
Will The Star contend that Republi-
cans in general, and Mr.. Taft in particu-
