Doing the Right Thing

1t was to be expected that the Republicans
would try to make a little political capital out
of the administration decision to get the foreign
aid bill through the Senate before taking up the
Fair Employment Practices measure Despite
Republican jbes, however, the right decision
was made
Wherever the political advantage may lie,
the fact remains that the foreign-a aid authorize
tion is of much greater Importance to this coun-
try than any FEPC bill. And the Republicans
know it,
When the new Congress opened last year
priority was given to an administrations n-sponsored
attempt to revise the cloture rule. The intent,
OF course, was to pave the way for final vote
on civil rights legislation, but the Southerners,
after f1libuster, beat down the effort. The only
result was the loss of weeks of time when other
important measures might have been acted on.
This year, with the elections coming up in
November, there is every reason to believe that
Congress will adjourn by midsummer. If the
President or his congressional leaders were to
insist on scheduling another protracted battle
over FEPC at this time they would do so at
the risk of serious danger to the foreign aid
program and other essential bills. No President
with sense of responsibility would incur that
risk. Mr.. Truman's blood pressure may jump a
bit under the COP taunts, but sensible people
will know that he is right and that the Repub-
lcanS are wrong.

Too Many Gentlemen

Whether the charges made by Senator
Mccarthy concerning Communists in the
State Department are proved true or
not, the fact remains that for the first
time in long period Of years. one Of
our governmental sacred cows" has
been under attack.
I have been concerned about United
States foreign policy for long time.
My concern has nothing to do with COM
munism I have believed. and nothing
in the public press has induced me to
change my mind over this period of
years, that the State Department policy
was backward one, not in keeping with
the wishes of the majority of our people.
Just as soon as other nations start
''rattling the sword" as Japan and Ger
many did, right away we started the
"appeasing." Many so-called experts in
this country, even up to the late 30s,
actually believed we could appease Japan.

Increase in the number of titmice in
the District of Columbia and nearby
Maryland and Virginia is very good
thing.
Here is one Of the neatest of all birds,
and to have more of them is desirable,
especially near homes.
Friend of the chickadee and the white
breasted nuthatch, the titmouse is the
small one with the crest.
It is impossible to get away from
relative sizes, in bird knowledge: one
must have some idea whether a given
species is about the size of a common
sparrow, or a robin, and so on.
Our titmouse is such a bird as one
might dream of, natty fellow in slate
gray, with underpartS of white and
reddish, or light cinnamon-rufous.
Actually, the titmouse is bit longer
than the English sparrow, good
inches in length as compared with the
5A inches of the common sparrow.
Head, with crest" says the birdbook.
but that scarcely gives the idea.
1t is the crest that distinguishes the
titmouse from its friend, the chickadee.
which sports a neat black cap.
Sometimes newcomers to bird watching
confuse the two. but there is no need to
they are as different as can be.
The increase in numbers of the titmice
is noticeable because one bird answers
to another.
At times one may tend to think this o

We think 1t better to leave such
attempts alone.
Birds really "say" nothing, as far as
English is concerned.
What they do SAY" to each other is

selves. We do best, perhaps. to listen
to them as we would to a musical instru-
ment. What such an instrument says"
to US is our own business.
Small insects and their eggs are taken
the year around by the titmice and the
chickadeeS.
This makes their service to mankind
of great value, for they catch and eat
thousands of smaller insects undetected
by larger birds.
All fall and winter long they look for
the eggs of insects laid in bark crevices
in trees.
Hence an increase in the titmouse
population Is a very good thing, wholly
aside from the merriment they give
watchers at all times Of the year. Though
small, the titmice do big business In
insect catching and for that reason are
wonderful to have around where there
are trees.
They nest in deserted woodpecker
holes, laying from five to eight white
eggs, heavily spotted with red-brown. In

sort of ventriloouist effect. but 1t Is
nothing of the sort.
On walking along Brookeville road the
other afternoon, we heard one titmouse
calling to another.
The bird to the west had a peculiar
intonation to his whistled song.
1t was initiated by bird to the east
of the road. This specimen initiated the
peculiar intonation of the western
specimen.
After listening to this interchange for
several minutes. and not yet seeing the
one to the east, we concluded that the
second series of notes was due simply to
the first one initiating himself and
throwing his voice across the road.
But then came the payod-
The second bird evidently grew tired
of trying to initiate the other.
He suddenly cut loose with his very
own way of singing. and this time he left
no one in doubt that he was second
and a very real bird.
The tufted titmouse, as he is mostly
called. sings two syllables, with the accent
on the first.
This call note is whistled, repeated as
many as four times.
To those listeners who demand words
or approximations of words to their bird
songs, the titmouse may be said to say
''peto." Others feel he more nearly says
''tur-ve."

South Capitol Speed Trop

South Capitol street, for a two mile
stretch bordering Anacostia Naval Air
Station and Boiling Field, is an uninter-
rupted four-lane dual highway, without
crossroads, intersections. or pedestrian
traffic. Yet this piece of road, equal to
Virginia's so miles per hour Shirley High
way and Marylands SIS miles per hour
dual highways, bears the speed limit of
80 miles per hour. The only apparent
reason for this is that nineteen years ago
the maximum limit for the District was
set at this figure. and no adjustment
has been made for improved highway
conditions.
Traffic regulations should aim to speed
vehicles to their destinations as quickly
as compatible with safety requirements.
Such Is the case on Rock Greek Parkway
which. although within the District
of Columbia, is subject to the jurisdiction
of the U. S. Park Police. Rather than
fix an arbitrary speed limit, they re-
quire only that vehicles be driven at
speeds reasonable under existing road
and traffic conditions.
The District Police. on the contrary.
have imposed an unjustif1able speed limit
on South Capitol street. which unneces-
sarily impedes traffic. And to add insult
to injury. they are patroling this highway
in unmarked cars, a practice which has
been rejected by many States as being
too underhanded to be used by police
in a democratic land.

South Asia Headache: Too Many Chinese
By Peter Lisoeor

ID ED CHINA has some vast and vul-
IN nerable targets among the Chinese
people living in Southeast Asia. And
the Peiping darts are dipped in a IA
miliar totalitarian mixture as they're
aimed to the south.
The old Hitler technique of repriSals
against families or relatives in China is
being used to bring into line those Chi
nese living in Thailand. 1ndo-China and
elsewhere in the region.
Fear of losing business contacts and
properties in China also represents a
strong hold on the Chinese businessmen
in those countries which have become
an theological battle-ground in the cold
war.
With an estimated 3 million Chinese
in Thailand and some million in Indo-
China, Red China has a potentially
powerful fifth column in the making.
AS United States officials scratch their
heads over shaping policy for South
east Asia, this factor is getting some
sober thought.
Government officials in the Southeast
Asian countries friendly to the West
openly acknowledge feeling of hope
lessness about the Chinese in their midst.
Their attitude is that nothing can be
done, that the Chinese will naturally go
Communist. if not out of fear or threats.
then out Of the sentimental "old country"
attachment which has beguiled emf
grants and their descendants since people
started moving.
A hopeful counterbalance to this fac
tor. authorities say. is the historical anti
China feeling among other Asian
countries.
This is a feeling, amounting almost to
q fear. rooted deep in the native popu-
lations and quite apart from the political
complexion of China.
In Indo-China, for example. the
Peiping radio has exhumed old fears by
constant reference to the fact that Indo-
China was formerly part of the Chi
nese empire.
Malaga is less worried about interna-
tional communism than it is about
Chinese Communists, because of the old
distrust and fear of China. This is
true in Indonesia and Burma. as well.
