under the auspices of the League
of Maryland Sportsman in early
March. 1t is going to be bigger
and better. this year according to
the plans which are unfolding
rapidly. Our show comes ahead
of the Baltimore show this year,
the dates being March 3-12.
If you haven't put that shot
gun away in cosmoline for the
winter, why not take it and a few
shells and have a go at the crows?
There are plenty of them around,
and a little prospecting should
put you in line for some excellent
sport. A foggy afternoon, or a
day when the wind is blowing
hard are the best times to hunt
crows.
They mostly fly close to the
ground when the weather is bad,
affording better chances for shots
There are possibly three or four
more weeks left during which
time crows gang up and roost in
great f1ocks. Around the first OF
March. they start to pair off fo1
the nesting season, and the roosts
soon break up.

MOT long ago, woman took her eight
~ year-old son to the neighborhood clinic.
Hes fine, " the doctor said. Heart, lungs,
blood pressure - couldn't be better. But
how long has he had this stutter?"
She couldn't remember exactly She thought
Jimmy had suffered since he was six
And you never gave it any attention."
the doctor asked.
She shook her head slowly Il always
thought he'd outgrow it, she said Il never
thought it meant anything"
The doctor wasn't so sure He sent Jimmy
to a specialist. The report showed that
problem that had existed for years and could
be solved only by psychiatric attention -
which he is now getting.
His mother would never have overlooked
case of mumps or an infected finger. Yet
she hadn't noticed symptom just as obvi-
Gus as fever or infection - although psychia-
trists and pediatricians now know that de-
tecting these emotional problems in time is
no less important than treating a physical
injury early.
thousands OF parents every year continue
to overlook the emotional disturbances of
their children. Take the boy who came to
the office of DR.. ]. Louise Despert, New York
child psychiatrist He was shy, quiet eight
year-old, and still insisted that his mother
take him to school and call for him every day.
He had no friends. He was always afraid that
other boys would beat him up. DR.. Despert
noticed that he was carrying a large teddy
bear. Il talk to it, the boy said. Il talk to
it when have no one else to talk to"
Woxld of His Own
r URTHER examination of both the boy and
his parents showed DR.. Despert that the
parents had become so busy with their own
lives that they had deprived the child OF the
love he needed. AS partial compensation,
the boy had built world of his own around
his teddy bear, talking to it, treating 1t like
real person.
The child was only one step removed from
a serious mental condition, said DR.. Despert.
Although his parents were highly intelligent
people. they had watched him center his
attentions around teddy bear long after any
normal boy would have lost interest - and
they still refused to recognize this symptom
These are just two of countless cases OF
neglected emotional problems. Despite the
tremendous advance in psychiatric and pedl-
atric knowledge in the last. decade, the aver

Justice Douglas and Iron

Did Justice William o. Douglas really
ALLEVIATE the 1ranians from the United
States? According to your editor and
the New York Times correspondent, he
did. It depends, think, upon how you
look at the problem.
The big feudal lords and various ex-
ploiters of the masses were, naturally,
irritated by his suggestion. They, who
follow every United States diplomatic
directive in the hope of remaining in
power, now are disguised with Justice
Douglas positive suggestion. Sure they
are willing to follow United States poll
cies, but as long as it takes a negative
shape-in the form of anti-communism.
To the ruling circles of Iran. communism
has indeed very broad meaning, evi-
denced by their recent repressive meas
ures and trials.
The Communists were worried too,
They called Douglas "spy" and an
"inciter." The real cause of their worry
was not his Spying" activities as much
as the moral support he gave the truly

Dr.. Bunche, Man of Peace

This is such a warlike world that the Nobel
Peace Prize may seem to be quite out of place in
it. Nevertheless, the honor well becomes Dr.
Ralph J. Bunche. In fact, in awarding it to him,
the Norwegians have recognized that he deserves
1t in unique sense, for no citizen of any country
has within recent times played role as direct
and as personal as his in putting an end to
armed conflict.
Two years ago that conflict bloody war
between the Arabs and the Jews in Palestine
had in it, potentially, the makings of universal
conf1agration. With the brutal assassination of
Count Folke Bernadotte-the United Nations
mediator-the outlook for peaceful settlement
seemed dark in the extreme At that point how
ever, DR.. Bunche applied his exceptional gifts to
the situation Taking over the hard task of
mediation, he refused to be discouraged by re-

of either side to abandon violence and negotiate

Costoqeini and the Capitol

Because of the fair attitude of The
Star through the years concerning
Brumidi. Costaggini and the rotunda
frieze of the Capitol, wish at this time
to present few facts concerning Cos
taggini.
My Brumidi research has led me to
uncover some valuable documentary ma
terial pertaining to Costaggini Bru-
midi's successor. Brumidi began the ro-
tunda frieze in 1877. He died on Feb
ruary 10. 1880. after finishing but seven
of the Is historical groupings he had
planned for the rotunda. It was Bru-
midis dying request that Costaggini be
allowed to finish the frieze.
Costaggini was highly recommended
to Capitol authorities. as is shown by
the following letter written on February
"a, 1880. by the pastor of the Church
of the Epiphany in New York:
II take the liberty of asking you to
give earnest attention to the request
of Sig. Costaggini to be allowed to
continue the work begun by Brumidi
in the Capitol, this being in accord with
Brumidi's own solicitation. Sig. Cos

Why Exclude the District?

It is unfortunate that the Youth Correction
Act just passed by Congress does not apply to
the District of Columbia There is as much need
for such a system of youth rehabilitation in
Washington as anywhere else. 1t was explained
at the hearings on the bill that the District was
excluded because of budgetary and time-saving
considerations. But Chief Judge Laws of District
Court testified that similar legislation is urgently
needed here. If the program is as essential as
Judges, penologists and others declare it is some
way should be found eventually to institute it
here.
The law, sponsored through Congress by
Senator Kilgore, Democrat, of West Virginia, is
designed to avoid the evil effects of committing
youthful offenders to prison alongside hardened
adult criminals. This problem long has been
worrying Federal judges. 1t was the subject of
a special study by the Judicial Conference,
committee of which recommended legislation
similar to that which has been enacted Chief
Judge Laws was a member of the committee.
The act permits Federal judges, in their discre-
ton, to commit offenders under % to the custody
of the Attorney General for observation and
possible rehabilitation. More specifically, the
young prisoners would be taken over by new
division of the Federal Parole Board to be known
as the Youth Correction Division. The division,
after adequate study of each case, will be en-
camps or other places of rehabilitation-away
from the influences of habitual criminals. If
the wards show sufficient improvement, they may
be released under parole supervision.
The plan does not interfere with a courts
right to sentence prisoner according to existing
criminal law, if it thinks the circumstances
warrant harsher penalty. But, even in such
cases. the judge may call on the Federal youth
correction authorities for information and advice
in passing sentence. Laws similar in purpose
already are in operation in several States, with
marked success. 1t is said that one reason for
excluding the District of Columbia from the
Federal act was fear that the hearings would
be greatly prolonged and passage of the bill at
this session would be imperiled. With the Federal
legislation the books there will be good reason
at the next session to consider extending the plan
to the District To deprive Federal judges here

cannot be said that there is perfect peace between
the two at this time, but owing primarily to his
splendid work they have definitely stopped shoot
ing at each other, and one of the worlds most
vital strategic areas has thus been saved from
an explosion that could have set the globe afiame.
So it is not really surprising that the Nor
wegian Parliament's Nobel Prize Committee has
chosen DR.. Bunche for its award this year. At
time when war and rumors of war trouble the.
sleep of all of us, he has set shining example
of what can be done to curb mans inhumanity
to man. The people of our country have reason
to be proud that this outstanding compatriot,
this grandson of Negro slave. has been singled
out for the great world honor he richly deserves.

Epiphany on Second avenue near 2lst
Street, New York. a most superb proof
of his artistic skill and coloring and
do not fear to say that he is not be-
hind Brumidi himself either in design
or in execution of his painting"
George C. Hazelton in his little book.
"The National Capitol, Its Architecture,
Art and History" published in 1897 is
responsible for the current impression
that Costaggini crowded his part of the
frieze m order to leave room for two
designs of his own. However. there is no
documentary evidence that can find to
support that statement.
Costaggini had Brumidi designs avail
able only in small size and had to make
all of his own large-s sized patterns.
There is evidence, too. that Capitol au-
thorities communicated with Costaggini
over period of years concerning designs
for finishing the frieze, as is indicated
by this letter extract from Costaggini
to the Architect of the Capitol, dated
1896:
'I send you herewith two sketches,
with explanations of what I consider
appropriate frescoes to be placed in
the Capitol"
You, own Star reporter seems to have
had the facts well in hand when he
wrote, in 1907, upon the death Of
Costaggini,
"Costaggini completed work up to the
last group. which represents finding of
gold in California in 1849. There he
stopped, not from inability to go on,
however. but from the inability Of those
in charge of the work to select the next
epoch in American history to picture"
