paths of the past for the vitality of
American culture.

There is no question of loyalty among
these people" he says. "They were born
here. They live here. This is their
home. What they know about China
is what you or know. What we read
in the papers,"
The Rev. Hung, chairman of the Chi
nese Consolidated Benevolent Associa-
ton of Washington, referred to the
statement which that association issued
recently. The last paragraph of the
statement reads:
"We pledge our unqualified support
and cooperation as Americans first, and
as people who have profound knowl-
edge of the real menace Of communism
and despotism. We make this pledge
with keen sense of humility. and with
a fervent hope that the American people
will understand the peculiar delicacy of
our present position"
Americans who appreciate democracy
do understand that delicacy. Those who
don't. fortunately, are few and far be-

knowledge-we would pick Chang" He
shook his head and smiled rather sadly.
DR.. S. K. Lee, a young optometrist at
813 Seventh street NV, has his own
version of what is happening in China
today:
Always, the family has been the
strongest thing in Chinese life. The
Communists are trying to make the state
bigger than the family. Only the very
young people in China, the boys and girls
under IS, they are following the Com
munists. The people of China are not
Communists"
What about his own professional re-
lationship since the war in Korea? About
half DR.. Lees patients are non-ChineSe.
"It makes no difference to them," he
says 'They come into the Office just
like they always did" He himself has
difficulty visualizing that non-Chinese
could conceivably view him differently
since the outbreak of the Korean Incl
dent.
The Rev. C. C. Hung is larger than
most members of his race. He wears
dark-rimmed glasses and his full face is
given to perpetual warmth. His church
is the modest Chinese Community In
terdenominational red brick Christian
Church at 1011 L street NV. His pa
rishioners are mostly young people, the
"5uksingS" of Chinese American slang.

Mr.. Dawes was natural choice as Calvin
Coolidges running mate in 1924. He was not
overly popular as would-be reformer of the
Senate'S traditional routines of procedure, yet
he did make friends as its presiding officer. Had
it been his destiny to reach the White House, he
probably would have been good President. I'm
der Herbert Hoover, he was Ambassador to Great
Britain and briefly the first head OF the Recon-
struction Finance Corporation. The last of these
assignments brought him difficulties accruing
from loans to his trust company, but he paid off
his obligations and emerged from the ordeal with
his reputation undamaged Up to the last his
instinct for service was compelling. The legend
that he was "tough" and "hard-boiled" was
largely fiction. Washingtonians remember him
as an outspoken but commonly kindly and gen.
erous person.

This and That

Cardinals are beautiful, and they are
fighters.
Few species possess so much sheer
muscular strength.
A wounded mother cardinal can Strug-
gle so that at times it is impossible to
hold her.
Few other birds put up such a fight
against being held.
E. l.. R.. resident of Sherrier place,
writes:
1--WE noticed our neighbor from down
the street squatting down for a. long
time. and on investigating we found he
had lady cardinal in his hand.
"He intrusted her to our care. I gave
her bread, grain and water in an open
pan, with basket turned over her, with
two bricks to keep any cats from getting
her.
I've had meeting to attend and
: when we returned she was quite spry.
II want to emphasize that she wasn't
afraid: her heart wasn't pounding. and
she wanted to perch on my finger.
Her mate meantime, was talking to
her from mimosa tree.
MY mother suggested that let her
out on the porch floor.
II picked her up, and she bit me, and
then took off across the porch and lit in
an evergreen.
1--WE were happy to see her recuperate,
amazed that she wasn't frightened"

Good Will to Both Men
Principal, lie,
burg, Va.

WORDS cannot do justice to the spirit
of Gen. Macarthur in his attitude toward
what has happened to him. feel that
his patience, courage and innate gen.
tility could only have been God-given.
No one hearing him could have failed to
sorrow with him for the passing Of his
beloved dream, the glorified certainty
of the completion of vision of service.
A hurt has been rendered, unwillingly
perhaps, but none the less painful. In
this instance, however, there is no doubt
that strength will be given to further
fare magnificently, or if in the twilight
the hours require rest and solitude, to
drop anchor here.
My sympathies also follow the man
who made the ultimate decision and
stood by it. No one but he knew how
hard that was to do. The burden of his
high office has lain heavily upon him
through these turbulent years that he
has served. Instead of vilifying him,
let us pray for him. Let us pray that he
may have made the right decision, and
if not, that God will make of that mis-
take (if a mistake has been made)
stepping stone over which America will
rise to lift herself and all lesser nations
that will rise or fall with her.

BY Charles E. Trocewen

There are few foods to put out that
will do it.
Mostly these birds eat natural foods,
and no one need try to lure them except
by putting up bluebird house.
Even with the incest house, the desired
occupants may never come.
There are certain places in and around
the District of Columbia where they
seem to be at home.
They will come to one section, for in
stance, but never be seen a few blocks to
the south. That is true of our own
neighborhood in Chevy Chase, Md.
We put up handsome bluebird house.
tc be rewarded by pair of bluebirds
which spent the day looking the place
over.
Then they departed, never to be seen
again.
What is more. no bluebirds have been
in the yard since, and that was 20 years
age.
There is nothing to be done about it.
These beautiful and friendly birds are
real Americans, doing as they please,
except when some natural catastrophe
strikes them, such as the sleet storm
which almost wiped them out in the
spring of 1895. That spring thousands
of their dead bodies were found along
the roads, in fields. and even in barns
and outhouses where they had sought
shelter.

bird was not afraid is that she had been
brought up 'by hand"
Mockingbirds and others which fly
down to shoulders and hands may be
suspected of having prior friendly rela-
tions with humans.
Bird feeding is so widespread now
adays that thousands of baby birds,
fallen from the nest, are raised by foster
parents,
Normally these birds join their fellows
in the outdoors, but usually they retain
more liking for human beings than most
birds.
A lack of fright speaks of some under
standing, but there is always the posi-
bility that an individual specimen is not
afraid, that is all.
Just as there are many sorts of people,
some friendly, some unfriendly, SO there
will be both friendly and unfriendly bird
specimens.
The normal cardinal is frightened
when held in the hand. Even when
wounded it puts up a great struggle to
get away.
Persons whose only close acquaintance
with birds is the canary or the robin
will be surprised at the sheer muscular
power of the lovely redbird. It can
struggle so that it is difficult to hold on.
This correspondent wants to know
what will attract bluebirds.

Home Rule Defeat

The six-to-six vote by which the Washington
"home rule" bill was defeated yesterday in the
Senate District Committee may not be the final
action on this controversial plan. There could
be other steps to resurrect revitalize the local
suffrage issue and some of them may be taken.
But yesterdays Senate District Committee vote
indicates there are grave doubts as to the wisdom
and public support of the Kefauver-Taft bill.
This measure has been subjected to attacks
from many quarters, ranging from those who
questioned its constitutionality to those who
quarreled with its plans for bonded debt, its
"dual voting" provisions and even with its out
line for election of councilmen by the city "at
large instead of by wards.
There are members of the Senate who very
sincerely believe in the cause of an elected city
government here even though this would fall far
short of elected District representation in Con-
gresS-the ultimate District suffrage goal. But
for those who can read the handwriting on the
wall, the Senate District Committees failure to
report the home rule bill means that such a bill
would be facing heavy odds in the Senate, should
it by some later development come up there fot
action
And if, under pressure. the Senate later
should adopt some such measure, there still
would be the basic issues which would grow
rather than subside Chances for enactment Of
the Kefauver- Taft bill, therefore, are much
DINNER today than two years ago when the
Senate, without roll call test, passed similar
bill and sent it to it's intended burial ground in
the House District Committee

AIexondrio's Schools Make News

There is little news any more in the fact that
there are serious school shortages in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area. There is real news in
the fact that at least one community has been
found in the area where school problems are few
and relatively inconsequential. Such COM
munity is Alexandria, according to the findings
of a committee of Virginia educators and State
officials
After four-day survey of the city's schools,
the committee has issued report which con-
tains no mention of overcrowded classrooms or
lowered teaching standards. On the contrary, the
report in general is highly complimentary to the
school system of the historic city across the river
Praise was given, particularly to the administra-
tive and teaching stats of the schools, which
were found to be Of Outstanding quality"
Alexandria deserves this pat on the back It
has been remarkably free from the troubles
which have plagued Arlington Fairfax, Prince
Georges, Montgomery and other Jurisdictions in
the faSt-growing Greater Washington region
True, Alexandria has not suffered as much as
her neighbors from sudden residential expansion
and hence her schools have not felt the heavy
impact of new students that the counties have
been subjected to. But the city has had to
handle wartime and postwar influxes of families
that required enlargement of the school system
ahead of normal schedule. It has met this de-
mand for classrooms by carefully planned
school construction program that has prevented
overcrowding.
The committee Of educators did not find a
perfect school system in Alexandria, of course
The report lists 30 improvements, mostly of an
administrative nature, that would raise the city's
educational standards even higher. Many of
these changes can be made without large ex-
penditures. Replacement of three elementary
schools by new buildings was recommended.
Alexandria already has long-range building
program designed to take care of the replace
ment problem. Fortunately there has been close
cooperation between the School Board and the
City Council on school construction, so that this
program is expected to proceed smoothly. Alex
andria has right to be proud OF It's record in
the field Of public education.
