any violation of that parole would

The liberal publicizing OF that
case, including names and ad-
dresses of the IL boys, and the
sentence of the court caused
both the boys and their parents
to be Ostracized in school and
in the community, but failure to
attend school meant going to

on the part of that Judge. 1t not

In SOME respects it is still the

their lack of confidence in this
department that is designed to
correct the Army's wrongs and
injustices.

Mr.. Donohue Comes Throuqh

Expressed opposition to confirmation of
F. Joseph Donohue as District Commissioner
seems to rest almost entirely on the implication
that his past connections with the liquor indus
try, as lawyer would embarrass him as Com
missioner responsible for the regulation of that
industry.
But such an implication assumes substance
only when coupled with a showing, out of Mr..
Donohue's past conduct that his reputation is
that of man lacking in integrity. There has
been no such showing. In fact, the testimony
has been quite to the contrary. Senator Welker,
for one, has been impressed by the fact that not
a single person has taken the stand to complain
of anything that Mr.. Donohue has done in rs
years of law practice which would indicate doubt
as to his competence or honesty.
Mr.. Donohue probably will make very good
Commissioner. If the instincts OF a natural
born politician are helpful in this post, and they
doubtless are, he may show himself to be supe-
ror. No one could have handled himself with
more graceful ease, under examination, or have
been less upset by meeting, face to face, some of
his more expansive utterances during the Cali
fornia senatorial campaign last fall. One hopes,
however, that his future oratory as a Commits
soner will be more effective for the District of
Columbia, in such matters as obtaining an
increase in the Federal payment than it seems
to have been for Helen Gahagan Douglas

Many listeners refuse to believe it.
mo startling could make the sounds
I heard" they say. But they are mis-
taken. Starlings not only could but
do, and the total result is vastly pleasing.
Bird sounds in this vicinity will not be
completed, in total effect, until the
robins appear in sufficient numbers.
The song of the robin is of a warbling
nature. right out of the heart of things.
In fact. it blends so well with all out
doors that many fail to hear it!
This comes about because of its nature,
in part waving up and down. soft yet
loud, in the way birds have of combining
softness with shrillness.
This combination is known only to
our feathered singers. When we humans
sing or whistle, the result may be loud,
or it may be soft. but seldom the two
together.
With the birds, it is usual. Consider
the wood thrush, which will not be here
until the last of April, unless we have
very early season, indeed.
The thrush, official bird of the District
of Columbia, is one of our loudest singers,
and one of our clearest.
His song can be heard for many blocks
on quiet morning, yet even when it
comes from no more than 20 feet away
1t possesses the quality known as soft
ness. This it is able to do because Of

the construction Of its vocal chords.
There is no hindrance to the sounds, and
hence the loudness, but the bill acts as q
sort Of sounding board, something along
the order of the old, old fashioned horn
OF the first monographs.
Speaking of birds and monographs,
they love to hear them, and this includes,
Of course. both radios and television sets.
X
The reaction of our feathered friends
to television ought to be interesting.
Those quick little eyes would have no
difficulty in spotting things of interest
to them. but it would have to be in their
ancestral experience. The beautiful
young lady with wide grin would leave
them cold. but a mouse creeping along
would be something they would under
stand, or cat, but not a hunk Of suet
perhaps. Pictures of foods would not
intrigue them, because they could not
he fooled by something so unnatural.
The motion of the living thing would
attract them. even the beautiful lady
when she reached for a smoke.
When spring comes, and the birds
are singing naturally speed them up a
bit by opening the windows wide and
turning the radio or photograph up a
notch or two. The birds will love it.
Oddly enough, their favorite music, we
have found, is Spanish American, par
ticularly the rumba and the mombo. No
doubt the rustic and motion of this
music appeals to them as it does to
human listeners.

The policeman and the titmouse were
whistling away.
To many ears, the bird had by far the
best of 1t.
Sharp and shrill, the traffic cops
whistle grated on human ears, as 1t
was intended to do.
Sweet yet loud. the titmouse's "dog
calling" had all the beauty of most bird
sounds.
Nobody has been able to initiate per-
fectly the bird songs, though many most
laudable attempts have been made.
Some men are able to whistle them
almost well enough to fool the birds.
Records have been made from nature
itself.
They all miss the perfect combination
OF loudness and sweetness, somehow.

United States planes. trucks and other
supplies to the Russian army, put Russia
back into the war. If we had not saved
and supplied Russia's army, it would
have taken millions more United States
troops to conquer Hitler.
Now Mr.. Hoover is counseling the
United States to put its maximum useful
effort into air and sea forces, and to
put only that effort which may be re-
quired into land forces. He is counsel
ing US against weakening our economy
and our war potential by sending S

war on the ground where they have little
advantage over any other soldiers. He
Is counseling us to wait and see what our
political allies of Western Europe, with a

in their own behalf.
Your editorial boasts that the United

do 1t. Nor does 1t make it wise to put
ourselves in the position of having to
do it. x.,.,,.

Not Mr.. Greene's Bill

The Star, in its issue of February %,
published news item from staff cor

the Prince Georges County delegation
in the General Assembly had killed a

is that while have written and sub

THE BU1DUP for the Big Four dep
l. uties' meeting. which opens in Paris
today. has made it perfectly plain that
the United States is going into this con-
ference with the approximate enthusi-
asm of man preparing to have his teeth
X-rayed. We have an uncomfortable
feeling this is going to lead to trouble.
At a casual glance. the foreboding
mood over here seems little surpris-
ing. After all, in agreeing to these pre-
liminary talks on possible Big Four
foreign ministers conference, the Rus
slams have yielded to our insiStence that
the agenda cannot be limited to the iso-
lated subject of Germany. At face value,
at least this is a good sign. And what
If 1t should develop that Russia is going
to be just as stubborn as ever. contribute
ing nothing to the conversations but
eyewash and, insults? This has been
Russia's behavior every time so far. and
it hasn't done us any particular harm.
Why are we SO worried about this
meeting?
The answer. surprising one, is this:
We are worried because there are signs
that Russia, looking askance at the be-
ginnings of West European re-armament,
may be preparing to make real peace"
move. designed to take the steam out of
the drive to build the power of the free
world
Stated thus bluntly. our attitude does
not sound particularly attractive. This
probably is why Phillip c. Jessup, our
Ambassador at-Large and chief dele
gate to the present conference, went out
Of his way before leaving for Paris to
deny that our Government expects Rus
STA to embarrass us by springing any
surprise proposals.
But DR.. Jessup knows better than
that. The fact is that the propaganda
from the Iron Curtain, and the activities
of the Kremlins East German puppet
government, have been causing concern
for weeks. They have been causing this
concern because they seem to be laying
the groundwork for a full-dress Russian
proposal that the Big Four should pro-
coed forthwith, in quick stages, to set
up democratically- elected alderman
Government-to withdraw all occupa-
ton troops-and to leave Germany as
a unified, disarmed and neutral state.
So identified, our worry might appear
still less worthy. Are we to be the ones
to oppose German unity? Partitioned
Germany has long been recognized as
the worlds No. l sore spot, the most
likely scene of the outbreak of dreaded
World War III. Would not any Western
nation, which wanted peace, welcome
any genuine Russian move toward q
settlement Of the German problem?
Now it Is important to realize that
the essence of our dilemma is not our
wholly justifiable suspicion that Moscow
never will make any genuinely concilia-
tory proposals regarding Germany; that
