Anniversary Dept.
 Friday the 18th may be consid- cred unlucky by many people, but we do not presume Senator Gerrlt "Heinie" Snider is among them' yesterday. April 13, was his eoth birthday.
 "Heinie" has travelled good many miles since that April Is III 1886 Git was Tuesday, when he was born in Monnitkandam, Hol- land.
 At the age of IA he started to learn the shoemaker's trade, put our information does not indicate whether this was a woodworking or a leatherworking craft. At any rate in 1904 he went to sea as a shlps steward. A couple of years later he was a soldier in German west Africa. then a sailor in the Italian merchant marine.
 He left the sea in 1908 and trav- e1ed in South America for nearly a wear before he turned his steps northward and came to Alaska. he has been in Alaska pretty much ever since, prospecting. quartz mi- ming, railroading, fur farming ana nroduce farming, and making his home at Matanuska, Wasilla ana Anchorage.
 Back in 1946, when "Heinie" first tossed his hat into the Territorial political arena, he was next to hlgh mar, in the Third Division legisla- tive election. He received 2,692 votes out of 5,778 cast and a seat in the House and was topped only by veteran Representative William A. Egan.
 Two years later "Heinie' received 1 133 more votes than he received in 1946. but it wasn't enough. That year the Third Division turned in a record total of 8,454 votes and H.Heirie" found himself in 9th place

SIum Clearance and Public Relations

The revitalized District Redevelopment Land
Agency is getting off the right foot in its new
program of Slum clearance. Having learned its
lesson the hard way-at Marshall Heights-the
agency has decided to give more stress to public
relations than in the past Lack of an adequate
program for informing the public of its plans
undoubtedly had much to do with the storm Of
opposition which residents of Marshall Heights
stirred up. It was evident that some OF this
opposition was the result of misunderstanding
of the redeyelopment plans and objectives. Con-
gress finally killed the whole project but author
ICED an attack on the problem elswhere in the
District.
Now the agency, under its first executive
director, John r. SearleS, is planning to take resi-
dents OF potential redevelopment areas into
partnership in the enterprise. The next attempt
ut slum clearance will be made in the blighted
section of Southwest Washington, near Capitol
Hill. This section for years has provided photog-
raphers with excellent shots of slums against
Capitol background In preparation for this
program, the agency has printed an information
pamphlet containing questions and answers
covering virtually every phase Of the under
taking The questions are similar to those raised

Opposition for Mr.. Nehru

Prime Minister Nehru and his Congress
Party now face organized political opposition in
the form of new party-the first formal group
ing of its kind since India became independent
of Britain almost four years ago. The full sig
nificance of the development remains to be seen,
but 1t at least indicates that the country is
beginning to break away from the one7party
system that has thus far governed 1t.
Founded at meeting attended by politicos
from every part of india the new organization
the Peoples Party-is headed by ]. P. Kripalani,
Gandhi follower who has heretofore played q
fairly prominent role in the affairs of the Con-
gress Party. He and his group appear to be
dedicated to platform that advocates the fol-
lowing, among other things: Cd Strict Indian
neutrality in the East-West struggle; "a a
friendly approach to Red China; go militant
opposition to Mr.. Nehru and his "quixotic i'm
pulses" In both foreign and domestic policy;
and a. decentralized democracy that is to
steer clear of capitalism, communism and the
wholesale naturalization" of socialism.
These are rather vague principles Mr.
Kripalani-who has spoken half admiringly of
the Chinese Communists even though indicating
that he is highly suspicious of them-has made
only one thing clear: He and his Peoples Party
are against Mr. Nehru and hope eventually to
defeat him and get themselves elected. In terms
of voting appeal their actual strength is still to
be tested, but the mere fact that they have
formally banded together for organized opposi-
tion suggests that the political pot may be coming
to q boil In India.

Board Of Trade Disoppoints

Your editorial, Another Agreement
Repudiated." in which you point out
that Congress has failed to live I'D to
its promises to equitably share the ex-
penses of local government, is an In
dictment of the men in Congress and,
indirectly. of our Board of Trade.
The ethics and principles of Con-
gressmen may be divided into two
classes: Those who are statesmen and
those who are politicians. The states
man believes in democracy, in repre-
sentative government and in fairness
and honest dealing. The politician, who
may mouth and double-talk these
avowed principles, is fundamentally mo-
tivated by constituent votes
1t is disappointing that men of the
caliber Of those who make up our Board
Of Trade would place more Importance
upon "let well enough alone" and align
themselves thereby with men who lack
moral fiber and who, by deed, make
mockery of the democracy they so
blithely represent.

1t is done. as our correspondent says,
In robust manner.
It possesses something of the "robusto"
OF musical diction.
1t is at once loud clear and whole
some music.
The way it blends with other OUT
door sounds, especially later in the day.
prevents some listeners from hearing it.
1t is fact that too many bird friends
fail to hear the robin music because they
never have sat and listened to it "all by
itself"
Once they have done this, they meyer
can miss hearing 1t in any situation
1t is not widely known that during
courtship the robin sings with his bin
closed, but he is heard by his mate.
few feet away. listening.
Robins sing during incubation. but
are SO busy feeding the young later that
they fail to sing for time.
1t is not until the babies are out OF
the nest for few days that the father
begins to sing again.
One of the finest robin musical dis
plays is what is commonly called ..sing
ing for rain" Moist earth means q
great deal to robin. for it brings UP
his favorite food.
His singing just before rain is inare,
complicated than the usual song, and
Is louder. but still very sweet. It is
sort Of red Indian rain invocation, and
1t is interesting to realize that the robin
song we hear at this time is precisely
the one the 6rst Indians heard.

Dear Sir:
To-day is my day off from work in
the Post Office Department.

my fine hearing aid and tuned in the
birds cathedral of song.
The groves were Gods first temples
Surrounding my home are aged oaks
and poplars. naples and pines.
I'm this setting the morning concert
takes place.
FIRST the woodthrush opens with q
plaintive querulous solo.
HE is quickly joined by several robins
in their robust manner, unlike that Of
any other.
s'The cardinal picks up the refrain
and almost Immediately every songster
within range cross-blends his voice with
the rest.
The catbird, various warblers and
many others are readily identified
through the medium of my electrical
ear.
when the glad chorus of praise and
thanksgiving has all but ceased, the
mockingbird closes the service with
Handel's Messiah
II thank you.
Sincerely, E. H."
Now. that's . pretty fancy, a bird
closing service with Handel
But 1t is not too far-fetched. The
famous chorus from that work ID very
chirpy sort Of thing.
