rowed" by the Americans to equip a
leave center. Werner surrendered three
OF his own and persuaded several OF his
friends to part with theirs.
Not unnaturally, the rods haven't
been seen since Equally naturally, the
friends are filed with resentment. Wer-

The prize stag was shot by British
officer under Werner's guidance and
brought down more Of the local light
ming around Werner's head.
First they said that I gave away
their fishing rods, and then that was
giving away their best animals, teo."
Seed for the birds now is readily
available although it is four or i've
times as expensive as it was 10 years
ago. Housing the broods Is much more
difficult. AS every one else In the
neighborhood, Werner has been re-
quired to share his home with refugees.
1t hasn't left much room for canaries.
Sale Of the birds has been compli-
Gated by currency controls which are
lifting gradually. Werner's main hope
still is the fanciers in the United States.
Oddly there is very little market in
Germany. One neither sees nor hears
the birds in this district where they
have been bred to their present per-
lection over period Of 400 years.
Werner says the Germans still can't
afford to buy or keep them.
Apparently the canaries were SINH

ernment. don't. So it boils down to
Capital. Transit seeking to increase
fares principally at the expense of the
Government worker. And are Govern
ment salaries increased? Why not have
top transit men take salary cut to help
with the company deficit?
Here is my cents worth Of advice
on the Capital Transit discussion: Buy a
bike. I did and save Is minutes
getting to and from work by taking a
shorter route and not having to wait
for bus or streetcar. Furthermore, I
expect to save on doctors bills, as this
means Of transportation is healthier
than crowded vehicles.
Faithful Subscriber.
When take my little nephews on a
bus or streetcar, I have to pay Is cents
apiece for those little tikes, sometimes
for only few blocks. The closing of
the day-care centers was tragedy for
lot OF small-salaried folks. When there
are no Fairgrounds in neighborhood,
and several little folks attempt to 60
to recreation center at 80 cents apiece,
figure the carfare in few days. And
II schools are taken away and pupils
have to ride to another school, at even
half the regular fare, this all comes out
OF the purse.
Recently was trapped in q Streetcar,
compelled to listen to program I did
not want to hear and which made me
exceedingly nervous. The windows were
closed because it had been raining. The
car was Stuffy and there were the usual
transit noises, plus the irritating noise
OF the radio and the unusually loud
tones Of the announcer. A group of
well-dressed, good-looking but very ILL
hammered young teen-agers boarded
the car. and between their yelling and
shouting and the blatant tones Of the
radio announcer, it was almost unen-
durable.
Eventually they left the car, and
farther on transferred to another car.
only to be followed, of course, by the
same loud radio.
What could do? Stop the car and
call the police? had paid my fare to
the transit company, which was sup
posed to be public convenience. had
to endure it until reached my destina-
ton, and then it took every ounce of
self-control could muster not to make
other folks suffer for my frayed nerves.
What is the power behind the transit
company that they can do as they
please?
J.E. s.
The attempt of Capital Transit to in
crease fares for school children looks like
just another part of that company's
pattern to extract every possible penny
from the people Of Washington. Other
cities are still giving greatly reduced
fares to school children.
Why is it necessary for Senator Hol-
land OF Florida to sponsor this increase?
Gould it be because nearby Congressman
or Senator'S whose constituents are con-
cerned wouldn't go along with this latest
big-prof1t idea? Would the people Of
Florida approve a move by Maryland
congressman to increase fares in
Florida?
Our Glover Park busline is typical of
the school-children riders. They get on
when the bus has plenty Of space, ride
their short distances before the bus gets
overcrowded, thus giving the Capital
Transit some entirely new revenue and
do not cause the company to run a single

do not particularly relish adding to
the already heavy woes Of Brig. Gen.
David j. Crawford, who has been repri-
manded and relieved Of his command at
the Detroit Tank Center. But in fairness
to the countless enlisted men who have
been dishonorably discharged and SEN
fenced to hard labor for similar and
lesser offenSes, believe the public Is
entitled to know that Secretary Pace
treats the general lightly when he states
that he transgressed standards expected
OF an officer" by using Government ma
terials in building pleasure boats at Fort
Wayne, Mich. and in transporting per-
sonal property at Government expense

Gen. Crawford's punishment will
probably be limited to the freezing Of
his grade and his assignment to some
remote post, camp or station whore the

minor as compared to the strenuous
duties imposed ut the tank center. In
due course, he will retire on q nice

The ordinary CT would not have Jared

Army would have thrown the book at

differently? The answer lies in the
Army truism that courts martial Of

Why are, our Servicemen, who have

I wonder how many people know that
the million people who are working
under Government contract for the
armed forces were recently commanded,
by simple order Of the Defense Estab-
lishment, to keep their mouth shut over
the controversy between President
Truman and Gen. MacArthur-or suffer

our servicemen fair trials, as we civilians
have?
