success depends upon circulation. The
most successful are those which print
the most crime. war and sordid sex

In short, the publishers are giving the
people exactly what most Of them want
The recent Kefauver crime investigation

columns were printed about it, yet the

Army Promotions
C.. E. S.

The present system Of promotion Of
Army officers by selection would not be
tolerated by most industrial and busi-
ness groups. It is extremely detrimental
to the morale of officers who have put
in long years of faithful military service
suffering the hardships and hazards
Of army life, shouldering the heavy re-
sponSibilities that the defense Of their
country requires-to know that. in spite
of their best efforts, they have no chance
whatsoever of being given the highest
acknowledgment Of faithful service by
being selected for any of the grades Of
general. In fact, the harder they work
the less effort they have left to cultivate
socially the people in power who could
help them. This Is causing many heart
aches among men who have earned the
grade of general many times over,
through work way beyond the call of
duty.
At the same time they see around them
young men. some of them mere swivel
chair strategists and cocktail comman-
dos, who have done nothing spectacular,
being given these high grades.
And promotion by selection is causing
younger men of ability to stay out Of
the military services. as they know that.
human nature being what it Is, promo
tons that hang on the whimS Of their
commanding officers are very poor Sc

promoted within a certain time means

The cedar waxwing is the one mostly

The nest is large, of the usual miscel-

If the birds can find them, pieces of

well as hair.
Many birds have a hard time to find

The purpose of these tips has never
been ascertained.
They simply are an added point of
perfection in an almost perfect bird.
In some sections Of the country wax
wings are called cherry birds.
Experts tell us that this is something
of misnomer, claiming that the wax
wings eat only q few cherries, of the
earliest varieties.
NestlingS are fed exclusively on insects,
the smaller the better. This seems to
be the universal rule in bird life. Even
seed-eating birds use small insects, their
eggs and worms as baby" food.
Waxwings fly in flocks from 80 to 60
birds, composed of few families. Usu-
ally the family consists of the father,
mother and four or five young.
Young warnings are duller in appear
ance than their parents.

The beauty Of their coats is not spec

good singers. It seems that the prettier
the bird. the less likely it is to be a
real singer.
This is the best season of the year to
begin learning bird songs.
AS the wood thrush and the wren and
the catbird and others return to us, it is
easy to pick out one from the other.
The best way to learn (which is which"
is to ask some one who knows.

did in the 10th Congress to bring about much
needed reorganization of the Fofeign Service,
he played highly constructive wartime and
postwar role in helping to persuade his coll
leagues to enact such historic measures as lend
lease, aid to Greece and Turkey and the Marshall
Plan for European recovery.
Although he gave his attention to domestic
issues, on which he invariably voted in support
of the administration, Mr.. KEGS overriding and
consuming interest was in the work of the
Foreign Affairs Committee Consistently both
before and after he became the committees
chairman, he strove diligently for united,
bipartisan action, and he was in no small part
responsible for the fact that it was achieved
on some of the most far-reaching international
legislation in the history of the United States.
No fanfare ever marked his efforts, but he has
left behind him genuinely distinguished
record in the service of his country.

ByChorIes E. TroceweH

Isn't this the best way to find out
about most things?
Even then, the person who is at heart
a sceptic will harbor few doubts.
He may feel that the bird he hears is
some strange species, when all the time
it is just an old startling in the tree.
Spring does things to starlings, too.
At this season they like to perch in
bushes and initiate small boys whistling.
In all ones listening to bird songs, one
ought not to overlook or forget the
robin. He is not easy to overlook but his
song is: this is because it blends so per-
fectly with all the other songs and out
door noises.
Even when indoor sounds, such as the
piano. violin and voice, come through
open windows, the robins MARBLE mixes
with them perfectly, so that often it is
not heard at all by those who listen to
bird music.
It takes little intent to pick out the
robins song, at first. Once it is done,
however, it is lifetime possession, and
priceless one.
Too many persons accept the robin,
simply that and nothing more. They do
not realize that he, too, is musician,
whose song is different from that of his
cousin, the wood thrush, but quite as
wonderful. He loves best to sing just
before rain. and this. called his rain
song, is his best offering. -.

John Kee

In March, 1949, when he succeeded the late
Sol Bloom as chairman of the House Foreign
Affairs Committee, Representative John Kee OF
West Virginia was known to few Americans out
side Congress or beyond the borders of his own
State. And when death struck him down during
Yesterdays committee session he was still pretty
much a stranger to the public at large. Yet
this quiet, self-effacing man-an excellent lawyer
with keen analytical mind and gentle spirit
that abhorred noisy headline -hunting-was one
of the Nations most devoted servants hard
working legislator whose contribution in the
international field will surely live on after him
as kind of monument to his name.
For Mr. Kee-a member of the Foreign
Affairs Committee throughout all of his eighteen
years in the House-was an American acutely
aware of the dangerous nature of these times
and of the problems that the United States had
to meet to serve it's own best interests. In a
unique respect therefore, he dedicated himself
with sense of duty and urgency, to inter-
national matters Wholly apart from what he

Another Old Soldier.

The cost of living has increased. Pri-
vate industry employees are receiving
wage increases Of 10 per cent and higher.
The defense agencies find it more and
more difficult to hire personnel essential
to the preparedness program.
What is proposed for Federal workers?
A per cent wage cut, in the form Of a
reduction in leave privileges: For the
first five years Of service annual leave
would be cut in half; sick leave would
be reduced to IS days. In the average
ploye who uses all his leave works 214
days. Under the proposed rules he must
work 229 days for the same pay. In the
past he could accumulate unused an
nual leave as a substitute for unem-
ployment insurance. This privilege would
also be denied him.
Is this the way to attract scientists,
engineers and others into the Govern
ment service, where they are urgently
needed to keep this country in the tech
biological race for better weapons of
defense?
Only an accompanying II per cent
pay increase, and provision for unem-
ployment insurance, could compensate
for the per cent leave reduction and
provide the 10 per cent cost-of- living
increase needed to keep Federal salaries
from falling behind those offered by pri-
vate industry. with which the Govern
ment is in direct competition for workers.

A Public Health Problem

It Is unfortunate that the controversy over
allotment of funds for disqualification of INDECENT
patients has shown signs of developing into a
contest between Gallinger and certain private
hospitals for such tax money. Experience has
indicated that the INDECENT problem cannot be
solved by the municipal institution alone or by
the private hospitals as group. Both types of
hospitals have place in the local program Nor
should there be any discrimination in the selec-
ton of private hospitals for this assistance-as
will occur if the Commissioners go through with
their plan to eliminate Garfield, Providence and
Episcopal Hospitals from the present list Of pri-
vate institutions granted District funds for care
of indigentS.
That Gallinger should expand its services for
the treatment of INDECENT patients is natural and
proper It's efforts to improve its service to this
class of worthy citizens not subject to criti-
cisrn At the same time, the District should see
to that private hospitals that provide necessary
care for INDECENT patients are adequately COM
pensated for this public service. If the tenta-
tive plan to cut off INDECENT funds to GARFIELD,
Providence and Episcopal Hospitals is carried
out one of two things will happen. Either the
INDECENT citizen will have to be turned away,
even in emergency cases, or the hospitals will
have to bear the burden of treating him, with
no hope of payment. The latter alternative will,
of course, be chosen, despite the manifest I'M
fairness of reimbursing some hospitals for such
treatment while refusing District funds to others.
There is another serious side to the proposal
to remove the three hospitals from the reim-
bursement list. The INDECENT program has been
the basis of hospital training programs that are
vital to good hospital care and administration
The training opportunities have attracted young
doctors to the hospitals and brought improved
medical care to the patients. Providence would
be especially hard hit it. it were forced to refer
all its indgents to Gallinger. Health Officer
Seckinger, concerned with the possible deteriora-
ton of training and hence of hospital service,
has opposed any reduction in the number Of hos
pitfalls available for treating indigents
Instead of destructive competition for in
digent funds, there should be friendly and CO.
operative understanding between municipal and
private hospital authorities in this important
field of disqualification. This is public health
problem warranting the Commissioners in calling
general conference of Health Department Of
fcials, doctors, hospital representatives and
others concerned with better disqualification in
Washington. For more than an economical dis
tribution of budgetary funds is involved in the
present controversy.
