year period the owner would be relieved from
paying taxes on the property, but he could not
use 1t, improve 1t or sell it. Although similar
provision is contained in the plan for urban
Montgomery County, the fact remains that three
years is long time to deprive an owner of his
property while the county makes up its mind
whether to buy it or not 1t is unreasonable to
penalize property owners for the dawdling of
county officials or agencies.
The planning commission will consider some
of these objections at a meeting tomorrow

Probing Loyalty

Senator Lodge of Massachusetts,, who
comes up for reelection next year.
wants to restore confidence in the State
Department by investigating it again.
His Citizens probe" of the department
consists of joint Senate-private citizen
body of eight members. This plan, un-
fortunately excludes the House and the
probe would be only in the State De-
partment. Therefore, think the COM
mission to investigate loyalty throughout
the entire Federal service, as recon-
mended in the Tydings Committee
Majority report in July. 1860, and which
Mr.. Lodge did not sign, has much
broader base and scope. It would con-
stitute more of Citizens probe" in
that 1t includes two members from the
House and two private citizens to be
appointed by the Speaker.
Further, it seems to me that Senator
Lodges concern for confidence in the
State Department comes rather late, be-
cause a very great deal Of that conf
dence was destroyed by Mr.. Lodges
own party. The hugeness Of McCarthy's
lie and the revilement Of Secretary
Acheson are unsurpassed in our political
history. Mccarthy could not have done

This and That
ByChorIes E. TroceweN

There can be little question that pet
animals can be spoiled" just as chill
dren are, at times.
If fed what is handy, from kittenhood
or puppyhood. they will be more likely to
eat what is available, in times Of stress.
Usually. cats will not eat canned dog
foods, once they have got taste Of real
fresh meat.
If brought up on such foods. they are
more likely to eat them later.
There can be no question about the
appeal of manufactured foods to the
busy householder.
Even foods made especially for cats
find themselves spurned by pampefed
pets brought up on roundsteak and
salmon.
1t is true that In the old days house.
holders never thought Of special foods
for the pet cat or dog.
These ate what the family ate, In the
main, just as our correspondent says.
It must be kept in mind, however, that
the ancestors Of those pets had never
been stinted on foods. as many pets were
during the recent war years.
In the old days. the home animals had
not reached the status Of q cult, as some
of them have today.
They were simply tolerated, loved. per-
haps. but not actually venerated, as they
sometimes are now. s-.-.s <~-.
Whether this is q good or bad infiu-
ence. who can say? Each attitude had its
good points, perhaps few poorer ones.
AS a Nation, we have always had time
for pet animals, which occupy an hon.
ored place In millions Of homes.
Evening star., 1951-11-13

We try to feed them properly, but at
times this is difficult.
The lives Of pet animals, as our own,
are complicated by many diseases, some
Of which no doubt come from failure to
live the natural life Of the species.
We can sympathize with them, in this,
since perhaps many Of mankind's own
ailments come from the same causes.
No doubt it is a good thing to &C
custom pets to what the human members
Of the family eat, for in this way there
Is less likely to be q transition period in
case one must change the fare, for any
reason whatsoever.
Cats are much more difficult to feed
than dogs. They are more selective. as
one might say, in their tastes. A family
which has had many cats over the years
will always recall one that ate oysters,
whereas none Of the others ever did.
One hears Of q cat which will eat
orange juice, another that likes tomato
juice.
Practically the one food all will eat IS
canned salmon, but its present price
makes it prohibitive. Who can recall
the time. not too far off, when three
cans Of the best salmon sold for-hold
your hat-25 cents?
No matter how good the canned food,
1t should be supplemented by several
meals week Of fresh meat. MIX is a
better food for dogs than cats, since it
causes diarrhea in the latter. It must
be kept in mind, too, that the cat is not
an omnivorous feeder, as the dog Ii. 1t
is strictly o carniyorous animal.

canter." Through all the book runs the
thread of the love story of Charles Evans
Hughes and Antoinette Carter, who cele-
brated together 55th wedding ami
versary.
The book seems to contain no broad,
careless strokes. Each of the multitude
nous tiny parts appears to be precisely
fashioned. From the artistic standpoint,
it is a mosaic, the figure Of its subject
emerging as an impression from thou
sand bits Of color. shape and size fitting
together.
The book contains many bits of his
tory, some important and some merely
interesting, which were new to this
reviewer. Headline material is tucked
away in obscure corners. It also contains
accounts of many hotly controverted
events and episodes as seen by one prin-
cipal participant. There are the nomi-

paign. the League Of Nations fight, the
Disarmament Conference of 1922, the
refusals to recognize the Soviet Union,
the course of the court in the New Deal
days, the fight concerning the court, the
early-day struggles with the bosses in
New York and many more. 1t will be
interesting to watch to see at what
points the controversies arise from this
book, for arise they most probably will.

Base Nonsense

Senator Johnson of Colorado is correct in
saying that any request from the British for
additional financial assistance should be con-
sidered strictly on its merits. But it does not
make sense to say that we ought not to be using
English soil for an atomic base, and that If this
Is being done it should be stopped at once.
Neither does 1t make sense to say, with
reference to the risks involved, that Iceland,
North Africa or Turkey would be better sites for
bases. If an atomic base in East England would
expose the people there to too great a risk of
retaliatory action by the Russians why does
Senator Johnson think that the Turks, for in
stance, would be any more anxious to accept such
q risk?
1t is possible to talk great deal of nonsense
about this matter of bases. A few facts, however,
seem more or less elf-evident One is that when
nations band together in this atomic age against
q potential common enemy there can be no avoid
ance of risks Each will have to face and accept
It's own risks. Another fact is that air bases
atomic and otherwise, must be located where they
tan be most effectively used. In the course of
Hme we probably will have air bases in all of
the places mentioned by Senator Johnson And
II the location of bases should impose an unusual
economic burden on particular country that is
q fact which should be taken into account when
the question of financial aid comes under con-
alteration.

Are modern dogs and cats finicky
eaters?
A Falls Church correspondent thinks
so, writing:
"a friend of mine recently purchased
q food for his cats, which wouldn't
touch it.
"This reminded me that the house cats
Of yesteryear were in just as good shape
as the cats of today. and they thrived on
kitchen scraps. milk and the backthrow
from churning, likewise the dogs.
"They seldom saw lamb chops, salmon
and fancy canned foods.
my theory is that they thrive on what
they are brought up on.
"My three dogs, brought up from
puppyhood, seem to prove the theory.
They have responded nicely to the feed
ing of the same foods eat.
my present Airedale is very demo-
cratic in his food habits, sharing my
dinner, which starts with full salad
plate of five raw vegetables, vegetable
soup and the main course. q small por-
ton of meat or fowl, followed by dessert
and coffee, which he drinks in the pro-
portion Of a demitasse.
Ills main dish Is popular canned
food, and once week, horsemeat and
knuckle bone or beef.
"I believe all domestic animals should
be started off to eat whatever foods are
most easily obtainable, during war and
peacetime. and then they will never turn
their noses up at such foods"

There Is a great deal of eornnonsenss
In these words.

To Mr.. Pusey hasten to say that he
has not merely produced several evenings
of absorbing reading matter. This work
is surely destined to be prime source
book Of the history Of half century.
It is meticulously done. sentence by sem
tence, every topic and subtopic docu-
mented with names Of the authorities
and the dates. It is as though the author
intended to brook no contradiction or
shadow Of question.
Mr.. Pusey was selected by Chief JUS
tice Hughes himself to be his authorita-
tive biographer. Available to him were
collection of papers and documents
carefully preserved by the Chief Justice
over IS years, all the extant private
papers, several hundred pages of bio
graphical notes written by the Chief Jus
tice after his retirement, and notes made
by the author in scores of long talks
with the Chief Justice over a period of
two and half years. In addition, Mr..
Pusey also had the inestimable aid of his
own f1rst-hand observation of many of
the events about which he was writing,
and of interviews with the actors in
many of those events.
The book begins with the birth of

believe that the letter Of Recalled
Reserve" appearing November g. would
have been much more interesting II he
had stated his real complaint rather
than to try to hit the military on present
pay scales.
AS a reservist recalled by involuntary
orders for period Of 21 months. I am
well acquainted with the relative pay
scales of both the military and industry.
If Recalled Reserve" is in his mind
making o financial success out of his
recall. he has evidently squeezed into
a rank above his qualifications.
The author Of the letter should know
that the military pay scales were estab-
Hshed as result of report of COM
mittee well represented by leading in
dustrialists. The Hook Committee"
knew that cheap help isn't wise in in
dustry and would be false economy in
the military. As result the members
recommended comparative schedules
for similar responsibilities as Of that
have made sizeable increases since, so
why not include military?
This is my first Pentagon assignment.
I think it is unfortunate that this un-
happy reserve hasn't discovered the

officers the services can produce. Unlike

Revision Needed

While it's overall objective is highly desir-
able one, the proposed plan for orderly develop
ment of upper Montgomery County will need
revision before it can become practicable guide.
Some such plan is essential If the expansion of
the county into the largely rural northern area
of Montgomery is to be properly controlled The
restraints should be reasonable ones, however.
If they impose unreasonable restrictions on prop
erty owners, large and small they will lack the
wholehearted public support which the planners
must have to achieve their goal
Some of the criticisms made of the tentative
plan prepared by the new Upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission are well founded.
It is obviously unreasonable, for example, to
require property holders to go through lot of
useless red tape involving the Planning Com
mission and other governmental bodies in order
to adjust a faulty boundary line. Yet the plan as
drawn makes no exception for such minor trans
actions Nor is it reasonable to take up the time
of the commission, the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the County Department of
Public Works and the Health Department with
small transfers of land from one farmer to an
other If the average farmer had to go through
all this rigmarole In order to sell an acre of
meadow to his neighbor, he probably would be
discouraged from selling of any of his land
except in extreme emergency.
One of the more controversial provisions Of the
plan calls for three-year "freeze" on private
subdivided property which the commission may
decide to reserve for public purposes-such as

Improving Prosecution MACHINERY

The final report of former United States
Attorney Fay repeated recommendation which
Congress should approve in fairness to his sue
eessor, Mr. Irelan, and in furtherance of more
effective law enforcement in the District Mr.. Fay
told Attorney General McGrath that the United
States Attorneys office should have its own staff
OF special investigators. Without the services of
such staff the District Attorney is seriously
handicapped in securing information in certain
cases Ordinarily the prosecutor could use-and
has Observation-Disclosures on loan from the Police
Department But sometimes members of the
Police Department are under investigation. In
this event the inquiry manifeStly should be made
by agents not connected with the police force.
On rare occasions in the past the Federal Bureau
OF Investigation has been called to aid in such
inquiries, but the FBI understandably has been
extremely reluctant to engage in extra-curricular
activities of this sort It has plenty to do without
being called on to investigate local police.
Another reason for giving the District At
torney investigative staff is that the arrange
ment for lending policemen to the prosecutor is
q loose one that depends to some extent on the
relationship existing between the United States
Attorneys office and the Police Department. This
relationship has not always been cordial. Under
such circumstances, the police officer detailed to
duty with the prosecutor is in the uncomfortable
ing loyalties. He cannot be expected to do a
good job when that situation prevails-as 1t has
at times in the past
The Davis Crime Committee gave attention
to this problem in its report on crime and law
enforcement in the District. The report said:
"Despite the burden of local criminal cases, the
prosecutor has been afforded no investigative
staff and must necessarily rely upon the police
for the preparation of that important phase of
each case. Except when dealing with specialist
squads of the Metropolitan Police force such
deficiency presents serious problem Without
q separate investigative staff, grand jury recon-
mendations can scarcely be pursued adequately.
Your subcommittee fully appreciates the need
for the creation of such an investigative staff to
function as an integral unit of the Office of the
United States Attorney and vigorously recon-
mends its creation forthwith" bill embodying
this recommendation was passed by the House,
but it died on the Senate side. 1t should not be

in their government to get votes? There
are other real vote-getting issues.

1930-1941 Is. to this reviewer. truly amaz-
ing. Several score opinions upon COM
plicated and difficult cases are epito-
mized In succinct paragraphs. and by
this pragmatic process the facets Of
judicial philosophy in many fields are
depicted. The labor and the scholar

book are awe-inspiring. Especially de-
lightful are the opening chapters in
which the boyhood and young manhood
are treated, not by vague general recol-
lections but from the texts Of many let
ters passing between young Charlie and
his parents. More than q chuckle a
page erupts from these chapters.
It is not the function Of a book re-
viewer to indicate agreement or dis
agreement with the views or actions OF
the subject of the biography at hand.
One can merely note there are many
people on each side Of many issues upon
which Mr.. Hughes had strong opinions
and took active. often aggressive part.
Mr. Pusey himself seems content in the
main, to let others debate the merits
of these matters; he states clearly and
carefully what Mr.. Hughes thought
and did about them.
Mr.. Pusey portrays man Of powerful
personality, strong intellect and high
character; lover Of rough and tumble
political battle: an aggressive defender
of peoples rights and interests; q
world statesman of vision and courage;
an administrator par excellence; a
Judge whose judgments rested upon
deep-seated foundations and were con-
structed with Unconditional objectivity;
but withal man who made mistakes,
who suffered bitter disappointments
who knew both physical and mental
depressions. Perhaps one thought the
author wished to leave vivid is reflected
in the story that when young lady
inquired of Mr.. Hughes whether she
should address him as Governor" "Mr.
Secretary or "Mr. Chief Justice" the
reply, with flash Of teeth through the
parted beard, was. "Those who love
