THE window of the Baroque Art
Gallery arrested strollers like a
riot of voodoo drums. The art dis
plays in metals, woods, and oils
were as tortured as a nightmare.
One oil painting, centered in the
show window, was identified by a
neatly inscribed card as'Teardrop
Through the Eye of a Needle. THE
artist was Eric Arents.
Jigger said thoughtfully, Arents
was frazzled when / confronted
him out here" He pulled Red TO-

Chafee participated. Professor
Chafee and his colleagues pro-
vided that penalties imposed on
the press must be clearly
defined by law" What socialist
or communist countries did Mrs
Roosevelt and her colleagues try
to appeaSe by allowing the press
to be penalized for vaguely de-
fined crimes?
The Sub-commission on which
Chafee served recommended that
the press might be penalized for
expressions which are obscene"
This proposal did not, of
course. weaken the First Amend

permit penalties to be imposed
whenever necessary to protect
morals" 1t requires no training

The scene now shifts to Wash
ington, d. c., and the year 1916
On May S,1946, Mrs Roosevelt
submitted to the Human Rights
commission document which
called for a sub-commission to
determine what rights, obligat-
ions, and practices should be
included In the concept, freedom
of information. The part played
by Alger Hiss and others in
the State Department in writing
these instructions and in securing
the appointment of Professor
Chafee as the American delegate
to the sub-commissi0n is describ-
cd in Prejudice and the Press"
by Frank Hughes, pages 406-409.
Professor Chafce then embarked
on his mission to write a uni
versal definition of liberty of
of the press. Btween the initial
and the final draft of the Coven-
on Human Rights, the United
Nations considered a seperate
treaty deceptively described as
the Convention on Freedom of
Information.
Several cf Professor Chafee's
recommendations were incorp
GRATED in the Convention on
Freedom of Information. This
Convention was concerned prim-
arily with the gathering and
international transmission of the
news. This convention, as approx
ed at a conference held in 194S
in Geneva would permit MEM
bers of the Convention to res
triet the flow of information
between nations in the interest
of maintaining national security
and of protecting the feelings
of nationals of a state. Penalties
were prescribed for the diSsem-
ination of false or distorted re-
ports which undermine friendly
relations between peoples or
states. This provision was appar-
emily accepted in response to
demands of the Soviet Union
which at the time was accusing
the American press of war
mongering. One of the American
delegates to the Geneva Confer
ence was Professor Chafee.

There are few of us who are

friendly Robin whose appear
ance each year on our front

ually one of the very first signs
Of Spring. We are familiar with
him, of course, but how much
do we really know about him?
While the Robin may do some
damage to fruit trees and veg
etable gardens, his constant war
against insects and other pests
makes him a valuable ally to
the farmer and the home gard
ener. In fact. in the North and
in some parts of the West the
Robin is one of the most cher
ished of our native birds and
is considered a welcome and
helpful visitor. IL L.
According to the National
Wildlife Federation, an organ
ization designed to preserve
Americas birds and wild ami
mails, the technical name for
the Robin is Turdus migrator-
ius. He feeds on many kinds of
insects with no particular pref
erence for any one type, al
though he is always happiest
when he has captured a good
sized earthWorm, which he will
either eat quickly himself or
carry home to his babies.

however, will not shoot the rob-

led a bad trait. Rather he will
cultivate in his orchard, or near
his fruit tree, small patches of
wild berries, which robins will
eat and enjoy just as well.
If the farmer does this, he
will tend to keep the Robin
from destroying his fruit trees,
and will have a we'll trained,

up many of the insects which

prove that this method works
