Well, that is the time to become inter-

Fortunately for this marsupial, Mrs.
M. s. j. of Park avenue is reader OF
this column and knows that poSsums
are nothing to be afraid Of. She writes:
Like the chocolate in dish OF brick

to read This and That after digesting

Besides, I'm almost always reminded

"Once you wrote about the wren's un-
usual voice, and this is the story re-
membered:
"I always thought the wren sounded
like bubbling water, till 4-year-old
Jimmy from the Bronx visited us.
"All the big boys were in school. all
the little boys were taking maps. so
Jimmy was left to play by himself in
the yard
"He watched the wrenS pop in and
out of their house in the apple tree for
a while, and suddenly burst into tears
and ran to me for comfort. I asked the
little brown bird to play with me- sobbed
Jimmy, and he said Br-r-r-r-r!'
sJimmy's feelings were hurt, as
what well-brought-up Bronx boys

The Carpenter Collection

The Frank G. Carpenter collection of geo.
graphical photographs has been given to the
Library of Congress by his daughter Mrs
Frances Huntington. This means that one OF
the most important accumulations of its kind
ever made is to be preserved and made available
for the use of accredited scholars Indefinitely
It also signifies the creation of a memorial of
an appropriate sort to man who well deserved
remembrance. He was a journalist of distinc-
ton, Washington correspondent, who from
1888 onward until his death in China in 1924
was systematic world-traveler making geog-
raphy interesting" to all classes of people.
Mr.. Carpenters particular talent was a
capacity to write directly into the mind and the
heart of a reader. Small and frail himself he
nevertheless developed heroic spirit for ad-
venture. That spirit he managed to get into
the letters he sent back from the countries he
visited abroad In the SO years of his wander
ings he saw practically every portion of the
globe. What was more important was that he
could picture what he saw in words as well as
with camera. The Star was the first news
paper to publish his travel articles. They ap-
peared without interruption for 1900 week-ends.

This and That

"You wrote about the possum, and
remembered the one that appeared in
my sons sandbox recently.

hammering on the back door. "A funny
kitty is eating my sandwich he COM
planned.
He'd set his bread and jelly on the
edge of his sandbox. and, sure enough,
an animal was shifting at it.
"But it was no kitty!
EFT was fat and funny and gray, with a
pointed nose and a long, naked tail,
poking out behind like an old stick.
"Brer Possum was in no hurry to get
away, just ambled into the next yard
and disappeared under forsythia bush.
taking Ricky's sandwich with him!"
G. S. F. of Alton place writes:
"My wife and aresregular readers of
your column and enjoy it very much.
II have been reading Fifty Years a
Surgeon by DR.. Robert T. Morris (E. P.
Dutton, 1935).
Chapter % in an idyllic account of
his estate, Merribrooke, at Cos Cob, in
the eastern part Of Greenwich, Conn,
next to tract then owned by Thompson
Seton.
II am sure you will enjoy this chap
ter. which is quite different from the rest
Of the book. Perhaps you already know
it. The book is In the Public Library"
Evening star., 1951-04-05

Such q record never had been set before and
never has been equaled since.
Much of the material compiled by Mr.. Car
penter likewise was printed in book form. His
geographical readers were standard texts in the
Nations grammar schools for half century
until they were replaced by a more modern
series written by his daughter. The volumes he
created on how the world is fed and clothed and
housed were printed by the hundreds Of thou
sands, too
Mr.. Carpenter in effect made geography a
popular cultural asset. He understood the utility
of mass production in the educational field as
nobody had previously. The latter-day news
paper syndicates owe much to the example he
set. Among the files his daughter has given the
Library of Congress are clippings of his stories
from scores of outlets. Glancing over them, a
stranger instantly is impressed by the magic
of his narrative style. He was one Of the great
American authors of his generation, and 1t is
good to know that his Photographic archive is
not to be lost or scrapped.

Sacred Cows

Ohios Senator Bricker is right when he says
that our Federal judges are not sacred cows"
But Senator Bricker is making spectacle and
not very fattering spectacle, of himself when
he says that he wants to investigate the courts
because he is suspicious of the way in which they
have been releasing Communists on bail and ac-
quitting others accused of contempt of Con-
gress.
There is nothing sacred" about judge If
Senator Bricker has evidence that any of them
have been violating their oaths of office he would
be well within his rights in requesting impeach-
ment proceedings. But it is quite another matter
to attempt to coerce courts which, according to
the Senator have been "defying the Congress-"
If any one took the Senator seriously-and
there is no evidence that any one did-he would
do we'll to recall an earlier attempt to discipline
court which was accused of ignoring the popu-
lar will That effort took the form of an at
tempt to pack" the Supreme Court and it is
safe to assume that the voice of Senator Bricker
was heard throughout the length and breadth of
Ohio in opposition to it. He is now proposing to
accomplish essentially the same result by "in-
vestigating" the courts. The method is a little
less fortnight, little more devious but Sena-
tor Bricker should realize that the attempt is
Just as odious.

Dear Sir:
Last May wrote to you about a groun
OF cedar waxwings in the oak trees and
the holly trees in our neighborhood.
They returned yesterday. This time
they number nearer $50 than so.
i can see them more clearly this time.
since there are no leaves on the trees,
but, watch as may, I have not seen
them passing food from one to another.
"They seem to have pufiness at the
throat like full craw. Could this be
only huffiness of the feathers, controlled
by the bird as its crest is?
How beautiful they are!
"They perch SO close it seems they are
leaning on one another. Since you say
they move about constantly, hope many
more get to see them in Washington and
vicinity.
Very truly yours, "R. L. D."
There have been many reports of the
waxwings this spring, one coming from a
resident of Alexandria, who saw "thou-
sands" of them.
No more delightful birds visit us. They
are very fond of apple blossoms. The
Alexandria resident saw the birds shut
Ting worm down the line and thought
they were feeding each other. While this
is the basic reason, the proceeding looks
more like an inspection, as the beautiful
birds gravely hand the morsel from one
to another without eating 1t.

Safe Alternative to a Big Army

Chairman Vinson of the House Armed
Services Committee is right This country cannot
afford either the economic or military conse-
ouence of being without universal military train
ing in the threatening era which stretches ahead
into the indefinite future. A military training
system is necessary adjunct Of strong and
ready reserve program to back up the standing
army. With such system we can run the calcu-
lated risk of maintaining small regular defense
establishment, knowing that in an emergency
there will be trained manpower instantly avail
able to augment the standing armed forces.
Without an adequate trained reserve the only
safe plan would be to build up much larger
regular Army than is currently planned. There Is
a limit, however, to the defense burden which
our economy can support
The bill before the House differs from the
Senate-approved bill in several minor respects
and one major one. The House version would
reduce the present draft age Of 19 to 1872, while
the Senate bill would lower it to 18. Draft serv-
ice is heightened from q to 26 months as
compared with the Senate requirement for "a
months service. The House bill has no limit
on the number Of men who could be inducted,
whereas the Senate placed a 4-million limit on
military manpower. major difference between
the bills is that the House measure places
definite three-year limit on the drafting of men
for actual service. The Senate defeated
somewhat similar limitation proposed by Sen
ator Taft.
While the three-year time limit would be
restricted by the language of the House bill to
only that part of selective service which chan
neled men into the regular armed forces. leaving
UNIT unaffected, The Star believes it would be
mistake to raise any legal barrier to further in
duction of men in this unsettled period. Since
the program contemplated under the legislation
would involve tapering off of inductions for
active service it is not clear what Is to be gained
by setting deadline on further inductions. II,
as is hoped, conditions grow no worse than they
are today, or if they improve, inductions for ac-
tual service will have reached a minimum by
1854 or before, making statutory restrictions
more or less academic. If, on the other hand, the
world situation worsenS before 1854, 1t would be
foolhardy to place the induction system under
the handicap of deadline.
In any event, the House should take care to
see that any time limit which may be adopted
does not apply to universal military training.
UNIT is long-view security program that should
be set up on permanent basis. It should con-
tinue to supply reservoir of trained manpower
in time of peace as well as during emergency
periods The very existence of such q reservoir
would help to keep the peace.

itself a weakness worse than fear. A
patriotism so intense that it blinds us to

Bottle Club Blues

There is no reason why the bottle clubs
breeders of crime and gathering places for
criminals-cannot be put out of business in the
District. They will be put out of business if
Congress ratif1eS the action which has been
taken by the Davis subcommittee of the House
District Committee
These clubs have been enjoying kind of
charmed legal life Under existing law, it has
been difficult if not impossible to shut them up
and keep them closed.
Last Saturday man was shot to death In
one of these establishments at 606 street
Northwest. It opened originally as the Gold
Key Club, chartered in Maryland. After much
investigation and litigation, it was closed last
July by a District Court injunction. In Oc-
tober, however, new sign appeared on the door.
The Downtown Club, chartered in Virginia, was
doing business at the same old stand. Police
believed, but could not prove, that it was backed
by the same people who ran the Gold Key Club.
Actually, in the opinion of local officials,
1t is immaterial whether the bottle clubs are
chartered in the District or in State. In either
case, they cannot be curbed by controlling the
grant of charters, for if the application, on its
face, is in proper form the charter must be
issued. Once issued, charter cannot easily be
revoked. And even if one is revoked shady op-
orators can find means of getting another one
In fact it is quite conceivable that charter
is not necessary to open up bottle club APP
parently there is nothing in the law which
would prevent any individual or group from
simply hanging out sign and starting in
business.
device for plugging this legal loophole
has been worked out, however, by Corporation
Counsel West, collaborating with the United
States Attorney and the District Bar Association.
At the present time any place which sells liquor
must have license. Mr. West would broaden
this to provide that any establishment in which
liquor is consumed-in which any kind of IA
cility such as a setup is provided-must also
operate under license from the District gov
ernment.
This would hit the bottle clubs where it
hurts For if they obtained license they would
be subject to inspection at any time, and the
license would be revoked if the establishment
should be used for any immoral illegal or illegiti-
mate purpose This would not work hardship
on any legitimate club Such place could OBJ
tain license (most of them already are Ii
censed) or it could stop serving Setups and other
facilities for drinking. But the bottle clubs, as
they now operate, would almost certainly be
put out of business.
Chairman Davis subcommittee has decided
to incorporate Mr.. Vests proposal in the new
crime bill it will recommend for the District.
If Congress wants to get rid of the bottle clubs,
it need only see to it that the West proposal
becomes law.
