DARLINGTON, va.

ARLINGTON, Va.
Dear Sir:
"At home in Winchester this sum-
mer wren came every evening to nest
in the pocket of wool sweater hanging
on the line on the back porch.
He would scold noisily until every
body had left the porch before he got
in the pocket, but once there he didn't
seem to mind If you came and pulled
clothes off the line.
Gould it be Bewick'S wren, and why
should he choose such warm place in
August? It wasn't nest.
yours truly, K. w. r."
It probably was Carolina wren.
This species is much to given to this
sort of thing.
1t loves to seek shelter in awnings or
rolled screens of porches as fall comes
on.
The creatures Of the wild are much
more sensitive to seasonal changes than
we humans are.
They know when autumn comes far
ahead of the rest of us.
The Carolina wren is one of the largest
of the wren family, and one of the most
interesting.
The song is rolling in nature, very
loud, but sweet; 1t is always welcomed
BY bird watchers as something special.
Evening star., 1951-09-14
BY Charles E. Trocewen

The latter bubble all over the place
with their merry song, but the Carolina
wren sings right out, in an altogether
un-wrenlike way.
STILL he is very much of wren.
Where the house wren is 5 inches long,
the Carolina is 512 inches So is the
long tailed wren called the Bewick wren.
The Bewick wren, by the way, is noted
for its selection of odd nesting places.
1t has been known to nest in old shoes.
the arms of coats, tin cups etc.
The Carolina wren naturally likes to
nest in holloWs in trees, that is why it
may seek simple shelter in a sweater or
coat pocket.
Some listeners work up queer ideas
about this birds song. They think it
sounds as If the creature were saying
tea kettle" over and over, but we may
believe that this way Of putting it is sim
ply an effort to reproduce the rolling,
pin-wheel character of the song.
There is said to be wren in Florida,
even larger than the Carolina. It is sup
posed never to come North Of the Su-
vance River.
Fortunately, the Carolina wren has no
such ideas. He comes everywhere, and
sings heartily all summer and fall, and
sometimes even in winter.
If he investigates rolled UP awning
this fall, be sure he is looking for warm
place TO sleep during the cold season. .

Two-Woy Agreement Advisable

Commercial interests have been given assur-
ance by Federal officials that the proposed
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal parkway will not
interfere with industrial use of the Potomac
River. That should reduce opposition to the
project in Maryland. But the understanding
should be reciprocal. Maryland industry should
give assurance that commercial developments
along the river will not interfere with the park
way plans.
The C. and o. parkway is still only in the
planning stage with no funds yet appropriated
for the SIT million program. Under present con-
ditions there is little likelihood that the project
will progress beyond the planning stage for
some years. But now is the time to seek the CO.
operation of Maryland authorities and business
interests in preserving as much of the scenery
along the old canal as possible. Unless this is
done, the long-range plans for the scenic drive
along the river from Great Falls to Cumberland
will have to be substantially revised by the time
that actual construction becomes possible.
Evening star., 1951-09-14
This and That

All the members Of the group seek
shelter utterly aside from nesting.
AS for nests, these are put in the odd
est places.
Sometimes coat sleeve is utilized
Just as shelter, the coat pocket is good,
both in the summer and fall
Summer heat is a trivial matter to a
bird.
Their temperatures normally range
from about 103 degrees to Ill degrees,
according to the species.
It may be realized that mere matter
OF an outside temperature of 90 or even
100 degrees will make no dent in the bird
consciousness.
This is not only because of its own
high inner temperature, kept there by
nature as long as it gets plenty of food,
but also because of its feathers.
Feathers are marvellous adaptations
for the job in hand. They not only keep
water out and heat in, but they also let
heat out, If necessary.
In other words, they work both ways.
That is why the bird in the pocket did
not find it too warm, even on hot sum-
mer night.
1t had plenty of fresh air on the porch,
and found the wool pocket a sort of
blanket for cool night.
4
Carolina wrens are not such hipperty
fellows as our house wrens.

Walter Reed Centenary

One hundred years ago yesterday at Glouces-
ter, Virginia, Walter Reed was born. The anni-
versary celebrated at the little frame cottage
which was his first home 1t also was observed
appropriately at the great Army medical center
of which he never dreamed-the military hos
pital here in Washington which keeps his name
in current use. But these honors are only the
latest of many that his country has rejoiced to
pay to the leader of the successful fight against
yellow fever. He triumphed over one of the
worst of plaques. and America has not, failed to
be grateful for his achievement.
While yet Major Reed lived Harvard and
the University of Michigan complimented them
selves by compimenting him. Since his death,
November o. 1902, Congress has granted him
special gold medal; the Post Office Department
has issued stamp in tribute to him; New York
university has accepted him into its Hall of Fame
the Army Medical Museum has featured on one
of it's walls Dean CornwellS representation of
the drama at the Columbia Barracks in Cuba,
August 27 1900, when Dr. Jesse w. Lazear in
oculated DR.. James Carroll; and Walter Reed
Hospital has exhibited both a canvas and a
bronze portrait of Major Reed himself Less
formal but even more popular recognition has
come in the naming of schools and streets in
homage to "the microbe hunter" who defeated
yellow fever. His story has been told again and
again on the stage, in the movies, on radio and
television programs.
Each new generation thus takes Major Reed
into its own experience. Back Of the repeated
tributes is the indef1nable value known as char

acter. The conqueror Of yellow fever, as Paul de
Kruif has said was "the best of soldiers"-"a
blameless man, Christian man, and man
who was mad to help his fellow men," His son,
Major General Walter L. Reed U. S. A. Retired,
explained yesterday: 81 believe you best could
sum up my father by affirming that he was
motivated by passion to alleviate suffering"
Yellow fever was only one of Major Reeds in
terests. He also was a pioneer in the war against
malaria. diphtheria erysipelas, typhoid fever and
many other diseases. The breadth of his work
ought not to be forgotten

Exploring a Smelly Mess

1t is evident that the strange dealings of
Charles E. Nelson and his associates are going
to be thoroughly investigated Whatever angles
the District Grand Jury and a forthcoming
Prince Georges County Grand Jury may overlook
presumably will be covered by the Senate
authorized District crime inquiry Some over
tapping of Investigations is inevitable Care will
be needed to avoid conflict resulting from compe-
tition in the calling of witnesses and in the
search for evidence. If the simultaneous in
quirieS are conducted in spirit of cooperation
rather than of rivalry and Notwithstanding,
much good could come from the three-way
exploration of organized gambling in Washing
ton and vicinity
The activities of Nelson as hacker of what
has been described as a Sc million numbers racket
based in Prince Georges County and operating
in the District were first brought to light by
senatorial investigators. Testimony by Nelson,
So-called gentleman farmer and operator of
amusement enterprises, and by others during
the closing days of the Senate Crime Committee
hearings led United States Attorney Fay to call
Nelson and many other witnesses before the
District Grand Jury. The grand jury is said to
be particularly interested in reports of payoffs
to law enforcement officers for protection" The
fall grand jury in Prince Georges County is slated
to make its own investigation of alleged colluSion
between gamblers and county authorities
The whole smelly mess should be explored
from top to bottom regardless of jurisdiction
involved. The Senate, in appropriating $4,000
for an inquiry by the Senate District Committee,
undoubtedly felt that there are rami1cations of
the case which cannot well be checked on by
either of the grand jures That is true for the
criminal bodies are restricted by the statute of
limitations and by jurisdictional boundaries.
And it is in the public interest that all leads
in the Nelson case be followed searchingly and
conclusively.

Nehru's Victory in India

The personal political victory which Prime
Minister Nehru has won in India in establishing
his absolute control of the Congress Party would
seem to assure that country of continuance of
one-party rule through another period of its
young life. For while there are at least half
dozen other parties now qualified for particpa-
ton in the general elections scheduled to begin
in January, none of them singly or in any likely
form of collaboration appears to have sufficient
strength to threaten the Congress Party on more
than scattered local levels.
For India, this undoubtedly means continu-
ance as secular state, principle to which the
agnostic Prime Minister has been firmly devoted.
In a country containing such large and infuen-
tial religious factions the theory of secular form
of government appears to have substantial sound
ness It is hardly likely, however, that perpet-
uation of one-party political dominance will be
equally healthful in the long run.
To the Western world the particular signifi-
canoe of the Nehru victory is that it probably
means an extension of India's uncompromiSing
position on the explosive Kashmir dispute with
Pakistan and of the policies of so-called
neutralism as applied to the present struggle
between the Communist and non-C Communist
powers With all due allowance for the sincerity
of Mr.. Nehru and his deep personal convictions,
there are adequate grounds for feeling that his
conduct in each of these issues has not contrib
uted to the prospects for peace in the world.
In the light of the emerging political atmos-
phere in India our new ambassador designate,
Chester Bowles, will be facing hardened situa-
ton. The stakes are high in these times and
India'S behavior is certain to be an influence in
the course of future events not only in Asia but
probably throughout the world. 1t is grave
responsibility to intrust to one who is inexperi-
enced in the diplomatic field.

Votes for Eisenhower

Like one gentleman expressed himself
in your column Of September IL, Mr..
Truman, in his speech at the Japanese
Peace Treaty Conference, "did not speak
for any one in our house" either. 1t
is time for every one of us to speak
for ourselves in our own words, and
the only way to do this is,via the ballot
box.
Let us elect a President who will
save us from the inevitable chaos into
which we are sinking and sinking fast
Our taxes are going still higher, crime
and dope peddling are common every
day occurrence, our Government off,
cials are going wild in their spending.
Where will we all land? It actually
scares me to think about it.
I think Gen. Eisenhower, although
fundamentally not political man, has
a thorough military knowledge and is
the type of man we must have in the
White House as long as "war drums"
are forever sounding in our ears.
If the Republican Party can co-ordi-
nate and choose man with a good
military background, good sense and a
sincere feeling for the general public,
perhaps he, can lift our country out of
its quagmire. He will have a long, tough
row to hoe, but I'm sure that some
where there must be just the man
we need for our future President.
