A young lady wishes to know II her
pet crow should drink gingerale.
She gave him some, and here is her
account Of the experience:
"I had glass Of gingerale. and ] gave
my crow little in q cup just to see what
he would do.
He took swallow and tried to tip
the cup over. He spilled little bit on
the ground. Then he took another taste.
'"This time he spread out his wings
and tail and started prancing around.
He stuck his beak in the gingerale and
rubbed it under his wing.
when I took the cup away. he came
right back to normal, but when gave
it back to him, he tried to take bath
in 1t.
Later we found him lying on the spot,
where he had spilled some Of 1t.

that OF cat to catnip.

him to give him gingerale again?"

Jet SeIf-DeIivery

The Air Force has developed an impressive
new plan for the speedy dispatch Of jet fighter
planes to Japan and Korea. Heretofore such
planes have had to be shipped out there most
Of the way by Navy carriers but now they have
begun to fly to that theater on their own.
AS revealed by the Air Force, three squadrons
of F-84 Thunderjets have put the new plan into
effect. It is plan that involves nonstop
flight from California to Hawaii and then island
hopping from there to the Far East. In effect,
with the help Of mid-air refueling, it delivers
the planes in matter Of hours instead Of the
days required by carrier shipment.
What this means, In the words Of Air Force
authorities is that our allied United Nations
forces In Korea can count on quick reserves Of
Jets In case of emergency. Considering the big
build-up of Communist planes in Manchuria the
development is at once timely and reaSsuring.

Mr.. Hoover Speaks

The strife-torn Republican convention found
a cause in which 1t could unite last night-a
deep and genuine affection for the elder states
man of the party. former President Hoover.
Probably no public tribute ever accorded Mr..
Hoover exceeded in warmth the spontaneous
demonstration that greeted his appearance on
the Chicago platform. It was the first real
ovation of this years session, an emotional high
note that found supporters of all the bitterly
contesting candidates snake-dancing saround the
convention hall in tribute to delighted and
grateful old man. To this extent and for that
hour, at least, Mr.. Hoover succeeded in bringing
to the party the harmony for which he had
appealed earlier in the day on his arrival in the
convention city.
As for the message which Mr.. Hoover brought
to the convention, billed in advance as "a New
Declaration of independence" it was an address
carefully prepared and well delivered. To
surprising degree, it contained the glittering
phrases that were lacking in the disappointingly
drab keynote address of the previous night by
General Macarthur.
In content however, 1t was for the most
part a composite of the well-known Hoover
feeling of antipathy for the New Deal and all
its works, attacked broadsde and without COM
promise. Once again he invoked his philosophy
of a Western Hemisphere Gibraltar with our
security to be intrusted to great striking force
of air power-a strategic concept that is shared
in substance by Senator Taft In what seemed
like a startling er-simpliication, the former
President argued that creation of such weapon
not only would supply our defense but would
halt the creeping fascism and socialism"
balance the budget cut our taxes and provide
practically every other answer to the problems
of our times
Although there were frequent Interruptions
for applause and another rousing ovation as MIR.
Hoover concluded, it is likely that the demon
strations of the evening were more in tribute
to the man than to the political prescription
which he was presenting.

Credit and Debit on Local Reform

j. Congress made two outstanding contribu-
tionS to the cause of governmental reorganization
in Greater Washington during the past session,
but failed to go far enough in this field OF reform
Offsetting the legislation to reorganize the
District government and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission was the shelving
of bills to create new system of public utility
regulation in the Metropolitan Area The utility
control proposal is too important to be permitted
to die. 1t should be revived at the next session
and pushed through to passage.
The No. / reform, from the Districts stand
point, was the approval of the Commissioners
sweeping program for putting the District
government on a more businesslike basis of
operation. This was no easy achievement, as
those who pitched in to fight drastic and ILL
advised Budget Bureau plan can verify. The
city heads first had to win this battle against the
Budget Bureau and then convince Congress that
their substitute plan should be approved. The
battle was not completely won, however. Con-
gress refused to appropriate 100000 asked by
the Commissioners for surveys and hiring Of
new personnel under the reorganization. Lack
Of this money will not prevent start on many
of the reforms, fortunately.
OF great regional interest was the creation
OF new overall agency to be known as the
Regional Planning Council, composed of repre-
sentatives of the District Maryland and Virginia
This council will be charged with co-ordinating
the planning activities of the established planning
and other governmental agencies within the
Washington Metropolitan Area The old NCPPC
will be succeeded by the National Capital
Planning Commission, which will handle planning
problems affecting the District of Columbia and
the Federal Government. This ard-looking
legislation had the support of all authorities
concerned with planning the development of
Washington and its environS. It will pave the
way for type of teamwork never before existing
in this faSt-groWing area.
Similar teamwork should prevail in the
public utility field. That was the objective Of
proposals for an interjurisdictional regulatory
agency to study and control rates and services
in the field of public transportation. One pro-
poSal was for an interstate compact to effect this
important reform Another, and the one finally
favored in committee circles at the Capitol, called
for congressional action alone-a much speedier
procedure. The longer compact plan would
require approval of the Maryland and Virginia
Legislatures, as well as Congress, but would have
the advantage of covering intraState suburban
transit operations in the Metropolitan Area, as
well as those crossing the District boundary.
Either plan, however, would be a big step toward
co-ordinated supervision and control of the
present unco-ordinated transit system serving
the Nations Capital and its suburbs. And either
in the regulation of taxicab operations in and
out of the District. Both plans have merits that
ought to be weighed carefully before a final
decision is made - preferably by the next
Congress.
