Dan McCarty's supporters at
Tallahassee brought him into town
at the head of a motorcade of
more than $50 cars (by count Of
reporters in the Capitol press
room as 1t moved past the front
of the statehouse).
The McCarty people were avow-
edly out to beat the reception given
Alto Adams when he spoke at the
Capitol. All observers agreed there
were more cars and more people
but no airplanes like the five
that flew over to greet Adams.
Adams supporters in Dade and
Broward Counties have a band

for today. A hundred and one wom-
en- supporters of the candidate in
Dade County have invited some
1000 friends and neighbors to drop
in for parties this morning and
afternoon to visit--and listen to
Adams speak over the radio.
Bradley Oldham, the other major
candidate, is repeating his short
radio talkathons daily in the small

This and That

The paper points out that their east
ern boundary in Britain is shown to
have remained unchanged, the spread
being all to the west.
"It has been suggested that the gray
squirrels here are almost certainly de-
Scendants Of stock from the eastern
States of America, where the sea pre-
vents expansion to the east"
This is q nice theory, but probably
food conditions have more to do with it..
There can be little question that Eng
lands gray squirrels Git is gray" over

might be q good thing to send them
all back here. We need them.
It seems as II the natural controls,
such as hawks, foxes and so on, are not
in such SUFFICIENT numbers over there
to control" them.
It Is the same way with starlings here.
Rocks and other larger birds in Eng
land like starting pot pie. and so keep
the birds down, whereas in this country
our native hawks seem rather afraid Of
them. or maybe the starting is just too
smart for hawks.
It is seldom that a starting is caught.

From Arlington road, Bethesda (now
they ought to have Bethesda road.
Arlington, to thoroughly mix things up)
comes the following note about an old
friend:

this piece from the London Times.
IT wonder how many cat-haters think
the gray squirrel great stuff?
Seems odd that they leave the east
Of England alone.
Sincerely, L. S."
Our gray squirrel was taken to Eng
land many years ago, and has sue
ceeded in making great pest out OF
itself there.
They furnish one Of the best ex-
amples Of good beast in the wrong
place.
In England the gray specimens seem
to have taken the same place the red
ones have here: that is, they have
changed to great enemies Of birds. Hence
the British, who love their birds. have
no use for this American animal.
Even those who hate it, however. have
given up all ideas Of being able to do
anything about it.
This is another instance Of trans
planted animals and birds becoming
nuisances about which little can be done.
Instance, the starting in this country.

''Grey squirrels (the English insist
on spelling it that way) are increasing

The Garden Show !.

Another of the flower and garden shows
which have proved their popularity in the
Washington area has just closed. Certainly the
thousands of people who have visited the dis
play at the National Guard Armory were well
rewarded for the time and effort involved in
their attendance. The Star joins with what
must be the hope Of all of them that there
will be no break in the continuity Of this SERIES
It is heartening thing about the human
character that there is something about garden
that appeals almost universally. Fortunately,
the appeal is not measured in direct proportion
either to ones opportunity or ones expertness
for gardening. Indeed, the man who struggles
with Indifferent success to grow something in
plot of infexible restrictions is likely to be the
most enthusiastic Of all the gardening addicts
"a garden" said Ralph Waldo Emerson once,
els like those pernicious machineries which catch
a mans coat-skirt or his hand and draw In his
arm, his leg, and his whole body to irresistible
destruction"
We feel that Mr.. Emerson was not using
the word destruction in its most literal sense
In other respects we not only agree with his
pronouncement, we plead guilty to having been
so caught.

The meeting Of his opposite numbers in
other Jurisdictions was admittedly called
on hunch. The hunch was that his
guests would be just as enthusiastic as
he was about the idea Of permanent
council Of area brass. He was pleasantly
SURPRISED when the meeting gave him
formal green light to get the council
under way.
It should be clearly understood that,
whatever it may accomplish. the council
in no way adds up to unified super
government for the whole area. Any
such proposal, at least at this stage,
would be out of the question. AS under
stood by every one at the meeting, the
idea was that the council should serve
merely as a sort of area town-meeting.
It's functions would be entirely advisory,
with no one bound to go along with its
decisions.
This is not to, say. however, that 1t will
necessarily be ineffective. It's sponsors
feel that simply in the exchange Of ideas
the solution Of many problems will be-
come clearer to all parties. It is note-
worthy that Commissioner Donohue
siezed the opportunity at the meeting
to underscore the impotence Of the Dis
trict in matters where political pressure
is helpful. He used the illustration Of

cardinal as target. on account OF its
bull's-eye brilliancy.
Today the Cardinal is so universally
loved that no persons over IL years old
would shoot one.
Our gray squirrel may be a pest in
England, as occasionally he is here, but
in the main he Is an adornment Of sub
urban living.
At times he becomes a nuisance. but
even then should not be killed. A bet
ter way is to trap them and take them
to the woods and release them. They
help in natures balance, and should
never be destroyed. Besides, they are
too interesting and beautiful to be add
ed to today's slaughter. Few animals
seem to have greater sense Of fun.
This is not all the result Of its quick
movements, the cute way 1t eats with
its front paws. or its fine silhouette.
No. there is something added to this
creature, and it is Just the thing we all
prize so highly, good sense Of humor.
Among the beasts the gray squirrel
stands supreme as humoriSt, as the
blue Jay among birds. Here are two
living things we all need help us

sary in hard times. Yes, these are hard
times, not so much so in money. per-

Sometimes, even in a democracy, all
groups are not measured by the same
yardstick When the new congressional
retirement system was put into opera
ton (1946) every one was very "hush-
hush" about the matter. There was
deadline for filing applications, and
those members of the 10th Congress who
did. not seek reelection, or who were
defeated, were also eligible for pensions,
provided they had served five years and
had reached age 81.
Through q slip, the first list Of 1873
members and 43 former members. who
had applied for pension, was re.
leased for publication. A storm Of pro-
test came from the Hill. It must have
been quite embarrassing for some mem
bers, who had fought decent national
old-age pension for our senior citizens,
to see their names publicized In that
first list of pension applicants.
A veil Of secrecy Immediately shrouded
all further publicity. and the Civil Serv-
ice Commission said it was bound by

ficiaries. The taxpayers had perfect

liberal Federal pensions.

answer to the problem of caring for

Amateur Orchestros'

The Star is to be congratulated for the
discernment shown In its' March 2 edi-,
toriai. Amateur Orchestras in Wash
Ing" Incalcuable is the encouragement
given to the members Of these groups to
strive to perfect their work by your
knowledgable statement that "Eventu-
ally, Metropolitan Washington should
be destined to achieve as great degree
Of musical maturity as New York and
Boston. The great orchestras Of those
cities, 1t should be remembered, COM
menced with intelligent amateurism."
A great many factors contribute toathe
making of intelligent amateurism" in
the arts, but certainly one Of the major
factors is the kind of intelligent commu-
nifty support given Washington's anna
teur orchestras by The Star.
The quality of performance Of these
orcheStras, unfortunately, is not matched
in the field Of local amateur theater
productions except at some of the uni
versities in this area. One would be
foolish to expect cultural development
in all the arts to proceed at the same
rate
The Board of Trades Cultural Devel-
opment Committee has an unparalleled
opportunity during its forthcoming
Theater Week, starting March Is, to
bring forward for discussion an inte-
grated plan for the development Of an
amateur theater program which will
rival in quality the work Of our amateur
orchestraS.
It is true, is 1t not. that intelligent
amateuriam should operate in the field
of drama, as well as music. toward the
desirable end Of the city's cultural ma
turity?

Seldom in American politics has there
been a subject about which convictions
have been so firm and emotions less con-
trolled than that Of recent developments
in China. At the same time. seldom have
those who argued the subject been SO
ignorant of the facts. It is this very
ignorance, I am convinced, that makes
the argument so opinionated and so
heated. II.
My suggestion to Veritas Is that If he
would really continue to use that pen
