Toward Open Relief Rolls

Elimination from the pending District well
fare bill OF provision to insure secrecy of
relief rolls will correct a curious oversight by
the Commissioners. The measure as prepared
by the Welfare Department and approved by
the Commissioners contained a clause designed
to bar public inspection of public-assistance
records. After the press had revealed the exist
ence of this provision, the Commissioners by
2-to-1 vote proposed an amendment which
would have made the relief names available to
the public subject to proper limitations against
exploitation for commercial or political purposes.
The Senate District Committee has agreed
to eliminate the secrecy clause, but instead of
specifically providing for open rolls has recon-
mended that the question Of open or closed rolls
be left to the discretion of the Commissioners
What the final effect Of this plan would be, If
adopted, is uncertain. Commissioners Young
and Robinson are on record in favor of open
lists, but Commissioner Donohue is strongly
opposed. Mr.. Young is due to be succeeded soon
by Commissioner Designate Camalier, whose
attitude on the controversial matter is not
known. The Star hopes that he will side with
Commissioner Robinson and many others who
believe that the right of the citizens to know
how their money is being spent extends to the
field Of welfare as well as anywhere else

The story of M. S. A. abroad is plain

This and That

"And then came calamity" writes
D. T. S. of Webster street, speaking OF
moles.
1T wasn't the moles that ate the
tulip bulbs, so am told. it was the field
mice which had full run Of the tunnels"
It seems to be choice Of good lawn
or the moles. in some neighborhoods.
It is too bad, for there are few ami
mails more interesting.
They are pretty, too, If you catch one.
4
Moles eat so constantly. and so need
their food, that If they do not find 1t
for four hours, they die.
At least, that is the story.
Some persons think they have no
eyes, but they do, not fine open eyes
such as dogs have. but they couldn't.
of course, living in tunnels.
It is probably true that moles do not
themselves destroy bulbs and plants.
They live mostly on insects, worms ana
grubs.
Nor do they destroy too many worms.
as some claim. How could they? There
are not many moles, after all, and the
number of earthworms is legion.

worm out of its diggings and put it on
the map. much study has been made

other persons anxious to have good
gardens.
Finicky persons may not like to see
plenty Of worms around, but the gar
dener does, and so does the robin.
Now death comes to robins, and 1t is
believed to be due to worms in their
little insides. not angleworms, but per-
nicious tape and round worms.
Dogs and cats suffer from these, and
more often die from them than is
realized.
In particular, cats do die from worms.
especially in their first year, unless
treated properly.
Worming pet animals is not the SIM
pie Job some try to tell you. It needs
the gauging of the amount Of the
proper medicine to the weight and age
of the animal, and Is always best done
by an expert.
The mole leads a simple life, mostly
in the ground.
It does not like the light, and digs
deeper in winter. That is why it Is not
so much Of q problem then.

is nice and soft through rains, then up

that it lives in the soil.
Its feet are made as shovels, and 1t
can do a master job Of excavating, for
its size. This may not, of course, ap-
peal to the person who loves his lawn.
Today many persons suffer almost from
lawnmania. That is, they resent any
body or anything that helps destroy it.
Another culprit Is the locust.
Brood 8. as the scientists say, Is COM
ing up this spring. but not in and
around Washington, only in West Vir-
ginia and some other States.
Brood 10 is the one we are waiting
for.
And next spring Is the time!
Then Washington will have its return
Of the famous 17-year locusts. which
the city so intensely enjoyed in 1886.
It seems but yesterday since the roar
of the insects filled Brookeville road in
nearby Maryland.
Now the II years in the earth almost
has been fulfilled, and those interested
wait eagerly. Again some persons will
claim the grubs ruin trees and shrubs.
Actually, they do little damage.
There Is always something to be dis
pleased about. Now 1t is moles, and
next year it win be locusts. The better
way Is to like mples, and to love locusts.

Trickery With the Clock

We are required by our overlordS to
surrender one of the most valuable hours
of the day. an early morning hour filled
with duties many of which cannot well
be performed at any other time. This is
also an hour filled with enjoyment for
many of us as. with few Interruptions.
we tend our gardens and lawns. Unless
sufficient reason is given to justify this
sacrifice, our national lawmakers stand
accused of unjustly depriving us OF our
time; which is indeed taxation, since an
hour of time can certainly be valued in
terms of money.
Daylight Saving Time" illustrates
vividly the attractiveness and effective
ness of the false label. The most obvious
thing about it is that we rise an hour
early on an April morning and turn the
clock forward so as to lose that hour!
An hour chock-full of daylight and COOL
ness, most desirable hour. It is a popu-
lar fallacy that this hour is regained
about quitting time" in the afternoon.
Obviously, it is not. If we must accept
4:30 in the morning as $50. then we
must logically accept 4:30 in the after
noon as $50. The hour is still missing.
Do those of you who advocate this fall

that all you gain CD from it is an ex-
tension of light with its accompanying
heat) from about 8:15 in the evening to
9:15? That is all. And has it not always
been one of the hardships of summer
that daylight has continued too long into
the evening, even on Eastern Standard
Time? Why add to that torment? Nine
O'Clock is bedtime for early risers, and
that means going to bed by daylight
with no time whatever to cool of in the
twilight that Eastern Standard Time af-
fords. Is this sensible?
Let us depart from trickery in all
things in this country. We destroyed
food when people were hungry-in order
to feed them; we plowed under cotton
when people desperately needed cloth
ing-in order to clothe them; now we
obliterate a valuable morning hour at
the busiest season Of the year-in order
to save time.

Norway and Soviet Trade

At its recent international Economic Con-
ference" in Moscow, the Kremlin spared no
effort to depict itself as being full of good will
and an ardent desire to bring about a great
peace promoting trade revival between East and
West. This tune has since been played to fare
thee-well by the Soviet propaganda machine,
and more than few people in the free world
seem to have been slightly enchanted by it.
These naive ones ought to give little thought
to Norway;s experience, for nothing could better
illustrate the honowness of the Russian siren
song.
Thus even while the Russians were speak
ing so sweetly and reasonably at the gathering
in Moscow, they fatty rejected bid from Oslo
to work out a three-year Soviet-Norwegian trade
agreement for mutually helpful exchange OF
goods principally fish products and .grain-be-
tween the two countries. The rejection has now
been followed by counterproposal in which
the Kremlin has offered nothing but mere barter
arrangements that would last for only twelve
months. The offer, moreover, has been pre-
sented in haggling spirit on terms that Nor
way apparently regards as quite inequitable.
Norway of course, is not the only country
that can testify to the difficulties Of trying to
do business with the Soviet Union Sweden,
among others, has had sad experience along
the same line. The truth is that the men OF
the Kremlin, in commerce as in everything else,
are not fair or honest dealers. Their deeds
constantly belle their words. When they talk
about revving East-West trade, their real objec-
tive is simply to split the Atlantic Alliance and
wreck the embargo on shipments of strategic
materials needed for their war machine. In view
of the record, it is rather amazing that there
still are people gullible enough to think
otherwise.

Iran Moves Closer

Resumption of American military aid to Iran
on the basis of new pledges by the Teheran
government is at least step toward filling a
dangerous power vacuum which exists danger
ousy close to Russia.
The triumvirate of Greece, Turkey and Iran
has been considered an important entity in the
defensive alignment of nations opposed to Com
munist aggression. In many reSpects-militarily,
politically and cally--Iran is the weakest
of these three states. While this condition is
basic one and not of recent origin, it has wors-
ened during the past six months as result OF
the Anglo-Iranian impasse over the oil national
ization issue and the consequent termination of
petroleum production in Iran The country is
now living partly if not wholly, under martial
law. It's civil services have been dangerously
impaired, its economy undermined and its politi-
cal climate deeply disturbed. All of these cir
cumstances have contributed to the impairment
of Trans capacity to defend itself militarily, and
have increased in direct proportion the danger
of Soviet assault upon the nations independence.
For more than a decade, Iran has had
military bond with the United States in the
form Of an American training mission engaged
in the schooling and undermining Of the Iranian
army. When the cold war against communism
began to develop Iran was counted on the side
of the West; the training mission was expanded,
surplus American equipment and eventually,
Iran was allotted a share in the direct military
assistance offered to countries whose cause was
joined with our own.
The Mutual Security Act, present vehicle for
our military assistance program, requires that
recipients of this type of aid make formal
pledge of their intent to make full contribu-
ton, within their power, to their own defensive
strength and that of the free world. The emo
tons aroused by the oil crisis played large part
in the unwillingness of Premier Mossadegh to
voice such assurances last winter although the
official reason given was that jeopardy of Iranian
neutrality was implied. In any case, American
military aid was discontinued and valuable
months were lost in the strengthening of the
country.
The latest development follows period of
quiet but intensive negotiation. Premier Mos
sadegh has now forwarded an official declaration
welcoming resumption of American military aid,
affirming his country's support of the United
Nations, and promising to strengthen its defen-
sive possibilities and to resist any attack upon
its freedom and independence Although this
commitment is more broad than specific, it has
been deemed sufficient to qualify for renewed
American arms assistance.
Obviously this is only a new beginning in
making Iran strong and secure partner in the
Western community. 1t does, however, offer
encouragement that the hitherto uncompromis
ing Iranian Premier may be coming around to
more conciliatory temper toward those who are
prepared to be genuine friends of his country.
It would be further encouraging If he would
now display the same mood toward mutually
acceptable, and workable, resolution of the oil
issue.
