The Animal Kingdom

Now come POKER playing hens, wrestling pigs
and rabbits that read.
American craftsmanship has long been rec
ognized for it's ingenious qualities, capable of
inducing Eskimos to buy refrigerators and auto
mobile owners to buy squirrel tails. Hardly a
young man is now alive who doesn't eat cereals
that he probably does not like simply because
craftsmanship has placed him in an acquiescent
trance.
It seems, however, that the sale of livestock
feed is so highly competitive that more than
human ingenuity is required. One of the big
producers has turned to the ultimate consumer
the livestock, for selling assistance. Accordingly
the Wall Street Journal reports from Arkansas
that "barnyard academy" supervised by
psychologist who trained Government pigeons
in wartime, is now training chickens to play
poker, pigs to wrestle each other out of rings
and rabbits to spell out slogan favoring the
purchase of more Of a brand-name feed.
The farmers come from miles around, the
Journal reports, to view these wonders of sales
manship-and to buy more generously Of the
favored products. The next STEP no doubt, will
be organization Of the performers into an actors

1t is exactly this frosting. this true

music, but music which speaks to the

This is the music Of the folk tunes, the
hillybilly. the cowboy song, the plain
little waltz tunes beloved of everybody.

ally. this is musical poem of motion,

Have you ever listened to the spring
song of the white-throated sparrow?
1t, too, is simple. with q direct quality

Hawaiians had ever heard it, undoubtedly
they would have made q song Of their

Flying Soucers No Joke

At long last it seems to be dawning on
people that there is something to all
these reports of flying Sancers. Accord
ing to recent Journal Of the British
Interplanetary Society. this scientific
organization has now added Scully's
well-known book to their official library.
Another book by two well-known
"sighters" is about to roll off the press: it
is being privately printed and the re-
search on it Is said to have cost $4,000.
We continue to hear of more organized
private research on the subject. There
is the Saucer Review" compiled twice
yearly from New York There is Civilian
Saucer Investigations" out in Los An
geles. There are researchers in San Diego
who deal with "borderland sciences"
who have been harping on the subject
for years and who have recently come
up with some data and deductions that
would make a Hollywood thriller look
like SeaSick snail!
Two things are Self-evident: The
saucers or "SaucerianS" are friendly-to
date. Also, they far out-distance us in
their knowledge Of astronautics and
propulsion. But why are they In our
skies? They've been sightseeing" around
our planet for several years. Is there
something they want? Or something they
don't want? Serious researchers feel that
this sky phenomenon is in some way con-
nected with the use of our newly dis
covered atomic energy and cite much on
which to base their claims Are these

This and That

investigation Of a personal sort. such as
that Of our correspondent. will show that
most Of these tunes are good music
They are a blend of several civilizations
and at times lose little from it, but at
their best they manage to intrigue and
please. e..y,.
A typical personal musical history
shows the average person likes simple
songs, such as the better hillybilly
melodies, until he fails under the thrall
of "highbrow" music, such as SYM
phonies and the like.
Then he often inclines to frown upon
his old loves, regarding them thereafter
as scarcely worth listening to. In that
he is wrong. If the great Beethoven
found such folk music good, certainly
modern listener ought to enjoy it.
This is the secret. Music is wide, it
contains multitudes, it has within itself
both the complex and the simple, the
difficult and the easy; it has as many
moods as there are human beings, and
more, even, since every person changes
his moods not only from day to day, but
many times q day.
Music is basically emotional. It is
necessary to understand this, If q lis
tener, as distinguished from q performer,
is to get the most from his listening.
To absorb that ultimate snobbery, that
music Is primarily intellectual, and that,
therefore, no music is worth listening to
that Is not the result Of great intellec-
tual capacity.

would be the basic problem of dangerous
congestion at the present National Air
port" You call it urgent" and con-
clude that "The questions involved are
too serious to be decided on a dollar
saving basis or in modification of sec
tional interests"
It would be interesting to know the
basis on which your paper, along with
the other Washington papers and the
c. A. A., in 1887 and 1888 fought against
the Camp Springs airport bills in Con-
gress. and urged the establishment, in
stead, OF the Gravelly Point site-the
present Washington National Airport.
You have since characterized the Camp
Springs site-Andrews Field-as the best
airport in the world, I believe, and it is
rather well recognized that had those
bills passed, Washington would now have
no airport problem.
The point wish to make is that since
you and the c. A. A. gave Congress such
bad advice in those days, it is not re-
markable that its members cannot trust
the Judgment of either of you at this
time.

Editors note: The Gravelly Point
site was recommended as early as 1926
by the Office of Army Engineers and the
Aero Club Of Washington and was Sc
lected by the Civil AeronauticS Authority
in 1888 latter an exhaustive survey of
the entire Washington area. as the most

demanding retention Of the veto and immediate
outlawry Of A-weapons.
Such plan" of course, is not plan but
mockery. For there can be no real atomic control
as long as any country has right to veto the
policing operations Further, to ask that A
weapons be banned at once-before there is
even semblance of regulatory guarantees-is
to ask that the free world, in exchange for
nothing, disarm itself of its main present pro-
lection against aggression. The men of the
Kremlin undoubtedly are well aware of all this,
but they nevertheless keep on demanding the
acceptance of their phony bill of goods. The
demand is a fair measure Of their sincerity.
They are not interested in ending the disarma-
ment deadlock; they are interested merely in
making propaganda.

Mccarthy vs.. baltimore

Regardless of who supports Senator
Mccarthy in his attacks on Owen Latti-
more. his opposition will never admit
that Senator Mccarthy is right. They
go right along smearing him and any
one who agrees with the distinguished
Senator from Wisconsin.
For example. Kathryn ONeill states
that I distorted the facts" when I
wrote that recent events have pretty
much substantiated Senator McCarthy's
charges against baltimore.
Miss O'Neill stated that the New York
Times did not state. as I had written,
that Senator McCarran's statement was
along the Mccarthy line as to baltimore.
This is what the New York Times did
say on March %: I'm his summation,

Senators Kefuuver and DouoIos

The independently organized political band
wagon of TenneSsees Senator Kefauver, rolling
along rather impressively in recent weeks, re-
ceived a friendly and helpful push yesterday
in its Endorsement by Senator Douglas of illinois,
The Illinois Senator himself has often been
mentioned as Democratic presidential timber
And when Governor Stevenson of the same
State bowed formally out of the race renewed
interest in the Senator's availability Immediately
became apparent. His reaction was prompt
telegram of support for the Tennessean.
BY itself, the Douglas influence might not
be an over-powerful factor in Mr.. Kefauvers
drive for the party nomination. There is, how
ever, significance in their collaboration which
bears particularly upon this years contest. In
sense, both of these Senators represent a
younger element in party which has been in
power overly long and has been dominated in
increasing degree by an old guard of organiza-
ton people. There is ample evidence that the
voting public today is seeking some fresh faces.
some new leadership. Senator Douglas acknowl-
edged that very evidence in his telegram to his
Tennessee colleague when he said: Some of the
politicians bureaucrats and kingmakerS may not
like you. because they know they cannot control
you. But the people speaking through the
several party primaries in which Senator Ke-
fauver has recorded strong public favor are
for you. Let the voice of the people be heard"
It has indeed been voice which the Demo-
cratic Party cannot afford to ignore. The fact
that the Kefauver candidacy has been unop-
posed in several primaries does not by any means
disprove its popularity. There Is good reason to
believe, In fact, that the boom for Governor
Stevenson was grounded in an awareness by
party organization chieftains that their greatest
hope OF retaining Democratic administration
was in offering presidential candidate who
represented new blood. There are signs now
that their next choice after Governor Stevenson
is Averell Hartman, although his long and
close association with the administration places
him somewhere between the new and the old
as political figure.
Meanwhile, Senator Kefauver, entered In
several more important primaries, is in A SPOT
where his candidacy and the mood it represents
must be taken with utmost seriousness by the
party leaders.
