Dear Sir:
"Caruso. so called, young mocking-

They have been here q month, both
having fallen from their nests.
"A sixth grade boy brought the robin
into my schoolroom one morning after

wet and sad looking There was no
sign Of parents or nest.
I'VE placed him in small cage and
fed him warm bread and milk, which
he gobbled up as fast as we could put
1t down his throat. He has badly de-
formed feet but manages to hobble
about.
He is now on diet Of raw hamburg

He is very neat, and carefully preens
his feathers and pecks at his twisted
feet. Are many birds born with deformed
feet. and is it true that the parents push
such birds from the nest?

Trade and Our Allies

There is need for the kind Of special study
that the President has ordered to determine the
wisdom or unwisdom Of American policies in the
deld Of international trade-particularly as
regards Western Europe.
When the Marshall Plan was first drafted
more than four years ago, one Of its major long
range objectives was to revive and increase the
prewar flow Of exports and imports between
Eastern Europe and Western Europe. The objec-
tive was based mainly on two sound premises:
tD That the free European nations needed such
steppedup trade in order to reduce their reliance
on supply sources where purchases could be made
only with dollarS-a scarce medium of exchange
in all those countries And (2) that the
continent as a whole, including the Soviet side,
would be extremely hard put to prosper and
achieve enduring economic stability unless and
until it restored its normal traditional pattern Of
commerce.
But the Soviet Union, by refusing to Coop
crate in the Marshall Plan and by doing every
thing possible to wreck it, choked OF all progress
toward an East-West trade revival. In addition,
by intensifying the cold war and by making it
hot in Korea the men of the Kremln brought
about in our Congress adoption of the 1851 Battle
Act-an abnormal but nonetheless wise and
necessary piece Of legislation under which
American economic and military aid can be cut
OF from any Of our Allies shipping strategic goods
to Russia or it's satellites. AS result, despite
big increase in the continents population, the
volume of exports and imports flowing between
the two halves Of divided Europe amounts today
to not much more than third Of what it was in
the year 1939-a completely unnatural situation
stemming primarily from the Stain relationships
malevolent policies.
In these circumstances, the problem for
the Western Europeans has been to work out
new pattern Of international trade. With the
help of the now-ended Marshall Plan, they have
staged remarkable industrial and agricultural
recovery and the economic and military aid Of
the Mutual Security Program has enabled them
to take on the heavy new defense burdens created
by the threat Of Red aggression. But they must
still rely heavily, because Of the relatively
stagnant state of commerce with the East, on
supply sources that call for payment In dollars
sources that are chiefly American. Accordingly.
short Of receiving outright grants or borrowing
from us, they must earn the needed exchange by
selling their goods to us. This job, however, Is
not an easy one. On the contrary, it has been
growing increasingly dif1cult because Of recent
additional restrictions on imports into our
country.
These restrictions designed to protect our
domestic producers are aimed at such things
as Swiss watches and Danish cheeses. a6fne Of

To Be or Not to Be a City?

Arlington County's recurring question Of
whether or not to incorporate as a city Is headed
for decision at the polls in November. It is a
question that has been debated sporadically for
more than decade-in fact ever since Arlington
has grown into city in appearance, in popu-
latton and in economic and governmental
Importance. The petition to the Circuit Court
for referendum on the issue is sure to provoke
another round Of controversy, for the question
remains highly arguable one across the
Potomac.
There are advantages and disadvantages to
such change In status The disadvantages in
the past have been such as to defeat proposals
for Incorporation. And the inescapable fact is
shat some OF the advantages once claimed for the
change have been gained without incorporation.
The arguments for making Arlington a city
thus have lost some of their force since the plan
first was given serious consideration back in
1912
In those days the pro-incorporation enthu-
siasts argued that by becoming city Arlington
would have the right to levy various municipal
SaxeS such as professional and trade licenses,
automobile tags and the like. But subsequently,
as result of a series of acts by the General
Assembly under sponsorship of the Arlington
delegation, the county has obtained most of these
taxing powers About the only major municipal
power which Arlington now lacks Is the right
to annex territory from its neighbor, Fairfax
County. And an effort was made by Arlington
to obtain this authority at the past session of the
Legislature without success due to the vigorous
opposition of Fairfax County.
Fairfax representatives pointed out at Rich
mond that Arlington County was trying to "have
its cake and eat it, too"-was seeking to obtain all
the advantages Of being city without suffering
any Of the disadvantages. And there was sub
stance to this charge. For it is no secret that
the chief reason for Arlingtons reluctance in the
past to become city in fact as well as fancy
was the unwelcome prospect of losing substantial
State benefits not available to Virginia cities
For example, if Arlington were a city it would
stand to lose approximately $500,000 in State
aid for highways. The expense of city attorney
would be added to the payrolls And a city coun-
ell could borrow without consent of the voters
under certain conditions.
All of these issues are involved in decision
on the Incorporation question. They are issues
that should be fully explained to the voters before
the referendum is held. 1t would be unfortunate
H. because of the vacation season, the national
political campaigns and other distracting mat
tiers, the citizens Of Arlington were to vote on
the important to-be-or-not- o-be-a-city question
without being fully Informed on the advantages
and disadvantages Of incorporation.

them may be defensible, but the fact remains
that they tend to make it harder than ever for
Western Europe to earn enough dollars to support
itself. In short, as the President has declared,
they may actually be working "at cross purposes
with the basic objectives of the Mutual Security
Program to achieve economic strength and
solvency among the free nations" Further than
that, to the extent that they deny marketing
outlets to our Allies, they can weaken the COM
mon effort against shipping strategic goods to
the Soviets
The investigation called for by the President
is therefore a timely once. If it discloses that
real damage is being done, the next Congress
should take whatever corrective action is
necessary.

The Governors Influence

one OF the lessons OF the RepuDllcan conVen-
ton that was not lost upon the Democrats,
particularly those managing one or another Of
the numerous presidential aspirants was the
important o1-stage role played by rs Republican
Governors.
Meeting in Governors conference in Hous-
ton the Republican group seized upon the issue Of
the contested Southern delegations to send q
strongly worded reminder to the Chicago con-
vention that the q. o. p. must 60 into the
campaign with "clean hands," It was clearly an
expression of support for the Eisenhower position
as against the Taft position in that particular
issue and was easily broadened in its interpre-
tation to mean an actual preference as to
candidates. To the uncommitted or wavering
delegates it was a convincing argument by the
Eisenhower managers that solid front OF
Republican Governors, in ideal position to Judge
the wishes and the temper Of the voting public,
should reveal such preference. Without doubt
it was one Of the decisive factors in the Eisen-
hover victory.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Demo-
cratic strategists are seeking similar point on
which to crystalline gubernatorial grass roots
opinion in behalf of one candidate or another.
The Kefauver camp, for example, already in
the leadership as far as committed delegates 60,
is seeking to rally the Democratic Governors in
OQQOSlClOu 10 a DOSScQ COuVcutIOu -IHcdiuS
the type of convention that is most unlikely to
nominate Senator Kefauver. The Senator's
personal friend, Governor Browning of Tennessee,
who is also chairman of his States convention
delegation, is carrying the ball on this play and
has sent imploring kilograms to the 20 other
Democratic Governors.
A second example Is found in the effort of
the Stevenson for President Organization to
work up a gubernatorial draft movement for
Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson. Governor
Schricker of Indiana is reported to be one Of the
early supporters Of this maneuver.
complicating element in the Democratic
case, of course, is the fact that the currently
wide-open qualities Of the party contest leave
several of the Democratic Governors hopefully
available as dark-horse prospects for either the
first or second positions on the ticket q circum
stance that might temper their willingness to
make unequivocal commitments on behalf Of
somebody else. Among those who have been
mentioned or might like to be, are Massachusetts,
Governor Dever, the convention keynoter;
Mchigans Governor Williams, Ohios Governor
Lausche, and Texas Governor Shivers.
While this makes less likely a single
unanimous pronouncement by the Democratic
Governors on behalf of any one candidate or even
any one issue, it is fair assumption that they
were properly impressed by the influence of their
Republican colleagues and that they will make
their views and preferences known emphatically
individually If not collectively-in the forth
coming Democratic sessions.

just for q change let's hear something
nice about the Capital Transit Co.
This is story about two Of the men
who work for it.
One hot daysI was riding home on q
17th & Pennsylvania Sc. car in the seat
directly behind the driver. As we went
down Seventh street NV. he asked
me politely If would mind NOV
ing to another place as there
was a blind man and his dog
who would board the car at the next
stop. OF course, cooperated and noted
with pleasure the CHEEKY manner in
which the conductor greeted his new
passenger. helping him up the steps and
seeing that the faithful dog was slowed
away in the safe corner behind the
driver. where he could neither bother nor
be bothered by other passengers. (This
was rush hour.)
At the terminus, Barney Circle. our
driver waited until the car was empty,
then helped the man over to his bus
stop. At this point the dispatcher took
charge. and superintended the boarding
Of the bus s<ahead Of the pushing crowd.
The whole episode was conducted with
much kindness and understanding by
these two busy and harassed men. It
made me grateful to have my two good
eyes with which to observe such kind
liness; and also improved my opinion Of
the Capital Transit Co. It has some
fine people working for it.

Hutchinson's, so Byrd fought back just
that much harder. What would be said
of him If he had not?
Senator Byrd's greater majority over
Miller would seem to indicate two
things: Mr.. Miller has deprecated his
own stock in the eyes Of Virginians. and
Senator Byrd's stock has risen greatly
as he has continued to personify Vir-
ginia in his opposition to the ills and
errors Of the national administration.
And Byrd does personify Virginia.
