presidential campaign, 1t is time
for a change" but this is not the
same thing as saying that we need
a Republican President. There is
nothing happening to suggest that
this country's welfare could be
safeguarded by merely changing
from a Democratic To a Republi-
can president.
After all, the mere presence of
president does not in itself spell
the difference between success or
failure in the national economy.
In l94S we elected a Democratic
president with the right point of
view and yet it is difficult to inn
agine a more deplorable political
debacle than that In which we
find ourselves.
The Dixiecrnts who could not
defeat Truman at the polls have
succeeded In defeating him In
congress. Truman Is IA defeated
man. politically speaking, and
the DiNiecrats have won the
1913 election In one of the most
astounding Victories of modern
political history.
The cause of Negro advance.
mcnt has suffered, accordingly, a
serious setback, albeit we have
made some gains The Negro finds
himself handicapped by having
his presidential choice hamstrung
in IA way that he cannot get any
thing done. He is at the mercy OF
a Dixiecrat-Republican coalition
which TO all intents and purposes
has said, The Negro shall not
pass"
This does not mean that our
cause is a total loss but il does
mean that politically the country
is pretty definitely committed To
throwing the Negro for loss.
The Supreme court decisions have
seemingly Infatuated the anti-Ne-
gro forces in this country, and
they are out to throw the Negro
for another loss.
However nobly inclined Tru-
man may be, he simply cannot
carry the whole load of Negro
advance by himself, and he must
not be blamed for what Is trans
piring. The same thing would
happen under any other presi-
dent. The whole situation adds
up to the solemn conclusions
that the dlNiecrats pharoahs
have decided that they win not
let the Negro go!
This brings us to the question
of Eisenhowers candidacy. We
said some months ago that Essen
hover did not ring true on the
Negro question. This conclusion
stemmed from a statement he
made many months ago which
this writer construed as a bid for
the political support OF the Dixie
Gratis and their sympsthizers.
When Gen. Eisenhower stated
in one OF his speeches that better
race relations cannot be legislated,
this writer was convinced that he
was throwing a sop to the anti
Negro elements In this country,
notably the diNiecrats and their
sympathizers. Now that the Gen
erals hat is in the ring, II is Just
as well that the Negro appraise
the political situation.

offers nothing TO Negroes. This

lodging, food and playground to them.
Building operations through this whole
section have extended for many miles.
and though efforts have been made to
conserve trees, hundreds of them have
been removed through necessity.
Gradually, this loss is being felt. as
the birds remain farther and farther
out toward the wooded places.
In our own neighborhood, this year
has witnessed great reduction in the
number of wood thrushes, distinct
loss. After one gets the melody of this
song in ones ears, spring will never be
quite the same without it.
Several things can be done. however.
One is to put out food even though the
birds do not come. Second, plant dog
woods and other small trees. Most
birds love the dogwoods and the small
cherry trees. Plant berried shrubs. even
raspberries. See to it that old ANIMALS
and their seeds are left in the garden
over winter. And be sure to have one
or more bird baths-and keep them
filled.

birds around. Their human friends can

Sometimes the roots tear up water pipes

But building is the primary reason

where trees go, birds finally fail to

This is a long time proposition, of
course. No matter how many trees must
be cut down, at first the birds come
just the same as ever.
AT one time, about 1890, Montgomery
County, Md, was regarded as having
the greatest bird concentration in the
United States.
Then, with the years, the county home

as the houses went up, the birds began

/ AMES c. HAGERTY, President-elect
a newcomer to Washington, but he is
no stranger to the newsmen with whom
he will work here.
AS press secretary to the Republican
nominees in the last three presidential
campaigns, Jim Hagerty has become
as well known to the Washington news
paper corps as though he had grown
up here.
His appointment to be the link be-
tween the new President and the press
Is a popular one because newspapermen
who have campaigned with him know
he understands their problems and tries
to solve them.
He has argued with traffic cops from
coast to coast to prevent them from
pushing the press buses so far back in
political parades that reporters couldn't
see what kind of reception the candidate
was getting from the crowds.
Usually the cars trying to move up
near the front of the procession were
filled with local "VIPs." Naturally, the
police were reluctant to wave back
prominent hometown citizens. But
Mr.. Hagerty, standing in the open door
OF his press bus, never gave up easily
and more often than not he won
the argument.
This was not a major issue, but it
reflected Jim Hagerty's conception of
his job.
The ambidextrous group of stenog-

speeches provides another illustration
