Dear Sir:

PAL1SADE LANE.
Dear Sir:
There are not as many red berries
now on our dogwood tree as there were
a month ago. But there are more red
berries on our dogwood tree than any
other dogwood tree in the neighbor-
hood.
'The explanation of the berries on
our dogwood tree is mockingbird. That
bird decided early this fall, when the
berries had formed and were properly
colored, to use this tree as his personal
pantry His decision has cost him a
continuing battle. But he has won
every one Of them. Those berries belong
to him.
Perhaps his biggest battle was with
the starlings. Coming back down town
from their day in the country in the
late. afternoon. these starlings would
see the berries from above. The lead
er Of the gang would make quick
turn, then the whole flock would dive
on the tree.
If it hadn't been for the mocking-
bird. the starlings would have cleaned
every berry of that tree in 10 minutes.
I've seen them do it to other dogwood
trees. But not our tree! The mocker
would be in there fighting before the
first Startling landed. making it so un-
comfortable that the flock would give up
and take OF with many profane re-
marks about the mockingbird. The
latter would lose q few berries but he al-
ways won the battle.

the Ninth, Symphony. A woman sings
these wonderful ethereal strains,
woman buried deep down in the obscure
depths of mans soul. There is a
tenderness and softness and q radiant
delicacy interfused in this music that is
entirely foreign to the male part of
man. Almost the same may be said for
the slow movement Of the Fourth Sym

woman composing the Fifth Symphony.
which Is the toughest masculinity
through and through.
Brahms also is a case in point. He
was certainly the rugged type. Yet his

ankind in singing a baby to sleep.
And Tschaikowsky: His Sixth SYM
phony is proof to the most incredulous
that there is something palpable in the
thesis that a woman's tears can pour
from the eyes of man.
However, a difficult part Of the thesis
is this: Why is the situation never re-
versed? Women can not write mascu-
line music, nor feminine, nor any other
kind. The creation of great music Is
absolutely foreign to the female SEX
Could it be that the Old Testament
is not altogether fantastic when it tells
of woman being made out Of a mans
rib? Could it be that this account con-
tains symbolism that we have failed
to interpret biologically? This is inter-
esting, to say the least.

'But his continuing war has been
with the blue jay. He had three Of
them on his hands. One would engage
the mockingbird, while the other two
worked on the berries. At least that
was the strategy. But 1t never worked.
For that mockingbird could keep three
jays so tied up fighting him off that
they choked on their berries and they
finally quit. too, and gave it up as a
bad job. And now, as far as can see,
no other bird dares land in that dog
wood tree.
"The mockingbird is frugal. He lands
in the tree several times q day, eats
three or four berries. then flies away.
He is not pig about the berries. They
belong to him and he Is making them

This Is an accurate account Of the
natural warfare that goes among the

It is all for food and seldom results in
casualties.
It reminds one of the continuing war

A Brief Forever

Four years and not quite eight months ago,
with total of six matrimonial failures behind
them, Lana Turner and Bob Topping were mar
ried in Beverly Hills, California reporter gave
this paraphrased description of the scene:
When the ceremony was over, Lana cried
out: Il did it, did it." The guests sampled
champagne, caviar, roast pheasant, smoked SAL
mon and six-pound Holsters flown in from Bos-
ton. A huge ham was inscribed, HE Loves Me-"
and table across the way was adorned with
roast of beef bearing the legend: II Love You"
When the festivities were over the bridegroom
turned to his bride and said: "This Is Forever"
In resronse or so the story went, Lana nodded
her Cinum gold curls, smiled ecstattcally, and
whispered: Yes, darling"
Perhaps, by some Hollywood standards, four
years and eight months OF married LIE Is the
equivalent of forever. At any rate, little item
in Mondays news brought the tidings that Lana
had been granted another divorce. In private
Nevada courtroom, Judge held extreme mental
cruelty" sufficient ground for severing the oono
that was to last forever. And Lana and BOD,
now with seven wrecked marriages behind tnem'
went their separate ways.
There is a temptation to SermoAize on the
corroding effect that this sort of thing has on
the basic structure of our society. But 1t IS
enough perhaps, to recall that on the day OF
Iana's marriage the late King George vi and
Queen Elizabeth were observing their 25th we'd
ding anniversary That event did not receive as
much newspaper attention here as the wedding
in Beverly Hills But Queen Elizabeth had some
thing to say that is worth remembering. "The
world of our day." she said, sis longing to md
the secret of community and all married lives
are In q sense communities IN miniature. There
must be many who feel as we do that the sane
titles of married life are in some way the high

concept Of marriage that was put into words by

LeqoIized Wire Toppinq

State and local law-enforcement authorities
have won an important ruling from the Supreme
Court in the much disputed field of wire tapping
The high courts decision in Texas case will
have the effect of legalizing wire tapping by
police in cases to be prosecuted in non-Federal
courts. The clariflcation badly needed, as
police in many jurisdictions have been uncertain
of their rights under the courts previous inter-
pretations of the somewhat vague anti-wire
tapping provisions of the Federal Communica-
tions Act
The court already had held that the laws
ban on "interception and divulgence" Of private
communications prevented use in Federal courts
OF evidence obtained by tapping wires The Texas
case, involving conviction of q pawnbroker for
completely in robbery, presented the Supreme
Court with the direct question of whether the
ECC ban applied also to State courts. The
pawnbroker was found guilty largely on the basis
Of recording which police made of telephone
conversation between the pawnbroker and a
jailed accomplice.
Justice Minton, speaking for the majority
JuStlce Douglas disSenting) said: eve are deal
ing here only with the application of Federal
statute to State proceedings. Without deciding,
but assuming for the purposes of this case, that
the telephone communications were intercepted
without being authorized by the sender within
the meaning of the act, the question We have is
whether these communications are barred by the
Federal statute from use as evidence in criminal
proceeding in a State court. We think not"
The high court recalled that many State courts
have arrived at similar conclusions. It added that
Congress should have been more explicit if it had
intended to outlaw use of wire tapping evidence
In State courts and that the court had no right
to assume congressional intention to super
sede' police powers of the States
This decision will strengthen the arm of local
law enforcement in the investigation and prose-
cution of violators of State laws But Federal
law enforcement remains under the handicap of
Supreme Court rulings which assume an intent
by Congress to prohibit the use of wire tapping
evidence in Federal courts. 1t makes no sense
thus to discriminate against Federal law enforce
ment. The absurdity will continue, however,
until Congress comes to grip with the wire
tapping problem and amends the FEC law to
exempt Federal authorities from its proper
restraint on indiscriminate wire tapping.

Nation Divided
Parent.

Regarding the discussions of the so
called Irish Question" in your columns
recently. it seems to me that your cor
respondents are missing the mark.
1t is not important whether the citi-
zens OF Northern Ireland are Catholic
or Protestant, English or Scotch, indus
trious or lazy, hospitable or inhospitable.
The important point is whether a small
minority Of the citizens of ANY country
can secede from the rest of that nation
and set up a separate form of govern
ment.
This question was settled Il hope) in
this country in 1865. At that time, Great
Britain did everything in her power to
divide this great Nation. Thank God she
did not succeed. She has succeeded in
Ireland, at least temporarily. Ireland
and the Irish are as different from the
English, as the French from the Ger
mans. When the Germans occupied and
governed France, the newspapers re-
ferred to France as Occupied France"
Doesn't the same phrase apply to Ire
land? Isn't Northern Ireland occupied
and governed by a foreign nation? Is
there any difference between the Vichy
government and the Belfast government?
We are presently engaged in spilling
blood Of young Americans in order that
the people of Korea might have the right
to govern their own country without
foreign interference. How can we deny
this same right to the Irish?

citizens view it in what difference

fact to remember is that we cannot hope
to enlist the help of all free thinking
men in our fight for a United Nations if
we leave even one small nation disunited.

Price Milk?

Persons with families to rear should
not take lightly the full effect of the
latest in long series of fights over
milk in Washington. The consumer
always pays. The average family here
has daily home milk bill of over 81 il
four quarts of milk are ordered. Why
doesn't each local newspaper direct its
editorial and news stats to study the
current problem? Is the Board of Trade
interested? Is the so-called Advisory
Council concerned with the public in
terest in the matter?
Washington consumers must be espe-
cially alert now. At long last the Mary
land-Virginia Producers Association has
complete monopoly on the local milk
supply. This so-called Coop composed
OF prosperous farmers) controls the
price. Of milk as long as it controls the
full supply. Local dairies forced to get
their milk from the Coop will neces-
sarily charge the consumer prices based
on what the Coop charges them. Thus
the consumers of milk and cream in
Washington should be alert to any fur
ther increase in the price of milk or
cream. retail or wholesale, for they are
the ones who pay. And, at the first
sign Of an increase in prices, then con-
sumers' representatives should proceed to
the new Board Of Commissioners after
January 20. 1853, and demand public
hearings. Every citizens association
should be alert now and In the future to
the situation. Every Representative and
Senator in Congress should be made
aware of the monopoly and it's price
power potential. Unlike gas telephone
and electricity. there is no utilities COM
mission which oversees the public in
interest in milk.
Milk has been likened to public
utility. Pious platitudes about the i'm
portance of a healthful milk supply don't

at all a bit OF good. Good milk at fair
prices should be the public objective.
There is no other business in Wash
1ngton so .unregulated as the milk busi-
ness. monopoly exists, is encouraged
and protected. No labor union enjoys
the privileges Of this Coop. Its prices
are uncontrolled: its right to the entire
market is sanctioned. In the District
there is no longer even Peoples Coun-
sci. There Is no milk commission. There
Is no antitrust control.
1t is not an exaggeration to say that
there are million guinea pigs in and
around Washington who must pay what
ever milk prices the Coop basically
fixes.
1t is about time something was done
about the situation. Every established
church, parent-teacher association. and
every respectable social group in this
city should police the problem in the
common interest of the families of this
community.

Letter for Postmaster

Here is a bright idea offered (free) to
our new Postmaster General:
At holiday time. and time of overseas
mailing. why couldn't each post Office
set up a wrapping counter. at which
could be sold heavy grade wrapping
paper, cord, labels, ETC.? Most people
would be delighted with such an ar
rangement, saving much time and trouble
dashing about to locate the materials
necessary to wrap satisfactory package
Most post Offices (at least in cities)
have large spaces available for such a
setup and it would require little in the
way of personnel. Perhaps if deadline
were put on such service, people would
mail earlier, too, in order to utilize it.
