the birds found the water.

others, the baths had been permitted
to 60 dry.
Surely this is one of the easiest things
we can do for them, but it is the one so
easily forgotten, or overlooked.
The proper bird bath is no more than

Mr.. Gross Should Know Why

After listening to the 1852 crop of anti
daylight saving oratory, the House gave Repre-
sentative Gross of Iowa the answer to his query:
"Can the gentleman tell me the necessity for
this (DST) legislation coming in here year after
year2" The answer took the form of bill ex-
tending daylight saving time to the District for
one more summer. The House approved this
bill instead Of q Senate approved measure
which would obviate the necessity for annual
congressional action on the "fast time" subject
It would be straining credulity to believe
that Mr.. Gross did not really know the answer
to his own question. He has been member
of the House long enough to understand that
it is such die-hard opponents Of daylight saving
as himself who are to blame for the failure Of
Congress to rid itself of the annual chore Of
passing DIST legislation for Washington. TO Mr..
Gross, daylight saving is IAN attempt to make
the sun stand still in the heavens" and "a
golfers t-julep- -squatters' deal" It Is also q
subject which Representatives from farm areas
take delight in denouncing with fancy phrases
for the benefit Of the farmers in Iowa and else
where.

want to the bill under discussion makes no differ

relevant fact Is the one which Chairman
Mcmillan of the House District Committee stated
on the floor, namely that 1T seems that the
majority Of the people in the District Of Co
lumbia want this daylight saving bill" and that
Congress should try TO give the people what
they want" The House has recognized this fact,
year after year, by finally passing one-year
extension Of the plan. II Mr.. Gross and the
other battlers against daylight saving sincerely
wanted to get rid Of the task Of yearly action
on this matter, they would insist on House ac-
ceptance of the Senate bill This would give
the Commissioners permanent authority to move
the clocks ahead one hour each spring. It Is
not too late for the House to reconsider its silly

Famous Last Words

The smashing victories won by General
Eisenhower and Senator Kefauver in the New
Hampshire primary make hash out Of number
Of political maxims.
It has been said that the voters win not turn
against an incumbent President in prosperous
times. But the voters-and Democratic voters at
that-turned against President Truman with a
vengeance.
Another traditional thesis is that the candi-
date who gets out and beats the bushes is the
one who will get the votes. That apparently held
true for Senator Kefauver, Abut not for Senator
Taft The Ohioan campaigned in New Hamp-
shire with the same vigor that produced his
overwhelming senatorial victory in his native
State, but when the Granite State votes were
counted he had only some 80 per cent of the
total. General Eisenhower, who did not lift a
finger or shake hand, emerged with about SO
per cent of the Republican votes and all of the
presidential delegates.
The notion already pretty much shot to
pieces, that the labor leaders can deliver the
labor vote, also took beating. Industrial Man
chester was expected to go for President Truman
and against Senator Taft in their respective
races The exact opposite happened.
The results of single primary, of course
should be viewed with something akin to the
reserve that Is recommended in the case of the
arrival of the first swallow.
Still, it is difficult to believe that President
Truman, If he aspires to another term, can
survive his New Hampshire defeat His managers
had confidently expected him to win by deci-
sive margin. The trouncing that he took, there
fore, will have all the more psychological effect
and when the candidacy Of Georgia's Senator
Russell Is added to the New Hampshire vote
one would have to be almost psychopathically
optimistic to believe that the President has any
national political future. His eyewash wisecrack
sounds more and more like the Truman swan
song
General Eisenhower, on the other hand, must
be hearing that clear call from the voters for
which he said he would wait. There will be other
primaries, and Senator Taft will be battling in
most Of them. But the New Hampshire voting is
tremendously significant. # General Eisenhower
had lost there, he would have been through
Conversely, his triumph, and especially his sweep
In the delegate primary, gives tremendous i'm
petus to his driverless bandwagon. On the eve
Of the primary the Eisenhower managers, fearing
show of Taft strength, were crying down the
significance OF the outcome. Now they will be
shouting from the housetops that the Republicans
can win with Eisenhower and that they will lose
with Taft great many people, professional
politicians included will listen with receptive

No Longer q 'StepchiIF

It would be an understatefnent to say that
nearby Virginia. Jared well at the hands Of the
1852 General Assembly. If the Legislature had
done nothing more than pass the Fenwick con-
gressional redstricting BILL it would have rem
dered real service to the citizens of Arlington
and Fairfax Counties and the cities of Alexan-
dria and Falls Church. BY placing the new 10th
congressional district in the growing area across
the Potomac River, the Assembly at last gave
overdue acknowledgment to the fact that urban
Northern Virginia has outgrown the "stepchild"
status accorded it in the past.
While the Assembly went far toward giving
the area near Washington the recognition that
residential and business development there
merits, it did not go far enough. It awarded the
neighboring counties and cities their own repre-
sentative in Congress, but baked at giving them
additional representation at Richmond Yet the
same census figures that justified the setting up
Of a new congressional district across the river
also justify greater voice in the Legislature for
the area. The fight for this representation should
be renewed when the Assembly meets again two
years hence.
Among numerous local bills approved at the
late session were several that will enable the
new Fairfax government to function more
effectively. Of special nearby interest too, were
the legislation calling for a State Highway De-
partment study of traffic problems in the region
adjacent to Washington and the act changing
the name of Lee Boulevard to Arlington Boule
ward. The change in name will eliminate much
confusion resulting from the fact that parallel
thoroughfare Is called Lee Highway. ,4
Among acts of Statewide Importance were
the Assemblys opening of relief rolls to condi-
tional inspection, Tightening of penalties for
reckless drivers, allotment of additional. funds
for schools and mental hospitals and adoption Of

Grand Jury Secrecy

The legal basis for Judge Kirkland's ruling
that the District Commissioners are entitled to
see the testimony given by Police Inspector
Bullock to the grand jury, despite the rule that
such testimony ordinarily shall be kept secret
IS not as clear or as firm as one might wish
It to be.
The applicable rule provides that grand jury
testimony may be unveiled "preliminarily to or
In connection with q judicial proceeding" Since
the request for the Bullock testimony is not re-
lated to . judicial proceeding, literal inter-
probation of the rule would support the con-
tention that the Commissioners have no right
10 see 1t. But the courts through their deci-
slonS have broadened the literal Interpretation,
and Judge Kirkland foundf that the controlling
rule now Is that the usual requirement of
secrecy may be waived when in the courts dis
cretion the furtherance of justice requires it.
Inspector Bullock was indicted by the grand
jury in the Nelson gambling ring case At the
trial, however, he was acquitted by a directed
verdict, the court holding that there was no
evidence, admissible under the statute of lmi-
tatlons, which could serve to convict him. In
spector Bullock, who had testified before the
grand jury, did not testify at the trial.
So the real question now is whether in his
grand jury testimony, he said anything that
might properly serve as basis for disciplinary
action against him within the Police Department
II the inspector did not testify adversely to
himself before the grand jury, he can hardly
be injured by making the record of that testi-
mony available to his superiors the Commits
sioners If he did give testimony damaging to
himself as police officer, the Commissioners,
IN the public interest, ought to know about it.
This is about what Judge Kirklands ruling
comes down to- He has held that the public
interest in having full disclosure from police
official to his superiors outweighs so far as the
interests of justice concerned, the traditional
policy OF secrecy with respect to grand jury
proceedings.
In the circumstances of this case, it would
be difficult to say this is not the proper view.

Music in the Schools

Music IN the schools
The time has come when the right
musical approach must be made to Con-
gress If the standard Of teaching music
is to be raised in District public schools
First. musical science or the funda-
mentalS Of music must be established and
taught. Starting in the kindergarten,
q gradual growth in music should be
made through elementary, high and nor
NAL schools. When the foundation Of
music is definitely understood, then
choral and instrumental groups or
classes may be developed and broad
ened to a point where they are bene-
ficial to both pupil and the community.
Such setup will call for well-trained
supervisors and teachers who can play
and sing as well as teach.

We were happy to see letter from a

But 1t is an undernourished educa-
tional program that does not offer to
the children in the upper elementary
grades an opportunity to learn a musical
instrument and to share in the joys ana

orchestra. Your news item February %
