of ceremonies and entertainer for
charitable enterprises, is leaving

of duty here with the Navy. He is
to report to the USS Bennington,

Attorney General McGranery's breakdown
on United States attorneys is logical outgrowth
OF recent charges that the Department of Justice
has been lax in pressing income tax and other
prosecutions. Mr.. McGranery is right In holding
that the Department Of Justice must clean It's
own house before 1t can merit public confidence
in any broader housekeeping operation The
success Of the Attorney Generals avowed pro-
gram for Kidding the Federal establishment OF
unfaithful employees win depend In large measure
on how determined and how successful he is in
putting his own department In order His shake
up Of top-level assistants may be regarded as
a move to insure that men Of his own choosing
will aid in the hopping up.
Properly enforced, the McGranery plan for
exposing any irregularities In the prosecution
system and for increasing its general effective
ness has far-reaching possibilities. The part Of
the order with the greatest promise for good Is
the requirement that the docket Of each United
States attorneys ONCE be checked every six
months and reported to the Attorney General.
Any unusual delays In prosecuting cases must
be explained in detail In the report. This
arrangement should serve to keep prosecutors on

their toes and, at the same time should dis
courage IDEALS" of the type that have brought
criticism during recent congressional hearings.
The prosecutors must report, Also on cases
dropped, with an explanation as to the reason
for not bringing indicted persons to trial Any
attempt by outsiders to influence the Govern
ments decision in pending case must be
reported, too In this connection Mr.. McGranery
instructed the attorneys to review all cases back
to January /, 1947, with view to reporting the
names Of private lawyers who formerly were
Justice employees.
And, getting bit more personal, Mr. Nc
Creamery ordered the Federal attorneys to give
him special reports on how much of their time
is taken up with outside work and how much
time they spend on the Governments business
While it is not illegal for United States attorney
Or his assistants to maintain private law prac-
tices on the SIDE it is essential that there should
be no interference with Federal work of the
prosecutors. And it is also essential that the
private legal activities should not be in conflict
with the interests of the Government.
All of this gives hope that Mr.. McGranery
means business in his announced campaign to
clean up his own department preparatory to
more general attack on scandals in the Federal
establishment. It will take energetic and persist
ent measures of the sort proposed by the new
Attorney General to mend the shaken confidence
of the public after the recent series of Sordid
disclosures at the Capitol.

School lnteqrotion
Watchful Waiter.

The Sunday Star of June carried an
article about the school situation In the
District in which mention was made of q
letter we, group Of mothers of River
Terrace, wrote to the Board of Educa-
ton. would like to amplify your state
ment that we asked the Board Of Educa-
ton for "a special exception for our
children to attend the Negro school in
River Terrace"
We want no special privileges. We are
asking only what we believe to be the
right Of every child-namely. to attend
the school nearest his home. We believe
that segregation is morally wrong and
an evil influence on our children. While
there is new modern school in our
community, any child who is forced to
bypass this school to travel across dan
gerous intersections to an old school is
being Disseminated against.
The children of River Terrace have be-
come friends. It would be most proper
for them to attend school together. and

in an effort to get the bird to pick It up.
It is only after it has used this method
OF feeding itself for some time that one
should think OF releasing it for keeps.
The bird will take the matter into its
own hands. or claws, or wings, or bill,
pretty soon.
1t may try short flights into trees.
Usually it will return, and be glad
enough. apparently. to go indoors for
the night.
Then there will come time when it
will not come down.
It may be in the tree the next morn
ing. After that. though still tame. it
will never allow itself to be caught
again. and at last will fly away for
good
A bird should be released to nature
long enough before fall to get the hui
man smell blown of it, and to be able
to orient itself with the other BIRDS
# one fears this release in the home
neighborhood, such a hand-raised bird
may be taken to Rock Greek Park or the
Zoo grounds, and there turned loose.
Such bird does run some risk through
friendliness, especially with persons who
are not accustomed to birds. That is
the reason it is best to get it indoors at
night for a time, also for periods
through the day at first. The extreme
friendliness viii gradually be lost, al
though not all Of it. Most of the friendly
birds we find were probably acquainted
with humanity through the extension
Of help at time Of need. They must
find out for their own good that all hui

Five-Stur Keynoter

Will some one explain and excuse the
choice of Gen. Macarthur to make the
keynote speech at the convention in Chi
cago? Is it ethical for man in uniform
and one who Is so vindictively antago-
nistic to one of the candidates to accept
that position?
Frances ID. Ray.
If the Eisenhower followers are so
scrupulously careful in seeing that Army
regulations are followed. they should
study them more carefully before charg-
ing violation of them.
Gen. Macarthur, in making q speech
to the convention as an invited guest,
Is not participating in the convention.
He is~neither delegate nor an official
of the convention. Neither he. nor ex-
President Hoover, who has been invited
to address the convention, are members
of it any more than distinguished guests
who have addressed the Congress are
participants in the deliberations Of Con-
greSS.
If every officer of the Army and Navy
who is now on inactive duty, but who is
subject to recall to active duty, were
forbidden to express his political senti-
ments, thousands of Eisenhower's active
supporters would be silenced in this
campaign.
It seems clear that the reason for not
making the keynoter the temporary
chairman Of the Republican convention
was to make the keynoter a guest, not
a member of the convention.

stration in Moscow, Marshal Of the
Soviet Union L. A. Govorov made
the following specific charge, which
should be refuted at the highest levels:
1.-THE American barbarians by using
meteorological weapons have COM
mitted the greatest crime against
mankind"
It so happens that, having been resi-
dent in Manchuria for many years, I
can throw some light on the pneumonia
plague in China. One of the charges
formulated by the Communists held
America responsible for an outbreak Of
that plague, and the following facts
may be Of value in refuting this charge.
The Chinese plague the winter Of
> 1911 was introduced to Northern Man
churia by the. fur hunters of marnots
in Monaghan territory adjoining East
ern Siberia. Thousands of Chinese died
an agonizing death from this pest.
1t was only after the Pekin govern
ment had sanctioned petroleum spray
ing and setting fire to the mounds Of
unburied collins containing the bodies
Of victims that spread Of the disease
was halted. Scottish medical mission
aries and French doctors risked their
lives daily. and indeed some lost their
lives, in assisting the Chinese doctors
during the crisis.
In order to resist any recurrence.
Chinese authorities built a plague-pre-
vention center In Hardin. There re-
search was made into the relationship
of rats and marmots to the disease.
Whether this good work has been con-
tinued under the present Communist
regime In Manchuria Is an open ques-
ton.
The charges Of germ warfare origi-
nate in the bad consciences of China
and Russia. In both countries, hygienic
conditions amongst their massed troops
are Of shocking nature and q scape-
goat had to be found for the appallingly
high death rate among their troops.

COLLEGE PARK, Md.

Dear Sir:
II would like to write you in apprecia-
ton Of your delightful column, and also
to ask you for bit of advice.
1.-THE boy next door brought us a
young bird, thrush, I think, which he
found in the street. It could not fly. but
it was unhurt and unafraid.
1--WE had raised q young bird once
before and were not too appalled, at the
prospects of another, but the neighbour
hood here is quite different from the one
at home; there are lot Of cats and a
great many small children, who, with
the best intentions, could do a hand
raised bird an injury.
"Can you tell me, first. how to teach
our bird to fend for himself; and, second.
where there is bird refuge in which to
release him after he is grown?
4
1--WE live near Beltsville. and there is
refuge there. but one cannot 60 into
it, apparently, and should not like to
let Squeekie go free too close to the
road.
HE is very tame, of course, and would
probably alight on the shoulders or head
of any one he happened to see, or might
run about in the highway and get run
over.
I'VE have been feeding him variety
of things. and your column quoting Mr..
Malcolm c. Davis Of the Zoo was very
helpful.
81 have used oatmeal porridge mixed
with some of the scratch feed we put
out for the birds. and should like to
point out that food should be rather
moist II the bird % to get 1t DOWN.

Gromyko and British Policy

Political differences in Britain are hardening
In manner that is disturbing to the West and
probably encouraging to Moscow.
The Labor Party, split within ITSELF has now
taken the formal position that it will oppose
ratification of the West German peace contract
unless or until new elections are held in the
Bonn Republic as a measure of whether the
West German public really supports the pending
agreement. Such elections are now scheduled
for next year but it has been the hope of the
Adenauer Government and the Western sigma
tories that ratification of the pact will be OBJ
tanned before that time.
Britain's Conservative Government is PLAN
ming to bring the matter before Parliament in
the near future. Since the Conservatives have a
narrow working majority and are likely to pick
up scattering of non-Conservative votes on
this particular ISSUE it seems certain that British
ratification will be obtained. A solid, or near
solid Labor opposition, however will be the first
occasion since the outbreak of World War II in
which there has been a real breakdown of BIZ
partisanship on foreign policy in London. Such
division in Parliament and in the country at
large Is bound to receive important attention
abroad-in France, in West Germany itself and
behind the Iron Curtain.
Coincidentally with this internal political
development there is widespread speculation on
the significance Of the recent shuffling of Soviet
amOaSSa0orS, ana the possibility Cnat new
Communist diplomatic offensive may be aimed
at capitalizing on the "neutralist" movement in
Britain This movement has its greatest strength
In the left-wing Labor faction headed by Aneurin
Bevan. Critical from the beginning of the
Western security and rearmament effort, or at
least the extent of the British commitment in it,
Mr.. Bevan has been one of the leaders in forcing
the present Labor position on the Bonn treaty.
No friend of Soviet communism he still dissap-
proves the Western strategy of opposing it. He
and his followers undoubtedly would be consid-
cred prime target for any contemplated Soviet
strategy of seduction.
There is nothing, of course, in the past con-
duct Of Andrei Gromyko who leaves the post of
Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister to become Mos
cows new ambassador to London, to indicate
that he has any greater appeal to the British
public than previous Soviet ENJOYS. However,
since consistency Of behavior is not binding
rule upon Soviet diplomats-as long as there is
faithfuness to the Kremlins instructions Mr.
Gromyko will be in good position to initiate
whatever new policy may have been devised
to drive wedge between Britain and the United
States Accordingly, 1t will be important to
watch him in London in the face of the political
division now looming there.

This and That

ALSO. patience is very necessary, and
one must not hurry over anything to
do with the handling. We have made
him q roomy cage, with full-length
perch. He has nest in deep carton
with mesh cover, into which we put him
at night, but during the day he Is either
in or on his cage, or on my shoulder.
and he is really very little trouble, ex-
cept that cannot go to town or be
away any length of time.
1--WE are relative newcomers to WASH
ington. and feel that through your col
umn we have friend. Your personality
comes through with great deal Of
warmth and friendlineSs, and we shall
miss you when we go home again. It is
such relief to read something by Tenn
pleton Jones instead of all the crime,
war news and politics that one has to
plough through every day.
Very sincerely yours,
"E. G. E."
The best way TO condition a bird
brought UP by hand to the natural free
dom which is its birthright is to start
taking it outdoors for time every day.
There is some danger to this. it is
true. but danger is a part Of everything,
eVldently.
What one must do is give the bird
series Of gradual tastes of the great out
doors, Of the nature Of which it is a
part.
This is best done by selecting quiet
time III any, and taking the creature
out on shoulder or finger.
The feeding ritual may be used. First
give it the usual water, and then some
food.
Put some Of the food on the ground.
