PRAYER Of a Mature Wind

* MOTHER prayer Of this famous
IA king is recorded at the dedica-
ton of the Temple Solomon had
grown older by that time, and we
can see in this prayer that he had
grown wiser as well. For good as
his dream-prayer was. this later one
was deeper. higher, wider.
BY this time his idea of God
is higher than it was. He is
aware new that God does not
live even in the most gorgeous
of temples; his dwelling place
is in heaven, and his care is not
for the nation Of Israel alone.
Then again, in the earlier prayer
Solomon's horizon was bounded by
the limits of his native land His
prayer was unsclfish. indeed, but it
took in the welfare of his own sub
iects-no others. Now at the Temple
he prays for the stranger -. all
the people of the earth.
Furthermore, if in his earlier
prayer young Solomon was aware of
his and his peoples weakness and
ignorance, now he feels something
deeper, more serious: the burden
of human sin. He prays for many
blessings, but above all for this: for
giveness for every heart that turns
to God. When we ourselves pray,
are our prayers mature? How high
is our thought Of God? For how wide
circle of persons do we pray? And
do we pray first, and most of all,
for things, or for power, or to be in
harmony with God?

Dreams Give You Away

FT1HEY SAY that when one is learn
ing a new language. one can be
sure one is making progress when
one starts dreaming in the new Ian
guage Dreams. psychologists be-
lieve, show us what our minds are
like beneath the smooth surface
We should not take all our dreams
too seriously, because. after all, it
is the conscious mind that is at the
wheel during our waking lives But
still q dream may show the kinds
of wishes and desires and fears
which lie deeper than our usual
consc iousnces.
Now when man dreams
about praying to God face TO
face, you may BE sure he IS real
y 4 God-eearing, praying man.
So the young Solomon's dream
of his interview with God is a
good indication Of The depths Of
his mind and intentions at that
time.
It was not a silly dream; it was
quite serious We may well believe
that the young king often thought
about it afterwards. and that God
actually took this way Of speaking
to Solomon.

Judge Kirkland Rules
Again Jury Must Act
In Simkins Case

Judge James r. Kirkland ruled
again yesterday that a jury must
determine whether Roger white
top) Simkins is guilty of contempt
of Congress in refusing to answer
a question last January before the
Senate District Crime Investigat-
ing Committee.
Judge Kirkland of the U. S. Dis
trict Court for the District of Co
lumbia reiterated a ruling on the
case he made on Thursday. the
opening day Of the trial.
Judge Kirkland on Thursday
threw out six of the seven counts
in the indictment against Simkins
holding that the defendant was
within his rights for refusing to
answer six of the questions on
grounds of fear of possible self
|incrimination.
Trial Resumes Monday.
The jury was excused during
the greater part of the afternoon
yesterday. while attorneys argued
various points in connection with
the case. The trial will be re-
sumed on Monday.
The sole remaining count In the
indictment accuses SimkinS of con-
tempt of Congress Tor refusing to
answer the question: Have you
ever done any sort of work or oc-
cupation or profession that you
would like to tell the committee
about?"
SimkinS refused to answer this
question, also on the ground of
fear of possible self determination
"A simple mo" would have been
an answer. it was argued before
the court.
Will Let Jury Decide.
Judge Kirkland said the ques-
ton was ambiguous. but he said
he will let the jury decide whether
Simkins was contemptuous.
Defense Attorney George E. C.
Hayes told Judge Kirkland, in
the absence of the jury, that Sim
kins had told the committee that
he did not wish to be televised.
Assistant United States Attor-
Iney William Hitz conceded that
Attorney Hayes might argue to
the jury that Simkins may have
been confused by the televiSion

yours very truly. g. r. S."
This Is a common problem Of those
who feed the birds every day.
AS the population Of the Metropolitan
Area grows, more and more boys take up
pigeons and more and more finally give
them up.
The deserted birds are turned loose
on the town, and no one can blame them
for being hungry. They are large,
healthy and good feeders. as the country
people say.
They look around for food. and soon
spot the congregations of songsters at a
feeding station.
They fly in. as our correspondent de-
scribes, and tend to monopolize things.
One thing that can be done is to put
the feeding station on the ground and
cover it with trash burner, or other
cover with wires about 2 inches apart.
This will permit the smaller birds to
ny out. but will prevent the pigeons from
getting in.
It win not, however. wholly prevent
them, because few viii hang around

Dear Sir:

Second.)
In addition to giving us real pleasure,
it has taught us much about the birds
that fill our yard and eat at our feeding
stations.
That is. they did feed at our stations,
before the pigeons took over.
I'VE have no objection to pigeons: we
have always liked them, and even feed
them in parks as Templeton Jones does.
but these are not the run-of- -the-mill
pigeons-they are pigs.
They come in droveS at the crack Of,
dawn, and as soon as feed is put in the
stations they sweep down, nine or ten
at time.
"They light on and under the station
and eat every seed and raisin before any
other bird has chance to get near.
I'VE have tried to discourage them by
putting feed only in the station nailed
to a tree, but they have learned to land
on that one, as small as it is, and each
takes his turn until the, supply is
exhausted.
when they have eaten everything In
sight, they wait for the next feeding.

money down a rat hole this time and
will not ask my friends to do SO; few of
them would, even if asked them, for
they, too, seem to have learned some
thing.
This is not q "sore head" attitude. It
Is one Of firm conviction. Franklin said:
"You have q republic If you can keep
it," Republicans have fought to ''keep
it." In this group that has promoted
Eisenhower can see no resolution to
preserve the republic. That is reaction
and 1t should be recognized and labeled.
There has been much talk about the
necessity of the Republican candidate
getting the independent vote and some
Of the Democratic vote, but little con-
sideration given to holding the vote of
those Republicans who have labored
long and sincerely to keep Republican,
ism alive during the years when it was
almost dangerous to admit being a
Republican.
It has been said, with what seems
sneer. that the Taft Republicans" will
vote for Eisenhower as they have no
place else to go. Maybe they won't want
to go anywhere on election day, just
putter around the house-put up the
storm windows for the bad weather
ahead.

the edges and get such seeds as are
pushed out by the eager feeders inside.
Sparrows and others always drop whole
seeds over the sides and that Is why the
pigeons feed beneath.
Another remedy Is to give up feeding
for few days or weeks, after band Of
pigeons has really begun to make stand
in ones yard.
This may break them up, since they
are hearty eaters and must fly away to
find food, but usually it viii take from
few days to several weeks to give them
the idea that they are wasting their
time.
They are capable, patient and strong
and have few scouts around all the
time, just In case.
II these measures fail, there Is nothing
to do except kill one or two Of the birds.
Sometimes popping at them with
BIB gun win do 1t.
One bird wounded or killed viii give
the others the idea that they are not
wanted.
Sometimes less strenuous measures,
such as slapping folded paper on the
hand, will alarm them enough to keep
them away.
After all, they are hungry. and hungry
creatures are hard to stop.
No one minds few pigeons, SO II the
numbers can even be lesSened. this Is
q great victory.

In articles in The Star of July 10
and II concerning the report of the Spe-
cial House Committee on Chemicals in
Food, which held hearings on fluorida-
ton of water, the committee report is
stated to have said it was essential for
all facts about fluoridation to be made
public land an opportunity given to the
people of each community to decide
for themselves whether they desire to
assume at this time the calculated risk
inherent in the program" The unani-
nous report said: "a sufficient number
of unanswered questions concerning the
safety of this program exists as to war
rant conservative attitude"
The District started 1uoridation with
out any public hearings. The Committee
pointed out that no experiments had
been conducted to find out the effect of
f1uoridation on adults with chronic all
ments, such as kidney trouble.
In view of the foregoing statements,
why was fluoride added to the water of
the District before:
% The House Committees report
was submitted?
CD Before the results of experiments
were known?
CD Before public hearings were held
to determine whether the residents of
the District want fluoride added to their

quate" bar-examining procedures in some States.
In its report on four-year survey the association
found that requirements for admission to the
bar vary widely. Some States have strict educa-
tional requirements, while others, like California,
do not care whether an applicant has ever
attended college or grade school. Some States
do not check on the character of an applicant,
yet he is to serve If admitted as an officer of the
courts of justice.
To correct the situation, the association
advocates the creation of a standard bar exam
ination formulated set, corrected and graded
at the national level" This would not be a
Federal enterprise, however. The standards
would be administered by the legal profession
itself, presumably through an agency set up by
the ABA and operated somewhat along the lines

began long before House committee disclosed
that high Federal attorney had found that it
paid to shop around among the States for bar
credentials. After repeatedly failing to gain
admission to the bar here and in Virginia, this
official finally won the right to practice law in
Tennessee Although he never practiced there
his Tennessee credentials were sufficient to gain
him courtesy privileges elsewhere.

Court Reform

The article on "Court Reform" in The
Sunday Star of July contains good
deal Of misinfoimation and error.
The writer states that the Smith bill,
If enacted, could go far to break the
log jam Of litigation in the Supreme
Court. .." This conclusion is without
foundation. The Smith bill would re-
duce to some extent the number of
cases brought in the lower Federal
courts. It would not reduce to any ap-
preciable degree, If at all, the number
OF cases reaching the Supreme Court.
incidentally the article nowhere indi-
Gates what the provisions of the Smith
bill are cit would raise the "jurisdictional
amount" which case in the Federal
courts must involve).
Tie article then states that court re-
form in New Je;sey has enabled the
States ITO judges to dispose of twice the
amount of work that 1872 judges did in
1897 and concludes that "Such success
serves to dramatize what might be ac-
coiDplished in easing the Supreme
Courts load" The New Jersey reform
has no relevancy whatsoever to the Su-
preme Courts case load.

the $64 questions are: Can two un-

the same political system? Could not
such situation result in total socialism
in this generation?
Fortunately for the country, Senator
Taft is not lost to the American people.
for does not prudence dictate that there
must be strong conservative force in
the Congress to hold the radicals in
check? History shows that Without such
a conservative bloc in the Democrat
Party. the Supreme Court would have
been subjected to the will Of the Execu-
tive so that today sthere would be an
absolute dictator in the White House.
Wouldn't the Fourth Estate like that!

It seems impossible for me to let pass
the letter July IL, signed Federal An
nuitant" I, too, am one, but retired in
1914 after SIS years of service and get
only 81 500 per annum.
The writer no doubt is woman and
should consider herself very lucky to be
getting $2,160 which perhaps may be due
to the fact she retired since the law of
July, 1948. became effective. This law
was most unfair to those who retired
prior to that law as many of whom con-
tributed to making retirement possible as
they gave before it became law.
It Is my belief that she is the one in
error rather than Joseph Young, as am
sure he had in mind the bill just passed
when in his column he stated the law
now provides "some cost of living relief
to Federal annuitants whose annuities
have not kept pace with rising prices"
He was not Gin error" as am sure he
referred to the "bill" just passed and now
