Hord-Won Victory

The 16-to-9 vote in the Ways and Means
Committee to report out bill extending the
excess profits tax for six months is a victory
of the first magnitude for the President
1t was not easily won. Committee Chair
man Dan Reed from the first day of the session
had refused to bulge in his opposition to the
extension, and he went down fighting in the
committee yesterday. But while Mr.. Reed and
those who stood with him undoubtedly fought
from strong conviction, the economics of the
situation were all against them
Certainly, in the face of $94-billion in
stead Of the anticipated $5.9-billion deficit at
the end OF the fiscal year, it can hardly be
contended that it would have been wise to
further reduce Government revenues and
thereby plunge us deeper into debt. This is
not the path to a sound economy; it is, instead
one-way ticket to fiscal disaster.
Confronted with these hard facts, the ad-
ministration brought severe pressure to bear,
including, at the end, threat to bypass the
Ways and Means Committee. Pressure is always
diStasteful, but in the light of Mr.. Reeds atti-
tude in this instance there was no other means
of achieving the desired result. Without this
threat-which actually was held in abeyance-
it is highly doubtful that the bill would have
emerged from the committee. Now that it has
been reported, the whole House will have an
opportunity to vote on the question This is
as it should be, and the sooner the vote Is
taken the better.

Parent.
By Charles E. TroceweH

Even today, after centuries Of observa-
ton, men have not been able to tell ex-
actly how they are motivated in their
annual migrations.
Light and heat have something to do
with it, but there is body of thought
that claims it is ancestral memory.
There can be no stretch of language,
then, in saying that the birds remem-
bered the good gardens where kind
humans had put out food for them.
They did not have true mental pictures,
as humans do of some favorite place to
which they want to return. 1t is impos-
sible to get into the mind of bird and
know exactly what it thinks" and
why. 1t may not even be correct to say
they think" at all, but it is con-
venient phrase, one which somehow
links them to us, and makes them, in
very good sense, little personalities.
though they do not have college degrees
and will never invent atom bombs. The
birds have many difficulties to face, and
this, too, makes them seem closer to us.
1t is impossible at this writing to know
if poisonous bait put out for any worms
has had any effect on bird life. Probably
not on the wood thrushes, which ordi-
narily do not eat much food, but grain
and seed eaters might not be above
taking a fling at bran. Our opinion is
that the wood thrush sings as we'll as
ever, but that there are not so many
of them as in past years. If the atomic
bomb explosions keep on, we may have
no birds at all
Evening star., 1953-07-09
This and That :.

II remind my husband that food is
expensive, whether for humans or birds.
LAS long as the cicadas were here.
the amount of bird food bought was
negligible, but now it is soaring again.
II have decided that maybe might
cut the bills little by just putting out
seeds twice a day, in the morning. at
dawn's early light, and at dusk. 1t is at
twilight that the redbirds like to eat
the most.
II wonder if the wood thrush sings as
well this summer as last. At least to my
ears he does not. Or is it just fewer Of
them?
do you think the wholesale of appli-
cation of poisoned bran to the country
side, in order to get rid of the army
worms. has anything to do with the
lessened number Of thrushes?
Sincerely yours, M. j: L."
The last of the cicadas left the birds
on their own again and being sensible
creatures, they Immediately thought Of
all the good sunflower seeds and raisins
they used to find in so many yards.
So they began coming back home
again. to the old gardens, and the new
gardens, to see if their recollections
were correct. Now, birds may not
think" as we do, it is true, but surely
they have some such mental operation
as remembrance.
1t may be with them no more than
the physical prodding of hunger, which
turns their wings in a certain direction.
Evening star., 1953-07-09

eau said, is to make the earth say beans,
corn and wheat instead of wild daisies,
plantain or burdock. And every good
farmer is kept busy giving summer elo-
cution lessons to his land
But no longer is the farmer the
"home staying, laborious native of the
soil'' to the extent he used to be. For
today. thanks to machinery-he en-
phatically is not "well-nigh crushed
and Smothered under his load creeping
barn IS feet by 40, its Augean stables
never cleansed, and 100 acres of land,
tillage, moving, pasture and woodlot."
Indeed. as you can see even on the
most casual visit to the countryside. the
farmer is no longer serf Of the soil,
eating the dirt of his acres as he carries
them on his back. On the other hand,
do not imagine, either. that the farmer
is as free as a bird. or that his push
button age has arrived, as some writ
ings might imply.
He has his fabulous combine, his
tractor or two, his baler and other ma
chinery-or he has the use of a neigh
bor'S-but he still needs strong back
and stern spirit to lift those 100-pound
sacks of grain to the wagon in the field
and then lift them off again and stack
them when they reach the barn.
True, the hay baler telescopes the
work of days into a single afternoon.
But no way has been devised to whisk
those bales to the barn except that the
farmer lift them to the wagon in the
field and lift them off again on the
barn floor.
