Probers 10 Question
GrunewaId TODAY
AtCIosed Session
By the Associoted Press

Henry w. (the Dutchman)
Grunewald, man of mystery in
the 1851 Investigations of tax
scandals. had a chance today to
break the silence which led to
his conviction for contempt of
Congress.
Facing a Jail sentence of up to
a year, Grunewald volunteered
to appear in a closed session
with House investigators.
In advance of his appearance,
members of the Ways and Means
Investigating Subcommittee were
uncertain Of the extent of his
cooperation. But they were
we'll primed with questions.
Traces Tax Questions.
Among other things, they
wanted to know about Grune-
Wald's alleged part in a number
of criminal tax cases pending
before the Internal Revenue
Bureau in the 1940s.
For sitting mute before the
same group in January, 1852,
Grunewald was cited for con-
tempt and last week pleaded
guilty to one of the 81 counts.
The Government said it would
ask dismissal of the other 80.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff of
the United States District Court
for the District of Columbia
postponed sentencing after in
dicating the severity of Grune-
wald's sentence would depend
on the extent to which the de-
fendant co-operated with the
House committee. The maximum
penalty is a $1,000 fine and a
year in Jail.
Connections Pictured.
Self-styled investigator and
public relations consultant, the
60-year-old Grunewald emerged
in testimony before the subcom-
mittee as a man with close and
powerful connections in the
Revenue Bureau and in Con-
greSS.
He was pictured as a personal
friend of Senators and Govern
ment officials.

Sweden Blasting Out
Mountains 10 Shelter
100000 From Bombs
By the Associoted Press

STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Mar.
27.-Sweden is blasting deep
into her rock mountains to build
vast system of atomic bomb
proof Notifications that will
shelter everything vital to the
defense of the country.
Lifting for the first time the
secrecy on 10-year-old Opera
ton Granite" defense officials
said yesterday that it provides
for $50 giant rock shelters for
100000 persons. including the
worlds largest such cavern in
Stockholm.
To Take Direct Hit.
The Stockholm bomb shelter
cuts through a mountain in the
heart of the city and is designed
to give 10000 persons complete
protection against a direct hit
by an atomic bomb. The three
story underground structure is
expected to cost 13 million
crowns ($2.6 million) when COM
pleted next year.
Other giant rock shelters are
being built or have been COM
pleted in about 25 big Swedish
towns.
Navy Ports Ready.
Officials disclosed that a vital
part of the Swedish navy al
ready can dock in numerous
secret harbors gouged from
mountains along Sweden's Bal
tic coast. Space also has been
blasted for naval yards in the
solid rock.
Most of the nations jet fighter
bases have mountain hangers
now. 1t is planned to base vir-
tually the entire air force of
$500 planes underground.

peasants had gathered on the

cans of milk and four or five

During an evening like this you

Some one pointed out an inter-

no outlet, here, for the urge to

What would an American
"joiner" or female-do in

about what the average Russian
does-concentrate on becoming
a member of the one and only
organization - the Communist
Party. It's not an easy ambition
to fulfill; which adds to men,

It's impossible to tell just how
many party members there are.
The last official figure was six
million members in 1946-about
3 per cent of the population. It
fluctuates with changes of policy.

September Z, 1851
While working on the Ambas-
sador'S speech, I handed in two
quotations from the works of
public figures in Soviet life
passages which seem to have been
overlooked by students of the
Russian scene, but which strike
me as being extremely enlight-
ening, and extremely frightening.
The first is from a Soviet text
book for teachers of elementary
schools C'Pedagogy." by B. F.
Yesipov and N. K. Goncharov) =,
which was published and ap-
proved for general use in 1916:
The pupils of the Soviet school
must realize that the feeling of
Soviet patriotism is saturated
with irreconcilable hatred toward
the enemies of socialist society.
Hatred gives birth to class
revolutionary vigilance and
creates a feeling of irreconcil-
ability toward the class enemy;
the weakening of such vigilance
undermineS the cause of the
socialist revolution. It is neces-
sary to learn not only to hate
the enemy but also to struggle
with him, in time to unmask
him and, finally. if he does not
surrender, to destroy him.
Thus, formally and officially,
hatred is now a virtue, an ideal,
something toward which Soviet
children must stretch their hands
and hearts.
The second quotation is from
Stain himself-a passage from a
Talk With Metallurgists," which
was published in "Pravda" in
1884. Here are Stalin's words, on
the surface so sweet, underneath
so menacing:
people must be grown care
fully and tenderly. just as a

Treasury Department officials,
and whether he was able to rec
ommend promotions Of officials
within the Revenue Bureau.
He also gave out a statement
accusing the subcommittee of
Haunting his con itu ional
rights and exercising a "wanton
abuse of power" in demanding he
answer questions. That was as
far as the subcommittee got in
three stormy sessions.

September IL, 1851
There are about 1900 tele-
vision receivers in the Soviet
Union today, the overwhelming
majority in Moscow. with prob
ably two or three thousand in
Leningrad, and a few hundred in
such large cities as Kharkov.
On the whole, the technique
of the televislon producers, di-
rectors, and photographers
strikes me as being extremely
unimaginative.
In regard to content, I must
say that the programs are far
different from ours-and, as far
as they go, much better. None
of us, of course, has an oppor-
tunity to watch television shows
in a Russian home, but night
after night I look at Soviet pro-
grams on an American receiver
in our own quarters.
And every program, without
fail, consists of one or more
of the following items: news
reels, documentarieS, feature
films, a full-length opera or
ballet direct from the Bolshoi
theater (and by "full-length I
mean four hours at least). a
symphony concert, a full-length
musical comedy OF variety show
televised from one of the Mos
cow theaters, or a program of
folk dancing and singing.
Propaganda. indeed, is indi-
rectly involved in many (if not
most) of these programs, but
the cultural level is invariably
far, far above our own. And
SO is the standard of taste. That
I shall maintain even, if nee
essary, before MeSSrS. McCarran
and Mccarthy.

ber of flowers with the younger
ones at the top. 1t is this showy
display of beautiful flowers that
makes the plant attractive to
many and accounts for its having
number of common names
The stem is branching and COW
cred well with short sticky hairs.
The leaves are light green, hairy
at the bases, to 8 inches long,
somewhat fuzzy above and with
margins as shown in the illustra-
ton.
The root system is the thing
that introgues many who might
wish to transplant the flower to
their gardens. When they try to
dig the thing up they find that the
root system seems to be continu-
Gus and extends on and on. 1t
seems ridiculous for a small plant
like the False Foxglove to have
such huge root system. The
gimick in this is that the major
root system uncovered by the plant
digger is not that of the Foxglove
at all. Rather it is the root sys-
tenn of an oak. 1t seems that our
False Foxglove is parasitic on the
roots of oak and if the plant is
to be moved it must be transplant
ed to the root system of an oak.
1t is much simpler to say that
this should be done than it is to
do it. For that reason it is per-
haps wise to leave well enough
alone and to recognize that the
False Foxgloves, like so many
other attractive wild covers are at
their best in their native setting.
If we wish to have them with us
we must learn restraint in picking
them. Some suggest that the
seeds may be planted in soil that
is perforated by growing oak roots,
but this again is not a simple
stunt.
The Falve Foxglove blooms from
July through September. 1t is
found from Maine to Florida and
west through Ontario to Minnesots
and south to Missouri.

False FoxgIove
CIo52 National Wildlife Federation

Any plant or animal likely to
be listed in the National Wildlife
Fedelation stamp set can qualify
as being reasonably well known, in
danger of determination or pos
sibly even extinct. The mill run
of plants and animals that play
roles of minor Importance are not
likely to be included in the FEEDER
ation's hstings.
The False FoXglove is reason
ably well known as is shown by
the fact that it at least has one
common name and, as matter of
fact, a number of common names.
In addition to the name False Fox
glove it is known as Feverweed,
Fern-leaved False Foxglove, Louise
wort False Foxglove and Bushy
Gerardia. Even the botanists rec
ognize the plant by giving it two
generic names, Gerardia and
Dasystoma.
The False Foxglove has the dis
tinction apparently of having no
known food value to man. 1t can
not be listed as an important for
age plant. 1t is not known COM
monty as a medicinal plant. 1t
cannot play an importat part in
the control of soil erosion or as
wildlife food or cover. 1t dies hold
an appeal to many, however, and
the reasons are probably two, one
of which is noticed by everyone
who sees the plant and the other
noticed probably first when one
tries to transplant it into a garden

They say that you can tell by the
way he looks and acts when a man
is in love. There is not the slight
est doubt about the fact that a
Yellow Warbler in the height of his
amorous cycle is quite a different
bird from what one sees and does
not hear in the fall months.
Our subject this time is often
spoken of as Yellowbird but there
are so many yellow birds the name
is inappropriate. Besides, in the
late summer and fall Yellow
Warbler looks so much like many
other warblers that in many cases
one mans guess is as good as an
other. In the spring and early
summer these yellow midgets, only
5A inches long at the most, flash
their colors in the tree-tops and
shrubbery and repeat their "seet,
sweet, sweeter, sweetest" call
throughout the breeding range,
which extends for the 4 recognized
subspecies from eastern Alaska to
southern Ungava and south
through Nevada, New Mexico,

northern Georgia and South Caro-
lima.
During the winter months our
feathered friend spends his time
from Yucatan to Guiana, Brazil
and Peru. What he does there is
an affair of primary interest to
South Americans, but what he does
here always holds our interest.
The food of the Yellow Warbler
is almost wholly insects such as
small moths, caterpillars, beetles,
flies and grasshoppers caught in a
tireless cleaning of tree tops and
low shrubbery. Many of these in
sects are caught while the eater
and eaten are in full flight and in
such cases the eaten has little
chance of escape from this feath-
cred dynamo.
The nest is built about farm
lands and with great frequency in
suburban areas. 1t is thing of
beauty, a compact sphere of cot
tony stuffs we'll lined with dried
grasses, bark, rootlets or hair hid
den in low shrubs, trees or similar
woody vegetation. In the nest the
female lays from to 6 gray OF
greenish eggs marked with brown
Smyrna times., 1953-09-24

or purple usually around the larg-
er end.
The eggs are about 4 by u
inches in size. Frequently one
finds such an egg clutch with one
or more of the larger eggs of the
Cowbird. The Yellow Warbler so
parasitized by a Cowbird may try
to correct the situation by building
a second nest on top of the first.
This nest may also have a mixed
clutch of eggs. If the young Cow
bird matches he usually outgrows,
outeats and outlives the rightful
young who just cannot stand the
competition of this outsider.
Incubation IS carried on by the
female Yellow Warbler for period
of from II TO Is days. There is
usually no more than a single
brood each year though Cowbird
interference may cause the mother
Yellow Warbler to lay more than
her normal quota of eggs. Ex-
amples have been found of Yellow
Warblers building six nests, one on
top of the other, to beat this Cow
bird racket. 1t is doubtful if even
this is successful in face of the per-
