TRIBUNE AND TIMES BOTH
GENTLE ON ROBERTS

The New York HERALD-TRIB-
UNE buried four inches of the Rob
erts story on Page 7, under couple
of pictures which led me to miss it
on first reading. The Indianapolis
NEWS gave the story a modest posi-
ton on Page 5. The Oklahoma City
DAILY OKLAHOMAN, allowing no
considerations of neighborly propin-
guilty to influence its judgment,
played it on Page g. The New York
TIMES carried a routine and def
nitely not overplayed item ("Roberts
Charges Plot Against HIM. on Page
8. And so it went. All of the 10
papers used the wire service dis
patches; for none was the story
worth staff coverage.
Congratulations are dangerous, but
it may be safe to say that the only
Eastern newspapers which gave the
Roberts investigation the attention
it deserved in it's early stages were
the CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONI-
TOR and the New York POST.
The Kansas legislative committee
heard 55 witnesses, and in the midst
of the investigation the Attorney
General filed suit to recover the
$4,000 Mr.. Roberts had persuaded
the state to pay his client. 1t was
brought out that Mr.. Roberts had
also received a $3.50 fee from the
Cities Service utility interests, al
legedly for keeping that company in
formed of pending legislation that
might affect it-a service available
in less well-connected quarters, &C
cording to the testimony, for $40
year. Governor Arm, an ally of Rob
erts, blamed the whole affair on the
malice of the Kansas City STARS
correspondent made a convincing wit
ness in his own behalf.
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER
Under pressure of these interest
ing events, which had all Kansas by
the ears, the New York TIMES final
ly woke up, in a Enthusiastically
massive way, and sent staff CORE
spondent to Topeka. In THE TIMES
for March 10, his front-page story
consumed two and quarter columns
catching up TIMES readers with what
they had been missing.
But except for THE POST, THE
TIMES was unique among New York
newspapers. AS THE POST took
pains to point out in its editorial
columns, THE HERALD-TRIBUNE
still buried the story, that day, on
Page 16. The (Hearst) JOURNAL
published nothing. The
DAILY MIRROR published nothing.
The (Scripps-Howard) w 0 R Id
TELEGRAM and SUN printed seven
paragraphs on Page IS. The DAILY
NEWS printed four paragraphs on
Page 40.
In the nations capital, the March
10 story got only three inches on
Page 10 in the Washington POST.

famous area to be found there.
There are at least dozen hum
mingbirds to be found in the west
ern United States but the Ruby
throated Hummingbird is the only
one common in the East.
The female Rufous Hummmg-
bird is almost 4 inches long, being
slightly larger than her mate and
slightly smaller than a Ruby
throated Hummingbird. The male
Rufous Hummingbird> has a bright
red-brown back and brilliant red
throat. It is the only humming-
bird with a red-brown back which
makes identification relatively SIM
pie.
The color is adequately pictured
in the National Wildlife Fedora
tion's stamp series for 1852, a
black and white Interpretation of
which is used here. Through these
stamps and these news-releases
the National Wildlife Federation
endeavors to encourage in the pub
lie a more wholesome appreciation
of the value of all living things to
man. Certainly a life without a
smile is hopeless and it is difficult
to conceive of anyone who can
watch any hummingbird without
expressing satisfaction through a
smile. MaIly become SO interested
in these feathered mites that they
feed them in their gardens using
glass walls filed with sugar and
water and with appropriate imita-
,tion flowers at the throat. These
devices properly placed in a garden
may be visited regularly by hum
mingbirds in season.
The Rufous Hummingbird builds
it's dirninutive nest of down, cover
ed with lichens, mosses and bark
in bushes or on trees. In it the
female places two white eggs. In
cubation is for about two weeks.
The male Rufous Hummingbird is
an aggressive little fellow. He dis
plays himself with acrobatic flights
during the courtship period and
attacks animals much larger than
himself to defend the territory he
has staked out as his own.
Hummingbirds serve useful
Smyrna times., 1953-09-24

One of our country's major ZOO
logical gardens maintains what it
calls the Jewel Case. In it appro-
priately are kept a variety of hum
mingbirds that certainly represent
a maximum of beauty in a mini
mum size so far as birds are con-
cerned.
The Rufous Hummingbird is a
Westerner. 1t breeds from south
ern Alaska north to the Goth par
allel and south to southern Oregon
and east to southern Alberta and
Montana. 1t winters in southern
Mexico and occurs in migration in
Wyoming, Colorado, and Texas. 1t
has been found accidentally in
South Carolina. The northern mi
grafton is to the west and Febru-
ruary and March may see the birds
in the California orange groves.

function in pollinating some deep
throated flowers. Their food con-
sists not only of nectar from flow
ers but of small insects as well.
Food is often captured while the
bird remains in flight and the
young may be fed while the bird
remains poised in the air with
rapidly moving wings. The trans
fer of food from the parent bird to
the youngster is aviolent proceed
ure which to the uninitiated would
seem to result in fatalities. How
ever, that is the style with hum
mingbirds and a more orthodox
system would be probably most
unsatisfactory to all concerned.

days of September Well, at De-

apples to be taken to the cider
mill near Clayton. At Delaney
there was also a horse shoe pitch
ing contest while further down the

ball game. At Greenspring some
farmers were shelling corn also

TIME TO CHECK
S. S. STANDING
If Your Thinking of Retiring
This Is the Best Month
To Investigate
SYSTEM EXPLAINED

Self-employed persons over age
65 who have retired during 1858, or
expect to retire before January
1854 would do well to consult with
their social security Office before
the end of September, according to
Myron Milbouer, manager of the
wilmington social security office.
In some cases, Milbouer indicated,
a delay in fling an application un-
til the last three months of the
year may result in somewhat lower
monthly old-age insurance pay
ments. But, he emphasized, the
problem is limited to only a few
of the self-employed persons retir-
ing this year, and does not at all
affect individuals who intend to
continue operating their businesses
after this year. Social security
payments are tied in to the individ-
uals average monthly earnings
over the years since 1850 when So
cial security coverage was extend
ed to the self-employed. Average
earnings are figured by dividing
the total earnings covered by So
cial security by the number OF
months elapsing after 1850. Since,
under the law, earnings from self
employment are reported and
counted only once year-after
the individual has filed his income
tax return-the 1858 earnings of
self-employed person filing this
year cannot be counted in figuring
his average earnings. If applica-
tion is made before the end of Sep
tember, the situation is eased
somewhat by the fact that under
the law a period of up to six
months before the calendar quarter
in which the application is fled
may be ignored in the calculation
of average earnings. This means
Smyrna times., 1953-09-24

that the individuals total net in
come from self-employment for the
two calendar years, 1851 and 1852,
will be divided by corresponding
"a months. If application is filed
after September, however, the
same total net income in most cas-
es must be divided by 27 months.
Therefore, Milbouer suggests that
self-employed persons who have re-
tired this year or who plan to re-
tire before January visit the Will
mington social security Office, or
one of the stations maintained
throughout Delaware, before the
end of this month. Members of
his staff will be glad, Milbouer said,
to discuss with each the advant-
ages Of his filing during this month
or waiting until later.

Each contestant must turn in q
record sheet of the project. In
selecting birds for the contest, they
should have the same weight. size
and body type. The birds should
have broad, well rounded, well

be wide, long, and straight. The
thighs and drumstocks should be
plump and meaty.
