Big Ammunition Budget.
After being roundly criticized
by a Senate committee for the
lack of ammunition supplies in
Korea in the past. the Army
showed evidence of taking nc
chances of being caught in such
a bind again. More than 70 per
cent of the new funds requested
for procurement and production
in the fiscal year beginning July
l will go for ammunition and
ammunition facilities.
OF the overall total requested,
$2.4 billion would go for new
weapons. But no new tank funds
would be included since suff-
cient is available from prior
years.
Former President Truman
asked $12.1 billion for the Army
in his budget last January. The
Eisenhower administration cut
this by 81 billion but then added
$2.5 billion for a more realistic"
financing of the Korean war and
more ammunition.
Gen. Collins concluded Il
think these cuts will not too
seriously affect the status Of the

Shifting the Torqet Is No Answer

There was lot of common sense in the
views on city decentralization which Dean Jose
Luis Sert of Harvard Universitys School of
Design voiced at last weeks regional conven-
tion here of the American Institute of Archi-
tectS. Especially sensible and realistic was his
comment on recurring proposals to move the
Nations Capital, or a major part of it, to some
other city as an atomic-age safety precaution
wherever you place it," he said, you provide
another target"
Dean Sert said that some decentralization
of large cities is logical" not only for civil
defense purposes but to care for municipal
expansion. But" he declared in an interview,
you can't think of uprooting history. You can't
think for example, of leaving Washington
corpse" 1t might be we'll to consider planning
for an alternative meeting place for Congress,
should an atomic attack on Washington come,
he added, but he could see no merit in Sugges-
tionS heard at the convention that the Capital
be transferred out West somewhere. AS he
pointed out the shift would not go unnoticed
by enemy StrategiStS.
The decentralization for Washington given
major emphasis by architects at their meeting
really was another word for what has come to
be termed dispersal" when applied to this city
by Federal officials. The two terms have been
confusing to members of Congress and others.
When the previous administrator asked Con-
greSs to approve Federal decentralization pro-
gram in 1850, it included proposals both for
extension of Government Offices into nearby
areas and for transfer of some agencies far
from Washington. Later the nearby expansion
program came to be called dispersal" and the
transfer of activities to distant cities "decen-
tralization." Congress- quite properly, killed the
decentralization scheme, although it had ap-
proved some expansion of the Federal estab-
lishment into adjacent counties of Maryland
and Virginia.
II new advocates of decentralization mean
removal of the Government or substantial parts
OF it to other cities, they are proposing course
that would not solve the atomic-threa prob
lem, that already has been rebuffed by Congress
and that ignores the fact that Washington was
established as the seat of Government. De-
centralization as distinguished from dispersal,
is dead issue and should remain so.

thrush few into a porch in the next
block, and dropped dead as it struck.
Not a sign of injury could be seen,
and the bird was plump, discounting
ideas of malnutrition. Probably long
fight without food did it. Birds are
food engines, in sense, having high
temperatures, ranging from 103 to Ill
degrees.
Fall is a very nice time, especially
for the newcomer to the suburbs, TO
start bird feeding.
Natural supplies are falling short,
and often water is at a premium.
The resident who puts out food reg
ularly, and supplies water in shallow
containers, is sure to have more birds
than his neighbors. ...
If the home he moves into has berried
shrubs, these will entice wintering
birds. but most may be done by putting
out seed and grain daily.
There are few thrills in bird watch
ing to equal that first fall and winter
in a new suburban home. The city
family, especially, whose members had
paid no attention to bird life, will be
enthralled by the variety seen in Subur-
ban sections. Over the first winter
as many as SO different species may be
counted. and subsequent years will show
at least 90 more.
May we warn the suburban new
comer?: Do not work up hate for any
bird that comes to your yard. There
is too much hate in the world, as 1t
so beautiful and alive, to play at that
sorry game. ..-....,, =.

Juvenile Delinquency

Juvenile delinquency is no laughing
matter, especially for the unfortunate
adults, parents included who have to
deal with it on day by day basis. I
have witnessed a number of instances
in my life, many involving parents who
helpleSsly had to watch willful chill
dren go from bad to worse because
they could get no concrete help or ad-
vice from church. school, welfare agen-
cies or the police.
Every four years, almost on schedule,
there is great "to-do" about juvenile
delinquency, big name" committees
are named, and high sounding and
wen-meaning reports are drafted re-
iterating the findings, conclusions and
recommendations of countless previous
big name" committees. The news
papers dutifully and consistently pub
lish excellent daily columns summarize
ing the meetings and activities of the
committees. and reproduce the Subse-
quent report in full, then promptly
every one forgets about it for four
years, except, of course, the parents
and other adults who have to contend
with juvenile delinquency from morning
to midnight, and after.
Obviously a delinquent child is one
who is 'incorrigible, ungovernable,
habitually disobedient and beyond the
control of parents, guardians, custodians
or other lawful authority" This was
one of the definitions of a juvenile
delinquency committee circa 1888. If
there are delinquent parents. as it is
often stated, there are also delinquent
churches, clergymen, schools, teachers,
and police and juvenile court officials.
And what about orphans and neglected
children? How does parent go about
getting public assistance in handling a
habitually disobedient child without
incurring the hatred of his neighbors
and associates?

This and That

they have been taught by scores OF
years, now, and thousands of farmers,
that man is dangerous business.
Nature had a plan for the throatS
of birds.
Those that had four or more muscles,
we believe, were singers, and those who
had less were not. At least that seems
to be the conclusion erring man has
arrived at, and sometimes he seems
wrong, as usual. since erring is part
of him.
No honest man but knows that he
constantly errs in judgment, and eS-
pecially in kindness.
Nature seems to have had plan here,
too, so that error might be said to
make no difference, if he who errs tries
to correct his errors.

Natures plan for bird heads is odd,
to say the least.
Sometimes the bulky bird, such as the
dove, has a pee-wee head, whereas
some tiny little fellow, has a big one.
Saw one on the ground the other
day, dead; could not identify him: no
marks were visible.
Such a large head he had, all out of
proportion to his little body, not more
than an ounce, all told.
Probably this was that rare sight,
a dead bird in nature. Some persons
swear they have never seen a bird
which has died a natural death, but
that seems strange, since they must
die by the thousands every day. But
they are so small, as compared with a
dog. for instance, that nature soon
hides them away beneath old leaves.

The morning crows came back the
other day, and we were glad to hear
them.
All summer they were absent, comb
ing the corn fields for food, but now
that autumn is here, they return to
more closely inhabited regions.
They fly in and cav about quarter
of 6 o'clock each morning, giving their
welcome to all who listen.
Probably most persons attuned to
bird life hear them, because there is
no finer sound in nature.
Distance lends softness to the cav,
but actually it is good sound. in itself,
even when heard close, something in
it reminding one of the good earth and
green growing things.
Any one who disputes this should be
reminded that crows are classified as
SongbirdS.
This is due to their throat muscles,
made on the same plan as those Of
the mockingbird and all other song
birds.
Even the jay. sometimes strident in
his utterances, is a songbird.
It seems that the intent, rather than
the result is what counts.

to; it manages to incorporate more of

BeIeoquered Mr.. Benson

The march upon Washington by some 800
aroused cattemen dramatizes-but does not
Solve-the enormously difflcult problem posed
for this administration by a Slumping agricul-
tural economy.
There are really two problems-one politi-
CAL the other economic. The political problem
is very simple one: This administration faces
probable defeat in next years congressional
elections unless 1t comes up with a program
which will satisfy the dissatisfied farmers. One
way of doing this would be to plump for more
and bigger Federal subsidies to the farmers,
and this is what the cattlemen, among others,
are demanding. But Secretary of Agriculture
Benson believes and he probably is correct,
that new or expanded subsidies, while they
might solve the immediate political problem,
would merely aggravate and intensity the eco
nomic problem.
Certainly the existing price support pro-
grams (they are subsidies) have not solved the
economic problem. On the contrary it might
be said that they have created the problem
at least, in the sense of encouraging production
of surplus commodities which have priced them
selves out of the world market and which can
not be absorbed in the domestic market On
the face Of the matter, it would hardly seem to
make sense to keep expanding in this direction.
Yet the problem is one for which some kind
of solution must be put forward, and soon. The
beleaguered Mr.. Benson has been working with
an advisory commission, and has promised to
have a detailed plan ready for submission to
Congress in January. It will be little short of
a miracle, however, If he can come up with any
plan which will meet both the political test and
the test Of sound economics.
