The end of another season of daylight saw
ing at am. tomorrow has special significance
this year. 1t marks the end, also, of years Of
congressional oratory and time-wasting, repeti-
tious legislation on a subject which, hereafter,
the District will decide for itself. That is a
tremendous step forward in the field of local
lawmaking.
Ever since daylight saving came into being,
Congress has been going through the annual
routine of debating whether fast time" was
good or bad for the people of Washington.
Always there was the absurd implication that
because it was bad for the farmers it must
also be bad for citizens of the District. And
always-often at the last minute-CongresS
passed bill authorizing daylight saving in
Washington for the next summer, only
The past Congress finally put an end to this
Stiffness by granting permanent authority to the
District Commissioners to proclaim daylight
saving here whenever the people wanted it.
That the majority of people in Washington
(and nearby communities as welD like daylight
time has been evident for some years. In fact,

Roanoke Rapids Financing

Congratulations to Lowell Mellett
and to The Evening Star for revealing
little of the truth about the Roanoke
Rapids hydroelectric project. AS a
good citizen, ] for one recognize the
United States Supreme Court as the
final arbiter of the issue as to who
shall build the dam at Roanoke Rap
ids. The question now is whether or
not the United States Treasury shall
make gift to the company of not only
the full cost of the project, but $20,-
653,0l4 over and above its full cost so
that VEPCO really can enjoy the high
courts decision. Here is how it works:
The project is estimated to cost about
$33 million, and the company has re-
ceived an accelerated tax amortiza-
ton certificate for IS per cent of this
amount, or $21.511,750. Assuming a
project life of 40 years, that means
that during the first five years during
which Roanoke Rapids operates the
company may depreciate IS per cent
OF its cost at 20 per cent a year as
contrasted with a normal deprecia-
tion rate of about 212 per cent a year.
Depreciation, Of course, is deductible
from taxable income, so during the
first five years. the company will deduct
$43O2,350 from its taxable income
each year instead of the $537 ,794 that

This may seem low, but it helps keep
common sparrows away, since they do
not like low nesting.
Bluebirds will eat raisins, as will
many other species.
There is no other special food for
them, since they feed on berries and
fruits mainly, and on dried berries in
winter.
Paintings of berried shrubs, there
fore, and leaving the berries on, is
about all one can do to attract them
with food.
BluebirdS are notoriouSly difficult to
attract and to keep. They come best
to places with plenty of trees and
shrubby growth. particularly young
trees of the sapling size.
All one can do is to put up house
for them and hope for the best. In our
own yard in Chevy Chase, we have had
one pair of bluebirds in "a years, and
they stayed but one day. Maybe four
cats had something to do with it.
The bluebird house is made inches
high, 4 inches square, with the door
2 inches from the bottom. The entry is
Ia inches in diameter. Other birds
may enlarge this. and sparrows may
get in, but these cannot be helped.
1t has been found that, as commu-
mites are built up, the bluebirds mi
crate to less built-up areas, and this.
too, cannot be helped, since these
beautiful creatures like to lead the
simple life,l unhampered by other birds
and huyAan beings.

Growing Confusion on Bridges

The Potomac River bridge problem is be-
coming more confusing with the passing of
nearly every week. The latest bridge plan to
be tossed on the accumulating pile comes from
officials of the National Capital Planning Com
mission. 1t calls for Sx-lane structure down.
stream from the railroad bridge which parallels
the Fourteenth street span. 1t is apparent that
Congress, which must make the final decision
on new bridge sites, will have king g-size task
before it.
Awaiting congressional consideration, as of
now, are proposals for bridge on the line of
street, favored project of the District High
way Department.; one just upstream from Key
Bridge, long advocated by the NCPC; one at
Alexandria, approved both by the Highway De-
partment and the NCPC, and for less urgent
treatment, bridges in the vicinity of Cabin John
and Great Falls The snew NCPC proposal is
designed as a substitute for the controversial
street location, strongly opposed by the
planning body, Federal park officials and the
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Association. The
street site is urged by the Districts highway
and traffic engineers, who assert that traffic
surveys show the absolute necessity of having
another river crossing in the central area, be-
tween the Memorial and Key Bridges. But
such a bridge would cross or come close to
Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Island, widife
sanctuary Inc HleIIlOTldl group Is DICLeTly Op-
posed to what it calls any such "desecration"
of the island. The associations stand has the
support of the Planning Commission and the
Interior Department.
The city planners and the highway engi
neers seem to be getting further and further
apart in the bridge squabbe. The two groups
represent points of view not easily reconciled.
On the one hand are those who, quite under
standably and properly, give first place in their
thinking to overall park and parkway de-
velopment and conservation. On the other are
the traffic and highway experts whose job it is
to find means of bringing prompt relief to the
growing bottleneckS at existing Potomac bridges,
It is inevitable that the views of both groups
should clash at times. Congress has had to
resolve such clashes in the past, and it will have
to settle the present dispute-objectively and
in the best interests of the general public 1t
is not too soon for committees of Congress to
begin their preliminary studies of this important
issue. 1t is an undertaking that cannot be
handled satisfactorily without full inquiry in
cluding public hearings. wrong decision
could have seriously adverse effects on the
development of the entire Metropolitan Area.

'Makinq Highways Softer

The Star editorial of September %,
captioned Making Highways Safer"
encourages me to ask a question that
has annoyed me with it's unanswer-
ability for a long time:
Why do automobile manufacturers
urge purchase of over-100- horsepower
engines when the usual road in this
country will not accommodate anything
more powerful than 40 horsepower?
On the face of it, it looks stupid to me.
1t doesn't require 100 horsepower
or more to drive within the average
speed limit of 30-55 miles per hour.
AS far as I can see, only the four
lane divided turnpikes are really useful
for speed. Try doing $3.50 on some
of the curving stretches of two-lane
roads in Virginia, or on Macarthur
boulevard from Maryland State line
to Great Falls. Only fools and drunks
will try it. Of course, there's a fairly
high percentage of each. The rest of
US old "40-50 mile per hoursers" get
ulcers trying to get where we are going
in one piece. No wonder brakes have to

would be deducted under normal de-
probation practices. The Federal
income tax rate is about So per cent,
so during each of the first five years
the company saves 81 ,957 ,569 on Fed
eral income taxes. 1t invests this
money at the customary per cent,
and at the end of five years has a
kitty of about $11 ,034,816 accumulated.
OF course, the company pays back the
taxes it saves during the first five
years, but the Government charges
it no interest on this money. So from
the kitty of $11,034,816 accumulated
at the end of the initial f1ve-year
period, the company pays out
not the full kitty. but only five times
the saving during each of the initial
five years, or total of SO, 1877 ,845 and
this is important-it has 35 years over
which to spread the payments back
to the Government, assuming project
life of 40 years. During this 35-year
period, the company invests the unpaid
balance of this kitty at the customary
6 per cent allowed by most regulatory
commissions, but pays the Government
no interest at all. In other words the
company gets an interest-free loan for
40 years and invests the money at per
cent. If the interest on the unpaid bal
ance is calculated year by year over the
35-year repayment period, the results
show net benefit to VEPCO of
$53653,014. This is over 16 times the
entire cost of the project.
These dollars and cents figures,
moreover, completely ignore the fact
that the true and original purpose of
the accelerated tax amortization GER
tlflcateS is to encourage expansion of
industry needed for an adequate ma
tional defense by assuring investors
that, regardless of market conditions,
their money will be returned. The
Roanoke Rapids project was conceived
long before the Korean crisis, and long
before the Korean crisis the company
knew and publicly announced that a
ready market already existed for the
power and energy output of the project.
So why is a rapid tax amortization
needed in the first place?
We need more columnists and news
papers willing to write and print both
sides Of these issues.

This and That
Those f1uorescent lights again!

Those f1uorescent lights again!
Here's a reader who does not like
them:
"A noted eye expert told me-" writes
NJ A., that this form of lighting is
one of the worst ever inflicted on the
human eye.
I'm building in Baltimore occupied
principally by medical men, including
oculists, fluorescent lighting installed
throughout the building was COM
pletely removed, despite great financial
loss, because Of objections by medical
occupants to its effect upon the eyes
of themselves, stats and patients.
THE fact that one doesn't look up
at overhead lights is relatively imma-
terial if the eyes are at all susceptible
to light.

Even sitting under the shade of

of the light struck down without bene-
fit of shade had the same, though less
pronounced, effect.
Il now see why those very ugly, fiat
topped, acknowledgement lamps were
invented a few years ago."

1t was a question here, however, of
the wrong sort of shadows thrown
upon their work.
In favor of the long tube lights, it
may be said that they really do give
light, and plenty of it.
Especially on gloomy, rainy days.
huorescent lighting gives a Sunshiny
appearance to any place where in
stalled, and tends to elevate the spirits,
we believe. This is something.
We recall a pretty girl, selling rec
ords in a phonograph store, and after
they installed the f1uorescent lights she
was not quite as pretty as she was be-
fore, under the old yellow lamps.
From Glen Mar Park, Md, comes the
following inquiry:
will you kindly furnish me with in
formation which will be useful in en-
couraging bluebirds to stay in our
neighborhood?
Il know have seen this information
in your column, but at the time was
