ROTARY CLUB MEETING

Dewey Goodrich, who attended
the district Rotary convention at
Tacoma recently, gave a brief
resume of the program which
lasted four days.
An excellent instructive color
film entitled ALASKA Gold" was
shown to the club. The film de-
picted the many year-round oper-
atoms required to extract gold
from the frozen earth of the
Arctic. Each operation was shown
in detail as it occurs in the
Fairbanks area, under the expert
operation of the US. Smelling
Co. The opening portion Of the
film gave a historical survey of
the development of gold mining
from the primitive methods of
over so years ago, to" the elabor-
ate machine-manned methods of
today.

helps them fill the bill.
But surely there is no fun in this
sport if 20 or more greedy pigeons
barge in. Their persistency is a good
lesson, for the observing human. but
it adds nothing to bird feeding as q
combined indoor outdoor sport.
The way the pigeons hang on, even
after feeding has been ended, is really
marvellous.
Not the whole gang will be on hand
but two or three, or maybe four. day
after day. and almost all day long.
Though the pigeons have no scout
system. as the starlings have, they
give very good imitation Of it.
Probably the others are not too far
away, and will fly In the moment they
see the near ones ny down.
So the thing TO do is to cut on all
supplies and try to tire them out.
It will work, in time. but it often
requires great patience and plenty Of
time.
A month is not too much.
BY the end Of the fourth week. the
pigeons will have given over.
Then feeding may be resumed, by
putting out little sunhower seed in
the evening. say about 8 o'clock. fancy
time. 5 o'clock, real time.
After this, add to the supplies, so
that something is available for the

It is true that the human touch Is
not actually needed. The various Spe-
cies will find food. whether you put
it out or not.
1t helps them great deal, however.
il you do feed them. and there is
absolutely nothing against it. Some
times one hears stories to the effect,
based upon somebody's half baked idea.
that If one feeds them during the sum-
mer, they will become lazy and not be
willing to help themselves in fall and
winter.
Surely no sillier idea was ever con-
cocted. It is based upon the erroneous
assumption that birds live and think
as human beings. They do not. they
cannot. Their thoughts. If we can So
call them, are all bird thoughts.
Food is something they must have.
They take it as they hnd it. II human
wants to help them, they accept the
help. If no one wants to help, they
feed themselves and their own. That
is the bird law. and no amount OF
human interference can change 1t.
Another way to discourage pigeons is
to secure large ohlong trash burner,
with wires not too far apart. and place
this squarely over the feeding station,
which is on the ground.
II the food Is far back enough. and
the wires are close. but not too close
the proverbial just right-the pigeons
cannot get the food. but the smaller
and more desirable species can.

cries out that Republicans will lose the

The veteran legislator lawyer and tax
expert, representing an upper New York
State district. feels also that the cur
rent unpleasantneSS is interfering with

in mind. He hopes to cap his career
by having his committee send to the
House next January a comprehensive
general revision and codification of the
tax laws. For a man who has been
regarded as reactionary, stubborn and
Shortsighted. there is nothing narrow
in that vista.
And. for man who within the last,
few days has been tackled hard by the
Republican leadership and thrown per-
hapS for total loss by the Rules Com
mittee on the excess profits tax issue,
there is something we'll worth watching
in the way he has put drama into the
often dull and inevitably complex sub
ject of taxes. He (and President Eisen-
hover, too, who knows a thing or two
from football experience) has done it
mostly by exhorting people to keep
their eyes on the ball and on long range
goals.

Capital, Harry and Bess and Margaret came
back to town to see lot Of old friends They
lunched and dined visited some familiar spots
Of fond memory, probably did little shopping
and perhaps took a few pictures They were
gay and warm In their welcome to some of
their favorite people. and were even so to some
with whom they had enjoyed the customary
sort Of political differences.
It was good to have them back. They
looked fine, and It's nice to know they're happy
and enjoying life. One hopes that they'll make
a habit Of dropping into town from time to
time Old friends are always welcome.

Time to Reconsider

The color-television picture, too long con-
fused, Is beginning to come into focus. With
drawal by the Columbia BroadcaSting Company
of its compatible system of color televising
had left the field free for advocates of COM
patible system-that is, one which would
register in black -and-white tones on conven-
tional receivers without additions or adjust
ments. Now the Radio Corporation of America
and the National BroadcaSting Company have
come forward with formal request for ap-
proval by the Federal Communications Com
mission Of their electronic-tube compatible
process Thus, the FEC finally is faced with
definite proposal for the scrapping OF its
incompatible color standards in favor OF
system involving less inconvenience and cost
to the public.
The Supreme Court, in upholding the au-
thority Of the FEC to choose the CHS system
conceded that compatible process was more
desirable. But the FEC had ruled, after q
series Of tests, that the compatible electronic
system available in 1850 did not produce pic
lures of a quality comparable to those produced
by the incompatible CHS set, with its whirling
color disc. Since then, however, RCA and other
companies have made encouraging advances in
the color r-television art An industry committee,
pooling its researches and resources, has con-
centrated on improving the RCA color tube.
Recent demonstrations of this improved system
in New York City evoked laudatory comments
from reporters and other observers.
RCA and NBC officials have asked the FEC
to witness demonstrations OF the new system at
an early date. II the FEC grants its approval,
the companies promise to invest up to SIS million
at once ito establish this service on solid
foundation" Color broadcasting may start
next year, under this plan. In short, the time
has come for the FEC to reconsider its Inflated
approval Of q n-compatible color TV process.
It's restudy Of the problem may mark the open
ing Of brilliant new era In the Tv field.

Dear Sir:
What am to do about all these
fat pigeons that come to our bird
feeding station?
"They perch on a neighbor's roof.
He is somewhat irritable person. who
so far has shown admirable Self-con-
trol-for him.
II do not want to push him too far.
and besides I do not like the pigeons
myself They eat so much. and con-
tribute very little, If anything, to the
sport Of bird feeding.
What do you suggest?
Sincerely. M. j."
We think the best thing to do in
this and similar cases is to stop feed
ing for a time.
It will have to be for rather
extended time, unfortunately.
This is bad, if one likes to help the
birds, because it cuts on supply Of
their food. But for the last month the
various species have been busy with
the locuStS.
Now they are beginning to come
back to the feeding stations, and II
would be well if all their friends could
help them, because food is just Is
important to them in summer as winter.
There is an added burden on the
parent birds during nesting time. All
those hungry mouths call for increased
food supplies.

/, only to have it bottled ever since in
the Rules Committee.
The excess profits tax expiration was
equally part Of the Reed bill. The
battle was really joined when the Pres
ident said the job of working toward
a balanced budget was paramount, that
income taxes should not be cut until
January, and that the excess profits
tax should be continued from June to
January to pick UP an additional $500
million.
In one respect at least Mr.. Reed lives
in the past whenever someone contends
that his ideas would prevent balanced
budget. He recalls that Andrew Mel
Ion. Secretary of the Treasury in the
1920s, was confronted by huge deficit
but persuaded Congress to lower taxes
several times. The result, Mr.. Reed
said, was more Federal revenue than
ever because of shot in the arm for
business and personal pat on the
back for John @. Taxpayer.
Mr.. Reed can be grim, and is at his
grimmest in citing the moral" issue
as he views it in the present struggle.
He not only exhausts the dictionary in
denouncing the excess profits tax but he

Lots Of Kick Left in This Old Guard
Bv Robert K. Welsh

IROWDS and contestants in the
~ Capitol strife over taxes now know
that Daniel Reed Is full-time fighter.
It can hardly be said Of this former
Cornell University football left guard
and coach that the battle over the
excess profits tax was won on the play
ing fields near Cayuga's waters. Repre-
sentative Reed. for all his blocking
prowess, has not stopped the Republi-
can leadership drive to continue that
tax on corporations. But neither has
a worried White House and Q divided
House of Representatives yet scored q
final smash over its own Dean Of Re-
publicans in Congress.
Personally, this 78-year-old chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee is no unbending or sour Reed. Pro-
fessionally he is hard-hitting II not
hard-headed. and sometimes gruR but
seldom brow-beating. He insists that
in all his congressional career since
1919. and his 20 years on the COM
mittee, he has battled fairly and firmly
for principle ana not for petty gain
or piQue.
It may cause some surprise at both
extremes Of Pennsylvania avenue to
hear Mr.. Reed called q charming. even
courtly, gentleman of the old school
That does not mean he still sticks to
the> old school tie and the old school
try. He has been much too busy mas
tering the art Of politics and the
science of taxation to bask in the
memory of gridiron glories in the skull
cracking game Of the ninetieS. He
nevertheless draws occasionally on foot
ball jargon, as he did in assuring the
House Rules Committee that the last
whistle hasn't blown and that If q
man hangs onto the bali he won't be
too greatly bothered by people piling
on him.
Trim and erect as he towers well
over six feet or strides several miles
daily between his home and office, Mr..
Reed admits the tug Of war over the
excess profits tax has taken something
out of him. With q clipper grin on
his ruddy face he quips: This darn
thing has wrecked my health; I've
gained seven pounds"
It sounds strange to apply the word
"paradoxicaP' to person who knows
exactly where he stands and has con-
sistently stood for what he believes the
right course for the Nation and the
Republican Party. Yet, this most par
tisan Of Republicans in Congress is
causing the new Republican admins
tration one of its most hammering
headaches He SCOTS at suggestions
that he suffered a slight when Gen.
Eisenhower last winter did not invite
him to pre-inaugural huddles on tax,
trade and tariff and social security
policy.
Mr.. Reed notes that more than a
year ago when he kicked off in the
election campaign he promised that
personal income taxes would be cut by
June 80. 1853, and that the excess
profits tax would die on schedule on
that date. AS soon as he returned to
the House last January for his 18th
term he introduced H. r. /. That was
before the Eisenhower administration
announced a detailed plan Of tax legis-
lation. Controversy centered first on
the income tax cutback proposal. The
Ways and Means Committee promptly
and overwhelmingly reported out H. r.

FYeer Travel in Russia

In January of 1882 acting like some
stealthy creature burrowing deeper and deeper
into the dark, the Soviet Union greatly expanded
its travel bans against all foreign diplomats,
news correspondents and other visitors from
abroad In effect, with the exception of few
cities like Leningrad and a highly restricted 25-
mile area around Moscow this meant that the
Stain dictatorship had converted practically the
whole of the vast country into kind of under
world tightly shut off from any contact with the
outside. No move could have. been better cal
culated to intensity international suspicious
that the Kremlin, by thus becoming more
furtive and secretive than ever, was trying
either to hide internal troubles or throw .
cloak around preparations for fresh eVil-doing.
But now, whatever the purpose Of the 1852
and earlier restrictions, the poSt-Stalin Moscow
regime has seen fit to put an end to most Of
them. AS a result, the relatively few aliens who
are in Russia on diplomatic and other business
will henceforth be free-for the first time In
many years-to travel through the greater part
of the country as far east as Vladivostok in
Siberia as far west as the borders of the central
European satellite states, and as far north and
south as the frontier zones touching on Norway,
Finland, Turkey, Iran and AfghaniStan. Al
though areas like the captive Baltic countries
still remain closed to foreign visitors, this
Change CeTGdIIlly COuSCILuteS q sweeping
liberalization of past Kremlin policy-probably
sweeping enough to justify lifting of the tit
for-tat bans imposed upon the movement Of
Soviet citizens in the United States.
AS far as its significance goes the new
Soviet move seems clearly to be another Of the
numerous olive-branch gestures that Moscow
has been making during recent weeks in an
effort to persuade the world that things are not
as they were in the days of Stain and that
the Kremlin is now genuinely sincere about
wanting to ease international tensions and end
the cold war. One of the prime factors in that
war, of course, is the Iron Curtain, and one Of
the most essential of the essentials Of peace is
that it be torn down to permit free back-and
forth f1ow of ideas Information and persons
among nations The relaxation Of travel restric-
tions in Russia is only tiny part of what the
Malenkov- -Beria- -Molotov regime needs to do to
win international trust. Nevertheless, though
strictly limited 1t is an interesting step in the
right direction
