Dr.. Eisenhower Denies
World Government Stand
BY the A.seeiotsd Press

DR.. Milton Eisenhower, the
Presidents brother, told Con-
gress yesterday he has never ad-
vocated a world government with
law-making powers.
He said his position had been
misunderstood because a phrase
was lifted from the context" Of
a 1947 speech.
DR.. Eisenhower said the United
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization did
not consider itself as having a
mission to promote world gov
ernment'" while he was aSso-
cited with it.
DR.. Eisenhower, president Of
Pennsylvania State University,
made the statements in an ex-
change of letters with Chairman
Morrow of a House Foreign At
fairs subcommittee, which is
hearing testimony on specialized
agencies Of the United Nations.
Mr.. Morrow asked DR.. EiSen-
hover to comment on the fact
that the Daughters of the Amer
ican Revolution and the Ma
tional Sojourners quoted state
ments attributed to you in sup
port of their claim that the
concept of UNESCO is that Of
world government"

Arrests Here Lead
To $4,000 Cache
OF Stolen CIothinq

An investigation begun 13 days
ago with the arrest of two Brook
lyn IN. " men has resulted in
the recovery Of more than $4,500
worth Of clothing stolen here
and out-of-town. police said.
Detectives said the two sus-
poets have been breaking into
parked cars and stealing suit
cases of clothing since they left
Brooklyn by car in early March.
Police said the stolen goods
was then shipped by Railway Ex-
press Agency to a Brooklyn ad-
dress.
The men, Irving r. Cherry, At,
and his nephew, Floyd Fisher, IS,
were arrested here on March 19
and charged with looting a car
Of more than 5000 worth of
clothing and cameras.
An extensive investigation was
begun when police found a Rail-
way Express Agency waybill on
Cherry listing four suitcases
shipped to his home.
Detectives Benjamin F. Bean
of No. l precinct, and Marvin
j. Sears Of the General Assign
ment Squad, who were assigned
to the case, said they have now
recovered II suitcases, three
packages and one trunk. All
were en- route to Brooklyn.
According to Detective Bean,
the total loot is worth at least
$4,000. He said the two men
preyed mostly on tourists and
statesmen.
TeletypeS describing the stolen
property were sent out by De-
tective Sears and the men are
now wanted for questioning in
Charlotte. N. c.; Richmond and
Savannah, Ga. About $4,000
worth has been identified to
date, the officers said.
Both men have criminal rec
ords and are out on bond in
similar cases in New York and
New Jersey. according to the
detectives.
A $1,000 bond was set for
each man, after an arraignment
in Municipal Court for the
March 19 charge. United States
Commissioner S. Lawrence yes
terday set bond at $500 each
on a charge of bringing stolen
property into the District.

This and That

then only after long time has
elapsed
In captivity. the katydid will eat oak
and maple leaves, but likes better
fruits. grapes and bread soaked in
water
The rasping Of the wings together,
which is called singing, makes some
very harsh noises at times, and no won
der. Sometimes it is only "ka-ty." not
"ka-ty-did."
Just why they make this noise is
unknown, although 1t is thought by
some to be related to the mating. Sci
entists are not sure about this, how
ever. It seems a part Of nature for
living things to make noises. When
an older person is fretful. now and
then, at the screaming and yelling Of
small children. he should stop to think
that it is nature that makes them do it..
The superstition that frost win come
in six weeks when the katydids are
heard is much like the popular beliefs
about the grounding and st. Swithin's
Day
Such popular traditions are carried
on from one generation to another
without any real investigation by any
body. or. as matter of fact, any de-
sire for an investigation.
Such matters are simply held outside
Of the investigational spirit Of man.
Everybody is mildly pleased with them.
and wants no interference In such
small beliefs Of the everyday.
That rain does not come, or that

frost does not come, makes no differ
ence at all. The belief Is there. it is
something to talk about, and that is
enough.
Something to talk about!
Much of life bangles from that
phrase. Something to talk about. some
thing to say. for others to say again,
or to dispute, or to be cynical about,
as is the creatures nature at the
moment.
These popular beliefs, If they can be
so dignified, are part and parcel Of Iv-
ing. They include great mass festivals,
such as Halloween.
The insects will be singers in popular
imagination as long as the world lasts,
although they are really instrument
players. each with its own little drum,
violin or horn.
Listening to insect music takes some
imagination. else 1t will be nothing but
noise This was strikingly shown last
year by the reception that cicada mu-
sic got from many listeners. The ro-
nance Of the long stay in the earth and
the sudden rebirth in the sun was es-
sential to the mind II the listening ears
were to ind their music good listening.
It may be that some, at least, Of
modern music" demands the same i'm
agination. and that those Of US who do
not have 1t win never understand. as
we say. such music. but only want to
60 back to the forms. patterns and
cadences with which we are familiar.

Leqionnoire Defends Young

AS holder of 1855 Legion member
ship card. I am hopeful and confident
that the forthcoming convention will
be huge success in all respects. How
ever. I wish to take exception to re-
marks made against Commissioner
Young of the Civil Service Commission
concerning his reasoning IN not reconi-
mendingta half holiday on August 81.
I am certain this outburst does not
carry the Endorsement Of the rank and
file of legionnaires, because 1t Is un--
American, un-Legion and unsportsman-
like to attack an Official in rendition Of
sincere opinion. Veterans in Govern
ment service are fully aware and rec
ognize Uncle Sam as being most fair to
employees when it comes to leave and
time-off privileges, so the untimely be-
low-the-belt remarks should not go un-
challenged. Had the request been made
three or four months ago. feel certain
that something would have been worked
out to satisfaction of all. but pressure
demand for a holiday three or four
weeks prior to the parade was not in
order. ! think it would be nice ges-
ture on the part of the bigwigs to undo
this damage by passing resolution at
the convention commencing Mr.. Young
for job well done. The Legion should
not forget the unfair attack made
against Gen. Omar Bradley when he
was head Of the Veterans Administra-
ton. / trust lightning will not strike
twice in the same heated spirit.

If you hear the katydid making its
famous music. you may feel sure that
frost is no more than six weeks away.
That, at any rate. is the legend.
KatydidS are cousins to the grass
hoppers. They live high in trees, usu-
ally, so not many persons who hear
them have ever seen them.
The grasshoppers. locusts and katy
dds are said to sing" but actually
they do not sing at all, but make music
with little musical instruments.
Some use tiny drums, some really
fiddle. they all make noises easily
caught by the human ear. but 1t would
be miracle II the listeners thought Of
them as instrumentalists.
AS far as the popular fancy is con-
cerned, they all sing, and that is that.
There is no use telling the average
person that the katydid is playing, not
singing.
The cicada, or seventeen-year-l Locust,
for instance, does not sing, but beats
on its inner drum.
This beating is not done with drum
sticks, held in insect fingers.
The cicadas cause their drums to vi
brate by muscles in their bodies.
When katydids sing in the woods.
they are very suspicious, and stop in
stantly at the slightest sound below.
A crackle Of twigs viii stop them all
cold.
II Is said that Gagged insects win not
"sing" until AL lights are out. and

Do Books Coll Silently?

Wanting so badly to be read. do books

There are no treasures In the uniuerse
More wonderful, more udrious than

And who do ne cheat tDIso let them He9

Chinese mainland. and this in face Of
the fact that the Russians are known
to possess at least 200 modern-type
submarines. Transfer of some Of these
submarines to Red China. complete
with present crews, would require only
the stroke of pen, and in Red Chinese
eyes nothing could seem more reason
able than resistance to the intrusion
Of foreign vessels Of war.
Such sorties to the virtual edge Of
Red China's territorial waters are tam
tamount to selection Of Formosa or
the China coast as the theater for our
further containment, and fail to see
what advantages that remote island
or the land mass of China possess, as
contrasted with Korea. Surely, as has
been said, war is too important an UNI

admirals or generals.
