This and That

It's been a long time since this
column has carried anything about our
friend the common sparrow.
Watching flock Of them the other
day at a feeding station just outside
the dining room windows. we thought
once more how basically beautiful they
are, how interesting to watch.
It is true that they fight each other
for food, in sense, but close watching
reveals that what they do is better
called jostling.
They jostle each other. not fight each
other, for something to eat. and in
doing so have good time themselves
and afford q lively, amusing picture
to observers.
House sparrows do not have the flash
of the cardinal. the cute ways of the
chicka1ee, or the sheer Americanism
of the blue jay.
But for downright good looks, we
commend all observers to the female
of the common sparrow.
Like all females the world over, she
may or may not be beautiful.
Every now and then arrives beauty.
A prize winning lady sparrow is just
as cute as a chickadee, as colorful as
a dove, as bright and interesting as
any bird.
If friend of birds does not feel this
way. he should take to heart the dictum

Appeal Justified

The Public Utilities Commissions decision
to appeal Federal Judge Currans adverse ruling
in the Capital Transit f1nancial-policies case
will be approved by those who foresee steady
depletion of the company's resources under the
Wolfson management Judge Curran's decision
against interfering with Capital Transits cur
rent bond-redemption and dividend program
was disappointing to such critics, who include
many of the company's patrons. Those who
listened to the testimony in District Court were
not surprised at the verdict however for the
company made out a strong case in behalf of
its right to manage its internal" affairs free
from Public Utilities Commission restraints
Nevertheless, the commission, properly
fearful for the future welfare of the transit
system and mindful of its public responsibilities
in connection Herewith is justified in carrying
this test of its authority to higher tribunal
Serious questions have been raised as to the
company'S concern for the public interest. Some
of the testimony before Judge Curran indicated
that continuation of present surplus draining
policies would wreck the companys capacity for
serving the public, service required by its
franchise.

IF the old orchestra conductor who,
when told that Americans did not like
the music of Brahms, replied: Den let
them listen to it until dey do like it,"
It is that way with the female Eng
lish sparrow.
Watch her for time, and the good
points of this species will be realized
It is impossible. really, for any group
of living creatures to be as mean,
despicable, featureless and all-around
good for nothing as many persons have
said in the past. Their structures were
scarcely based on honest observation
They saw a sparrow pair push blue
bird pair out of a nesting place, and
fell to frothing at the mouth. But such
competition for place goes on all around
the world. even among human beings!
X X
The young lady sparrow is small
symphony of grays and browns.
She reminds one of an old-faShioned
Quaker girl, the sort Weir Mitchell
wrote about.
Her manners. as bird. are quite as
good as those of the female of any
other species.
Every one has watched female cardi-
nails which were veritable viragoes,
chasing other species. even their mates
This, too, is nothing new. Just be-
cause a sparrow does it does not mean
that she is rowdy.

End of the '7ideIonds' Issue

The Supreme Court, in its 6-to-2 decision
against the Alabama and Rhode Island tide
lands suits, has put to rest one of the most
misrepreSented issues in recent American his
tory. The decision upholds the constitutional
ity of the bill quitclaiming to the coastal
States the submerged lands and resources lying
within their traditional seward boundaries.
Signed last May by President Eisenhower, this
is the very same bill that used to be described
by certain people as "giveaway." robbery in
broad daylight" and "a big stear' perpetrated
against the whole country by Congress.
But Congress, despite its misguided critics.
had every right to enact the quitclaim legisla-
ton. The court majority, reaffirming earlier
rulings to the same effect, has been par
ticularly emphatic on that point Actually,
far from being an evil thing, the bill represents
an honest and thoroughly constitutional de-
cision to restore to the coastal States what had
always been regarded as theirs before the "tide-
lands" debate began after the Second World
War. But now, at long last the controversy
with all its gross distortions-has come to an
end. Good radiance to it.

By Charles E. Trocewen

The female common sparrow not
only is good looking, in her quiet way,
as soft and nice little bird as one
could WISH but she is hardy. deter
mined, a good mother.
After all, when one has 35 children
a year, she may be forgiven for not
keeping too tidy nest.
The large number of sparrow babies
means that few of them, in the aver
age spring and summer, will not come
up to standard.
These are the fat ones. the culls.
They love bread, and this makes them
even fatter than ever.
So the householder who loves spar
rows will not put out bread in the sum-
mer. if he can find anything else to feed.
Put out ground meat, instead. Meat
is still high in price. but most persons
would do better to eat three fourths as
much as they do and give the other
fourth to the birds
A saucer of ground meat every day
will keep excess fairness away, not only
from the person who gives it, but also
from the sparrow children that eat it..
All paby birds have one baby food
insects and worms. Ground meat is the
nearest approach to these we can supply
the parents. which. taking nlbble
themselves, will find increased stamina
at time they need it most.

made clear. This is very useful
species; it feeds mostly upon deStruc-
tive rodents. According to the young
Havenners-who are most attractive
boys. by the way-there were the re-
mains of two rabbits in the nest. The
barred owl is fairly common bird in
the Washington area. 1t should not be
molested. 1 am glad to say that the
Havenner boys, when 1 saw them.
showed every disposition to restore
their young owl to the nest.
About the dog Although it is the
habit of birds of prey to kill their
quarry Immediately and not to fly
about with live and bucking cargo
your report stated that the dog was
"unhurt," indicating that a miracle
had passed in its favor. But the true
extent of the miracle does not emerge
from your account. Those of your
readers who perhaps suffered distress
from your picture of the little animal
being borne aloft screeching" will be
relieved to know that it came through
it's ordeal in the iron grip of those
needle-sharp talons without so much
as visible scratch to show what it had
suffered!

Eagles MoIiqned

Recently The Star gave considerable
prominence to a story of some boys
whose dog was captured by an eagle"
and who in rescuing their pet from the
predators nest, came home with one
of its young.
Whenever any one who cares about
wildlife sees the word eagle in news
paper headline, he always winces. He
knows what is coming. An eagle has
attacked child. An eagle has snatched
a lamb from a farmers arms-or a
heifer. Investigation always explodes
these stories. but the truth never
catches up with them More hostility
is created toward these maligned birds
of prey and the difficulties of obtain
ing needed legislation to protect them
are increased
In your story it was obvious to begin
with that no eagles were involved
Washington is fortunate in that the
lower Potomac is one of the few sites
left in the East where bald eagles nest
However, there are no eagles nesting
in the vicinity of Tysons Corner.
The nesting brought home by the
Havenner boys. found upon calling
at their house. was an owl-apparently

totalitarianism" and that the Eisen-
hover administration lis hopelessly,
dismally. fatally torn and rent within
itself" 1t is obvious from such classic
examples of political demagoguery that
the Stevenson speech had two primary
purposes: ta) To make whipping boy
of the Nations leading foe of commu-
nism in the hope that the disgraceful
Harry Dexter White affair will be for
gotten. and (b) to give a Shot in the
arm to the illusion that the Republican
Party is hopelessly split. 1t may be
safely predicted that Mr.. Stevenson and
his party will be sadly disappointed.
The best answer to Mr.. Stevensons
diatribe is just plain nuts"
Frank r. Kent on March accurately
forecast the giSt of the Stevenson
speech when he said: Probably this
claptrap about the captainless ship and
the leaderless Nation will keep straight
on through tonight when the holy and
jocular Adlai Stevenson climaxes week
of Democratic propaganda designed to
show how Gen. Ike has made mess
of cleaning up the mess. And, as al
ways, the noble Adlai will make neat
but ineffective job of it. But. as always.
when somebody pulls the string. the
whole package comes apart and there
is nothing in it but lot of used words
fitted in the new egghead way"

undoubtedly has been change Of emphasis in
our defense planning and preparations. But
even if this change could be defined precisely
and in detail, it ought not to be done unless we
wish to give information of great value to the
enemy. Furthermore, it probably is no more
possible to give an exact definition Of the new
look" than it would be for the President to tell
us now exactly what he would do in the future
to deal with some new aggression. No one can
know exactly what the years ahead will bring,
and, consequently, no one can give detailed
accounting of the means which will be invoked
to deal with coming events. Whether we
like it or not, these are matters which must be
largely entrusted to the good faith and sound
judgment of our highest officials. The basic
questions involved certainly are not such as can
be satisfactorily resolved through partisan at
tack and counterattack.

Stevenson's Language

~
In answer to Dumb Voter" and his
criticism of Stevenson's oratory. think
it very stimulating indeed to have an
American in our midst who has such
an excellent command of the English
language as does Adlai E. Stevenson.
Americans in general are VIGOROUSLY
inefficient in the use of their mother
tongue. Their vocabulary at times seems
limited to "okay'' and fine" It is prob
ably through an understandable inferi-
GRITTY complex that Dumb Voter" con-
siders Mr.. StevenSon'S use of phrases
like brewing miaSma of anti-intel-
lectualism" and themselves emulating
Communist methods in their assaults
on higher education" as being too
"highbrow" to reach the pitiful linguis
tic level Of the average American lis
tener.
Maybe this attitude is justified. If
so, it Is a sorry state Of affairs in
country where higher percentage of
the population than in any other ma
ton in the world attends advanced
educational institutions.
Mr.. Stevenson should be thanked for
trying to elevate us all to his oratori
