No More KIP?
Maybe, Says AT

T Sgt. Matt Salopek, in charge of
local Air Force recruiting an
nounced today that there may be
good news in store for many young
men of Port Clinton and area who
are contemplating service with the
Air Force.
Although definite results will
not be available until sometime
next year the Air Force has none
the less taken experimental steps
to eliminate the enlisted mans
scourge -. KIP.
The Air Force inaugurated this
new year-long experiment to de-
termine if civilian food services
can prepare and serve military ra-
tions more attractively at reduced
costs.
No estimates are available on
how much money the Air Force
expects to save on this move if
proved satisfactory Sgt. Salopek
said. However, the benefits as a
morale builder for enlisted per-
sonnel would be immeasurable he
added.
Main reasons for the experiment
include ending the need for taking
extensively trained and highly
important technicians away from
the specialties every few weeks.
The experiment is being con-

Fortunately, we have not yet run the

many foreboding parallels to the early

of Communists is again being used as q

BETHESDA.
Dear Sir:
For the past months We have been
enjoying rare treat. A male Baltimore
oriole adopted us just before Christmas
and has been constant visitor to our
feeding tray ever since.
LAS the tray is only a few feet from
the kitchen door. attached to the porch
rail. we have had a very good oppor-
tunity to watch this beauty, and we
have learned some Of his characters
tics. He is interesting to watch as he
eats. He selects tidbit, then takes it
to the edg Of the tray, or to nearby
evergreen hedge, and proceeds to eat
it. holding it with one foot as he picks
it apart with his beak.
HE especially likes the raisins we
feed him. They are juicy and tender
because we keep them in a jar, and
moisten them with water overnight for
the next days feeding.
1--WE find that Orrie, as we call him,
is fearless He has earned our respect,
too. because he is the only guest at our
feeder who can keep the mocker away
from it for as long as he wishes to stay
there himself. Aggressive Mockie po-
litely waits!
During the heavy snow storms we
attached a small tray to the crossbar
Of the screen door.
I'VE wondered if Orrie would come

us it unusual for an oriole to winter
here? Our bird books say that he
migrates to the tropics. And we have
never had one before, winter or sum-
mer, in the Is years we have been feed
ing birds. He seems to have chosen a
severe winter to stay in this vicinity.
Sincerely, B. B."
Sometimes the male towhee is mis-
taken for an oriole.
Both are inches long and have COL
ored underpartS.
The towhee is more likely to come
to feeding station in winter. but since
the H bomb explosions almost anything
may happen in birdland.
This is because chain of mutation,
perhaps. may be created.
A mutation is the appearance Of a
new hereditary character.
The idea that birds will undergo
mutation has no scientific standing, we
assume, but it is interesting to Specu-
ulate on it, anyway
Speculation does no harm, may do
some good,
Changes in bird life might herald
changes in human life.
These things take time It is inter-
esting to read that a Japanese child

the A bomb went of at Hiroshima.

requirements Of his job. Important Republic
can Senators were disappointed because the
Secretary did not seem quite to know the score.
He was reniss in this, and bumbling In that.
And so the story went.
The Secretary of State who emerges after
more than year in the post, however, is quite
a different person. He has done an outstanding
job. But there still are those who snipe at him.
as is witnessed by some of the snide comments
attributed to unidentified Senators after Mr.
Dulles returned from Berlin. In view of this,
1t is the more gratifying that the President has
had few nice words to say about his Secretary
of State. General Eisenhower told his press
conference that he knows of no man who could
have done better at Berlin than Mr.. Dulles in
representing the best interests of the United
States in the most confused and trying of cir
cumstances. He added that we are fortunate
to have such man at the head of the State
Department.
This is high praise. There is abundant
reason to believe, however that it is justified

CONGRESS Good to Itself
Student.

Could it be that the conscience Of
Congress has become SO calloused that
it cannot readily comprehend the vast
difference between the benefits it votes
itself and those doled out to the rank
and-file employee? That some Congress-
men believe that it is more blessed to
take than to give is borne out by the
latest. cases of payroll padding.
We all noticed the speed with which
the gentlemen raided the retirement
fund to hand themselves q pension
much in excess of that to which the
employe is entitled, although both con-
tribute the same per cent. No quibbl-
ing, no hearings, no delay here.
Now contrast that with pay raise
for the Government employe. AS soon
as Congress conveneS, the same old
hocus pocus begins. The newspapers
report through their Government col
umns that all members are practically
unanimous in declaring for decent
raise. Then the hopper Is filled with
bills, not many of which are honestly
drawn up but are sops to unions and
others. From the 81 900 or $500 which
is originally mentioned, the amount is
reduced as the session progresses until
it gets down to figure slightly in ex-
cess of practically nothing.
The haggling goes on. the suspense
builds up as days turn into weeks and
weeks into months. No quick vote here.
The object is to stall, have hearings,
assert and deny; to play with the SEN
sibilities of the several million employees
who make the Government tick; and
then an hour and half before ad-
journment vote a raise" which is
hardly more than handful of crumbs.
A Congressman gets $4,000. A. 3 per
cent raise would give him $3.50 Can
any one conceive of Congressman voting
themselves $3.50? And yet they haven't
the slightest conjunction in giving 3
pcl cent to the Federal employee. whose
salary averages probably not more than
one-third that of a Congressman.
I suggest that the chaplains Of the
Senate and House read to the members
the Sermon on the Mount which, sum-
married, means do unto others as you
would have them do unto you"

The oriole is a hang-neSt builder.
The nest hangs from a limb, usually
stretched out over the garden, and is
dashed to the branch with cords, chosen
by the female and intertwined by her
with scientific accuracy as to stresses
and strains The nest seldom falls. I'M
less with the whole limb. Once in our
yard a pair of orioles deserted their
nest right after it had been completed.
A week later the limb split off from
the tree in a thunderstorm and fell
with great crash. We always thought
that the birds must have had .
premonition of this disaster.

Fishing Troubled Waters

Your editorial, Fishing in Troubled
Waters" seems hardly fair to Mr.. Ste
venson and his Miami speech. Could it
not be that his speech was something
more than an attempt to reap partisan
benefit from the embarrassment which
afflictS the Republican Party?
It ill-behooves The Star-which has
courageously opposed only crime and
temporary buildingS-to assume pa
tronizing attitude toward Mr.. Steven
son, especially since the Gallup Poll
shows many more Americans to favor
Mccarthy than oppose him. Your own
conservative columnist, Gould Lincoln.
has characterized Stevenson's Miami
speech as politically unwise.
Very few members of either political
party have had the courage to come out
as vigorously against McCarthyism as
Mr.. Stevenson did in Miami. While it is
politically less dangerous for him to be
fortnight than for President Eisen-
hover to be SO. Mr.. Stevenson has none
theless shown crusading spirit against
McCarthyism which The Star-as well
as President Eisenhower-would do we'll
to emulate.
