This and That !.

this is the case Of q pair Of summer
tanagers, which for three successive
years nested in the yard Of w. s. r.,
Assistant Secretary Of State for Far
Eastern Affairs, in Richmond, Va.
"a remarkable thing about this pair
Of birds Is that the male was quite
friendly and readily came down from
the treetops and took food from the
hands of the ar" family. A summer
tanager is not common in this latitude
and also is a rather shy bird. Why the
male was so fearless is o mystery.
Last summer the tanagers failed to
return and the "R's" concluded that one
Of the pair, at least. had met with some
tragic end. It now appears that this
was not the case. for the writer has just
learned from s. z. B., local invest
ment broker, that pair Of summer
tanagers nested last summer in the
yard Of his sister. Mrs. e. T. p. in the
town Of Brookneal. Va, which is about
rs miles from Richmond, and that from
the outset the male was quite tame
and readily fed from the hand.
within the past few weeks what
apparently are the same pair Of tanagers
have returned to Brookneal and are
nesting In the same place. I say they
are the same pair, because the male
Is undoubtedly the same bird that spent
three summers with the FRS" and Is
now summering for the second time In
Broohneal, and he Is still quite tame
and friendly and appears to have no
fear Of human beings.

Thomas Moore Exhibition

The current exhibition Of books and manu-
scripts of Thomas Moore at the Library Of Con-
gress serves to restore his name to the high
place it occupied in the history Of letters prior
to our present "age of confusion" He was
indeed "the national poet" Of Ireland before
Ireland was free nation. But he also was q uni
versal man, an artist with ideas Of unlimited
scope. His active career ran through half q
century Of unremitting labor, during which time
he reflected not only his beloved native country
but likewise ancient Greece, England, France
and much of the rest Of Europe, the Near and
the Far East.
Granting that he relied upon his imagina-
tion for details when he wrote Of distant for
eign lands, the fact remains that his apprehen--
sion Of their spirit justified his representations
He was an excellent scholar. equipped with
profound capacity for perception and for logic
The sensitivity Of his work Is one Of its most
impressive qualities. In the Library show his

How Russions Spell

A recent article in The Star quoted
the Soviet Encyclopedia on the subject
Of "Baltimor." It was supposed to be
funny, guess, and convey the idea that
the Russians do not even know how to
spell, at least not American words.
Actually, since Russia uses the Cyril
lie alphabet, foreign words have to be
transliterated and that is usually done
Theoretically. If the sc" had been re-
tanned in the Cyrillic spelling, the word
Baltimore would have been pronounced
Baltimore" by the Russians reading
it. So the "e" is dropped, since it is a
silent letter.
Russians can smile, too, when we
have to use IL letters to achieve an
imitation of the name "Tschaikowsky,"
which they spell in nine letters.
Disparaging foreign attempts to cope
with our highly unphonetic English
only makes us look silly. We may not
approve Of the Russian method Of gov
ernment, but there is no point trying
to pretend they are bunch Of igno-
ramuses. A. v. L.

Rookh," his memoirs Of Sheridan and Byron

original letters, adds up to an engaging portrait
of q rare personality.
What interests visitors to the exhibition
most. however. is the display Of Moore,s songs.
The list includes such perennial favorites as
'Tis the Last Rose Of Summer" Believe Me,
# All Those Endearing Young Charms" "The

THE Harp That Once Through Tara's Halls"
To have been responsible for even one of these

Dear Sir:

"Dear Sir:
I'VE have several wild cottontail
rabbits in our grounds here. They were
here when the house was built IL years
ago, and they are still here, in spite OF
the fact that the neighborhood has
grown quite built up. We like them
around, even though the neighbors
warned us they would eat up our garden.
However, the rabbits haven't
bothered the garden, much to our sur
prise. But recently we set out some
tomato plants, as we always do. and
in day or so we noticed some Of them
were bitten on right close to the ground
some we're missing entirely, and others
had most of the leaves gone. Reluc-
family we concluded the rabbits were
guilty.
Fortunately. however, I just hap
pened to see starting pull up tomato
plant. A pair of starlings had nest
in q flicker box we had put up on q
tree in the garden. So we looked in
the nest. and found the missing tomato
plants neatly woven in.

and we have made another entry in our
notebook Of bird behavior.

There are still different races; the
court did not attempt to wipe out
color and other racial characteristics.
The federation does not believe that
something which has been in effect
for generations can be eliminated over
night without resentment. and the
court must have, agreed since it sched-
uled hearings on method for next fall.
If any great degree of cooperation is
to prevail. the full decision of the court
must be accepted. including participa-

not possible to integrate first and then
participate.

Since the Supreme Court Justices
have assumed autocratic and dictatorial
power over Congress, we might just as
well stop electing and paying Con-

Under the guise Of interpreting the
Constitution, this judicial group has
assumed legislative powers and beyond.
Obviously. the justices feel they are
empowered to impose far-reaching and
involuntary changes at will, notable
example being their banning Segrega-

only did this. among many other of
their previous infamous rulings, take
away the rights Of our legislative branch

Step in WRONG Direction

Among the Senate-approved transit re-
forms now pending in the House Is one that
ought to be given more careful consideration
than the Senate as body, gave it. This is the
proposal empowering the District Public Utilities
Commission to control the payment of dividends
by local public service corporations This would
be a drastic extension of the commissions
regulatory authority and one that would put
the foot Of governmental control well into the
doorway of private management.
It may be that Washington's transit diff
culties eventually will become so acute that
public ownership and operation will be inevi-
table. That is development however, that
should be resisted as long as possible public
ownership and operation of transit facilities
have never solved any city's transit problems
Any step, Willingly or unwittingly, toward that
unhappy end ought to be guarded against in
the District. The Payne subcommittee bill to
regulate utility dividends is certainly step in
the wrong direction.
The measure, as everybody knows, was aimed
primarily at the Capital Transit Company's
happy-go-lucky dividend policies. But the
measure applies also to all public utilities in
Washington. The Public Utilities Commission
has the responsibility of regulating rates and
services of these utilities in the interest of the
public. But the right of the utilities to fair
rate Of return and to distribute the earnings
among their stockholders has been unques-
toned. The proposed legislation not only would
give the commission the authority to fix the
rate of return but to control the use of that
return. That would project the commission
into management sector that every utility
would have cause to resent.
This unwise bill cleared the Senate with
Q minimum of discussion, on recommendation
Of the Payne subcommittee. It is to be hoped
the House will subject the measure to close
committee scrutiny. If that is done, the poten-
tial dangers of such an extension Of Public
Utility Commission authority should become
apparent and the bill will meet the fate 1t
deserves pigeonhole

The Bennington Disaster

It is small comfort to the injured and the
bereaved to know that the u. s. s. Bennington
tragedy might have been worse but for fire.
prevention and control lessons learned on the
proving grounds of war; Several war damaged
carriers probably could have survived their
initial wounds had they been equipped with the
automatic and semiautomatic fre-fghting de-
vices which later became standard equipment
on the big ships The Lexington, for example,
succumbed to fires famed and fed by fuel and
ventilating systems not designed to combat
the spread of flames. The Bennington's heroic
crew apparently had no great dif1culty in
confining her fires to the immediate area Of the
mysterious blasts near the wardroom. Other
wise the loss of life might have been much
greater.
Admiral Carney, Chief of Naval Operations,
shares the bewilderment of other high naval
officers over the origin of the two or three
explosions which killed more than 80 men and
wounded more than 200 during a routine peace
time cruise. AS long as the cause remains un-
determined, the possibility of sabotage cannot
be discounted, of course. But there are so many
potentially dangerous materials aboard a ship
Of war, especially carrier Of planes and
equipment using highly combustible liquids, that
accidents of many sorts could happen. One
small explosion easily could set OF chain

official board Of inquiry to solve the mystery
Of the Bennington's explosions, but the Navy
may be expected to do its best to find the
cause or causes, as matter Of self-protection
In the future.
Meanwhile, the Nation joins with relatives
and friends in mourning the loss of so many
men serving as protectors of free peoples every

their courageous and effective rescue efforts

Recognizing a Threat

It is clear that Communist activity in Qua
temala is threat to the security of the Amer
icas which is causing serious concern in our
State Department.
Certainly it is right that this concern should
be felt, for an out-and-out satellite Communist
state in Central America would be in position
to spread evil in all directions on the north and
south continents. And while Guatemala for q
long time has been less than good neighbor
and plainly has shown the imprint Of Commu-
mist influence the brazen buying of ornaments
from behind the Iron Curtain has served to
emphasize the threatening demeanor of that
government today. AS Secretary Dulles told his
news conference, the military strength of Qua
temala already is several times that of its
neighboring Central American states-and there
have been no threats to its security that require
a further build-up Of arms. Indeed the real
question now is whether Guatemala'S security
and its independence are not being taken from
it by the conspiratorial workings Of Communist.
Imperialism. @ xe
Mr.. Dulles was wise in noting that the Qua
temalan people as a whole are not Communists,
but that control is being exercised in the famil-
lar Communist manner through small and dil-
igent minority. Quite logically, the smaller
Latin American states are quick to react against
what may seem like meddling by the United
States and 1t had been reported in the past few
days that many non-C Communist and Amer
ican Guatemalans had been disturbed by the
impression that Washington was applying a
blanket condemnation to their country.
Mr.. Dulles has made clear that this is not
so, but he has made equally clear that further
movement toward Communist capture" Of
Guatemala-or any other American state-win
lead to quick and decisive counteraction, as pro-
vided by the Caracas resolution to which all
but Guatemala are signatories. It has been
adequately demonstrated in the past that there
is solidity in the inter American relationship
and there is no doubt that a strong front
would be mustered in any step necessary to
protect other parts of the hemisphere from
Red aggression.
It is greatly to be hoped, however. that the
tensions which have arisen between Guatemala
and its neighbors can be eased by peaceful
means.
