dent. but what does one find? Usually,
and 1t is too bad, that the other party
really isn't interested.
So wags the world away.
The black cat has long tradition,
not always associated with i'll fortune,
as the superstition has it, but often
enough with good fortune.
There is something elemental about
the all-black Egyptian cat. Common
cats are called Egyptian, to distinguish
them from Persian. Abyssinian, Siamese
or Thailand)
1t will be found, in most cases, that
only one cat out of ten is real bird
catcher, and often as not he is all
black.
He viii give all cats, then, an evil
reputation for bird catching. Actually,
the average cat. even when allowed to
roam, probably doesn't catch more than
half dozen birds year.
Many house pets simply bunker down
and watch the birds. They know, from
prior attempts. that their chances of
catching one are not very good.
Repeated statements that every cat
catches 400 birds q year" are nothing
but the sheereSt hokum. When thrown
on nature for food. cats much prefer
rodents of various kinds, including the
proverbial rats and mice.
"All these feathers!" says Tabby, in
disgust. And after you get through
them, what have you got?"

The lady was having cat trouble.
A family had moved next door with
q big black one, a real bird catcher.
and the eternal conflict started.
The lady, Mrs. A., let US call her, had
been feeding and watching the birds
for years.
She had several feeding stations and
two bird baths.
One by one she dismantled and put
the baths away. as the black cat went
on its rampage.
Now she is about ready to pun In
the feeding stations and call the whole
thing off.
What can do?'
That is what she wanted to know,
and what could one tell her?
The thing that the small town people
do. when cat caught their chickens.
the lady would not even consider. OF
course.
The next thing, to pop at it with an
air rifle, she couldn't do, either, because
she had no air gun.
The suggestion OF . puppy to guard
the birds left her rather cold.
Wouldn't this pantherlike cat eat up
the pup on one gulp?
No, it was suggested, because cats.

Very, Very Remarkable

Texas, which prides itself on being SUI
percoloSsal in practically everything, now
can lay claim to having produced by far the
nnightiest atomic particle ever detected by
man. That is to say, it can lay claim to the
fact that on the top of its atmosphere
100000 feet above it's fabulous Soil-photo-
graphic plates have recorded evidence OF
what appears to have been an "anti-proton"
or "negatron" moving in from outer space
at speed-energy rate equivalent to 10
million billion volts.
To put it mildly, this is supremely
fantastic amount of force. BY way of COM
parison, it is SO million times more power
full than the energy released by a f1ssioning
atom in modern, up-to-date A-bomb. And
If it could be corralled, If the "negatron"
negative proton) could be produced in
quantity by man, there would then be
available the means to annihilate the whole
earth-erase it, reduce it to literal nothing
ness-in flash lasting but a fraction of
second. At any rate, so say some of the
scientific spectators.
Happily, however, such prospect, ac-
cording to those who know most about the
subject, need not be worried about. For
the type of particle that visited over Texas
last understanding that it was really
"negatron" or "anti-proton" of nature
that apparently def1es large-scale capture"
or duplication by man. Perhaps atom
smashing machines can produce it in infin-
itesimal quantities, but the experts seem
generally agreed upon the impoSSibility Of
gathering enough of the stuff in one place
to destroy the world. DR.. Marcel Schein,
who is to be credited with having discov-
cred the phenomenon in a high-altitude
balloon project sponsored by the ONCE of
Naval Research, is among those who would
reassure everybody on that score.
Actually, as explained by Dr. Schein--
a specialist in cosnic-ray work at the Uni
versity of Chicago-his apparent detection
OF the "negatron" (his qualified report does
not constitute final proof) is primarily sig
nificant because it seems ID to have con-
firmed the long-suspected existence of this
awesome particle and (2) to have placed it
within the range of mans direct observa-
ton. In other words, the great promise
implicit in the finding is that it may en-
able science to solve the atoms remaining
mysteries.
That is why DR.. ]. Robert oppenheimer,
one of the worlds ablest physicists, has
hailed the development as very, very re-
markable event" that may give man the
key to some of natures innermoSt secrets
and thus open up a vast new area Of knowl-
edge that could be of immense benefit to
peoples everywhere. Accordingly, with a

Oppressed America

An item in your Haskin column
recently contained the enlightening
information that about 100000 Ameri-
can families headed by laborers have
annual incomes of over $500. To
bear this out, more or less, the next
day q news story told of $4,000
American dollars being left by Rus
sian citizen who had worked in New
York as a common laborer before his
death. All of which reminds me Of
a tale:
A Communist Party official sat at
his Moscow desk, drumming angrily
with his fingers. He was not amused
It had been a full year since he had
dispatched his sharpest organizer, Com
rade Petrov, to bring the word to the
stupid Americans - to sell them the
party linei But Comrade Petrov had
not come through with single report,
not even q hint of success.
Through the underground Comrade
Petrov learned of his superior's anger.
Quaking in his stout American made
shoes. he began his long-overdue report:

assignment is the most difficult of my

impossible it is to reach the down.

The So-called Auchincloss bill, to per-
nit an inStallment-plan purchase of new
Government buildings in the Southwest
Washington redevelopment area, proposes
a number of interesting and laudable OBJ
jectives
The proposal follows the general philos-
ophy Of the Federal lease purchase bill en-
acted by Congress last week, and might well
supplement it. AS yet, there is no clear-cut
indication OF how big share the Capital
will have in leaSe-purchase. Under the
Auchincloss bill, any new Federal buildings
would have to fit into the promising plan
to clear slurnS and rebuild the Southwest.
1t also proposes definite replacement of UNI.
slightly tempos still marring the Mall.
Generally, the bill would authorize the
city'S Redevelopment Land Agency to sell
to the General Services Administration such
land south of independence avenue as
might be needed for new Office buildings.
GSA then would enter contracts with pri-
vate constructors of the buildings, providing
for long-term leases and eventual Federal
ownership. For each building put up, an
equivalent amount of temporary building
space would be demolished.
The measure also suggests the possible
ton buildings in the area For the private
investors in new Office buildings, the bill
suggests a liberal tax-free provision. Until
title to them vested in the United States
GSA would pay the District certain amounts
In lieu of taxes. Because of such benefits
and the prospect of monumental setting
for nearby private residential and COM
mercial construction, the New York firm Of
Webb & Knapp-which wants to handle the
redevelopment job - is vigorously behind
the bill.
Obviously, detailed mechanics of such a
far-reaching program would have to be
worked out in great detail. Congress right
ly can be expected to put each provision of
the bills first draft under close scrutiny.
But even at this late date in the session, it
warrants the close attention it is getting
from members of the House Public Works
Committee.

to go to court, under the migratory bird

No. that wouldn't do, either, 1t would

probably would.)
Well. then, that left things about
where they were at first
The happy songbirds, feeding and
bathing, the raiding cat. the unhappy
situation in fun force.
Most often such matters end that
way.
Every one expects some magic out
Of hat to end such situations when
actually there is not much one can do,
except grin and bear it. or not grin and
bear it.
Liberal doses of cold water, thrown
out of tumbler with unerring aim,
have at times accomplished wonders.
The trouble with this grand strategy
is that one must be very close to the
animal.
It requires more patience and time
than most persons have to give to such
matters. Following around after q cat,
or lying IN wait for it. runs counter to
the main principle Of feeding the Wild
birds, which is happiness.
Lying in wait, striking and maybe
hurting an animal. is not really what
one wants to do
That the other party should do some
thinking and planning. too. Is very evil
