Although the postal pay legislation is

is no good reason to delay congressional
action on bills to increase the pay of classi-

non-postal workers, therefore, that the
House Civil Service Committee has decided

FOREST OF HOWLING DEMONS

The champion noisemaker
Of the Rancho Grande reserve
is el araguato, the red howler.
1t is a creature about the size
of a collie with a reddish coat.
black face. red beard, and
fearSome-looking teeth. 1t
possesses in its throat an.ivory
voice box by which the sound
of its bowling is magnifled so
that it will carry at least 3
miles over the high treetops.
All members of a howler FAM
lily, perhaps 100 or more, start
bowling in chorus.
This chorus is especially
notable at dawn. when the
shroud of mist has cleared
from the jungle. There is
nearly always, however. a
lesser version of it at dusk
and it is likely to be heard
at any time during the day
if a family is alarmed or dis
turbed in its migrations.
through the high treetops. The
howler is almost exclusively
a creature of the forest can
opy.
Far less conspicuous than
the red howlers are the white
faced capuchins, the organ
grinders monkeys of north
ern street corners. and the
dainty, gentle little marmo-
sets which scramble among
the branches.
Dwarf Deer in Hiding
Mammal life is abundant in
the shrouded jungle but, for
the most part, quite incon-
spicuous compared to that of
birds and insects. The NAM
mails, beset by many enemies
and never reaching any great
size, necessarily are quite Sc
elusive. They are in constant
danger of determination.
Survival has become espe-
cially difficult for the venado,
or dwarf deer. This gentle,
defenseless creature, the size
Of a large dog, almost GER
tainly would have disappeared
long ago were it not for the =
rigid restrictions against hunt
ing it, for its flesh is espe-
cially PRICED. Now the dwarf
deer have retired to the re-
moter recesses of the shrouded
jungle. There they are
known to survive, although
nobody has seen one for a long
time. One of this deer's Pc
culiarities Is that it re-
quires seven years to reach
maturity.

and political authorities have been in sub
Stantial accord on the urgency Of an in
creased program in that area and as to
its chances for success. Pro-WeStern
spokesmen Of the countries involved have
supported that position. There has been,
however, considerable congressional SEN
timent for reducing our expenditures
abroad and presidential requests have
been trimmed down in each of the past
two years. In this instance, the President
has made forceful case for the "inter-
woven self-interest" in the mutual security
effort, and 1t deserves the most careful
consideration by Congress.

The afternoon nap has fallen into
disrepute, more from diSuse than from
criticism. One is not an important world
figure, and so cannot forsake all else for
nap to refresh ones self for the tasks
ahead Neither the time nor the place
presents itself.
One recalls the stern dictum of an
earlier time, when grandfather was not to
be disturbed as he stretched out in the
parlor for his afternoon nap. Even the
iceman hammering at the back door and
demanding that his bill be paid had to
await another day. There was no atomic
cloud pushing urgently up from the South
west to disturb grandfathers DOING, no
need to keep abreast of the latest hap
penings in Pakistan. After his nap, grand
father was ready for long evening hours,
tinkering with this and that.
But there are no more parlors, and If
there were, slipcovers would not be per-
mitted place to relax. Horsehair, too, is
gone, and today's fabrics are not receptive
to shoes. In these busy times, revival Of
the afternoon nap is needed. One some
times yearns to be as vigorous as Davy
Crockett, as dashing as Latin lover, but
who can be dashing or vigorous without
sieSta?
An hour of sleep before dinner would
do much to restore good humor to the
head Of the house-if there weren't grass
to be cut, report cards to be signed, broken
wagons to be mended, people to be told
what happened at the Office today, disci-
pline to be meted out, pound of coffee to
be brought from the corner store, and a
check-book balance to be stretched. The
fact that one becomes indispensable when
these tasks are at hand holsters ones sense
Of Importance but does nothing to stem
the feeling of drowsiness. nap is needed.

In the controversy over the

that the main point has been
lost. These musicians were

is in such terms that we
must judge them. Yes, they
included some men who had
been Nazis; and, true, the
Nazis committed horrible
crimes during the war. I can
understand the hostility many
people still feel, especially
those whose friends and fam
lily were butchered. But mu-

HENRI PTTT1ER NATION
AL PARK, Venezuela - Night
comes to the Shrouded jungle
with the fiuttering of millions
Of black wings. They swoop
through the white mist. They
strike against windowpanes.
They emerge from their day
light slumber in the damp,
dark, haunted corridors of
the half-built medieval fort
ress. These are the black
wings of bats. There are black,
gray, brown and, it has been
reported, almost pure white
bats which achieve in the mist
almost complete invisibility.
The dank mountain forest
contains few species but vast
numbers of these ghoulish
creatures. They come from
their daytime hiding places
largely to feed on nectar from
the innumerable Towering
trees. Some, like their fellows
everywhere, are primarily in
sect eaters. They themselves
are the victims of one fero-
ciouS hawk which feeds ex-
clusively upon them.
There as yet has been only
superficial observation of the
Rancho Grande bats as they
have happened to come across
the paths of naturalists study

noctural creatures, their ways
Of life are especially difficult
to study and nobody knows
with certainty the hideouts
where they sleep during the
day. Presumably. there are
deep caves in the high hills
and recesses in the dense jun

The letter by Catherine

a wrong solution.

Proud White Man.

The Star of April Is printed
an editorial entitled. Proud
White Man" The subject is
the statement of Montgomery
County's superintendent of
schools, Forbes H. Norris, to
parent-teacher association
meeting of the Montgomery
Hill Junior High School on in
tegration, that he is proud
that he is a white man."
I believe the editorial re-
quires an answer from me,
since The Stars news story
on the meeting described me as
frequent questioner" of DR..
Norris.
The editorial suggests that
DR.. Norris may have made the
remark because "he was being
heckled by questions" The
facts are otherwise. DR.. Norris
was not subject to heckling.
Questions put to DR.. Norris by
the writer were made neces-
sary by the fact that DR.. Nor
ris spoke on ''The Educational
Aspects of Integration," and
in his speech dwelt on al
legged negative aspects of in
tegration. He wholly ignored
the positive aspects Of an in
tegrated school system. In any
event. there was certainly no
heckling when DR.. Norris made
his statement. It came in
answer to questions from one
who was well disposed to DR..
Norris approach and was OPP
posed to the County PTA
Council Integration Commit
tees recommendation for an
integrated school system in
the fall of 1855.
The questioner sought to
elicit from DR.. Norris the view
point of anthropologists re-
garding race equality. DR..
Norris first replied that he
thought they found no diff
ference in the races. Not
satisfied with the reply, the
questioner continued. Aren't

thropologists who hold the
view that the races are not
equal? To this DR.. Norris re-
piled that anthropologists can
be found who hold that view.

LoqicdI Decision

The Commissioners acted logically in
deciding to recommend against the sub
Stitution of tunnel for the proposed
Constitution. avenue bridge across the Po-
tomac River. The District Highway De-
partment had explored the tunnel posi-
bilities before concluding that bridge
should be built. That conclusion had been
Endorsed by the Commissioners when they
urged Congress to authorize a bridge in
the central area. And Congress had given
the decision legal force when 1t supposedly
ended the bridge-site controversy by ap-
proving span along the line of Constitu-
tion avenue. It is hard to see how the
Commissioners could have justified
change Of heart toward the tunnel idea
at this late date-especially since little
new in support Of the tube plan has been
advanced by its supporters.
The decision to stand pat on the bridge
program came on the eve of Highway
Director RobertSon's appearance at the
Capitol in behalf of request for So million
with which to start building the bridge.
Planning already had been started with
S400,000 appropriation voted last year by
SOllSlCSS. IL WUulu Ildfc d
persuasive tunnel argument to warrant a
reversal of official attitude at the District
Building toward the under-river crossing
proposal.
The tunnel is being pushed by the
Fine Arts Commission and park officials
on esthetic grounds. The National Capital
Planning Commission is willing to back
either tunnel or bridge. But the tunnel
would cost an estimated $28 million more
than the bridge, drawback that should
be of great interest to the Budget Bureau.
If the Federal Government should be will
ing to assume the extra cost, the fiscal
factor would lose Importance as far as
the District is concerned. Even so, there
would still be engineering problems to be
solved. But the whole decision is probably
one for Federal executive and legislative
action-not for further District considera-
ton.
