@. Is it a fact that women
can more readily teach para
keets to talk than men CAM
D. w.
A. Although experts believe
that anyone can teach these
birds to talk, women do have
an advantage over men In this
respect. A parakeet finds it
easier to initiate their higher
pitched voices, which produce
clearer. more definite sounds.
@. Is it safe for a young per-
son to learn to drive In an
automatic transmission carp
F. L. M.
A. Many driving teachers
say it is, and some think that
a driver is likely to learn more
quickly and easily II the car
has automatic transmission.
However. sooner or later the
operation Of o manually con-
trolled gearsiiift must b

For Tronsit Strike Bon

has jolted the public into a
realization that repeated hikes
in wages of bus drivers in
evitably mean higher fares for
the bus and car riders. In the
early days of the labor union
movement in this country the
sympathy Of the public was
always with the strikers. Now
the unions have grown so
strong and their demands so
great that they are likely to
ALLEVIATE the public good will
toward them.

per day. and the distance
from her home in Southwest
Washington to my home does
not exceed 6 miles. However,
few workers have their fares
paid for them, and 80 cents
is quite a slice out of a days
pay. Forty or fifty cents would
be nearer the proper mark.
The welfare of the masses
Of the people should be deemed
paramount and strikes in pub

streetcars, electric service.

More parking space at a

The public would welcome the
removal of streetcars and the
devotion of the space now oc-
cupied by the tracks to park

yards would provide space
for thousands of automobiles.

.Turninq the Cheek

In its recent editorial COM
ment on the Presidents Amer
ican Bar Association speech.
The Star said: "And he urged
our allies not to let their eager
ness to avoid war draw them
toward outright or implicit
agreement that injustices and
wrongs Of the present shall be
maintained In the future. To
do any such thing as this. Mr..
Eisenhower said. would be to
outrage our own conscience.
In the eyes Of those who suffer
injustice, we would become
partners Of their oppressors.
Surely, there could be no
more accurate statement of
what our political leaders have
been doing during the past 10
years. Let's consider some Of
the "injustices and wrongs"
which we have tolerantly and
complacently suffered:
The Communist tyrant Tito
shot down American planes
and murdered American SOL
diers: he was rewarded with
billions Of dollars Of economic
andt military aid which he is
still getting. American soldiers
were arrested on trumped-up
charges and imprisoned in the
bandit jails Of a seventh-rate
power like Hungary: we paid
ransom money to get them out.
In April. 1860. Soviet fighter
planes shot down a U. s. Navy
plane over the Baltic Sea, kill
ing 10 Americans; the United
States Government protested.
November. 1851, Soviet planes
shot down q U. s. P2V over the
Japanese Sea: the entire Amer
ican crew was lost; the United
States Government protested.
october. 1852. Soviet fighters
shot down a U. S. B-29 OF the
Kurile Islands; eight Ameri-
cans were lost: the United
States Government protested.
July, 1858. Soviet planes shot
down a United States plane of
Siberia: Is Americans were
lost: the United States Gov
ernment protested. Septem-
ber, 1854. Soviet planes shot
down a U. s. Navy fighter of
Siberia; one American lost; the
United States Government
protested. November. 1854. So
Wet plane shot down a q. s.
B-29 of Kurile Islands; one
American lost: the United
States Government protested.
August, 1855, Chinese Commu-
mist planes shot down an u1-
armed American plane in Ko-
rea: one American killed, one
wounded: the United States
Government protested.
In all instances our protests
brought nothing but insulting
replies. In November. 1854.
when President Eisenhower
was asked to comment on all
this. he expressed high hopes
for peace because. in connec-
ton with the latest Soviet out
rage. the Soviet attitude had
been somewhat less insulting
than before. Even II Uncle Sam
has two heads and both Of
them are two-faced. he has
surely run out Of cheeks to
turn.
Our pusillanimous attitude
in the face Of repeated wrongs
hardly behooves us to offer
such advice to our "allies."
Can there be any doubt that,
in our "eagerness to avoid
war;" in the words of MIR. Ell
senhower. we have become
partners with their oppres-
sors."
