Old Union Enqine House

There seem to be legal complications
which might block any precipitate deci-
sion regarding the fate of the Old Union
Engine House, which for some 118 years
has stood at Nineteenth and H streets
NV. We hope there are. Certainly the
decision should not rest on the desir-
ability of tearing down the old building
in order to accommodate another office
building for the International Monetary
Fund. The decision should rest, with the
help of competent advice, on the desir-
ability of retaining this relic of an older
Washington. AS capable as it may be in
its field, we do not think the General
Services Administration should be the
sole Judge Of whether to retain or raze
the Old Union Engine House.
It would be desirable in this case If
the General Services Administration con-
suited the Commission of Fine Arts and
perhaps the National Trust for Historic
Preservation. The old flrehouse may
have no intrinsic architectural value.

Southwest Proqress

Although the Southwest redevelop-
ment program seems to be moving in the
lowest possible gear, it is, at least, max
Ing gradual Roadway, as one obstacle
after another is overcome. The latest
actions of the National Capital Planning
Commission, while falling short of what
the zeckendorf interests had hoped for,
will clear the way for great deal of
detailed planning for the overall prof.
ect. And the commissions suggestion
that the Smithsonian Institution look for
an Air Museum site elsewhere than In the
proposed South Mall should spur efforts
to f1nd more appropriate site than at
Tenth street
The agency's final approval of the
Area B plan means that this pioneer
slum-clearance and redevelopment I'M
dertaking will be all-residential Com
mercial facilities will be available only
In the adjoining redevelopment area, as
part Of the Zeckendorf project.
The commission, however, limited its
approval Of the Webb & Knapp program
to that part of it affecting land south of
the railroad tracks. The problem of
gateway to the Southwest, envisioned by
the Zeckendorf planners as a grand mall
along Tenth street, remains in the air,
because Of uncertainty over the Air Mu-
scum. But the commissions tentative
approval" Of the South Mall scheme still
stands. II the Smithsonian Institution
agrees to put the huge aviation exhibit
ton hall somewhere other than the mall,
the commissions tentative aDDrOVal of
the approach probably would be made
permanent.
We hope all parties concerned will
continue to work in close cooperation
with a view to solving the Air Museum
problem in way that will be satisfactory
to the Smithsonian Institution and to the
Zeckendorf firm. There is no reason to
believe that such solution Is either
impossible or unlikely.

Mr.. George of Georgia

It has been 80 years since Walter
George of Georgia first took his seat in
the Senate. Now he has announced that
he will be a candidate in 1856 for another
six-year term.
We do not believe anyone will doubt
that the venerable Chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee Che is II years
old) has served the people Of his State
and country with distinction. II any
thing, Georgias senior Senator has grown
in stature in Washington since he passed
the Biblical age 1t does not necessarily
follow, however, that Senator will COM
mand in his home State the same admira-
ton and esteem which are his on the
national stage. The teaching of political
experience is that absence may not make
the voters heart grow fonder.
Senator George is faced with the
prospect-though 1t is by no means a
certainty-that Herman Talmadge, an
able former Governor of Georgia, will run
against him in the Democratic primary.
without directly attacking the Senator.
Mr.. Talmadge has been stumping the
Georgia hinterlands, and II he decides
to make bid for the Senate he will be
q formidable opponent.
But Senator George has faced for
midable opposition before. Back In 1888,
because he had opposed the Supreme
Court packing" bill, the Senator was the
No. man on President Roosevelt's purge
list. The President. highly popular in
Georgia, campaigned openly for his own
hand-picked candidate. But Senator
George met this challenge head on, and
he won. Perhaps he can repeat that per-
Torrance If the need arises. We wish
him well.

Tiny tempest

The Tokyo board of education, SEEM
ingly more courageous than polite, has
decided to ban tiny teachers. Its rea-
soning is that women teachers under Ave
feet tall are apt to have trouble disciplin-
ing large children and that they can't
reach to the top of the familiar black
board. Furthermore, the little teachers
get lost in crowds and then the little
pupils get lost because they can't find the
little teachers.
AS far as it goes this reasoning may
be sound enough, but one suspects that
the members of the board of education
may have forgotten what their teachers
looked like when they-the members of
the board-were little pupils. For it may
be recalled, II one thinks back far enough,
that all neutrality-suspicious. when bent
upon iscipline-were quite tall enough.
AS for getting lost, they never did And
as for the top of the blackboard, nothing
could be written up there that couldn't
be written just as well lower down. In
the large world of small people going to
school there are many tall problems.
They should not be increased by requir-
ing all teachers to tower at least Ave feet
over desks occupied by tiny mischief
makers.

stage they fly into the forest
where the great majority Of
them are eaten by birds. When
the surviving ants light on q
tree, on the ground or on some
other object, the wings drop
on. Then they apparently
wander about aimlessly until
they come to an army ant trail
which they recognize by the
odor and follow it until they
come to the colony which has
made it. II this happens to be
a colony of their own relatives.
they probably are killed by the
workers. If it happens to be
an entirely foreign colony. they
may be accepted. This appar-
emily is one of natures mech
anisms for intruding new
genes into a strain.
Raid by Daylight
The raiding activities Of a
colony are carried out during
the day from a central head
quarters. During the daytime
the raiding individuals return
to the colony from their forays
and by dusk all have returned.
At night the bivouac is
changed. the whole colony
moving forward along one of
the trails blazed by the raiders.
A new headquarters is thus es-
tablished. A colony moves from
six to seven hours before strik-
ing a new bivouac. Not infre-
quently, if no promising site Is
found, it moves from dusk to
dawn.
This would seem like con-
slant activity, too strenuous
even for the constitution of
an army ant. Actually. DR..
Schneirla says. the individual
workers probably get plenty of
rest. Each colony is divided
into two units-the raiders
and those that constitute the
structural unit. The walls Of
the headquarters" are made
up of the bodies of the latter.
These living brick" do
nothing throughout the day.
They may be asleep. When
the raiders return at dusk the
structural unit breaks up and
the members lead the migra-
ton to a new bivouac. The
erstwhile raiders follow lei
surely in the rear and In turn
become the structural unit
when a stopping place is
selected.
When to rest; when to raid?
There apparently is a war
rhythm. like the rhythm of the
tides. in the basic constitu-
ton Of these ants which is
irresistible. Some have postu-
lated the same sort Of thing,
on a lesser scale, in man who
goes to war every so often but
camoufiages the war tide with
economic or political excuses.
Perhaps the ants do also, in
ant language.

Trolley vs.. Bus

While 1t may be true that
buses can be operated at a
SLIGHTLY lower cost than street.
cars, where the comfort and
safety Of the passengers are
concerned. the cars are so far
ahead Of the buses that there
can scarcely be a comparison.
The jolting and swaying Of
the buses constitutes some
thing Of a hazard to elderly
and less vigorous passengers,
but the present cars glide
along as smoothly as a boat.
and 1t is a pleasure to ride
on them. and it certainly would
be a shame to practically give
away all this fine equipment
and then spend several mil
lion dollars in order to sub
stitute an inferior form Of
transportation.
In the pending reorganiza-
ton Of Washington's transit
system. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that this unhappy out
come may be avoided.
John v. Purssell.
Perhaps an all-bus transit
system for Washington would
provide neither lower operat-
ing costs nor better service for
riders. as was argued in the
utilities commission hearing
December IA, but such a sys-
tenn would be justified by the
lives 1t would save.
Per passenger-mile. street.
cars kill more people than
buses do. The loading plat
forms and safety spaces out
in the middle of the streets
cause many deaths. People
too often make the fatal mis-
take Of stepping of a platform
or out Of safety zone in front
of a moving car. Others are
killed by cars running into
loading platforms. People also
are killed because streetcars
can't dodge distractions or
stop quickly.
Regardless of the expense of
junking the old trolley system.
which has been obsolete for
over Is years. the. steel tracks,
loading platforms, and cum
bersome streetcars must go.
The removal during the past
two decades Of the steel rails
from many of the streets
Connecticut avenue, Ninth,
H. and Kennedy, and other
streets is an admission that
the system of 1890 is no longer
desirable. Now is the time to
finish the job Of removal.
Streetcars simply do not fit
in with modern traffic. They
are not only a nuisance to
motorists but also a hazard to
life and limb.

This has just been reported

T. C. Schneirla Of the Ameri-

ny. who for several years has
studied the vast. raiding ant
hordes on Barro Colorado

operate.
There are two species of
army ants on the island. Each
has at present approximately
so colonies. nearly all of which
DIR. Schneirla has located. He
has literally kept track of
them from day to day and
night to night. Each colony

Each brood consists of about

a birthrate a colony theoret-

Schneirla says. it does little
more than maintain its popu-
