Ghost of Bedtime Past

Mr.. Guy Roberge, a Canadian who
had career of soldering before he got
into the inventing business, has come
up with an idea which at first blush
seems novel. He wants to cut down the
size-and as result, the cost-of small
homes by installing beds which can be
raised irto the attic by system OF pull
leys and wires when not in use. This
would not only save money, he points
out, but would also make the housewives
cleaning task easier and provide more
daytime play space for the children.
Mr.. Roberge's concern for the budget,
the housewife and the children is laud-
able. But for those who in the past
struggled with the Murphy he'd, it seems
he's about so years too late. The Murphy
bed, which folded into the wall, was the
rage in grandma's day 1t also was the
butt of many vaudeville jokes, and the
early movie slapstick comedies had a
field day with it, trapping villain and
hero alike as it rose into the wall without
evident outside aid.
Sleeping in Murphy bed, one recalls,
was an adventure. 1t was living danger
ously, and the movie and vaudeville !ests

Our Own First Lady

Washington has been the official
residence of all but one of the Nations
First Ladies, Mrs. George Washington the
exception. This is historic distinction.
We can be, and are, properly proud of it.
But Washington is also the point of
origin, the birthplace, of First Lady of
which it can be equally proud. This
exemplar of her sex is Helen Hayes, the
First Lady Of the liveliest of the arts, the
theater.
For so years, since she was four, the
small, lovely and greatly gifted Miss
Hayes has been delighting the public
with her acting wizardry, endearing her
self to it with her simple, unaffected
charm. Thanks to her insistence upon
returning to her home town this summer
in her Salute to France production, "The
Skin of Our Teeth" Washington has a
chance to salute Miss Hayes on a great
occasion. The Star is glad to add its
tribute to the nightly chorus at the
National Theater.

Guilty in getting the beds legs to touch
the floor when 1t was let down. One test
was to bounce up and down on the edge
Of the bed to make sure it was locked
into place.
Mr.. Roberge's invention poses the
possibility Of equally adventurous living.
On those Monday mornings when it is
hard to get awake, one might sleep right
through being raised into the attic. Get
ting out of bed in the attic, when one
knows full well one went to bed in the
bedroom the night before, could make
a strong man tremble. One knows that
modicum of adventure is good for every
life, but one would rather have it during
ones waking hours.

First the Blade

The Sunday column of the
Rev. Frederick Brown Harris
on First the Blade" refers to
the United Nations as the
blade, to be followed by the
ear, and the harvest to come
of the parliament of man and
the federation of the world.
He is pointing out that this
process cannot be hurried any
more than nature can be
hurried. There could be no
exception taken to the parable
SO far, but we must look to it
that in our blindnes, ignorance
or indifference we do not let
the blade wither and die. To-
days farmer does not count on
nature alone--if water is need
ed, he irrigates. Moreover, he
doesn't cut the blade down be-
cause of the weeds around it
as some would do to the United
Nations.
To speak in ordinary terms,
unless we all think, talk and
write of world federation and
world law. unfrightened by the
old concepts of sovereignty, our
ideas at Geneva or elsewhere

Toward Full CITIZENSHIP

When he vetoed last year a bill to
give District citizens the right to vote for
delegates to national political conven-
tions, President Eisenhower said he would
sign such legislation If a Hatch Act ex-
emption proviso were omitted. Congress
has taken the President at his word. The
Senate and House bills now being
adjusted in conference would permit
Washingtonians to vote for party dele
gates, subject to the usual restrictions on
active politicking. The way is being
paved, therefore, for what we hope is the
first step toward the right of full citizen
ship for disfranchised District residents.
The Presidents objection to the
previous bill was based on the small point
that any exemption of local Federal
employees from Hatch Act restrictions
would discriminate against the bulk of
Government workers outside of Wash
ington. Under the Hatch Act, Federal
employees are prohibited from political
campaigning, although outside the Dis
trict they may vote. Mr.. Eisenhower,
however, in his veto message, said the
legislation, apart from the Hatch Act pro-
vision, would represent a constructive
step toward obtaining suffrage in the
District of Columbia" The bill passed
by the Senate amended the House.
approved version in several respects. In
one of these changes the House "literacy'
requirement for eligibility to vote was
eliminated. Actually, the House require
ment that voter be able to read and
write is largely academic in the District,
where illiteracy is not problem. The
issue thus seems to be relatively unin-
portant.
Final enactment of this worthwhile
legislation will help to direct national
attention again to the plight of local
citizens as another election year ap-
proaches The ridiculous anomaly will
be presented of Washingtonians being
given the legal right to vote for delegates
to conventions which pick nominees for
President and Vice President, but at the
same time being barred from voting for
the nominees of the delegates. The dele
gate legislation is a welcome, though
pitifully small, concession to disfran-
chised District citizens.

Another Hour of PRAYER

The pastor of our church
said, he thought the letter in
The Star of July 7 relative to
Lincoln's prayer during the
battle of Gettysburg was just
wonderful. Lincoln, knowing
that both sides in this great
struggle were filled with God
fearing men, asked the Lord
to- take it in his own hands
and decide the battle as he
deemed best. The results that
day at Gettysburg and the fol-
lowing day at Vicksburg, were
sufficient evidence to Lincoln,
and apparently also to the
Nation, of Gods desire for a
united people, for the noble
purpose of a united front in
our service to God and hui
manity.
In this eminent and worthy
spirit, President Eisenhower,
the night Of his departure for
Geneva, called upon our 1856
million people to set apart the
succeeding Sunday to pray to
God that the conference will
lead to lasting world peace.
The response was spontaneous.
Nationwide, and from all
faiths.

Whodunit?
The shap

The shape of the plot itself begins
to take form.
There was the blanket of silence at
the District Building, covering up repeat
ed warnings last winter and spring from
highly respected citizens who are not the
servants of Mr.. Wolfson, that on July /
there would be crippling transit strike.
There was the mysterious failure by the
Public Utilities Commission and other
constituted authorities to search for ways,
and especially the means, of avoiding it.
There was the strike itself, and before
1t was really dry behind the ears, the
hysterical shrieks to seize the company,
impound its money and pay off the union,
cancel its franchise, force its liquidation
and run it out of town. There was the
obvious choice of the perfect villain need
ed to whip up an emotional atmosphere
in which any chance of settling the strike
through collective bargaining became an
absurdity, while the cold facts which lie
behind it, and which have established an
Identical set of circumstances in cities
all over this country, were not only
ignored, but crudely misrepreSented to
the public.
Thus the outlines of the plot, with
the approach to the coup itSelf-when
the people of this community wake up
some fine morning to find that they have
been forced through the back door into
public ownership and operation of mass
transportation facilities in a city where
politics is the leading industry.
The shape of the plot Is taking form,
and in the end we believe that we shall
know Whodunit.

Peoce-And the Bridge

A basis for settling the long and
bitter "battle of the bridges" is provided
In the bill which the District Commis-
soners have sent to Congress, with the
blessing of all the feuding parties. The
Senate District Committee lost no time
In adding it's approval It begins to look,
therefore, as though the central-area
bridge fight will have happy ending IN
the not too distant future.
The proposed legislation itself. in
volving authority to shift the span far-
ther upstream, will not settle the issues
which have delayed construction OF the
much-needed structure so long. How
ever, it will give the necessary statutory
sanction to change of location, precise
details of which must be worked out by
the disputants in further conferences.
And all parties have indicated a desire
to bring the warfare to an early end
through a sort of negotiated peace.
There have been conciliatory gestures on
several fronts.
The Commissioners, although re-
luctantly have agreed to give the Interior
Department a voice in picking "the
proaches, interchangeS and connecting
roads" on Federal park lands-an un-
precedented role for the department, in
local bridge building. The Fine Arts
Commission will pass on 'the general
plan and profile of the bridge structure"
The Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Asso-
citation will be consulted regarding the
exact crossing of the island sanctuary
which it defends. The whole project will
be made to harmonize $50 far as possible
with nearby monumental structures
And the new bridge will be named fol-
Theodore Roosevelt.
The bill will make possible a reason
ably satisfactory solution Of the central
bridge problem. We hope Congress
promptly>will adopt the compromise plan

Nothing to Report

There are, 1t seems, always things
to be grateful about. One of the latest
to come to light is the fact that a task
force of the Hoover Commission has
eliminated the sending to Washington of
IS million pieces of paper annually from
three segments of American industry.
Governmental responsibilities to "file and
forget" are reduced accordingly, relief
that seems particularly appropriate In
the weather and related circumstances
of today.
To accomplish this near miracle, the
task force reports that 1t had the cordial
cooperation Of the industries and the
Government agencies involved. And lest
there be concern about this loss of data,
the Hoover group discloses that some Of
it included information already available
in other forgotten Government files
while some of it consisted of nearly
million" reports that there was nothing
to report. One of the tests to determine
reader interest" in Washington was the
sending of reports with pages "delib-
erately omitted by industry but never
missed by Government"
This was not, of course, merely an
exercise in practical joking. The objec-
tive of the task force was a serious one,
namely, to find ways to reduce the burden
of paper work required of industry and
the public by Government BY func-
tioning as an action group, as we'll as
study one-in other words. by cutting
red tape itself-the task force estimates
that already 1t has saved industry $40
vail
IS million. And If its full recommends
tions for curtailing reports, and the many
carbon copies, should be applied, through
combination Of administrative ruling and
legislative authorization, it estimates
that industry and public alone would be
saved $1O0 million yearly.
Certainly there is worthwhile goal
here-and not just paper one.

The latter may be aided by
taking the bird outdoors and
placing it on the ground. There
1t learns the pecking motion.
as great an accomplishment as
we'll may be in birdland.
BY pecking down at beetles
and bits of earth, the young
bird soon learns how to find
food for itself.
This accomplishment. and
learning how to fly, put 1t on
a level with all the other Wild
birds.
Just how much Of o handi-
cap the bringing up "by hand"
is, nobody knows; at times it
seems that for q few days, at
least, 1t makes them unafraid
of humans and sometimes
even marauding animals.
But we must remember that
every young bird has centu-
ries behind it. Each individual
specimen is very new. but very
old in the chain Of creation.
Therefore, after q few days
in the open, 1t will learn to be
afraid, a necessary thing in
it's wild life.
Occasionally, the human
smell about it affronts others
of it's species, but this will last
only a few hours, after which
it will be accepted as one Of
the boys.
If such birds are taken out
doors for brief spells, after
they have learned to eat by
themselves, and are fully able
to fly, they will fly back for
a few days to the outstretched
hand.
Then. some morning, they
will refuse to come down.
And this Is 1t.
For a few days, they will
hang around the yard, and
may even eat from the hand.
but thereafter they will re-
fuse to come down, and the
one who brought them up win
know that the little creature
is on its own at last.
Sometimes such specimens
will come back to the same
yard every year, and 1t is al
ways good to welcome them.

May I add my words to the
general praise which has been
heaped on the District Police
Force for its work during the

1t is impossible, I suppose,
to reward each officer as an

letter of commendation is
placed in the record of each
member of the force who is
giving up his vacation or his
of hours. However, for those
people in the Metropolitan

@. Could the big aircraft
carriers and passenger ships
as big as the Queen Mary
pass under the Golden Gate
Bridge?--S. NICK.
A. Yes. The lower deck of
the Golden Gate Bridge has
a clearance of 220 feet above
mean lower low water. This
enables the largest ships, in
cluding aircraft carriers, to
pass under the bridge without
difficulty. The Queen Mary
sailed under the Golden Gate
Bridge during World War II
and her top masts had ample
clearance.
@. How thick must the rims
Of railway car wheels be?--
J. T.
A. Wheels on many freight
cars have rims 1M inches
thick, but passenger car
wheels must have rims at least
2 inches thick. They wear
more rapidly because of higher
speeds and greater braking
force.

about the limit achieved by
earlier methods. It now can

But chemists of the depart

ism which will reduce the

''Dear Sir:
"Our suddenly orphaned
mocking bird is doing fine:
from the first he has had
the freedom of a screened
porch at all times, SO he soon
learned to fly; he scorned to
have anything to do with
sleeping in a basket except to
perch on the edge. His IA
vorite roosting place is a
rather bushy fern in which he
seems to feel quite at home.
Like all young birds, he
still demands to be fed, though
he soon learned to drink alone
and he knows all about taking
q bath, which he seems to en-
Joy greatly if given q saucer
large enough.
Raising him seems like
child's play since we found a
baby robin. He was discov-
cred on the morning of June
%. My husband went out to
cut the grass and soon called
for me to come out. There
lay a piece of nest. evidently
just the lining, and a pile Of
little birds: two dead and one
apparently barely alive and
making his last gasp.
"He was a sad looking OBJ
ject, no feathers, no down, just
a naked little bird, all neck and
big mouth, nothing to indicate
what kind he was. MY first re-
mark was, Well, this one Is
too young and too far gone to
do anything for; to which my
husband replied. We cannot
leave him here in the hot sun
to die; take him in and see
what we can do. I will bury the
others
"I managed to get a few
drops of milk down his throat
and later some hard boiled egg
yolk, mixed with a little
mashed potato to hold 1t to-
gether, a mixture ] had fed
the mocker previously.
"He co-operated by opening
his mouth every time we came
near him but had so little con-
troll over his head we had to
hold 1t steady with one hand
while putting the food in his
mouth with the other.
1.-TWO days later he climbed
up the side of his fruit basket
nest Quart size) and was
| transferred to a larger one.
| He outgrew that in a couple
of days and is now hopping
around and digging in my
flower pots, a very handsome
young robin with his black
head and speckled breast, a
touch Of red under his wings,
which he is now trying out.
"The next problem--and 1t
Is a big one is how and when
to set the two birds free.
"This we would like to dc
as soon as we feel that they
can take care of themselves
as the mockingbird already has
shown he needs more flying
space.
Sincerely, j. r. P"
AS soon as such baby birds
are able to fly, they should be
released.
| This comes about, as a usual
thing, from 6 to 8 weeks after
they are found. ..
| Raising these babies "by
hand" results in many thou
sands of youngsters being
added to the bird population
every year. ..
In most such cases, the baby
would be a "goner" without
human aid.
| They grow fast, and soon
