even of the grackle and amused
by the startling, about both of
whom I've heard professional
bird-lovers say some nasty
things. I enjoy waking in
the country to the twitter and
chatter of Sparrows and the
scolding of wrens. Even about
pigeons I've had in the past
some almost kindly thoughts.
In fact, in times past I may
actually have enjoyed their an
tics for live opposite Central
Park and when I look out the
window, I invariably see men,
women and children feeding
fluttering, squabbling rock
doves as they are also some-
times called.
have also thrilled before
now when I've read of some
intrepid homing pigeon carry
ing a message of Importance.
I've felt sympathy when I
heard about lost carriers drop
ping to the decks of ocean
liners after exhausting them
selves in the effort to get back
on course. I have been out
ragged by accounts of the way
we have ruthlesSly extermi-
mated the handsome Passen-
ger Pigeon which once filled
our skies. And I remember
spending an entire afternoon
in the Virgin Islands watching
the antics of some handsome
representatives of the family.
When I was still fairly neu-
tral about them, worked out
a whimsical theory that
pigeons hobby is people,
watching, and I didn't blame
them for turning the tables.

Horse in Indian
Culture Traced

A scientific report. "The Horse
in Blackfoot Indian Culture, "
recently was added to the rolls
at the Smithsonian Institution.
Written by John c. Ewers,
Smithsonian ethnologist, an ex-
port on the Plains Indians, the
book is largely based on infor-
nation he obtained from inter-
views with elderly Blackfeet,
Sioux, Flathead and Kiowa In
disns over a period of more than
a decade.
Legend places the origin of the
Indian horse to strayed animals
of the famed Coronado Expedi-
ton of 1541. This. Mr.. Ewers
points out, is most unlikely.
He notes that Coronado had
only two mares and that there
is no record that either of them
escaped. Indians probably first
obtained horses through peace

for Hope.
There is Just one word Of cau-
ton. NBC had better make sure
Of more careful editing Of the

jokes to the boys he gets into
matters not always fit for the
living room, not before ! am, at
Evening star., 1955-01-11
On the Air

The time seems to be at hand
for a sort Of reversal Of view
point in the matter of Bob Hope.
He apparently is not going to
stay out Of our living rooms. He
is willing to do Tv shows. NBC
is willing to broadcast them and
some sponsor seems always will
ing to pay the freight. Since
his recurring appearances are.
inevitable, we'll just have to
learn to relax and enjoy them.
1t will involve temporary
abandonment Of some Of the
standards, Hope has appeared
on television many times but he
has never yet done o televistou
show. He has allowed the CAM
eras to watch him play to thea
ter audiences. For his last two
television shows he has gone a
step further and resorted to Aim
rather than nv cameras.
The combination studio au-
dience and films enough to
put an incurable curse on al
most any television comedy. It
could be, however, that Hope
has known what he was doing
all the time. Last Sundays
COMEDY Hour" on NBC-TV. a
film made while Hope and COM
pany were doing q New Years
Eve performance at our Thule
outpost In Northern Greenland,
actually nleritsd its title for a
change. ' y
Hope was at ease and he had
some sturdy assistance from
william Holden. Jerry Colonna.
Margaret Whiting and the Air
Force Crew Chiefs. Plus some
decorative assistance from Anita
Ekberg, Even on film 1t was q
lot more lively than some Of
Hopes past live shows.
It might be suggested. Of
course, that Hope. being q lead
ing representative Of the ice age
of television comedy. felt at
home on the ice cap. 1t Is more
likely, however, that Hope Just
knows what 1t is that he has q
talent for entertaining service
men.
He has done enough Of this
since the beginning Of World
War II that he probably deserves
our eternal gratitude. His de-
livery of entertainment to far
flung CT audiences can safely be
called a contribution to our ma
tional welfare. It makes even
his severest critics sorry at times
when it becomes necessary to
apply the bastinado for Hopes
sundry crimes and misdeineailors
before other than CT audiences.
Ah&
Now, since 1t is clear that
we're going to get Hope on Tv
on his terms, not television's. the
course Of action Is obvious. Let
NBC give up on trying to set
him to do teleyiSion shows and
instead Just photograph him In
the act of entertaining at de-
fense posts. He knows what au-
dience he responds to best and
we all might as well agree that
he has been right MI along. II
