Mrs. Hobby's Departure

Mrs Oveta Culp Hobby has fully
earned the praise and thanks heaped
upon her by President Eisenhower. A
capable woman, she has rendered good
and faithful service to the Nation for
many years past-beginning with her
role as wartime organizer and comman-
der of the Womens Army Corps, and
ending now with her resignation as Sec
retary of Health, Education and Welfare.
Like other fine public servants in the
past. Mrs. Hobby has suffered the sings
and arrows of band of critics who all
too often have been outrageously unfair.
A case in point has been the effort to
depict her as a reactionary opposed to
putting an end to the grave stresses and
strains in our American school system.
Another example has been the attacks
made on her in connection with the Salk
vaccine and her remarkS-torn out OF
context-on the Surgeon Generals re-
sponsibility for the vaccine's distribution.
Certainly, although her sense Of public
relations occasionally may have left
something to be desired, her record is an
outstanding one of jobs much too well
done to have ever justified the kind OF
brickbats that have been thrown at her
by people who ought to have known better
and been more attentive to the facts.
Mrs. Hobby is returning now to pri-
vate life for personal reasons Of high
order"-meaning particularly the illness
of her distinguished husband. The fact
that man as outstanding as Marion B.
Folsom has been named to succeed her
is measure of the Importance Of the
work and office she is leaving. AS she
heads homeward to Texas, she can take
proper and lasting pride in the contribu-
ton she has made.

"a few days ago while I was
in Lexington. KY, some friends
invited me to dinner" writes
w. E. B. I'm the course of the
evening they related a very in
teresting incident regarding a
robin. "a.
"The robin had her nest
under the caves where the
downspout of the gutter makes
the bend to go back to the
wall.
"The house was beinl
painted and my friends told
the painter to leave the nest
where it was and to paint
around it.
"He told them that he had
done that before and thatsthe
robin had refused to return to
the nest.
"Thereupon, they decided to
move the nest to nearby tree
about Is feet away.
1.-THE nest was moved and
fastened to the tree with cello
phane tape.
"The nest contained four
blue eggs. When the robin re-
turned she was quite concerned
on account of the removal of
her nest; but it was not very
long before she found it and
resumed sitting on the eggs.
while I was there. I saw
the nest and the robin on it
just as if nothing had hap
pened. Before left, my friends
told me that the birds had
been Matched.
What about the saying that
a bird will not return to the
nest if it has been touched or
handled by anyone?'
y X X
Birds are like people.
Some do, and some don't.
Some seem to adhere to coun-
try sayings, others do not.
There is no telling about
birds; that is what makes
them so interesting to so many
people.
AS among humans, what the
individual will do depends
upon the individual creature,
itself.
Robins, for instance, have
never heard of the old belief,
that no honest robin should or
would return to a nest that has
about it the bad smell of
humanity.
All it knows is its nest and
its eggs, at nesting time, and
the particular problem of feed
ing the babies.
This is its life, in summer.

Germany and Geneva

particularly promising In the KremlinS
latest statement on Germany. But the
language is temperate and generalized
enough to leave room for reasonable, II
not fruitful, discussions at the impending
Big Four summit" meeting in Geneva.
The Statements issued through
Tass. the official Soviet news agency
makes clear that the men of the Kremlin
are as strongly opposed as ever to West
Germanys rearmament as sovereign
member OF the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. It makes clear, too, that
they will continue to veto unification of
the partitioned country as long as France,
Britain and the United States hold to the
position that the free Bonn republic
or reunified German nation-should be
t,liberty to link itself with the NATO
alliance.
In other words, although it does not
say SO directly, what the Kremlin re-
aff1rn1s is this: ~ Unless Bonn quits
NATo, the present partition must con-
tinue; (2) step-by- -step measures should
be taken to bring about an understanding
between Chancellor Adenauer's govern
ment and the Communist East German
regime; and (3) under any and all cir
cumstances, it is imperative that the Ger
mans-if they are to be reunifled-mus
remain neutral within the framework
Of pan European collective security
system in which they would ally them
selves with neither the Atlantic powers
nor the Russian Empire. Thus, as Tass
has summed up the case, I'm this con-
nection, 1t is permissible to ask how the
Western powers would react II the Soviet
Union were to claim that the solution of
the problem concerning the unifcation of
Germany were to depend on the partici-
patton Of united Germany, for example,
in the Warsaw agreements relatively
recent agreement that formally embraces
4 the long existing Soviet military bloc in
Europe.
From the standpoint of propaganda
at least, the potency Of this argument
though essentially phony- ought not to
be underestimated. For 1t unquestion-
ably impresses many Europeans in gen.
eral and Germans in particular-the
latter especially because of the way in
they would be by far the greatest sufferers
in any new war. OF course, by virtue of
its geographical position, its economic
strength and its exceptionally dynamic
population, Germany cannot be neutral
power, but the Russians obviously are de-
termined to try making it so.
Clearly, this issue-the central issue
to be discussed at the summit" confer
ence-is dif1cult in the extreme. But the
Kremlin's new statement, even though
less than encouraging, seems in some ways
to be not absolutely irreconcilable with
Western proposals to unity Germany as
a member of NATO within system of
guarantees insuring Russia's security.
Conceivably-justc conceivably-th forth
coming exchange Of views at Geneva will
be able to promote at least a little prog
ress toward agreement along these lines.

Long Arm of the Law
Washington's policemen ar

Long AIm OI the Low
Washington's policemen are
to be congratulated for the
efficient manner in which they
have been handling the traffic
problem, and allied situations
since the transit strike began.
They have been doing such a
good job that even the Presi-
dent of the United States. in
an unprecedented statement,
recently commended them.
But the citizens in many
cases have done nothing to
help the policeman, and in
some cases have done their
best to hamper him and ridi-
cule him in his nerve-racking
job at busy street corners in
terrible heat at peak-traffic
hours. It is too bad that so
many Washingtonians have no
sense of responsibility and do
not realize that their co-opera-
ton with the Police Depart
ment, especially at a time OF
mutual hardship. means so
much to their own safety and
living. ....
While Congress is handing
out easy money to Government
workers and others down the
line, it may be a good idea
for them now to grant Wash
ington police the much-needed
raise so long due them for the
dangerous and thankless job
they are doing-not only now,
but every day of the year.

I would very much like to
compliment the police Of No.
3 Precinct who have been do
ing terrific job during the
strike. My husband and I
have been coming down every
morning and are cheered by
their courtesy and good nature.
although I admit we have lost
ours many times before we
reached our destination.
Please give them an extra
hand, because they rightfully
deserve it.
Mrs. H. ROsenblatt.
I wish to cast a little fly in
the ointment of praise for the
Metropolitan Police. I do not
know who is responsible, but
somebody appears to have
gone a bit berserk in the way
tickets are given cars for park
ing violations - and tickets
with absurdly high penalties!
I offer the following sugges-
ton for use q this revenue:
Return it to the people from
whom it has been siphoned.
Pass it on to Louis Wolfson for
distribution. Use it to start
the streetcars and buses rolling.
In this Alice-in-Wonderland
world in which we are living
it is not likely the first sugges-
ton will be accepted. The
other two have an equal
chance.
Impatient.
\ 4 X 4
To show the city's grateful
ness to the police of Washing
ton, I think a fund should be
raised as a bonus to them.
Remember how they have made
door-to-door campaigns for the
Police Boys Club? Now is the
time for the people of Wash
ington to do something for
them.
Many people would like to
contribute to a fund for the
police but would like to know
their money is going to the
men on the force who are
sweating it out" on the
streets.
I noticed the efficient work
of three policemen on a very
hot afternoon at Eighteenth
and @ streets NV. ! sent
one of my boys with three cold
cokes and a bottle opener. He
offered the drinks to them but
was turned down very cour-
teously and thanked. We were
very sorry they did not accept,
but perhaps orders prevented
this. We think the police are
doing a wonderful job.
