DIST Bounces Back

It is regrettable that Congress, In
passing permanent daylight saving law
for Washington, left the door open for the
time issue to bounce back into con-
greSSional laps. The idea in giving the
District Commissioners authority to pro-
claim daylight saving each summer was
to rid Congress Of the time-wasting task
OF passing annual laws on the subject.
But an oversight in the law, limiting the
Commissioners authority, has neces-
Stated amendment Of the permanent
legislation. And this has given opponents
OF "fast time" another opportunity to
take a whack at "DST."
The amendment, to enable the
Commissioners to extend daylight time
through October, had little trouble In
getting through the Senate, but, as in the
past, opposition developed on the House
side. Representative O'Hara of Minnesota,
an old foe of DIST, has indicated his
intention of finding out If the broadcast
ing industry would prof1t by the change
in the local law. What this has to do with
an amendment that would benefit chiefly
the radio listeners and televiewers is not
clear. Last year the public was subjected
to unnecessary confusion when daylight
saving ended here month before other
large cities returned to standard time.
The Senate-approved amendment would
prevent repetition of this confusion.
Congress ought to give the Commits
sioners full and permanent power to keep
Washington in step with the rest Of the
daylight-Saving cities.

moderation statements. To the
Southerners. Harriman's atti-
tude has been to demand
desegregation of the public
schools with a minimum of
delay.
One of the lines Of attack by
Gov. Hartman is designed to
win over to his cause as many
of the Kefauver delegates as
Observation-Disclosures which the
Tennessee Senator picked up
as a result of his arduous cam
paigning in the presidential
primary States. His support
ers are moving in on the Wis
consin delegation and the
South Dakota delegation, for
example.
Kefauver to Continue
Senator Kefauver will fight
on, he says. But, admittedly,
his chances of success at the
national convention were
brought almost to the vanish
ing point when Stevenson gave
him the old one-two punch in
the Florida and California
primaries. What he will do
and what he can do with dele
gates now committed to him,
after he himself steps out Of
the picture, is still q guess.
Stevenson is after them, as
well as Hartman. There is
no assurance that Kefauver
could deliver these delegate
votes, even If he wanted to.
But it seems likely he will.
when and if he retireS, express
himself in favor of another
candidate.
For weeks, it was charged
by Stevenson supporters that
Kefauver was really working
for Hartman, endeavoring to
kill of Stevenson. This has
been roundly denied by Kefau-
yer. Nevertheless, the blows
he struck the Stevenson can
didacy were and are of assist
ance to Hartman.
Kefauver's latest move has
been to bury the Ratchet so
far as Stevenson is concerned.
He expressed his regret over
the attacks he made on Ste
venson in the Florida and
California campaigns, and said
that If Stevenson is nomi-
mated he, Kefauver, will sup
port him in the fall campaign.
1t will take more than this ex-
preston of regret, however,
to wipe out the effect of those
attacks-the most telling of
which was Kefauver's state
ment that Stevenson, badly
defeated in 1852, could not win
in 1856 If nominated.
StevenSon's overwhelming
defeat by Eisenhower four
years ago is, indeed, the
Achilles tendon in the Steven
son campaign for another
presidential nomination. Har-
riman and his supporters are
not going to overlook this
weakness. which Kefauver has
pointed out.
And, of course, Hartman is
hoping for a Truman assist
in Chicago.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

The only excuse, If there is
any, is that it is nesting time,
and perhaps the victim has
done something, in his turn,
against the jays nest.
Our blue jay is, of course,
a belligerent creature, and is
especially so during nesting.
At this time the male will
aSsail any human being who
comes too close to the nest.
Nature often is in no sense
nice, in our human language.
Nature in the raw sometimes
comes to the most cultivated
gardens, and then the house.

householder, throws up hands
in horror.
But this act is nature, too.

The big Democratic drama
which opens in Chicago August
Is is shaping up more and
more rapidly. Whether the
ending will be happy is any,
body's guess-but there will be
an ending, even If the Demo-
cratic National Convention is
forced to run for more than a
week to select its presidential
candidate, thereby stretching
itself beyond the opening Of
the G. o. p. national conven-
ton in San Francisco.
As the situation looks today,
q quick and speedy Democratic
convention will have but one
result--the nomination of Ad-
lai e. Stevenson for President.
And that could happen. If the
convention is long and drawn
out, beyond, for example, half
a dozen ballots, the chances Of
q Stevenson victory would be
slim. For Stevenson is going
into the convention with a
larger block of delegates COM
mitted to him than to any
other candidate for the nomi-
nation.
His supporters earlier in the
year expressed confidence Ste
venson would be nominated on
the first ballot, and certainly
not later than a third ballot.
But Stevenson's candidacy got
OF to q bad start, when Sena-
tor Kefauver Of Tennessee won
the first two presidential pref
erence primaries, in New
Hampshire and Minnesota.
Stevenson's comeback in later
primaries was remarkable. His
supporters, however, still have
goose pimples when they think
how narrow was his margin
over Kefauver in the Florida
primary. A change of a few
thousand votes there, and not
withstanding Stevenson's later
victory in California, the for
mer Illinois Governor would
have faced q terrible uphill
battle in the national conven-
ton.
Much Work for Stevenson
So, Notwithstanding tn cir
claims Of approaching victory,
Stevenson and his campaign
managers understand there is
still a lot of work and might
ing to be done right up to con-
vention time. Gov. Hartman
Of New York, who has been
holding his fire for six months
while Stevenson and Kefauver
fought it out. is now throwing
himself whole-heartedly into
the campaign. The ground
work for his drive for the nom
nation, which has been done
by Carmine g. DeSapio, Dem
ocratic boss of New York, is
coming to the surface. The
Denver meeting Of Hartman
supporters from IL Western
States last week end is only one
move on the part of the New
Workers. Their plans call for
building strength in the Mid
west and even in the South,

Governor with suspicion and
disgust, because of his anti

yudqes the Court

Certain majority ru AngS
handed down by the Supreme
Court during the tribunals
past season are astonishing.
In Pennsylvania v. Nelson,
they held that sedition can be
prosecuted only in Federal
Courts. Thus, the rights Of the
States are further diminished.
In Slochower v. Board Of
Higher Education, they held
that q New York City College
professor could not be sum-
marily fired for having in
voked the Fifth Amendment at
a Senate committee hearing.
Thus, they refuse to permit the
city to require its employees to
cooperate with public author
tiles. In Communist Party v.
Subversive Activities Control
Board, they hold that the
board must reconsider its de-
cision that the Communist
Party is under Soviet Union
control In the light of attacks
on the credibility Of three wit
nesses. Flimsily supported al
legations Of perjury against
the witnesses were considered
grounds for reopening the pro-
ceedings to determine If the
Communist Party Is revolu-
tionary in character.
In Railway Employees Dept,
AFL, v. Robert L. Hanson ct al
and Union Pacific Railroad
Co.. the court says that the
State right to work" laws
cannot ban the union shop in
the railway field. Thus, the
union can force membership
on unwilling railway workers
as a condition Of employment.
In one Of their last decisions
the court held that Federal
employees holding jobs which
are not sensitive in q national
security sense may not be fred
on security grounds. Its effect
is to nullify the Presidents
executive order Of 1858, which
was designed to rid the Gov

Cole Case

There is q glaring misstate-

ticle on the Supreme Courts
recent decision in the Cole Csc
curity dismissaD case. While.
as an attorney who has worked
upon 1t, I would not normally
comment upon that case so
long as it is still in court, the
fragrant error in The Stars
article, written by L. Edgar
Prina, should be corrected.
The Star stated that ION
Monday the Supreme Court
ruled s to 8 that the Govern
ment may not discharge an
employe from a nonSensitiye
job as q security risk" That
simply is not so. The Govern
ment now has, and has had for
years, full authority under the
Lloyd-La Toilette and veter-
ans Preference Acts to dismiss
employees, for whatever reason.
for the good and efficiency of
the Federal service. In that
event a veteran, such as Mr.
Cole, would be entitled to have
the Civil Service Commission
review his dismissal. The Su-
preme Court held Mr.. Cole was
entitled to this right because
his job as food and drug in
spector had not been declared
sensitive and therefore Public
Law 1888 had been improperly
applied to cut of his right of
Civil Service Commission re.
: view under the Veterans Pref
erence Act.
The Supreme Court very ex-
plicitly stated this much in it's
opinion and The Star owes
its readers, as well as the
court, equal candor in its ar
ticle. OF course, The Star has q
right to criticize the decision,

Representative Walter, on its

should maintain an objective,

today, is inextricably associ-
ated with the employe security
program. It's use by Mr.. Prina

Blue Jay del1nQuentS are
giving their tribe a bad name
here this season.
We have heard Of more jay
depredations against other
species than at any time in the
past 80 years.
I. M. D. Of Myrtle terrace

did you ever see a police
man turn killer? Well, I did,
and I have been diSillusioned.
II am referring to the i'm
preston I had that the jay is
the policeman of the air, warn
ing other birds of danger, but
after witnessing the following
scene, I wonder.

Yesterday upon opening my
back porch window to put some
seed in the bird tray, I heard
q commotion among the song
sters.
II tried to locate where it
was coming from, when sud-
denly down below me in the
overgrowth of the hedge out
new first a robin, and then q
blue jay, bringing with him a
scattering Of gray feathers.
He landed on the cement
steps. holding in his claws a
gray bird.
II think it was a catbird.
Then he started pecking at
1t like a hawk. pulling out the
feathers.
II looked for something to
throw at him. and finding
nothing at hand, I took the
tin top of my seed tin and
banged 1t against the house.

eye at me and proceeded to
tear his victim apart.
Then he hoped up into a
sapling in this same hedge
and began to peck and tear
feathers.
HE finally took of with the
bird dangling from his claws.
ut might be possible to say
that once in 20 years is not so
bad.
But this was just the be-
ginning.
HE has got, to my knowl-
edge to date, about four more.
Can you justify the be-
havior Of the above mentioned
jay?"

1t is pretty difficult to justify
such depredations.

Sents your answer to each

0 means mot at all. never"
l means somewhat" some
times" "a little"
2 means IAN average amount, !"
about as often as not"
3 means usually" "a good
DEAL" frequently"
4 means entirely" practically
always"
After each question, draw a
ring around the number that
describes you best. Add up
these scores. If your score is
40. you are perfect, and you
should go over the scale again,
more carefully, and find out
just where you failed to tell
the truth. Probably few men
can justly claim a score of
more than 30. If you are
very low on any item, take
that as a cue to improve your
behavior on that particular
point.
