ON RHODE ISLAND avenue
NE, a busy street even in the
heat Of the Saturday after
noon sun, a mother robin was
teaching her brood to fly.
They were swooping low over
the moving traffic near
Fourth street.
They were getting along
fairly well in their lesson un-
til one fledgling, still unaccus-
toned to the complex me-
chanics of flight, dropped
suddenly against the fender
of one of the autos, and fell
to the street.
The young bird lay there,
struggling to rise, but couldn't
make it.
The next car in the line Of
traffic squeaked to a stop a
short distance away, and the
driver sat there, fearful to
move lest he run over the
bird.
The traffic began to pile up
behind the first car until it
stretched back a block. De-
spite the heat, nobody seemed
particularly disturbed. The
motorist holding up the line
refused to move until the
unknown hero of the piece
stepped from the curb and
rescued the injured robin.

contrary" that the lady was
talking about-the one that
gives balance to the tale
happened at Second and T
streets NE, opposite McKin-
ley High School, just a few
blocks away.
1t was during one of those
thunderstorms on Friday eve
ming about 1880 o'clock, when
the clouds and rain make it
seem later than it is. A boy
about 8 years old was pushing
his way against the driving
rain with his umbrella up to
fend it of. His dog trotted
along at his heels.
The dog, a brown and white
fox terrier-moStly fox ter
rier, anyway-darted sudden
ly into T street. A cab hurry
ing down T street swerved too
late, and the dog was struck.
The pup yelped in pain and
the boy screamed. The boy
folded his umbrella, laid it
against a school zone sign,
and ran into the street to at
tend his injured pet.
AS he carried the dog to-
ward the sidewalk, a truck
came to a stop beside the
school zone sign. The truck
driver got out, looked around
stealthily to see If anybody
was watching, and picked up
the umbrella.
A lady who saw 1t tried to
stop the truck by shouting at
the driver as he grabbed the
boys umbrella. But he leaped
back into his truck and drove
rapidly away.
The rain was coming down
so hard the lady was unable
to see the trucks license
number, although she tried.
THAT drivers my nomina-
tion," she said, for the
Meanest Thief of the Year"
The boy might get a new
umbrella, anyway, if the peo4
pie who stopped for the in
jured bird found out about
1t, and could find him.

the U. N. Assembly rise to the
occasion and show the whole
world that it will not tolerate
defiance and indignity?
The United Nations has an
opportunity, moreover, to
achieve a constructive adj

affairs. The satellite countries
are supposed to be independ-
ent. But when they are con-
tinuously occupied by the
Soviet troops and a ruling

moment by orders from Mos
COW, IT is clear that there is a
violation Of the pledge inher-
ent in the Charter which. in
effect, says the territorial in
tegrity and political independ-
ence of member countries
must be preserved.
A very important precedent
can be established if the U.N.
acts wisely in the case Of
Hungary today. The Charter
authorizes the U.N. to concern
itself with any threat to world
peace. 1t can even examine
internal questions if there is
present an external factor
threatening internal peace.
The Hungarian conflict has its

edged that q foreign govern
ment-in Moscow-is acting to
subjugate and control the ex-
listing government and has
used its own troops to deny
the people their right to self
determination.
The U.N. team of observers,
if admitted to Hungary, can
report the facts. Small wonder
the Soviet government fears
the truth. For the full story

Helping Hungorions Who Stay Behind
To Keep Alive Called Bio Problem

President Eisenhower has
acknowledged public dissatis-
faction over how little this
country has in truth and in
fact been able to do about
Hungary by appointing Tracy
S. Voorhees, as co-ordinator of
all American relief activities
for Hungary.
Co-ordinators were great IA
vorites of the New Dealers
when, as often happened, they
found their pet programs run
ming into alarms and confu-
sions. They have never been
quite the same here since the
eminently practical AL Smith
finally asked dourly: who
will coordinate the co-ordi-
nators?"
Voorhees, has had experience
in government and is a de-
voted worker in the interna-
tional vineyard. He will do all
he can, but he cannot make a
policy toward Hungary and
comparable situations that
seem to be more or less build
ing among the Russian satel-
lites.
The problem is to figure out
a policy that will help to en-
able Hungarians to stay alive
in Hungary. All experience

that If the American Govern

sufficient gasoline for their

the South Korean army will

Action Urged in Spite of Soviet Ban
To Prove Moscow Controls Satellite

Mccormack Of Massachusetts,
Democratic leader Of the
United States House Of Rep
resentatives, is rightly aroused
over the indignity Of the Com
muniSts in refusing permission
to the Secretary General of
the U. N. to investigate condi-
tons in that country. McCor-
mack thinks U. N. planes
should not wait for permission
but go in anyhow. He says
that if the planes are stopped
and the personnel arrested it
will be proof of the incapacity
Of the present Hungarian gov
eminent to discharge its re-
sponsibilities to the United
Nations.
Senator Knowland, Republic
can leader Of the Senate, called
a few days ago for the expulsion
of Soviet Russia from the U. N.
because Of what has happened
in Hungary.
The Secretary General has
been waiting patiently for two
weeks to get an answer to the
request he made after the
General Assembly instructed
him by resolution to proceed
to Hungary and make a first
hand study of conditions there.
It is apparent the U. N. now
will have to consider all the
evasive replies and excuses
given by the puppet govern
ment at Budapest.
A case can now be made for
the withdrawal Of recognition
Of the existing Hungarian gov
eminent. A simple resolution is
all that's needed. declaring the
seat of Hungary to be vacant
and adding that representa-
tives from Hungary will be ac-
cepted whenever a free govern
ment arises.

South Korea Wants a Showdown

South has the farmland. The
artificial division which has
lasted now for more than 10
years makes 1t practically inn
possible for each Of the two
segments to become self.
sufficient.
The people here feel that
the reunion Of North, and
South Korea is even more of q
crying need than the unity Of
the two Germanys. Division
of the latter was decided at
the Teheran and Yalta Con-
ferences as a penalty for the
second German aggression
within a quarter Of a century.
But" say the Korean leaders
here, "why penalize Korea and
her people who have done their
best to fight the Japanese?"
When asked what they would
want America to do about the
matter, the answer is: LET
us go over and settle accounts
with the Communists. We are
asking for none Of your troops.
All we want is for you to
provide us with aviation and
the necessary supplies. Don't
threaten a cutdown Of our
gasoline and ammunition
whenever you feel that we
want to go it alone. We could
have done the job before you
decided to sign the present
armistice which has played
into the hands of the Reds.
The going will be tougher now,
but we can still do the job
with nothing more than your
moral support and the supplies
which we cannot possibly pro-
vide for ourselves"
