Opening the Waterfront

President Eisenhower did not act
bit too soon in exercising emergency DOW
ers of the Taft-Hartley Act in the costly
waterfront strike. Assuming further
prompt action under the formula of that
law, there is good prospect that work can
be resumed on the piers by Monday morn
ing. Even so, the ten-day shutdown from
Maine to TeXas-pluS 24-hour sympathy
tieup on the West Coasts estimated to
mean $500 million loss to the national
economy. Not only has water-borne COM
merce been brought to a standStill
Freight shipments in and out of the ports
by rail and truck were virtually ended in
the middle of the week and the piers are
piled high today as approximately 200
ships await longshoremen's services.
The responsibility for reaching a
abor-management settlement still rests,
OF course, upon the international Long
shoremen's Association and the industry.
And assuming that the 80-day injunction
will be issued, it would be inexcusable If
the principals in this deadlock failed,
before that deadline is reached, to accom-
modate their differences. There has, in
fact, been plenty of room for compromise
on the wage and work-load issues in this
strike. Very likely it would have been
settled long ago if the lila had not been
making its bid for monopoly power by
insisting that the bargaining cover all
East Coast and Gulf ports simultaneously.
A temporary restraining order against the
union holding out for this wide repre-
sentation authority was issued in Fed
eral Court last Wednesday night and may
be reafhrmed by injunction next week.
AS a long-term consideration, Con-
gresS and the Executive branch of Gov
eminent should take long look this
winter at labor relations machinery that
permits diScredited but strong union
to ignore the national interest while at
tempting to make its own power complete.

For Speedier Transit

Everyone seems agreed that a Speedup
of transit is badly needed in Washington.
Slow moving streetcarS and buses on
traffic congeSted streets have been largely
to blame for declining passenger volume
and declining profits, here and elsewhere.
The problems which President Chalk Of
the new D. C.. Transit System seeks to
solve through nine-point program Of
reforms, therefore, are not new. And
there Is nothing new, either, in most Of
the proposals which he has submitted to
the Commissioners. Nevertheless, the
situation is SO serious as to justify the
most careful consideration of the Chalk
plan, including reconsideration of sugges-
lions previously rejected.
All of the proposals for giving buses
more room for operation on the public
streets had been made, in one form or an
other, by the exiled Wolfson management
of the former Capital Transit Company.
These include drastic restrictions on curb
parking on bus routes, further bans on
turning by passenger cars in the down.
town section, reservation of certain street
areas as transit lanes" reduction in
the number of bus stops, etc. Bundled
with these recommendations were sew
eral expenSe-reducing and revenue-in-
creasing plans, such as charging the Dis
trict for shelters and benches at transfer
points, city paving of all bus-boarding
stations, operation of king-sized buses,
experimental midday shoppers express
buses and a novel parcel-carrying service
for downtown stores.
1t is likely that some Of these pro-
posalS are impracticable, for reasons
stated in the past Certainly several Of
them will be resisted by private car own
ers, who resent any attempt to prevent
their free use of the streets. But, in
weighing the program, it is essential that
the interest of the public at large-of the
city as a whole-be kept in mind. In any
event, 1t is gratifying to know that the
new transit management is alert to the
need for improving service and is willing
to try out variety Of remedies, old and
new.

Borqoin on Textiles

The agreement worked out between
Japan and the United States for limita-
ton of Japanese cotton textile exports to
this country offers promise of helping one
Of our most depressed industries. The
understanding, in brief, is that Japan will
voluntarily limit shipments to the 1855
level and will add further item-by-item
restrictions on products particularly dam
aging to special industrial sections"
within the United States. The new reg
ulations will take effect next January
and will be applied for "some years" In
return, the japanese Textile Export Coun-
ell has expressed the hope that our own
Government will discourage further dis
criminatory action against their textile
products at State and local levels in this
country.
There is no denying that imports Of
low-cost Japanese cotton textiles have cut
deeply into American markets in the past
few years. Some American mills have
been forced out Of business by COMPETE
ton they cannot match on a cost-and-
price basis. Even so, there are reasons
why protective action should not be
carried too far. While finding a market
here for much of its textile production,
Japan also provides market for approx
mately IS per cent Of our raw cotton ex-
ports. A complete embargo on Japanese
exports to this country probably would
turn Japanese mills to other sources for
their raw cotton Our own textile indus
try also exports in large volume to other
countries in the world, and a closing Of
our markets to Japanese production very
likely would lead to retaliatory action or
new competitive problems elsewhere In
addition, there is the practical considera-
ton that Japan must export to live. 1t is
an important ally in the Far East. re-
lationShip that could be destroyed by
extreme economic sanctions on our part.
The understanding now reached may
establish a permanent plateau on which
our own textile industry can make It's
long-term accommodations and adjust
mentS.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRAcEWELL

These often please watchers.
as strangely as this may sound
to others, who prefer to accept
and talk the official line, that
only native birds are worth
watching.
We have found that a bird
which does something to in
terest a watcher is a bird worth
watching.
From this standpoint, or
shall we say viewpoint. almost
any species will do. and this
attitude squares very we'll with
democracy, as such.
The aristocratic idea in bird
watching has its adherents,
just as in politics, but nature
knows nothing Of such divi-
sions.
A person in a hospital, for
instance. may be diverted no
end through tedious hours by
the antics Of some old startling
on the roof across the street.
A female English sparrow in
the cold may strike one as
quite as pretty as any bird,
with her neat gray breast and
soft feathers.
Often the smaller feathers
Of q birds head strike one as
fur.
It was this way with the
head feathers of the birds eat
ing chickweed in the little park
at Seventeenth and streets.
Ones longing to stroke
their heads was due to the
sudden idea that they we're
furry, instead Of feathery.
One stroke would have
changed all that. The feel OF
feathers is different from that
Of animal fur. and not as pleas
ant. not being as warm.
Feathers do very we'll for
birds. whose natural normal
temperatures are higher than
mans. Bird temperatures. in
various species. range from
lob TO Ill degrees.
Their feathers not only help
. to keep them warm. but being
oiled also manage to keep
them dry. This is the reason
most wildbirds do not seem to
mind in the least a rainy day,
but often rather enjoy II, 10
long as they have plenty Of
carbohydrates. as provided in
seeds. grains and bread, DUR
ing the cold season.
II is here that the average
household. out Of its surplus,
can help the feathered folk.

There follows an excerpt
from a letter dated November
Is written by our daughter,
Dorothy, an Oberlin graduate,
who has been studying music
in Vienna for the past year
and a half:
"Hungarians are thronging
out of Hungary. The biggest
camp, a receiving camp from
where they're sent to other
countries or private positions,
is a half-hour from Vienna. I
went out yesterday to work
with Quakers at giving out
clothes. A madhouse-5,00O
have been shipped through it
already and 5000 are there
and they're still coming. It's
an ex-military school with
very poor water and washing
facilities; no beds, only mats
and straw. We have three
rooms with a hall running
along. The refugees are inter-
viewed by a social worker who
writes down what they're to
receive: they present us the
card and we TX them up. We
had three women speaking
Hungarian and most every
thing else too at the table
talking to the refugees and we
ran for things. I've become an
expert at judging sizes-both
men and women-for under
wear, socks. Stacks and coats.
BY the nature of the work it
can't be too well organized so
we all had to run among the
three rooms. Quite exhausting.
especially since we didn't stop
-l5-minute break for lunch
was all.
BY the end I was so tired
/ was losing patience with peo-
pie who weren't satisfied
easily, especially with one girl,
about rs / guess, who wanted
a long coat and couldn't find
it. She could say too short
in German and that was the
extent of our conversation. I
could've given her a line about
1t being fur and very warm
even though short otherwise.
Suddenly, as I was looking at
her, just about to break down
myself from fatigue and frus-
tration, I saw she was too, and
that the coat being too short
was just a symbol for what
she was feeling about life now.
She was tired and alone and
scared stiff and goodness
knows what she had seen in
Hungary. After that wasn't
tired any more. I now realize
what it is those people need
most-npt the dry, warm
clothes but the feeling that
they matter to someone, that
their preference for a green
over a red shirt Is respected,
for instance"

Public Health Chief

The Commissioners have not
yet announced their choice for
the Districts new Director Of
Public Health who must take
over on February /, 1857. Indi-
cations have been that the
Commissioners hoped to obtain
the new director from outside
the District. but the yearly SAL
airy of about $4,000 is insuffi-
cient to accomplish this. Thus
the Commissioners may be left
with the alternative Of making
the appointment from within
the Districts Health Depart
ment.
There is a Joint responsible
ity to the unenfranchised citi-
zens of the District. Namely.
the Commissioners, acting with
the help of the medical schools
and the D.. C. Medical Society,
should make concerted effort
to provide a man Of the high
est administrative ability. Fail
ure to do this may perpetuate
inefficient autonomous units,
which by lack of coordination
waste the taxpayers money.
Failure to choose the proper
man may cause subversion of
the principle that good patient
care and medical education are
inseparable. improvements will
not be possible without atten-
ton to these matters.
When the choice is made,
the new director should be per-
mitted q reasonable amount of
time to acQuaint himself with
the present status Of the D. c.
Health Department. An anal
ys1s is in progress of the Dis
trict General Hospital by an
investigating committee APP
pointed by Congress. II the in
formation obtained from this
investigation were made avail
able to the new director, he
might be in a better position to
act prudently.
A unified effort to select and
support a new Director of Pub
lie Health in the District is
in order.

A man Of affairs-big affairs
spoke Of the music of the
birds on Sunday afternoon.
Maybe it was the atmos-
phere. he said, but the sounds
seemed louder and merrier and
altogether happier than on
most days.
Such times do come, now
and then. Nobody knows just
exactly what happens, or how.
but the sure thing is that the
birds attract your attention.
Then, on the other hand,
there is bird friend who
Swears that he never has any
birds in his yard on Sundays,
and he wonders why.
This. too. is difficult to
answer.
Usually there is less noise,
but that seems to make little
difference to the small flyers.
They manage to live on
crowded highways as well as
in shady deserted lanes.
They get used TO people.
Downtown, at that little park
at Seventeenth and / streets,
a hundred common sparrows
were eating chickweed, and
they refused to move. even
when people waiting for the
bus stood right over them.
One could have stretched
out a hand and stroked the
soft feathery heads, but re-
Trained, because surely few
wild birds would put up with
such familiarity.
The only other instance q
watcher could think Of was
some years ago at a 5 and 10
cent store, when singing ca
naries were turned loose on a
counter. and hoped around
fearlessly, with people stand
ing over them. But they we're
trained birds, both in singing
and actions.
There can be little question
that concentration around q
house, for whatever reason. Of
bird life. viii give the human
occupants the idea that there

Recent warm fall weather
kept here many specimens Of

WSTAS IN SCIENCE
is There Shell Around the Universe?
BY THOMAS R. HENRI

galaxies In the direction Of
least distance to the shell, or
outer boundary"
The mass which existed at
the beginning, about five bill
lion years ago, has been .
paradox for astronomers, DR..
Page explains.
THE temperature" he said,
would have been too high for
matter to exist at all and all
the sum total Of matter and
energy in the universe would
be in the form Of radiant
energy. Thus the earliest
phenomenon that can be post
ulated with any scientific
foundation is a binding flash
of light. intense beyond the
capabilities of human imag-
nation to conceive.
"On expanding from its
point of origin it would cool,
at FIRST with extreme rapidity.
Five minutes after the FIRST
generation Of this energy the
temperature would have cooled
down to a billion degrees. At
this temperature protons,
neutrons and electrons could
exist, but not atoms. In the
succeeding Is minutes all the
chemical elements would be
formed.
To-day the mass density of
matter in the universe far ex-
ceedS the mass density of ra-
diation. If the universe
started out as all radiation,
there must have been a time
when the total mass density
was equally divided between
radiation and matter.
Started With Gas Clouds
"AS matter gained the as
cendancy over radiation, 1t
began to react to forces Of
turbulence and gravitation,
and formed into great clouds
of gas. In time these clouds
contracted by gravitational
attraction to form the begin
nings of galaxies. But turbu-
lence, consisting Of eddies
within eddies, produced many
secondary and tertiary centers
of contradiction so that the
clouds of gas coagulated into
small Jumps which in turn fell
into larger ones. Whole HER
arches of suns, planets and
satellites were born"
This process, DR.. Page holds,
can account for all the OBJ
served types Of stars and their
arrangement. 1t provides, he.
says. "a satisfactory scientific
explanation for an amazingly
wide variety of observed phe-.
nomena and a value for the:
age of the universe which is
remarkably consistent with no
less than IL other mutually
independent indications Of
that age"
Some of the galaxies, he
said, are imbedded in gas and
still are growing. Others. red
in color and globular in form,
have used up all their gas and
are cooling of.
The present scientific theory
Of creation as an instantane-
Gus flash Of light agrees quite
we'll with the account in Gen.
esis, If terms are properly
interpreted.
