THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

These others have lived
with hawks for centuries.
They have built UP habits
of flying into shrubbery and
bushes and hedges when the
lazy winging is seen in the
skies.
In fact, the Indifferent bird
is the one to be taken, and this
also may be one of natures
methods of getting rid Of the
unfit. in her rather cruel way.
The hawk flies in, and settles
In q tree, comparatively low
down, where he can watch the
site Of a possible meal.
He flies straight as an arrow
at his prey, and usually does
not miss.
He tears of many feathers,
as he pierces the heart with
his sharp bill. He flies away
with his prey. Thus an
other sad story is told in
nature. but it is not enough
to justify the destruction Of
all hawks.
Actually. they are beautiful
and interesting birds, and a
continual reminder to man to
stand up straight.
If the owner of q bird
feeding station cares to do it, he
can scare the hawks away by
a few forays from the house
with a rolled newspaper.
which he presents in gun
fashion to the sky.
The hawk is canny, he has
been there before, and he
knows what that sight and
that motion mean.
This Is better than to kill
hawks Just because they are
hawks.
The modern attitude is to
let them live. realizing that
there are far worse hazards
to bird life, including some
made by man, himself, such as
too bright lights. inimical
sprays. and guns Of all kinds.
No one yet knows the possible
harm to birdlife from bomb
fallout.

View Of Hiqh Bench

Well. I see our left-wine
Supreme Court has done it
again!
Recently they have handed
down four decisions against
the best interests Of the Ameri-
can people. Chiefly Of note
is the one opening FBI files
to every insidious BLACKBOARD
whose principal occupation is
the overthrow Of our Govern
ment. Bulganin must be
Achuckling in his beard over
that one! fs4
/ can't recall at the moment
q single decision by which
the court has aided our law
enforcement agencies in their
fight against communism or
afforded effective Stacking Of
communistic activities. OF
course, this Is all done under
the guise Of protection to indi-
vidual liberties. but what the
justices overlook are the liber-
ties Of a great majority of loyal
Americans who. I predict, will
some day suffer great anguish
because Of the manipulations
of these nine men who have
been packed into a formidable
group by the last three admin
istrations.
OF course, we should have
been alerted TO the type Of
jurists they are at the time
Of the school decision in May,
1854. That was the most un-
constitutional hoax ever per-
petrated upon the majority Of
Americahs--it was based upon
psychological, social and politi-
cal expediency. The court, in
that case, uttered pious mouth
ings, quoting certain amend
ments which they wished to
quote. and completely ignor-
ing others which would offer
opposition to their wished-for
decision.

Russell point Of order, among
them ct least eight regarded as
belonging to the liberal wing Of
the Democratic Party. Out.
standing in this category were
Senator'S Morse Of Oregon and
Kennedy Of Massachusetts.
What effect II any this vote
viii have on the political
careers Of these gentlemen is
merely q matter Of conjecture.
Senator Kennedy has to run
for reelection next year, and
he is being widely discussed as
q possible contender for the
Democratic presidential NOM
nation In 1860. While his
vote on the Russell point Of
order may aid him in the
South it certainly will not help
him in States like Pennsylva-
MIA, New York and Illinois,
which have large Negro voting
groups.
Three Senators. Bridges Of
New Hampshire. Chavez of
New Mexico and Flanders Of
Vermont, two Republicans and
one Democrat, were not re-
corded in any way on this vote.
There is one Senate vacancy
due to the death of Senator
Mccarthy Of Wisconsin, Re-
publican.
Timing Is Next Question
The all-important question
now arises as to when an
effort will be made to bring
the civil rights bill before the
Senate for consideration and
action. It is generally be-
lieved that no move in this
direction will be made until
July. The Southern Demo-
Gratis opposing civil rights
legislation will fight vigor-
ously to stall of any vote
on this legislation. They
will fiilibuster, it is ex-
pected, to the absolute limit.
Apparently only two weapons
to break the filibuster are
available to the supporters of
the civil rights bill. The first
is to keep the Senate in con-
tinuous session, wear down the
opposition and force a vote
when the opponents are ut
terly exhausted. This is a
test of physical endurance
which could be carried brutally
far. It has been used in the
past to break filibusters but
never when there were so many
Senators committed to an all
out fight to prevent a vote as
there are in connection with
this measure. There are "a
Senators from the solid South.
They have allies in some Of
the border States and might
even have the support Of a
very few Senator's who on
principle are against running
over a minority by such means.
The second weapon is to in
woke the cloture rule. To do
this successfully the support
ers Of civil rights legislation
must have 81 affirmative Sen.
ate votes. two-thirds of the
Senate. This is a difficult goal
on any issue. Unless the Sem
ate is prepared to stay here
far into the summer, it seems
likely that the showdown
fight on civil rights will be post
poned until the session opens
next January. The President
could call q special session Of
Congress in the fall. if he
wished, to deal with this
matter.

Naval Review

The United States Navy de-
serves the Nations thanks for
its magnificent planning and
execution Of the recent In
ternational Naval Review
at Hampton Roads honoring
Jamestown's 350th anniver-
sary.
There was one important
but little publicized feature
that should rate the Navy a
: special. commentator for q
splendid job of human rela-
tons. This was the masterful
way in which Admiral Jerauld
Wright. commander in chief
Of the Atlantic feet, and his
officers and crewmen acted as
hosts to the thousands of visit
ing officers and crewmen from
warships Of II allied nations.
1t was our privilege to visit
Spanish. British. French, Ital-
ian. Dominican. Portuguese and
Dutch warships after the re-
view. Officers on each ship
we're enthusiastic and grateful
for the many courteSies ex-
tended to them by the United
States Navy during their visit.
Many incidents could be cited
to show the mutual admira-
ton and the warm friendship
and good will between Amer
lean and foreign naval person.
mel. at Norfolk. We feel sure
that these foreigners-our al
lies-will take home to their
own countries nothing but the
friendliest Of feeling for the
United States.
A salute, therefore, to Ad-
miral Wright and his officers
and crew for staging not only
a superb. well-executed, long
to- : be : remembered naval re-
view. but also for adding so
much to the friendship be-
tween our country and our
allies.

For Sofety's Sake

AlJnOugn the communists are ralllng
against 1t, the United States and the
United Nations Command have done the
right and necessary thing in serving no
tice that they will no longer abide by
that part of the Korean armistice which
governs the nature and volume of weap-
ons and other military equipment per-
Missile for both sides. The action is
wholly in keeping with the realities of
the situation. Not to have taken it land
1t might well have been taken months ago)
would have been tantamount to exposing
the forces of freedom to an ever-growing
Red totalitarian menace.
This is so because the Chinese and
North Korean Communists, with the con-
nivance Of the Soviet Union, have been
fiagrantly violating the military restric-
tions set forth in the 1858 truce agree
ment. Instead of honoring their pledges,
they have been brazenly engaged in a
steady and fairly spectacular moderni-
cation and buildup of their armed
strength, especially in the form of Jet
planes and airflelds, far beyond the linn
its permitted by the armistice Mean
while, for many months past, by showing
good faith while they have been showing
bad faith, by living up to our word while
they have been breaking theirs, we and
our allies in the U. NJ Command have
suffered a constantly increasing disad-
vantage in the balance Of power existing
In Korea between them and us.
In sum, as President Eisenhower is
on record as saying, the Korean "situa-
ton has, for long, long time, been UNI
satisfactory because the armistice
Is not being kept in its original terms
north Of the line; and we have been keep
ing 1t, and this puts on us a great bur-
den, because we have to support, in many
cases, obsolete equipment, when the
other side doesn't" But this will now
change to, the extent deemed essential
for the security of freedoms forces in
Korea. AS the Communists have been told
at Panmunjom, the United States and
the U. N. Command will forthwith take
the measures that have become impera-
particularly in the field of let air
power-to counter the Red violations in
a way designed to equalize things and
tnus bring about safer military balance.
OF course, as our side has emphasized
at Panmunjom, such action will not affect
our continuing adherence to the cease
fire and other provisions of the armistice.
Although the Communists have accused
us OF wrecking the whole agreement. it
Will remain In force unless they them
selves breach 1t fatally by resorting to
some shooting move, which seems UNI
likely. In any event, regardless of their
reactions, their truce violations-viola-
lions casting grave doubt on the sin
certify OF all Moscow eiping talk about
mutual trust, disarmament and peace.
ful Acoexistence-have compelled us to
act as we have for safety's sake, in ac-
cord with the fundamental law OF self
preservation.
