Mrs. M. L. r. Of Riverdale,
Md, wants to know why is it
that the robins never seem to
eat the food handed out to
them by humans?"
Oh. but they do. If you hand
out the right food. seedless
raisinS.
Raisins are liked by many
birds. including robins,
thrushes. mockingbirds and
cardinals. to say nothing of
common sparrows and star
lings.
Robins seldom eat at bird
feeding stations, because or
dinarily the feeders contain
nothing they like.
The best way to feed the
robins is to select some place
in the lawn, then throw raisins
there every day.
Once the birds get used to
the food and place. they will
come every day. and wait
patiently as they can to be fed.
Another thing they like is
coconut cake!
Which shows their good
taste. we think.
But not every one can pro-
vide them with this delicacy,
nor would do so. but If a stray
slice can be spared for them.
now and then. it will not 60
begging.
Cake. with its high calo-
ric values, makes good bird
food. not for every day, but
for now and then.
1t is here as with humans,
one may eat on occasion what
one knows is not good for one.
The robins have healthy
digestions, short alimentary
tracts. and plenty Of fresh air
and exercise.

might we'll characterize both
the robin and every other
species.
They are all heat motors,
In a sense, the fuel being both
proteins and carbohydrates.
Seeds. the staple food of
some species. are packed with
a difficult sort Of protein to
digest. Nuts. to many humans,
are impossible Of digestion, ex-
cept at the cost Of stress and
strain. Despite the fact that
they are often advocated by
food cranks, as they are some
times called, nuts are difficult
to digest by all except the
young.
Birds may be said to be al
ways young, as far as their
digestions are concerned.

and spoke with complete
frankness about conditions at
the Beach Camp in particular
and the refugee settlements in
general.
HE began by making it
clear to me that the Israeli
had taken me to the only
camp in Gaza-there being a
half dozen-which had serious
problems or grievances.
"The overall picture is quite
good he said. We have no
complaints to make about the
cooperation of the Israeli. If
you had gone to almost any
other camp you would prob
ably have heard compliment
tary things about the military
occupation. Even here at the
Beach Camp it all depends on
whom you talk to. There are
some trouble-makers. I am
afraid. and it is rather easy
to get a distorted picture
Il told him about the things
that we're disturbing you.
YES Col. Lucas said. we
have jurisdiction over these
camps, and any such outrageS
as were described to you it
is our responsibility to in
vestigate. We have checked
into all such charges and are
continuing to do so. Up to
now, we have found nothing
to support them. These investi-
cations have been more than
routine. On the basis Of what
we have learned so far. We are
unable to make any charges.
There is, Of course, a GER
tain amount Of loose conduct
in all armies under battle con-
ditions. But we have been
given nothing that can be re-
garded as evidence. Even so.
we have reported whatever
protests we received to the
Israeli military authorities.
last Friday, q woman was
murdered at the beach camp.
Some Of the Arabs charged
that the murder was commit
ted by an Israeli soldier when
the woman resisted his atten-
tons. This, too. we have been
investigating thoroughly. We
are also investigating the pos
sibility that the woman was
murdered by someone from
within the camp itself. It's a
fairly complicated story in
volving jealousy by q third
party; even here, however, we
have to do much more
checking"
1t should be noted that
Col. Lucas. who Is not an Is

Certainly the facts as stated
by Mr.. Cousins are entirely al

Robinson, whose retirement
announcement last Saturday
kicked up a fuss, confirmed a
Chicago Tribune story in which
he was quoted as saying the
Braves did not take care of
themselves down the stretch
and two or three Milwaukee
players were visiting night clubs
and bars until the wee hours of
the morning"
At his home at Stamford.
Conn, Robinson said: I'm afraid
I did say that" adding that he
was sorry cit had to come out :"
He did not name any of the Mil
waukee players supposed to be
involved. but promised: IF the
Braves pressure me to a point
where l have to. if they call me
a liar. If my back is against the
WALL will name Names"
Logan and johnson Reply
The original statements. made
before Waukegan. Ill.,. church
group Thursday night during a
question-answer session, brought
angry replies from Braves Short
stop Johnny Logan and Pitcher
Ernie johnson.
If Robinson had come out
and said this one and this one,
naming names, that would be
different. But it isn't fair to
make a general statement like
that" Logan declared.
Sure. We have a couple OF
players you have to watch, but
actually l don't think they were
running around. Robinsons lust
a rumor Spreader."
Johnson said: "As far as
know. none of the players stayed
out until the wee hours They
have too much sense for that. 1t
sounds to me like Robinson is
popping off again. ! don't know
what's wrong with that guy. 1t
seems to me he just wants to
keep in the headlines by making
cutting remarks. 1t makes inc
sick what people say when you

said he was really surprised" by
Robinson's statements. Il don't
want to say anything about it. "
Haney said. THE hell with it,
Let Robbie take his views and
I'll take mine"
Robinson. although insisting 1t
was fact. not rumor, answered
IT agree with Logan and
Johnson and any OF the Braves
for being angry. I'm wrong in
bringing ii out. l didn't intend
to touch off a rhubarb.
Jackie, a center of controversy
ever since he became modern
baseball's first Negro player in
1916 and whose retirement
junked his December Is trade to
the Giants. said he was speak
ing informally" when he made
his comments on the Braves
training habits.
The question answer period
touched on everything from RAJ
cia problems to recent baseball
trades. and Robinson saiu some
body asked me what ! thought
was the reason for the Braves
blowing the pennant So ! told
him
1t was church gathering
and said. Athletics and alcohol
don't mix.
I'VE went into Pittsburgh right
after the Braves had left. 1t was
late in the season and didn't
have much hope Of our being In

But a fellow told me two OF
three Milwaukee players had
