IMPROVED AIRLINE SERVICE
FOR PHOENIX

Sky Harbor Municipal Airport
will add fifth scheduled air.
line to it's operations on De-
cember /.
Western Airlines has been
authorized by the Civil Aero
nauticS Board to offer daily non
stop service between Phoenix
and Denver, and between Phoe-
nix and San Diego.
In addition the recent CAB
ruling permits the following new
types of service to be provided
by Bonanza and Frontier Air.
Lines:
Cd both nonstop and local
service between Phoenix and
Salt Lake City;
CD Palm Springs, Calf, as
a joint intermediate point with
Indio on Bonanza's present
Phoenix-LoS Angeles route;
CD and two-Stop service tc
Denver via Frontier Air Lines
after two daily trips to all its
intermediate points on the Den
yer route.
Westerns service to Denver
will open up air travel to cities
in wyoming, Nebraska, South
Dakota and Minnesota. It also
will provide air service between
Phoenix and the Pacific north
west. a
Four airlineS now serve the
Phoenix area and use the facil-
tiles of Sky Harbor. They are:
American and Trans World Air
lines which are transcontinentai
and Bonanza and Frontier which
are ragional. TWA flies the CEN
trail route and American the
southern from coast to coast.
Bonanza and Frontier generally
cover the territory north and
south. All carry thousands of
visitors annually into the VAL
ley of the Sun.

Local Labor Unions Voted
$4,000 To United Fund

For the first time in its his
toby, the local laborer's Unior
has voted to give four hours
pay per year to United Fund.
Albert H. Byasse, 1888 E. Mon

ton, Production, Maintenance
and Laborers Union, Local 383,
announced the action will
amount to a gift of approx
mately $4,000 to United Fund.
Mason Warren, business agent
and financial secretary of the
union, and president Phoenix
and Maricopa Federation of
Labor, (reSidence 1923 E. LewiS)
said that the group unanimous
ly voted to make the contrjbu-
ton through the local union
since the nature of the work
causes frequent change of en-
ployers. Membership is approx
mately 5000.
ByaSse said, when our peO-

Halfway WindfoH

With new highway needs accumu-
lating In the Washington area from day
to day, District highway engineers nat
urally are overjoyed to learn Of the
latest Federal-aid windfall for city
streets. The unexpected contribution,
believed to amount to several million
dollars Of interstate highway funds, is
earmarked for improving metropolitan
connections with the interstate highway
system.
The allotment of this additional
money to the District comes at pro-
pitious time, since the city recently has
been consulting with Maryland authori-
ties on tie-in link between Washington
and the proposed new Baltimore Wash
ington expressway. The Washington
approach OF this fine highway must be
adequate to handle the expressway's
traffic loads, or otherwise bottleneck
will be created. To provide an adequate
approach will involve construction by
the District of about four miles Of d.
vided highway of costly type. The
"bonus" from the interstate highway
fund will enable District highway en-
gineers to proceed actively with plans

Clear the Air

The infiated-fee charges directed
against County Board Candidate J.
Maynard Magruder in Arlington are
serious enough to justify special in
vestigation by the County Boards
several members Of the board have pro-
posed. The accusations were made by
Ralph Raul, a board member who is
supporting Mr.. Magruder's opponent,
Herbert L. Brown. Mr.. Magruder his
characterized the attack, launched In
the tail end Of the campaign, as 'pure
political chicanery." But. in fairness
to the voters as well as to Mr.. Magruder,
the charges should not be left hanging
in midair. Certainly the voters cannot
form an intelligent judgment of the
case on the basis either of Mr.. Kaul's
statement or Mr.. Magruder's reply. The
County Board, as the body responsible
for approving all payments TO Mr..
Magruder for his assessment services,
should make every possible effort to
clear the air Of the charges-and
promptly.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Or the little Maryland
yellow-throat, who will peer
at the watcher from high In
a shrub.
He wears q tiny black mask
across his face. and Is other
wise quite yellow.
Now is the time for the re-
turn Of the warblers from the
North. and one must be sat-
isf1ed with a sight of a few
OF them, now and then.
One specimen, Of course,
permits the watcher to put
the species down in his book.
Watching birds in the
home garden Is different
from watching birds in
groups on bird hikes, as these
walks are called.
In the latter event, one has
the assistance, usually. of a
man or woman trained in
ornithology.
In the home, most Of US
are wholly on our own.
With a few bird books. we
must do the best we can in
Identification. and often it is
a pretty difficult task, be-
cause somehow the birds look
so different in the yard from
their pictures in the book.
1t must be pointed out that
the background birds, as We
have called them. the faith
ful sparrows and starlings,
are not the total loss some
persons would indicate.
They are Gods creatures.
in a very real sense. and
often the only feathered
things to come to a yard in
any numbers.
One starting. on a hospital
window sill. has been known
to bring cheer and courage to
a sick person.
One Of Washington's most
scholarly men has told this
column that he was saved
from committing suicide BY
watching English sparrows in
his yard.
Their cheerfulness and
dignity" he said. made me
ashamed of myself"
So let it be understood,
please. that common birds.
though common. are birds,
too. and that they make up
for their lack Of red and
bright colors by their very
numbers.
An occasional blue jay will
bring all the flash to a city
yard any garden can have.

Like Queen Elizabeth and Prince
Philip, British news correspondents
appear to have been a bit baffled by
Saturdays fray at College Park. Judg-
ing from the stories they sent to their
papers back home. they tried hard to
understand 1t, but Just couldn't. The
''headdown huddles," the impact of
black-and-blue flesh against black-and-
blue flesh, the Intricate and secret pat
tern of play" the ritualistic hullabaloo
on the sidelines (including hot dogs,
hamburgers and the pretty prancing Of
pretty cheerleaders)-all this seems to
have filled them with a sort of confusion
so vast and so utter that they failed to
report the score of the game, or even
which side won 1t.
But let not our British cousins feel
dismayed. Most Of us Americans cherish
football, but not many of us really
understand what it's all about. The
sneak plays so befuddle us that half
the time we don't know who has the
ball. And our experts-the fellows who
spend the better part OF week predict
ing which team is going to win-are
always being upset by things like last
Saturdays bumper crop of upsets, in
GLIDING favored North Cardinals failure
to take the measure Of Maryland's
heroes. That's why, dear friends in
England, we have what we call Monday
morning quarterbacks. They straighten
everything out with the wonderful dis
cernment of hindsight, and then they
enchant us UNNECESSARILY as they pro-
coed from there to tell us what to expect
when Notre Dame meets Oklahoma or
Army prepares to sink the Navy.
Still, It's great sport, milords and
ladies, and Your Majesty, and you, too,
Prince Philip. Once you become ad-
dicted to 1t, and hunger for the clatter
and solemn small talk 1t causes every
fall week end, you get to love It even
though you never really get to know 1t.
That's its charm-a kind of sweet and
relaxing autumnal mystery that all of
us enjoy in these days when things like
Sputnik and sciences constant probing
Of natures innermost secrets seem
sometimes to be taking most of the fun
and glory out Of life. Anyhow, that's
the way we feel about American football.

Presidential Grammar

President Eisenhower, asked
in a recent press conference
by Newshen Pat Virgins for
advice on how to give up
smoking. had this to say: Il
really believe that If a per-
son turns their mind to some
thing else and quits plying
themselves about 1t, they
won't find 1t nearly as hard
to quit smoking as they think
it is" In that short presi-
dental comment there are
five grammatical errors. as
the following corrections by
this writer clearly show: II
really believe that II a per-
son turns his mind to some
thing else and quits plying
himself about 1t. he won't find
1t nearly as hard to quit
smoking as he thinks 1t is"

Flu Vaccine Scarce

The flu epidemic is EVIL

city. My family doctor tells
me that within the past week
he has been seeing Is to 20
cases daily. which is Just
about par with other family
doctors. And. he adds. at
the present time he has no
vaccine and has had very
little at all-only "a drop in
the bucket" He hears this
is true with most doctors.
Patients want 1t and ask for
it-but very little is being
released to private physicians.
Frankly. ! am confused as
TO why the Asian flu vaccine
is being released only in drib-
bles to private physicians for
their patients. j hear con-
stantly Of people employed
by food markets, banks. de-
partment stores and various
other types Of sizeable BUSH
nesses las we'll as most Gov
eminent Departmental who
are being given the vaccine
by their employers. Why are
thousands Of shots of this
vaccine being made available
to large private businesses
for their employees and prac-
tically none at all to our doc
tors for their patients?

Great Man From Denmark

Professor Niels Henrik David Bohr
Of Denmark well deserves all the honors
to be bestowed on him here tomorrow
as the worlds first winner OF the Atoms
for Peace Award Among other things,
he will hear President Eisenhower pay
tribute to him in the principal address
to be delivered at a special convocation
called by the National Academy of Sci
enceS. There, surrounded by a dis
tinguiShed company of scientists, Dip
lomats and industrialists, he will have
handed to him gold medallion and a
cash prize of $4,000.
But this award-establishe last
year by the Ford Motor Company Fund
to provide an incentive to scientists, Of
all lands to make the atom mans serv-
ant--represents only tiny fractional
token Of the value OF DR.. Bohr's contri-
button to the theoretical and practical
development of nuclear energy. In that
respect, few men have given as much to
mankind as he has. What he has given,
in fact, has been new knowledge far too
precious to be priced iristerms Of dollars
and cents--a gift which once moved the
AobC AAbCAb 1AitotShi w AAoh AAAtA no VII
questionably one Of the greatest discov-
erers of our age"
Now 70. DR.. Bohr has already at
tanned kind Of Immortality for what
he has achieved over the decades at his
world-renowned Institute of Theoretical
Physics at the University of Copenhagen.
He was mere youngster, only 20, when
the Royal Danish Academy Of Science
singled him out for its highest honors.
Fifteen years later, at 81, he won the
Nobel Prize for his pioneering explora-
ton of the structure Of the atom. and
he continued from then on to be prime
mover in opening up the vast and revo-
lutionary new frontier Of nuclear energy,
which now is full Of so much tremendous
promise and threat for men and nations
everywhere.
During the Second World War, after
fleeing to the United States from Nazi-
occupied Denmark, DR.. Bohr played
key role in the development Of the
A-bomb. But his heart has never been
in work having to do with the military
potentials Of nuclear energy. What he
has sought to do, above all, Is to help
make the atom tool for the benefit Of
all humanity, and his striving toward
that objective has been invaluable for
the whole world. Few things could be
more hitting, therefore. or more deserved
than the honors coming to him now.

Queens Ancestry

May ] presume TO correct
the impression given in Eddie
Gilmore's dispatch from Lon
don that it has Just been
discovered that Queen Eliza
beth II has American blood2
DR.. Anthony r. Wagner,
mentioned by Mr.. Gilmore
as the discoverer Of this fact,
published q paper on the
subject in the New York
Genealogical and Biograph-
ical Record In New York in
July, l939-eighteen years
ago. and q book giving the
same facts was printed by q
woman In Virginia in Sep

MED by a genealogical chart
tracing the descent from Col.
Augustine Warner / Of
George Washington and the
Queen through Augustine
Warner II and OF Gen.
Robert z. Lee through Sarah
Warner. q daughter Of the
senior Warner.
From the chart 1t is ap-
parent that the Queen is
more closely related TO WASH
ington than to Lee. On the
other hand. there is a later
cross-relationship - although
not by blood, between the
Queens line and General
Lees.
The Queens descent is
through Mildred Smith. a
great-granddaughter of War
ner. who married Robert
Porteus. Porteus married a
second time. and this wife's
sister. / believe, and Charles
Grymes were the great
grandparents Of Lee. Grymes
was a grandson OF Sarah
Warner Townley. mentioned
above. the colonel's daughter.
/ am glad that Mr.. Gil
more did not commit the
blunder that many have, of
saying that she is descended
from these distinguished
men. Aside from being in
correct. it would be most
embarrassing to the Queen
to have her descent from
Washington confirmed, since
he had no children through
Martha his only legal wife!

Dear Sir:
II would like to ask you
II you think 1t would do any
good to put out a bird feeding
station in a very crowded
city area?
I'VE do not have anything
but starlings and English
sparrows. with an occasional
robin in summer.
Would seed put out for
them attract any other spe-
cies, and do you think they
would be in sufficient num-
bers TO afford any amuse-
ment in watching them?
II am a country person,
that is. I come from deep
Virginia. where we had many
birds Of all kinds. including
some gulls. now and then.
Il miss the bird life. and
thought ! would try to at
tract more kinds.
Very truly. j. N"
Here as elsewhere, there Is
nothing like trying.
Not far from our CORE
spondent's address a resident
has managed to count "a
different species Of birds.
A well-stocked feeding sta
ton, with suet on the side,
and q water basin kept full.
will often do wonders in this
respect.
It may take a good time
and for the first three or four
weeks few birds will come:
and. of course, If there are
starlings. these may seem to
take all the food.
But If one is persistent.
and really likes to watch
bird life. in time more and
more will venture near.
=
Determined bird watchers
usually manage to count at
least 80 species in the city.
and more than 20 in the
nearby suburbs. with the
count running to more than
a hundred different species
farther out. closer to the
farms and forest areas.
It must be stressed that no
place has all these birds all
the time.
One is fortunate. no mat
ter where he lives. if he sees
one or two Baltimore orioles
in 20 years, or If he can put
down on his list one scarlet
tanager, or the blue buntingS
whose feathers are colored
much like the paper which
comes around absorbent
cotton.

permits the patient TO wear
ordinary correcting glasses
instead Of the heavy lens
necessary after o conven-
tional cataract operation.
On the whole. they said,
the lis patients did well fol-
lowing the operation. Most
of them had remarkably
good distant and near vision
without glasses. Most Of
them can read quite well
without glasses.
Direct vision is better in
the conventionally treated
cases. but the field Of vision.
orientation and perspective
are better in cases which
have had this operation, the
doctors said. In fact, a COM
mercial pilot who underwent
the operation "astounded
civil aeronautics examiners
with his remarkable depth
perception"
Patients IL TO 80
The patients ranged In age
from IL to 80 years. They
showed various adverse reac-
tons and complications after
the operation. However, in
most cases these were not
serious and responded to
treatment. Four plastic
lenses had to be removed
after the operation. Three
of these patients. however.
now have good vision with
the strong lenses necessary
after the conventional cata-
ract operation.
The procedure should be
used. the surgeons said,
mainly in cases where only
one eye has a cataract, so
that afterwards both eyes
can be used together. Cata-
racts in young people. they
said. are more difncult to
manage and do not offer as
good an outlook as In other
types.
