I wish to enter my sincere

AS a Government worker he
could only make $4,000 a
year and then would not be
faced with the problem of
paying so much in taxes. This

In a recent issue OF the
Star. you printed one of the
most enjoyable contributions
by Dorothy Thompson I have
ever read. She has a much
stronger appetite for break
fast than ! have. but what
she says about tea is de-
lightful.
My father was born in Liv-
erpool. He liked tea as strong
as she describes, but mother
seldom gave it to him, for
she thought the number of
cups he drank per day. espe-
cially after work in the late
afternoons, made the sum
total of tannin consumed
sufficient for health.
Miss Thompson forgot to
say that the charm Of after
noon tea is also the aesthetic
sense of the combination of
relaxed comfort, fine tea and
exquisite china. Tea is diff
ferent when served in ordi-
nary china or in my precious
Japan porcelain.
I wrote a paper on tea once
long ago to read before a club
and in my researches on the
subject / ran across a Chi
nese emperor's recipe for tea.
Here it is.

AS one Of the one and one
half million Americans who
did" Europe this summer, I
have brought home with me
certain impressions.
Actually, I suppose l did
not do" Europe. I went
there on semiofficial business,
at the invitation of the Fed
eral Republic of Germany to
serve as a member of the jury
Of the seventh annual Berlin
Film Festival.
After the festival, ! lin

would not be inaccurate to
say that / fingered rather
widely. this being the most
effective way to get the
broadening effects Of travel.
At any rate. my lingering

ultimately from there by au-
tomobile to Paris.

1t is inevitable that one shall
look at them comparatively.
their ways of life as con-
traSted with our own. In
many respects. this COMPARE
son is flattering to the Eu-
ropeans.
One of these. which adds
UP to one Of my most vivid
impressions, is that the Euro
peans use the outdoors more
rewardingly than we do. In
its simplest terms. they seem
to use it to live in, while we
turn it into a playground.
The outdoors in Europe is
Just that. a place of sunlight
and shade. moonlight and
night winds. an airy space
in which to set up tables on
the sidewalks or under the
trees, and in which to use
leisure for the good OF the
spirit rather than the body.
Conversely. it is less an area
to be laid out in golf courses
or tennis courts. or marked
of into baseball diamonds,
all delightful and useful in
themselves but more calcu-
lated to produce the body

In looking through The
Evening Star of July 81. I
noted an article by David
Lawrence on the subject
Statistics and the Cigarette
Issue Since I am interested
in both subjects I read the
article.
! take it that Mr.. Lawrence
is a smoker or he would not
come to the defense of the
cigarette. His illustrations Of
cause-and-effect studies were
very amusing and of the
point. Even If the statistics
were not a good reason to
avoid the use Of cigarettes,
there are other evidences that
are good enough to avoid the
use Of tobacco. One of the
best reasons is that the To-
bacco plant is poisonous
throughout, and is not made
less poisonous in the process
Of being made into cigarettes.

lining material for the mother
squirrels.
Father and mother squir-
rels often eat the tiny flowers
of the naples and other trees.
1t is as nest liners that
leaves, especially those Of the
locusts, have their best souri,
rel uses.
A mother squirrel will seize
a outhful of the small
leaves, and roll them into a
ball with her paws, then
carry them away to the
chosen site.
1t is commonplace with
these shrewd rodents never
to build their nests in the
same trees from which they
get their leaves.
Usually they select q build
ing site a hundred feet or
more away, and there carry
the rolls of leaves, with which
they construct the large
nests, something like crows
nests.
These squirrel nests are
best seen in winter.
Then the green leaves do
not get in the way, and the
nests show up for what they
are, the cradle and tempo
rary refuge of the young
squirrels.
This is but one point in
winter tree inspection.
The main feature in look
ing at trees in the cold is
that the shape is then seen
as it is in natures book.
Mans book of nature con-
tains many man-made inter-
pretations of what is seen.
as well as much inexactitude
not really present but only
put there because somebody
or other thought poorly.
In winter, the divine shape
Of trees reveals itself in all
its pleasantness. This is the
essential tree, not the tree Of
leaves and blossoms at all.
but the inner symmetry i'm
posed by nature in the first
place.
So, with all your study of
trees, always a pleasant oc-
cupation. reserve a time in
winter, and determine now
not to forget it. when the
real trees can be seen as
they are. not as the snowy
leaves make them seem.

THE POLITICAL MILL
Democratic Problem in California
By GOULD LINCOLE

The great game Of polit-
ical guessing in California is
not confined 20 the Repub-
licans. Attorney General Ed
mund G. (Pat) Brown, the
only Democrat to hold State
wide important political Of
flee in the State. Is being
pressed by party leaders to
say whether he will become
a candidate for Governor in
next years election. Brown
twice has been elected at
torney general. when all the
rest Of the State ticket was
going Republican. He is re-
garded as the Democrats
best vote-getter. Up to date,
however. Brown has declined
to announce his plans. It is
believed he did give some
assurance to his party col
leagues, at q recent get
together in Bakersfield, that
he would make q statement
about the middle Of Septem-
Der.
Brown has been urged in
the past to run for Governor,
for Senator. ETC.. but he has
been skittish. This time, he
has said. he wants to make
a survey Of his own to de-
termine whether the Dem
Gratis have a good chance in
next years election. The
party leaders are anxious to
get underway. If Brown is
not to run, they want an
opportunity to find and build
up another candidate and
they want a year to do it
in. Brown has expressed the
opinion that he could defeat
either Gov. Knight or SEN
ator Knowland. Republicans,
in a race for Governor-but
he hasn't said, an rum"
Until he does speak. things
democratic in California are
at skies and sevens.
BrOwn-Engle Team Strong
For example. Representa-
tive Clair Engle of the I'd
congressional district, eight
times elected to the House
and former assistant Demo-
ocratic whip of that body.
will likely become an active
candidate for the Senate
Democratic nomination if
Brown runs for Governor. The
Brown-Engle team might be
hard for the Republicans to
defeat. Senator Knowland,
Republican leader OF the
Senate. has announced ne
will not be a candidate to
succeed himself. Practi-
cally everyone expects him to
seek the gubernatorial NOM
nation. If he does. he prob
ably will win the nomination,
even If Gov. Knight makes a
contest of it. Knowland has
a strong following in the
State. He also appeals to
registered Democrats as well
as to Republicans-he won
both the Democratic and Re-
publican senatorial nomina-
tons the last time he ran in
1852.
Senator Knowland, like
Brown, is still to make for
NAL announcement of his flu
ture political plans. Proba-
bly, Brown would like very
much to know if he is to be
opposed by the Republican
Senator. 1t could have some
effect on his decision to run
or not to run. AS of today,
Brown looks to be the only
strong Democratic POSSIBLE

house mind.
! am not making a choice,
let it be understood, between
the body tan and the mind
reflective, but a summer in
Europe emphatically suggests
that one is as desirable as the
other. And. further, it sug-
gests that with the prospect
Of the four-day, 32-hour
week. it might be an excellent
idea for us to strike a better
balance in the development
of our outdoor facilities.

wrong, let me say, with a put

White House facilities. On

not be something delightfully."-

for coffee at 1890 on Tues
day mornings? Any subse-
quent flight to Burning Tree
would be merely an extension
of the JOY of living after a
brief interlude Of the Joy of
thought and discussion.
And. before leaving this
thought, what would be the
effect of the common denom-
inator of nature-sunlight or

tisan parties the President
throws for congressional

There are two times of
the year to look at trees-in
summer. when they are in
full leaf. and in winter, when
they have no leaves at all.
Everybody loves a tree in
summer. when it gives shade,
and protects the wayfarer
from sudden thunderstorms,
at some risk to his life from
lightning.
1t is in winter that you
can see a tree best. This is
contrary. perhaps, to the
common idea. All those
leaves!
The framework of a tree
is actually the tree. This
means the trunk and the
branches, and the invisible
roots.
Leaves are just window
dressing. after all.
+ \ y
No human can understand
Just what a tree means to a
bird, or even a squirrel.
Possibly the bushy-tailed
ones like trees even better
than the feathered people.
Squirrels are born in trees,
always. whereas some birds
are Matched on the ground,
and others in bushes. and
some even in caves Of houses,
as the common sparrows.
Young squirrels find trees
their cradle, nursery and
gymnasium.
Trees mean life to the
squirrel tribes. not only as
young things. but also as
elders.
A squirrel can almost al
ways find safety by running
up a friendly trunk.
Cats, too.
Though not rodents. most
cats can climb very well.
1t is only in the coming
down that the housecat
shows he is no squirrel. He
does not balance any too
well, either, on branches and
boughs.
Mother cats which teach
their kittens properly, show
them how to come down a
tree head up. In this way,
the claws contact we'll. and
hold the animal. Kittens
which insist on trying to
come down head first are
unable to make proper con-
tact.
Tree bark is heaven-made
for squirrels and cats, and
for birds, too. Some species.
such as the sometime-ma-
ligned Jays, love to hide seeds
in crevices, where they are
mostly found by smaller
species. such as the downy
woodpecker and the brown
creeper.
Tree leaves serve as nest

ity for the governorship. If
Brown should say no." a
flock Of Democratic hope
fuls probably will begin try
ing their wings for the norni-
nation. Also, if he should
decline to run for Governor,
Mr.. Engle might take a Diff
ferent look at the senatorial
race. He probably would not
care to help head up a
Democratic ticket with a
weak candidate for Cover
nor as his running mate.
KnOwIand's Role
Senator Knowland is COM
ing out Of the fight in the
Senate over the civil rights
bill as the leader in the effort
to have the House bill bypass
the Senate judiciary Com
mittee, headed by Senator
Eastland Of Mississippi, foe
Of all civil rights legislation,
and 60 to the Senate calen-
dar-a contest which Sena-
tor Knowland won. He also
is responsible for the deci-
sion to seek action on a civil
rights measure at the pres
ent session of Congress, not
withstanding the fact it is
keeping the legislators in
session for most Of the sum-
mer. He and the Eisenhower
administration did not get all
they wanted, but they got a
bill passed II the first civil
rights bill to pass the Sen
a tie since Reconstruction
days. If he decides to run for
Governor, he will be a tough
man for any Democrat to
beat-Brown or anyone else.
The most recent guessing
on the Republican side in
California has been related
to the part Vice President
Nixon will play in the guber-
material struggle. OF course,
he is not to be a candidate
for Governor himself. If Sen
ator Knowland runs, Nixon is
expected to support him
against Gov. Knight or
to keep his hands entirely of
the primary. He is not ex.
pected to support Knight. He
has no more use for Knight
than Knight has for him.
Knowland and Nixon are
today the two foremost can
didates for the Republican
presidential nomination in
1860. If Knowland becomes
Governor-of the second
most populous State-he may
have the California delega-
ton at the COP. national
convention. That is a chance
Nixon must take, however.
It's more important for Nixon
to have California go Repub-
sDican in 1958-if he, Nixon. is
to be a candidate for the
presidential nomination as he
is expected to be. Further.
Nixon has a big following
among Republican leaders
and workers throughout the
country. He might win a
number of presidential pref
erential primaries before the
California primary is held,
for that will be one Of the
latest, unless the State cleo
ton laws should be changed.
The Republicans have had
the bulge in California for
a number of years. Today
they have the Governor, two
Senators and Tito IS Demo-
Gratis in the House. In the
State Senate the parties have
an even split. and in the As
sembly there are 43 Republic
cans and 81 Democrats.
