New Board Member

The Washington public school sys-
TEN is fortunate in obtaining the serv-
ices of DR.. Preston A. McLendon as a
member Of the Board of Education. DR..
McLendon's interest in the physical and
mental welfare Of children should be Of
special value to the board in the handling
Of health and behavioral problems as
they affect overall policy. In addition
to his numerous professional activities
he is a member of the Commissioners
Youth Council and is chairman of the
Committee on Juvenile Delinquency of
the American Academy Of Pediatrics.
DR.. McLendon's appointment and the
reappointment of Mrs. Frank s. Phillips
and of Wesley s. williams attest the
careful attention given the board selec-
tons by Judge Kirkland and his fellow
committeeman of District Court judges
This is a dif1cult extracurricular assign
ment for which the community is in
debted to the judges Whether they like
the task or not, they have always per-
formed it well. =

make 1t less efficient as traffic-relief
facility than bridge. However, District
officials have said they would accept a
six-lane tunnel If Congress so decrees-
provided the project is 100 per cent
Federal undertaking.
Tunnel proponents have been en-
couraged by the recent rejection by the
Senate District Committee Of a proposal
for flxed-Span bridge at Constitution
avenue. Members of the committee at
tributed the rejection to Representative
Howard Smiths insistence on a draw
span for the benefit OF two firms whose
boats occasionally use the Georgetown
channel. Significantly, Mr.. Smith is
chairman Of the powerful Rules Com
mittee, which controls the gateway to
the floor for all bills.
In view of the Smith stand, atten-
ton once more Is being given to the
Broyhill tunnel bill. This calls for only
a four-lane tunnel, however. It would
be a serious blunder to build tunnel
OF fewer lanes than the six which trafflc
authorities assert are required to handle
trafflc across the river In the central
area. The Broyhill bill, however, does
direct the Interior Department (National
Park Service) to bear the tunnel cost.
And this would be quite an item, too.
It is estimated that a six-lane tunnel
would cost from $37.5 million to $47.8
million, as compared with a six-lane,
draw-span bridge cost of from STA mil
lion to $20.4 million.

Fair Enough

The Civil Aeronautics Board has
taken a sensible step against the no.
shows. These are the people who make
flight reservations and then fail to put
In an appearance at departure time. Many
Of them even buy their tickets in advance,
but they're miles away when the plane Is
ready to 60. They've postponed their trip
for one reason or another without bother
ing to tell the airlines, and up to now the
fares they've paid have been refunded.
Beginning in September, however, a
new CAB ruling will 60 into effect in an
effort to put check on all this. Under
the ruling, people who have made reserva-
tons will have to pick up and pay for
their tickets within a certain fixed time
limit, or else they will lose the space al
lotted to them. AS for those who have
already paid their fares and then failed
to appear for the take-off, they will still
get their refund-but with So deducted
as penalty.
This is fair enough. For the no-shows
have become real nuisances, making the
airlines lose revenue and depriving other
prospective passengers of space that would
be available If it were not being held for
the missing eservation-makers. Although
not likely to accomplish miracles, the
CAB ruling deserves to be hailed as some
thing that should help to cut down on
the growing numbers Of such inconsid-
crate people.

AS the impasse over Potomac bridge
at Constitution avenue continues, the
prospects Of tunnel to appease the
National Park Service grow stronger.
However, 1t ought to be clearly under

1t would be unjust to assess the Dis

more than bridge. The District High

Blood Emergency

It would be difficult to explain to
person in need of blood TRANSMISSION
the apparent reason for the current
shortage of blood. How does one tell
suffering or dying person that 1t was
just too hot recently to keep the blood
supply at the required level? Yet Red
Cross officials believe that 1t was the
heat wave which caused serious drop
In blood donations, creating critical
shortage Of the ife-sustaining fluid.
Because of the emergency, the Red
Cross has Just issued second urgent
appeal for blood donors. They are re-
minded that the Blood Center at 2025
E street NV. is air-conditioned Appli-
cants of all ages, between 10 and go, are
invited to help restore the blood supply
to normal proportions. Every donor
should keep in mind the fact that the
life he saves may be his own.

VIII History Repeat?

As chairman, nearly 80 years ago,
of the Board of Trades first Aviation
Committee, Lawrence E. Williams was
in the thick of the long campaign that
preceded final selection of the site and
construction of Washington's present
National Airport. The point of his inter-
esting letter, which appears on this page
today, is that it was only the direct action
of President Franklin d. Roosevelt which
made that airport possible. Had the long
debate over where the airport was to
be located been permitted to run its
course, we doubt that any airport would
have been built. President Roosevelt
made the decision on the site, then
ordered the work to begin.
We think there is more than one
parallel between the debate over the
location of what is now the National
Airport, and the debate over where to
locate the second airport that has be-
come so necessary. And we doubt that
this second debate will be settled without
the personal Intervention of the Presi-
dent of the United States. The number
Of agencies involved in a decision, and
the number Of special interests affected
by the results of a decision, require
strong and direct executive action. If
the President sits on the sidelines and
awaits developments, he and others viii
be waiting for long, long time.

These include ground ham,
burger. or other meat, scraped
beef, the yolk of hard boiled
egg, and small bits Of bread
and milk.
Each feeding is prefaced
with water, and then one Of
the above foods is put on the
end Of a toothpick and poked
at the birds bill.
After a certain number Of
bites. the bill closes, and can
not be opened. This means
that the creature has enough
for the time being. Being
completely natural, when it has
enough, it has enough. Only
human beings eat after they
have had enough.
Bits Of liver may be fed, now
and then. and very occasionally
a quarter of a seedless raisin.

The young bird must be kept
out Of the sun at all times. In
nature. this is done by the
mother bird on the nest.
The box in which it is kept
should have a screen over it, to
keep it from fluttering out.
Not only is there some dan
ger Of it being stepped on, in
an average household, but it
may wander beneath a piece Of
furniture. There it is dark,
and in darkness q bird falls
asleep.
Such a wanderer will not re-
spond to calls, and might even
die there. So keep a screen
over it.
Insects and worms are the
natural foods Of all baby birds,
regardless Of species, because
Of their protein content.
After the young bird has
grown up to be able to fly q
bit, it may want its other nat
ural foods. seeds, If it happens
to be a seed-eating bird.
II not, as a robin, it will con-
tinue with the foods named, Of
course.
When the baby bee o m es
strong. 1t will try out its wings,
and then the owner must take
1t outdoors for trial flights.
At first it will return to the
finger. but as time goes on, a
day will come, when it will not
come down to call, and that is
that-one more bird has been
added to the millions Of free
flying children of nature.
One who attempts to bring
up a baby bird by hand should
not feel too bad If he or she
fails. A woman, perhaps, makes
the best raiser, naturally
enough, and If successful, the
rewards are many. If there
must be gaps in the feeding
program. these will not do
harm. If not needlessly pro-
longed. Even as absence Of q
day may not do real harm.
provided food is quickly avail
able thereafter. Sometimes
this is better than to turn the
job over to @ novice.

Gretchen witt.

I wish to thank Commits
sioner Karrick and others for
the prompt reply to Senator
Paul Douglas regarding the
raising of the Districts real
estate taxes.
Also. I think someone, in
answer to Representative John
Taber. should not only sug-
gest but also put through some
sort Of ruling that all real
estate will be taxed in the Dis
trict. BY this I mean all real
estate. whether owned by the
United States Government or
a foreign nation. Then If the
United States thinks the for
eign governments should not
be taxed, let the United States
Government reimburse tn e
foreign governments.
The District is truly taxed
without representation, and
this just goes to show how
much we need representation
in Congress.

A I'd Airport-When?
(See editorial, "WNl History
RoSaonf2Ol

(See editorial, "WNl History
RepeGt?")
Although the need for a
second airport for Washington
has long been obvious. the
solution is still delayed by rea-
sons that long postponed con-
struction Of Washington Ma
tional Airport-confiicts of in
terest. Strangely, the positions
Of the conflicts are reversed.
In the first instance, the air.
port was desired as q neigh
Dor. Today communities want
it as someone else's neighbor.
When the present airport
was originally conceived, prox-
unity to the Washington busi-
ness center was recognized as
a prime requisite, and the
Gravelly Point site was a
natural. Close to downtown
Washington, and available by
river reclamation, it did not
require land purchase. 1t would
provide all the area then be-
lieved necessary. Nevertheless,
SPECTATORS optioned possible
sites. Communities clamored
for selection. One large level
tract was generally believed
to be under option to a legis-
lator powerful in District af-
fairs. Thus, the lines of con-
flict were drawn, and it was
impossible to obtain congress
sional action.
AS early as 1927 it had be-
come apparent that Hoover
Airport. the present site Of
the Pentagon. was too small
and would never I'LL the air
needs Of the Nations Capital.
That same year Lindbergh
made his solo flight to Paris
and interest in aviation
zoomed. Perhaps the airplane
did have q place in the trans
portation scheme after all.
The Washington Board Of
Trade then created an Avia-
ton Committee. From early
1928 that committee CAM
paigned continuously for
Washington National Airport.
Many outstanding national
figures raised their voices in
support. Among these perhaps
the most articulate was Capt.
Eddie Rickenbacker, whose
statements as to trafflc growth
seemed visionary. Now we
realize how conservative he
was.
Not until October. 1910. was
Washington National Airport
dedicated. and then by Pres
ident Franklin d. Roosevelt.
Only the Presidents direct
action had made the airport
possible. He had ordered 1t
built and had, as he put It,
ito scrape the bottom of the
barrel for funds"
1t Is obvious that only
strong executive action will
end the present conflict. May
such action come before dis
aster strikes.

Some Of the most exciting

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES {. TRACEWELL

Not a robin or other baby
bird can fall without some
kind human picking it up.
Wind and rain storms
play havoc with nests. Just
what happens to the parents
is something Of a mystery.
Often in storms they cover
the babies. evidently some
times they do not.
At any rate. the young fall
out, and there they are. and
it is just then that some
human. often a child. happens
along.
The appeal Of the grounded
young bird seems to be uni
versal. No age or sex is i'm
mune; the fallen baby cries
with open bill, and there you
are.
\ 4 y 4
II possible, it is best to put
the fallen ones back in the
nest.
But care must be taken to
see if the parents are still
on the job.
One time, they will be; an
other, they won't: so the
human watcher must use his
eyes and keep others away.
not to brighten on the par
ents.
If no parents show. within
half a day. the babies must
be removed to q cardboard
carton, If one has it, or to
a cage, If fortunate enough.
Then the feeding must be
undertaken.
Birds Just fallen out Of nests
may be fed once an hour dur
ing the daylight hours. Feed
ing at night is not necessary.
Parent birds feed the young
mostly every five minutes, but
this is a perfection human be-
ings can scarcely attain;
once an hour is about as good
as one can do. and even this
will prove a chore.
The baby is lifted from the
box and held on the left fore
finger, while a medicine drop
per of water is poked at the
bill.
The normal response is for
the baby to open its bill, and
this is your opportunity. Not
only does it need water as
moisture, but also to replace
the moisture in the dry foods
one must feed. That is, the
foods available do not have as
much water in them as in ma
lures foods, insects and worms.
II it we're possible to find
worms, these would be best,
but often it is not possible. and
If found, the worms are too
large in diameter. Even the
small ones must be torn apart
into segments not more than
one-quarter or hah an inch
long.
So other foods. more avail
able, are to be used.
