THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

of bread together as an ex.
hibition of affection.
If we put out food for birds,
we do so with a full realiza-
tion that, in our way, we
love them.
Just how much of this the
birds, themselves, may under
stand. is not known; the birds
are very old, and very wise,
in their ways, so 1t would not
surprise us If they may let on.
We need not look, how
ever, for any expressions OF
gratitude.
The birds will draw up no
resolutions, you know the
silly sort so often heard
at meetings of all kinds,
whereas, Mr.. and Mrs.
E A. c. have fed us for
weeks; and whereas, the
weather was extremely bad:
and whereas, they had to
walk through eighteen-inch
SHOWS to put out those delect-
able raisins; and whereas,
we think they are pretty nice
people - THEREFORE, we
thank them from the bottom
of our bills for all this chow,
and hope they will be
around next winter. Thanks
a million"
No, the birds have more
sense, but they show their
gratitude, we believe, in a
hundred pretty ways, much
better than engrossing them
In words on a scroll to get
mislaid and all bent.

This correspondent also
wants to know II a window
feeding station is good.
Yes, 1t is very nice, perhaps
the best of all, If you are
willing to clean up the mess
the birds make. all those
shelled seeds, husks, etc. They
pile up, and often smell, you
know.
The correspondent wants to
know II the red-headed wood
pecker ever kills trees? One
tree is almost girdled by
one OF these birds, the letter
says.
The smaller the tree, the
less 1t can stand such an
experience, so the wood
pecker should be driven away
until 1t gets the idea Of leav-
ing the tree alone.
Usually these birds do not
girdle a tree, but the yellow
bellied sapsucker often does
IL, and is a real enemy Of tree
life.
In most suburban COM
munities. the various wood
peckers. including the downy,
the red bellied and hairy
woodpeckers, seldom really
harm trees.

Law Clerks Defended

David Lawrence's May 5
article on Supreme Court law
clerks deserves an answer.
Mr.. Lawrence quotes from a
recent New York Times Mag
azine article which, he claims,
reveals the profound radical
influence exercised by these
young clerks upon the JUS
tices Of the court.
Gaily picking passages out
Of context, in his usual nim-
ble-minded fashion, he has
entirely distorted the message
Of the Times article, which
was that ID the influence
of the law clerks is not so
far-reaching as has recently
been asserted, and ca what
ever influence they do exert
is Of q legal, not a political,
nature Mr.. Lawrence might
just as well have chosen the
following quotes from the
same article:
80. =. as a group the law
clerks will no more flt any
single political label than
will any other eighteen young
Americans who are not picked
on a political basis"
IS. it is likely to be be-
yond the power Of these in
experienced young men, as
it would be beyond the power
of wiser and older heads, to
turn the minds Of the gen.
orally strong, experienced and
able lawyers and statesmen
who sit on the Supreme
Court"
In addition to the blatant
dishonesty of Mr.. Lawrence's
article, he bears an extra
onus for being wrong. I have
had the pleasure of knowing
personally a number Of Mr..
Lawrence's bogeymen. One
would be hard put to find a
more sober. legalistic group
of young attorneys this side
Of Wall Street-and, Incl
dentally. that great symbol
of the American way of life
is by no means unrepresent-
ed among the present Su-
preme Court clerks.

Against Summit

On the front page Of The
Star of May 5, I noted that
''hopes" for a summit meet
ing are fading. I wonder
whose "hopes" you are talk
ing about. Russia's hopes
presumably, for Russia
months ago initiated steps for
such a meeting. Secretary
Dulles has been arguing
against a meeting ever since
it was first proposed by the
Russians, and very recently
Dean Acheson came out
against a meeting.
My hopes and the hopes Of
all my friends are that a
summit meeting can be
avoided. I nursed the same
vain hopes before the Geneva
meeting in 1855.

Three things emerge from
Tuesdays primaries In three
States. In Ohio. Mike d.
Sales substantial victory In
the Democratic gubernatorial
primary, plus the fact that
for the first time In some
years the Democrats rolled
up q bigger vote In that pri-
mary than did the Ropubll-
cans, seems TO indicate that
Republican Governor G. VIII
liam ONeiil Is In for q tough
fight to win reelection In
the November general elec-
tion. In addition, the sur
prisingly large vote cast In
the Republican side Of the
primary for Charles Taft,
brother Of the late Senator
Bob Taft. suggests a break
In Republican support for
the Governor OF considerable
proportions. Mr.. Taft made
no campaign TO speak Of. and
filed for the nomination. he
said, as O stand-in candidate
In case Gov. O'Neill should
be physically incapacitated
before the election.
The Governor had suffered
a mild heart attack sometime
ago, but has made a good re-
covery. Two years ago Mr..
Disable was defeated by
Gov. O'Neill in the Eisen-
hover Ian dslide by more
than 100000 votes. The Gov
ernor's administration has
been harshly criticized. and
by some Republicans. This,
1t is said, is reflected in the
vote last Tuesday, when
Gov. ONeill ret eived 346,-
7l8 votes TO l98.445 for
Mr.. Taft in complete returns.
Prior to the Governors elec-
ton in 1856, the Democrats
had won five out Of six
gubernatorial elections, with
Frank ]. Lausche, now Sena-
tor, as their candidate. The
latter. strongly independent
of both Democratic organi-
zation and labor union lead
ers, swept the State largely
with the aid Of Republican
voters.
DiSalIe Widely Known
Mike Disable, widely known
in Washington and popular
for his genial vet shrewd
personality, was at one time
in the Truman administra-
ton as national price admin
istrator. Senator Lausche
took no part in the primary,
and if he follows precedent
he will watch the election
next November. He again
demonstrated his independ-
ence when he voted recently
with Senator Knowland, Re-
publican leader Of the Sen
ate, in support Of remedial
amendments to the labor
laws.
The total vote cast in the
Democratic primary in Ohio
was 643,245, and in the Re-
publican primary, 1888,
the Democrats leading by al
most 100000. The Republic
cans point to the fact that the
Democrats had severe con-
tests for important places on
their State ballot, while the
Republicans had compare
lively few contests. Seven
candidates fought~it out for
the Democratic nomination
for Governor. and two Of
them were residents of popu-
lous Cuyahoga County (Cleve-
land-the Mayor of that
city and the county engi-
neer. Senator Bricker had no

show that Senator Bricker
received 4o0.74s votes on the

however, that the Democrats
have been decidedly popped
UP by the primary result.
Friction In Indiana
In the second State-Indi-
ana--there are indications
not all is harmonious In either
Democratic or Republican
circles. AS far as the Demo-
Gratis are concerned. the sig
nificant happening was in
Indianapolis where Mayor

ative wing. Frank McKin-
ney, former Democratic Ma

On the Republican side OF
the political picture, the re-
nomination Of Mrs. Cecil M.
Harden in the 9th congress
sional district the only
woman in the Indiana con-
gressional delegation-was in
a measure a blow to the
Jenner-Handley faction of
the party. Mrs. Harden has

President Eisenhower's pro-

Rights Issue in Alabama
In the third State-Ala-
bama-the primary results
showed that the racial is
sue-civil rights-has raised
its head again to embarrass
the Democratic Party. The
White Supremacy Democrats
may have turned the tables
on the regulars, who have
gone along with the National
Democratic Party in the last
two presidential campaigns.
The figures are not all in.
and there may be some run
offs necessary, but the pro-
segregation faction seems to
have the lead for control of
the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee. This faction
is violently opposed to the
so-called loyalty oath which
the regulars, through the
committee, have imposed on
all candidates in the Demo-
cratic primaries in Alabama.

nees of the national party.

Can bird seed be purchased
that most birds will eat, or
what is the best fare for
them?" writes E.C.D. Of 9Th
street. "You didn't specify
in your article"
Specifications have been
given here thousands of times
over the past 80 years. You
can't include everything in
every article.
Most grocers, some drug
stores and practically all
hardware stores now carry
big bags of "bird feed" that
will be consumed by all seed
eating birds.
other types. such as the
soft-billed birds, prefer seed
less raisins.
The woodpeckers like suet.
And so 1t goes. AS for
home made mixtures Of seeds,
these are difilcult to assem-
BILE; formulas have been
printed hundreds Of times.
BY the time one has run
around and got the various
seeds, and thoroughly mixed
them, he begins to wonder If
it is all worth while, when he
may purchase mixtures made
over exactly the same pat
tern.
Washington has always
been a fine place for watch
ing and feeding the birds,
since 1t contains so many
trees, friends Of all birdlife.
A question that bothers
our Sixth street correspond
ent follows:
"Do local bird lovers have
any luck with bird feeders, or
do the birds here find sum-
cient food because Of the
open weather we have most
OF the time, Of course, the
snowy week was an excep-
tion?"
Birds always seem to find
food, except in sleet storms,
so putting out food for them
is not absolutely necessary.
But it Is q lot Of funl
Some people. especially.
seem to love to feed things.
Birds usually find food,
they are resourceful, and
have millions Of years OF
experience behind them. But
it is nice to give them a

Mountain Girl,

SEVIERVILLE, Tenn, R = Frieda Ogle celebrated her 18th birthday yesterday still single and vowing she doesn't want to marry just now, after all.
 However, the Rev. George Washington Rollins, 33, still faced preliminary hearing on a charge of Kidnapping the mountain girl. It was filed by her father Earl Ogle Jr., after the missionary Baptist preacher took her to Georgia in a vain attempt to get married.
 T thought I was in love with him but I definitely wouldn't do it again." the girl told her par ents after her father brought her home from Atlanta. q realize now I'm too young, and he is not the right man for me"
 Frieda said neither she nor the preacher thought she was too young when they went away to- gether.
 T thought I could make him a good wife," she said.
