THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

human beings can, even chill
dren.
There was recounted in
The Star several years ago
a sad tale of a young English
girl living in Chevy Chase.
She was here with her par
ents, and developed a nom
eating streak.
She simply would not eat
anything.
Finally, she was put in a
hospital and force-fed by
tube, but of her own volition
she would eat nothing.
Before coming to the hos
pital, she had baked cookies
for others, but would not
even taste them herself.
After returning to England,
and being reunited with a
b eloved grandmother, we
heard, she started to eat.
1t had all been a matter
of mind, a sort of silent re-
bellion against conditions.
4 4 y
With an animal, we cannot
believe that the mentality
has much to do with it.
Dog or cat, neither has an
alphabet, nor words, and
therefore cannot think, as
people do.
Think they do, in a way, of
course. No one who admires
the creatures of the pure
animal kingdom can help but
realize that they do think,
after their fashion, but it is
not ours.
Therefore, if one Of them
refuses to eat, we do not
spend much time trying to
figure out what has happened
to him, though there are
many cases, of course, of dogs
grieving for lost masters and
refusing to eat, even unto
death.
Happily, most cases of re-
fusal to eat on the part of a
pet dog or cat will be due to
physical causes, and until a
diagnosis is made little can
be done, except to force
feed. Patience and UNDER
standing are parts of the pic
ture.

All Commercial Flying to Halt 6 Hours
 Saturday During Sky Shield Exercise

mand, the Defense Department insists.
 But it will be the biggest such training operation yet, designed to show the almost 100000 air and ground crews what to expect in an actual manned bomber at tack by the Soviet Union against the North American continent.
 Sky Shield also will give the citizen a little hint of conditions to be expected in case of war. For six hours all commercial avi- ation will be grounded. The at tacking bombers will jam naVi- gational aids, including radar and radio beams normally used by airlines.
 Details of precise plans have been kept secret-as will be any results. But it is to be presumed that at least part of the attack will come from the polar regions, one of the routes from the Soviet Union. USAF bombers probably will fly up beyond the rim of the continent, over the Arctic Ocean, then head back toward the first of the radar chains, the Distant Early Warning Line. Others may swoop in from the east and west in ocean approaches to train the crews of picket planes and ships which patrol the northern Allan tic and Pacific Oceans.

Kennedy Gets
 First Taste of Religious Hecklingg
By ART EDISON

LOS ANGELES, R-Sen. John Kennedy used a whistle stop to- day to list six ways to peace and ran into the first religious heckling of his Western tour.
 We want peace" Kennedy said in Fresno, "in which the world is not teetering constantly on the brink of war"
 Earlier as his train paused in Modesto, Kennedy made his cus- tomary little speech. When he fin ished, an unidentified man in the crowd asked if he could ask a question.
 Sure" said Kennedy.
 Do you believe all Protestants are heretics?" the man asked Kennedy, a Roman Catholic.
 "No," Kennedy said, 'and I hope you don't believe all Cath olics are"
 The trainside crowd of around 1,5OO applauded.
 May I say" Kennedy contin- ued, "that it seems to me that the great struggle today is be- tween those who believe in no God and those who believe in God. I really don't see why we should engage in close debate over what you may believe and what I may believe.
 "That is my privilege and your privilege"
 Again Kennedy was applauded
 In Oregon there was an ole lady passing out anti Catholic handbills She tried to get Ken nedy's attention, but failed.
 The religious issue - touchy one in may sections of the coun- try-has been brought up before on this trip, but only by report CTS at news conferences or in audiences where the questions were screened in advance.

Anchorage Demos Protest SeatOn
 Visit as Political

ANCHORAGE, R-A group of Democrats here have filed a pro- test over what they termed Sec retray of Interior Fred A. Sea tons political trip to the 18th state.
 More than 100 Democrats met yesterday to discuss criticism aimed at Sen. John F. Kennedy, Democratic presidential candi- date, by Seaton in a press con- ference.
 In telegram sent to President Eisenhower, it was called more than coincidence" that Seaton should time his Alaska visit to swear in new official of the Alaska Railroad, so that it fell hard on the heels of the formal opening of the Kennedy cam paign in Alaska on Sept. 3.
 The Democrats charged Seaton and his aide, Theodore Stevens, travelled to Alaska at taxpayers expense to campaign against Ken nedy.
 Seaton charged that neither Sen. Kennedy, nor members of the Alaska congressional delega- ton, had contributed to the bill to study hydro-electric power po- tential at the proposed Rampant Dam on the Yukon River.
 Seaton's charge was called "con- trary to fact" by Stanley Me Cutcheon, campaign manager here for Kennedy and Sen. Bart lett. He said it was through the efforts of the Alaska congression- al delegation, with the aid of Sen. Kennedy, that the appropriations bill to study the Rampant Dam project was passed in both the House and Senate.

Of this island nation who want

have to answer a lot of ques-

must answer eight long ques-

of their funds, and then pre-
sent documentary proof that
taxes have been paid on all
the money to be removed from
Cuba.
