PENTHOUSE FOR BIRDS

SPRINGFIELD. Ohio (AP)4
There's a pigeon penthouse atop
the modern Boston Store in down.
town Springfield.
Louis B. Margolis, executive
manager of the store, says he un-
derstands the birdhouse was spec
flied in the sales agreement be-
tween the store and Second Pres
byterian Church when the church
sold the lot 40 years ago.
But Henry P. Quentin, assistant
manager in 1921. says it was a
matter of sympathy; the pgeions
lived in the church belfry.
However. while the birdhouse
remains. 1t has been vacant for
many years. Apparently the ele-
vator in shaft just below it
makes too much noise.

Capable young Deiawareans have

THE TORCH is PASSED

"The torch has been passed." said Presi-
dent John F. Kennedy in his inaugural ad-
dress, "to new generation of Americans"
In those words the new chief executive sum-
med up the paramount aspect of this change
of administrations.
For this was no ordinary transfer of
the reins of government. This was an oc-
casion on which, both actually and symbol
ically, power and responsibility were hand
ed from age to youth. 1t is youth, and the
energy and zest for governing which are the
natural concomitants of youth, that the
President most notably shares with those he
has chosen to help him govern.
Yet there was no vainglory in the words
MIR. Kennedy uttered as he accepted the of
flee which during the past eight years has
been occupied by man old enough to be his
father. This was statement of high pur-
pose and challenge, but leavened with the
grace of humility. We cannot hope, he said,
to establish peace and conquer hunger and
assure full rights and dignity to all men in
a few years or perhaps even in our lifetime,
"but let us begin"

RED CROSS MONTH

One of the attributes that sets us humans
apart from most of our fellow inhabitants
of this crowded planet is the desire to help
someone in need or in trouble.
Ever in the best of us, this impulse of
mercy may seem to weaken under the pres
sures of daily living in this highly organic
ed and impersonal society of ours.
But, through our voluntary contributions
of time and money to such welfare agencies
as the American Red Cross, we are helping
people in need as truly as if our hands were
touching theirs.
March, designated as Red Cross Month
by the President of the United States, again
gives lis opportunity to extend a helping
hand to others.
More than million Americans will be
conducting month-long, nationwide drive
to enroll their neighbors as Red Cross menu
bers with "Good Things Happen When
You Help" appeal.
When you become Red Cross member,
your helping hand reaches:
Next door, where the mother, trained in
Red Cross home nursing, takes care of
sick child:
Down the block, where a man trained in
Red Cross first aid, saves the life of traffic
victim;
Across town, where Red Cross-collected
blood keeps hospital patient alive;
Across the nation where Red Cross dis
aster workers are helping a tornado-Strick-
Ell family rebuild its home;
To Saudi, Arabia, where Red Gross
field director is helping u. S. serviceman
make ali emergency trip home, and
To Chile and Morocco, where the Amer
lean Red Cross and other members of the
worldwide League of Red Cross Societies
help earthquake victims.
Truly. through your Red Cross you help
make good things happen wherever people
are in need or in trouble.

INSIDE THE DRIVER

Two basic sets of factors, the personal
and the external, are involved when driver
has an auto accident The main personal
factors which have a bearing on the matter
arc the individuals manual driving skill,
his knowledge of traffic laws, and hfs men,
tai and emotional makeup.
There has been much emphasis on the
first two, but comparatively little on the
third. BY this neglect, society is missing
one of its best opportunities to reduce the
accident toll.
Tests of driving skill and knowledge,
both through written examination and at
the wheel, are now standard practice. A
certain level of achievement is required
before driving license will be issued. But
rarely is any attempt made to analyze men,
tai and emotional factors which might in
fluence drivers performance.
One reason is that tests are not good
enough; it is not yet possible to predict ac-
curately how man will behave at the wheel
But testing methods are being improved
Society may soon be able to identify those
who are pSychologically unfit for driving -
and then to inculcate good driving through
special training, or bar these people from
the road if the training does not take"
State authorities should be thinking about
the feasibility of such a program, and call
ing upon psychiatrists and other experts for
their views. Properly safeguarded against
abuse, tests of the kind outlined above might
deal effectively with the problem of the driv-
er who is skilled and knows the law, but is
a potential threat because of some insta-
bility.

TWO KINDS OF MONOPOLY

At about the same time federal court
was sentencing major electrical firms and
some of their executives in the price-fixing
cases, Teamster Boss James r. Hoffa an
nounced that his goal of master union of
transport workers was in sight. Thus was
brought into focus the great dual challenge
to that bulwark of our system, free enter
prise. An approach to management mono
poly is seen juxtaposed against an approach
to labor monopoly.
This one would be as bad as the other.
Power is the reason for creation of mono
poles, whether of big business or big labor.
And when monopolies begin to match their
power against that of the government, there
is defiance that government cannot ignore.
Surely both labor and business must be
aware that their best hope of survival as
economic entities is under democracy. Sure
ly they must understand that when they seek
to grab more power than they are entitled
to they are threatening democracy. Surely
they must know that only disciplined free
enterprise can long be tolerated by any gov
ernment which is to endure.
And, finally, they must realize that dis
ciplined free enterprise ideally involves self
discipline. The alternative, one that would
be bad not only for labor and business but
also for the general public, is government
control.

TIGHTENING UP ON GOLD

In one of his last acts as president, Mr..
Eisenhower turned again to the problem of
gold outflow and thus highlighted its urg-
ency. By presidential proclamation, it will
be illegal after June for American citizens
to hold foreign gold. This will mean little
tc most of us, but it will mean great deal
to spectators who have used purchases of
gold as a hedge against devaluation of the
dollar
While it has been unlawful since 1888 for
citizens to possess domestic gold, they have
been permitted to own gold bars in the vaults
of foreign repositories. This practice,
though regarded by some economists as a
violation of the spirit of the 1888 act, has
not been of great Importance until recently.
Now, as President Eisenhower pointed
out, individuals trading in foreign gold tend
to increase the export of dollars-the tide
the Treasury Department is trying to stem.
And while the quantity of these transactions
is not known exactly, at this critical period
each of them tends to put pressure on the
price of gold. which the Treasury Depart
ment wants to keep at $35 an ounce.
To the purist and the financial conser-
vative it may come as shock to realize that
Individual dealings in the precious metal
will soon be legally impossible for Ameri-
cans, even in international markets. 1t is
further evidence of the downgrading of gold

PEOPLE MUST DEMAND ECONOl

Ihe Wr1StOn Report on national goals,
and similar studies of what the future may
bring, make SOLDERING reading. If they are
correct, the most strenuous kind of national
effort and sacrifice will be needed to deal
with them.
For cne thing, it is forecast that massive
increases in federal spending will become
inevitable, primarily because of the omni-
vorous demands of national defense and re-
lated activities. These can be paid for in
several ways. There could be a further in
crease in taxes which is certainly the last
alternative anyone could wish. There should
be increased government tax revenue from
an expanding economy. And avoidable ex-
penses of government can be reduced or
eliminated.
This is the time to make determined
start in the last direction.
What we must do is to decide, coldly
and analyticaly, what is necessary and un-
avoidable for government to do-as against
what may be merely desirable. We no long
er can afford the billions upon billions that

DON'T BLAME THE RETAILER

lHHdLlOn!! DON'T Cnlnk you can escape
ii as federal taxes, debt and wages keep ris-
ing. Commenting on this the Bradenton.
Florida, Herald says: Every month we read
the cost of living index has risen one or two
tenths of per cent-but long ago we stop
ped paying any attention.
The retailer is the buffer from which ris-
ing costs must bounce off to the consumer
he has long absorbed percentage of cost
increases. He is the first one blamed for
high prices condition over which he has
no control. For this reason he has to be
alert to price-raising practices such as the
25-cent an hour increase proposed under the
Federal Wage-Hour Act. He knows that
would force costs up another notch, and that
he would stand the brunt of complaints
about increases for which he was not re-
Sponsible
To bring initiation into perspective the
Herald editors went to the papers files of
25 years ago and checked advertised prices
with those of today. If initiation continues
at the present rate, here is what they would
be in 1885: Round steak, $6.25 a pound
pork chops, $3.50 pound; can of corned
beef, $2.95; tooth brush, 1925; 1885 Ford
two door, $4,000 hamburger, $2.15.

TTWAs no i'll wind that blew this pelican
= off course six years ago and landed
him, storm-shaken but unhurt, on the
Greek island of Mykonos. Befriended by
Theodoris, a local fisherman (above), and
nicknamed Pedro, the bird has become
the islands star character, principal tour
ist attraction, chief goodluck charm, and

MykOnos is his oyster, and everybody
is Pedro's pal as he waddles across the

shop doors, ogles the bikinis at the beach,
or cadges free meal from fishermen.
Once, so the story goes, jealous villag-
ers from the neighboring island of limos
kidnapped Pedro. The wine turned sour,
the tourist trade fell off, and the fishermen
had rotten luck until the bird was rescued
by irate Mykonites. At any rate, he's back

big new musical comedy, ''Donnybrook!"
We met her at little grill near the Shubert
Theater where ''Donnybrook!' was trying

cocktails. we propped the encyclopedia on
the table and asked:
what is the capital of AserbGJGn?"
'What's an AserbGijGn?" she asked.
''Sorry, we'll have to funk you on that

Baku is the capital. Now, perhaps you know

We were convinced. The press agent for
