shington-WAKING UP THE NATION.-The Republic
leader of the House of Representatives, the Hon. Charles
Haeck of Jasper County Indiana has assured the nation thai
there for alarm.
Contrary what President Kennedy had say his State
of the Union message Haeck tells things better
until the Democrats took Kennedy

Halleck, is oVerdrawtng the pic
ture, The word "exaggeration"
creeps more aid more into the
propaganda put out by Republican
national headquarters.
In his talk Kennedy said we
are In a bad situation, militarily
and economically.
Certainly none Of US, not even
the President, can be sure Of what
our military position is in the
world. He must depend on intelhg-
ence work, which is haphazard at
best. He also must rely on men in
the Pentagon who have a vested
interest in over-stating our plight.
He also depends on others who
have an equally vested interest in
telling him that our position is
strong; If it were not they would
be guilty of negligence.
But in the area Of domestic af-
fairs the facts are easily ascertain
able and subject to immediate YER
ification.
What are the basic facts which
led Mr.. Kennedy to say, The
American economy Is in trouble" :?
Basically this Is what he referred
to:
There are now $500, 900 people
out Of work-or seven per cent Of
all those willing aid able to work.
In December, 1860 unemploy-
ment reached its highest point in
20 years.
There have been four postwar re-
cesSions, after which the level of
joblessness has each time stabil-
lied at a higher point.
There are 100 communities now
regarded as "chronically" dis
tressed.
HEAD IN THE SAND? 1t is no
answer to tell the unemployed, or
the small businessman who is
threatened by bankruptcy, that the
great majority Of Americans are
well off. To him the immediate
problem is survival, not a Stats
teal examination of how someone
else Is doing.
Nor can we rely on that old
Eisenhower formula that the situa-
ton will take care of itself, and
our only danger is that we talk"
ourselves into a depression.
The problems are real, not myth

advancing at the slowest rate of
growth Of any Of the important
western powers. Many workers are
jobless because it now takes fewer
people to produce the same amount
of goods than it did three years
ago. In fact we can turn out near
ly as much with 1/5 fewer en-
ployees.
What Messrs. Halleck and his
fellow Republicans suggest, is
either that we delude ourselves, or
quit talking about such upleas-
antries.
Within a few days the new Presi-
dent will send to Congress a vari-
ETY. Of messages on special prob
lens, ranging from unemployment
to medical care for the aged. It
seems safe to assume despite his
dire warnings that he will not
come up with extreme" remedies
for our problems. The situation Is
not yet that acute. What he prop
oses is likely to be moderate" and
balanced.
The point that Messrs. Halleck
and company seem to miss b
that there Is q certain order Of
priOrities that should be followed
II we are to avoid the sort Of
domestic cataclysm that hit US
In the sos.
First 1t Is important to recog-
nize the nature Of the malady, and
its degree. Second, 1t Is vital that
we begin taking shorffange steps
to prevent conditions from grow
Ing worse. Finally, it Ii necessary
that we take long-range steps to
allow the economy to begin grow
ing aid thriving again, to regain
that vitality that has been tradi-
tional in this country.
Perhaps there were ways to
arouse the country, other than hav-
ing the President Of the United
States personally sound the alarm.
That point Is arguable. Yet several
skeptical Congressman said: Lis
tening to his speech was as bracing
as going into a cold shower after
tepid bath"
Whatever else may be said about
the new President, no one will &C
cuse him Of lulling the nation to
sleep.

The mOcker is an expert mimic and in
cludes among his melodies the songs or call
notes of just about every other species of
bird which sings in the general area. He
seems to like the sound of each phrase he
sings, because he generally repeats it at least
once and often as many as five or six times
before uttering another phrase or note. Dur
ing the day he frequently launches himself
into the air and flutters butterf1y-like back to
his perch, singing all the while.
Apparently there is not enough time dur
ing the day to do all the singing he feels urged
to do. The mocker frequently sings at inter-
walls throughout Spring and Summer nights,
particularly on calm, warm or mOonlit ones
Up to Is years ago the mocker was rare
bird north of Delaware. Now it is relatively
common in New England.

Strictly for the Watchers
This Weeks Migrant
ByJACKSON MILES ABBOTT
Audubon Naturalist

0NE of the most common and best-known
" birds inhabiting the District region is
the mockingbird 1t is a rObin-size, gray and
white bird with long tail, a large white patch
in each wing (which shows best when the bird
flies) and white outer tail feathers
The mOcker is a conspicuous bird, pre-
ferring open, exposed percheS such as wires,
fence rails, roof tops chimneys and the top
most branches of bushes and trees, from
whence he can survey his domain, protect his
favorite larder from other feathered in
truders, and render his repertoire of melo-
dies. He also is bold and often pugnaciouS
bird and will dive bomb cat or dog which
may venture too close to his nesting site.
At feeding stations particularly where
people habitually put out raiSinS, peanuts,
peanut butter and bread crumbs, the
"mocker" often will take over" the station
as his own and tirelessly chase away any
other bird attempting to feed there He will
do the same from any holly, pyracantha or
other berryladen bush or tree which he
favors.
There are several solutions to such intol-
Grant mOckers One obvious solution lie,
shooting the birdD must be Immediately dis
carded as unlawful, if not impractical A
second solution is to trap the bird and re-
lease it a few miles away. This probably will
be only temporary cure as another or the
same mocker will surely appear. A system
l use successfully is to put food in two diff
ferent places (On opposite sides of the yard
or house. preferably) one in the open away
from the house for the mocker and the other
on window sill or by window for the other
birds

man Catholics abstain from
eating meat on Friday? I have
heard that it was because at
one time there was a great
depression in Italy and a pope
declared a day a week for
everyone to buy and eat fish
in order to help the economy
Of the fishing industry. Is
there any truth to this?"
Answer-There is absolutely
no truth to this story. The Law
Of abstaining from meat on
Fridays reaches back to the
time Of Tertullian who died
early in the Sd Century.
From the beginning, the
practice Of abstaining from
meat on Friday was an act of
elf-discipline and sacrifice in
view Of the Crucifixion of Jesus
Christ. 1t is a law of the church
and therefore required of
Catholics.
