Scaup Ducks Listed
AS Bonus Birds

duck in flight, thereby in
creasing their hunting oppor-
uunity.
To supplement educational
material published by Fish and
Game Departments, the De-
parment of the Interior has
published a field guide for hunt
ers, "Know your Ducks" which
is available at State Fish and
Game Department offices.
Ringneck ducks are quite
similar in appearance to scaup
ducks, but are not TO be in
cluded in the hunters bag as
bonus birds.
The female ringneck duck is
the most difficult to dis
tinguish from the scaup, es-
pecially when in flight. For
this reason, 1t is suggested
that hunters should determine
If rtngneck ducks are present
locally and if so, take special
care not to mistake them for
scaup.
1t is always the hunters re-
sponsibiliry to know what he is
shotting before he pulls the
trigger. Flight characteristics,
habitat, prominent head or body
shapes, significant color areas
on head, body or wing, will
help to identify the bird, which
should be allowed to come in
close before the shot is fired.
Allowance of the 2 bonus
scaup ducks in the bag pro-
vides increased hunting oppor-
tuniry and incentive to those
hunters willing to study and
learn duck species identifica-
tion.

Incentive for SIeuths

Amateur and professional sleuths.
not to mention the thieves involved.
should be interested in the latest news
about the smartly executed August IA
armed robbery Of Federal mail truck
near Plymouth, Mass. The news is SIM
ply this: Anybody who comes forward
with a solution of the crime will receive
a reward amounting to 10 per cent of
the missing currency recovered.
Thus, as explained by Postmaster
General ]. Edward Day, the reward could
exceed $150000. This is so because a
total of more than SIS million was taken
in the robbery. The reward money has
been offered by the Federal Reserve
Bank Of Boston, over and above that
offered by the Post Office Department
itself. These are quite reliable sources.
and so whoever solves the crime, If it
is ever solved, can be sure of getting
what has been promised.
1t is not often that rewards run as
breathtakingly high as this. A man can
become rich overnight If he hits upon
the solution. Walter NIFTY should love
the opportunity. Within a matter of
hours, in. fact, he might straighten out
the whole thing, collect his $15O,OOO, and
invite all Of his friends to quiet, lavish
dinner, which is as it should be.
Good luck. Walt.

MoFyIond's Plan

The decision Of the Montgomery
County Council to hold up several key
projects in the five-year sewer plan of
the Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission is clearly in the public
interest. Had these projects been per-
mitted to proceed-in particular the
controversial sewer line through the
Olney area-they could have played
havoc with plans now being evolved to
preserve open spaces and low-denSity
development in various parts of the
county. A large share of credit is due
also to Montgomery planners and cit
izen groups who, for once, presented a
united front on the necessity to delay
the sewer lines at least until firm de-
cisions can be reached on an effective
master plan for the county.
Fortunately, the initial draft Of this
master plan, the first of its kind to cover
all parts Of both Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, was completed In time
to serve as a valuable additional guide
to the council in its decision on the
sewer question.
The main job, however-the per-
fection Of the long-awaited bi-county
plan itSelf-still remains. In its present
form, the draft represents only the views
of the planning commission staff. AS
expected, its proposals suggest an entire
ly new approach to land-uSe control, in
which the most intensive growth Of the
future would be concentrated along
spoke-like corridors" with large wedges
Of lower-denSity development In be-
tween. These goals would be accom-
plished by variety Of controls, includ-
ing new category of rural" coming.
In addition, the planners recommend a
series Of challenging almost with
out exception, controversial Legislative
changes which are designed to strength
en- the hands Of both the planning COM
mission and the county council in con-
trolling new growth.
Before the commission acts to pro-
mulgate any aspects of the plan, it
intends to hold an intensive series of
public hearings, probably in late No
vember, in both counties. In the mean
time, the new report will be available
to citizen groups. 1t requires their full
est consideration.

yEK and Labor

President Kennedy feels
that paying q fee for the
right to vote is un-American
and should be abolished, but
in his support of compulsory
unionism he doesn't seem to
think there is anything
wrong or un-American in re-
quiring an individual to pay
a fee for the right to earn
his bread and butter.
Our higher courts seem to
be greatly concerned with
the rights Of an individual If
he should happen to be con-
victed rapist, murderer or
maybe an avowed Communist,
but they haven't shown a
great deal Of concern If an
individual feels that he would
like to hold his job without
being required to support an
organization whose views he
may not be in sympathy
with. Millions are not in
sympathy with compulsory
unioniSm and their rights
should be respected since at
times there is considerable
effort made to protect the
rights Of many that are less
deserving. E. p. Webb.

'Sectorion' Football

In recommending that the Board of
Education permit the Catholic high
schools Of Washington to play some of
their football games in District public
school stadiums, a special committee of
the board has scored a solid touchdown
for common sense.
1t is high time, moreover, that this
unnecessary controversy be laid to rest.
The simple request was made by officials
of the Catholic schools nearly a year ago.
For a few months 1t kicked around vari-
Gus city agencies. Finally, after nine
month delay, Corporation Counsel CheS-
ter Gray ruled that permitting these
teams to play on public-school fields
would be clear violation of Board of
Education rules against "sectarian" uses
Of the facilities.
Mr.. Gray, in his written opinion,
conceded that Football is not, as such,
a sectarian practice" But the pertinent
aspect in the mind of Mr.. Gray, is that
football games as played by the Catholic
League violate the rules because they
are part and parcel Of the total pro-
gram Of education in the Catholic
schools involved.
Surely this is the narroweSt possible
Interpretation Of the intent Of the
school board regulations, which pro-
vide, specifically, that public school
property may not be used "for sectarian
purposes, for acrimonious discussions,
for activities tending to create unrest
in the community, or for teachings con-
trary to the spirit of our American
institutions" Indeed, it might be said
that acrimonious discussions" also are
part Of football games. But parochial
schools hardly could be ruled out on this
basis without also disqualifying any
other team worth its salt.
AS for the legal point raised by Mr..
Gray, members of the Board Of Educa-
ton suggest that they either may change
the wording Of the rules or waive their
application to parochial football games.
They should do one or the other-and
quickly. The pigskin season already is
well under way.

The Menace in Cuba

The threat in Cuba grows apace.
Now we have been told by Fidel Castro
and his mentors in the Kremlin that a
special port is to be built down there to
service and supply Soviet Fishing"
fleet made up of as many as 130 trawl-
ers. Actually, of course, as the State
Department has indicated and as. Pen
tagon sources have warned, the devel-
opment certainly involves much more
than desire by the Russians to catch
seafood in waters they have never tried
before.
To begin with, the following facts,
among others, need to be kept in mind:
(D The normal Soviet fishing grounds
in this hemisphere have been limited up
to now to the North Atlantic. (2) Most
Russian trawlers are semi-military in
the sense that they are elaborately
equipped with radar and other devices
designed to spy upon such things as our
Polaris missile launchings. (3) A Cuban
port for these vessels could easily ac-
commodate Red submarines and Red
torpedo boats And az the ports thus
could serve the Kremlin as sort of
naval base that would be almost within
shouting distance of our shores and
capable of threatening the Panama Ca
nal, vital inter-American shipping lanes
and places like Cape Canaveral.
True, it may be argued that the
United States-with its base at Guam
tanamo, its aweSome arsenal Of nuclear
weapons, its wide variety of missiles, It's
great fleets Of bomberS, and its amphib-
ious forces-has little or no reason to
fear the building of such a port, which
could be wiped out as easily and as
swiftly as a fly can be swatted. But
that is not the real point of the matter.
The real point is that the Kremlin, with
studied arrogance, has chosen to be
deliberately provocative to an exception
ally intense and dangerous degree. It
has done so by oStentatiously ridiculing
the Monroe Doctrine, by using the insult
ferable Fidel Castro to make captives Of
the betrayed Cuban people, and by
planting itself, noisily and insolently, on
a foothold in the Western Hemisphere
a foothold from which it apparently
intends to launch war Of Subversion
and indirect aggression against the
Americas.
All this brings to mind these recent
words of President Kennedy: "If at any
time the Communist buildup in Cuba
were to endanger or interfere with our
security in any way 4. then this coun-
try will do whatever must be done" !"
Unhappily, that time seems to be rapidly
approaching, if it is not already here.
Our friends and allies should respond
accordingly. Some of them have sug-
gested that only the United States needs
to worry about the matter. They could
not be more wrong. The menace is
global, and it must be met head-on by
all men and nations who still cherish
freedom.

School Vandalism

In trying to figure out a
way to cut down vandalism
around the schools, and
especially the cost of replac-
ing window panes broken by
stone -throwers, I wonder why
they haven't thought of try
ing old-fashioned shutters,
screens, or wire mesh to cover
the glass. They have pro-
posed more policemen, better
boys clubs, appealing to civic
pride. etc. Still the panes are
broken.
I should think that such
protection to the windows
would pay for itself in a year
or two. It would remove the
temptation to throw stones.
Children with nothing else to
do find such mischief a lot
of fun. Let them find some
thing better to do.

Cuba Now and Then

Wh1le the pubic demand
for stronger economic and
military action against the
Communist puppets in Cuba
grows louder each day, lib
erals continue to advocate
what amounts to a hands
off" policy in that critical
area. They tell US that we
have no right to. hberate this
island. They tell us that the
Monroe Doctrine is now dead.
They tell us that Castro pre-
sents only a minute threat
to our security. They tell us
that, If we just let Cuba
alone, the Communists will
eventually fall. They tell us
theirs is the voice Of mod
Grafton and reason. .
Let US now go back q few
years and see what these
same people were saying g
about Castro and his new
government. We discover that
almost all Of them were fan
tastically enthusiastic about
the revolution. They were
telling us how good and great
Castro was. They were tell
ing us how democratic his
regime would be. They were
telling us how wonderful it
was for the American State
Department to enable him to
come to power. They were
telling us that Castro would
be a bona fide agrarian re-
former. They were telling US
that anyone who thought he
might be q Communist was
clearly out Of his mind. The
mere mention Of the name
Castro" was enough to send
any liberal into ecstasies.
Why do we now bother to
listen to these people who
were so completely wrong in
their estimates Of the Cuban
revolution2 Why do we al
low them to determine our
policy towards their hero Of
such recent days? Our coun-
try would be much better off
If we tossed such men into
the ashcan and proceeded
without their Assistance"

Defeat in Georgia

Georgia'S Fifth District has pro-
duced the first major political casualty
of the fall elections by refusing to send
Representative James G. Davis back
for ninth term in Congress- Though
not unexpected for number of reasons,
the overthrow of the 67-year- r-old vet
eran legislator and determined Segre-
gationiSt will be widely discussed item
on Capitol Hill.
Whether it is indicative of any
developing trend in Georgia or the
South is something only time and diff
ferent circumstances can answer. Mr..
Davis unrelenting racial views, how
ever, were factor His victorious
Democratic runoff opponent, 34-year-
old Charles c. Weltner, in his first dip
into politics, took moderate stand on
the racial issue that made him look
positively liberal in contrast to Mr..
Davis record. He attracted Atlanta
Negro voters in unprecedented numbers.
Twelve Negro precincts in Fulton County
(Atlanta) gave the victor 1908 votes
to mere 535 for Mr.. Davis. And that
was just about the margin by which
the issue was decided
But even that plurality would have
meant nothing except for the most i'm
portant factor of all. This was the
Federal Courts abolition of Georgia's
unit system earlier in the year. Mr..
Davis still would be returning to Wash
ington next year under the unit system,
because he won the two other counties
by narrow margins.
A fortnight man of unshakeable
convictions, Mr.. Davis has voted for 16
years for what he thought were "the

Inside South Africa

Prof. TroWbrldge'S COM
ments on the United Nations
role in Africa (Star. Septem-
ber 2D form a deliberate at
tack on the Republic of
South Africa, a country
which should be Of no con-
Germ to an international body
set up basically to prevent
war.
Prof. Trowbridge referred
to the stiff-necked Dutch de-
scendants who hate the
blacks. and don't like the
English, the Indians, etc.
Permit me, an English-speak-
ing South African, to correct
these accusations.
South Africans do not hate
black people. Why should we?
Never in South Africa have
white people stoned and
lynched black folk. Neither
have we burned their
churches to the ground. Oc-
currences Of this nature hap
pen in the United States, in
which all men are born equal.
We South Africans have
no intention of running Brit
ish immigrants out Of the
country. Why should we?
Much the same as in the
United States, our white pop
ulation is comprised baSical-
ly of people from Europe in
cluding the British Isles and
the Irish Republic, and we
are all South Africans in the
same way as you are Amer
leans. Actually, at this very
time, immigrants from the
British Isles are being en-
couraged to come to South
Africa. To run some out, and
encourage others in simply
does not make sense.
With regards to our atti-
tude towards our small In
dian community, it would be
partly true to state that In
dians are not over-popular in
South Africa, not even with
the Bantu. Our Indians have
never owed allegiance to the
State, they have always re-
mained Indians, and, until
stopped by the government
prior to World War II, ha-
bitually transferred their sur
plus funds to banks back
home in India.
The wealth Of South Africa
lies largely in the hands Of
English-speaking city busi-
ness men and induStrialists,
and not with the Afrikaans-
speaking citizens.
The professors claim that
South Africans are furious
with Americans is nonsense,
and I can only assume that

our country. South Africans

Transportation 'Czor'

CaCegorlcally - as soon
shall be generally realized -
our national. paramount i'm
perative need of the past de-
cade has been a Presidential
cabinet entity: 1.-THE Depart
ment Of transportation"
Such might have been duly
accomplished through au-
thoritative, persistent appeals
to Congress. That, however,
would have been too prac-
tical; so it didn't happen.
And this is a reason why the
September IL, 1861, appear
ance Of New York Gov. Mel
son A. Rockefeller before the
Interstate Commerce Com
mission, In Washington, to
formally urge, and insist, on
Congressional establishing of
"The Department of Trans
portation," was far-fetched.
The ICC is not a law-mak-
ing body. Its statutory func-
tion is the regulating of inter-
state commerce, and its rul-
ings may only be avoided by
successful Federal Court chal-
lenges. Altogether contented
with its status, its Democra-
tic members can only have
laughed at the Governors call
that ICC recommend to the
Congress its elimination from
the Federal scene.
It's now too late to add a
Secretary Of Transportation
to the Presidents cabinet.
Congress must soon enact a
law to place all transporta-
ton, subject to Federal regu-
lation, within the "czar- like"
control Of the Secretary of
National Defense. The de-
moralizing state Of transpor-
tation leaves no alternative.
There can be no organized
labor persons Gas such) in
our armed services. Hence,
neither part nor place for
the Department of Labor in
this proximate war scene, and
its confrontations.

Massachusetts Vote

Thank you for the extens-
i've coverage you gave the
recent Massachusetts, primary
elections. Your editorial
Starting at the Top" was an
excellent summary.
The Kennedy Met Cormack
contest showed the frighten-
ing fervor Of the Kennedy
cult in action. It displayed
the emotionalism and imma-
turity you might expect Of a
Hollywood fan club. Possibly
they are now considering
little John for Governor with
Caroline as regent. And why
not even Brumus and Mac
aroni for other elective Of
fices? After all they too are
closely connected with the
