assured of a good season. This year, according
to the whistles, quail will be plentiful. A man has to get up early in the a. m. to count Mr. Bobwhite’s efforts. He's the talented one of the species. Mrs. Bobwhite tly isn't in any mood to give out her feeble effort at dawn. Probably taking the curling pins out of her hair.
Female Quail More Timid
CONSERVATION Officer Ernest Fishel of
Johnson County knocked my theory for a loop. He's more practical. The female bobwhite doesn't have as pretty a whistle as the male, Officer Fishel explained, and is more timid. I went along with
: the first part but not with the second.
“The quail count is quite an exténsive project throughout the state. Definite time limits are set. Instruction sheets to the officers outline exactly how the count should be taken. Routes are outlined and I saw on the sheet Officer Fishel had underlined: “This route must be followed exactly, unless it is impossible because of closed roads.” Another part of the instructions that was scored was about taking the count ALONE, “unless you are hard-of-hearing and need someone to help you.” : : 54 My press pass allowed me to accompany Offi cer Fishel. He is not hard of hearing and needed no help in counting. The map showed that we were to start the count just northeast of Trafalgar. On his sheet he marked that the weather was cloudy, the wind was blowing three miles per hour and the tem-
perature was 70 degrees.
Our first stop turned out to be a blank. If there were any quail around, they were still sleeping and I hinted to my friend that we should be doing the same. “Why don't you go to bed earlier,” was his reply. That's easier said than done. A bachelor has all sorts of responsibilities. By the speedometer we moved exactly one mile down the gravel road. Again he whipped out his large gold pocketwatch and got out of the car. A few barnyard roosters were crowing in the distance. They don’t count. Just as I was about to remark that it was rather pleasant being out so early in the morning, Officer Fishel waved my mouth shut. I heard the familiar bobwhite whistle. He wasn't far away. A rock could have flushed him into the air. No rocks. Another sport whistled, Officer Fishel began to turn as specified in the book. A man is supposed to take five steps in front of the car, and within two or three minutes make a complete circle. A third bird. far off in the brush, came through for Pitman-Robertson, A buddy answered. Four? The officer shook his head. He said birds will whistle on the average of every 15 seconds when they feel like whistling.

NEW YORK, July 24—Miss Marguerite Higgins, a she-reporter of impressive foreign experience, despite her fragile beauty and her tender years, seems to have spearheaded an action which is apt to preoccupy the press for some time to come, as the war goes on and gets bigger. Miss Higgins, a veteran writer for the New
York Herald Tribune, was summarily scourged .
from the fighting front in Korea by the new commanding general, Walton Walker, for the offense of being female. Lt. Gen. Walker already has distinguished himself by the remark that “This is not the kind of war where women ought to be running around the front lines” giving rise to a mild wonderment as to just what kind of war is suitable for women to gallivant in.
Right to Wear Pants Restored
HIGGINS HOLLERED over Walker's head to Gen. MacArthur, who restored her right to wear pants among male correspondents at the front. MacArthur also allowed newsmen Peter Kalischer of the Unitéd Press and Tom Eambert of the AP to return to work, after they had been banished for filing stories which “gave aid and comfort” to the enemy. This means that the men told the truth about the foul-up in Korea. La Belle Higgins had touched off another incident with a news beat which had been held up by other reporters with an eye on security, so they said. As a result of their banishments and restorations, Gen. MacArthur has had some proud words to say about censorship at the front—to the effect that the Army was busy with a war and would leave all matters of censorship in the ha nds of reporters and editors. This sounds beautiful put rarely works, for several reasons. The first is that a more severe type of censorship may be invoked as punishment for a man who wittingly or unwittingly rouses the wrath of a military commander. They yank the offender's credentials and chase him away from his assignment. His real or fancied offense is therefore not measurable—but the penalty is. In a situation where news copy mandatorily is subject to censorship for military security, the
reporter at least has a good argument against at Sumter, S.C. banishment. He turned over his stuff for cen-| sorship—if the censors let him. get by with a sent overseas. A graduate of Tip-|

War Was Their Business
THE LIKES of pretty Miss Higgins, who was | ducking bombs when barely out of her teens, and of hen-reporters like Lee Carson, Rita Hume and some of the other lassies who worked on the last war, were remarkably unconcerned by the ahsence| of powder salons. War was their business, and they asked very little in deference to their gentler sex.

WASHINGTON, July 24—In the U. 8. Senate at the moment Korea looks almost as far away as the Land of Oz. The gentlemen have a war of their own in progress, fought mostly with su-per-heated air. For two solid days now they've been snarling about Sen. Joe McCarthy (R. Wis.) and his charges that a platoon of Communists do business as officials at the State Department. I never before heard Senators call each other such horrid names. I've never seen 'em get so red in face, nor shout so loud. What this private little war of the statesmen is eosting us taxpayers in wages for work that won’t get done until later I hate to estimate. And when the gentlemen will get back to the appropriations bill, which theoretically is the business before them, I have no idea.
Bum Is the Call
THE REASON for the fight is easy and simple to understand: The Foreign Relations Subcommittee called Sen. Joe a bum for making his charges against pinkos in high places. Now his defenders are calling the committeemen bigger bums for saying such things about a member of their club. Other fights are brewing as offshoots of the origfnal battle and that's where the thing gets complicated. All messed up in politics and theories about how a gent ought to behave. I sat through the second day of it and there was Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. (R. Mass.), perhaps the handsomest Senator, explaining why he couldn't go along with his fellow members of the subcommittee. Those Democrats in charge, he said, were so busy investigating McCarthy that they never got around to investigating the alleged Communists. So he couldn’t say yes and he couldn't say no about such top-flighters as Philip Jessup and Owen Lattimore. - He didn’t really think they were Commies, but
that wasn't because of any investigating done by Bobbie E. Cline the committee, He spoke at length and I could2nd Donald see Sen. Warren Magnuson (D. Wash.) growing Smith. , fidgety.
