Capitol Memo
Did Wily Woodpecker
U Cake to Bait Insects?
The lady who watched and
who had placed the stale cake
on the feeder, being pretty
familiar with birds, was sur
prised to see an insect-eating
woodpecker carry away a
piece of cake.
By watching the bird the
lady thought she had a solu
tion, for the bird had carried
the. cake to a nearby tree
where he carefully crammed
it into a crevice in the tree
bark.
The lady figured that, like
a dog that buries a bone, or a
squirrel that hides a nut, the
bird was storing away for
some future time what he
didn't want to eat at once. By
storing it safely in a tall tree,
he hoped it would be out of
sight of the small birds.
Visits Feeder
Several times the wood
pecker visited the feeder and
each time he carried away the
largest piece of cake. Each
time he flew to a different
tree and repeated the same
packing-in process.
He was actually seen to
hammer the pastry solidly in
to the bark crevice.
Once he stuffed a large
hunk into a knothole. After
wedeing the cake into the
crevice, the bird would cock
his head from side to side,
carefully surveying his tamp
ing job. If he found it good,
he would fly away.
From her kitchen window
the lady could see half a doz
en places within a stone's
throw from her window
where the wads of cake had
been stuffed into their re
spective containers.
A couple of days later she
noticed the same bird visiting,
one after another, the caches.
The bird didn't seem, how
ever, to be eating at the place
the cake was stored, but was
working around it, pecking at
something on tne tree trunk.
Pays No Heed
She left her work and walk
ed toward the nearest tree
where the bird was at work.
He paid no attention to her
close approach. He was eating
insects that evidently were
feasting on the cake. The bird
had used the pastry as a lure
to attract the insects.
The stupid bugs were out
in the open where they could
be picked off, one by one, by
the wily bird. On cleaning up
all the insects in sight, the
bird flew quickly to the next
little storage bin where other
nnsiisnecting insects wSre
taking the bait.
Is this, the lady asks, char
acteristic of all these birds?
Do all woodpeckers, if given
a chance, put out bait to lure
insects, or was this just an
unusually bright individual?
How did the bird know the
cake would attract the bugs,
or did the bird intend to eat
the cake at some future time
and found the bugs had ar
rived first, so ate them?
The questions have no easy
answers. So far no one has
entirely untangled the com
plex skein of animal behavior

These lines
readily identi
fy Sir Joseph
to any fan of
Gilbert and
Douilii Gripe S u 1 1 i v a n's
famed operetta, Pinafore.
But the highborn and tat
tered Oregon constitution still
says this about the governor:
He shall be Commander in
Cheif (sic) of the military and
naval forces of this state."
Naval forces?
You bet. No ships maybe,
but plenty of boats.'
The., .State Marine Board
counted up today, and said
Oregon's "navy" currently
consists of 131 boats plus three
ferries on the Columbia river
at Astoria.
If Oregon's fleet has a flag
ship, she is the largest of the
Astoria ferries - the M. R.
Chessman - A 180 fool, 570
tonner that is 14 years old. j
Larger, but a tow boat, is i
the Port of Portland's 928 ton!
stpamcr Portland, a 2191
foot sternwheeler that i
hauls visiting ships in Port
land harbor. The marine board f
didn't count this vessel, orj
three others owned by the
port, but since the port is a i
state agency, the grand total j
of vessels in the Oregon navy
is 138.
Next biggest is the Acona, a
geodetic survey craft owned
by Oregon State university.
She is 80 feet long and is 154
tons.
Eight state agencies have
boats, and the most nautical
is the game commission, with I
59. The state police are next:
with 44, including a 40-foot
cruiser.
In addition to the Acona,
OSU has 11 boats. The uni
versity of Oregon claims nine,
and the board of forestry,
highway department and Ore
gon Technical Institute a t
Klamath Falls, two each.
The board of health even
has a boat. They use it to
check water pollution at close
range.
Article 5, section 9 of the
constitution which gives the
governor power to press these
vessels into battle is, you
might say. outdated.
It brought chuckles from a
mend that the reference to
naval forces can be cut out
of a proposed new state con-
stitution.

Newbry Speaks at
Stockmen's Meeting
State Senator Lynn Newbry
told the Jackson County
Stockmen's association a t
Central Point Grange hall last
night that reductions are be
ing made in range permits
throughout southern Oregon.
Senator Newbry told the
group that in Harney county
the same reductions are con
templated.
He said the interim com
mittee on natural resources
has become alarmed and will
hold public hearing in Jack
son county early in May.
He said he called the com
mittee to hold a hearing be
cause, "the 'Hulo Hoop' meth
od of evaluating range capa
bilities raises serious doubts
in my mind. How can this pos
sibly be accurate?".
"The real proof of range
capabilities lies in the condi
tion of stock grazing the
range. Certainly it is in the
best public interest to see that
range lands in Oregon are
properly maintained, but
plain common sense would
tell us that stockmen are not
going to overgraze the ranRe
at the expense of their stock,"
Newbry said.

late this month
There have been no national
elections since President Mo
hammed Ayub Khan took
over the government in a mili
tary coup in October, 1958.
But Ayub's military govern
ment has introduced a consti
tution and is gradually re
turning the nation to parlia
mentary rule. The elections
will fill 150 National Assem
bly seats and the 150 - seat
State Assemblies. Voting is
expected to be completed by
early May.
Papers Filed
Nomination papers have
been filed by three ministers
of Ayub's present cabinet,
and a host of private citizens,
including lawyers, industrial
ists, businessmen large and
small, labor leaders, journal
ists, milkmen, camel and rick
shaw drivers, and a jockey
from a Karachi race track.
Members of the national
and provincial assemblies will
be elected by basic democrats,
some 85.000 Pakistanis who
were specifically chosen in a
national election for the pur
pose. Thus there will be no
direct election for national or
provincial assemblies, or the
presidency. The basic demo
crats will serve as an electoral
college.
On March 1, Ayub made
good on his promise to restore
democracy in Pakistan. The
constitution, which provides
strong executive powers and
is based on a presidential
rather than parliamentary
system, calls for establish
ment of unicameral legisla
tures at the national and pro
vincial level.
Nearly Ruined
President Ayub still does
not trust politicians, whom he
blames for creating the na
tion's financial situation which
nearly ruined the country and
was the cause of his declaring
martial law and assuming
power in 1958.
Ayub banned political par
ties in 1958. Under the new

with anti-state activities. The
arrest of Suhrawardy, a lead
er of the Awami League which
was very popular in East
Pakistan, caused demonstra
tions by students at Dacca
university Feb. 6.
Sought to Embarrass
The demonstrations were
thought to have been insti-

mcnts which sought to em
barrass the administration
ltution.
Chudhri Khaliquzz a m a n.
former president of the now
defunct Pakistan Muslim
League, made a public plea
to President Ayub to allow
the formation of political
parties.
Khaliquzzaman told news
men "unless the President
himself allows the formation
of political parties and favor

of desirability of the old . . .
party leaders who can not
take part in the present elec

any prospect for the forma

long time to come."
Simpler to Work
But in a nationwide radio
