Poor Business.

It was to be expected that President
Roosevelt's plan to extend civil service
would encounter some rough going, but
the disclosure that heads Of departments
and independent agencies generally are
starting backfire Of opposition in order
to retain control of the top-flight posi-
tions comes as disagreeable surprise.
The Presidents order said very plainly
that only those places Of q polcy-form-
ing nature, or which for some special
reason belong outside Of civil service,
are to continue to be exempt after
February /, unless there is . law to the
contrary. The program Is designed not
only to break up patronage abuses, but
to lay the foundation tor career service

serves support. particularly from the
omcials Of the executive agencies.
From tho replies to communication
sent out to them by the Civil Service
Commission. asking for recommenda-
tions ~ to continued exemptions, how
ever, it Is very plain that the charges
Of patronsge-grabbing which have been
leveled at Congress apply to q wider field.
Instead Of the anticipated co-opera-
ton, the commission has been told at
length why the highly paid posts should
remain a. they are. The supposed in
ability Of the commission to hold exami-
nations adequate to meet certain needs
has been talking point Of the opposi-
ton, and in at least one case, the con-
tention, in effect. was that 1T is a we'll
recognized fact that the sort OF persons
yo. want won't take civil service ex-
aminations"
For the lower grades, however, no fears
are raised.
It has been made clear that the COM
mission. will not be swayed by this sort
Of argument in the report to the Presi-
dent that Will be the basis for classifying
the positions, nor Is Mr.. Roosevelt likely

One Viewpoint Upon
American Freedom.

One Viewpoint Upon
American Freedom.
TO the Editor Of The Star:
FREEDOM in America is known the
= world over It Is the foundation
stone on which the founding fathers
mapped the broad principles on which
the greatest democracy Of the world has
been built and maintained.
But freedom in America has always
been an issue. It always will be. And
because freedom is ever live subject, 1t
becomes q more engaging theme ana 1ts
privileges more widely appreciated and
appropriated. go
Complete freedom for America was
not won at Valley Forge. It did not
become an outmoded principle at Apo
mattox. Victories on these and other
now hallowed spots only opened wider
avenues for greater freedom. Battles
have had to continue. Lincoln's proc
lamation touched only fraction Of the
Nations population. and only q single
phase Of freedom was involved, It ended
. type Of human slavery, but not all
types Of such slavery.
It Is all forms of slavery the people
have continued to fight. They ask no
quarter and seek no armistice. One
generation passes to the next IN, un.
finished task. That Is civilization on the
advance. A nation that stops the process
enters its first stages of decay.
TIMOTHY THOMAS.
Evening star., 1938-09-27

In most cases 1t has been permitted to
stand dry all summer.
That Is what causes the trouble.
It Is always best to keep about 2 inches
Of water in an unused aquarium, prefer
ably kept covered with q glass lid, in
order to keep the entire inside covered
with moisture.
This moisture keeps the cement from
drying out. The drying process is what
causes most Of the leaks. Only enough
cement Is used to hold the glass sides
in contact with the slate bottom. The
slightest drying may cause the cement
to pull away. The least pull is enough
to make minute leak.
Very few Of these leaks can be de-
tected with the eye. But the moment
the tank is filled, the water begins to
seep out.
It is a good plan to look over the ce-
ment before filling the aquarium with
water, and to apply new at points where
there is obviously none. To do this, the
inside must be dry.
II the aquarium still leaks, two simple
methods may be tried.
One is to pulverize a piece Of brick,
and rub some Of the dust on the outside
Of the tank at the point on the frame
where the water is coming out. Mostly
these leaks are rather slow. Often Just
wet area occurs, with no falling water.
Sometimes this brick dust will seal
the leak for all practical purposes.
Another scheme which has worked is
to take small strip Of paper, such as
on the margin Of newspaper, and afix
It to the wet area on the outside of the
tank.
It will stick, and make sort of wick,
absorbing the water as it comes out.
This absorption makes a very slight cur
rent at the opening inside the aquarium,
and this current tends to pull minute
bits of debris into the opening, some
times sealing it completely.
II this happens, the paper on the out
side Of the tank will dry up and fall off.
If neither Of these plans works, the
tank must be emptied, dried, and then
cemented again. Often it Is easier and
more satisfactory to buy new aquarium.
~ ~
Fishes brought indoors for the winter
must be placed in water of exactly the
they were taken.
The violation of this rule leads to sick
ness and death, although the disaster
may take weeks to arrive
Hence q small thermometer honestly
used, is the best health insurance.
The other thing to be remembered in
connection with the water is that as
much of it per fish as possible should be
allowed. Commonly this rule is violated
by enthusiasts bringing tropicals indoors,
for there are great many youngsters,
and the oldsters are larger than ever,
and yet the whole crowd goes back into
the same tank which before had only
half as many fishes.
In this way, many "unexplainable"
deaths result, which might have been
avoided II the owner had been willing to
sell or give away some Of his charges.

minority adjustments upon the Csechs
by force Of arms-in the Hungarians'
case for the cogent reason that the other
Little Entente powers, YugoslaNa and
Rumania, warned Budapest that II 1t
fired shot at Czechoslovakia they would
forthwith attack Hungary.
It all boils down to something amaz-
ingly akin to game Of poker, with
King Blun lowering behind both sets OF
players. Hitler talked loud and long
last night about the cards he holds. But
can he match the mighty hand which
the czechs and their British, French
Russian and Entente friends-and their
American ympathizers-can play2 Tho

Letters to The Star
Pleads the Cause
OF Handicapped Children.

OF Handicapped Children.
To the Editor Of The Star:
THE world has progressed since the
days Of Greece. when preparedness
of the nation was more important than
the individual, and the handicapped
child was cast aside as . nuisance.
Within the last 10 years the educational
profession has accomplished great deal
In the education Of the crippled child.
However. despite the fact that mod
ern courses of education are provided for
cripples in other cities, there Is glaring
deficiency of the proper educational IA
cilities for Washirgton's handicapped
children. At the present time the only
opportunity given this unfortunate class
of students in the District is that found
in the Langdon Grade School for Grip
pied Children, which only offers courses
Of elementary education. After gradu-
ating from the ninth grade OF this school.
a crippled child is completely disregarded
by the District schools.
Any father and mother. any thinking
man and woman can certainly see the
cial class in high school for our handi-
capped children. 1t is the duty OF all
public minded citizens to make every
effort toward the educational rehabili-
tation OF such children so that they will
become self-respecting and seH-support-
ing citizens.
Surely no more worthy project could
be suggested for P. w. A. grant or for
an outright appropriation from the Dis
trict school fund than that providing
for courses of higher education for our
crippled boys and girls. It would be a
paying proposition. Contemporary his
tory is replete with incidents Of handi-
capped men and women who, having re-
ceived the advantages of an education,
have become great leaders and have con-
tributed to our Nations welfare.
It will require more than a passing
interest to convince the School Board
that citizens of the District recognize
the humanitarian need of . high school
education for our crippled children. For
10 years committees have been working
for this cause, but to no avail. But
certainly there are q multitude Of cit1-
Zens whose hearts must weep at the
treatment received by those who already
bear a crushing load. I urge them to
let their voices be raised, to sacrifice
their time and energies in order that our
handicapped children may have the op-
portunity to receive that education which
Is Americas birthright to all our future
citizens

Mr.. Prochnik's Choice.

Edgar l.. g. Prochnik, first and last
Minister of Austria to the United States,
might have preferred to return to Vienna
when his country became part Of the
greater" Germany Of Adolf Hitler. He
might have conformed to changed con-
ditions and, having made the necessary
psychological adjustment, continued his
diplomatic career. But instead he has
elected to remain in Washington and to
join the faculty Of the Foreign Service
School Of Georgetown University. An
army of friends are delighted to learn Of
his decision.
OF course, Mr.. Prochnik's choice has
ample precedent. Constantin Brun,
former Minister Of Denmark, is but one
Of number of ENJOYS who. retiring from
active duty, have stayed on in the
capital to which they were accredited.
Such an informal continuance Of an
official designation Is natural enough.
And both countries, in each instance,
o4C duVdAiUd6CO w t4lC CACuIIlotd1lCc.
Ties Of amity are strengthened by the
interchange of private citizens as well
as by protocol procedure. In Mr..
Prochnik's case, especially. there is
reason for satisfaction that he will make
his home IN the community which George
Washington and Thomas Jefferson long
ago visioned as "a new Athens In the
New World"
He has distinguished qualifications for
academic work. 1t happens that he
personifies the graceful civilization which
was characteristic of Vienna in its prime.
He is possessed of the gifts Of courtesy,
tolerance and liberality, the poise and
ease Of manner, for which that beauti-
full city was famous. Merely by residing
In washington he will contribute some
thing helpful. On the teaching staf1
of Georgetown he will have q place and
. function useful to the institution, its
students and its larger public. Every
body concerned deserves consratulation
