High in the volcano country of
Guatemala live the Quinches. Theirs
is tribal name to remember, and
respect, for in 1923 they created
doctrine-a theory of isolation and
self-sufficiency-which has preserved
the tribes independence and pros
perity for more than four centuries.
Long before we saw the urgency
and issued our isolation doctrine,
the Quiche Indians had a Monroe
Doctrine" of their own. They called
it THE Blood Oath of Chichica-
stenango."'
When Alvarado, as an agent for
Cortez, arrived in the highlands of
Guatemala to subjugate the VOL
cano tribes and add them to Spain's
new Central American empire, the
Quinches, under their chief, Tecum,
fought the intruders as long as pos
sible, then made peace. Alvarado
and his Conquistadores set up their
Colonial capital at Antigua, and
the Quiches went back to their
mountain villages. Huddled fear
fully in remote valleys, they tried
to plan some new program that
would preserve them from being
decimated by the conquerors.
Legend has it that one day the
chief of the Quiches called the tribe
together behind the smoking Att
Ian and told his people that there
seemed only one thing the tribe
could do to preserve its independ-
ence. I'VE must use nothing be-
longing to the strangers" he said.
1--WE must use only the things which
are our own, made by our own
craftsmen-and no Quiche must ever
mix blood with an outsider!"
Receives Blood Oath.
He cut his hand with a cere-
monial obsidian knife, and, STEP
ping past each member of the
tribe, gave and received a tribal
blood oath. Never would Quiche
blood be mixed with the blood of
stranger; never would Quiche
use any tool not produced by his
own clan, or any product not of a
| Quiche craft.
A wise old man that chief must
have been, for today the Quiches
are the only race of people in the
American Hemisphere who have pre-
served their crafts and independ-
ence-and to whom 1t wouldn' t mat
| ter at all if the rest of the earth
dropped into the ocean and left
them in physical as we'll as social
isolation.
I went first into their country Is
years ago on muleback. From the
steaming jungles of the Guatemalan
coasts up into the temperate high

improved by rerouting traffic to and from
the Potomac Golf Course through the
underpass by the Potomac River under
the R. F. &, P. Railroad. This rerouting
might be only for twQ or three hours in
the morning and afternoon.
There is an intersection where the
buses turn out Of the Mall into Four
teenth street that should be protected
by a policeman on point duty. The con-
fusion there is inexcusabIe in city like
Washington.
Washington traffic is slowed by the
failure to understand and apply the
principle that the loss of efficiency in
free-1owing traffic occasioned by an in
tersection with equal flow in both streets
is as high as rs per cent. The answer to
such intersection losses of traff1c-flow
efficiency is to eliminate intersections.
That can be done, as in New York City,
by the stopping of all cross traffic for
intervals of 10 blocks or more. Such
cross streets might even be made per-
manently dead end to the advantage of
the traffic and the people living on the
streets cut of. Using this method,
speeds Of 40 miles an hour are possible
with safety for 10 blocks or more. Ac-
cumulations of vehicles in downtown
areas are rapidly reduced with safety.

U. S. Employees Aided

+ The program being shaped by the
Civil Service Commission to facilitate
transfers and promotions through
out the Federal service gives promise
Of meeting well-recognized need.
For years the employees themselves
and progressive administrators have
realized that failure to discover spe-
cial abilities OF employees was retard-
Ing the advancement of capable
workmen in many instances, and at
the same time causing the Govern
ment to incur the expense of holding
Nationwide examinations for posi-
tions which actually could have been
filled by men or women already in
the service If their qualifications
had been known. Funds to set up
the comprehensive system of per-
sonnel records required to make such
information on every individual
readily available were never forth
coming, however, and despite recur-
rent agitation, the matter got but
little beyond the talking stage.
The new arms program changed all
this. With specialists needed in
many lines, survey of Government
man power was in order to determine
what personnel could be shifted to
defense functions from other duties,
and the compilation of this data is
laying the groundwork for the over
all system of transfers and promo
tions.
A comprehensive card index of the
principal employment qualifications
of the employees is being assembled,
making it possible for the Civil Serv-
ice Commission to determine without
delay If there is adequately equipped
personnel available for any vacancy
that may occur in the Government.
There are operating details still to
be worked out, and the cooperation
Of all agencies will be required if the
transfer plan is to function smoothly
and effectively. This, however, is
expected to be forthcoming without
question.
The Inauguration of the ambitious
program for improving personnel
administration e-emphasizes the
necessity for passage of the Ram
speck civil service extension bill
which has been lying in the Senate
almost six months since receiving
House approval. Thousands of en-
ployes who would get civil service
status under the Ramspeck bill will
be foreclosed from benefiting by the
new transfer project unless the legis-
lation is enacted. as they are not
eligible for appointment to positions
in the classified service.
