BUFFALO, N. Y, June 29.-The
Most Rev. Joseph A. Burke, D. D.,
today was conSecrated auxiliary
bishop of the Buffalo diocese and
titular bishop of Vita, an ancient
see in Tunisia, in the solemn, age
old ritual of the Roman Catholic
Church.
st. Joseph,s New Cathedral was
crowded with religious, civic and lay
leaders who witnessed the elevation
of the 56-year-old, Buffalo-bo
cleric from the rank of domestic
prelate to bishop. Five archbishops
and 10 bishops viewed the three
hour-long services.
The conservation was performed
by the Most Rev. Amleto c.. Cicog-
mani, D. D., apostolic delegate to the
United States. He was assisted by
the Most Rev. Thomas J. Walsh,
D. D., archbishop of Newark, and
the Most Rev. Edmund F. Gibbons,
D. D., bishop of Albany, who were
consecrated in the same cathedral
25 years before.
1t was the first conservation of a
bishop in Buffalo since April 26,
1928. when the Most Rev. John j.
Mcmahon, the late bishop of Tren-
ton. N. j., was elevated.
The five archbishops who wit
messed the ritual were Samuel A.
Stritch, Chicago; Edward Mooney,
Detroit; John T. McNicholas, Gin

Big Increase Noted
In Soft-SheII Crabs

Chesapeake eBuyProduction
Ry the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A phenomena" increase in the
number of Chesapeake Bay soft
shell crabs was reported to Fisheries
Co-ordinator Ickes yesterday by BIZ
ologist John c. Pearson OF the Fish
and Wildlife Service.
Crab-meat production has been
steadily growing since 194l low OF
5000O,000 pounds and is limited now
only by labor shortages and
dwindling supply of bait, the re-
port said.
Mr.. Pearson added the Federal
agency is investigating to determine
whether the increase was caused
by Virginia's maintenance of
sanctuary for spawning crabs during
the last two summers. If this is
found to be the case, Mr.. Pearson
said it would constitute sound and
practical conservation measure.
Largest recent crab-meat produc-
tion was 100000 pounds in 1899.
Following severe winter the figure
fell to 100000 pounds in 1910 and
100000 in 194l, the report added,

Bomber Crews Beat
N-Second Sinkinqs
With Time 10 Spare
Learn to Escape From
Test FuseIoge in
AAFSAT Troininq
By a Staff Correspondent of The star.

BY Staff Correspondent of The star.
ORLANDO, Fla, June 29.-It
takes just about 40 seconds for a
heavy bomber to sink beneath the
waves when she hits water. That
means crews must be carefully
trained to get out of the big ship
Immediately. But first they must
get out rubberlife RATS, water, food
and signaling devices.
Although that sounds like big
order to get out in a few seconds,
it is being done here at the Army
Air Force School of Applied Tactics.
Bomber crews, always agile and
energetic youths, beat the time limit
by many seconds.
Complete BLY, Fuselage.
On placid Lake Susannah, on the
military reservation here, sits a re-
production of a Bit fuselage, COM
pleted with everything except wings,
motors and propellers. Doors, bomb
bay, top escape matches and every
thing are the same, even the big
vertical stabilizer, symbol of the
BIT.
Tucked inside the aluminium skin
Of the bomber, above the radio
compartment, are two rubber RATS,
popped out of their compartment by
brace of pull levers.
When crash at sea is imminent,
horn is blown in the plane to
tell the crew to get ready, that they
have only few seconds to get ready
and get out
Nine Out in 25 Seconds.
Things happen quickly then. Out
of the escape matches, from all open
windows pour the crew, splashing
into the water and making for the
rubber RATS. Bomber crews here
are setting new records for getting
out of the big airplanes. They get
out in far better than the 4O-second
limit. One complete crew of nine
men got out of the ship in better
than IS seconds.
The water of Lake Susannah isn't
rough and bumpy as it would be
in the ocean, but, like most of the
training work here at AAFAST, the
practice is realistic enough to con-
vince the airplane crews they may
need exactly what they are being
taught here.

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calf,
June 29.-The Army Air Forces have
announced that military board of

Assumes Duties Here

Edward Tomlinson, author, radio
commentator and keen student
of South America, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday to assume his new
duties as adviser and analyst on
Latin American affairs for the Blue
Network
His task broadly will be to inter-
pret the trend of internal affairs
among the nations of the neighbor-
ing continent, selecting what is i'm
portant and presenting it to the
United States in way intended to
promote a mutually better under
standing between the United States
and Latin America.
"We will work with the State De-
partment and representatives of
the various countries, of course" he
said, "but we hope to do a job of our
own in putting South America be-
fore our own citizens in its true and
proper light. Latin America is so
important and has been so neglected
we want to get across the idea of its
Importance"
Just Published Book.
A prolific writer, Mr.. Tomlinson
last week published his latest work
a book entitled "The Other Amer
icans," in which he describes some of
his experiences. Among them is his
fight over the Andes-the first ever
made-in an ancient Fairchild
single motor, open cockpit plane
piloted by Cliff Travis. Bad weather
grounded them four days and when
they did take off there was grave
doubt as to just how and where they
would come down.
Mr.. Tomlinson also was a pasSen-
ger on the first regularly scheduled
Clipper ship to cross the Andes on
Columbus Gay, 1929.
On another occasion he recalled
sitting in the bedroom of the home
of Col. Sanchez Cerro Immediately
after he had overthrown the pre-
ViouS Peruvian regime and seized
the government Mr.. Tomlinson and
a companion listened while the
colonel discussed his plans for Peru's
future, while outside the crowd
roared continued demands for the
officers personal appearance. He
had to interrupt the conversation
from time to time to appease his
followers.
Pictures Were Entree.
A graduate of Edinburgh Univer-
sity, Mr.. Tomlinson first broadcast
on South America in 1928 after re-
turning to the States from an ex-
tensive journey through that con-
tinent.
Soon he was being asked regu-
fairly to talk about our neighboring
republics.
Mr.. Tomlinson in 1882 became the
first North American to broadcast
from the southern continent. On
The following year he was the fA
to broadcast the proceedings of III
Latin American Conference in Mon
tivedeo. He has covered" every
conference since. He still makes

Belief In Waste Of Labor
Confirmed by Experience.
To the Editor Of The Star:

Attention often has been called to the
fact that America Is wasteful Nation.
Some years ago, published an article
showing some of the ways in which we
waste. Among others, I pointed out
that Of all sources OF waste, that Of
human labor power through unemploy-
ment and useless employment was great
est and most devastating.
Many friends, commenting on the
article, admitted that most of the
sources of waste to which I referred
were correctly appraised, but they were
not impressed with my inclusion Of
human labor power. and the value set
upon that, notwithstanding had showed
that it was the only source Of wealth
production, and that the only limit to
the achievements of any nation was
the use of its total labor power. They
said men were cheap. There were more
than could be employed profitably. There
was no shortage of human labor power.
1t seems to me that conditions which
confront us today prove my point: The
demand for manpower, for womanpower:
the condemnation Of absenteeism, the
threat Of forced labor
Oh, that we might have as much
sense when the Dove OF Peace hovers
over lis as we suddenly acquire when
Mars leaps into the saddle!

which ordinary civil service restric-
tions have been waived, to which the
OMahoney plan seemingly would
apply, although the Wyoming Sena-
tor has still to work out details.
Senator OMahoney, one of the
foremost advocates of strong civil
service on Capitol Hill, believes it
advisable for such appointments to
be screened through the Senate
so Congress may know the policy
makers of the Government. but the
amount of good accomplished by this
procedure is debatable. In the final
analysis it is the head of an agency,
not those under him, who determines
policy and is responsible for abuses,
and with the exception of a few top
officials named by the President
under his war powers, the principal
Federal executives have been ap-
proved by the Senate. Because re-
Sponsibility does rest at the top. the
Senate could reject a dozen nominees
for subordinate capacities and still
lack assurance that the thirteenth
would be any improvement.
But while there may be difference
Of opinion on this point. there can
be none as to the worth of the objec-
tive at which Senator O'Mahoney
aims-the protection of the merit
system.
I'VE don't want to tear down the
civil service structure" he says, and
that admonition should be borne in
mind by every member of Congress in

leader first saw light of day, March
2, 1893. He was OF Ulster Scot
descent, his father had fought in the
Revolution and his mother was a
woman OF particular distinction of
character who, early left a widow,
established a new home for her nine
children at Maryville on the edge of
the Cherokee country. The boy grew
up with the Indians, served under
Andrew Jackson in the campaign
against the Greeks, studied law and
was elected to Congress in 1923 and
Governor of Tennessee in 1927.
Domestic difficulties led to resigna-
ton Of his executive post and re-
moval to Fort Gibson in what now
IS Oklahoma. He was a member of
the convention at San Felipe de
Austin in 1888 and Of the constitu-
tional convention at the same place
in 1885.
The story of Houston's share in the
making Of Texan independence needs
no detailed retelling. All that is re-
qulred is to mention his appointment
as commander of the armies of
Texas, his defeat Of the Mexicans
under Santa Anna at the Battle of
San Jacinto in 1886 and his election
as first President of the Republic Of
Texas in the fall of the same year.
He was in the Texan Congress from
1888 to 1840, again President from
1841 to 1874. United States Senator
from Texas from its admission to the
Union in 1845 to 1859 and Governor
of the State from 1859 until deposed
for declining to take an oath of
allegiance to the Confederacy in 1861
His career ended at Huntsville on
July 26. 1858, but he left a legend
which continues to grow with sue
ceeding generations.
OF course, it never may be feasible
to explain the genius Of a man so
notably endowed with conspicuous
strength and power. Sam Houston
was mystery while yet he lived, he
remains mystery still. But when
citizens Of Washington pause to think
OF the part which Texas plays in the
life OF the Nation and in that of its
Federal City most especially, they
remember him with gratitude.
Texans in Congress, in the several
Government departments, in the
armed forces, In industry, in litera-
ture and art, in every separate field
OF human enterprise are carrying on
the work which he helped to launch
century ago, and there could be
no grander sort OF homage.

THIS AND THAT.
By Charles Z. Trdce1Dell.

The reference to the pigeon a. q Jap
was to the old saying that the only good
Indian was a dead Indian, and probably
was no more true.
1t was applied solely to the unwanted
pigeon in a yard where feeding Is car
ried en- solely for the small birds
Pigeons eat all day long, and nun up
the feed bills amazingly.
In addition they invariably roost on
OF said ne!ghbor.
There can be no question Of the util-
ity Of the pigeon. especially in war
This great flyer has rendered service
and will render it. as our soldier cor
respondent states, which has put man.
kind in debt to 1t many times.
There is no more loyalty between man
and bird, we believe, than Is shown in
the Signal Corp, in the care taken of
the pigeons.
The deeds Of these birds In World
War I made an exciting and noble
chapter in that bloody tale.
No doubt, as our correspondent sue-
gests, when the complete history Of
World War II is told, the pigeons will
have most honorable place In it.
We like the suggestion Of our third
correspondent as to forming a feeding
line on the lawn.
1t is novel idea, one which could
be carried out also for smaller birds
A looking window" is another good
idea.
Every one interested in birds in the
home grounds should. before everything
else, determine on some one window
from which the feeding activities can be
seen best
Usually this is settled in short order
by the fact that perhaps most often
there IS just one window from which
the best view may be secured.
Many Of the older homes have windows
so high on the rear dining room wall
that Is is impossible to see out easily.
Therefore, some other side OF the
house must be chosen as the place to
erect bird feeding station.
If a windowsill is used, care should
be taken to 80 place the station that
it may be seen from some easy chair
in the room.
II station is put on a stake outside
q window. make the stake high enough
SO that the feeding activities may be
watched easily from = chair.
The looking window" thus affords 4
fine view, and some Of the pleasantest
sights In the home garden. Often rab-
bits, squirrels and other small animals
come into view.
There is really no telling what may
appear ut any moment, in days like
these. 1t IS a practical philosophy to
be prepared for anything, to hope fos
the best. and to expect the worst.

Civil Service Protection

Senator O'Mahoneys proposal to
exempt all but policy making posi-
tions from the scope of the McKellar
bill offers a decided Improvement in
that measure. Many Of the so-called
policy Offices IN the executive
agencies already are subject to Sem
ate approval, and while extension of
this system leaves something to be
desired because Of the possibility that
the term will be construed too lib
lection as the Mcclellan program,
which would be retroactive to Janu-
ary l, 1886, and give the Senate the
power to confirm all appointees re-
ceiving $4,000 or more annually,
without regard to the nature of their
functions.
In the debate preceding the pas
sage of the Ranspeck Civil Service
Extension Act, it was agreed that
policy making positions should not
be covered by the law which brought
thousands Of Offices within the
framework Of civil service, but Con-
gress did not attempt to lay down
rules to define or govern such ap-
polntments. The law simply exempted
positions subject to Senate cOnfirma-
ton. which would take in many in
the policymaking category, and the
President added to this list by ex-
ecutive order SO the heads of agen-
cies might continue to have a free
hand in choosing their ranking sub
ordinates. 1t Is this latter group,
