The Scaboard Railway has claimed for
itself the distinction of being a builder
wherever we serve. Our friends-patrons
Of the Railway-have been gracious in
confirming that claim.
A case IN point is the Seaboard's con-
tribution to recent developments in the
pulp and paper industry Of the South.
For many years, this has been a major
project with our Industrial Department..
AS far back as the l92O's, detailed surveys
were made Of the best locations for pulp
and paper mills, and the cooperation of
the local people was enlisted in our ef~
forts to develop the pulp and paper

have been abundantly rewarded. Several
large mills have been located in our ter
ritory in recent years and others will no
doubt be built in the future.
Many other new enterprises, industrial
and agricultural, have been brought in as
a result Of the Seaboard's cooperation
with local communities. The Railway
is continuously on the alert for every
opportunity to aid in improving the eco

upper thighs, which were clothed
in abbreviated shorts.
Even the delicatei membranes be-
meath the eyelids were burned, and
so were the membranes of nose and
throat.
The patient was under treatment
for 81 days and during that time
he developed such complications as
shock, anemia, clotting in various
blood vessels and blood poisoning.
His legs and arms were bandaged,
but because bandaging of the body
is poorly tolerated in the heat of
the tropics, his trunk was sprayed
with a vaseline-paraffin mixture,
and his face was coated thickly with
sulfathiazole ointment.
He was given morphine, plasma,
transfusions of whole blood, re-
ceived penicillin every three hours
for II days--a total of 100000
units.
About a month after he was in
tured, skin gratis were placed on
two of the worst-burned areas. The
skin for the gratis was taken from
previously burned areas which had
healed.
After two months in hospital,
he was sent to rear area for a
month and then returned to duty.

Ramspeek Remands
Civil Service Report
Fiqht 10 Committee

A party fight in the House Civil
Service Committee over its staff in
vestigation report on alleged mall
administration of civil service laws
--as yet unpublished-was carried to
the House floor yesterday by mi
nority committee members.
The set-to was ended after about
25 minutes when Chairman RAM
speck declared the House was mot
the place" to air the issues, and an
nounced the question would be
taken up during a committee ses-
sion Tuesday morning.
Debate yesterday revolyed around
both the report and the action late
Thursday of Chairman Ramspeck in
suspending the authority of Col.
E. j. Mccormack, chief investiga-
tor Of the committee, for releasing
a scathing letter he had written
the chairman about the report.
Want Report Published.
The Mccormack report deals with
charges of too rapid" pay promo
tions in'the federal service, faulty"
classification of jobs by the Civil
Service Commission and wide va
riations" in classification and pay
among the personnel of various
agencies supposedly doing the same
type of work.
The issue was raised in the house
by Representative Vursell, Repub-
lican of Illinois, who praised Col.
McCormack's work and called for
publication of the Mccormack re-
port. He was supported by Repre-
sentative Rees, Republican, of
Kansas, ranking minority member
of the committee. Representative
Miller, Republican, of Nebraska.
also got into the colloquy to ask
whether Col. Mccormack had been
dismissed.
1T raises the question whether or
not committee of Congress rep
resenting the people with an eff
cient investigating staff, with honest
investigators employed, can cope
with entrenched bureaucracy here
on Capitol HILL" Mr.. Vursell told
the House.
OCACh0c 4FACSoIDhdCh
Mr.. Vursell criticized Chairman
Ramspeck for the "hasty" dismiss
sal action and said Col. Mccormack
had saved the Government almost
billion dollars while acting under
the committees direction.
No question arose as to Col. Nc
Cormack's ability, the Illinoisian
said, until he reported ineficiency
and waste in the Civil Service Com
mission.
Chairman Ramspeck maintained
that since the report contained
statements which had been cate
gorically denied by Civil Service
Commissioner Arthur S. Flemming
he had held it should not be pub
lished until the committee could
complete thorough checking.
AS long as he was chairman of
the committee, he said, he did not
propose to conduct its work in the
manner of another committee"
whose performance had been criti-
cized-meaning the former Dies
Unamerican Activities Committe.
While Mr.. Ramspeck has indi-
Gated he believes Col Mccormack
should be dismissed, he told the
House the majority vote would rule
the committee decisions.

Person responsible for that liver

was Brig. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan.
1t was midmorning when Truman
received word that the Soviet leader
wished to call on him around

to see what was cooking. Liver
bacon and onions" said the chef.
If that's good enough for the Presi-
dent of the United States, it's good
enough for anybody, Gen. Vaughan
said to himself and gave orders for
the meal to proceed as planned.
The dish was served up, steaming
in regulation American style. Stain
ate his portion, asked for a second
helping and then inquired about
the recipe. Rumors rippling out
from the Kremlin since then have
it that liver, bacon and onions
(American style, mind you) Is now
a favorite dish with the Soviet
Unions biggest boss.
Harry Truman met Harry
Vaughan at Fort Sill, Okla, during
the Great War while both were
officers in training. They fought
together overseas and have kept in
close contact ever since. After re-
turning to Missouri in 1918.
Vaughan became chemical engi-
neer, but in 1941 he arrived in
Washington as secretary to Senator
Truman. Called back into uniform
the following year, he was sent to
Australia for extended duty. Al
though he had been wounded twice
In the first World War, he came
even nearer death in this one when
an airplane crash left him with
several broken bones and crushed
foot.
He recuperated at Walter Reed
Hospital and then became haison
officer between the Truman COM
mittee and the Army.
