Letters to The Star
Criticizes Check of Behavior

SATIl1clLGS AuSCk Vi DClIdFiOl
by Civil Service
To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial entitled Federal En-
ployes' Rights appearing in the
November 20 issue interested me.
You invite attention to Commissioner
Frances Perkins comments re the un-
just restraint imposed upon the per-
sonal freedom" of Federal employees,
Next you refer to the ambiguous COM
ments made by Commissioner Flemming,
which supposedly relate to the subject
at hand. You close by concurring with
Commissioner Flemming's opinion con-
cerning code Of conduct established
by custom and law, and suggest that
Miss Perkins define the meaning Of her
statement.
But few Government employees will
require definition from Miss Perkins.
The commission officials and its in
vestigating 6ivision-like the, camel In
Aesop's fable who gradually pushed
himself into the tent and crowded out
the rightful occupant--have been taking
more and more authority unto them
selves in the realm OF debating and
attempting to enforce a code of conduct
for Government employees. It is an un-
natural code, which implies that Gov
ernment workers-Who pay taxes like
others-should be set aside as holier-
than-thous, unlike the rank and file
of the human race, of which they at
least theoretically are part. It is the
kind Of a code which usually originates
with recently converted "reformer.D
This authority, assumed by the COM
mission, permits it to inquire into the
very personal circumstances Of divorce
action, the use Of alcoholic beverages,
and other matters which have no bear
ing upon persons ability to fill a job
or which come within the meaning of
notorious conduct" And the good in
vestigator tries to @get something" on
the person being investigated; other
wise, he is only regarded as fair COM
mission investigator. He is not admon-
ished to conduct an objective evaluation
OF ones personal fitness for a job.
The attitude expressed by Commits
sioner FIemming and epitomized in the
conduct of the good investigators" also
should imply that the commission and
its. employees are without blenish.
Shameful as such a thing may be, I
have seen commission officials and even
the good investigators" drinking alco-
holic beverages and that In q public
place.
In Aesop's fable, the man who oc-
cupied the tent finally became angry
with the camel, who only wanted to
rest his head in the tent: the man took
a heavy club and drove the camel OUT
side the tent. It is about time Miss
Perkins or some other equally gifted
Government official takes measures to
drive the commission out of our re-
spective back yards; otherwise, we shall
soon find them peeping at us from
under beds.
In the same issue of The Star Little
Orphan Annie makes the following
conment to her dog, Sandy: Il guess
it's usually freedom for few amateur
samaritans to make laws to force every
one else to be good and kind. accordin'.
to their rules-or else" This observa-
tion is pertinent, except that cannot
picture the commission In the role of
an amateur samaritan" or any other
kind OF samaritan

A Juvenile on Delinquency
To the Editor of The Star:
After reading your letter column of
December 2, find myself in partial dis
agreement with Donald Hare, who
wrote on Juvenile delinquency.
am senior in high school, II, and,
being young, I think am in pretty
good position to speak from the young
peoples point of view.
President Truman hasn't asked me
either, but would say that juvenile de-
linquency is not essentially the fault of
the home. 1t is fault shared by the
home, the Government and plain people
in general. It is born of violations of
democratic ethics and principles. It
springs from religious intolerance, laxity
in many fields of cultural influence. It
comes from Negro and Jewish kids who
are tired of being called names and
decide to take it out" on society
whose biased percentages have heaped
gross injustices upon them. 1t comes
from kids whose parents have been
given unfair deals, from sons and daugh-
ters of ex-convicts whose parents cannot
obtain decent employment and who
therefore slip back into the ways of
the underworld. 1t comes from segre-
gated school systems and a Government
which, though powerful, wise and mod
ern, still retains within itself those per-
sons who deny the vote, the sacred
right of Americans, to their neighbors
and who also refuse clean, wholesome
and adequate recreational facilities to
some young people because of racial or
national origins
wonder If Mr.. Hare ever has stopped
to consider that juvenile delinquents
constitute only very small fraction of
the youth Of today. The youngsters
working for better America far exceed
the delinquent minority. Even the de-
linquents with proper guidance can be
transformed. It has been done, it Is
being done. JACK EDGAR BRENT.

American Industry Nationalizes

American Industry Nationalized
To the Editor os The Star.
In The Star of December l, George
Weller Of London discusses the British
government plan ito nationalize. the
British transportation system. He uses
the terms "nationalize,s asocialfzes and
"collectivize," and their derivitives, some
10 times, and ends with dire sugges-
ton of the "the national government
petrifying into a totalitarian pattern" I"
He views with alarm and obviously was
trying to alarm Americans.
But let us recall little American his
tory. The founding fathers usually are
held to have been good Americans. In
their new Constitution of 1787, they ma
tionalized fsocialized the only two
monopoly utilities they had, namely, the
postal system and the highway post
road system. If those developing later
had existed then, they certainly would
have been nationalized, too. Much of
Government supervision, control and
operation has been added since, by vote
of the people.
BY the time that the other great
monopoly. industries trailroad, telephone,
gas and electric utilities) were developed,
American industry, was strong enough
to prevent their naturalization

BY FRANK COLBY.
What's In a Name?

Recently I asked that you send me
unusual personal names to be run
in this column as an interesting ad-
dition to our studies of American
word lore. Names have come in by
the hundreds-far too many to be
acknowledged individually. Thanks
very much for your thoughtfulness.
Mrs. r. L., Los Angeles, sends
these names from list of first grade
students: Carolyn Longyear; Larry
Endwhistle; Garry Leftleg.
Mrs. E. S. B. of Springfield, Mass,
collects odd names as a hobby. Her
long list includes a Washington
tailor named M Y. Needle, Boston
lawyer named I. Spiel, and a Dr.
Toothacre, official school dentist of
Burlington, Iowa.
J. w. w, of Washington, D. c..
also is a fancier of unusual names.
Among the names he submits are
Yelverton Cowherd, Golden Dagger.
Greek Rice, Nogi A. Asp, PGad B.
Morehouse. and Sir Mordaunt
Snagge Aubrey H. Y'Blood.
Mrs. f. L. s., OF Ell PaSo writes:
"The first time saw my first hus-
bands name, signed to a telegram.
I felt sure it was an error. Nobody.
I thought, ever had such q name as
Archibald Thistle. Before marriage.
my initials were R. E. S. When I
married Mr.. Thistle my initials be-
came r. E. S. T. Therefore his
initials and my initials were A. T,
R. E. S. IT., rather prophetic, for he
died and is now at rest"

Opening lead: Jack of clubs.
At every reasonable opportunity
it has been our policy to stress the
principle that every high card is
not the equal Of every other card
Of the same denomination. The
honor trick table may tell us that
king is worth one-half 4 trick and
on the average the table will be
right. But on a particular hand we,
who have listened to the bidding,
may come to the conclusion that a
certain king, far from being worth
a half trick, is absolutely useless
because partner may have shown
that he has a singleton or void of
that suit. Then, too, we may decide
that certain king has become just
so much ballast by reason of the
fact that our left-hand adversary
has bid the suit very strongly and
that the chances of winning a trick
with that card are extremely remote
On the other hand, the value Of
half trick assigned to king ma,
be grossly inadequate when we re-
alize that the king in question Is
sure to win trick The assurance
may come from the fact that partner
bid that suit, or indicated that he
had the ace to match it. 1t is con-
siderations of this kind that per-
suade us of the inadequacy of all
the mathematical systems"
When North picked up his hand
he saw only one and half honor
tricks and had nothing to cheer
about since, If fate were unkind, his
hand might produce no tricks, but
as the bidding developed he learned
that he had the equal of three aces.
to say nothing of the doubleton
diamond and the fourth trump. On
the third round of bidding it became
apparent that he had an enormous
hand.
To the opening bid of one spade
North could do no more than give
a single raise To be sure, it was
a very comfortable raise and with
it was held out the wish that part
ner would speak again. But if
partners hand were such that he
could take no further action there
| was no good chance for game.
South. of course, Immediately real
lied that there was game in the
hand, but if North happened to
have maximum raise and in the
right places, there might even be
slam. If North's values happened
to be In hearts there would be no
hope, but if they happened to be in
the minor suits prosperity might be
just around the corner. AT any rate,
there was no harm in bidding three
diamonds, which was a one-round
| force~ North now indicated that he
has good raise by going to four
| spades.
1t now appeared to South that
five was safe, SO he made one more
try by showing the ace of clubs.
You see what this did to North's
hand: 1t converted every one of his
honor cards to the equivalent of an
ace. He was inclined to bid the
slam himself, because it was incon-
ceivable that South could do all
this bidding with two losing hearts.
However, he decided to show the
king of diamonds and South took
the leap himself, feeling that at
worst the slam would depend on
some sort of .finesse in the diamond
suit. Actually, it turned out to be
a laydoWn
