Kelly remained its head until his
retirement.

Top Federal Salary
By Joseph Young

Salaries for top professional, adj
ministratiye and scientific person
mel In the Government should be
raised "at least" 5000 year, Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur s.
Flemming declared today in an ad-
dress signaling the start Of an Of
fensive to get Congress to lift the
present $4,000 Federal pay ceiling
In his speeches, delivered In Prince
ton, N. J., at Princeton University's
conference on University Education
and the Public Service" Mr.. Flem-
ming made 1t clear he believes the
Government faces the danger ao1
entrusting highly complex responsi-
bilities to second-rate men,"
IF we put second rate men in the
Governments scientific Laboratories,
In important positions in the field o1
international relations, and in our
key administrative posts, we are de-
liberately jeopardizing everything
for which we fought in World Wal
H." Mr.. Flemming declared.
Forecasts New Effort.
For some time Mr.. Flemming has
been vitality concerned over the Gov
ernment's problem In retaining and
obtaining men of the highest calibel
in the most important Federal jobs
His speech today was q clear indica-
tion that he intends to press his
fight to lift the present $4,000 Fed
eral ceiling to $4,000 a year.
The drive will be made when the
new Congress convenes. Last years
effort to raise the ceiling failed
but those who opposed Il indicated
that, although they voted against
1t, they weren't unalterably opposed
to higher wages in the top brackets.
Most Of the opposition echoed the
sentiments of Senator Taft, Re-
publican, Of Ohio, who Is slated to
be majority leader of the Senate,
that while they generally favored
raising salaries In many jobs they
didn't want ITO rush into it, with
out studying the situation. Senator
Taft asked that the matter be
thoroughly studied by the Senate
Civil Service Committee and again
brought up at the forthcoming ses-
sion of Congress.
The position taken by Mr.. Flem-
ming and many other high Govern

nent o6lciAis Il that in many cases
the Federal service can't hope to
attract and retain top-f1ight men
because Of the comparatively small
salaries offered. During last years
hearings on the Federal Pay Act
the House and Senate Civil Service
Committees were told hundreds Of
the Governments most valued scien-
lists and professional men were
leaving TO take better paying jobs
in private industry.
Urges Continued Training.
In his speech at Princeton today,
Mr.. Flemming also advocated that
the Government provide continuing
opportunities for education for those
engaged In the Federal service In
professional, scientific and technical
work. In-servics training, leaves Of
absence for advanced study, as well
as opportunities to observe how
problems are handled outside oi

Greece Votes

The eyes of the world are on
Greece today as the elections for a
new parliament are held. Un-
fortunately, these elections take
place within framework of both
internal and international disagree
ment so acute that the results may
be unfortunate, no matter how
fairly the actual voting is con-
ducted
Responsibility for this truly tragic
situation seems to rest proximately
with the Communist-d dominated
EAM and remotely with Moscow.
Last November, at conference held
in Athens at the suggestion of
British Foreign Undersecretary
Hector Mcneil, all Greek political
parties, including EAM, agreed that
elections should be held in March.
To insure their fairness, the Greek
caretaker government invited OBJ
servers from the four major Powers
to come to Greece, investigate con-
ditions, and watch the actual poll
ing. Britain, France and the
United States promptly agreed, and
teams of observers of those ma
tionalities, aggregating several
hundred persons, have been in
Greece for some time and will full
fill their mission today.
However, Soviet Russia refused
the invitation, alleging that this
would be interference in the affairs
Of sovereign nation, while EAM
soon began to protest against the
time set, demanding postponement
of the elections for many months.
Such postponement would perpet-
uate the current tensions and un-
certainties which render national
reconstruction impossible. The vital
prerequisite to stabilization is the
freely-expressed verdict of the
Greek people.
Nevertheless, Fam has used every
method to block or nullify the ex-
preston of the popular will. 1t has
ordered its adherents to boycott the
election, is urging and even threat
ening voters of other parties, and is
brandishing the menace of civil
war. The aim is, of course, to cause
such abStentions from the polls that
EAM can claim the elections were
unrepresentative and farcical. So
intimidated has the caretaker gov
ernment been that it wavered until
advised by both the British and
American governments that the
elections should be held on schedule
So, on this spring Sunday, the
polls throughout Greece are open
for business, with the Allied OBJ
servers at their posts to watch the
proceedings. What will happen, and
what will be the aftermath, is any
body'S guess.

An indispensable Test

1t Is difficult to see any merit in
the resolution introduced by Sena-
tor Huffman to cancel completely
the atom versus fleet tests sched-
uled to be held this summer at
Bikini Atoll. The resolution is
predicated primarily on the as
sumption that other powers would
look upon the historic project as
martial gesture by the United
States, suggesting preparation for
future wars and thus breeding fear
and suspicion and striking a psy-
Geological blow at the international
effort to build an enduring peace.
Such an assumption, however,
seems very far-fetched. Actually,
almost as soon as the first atomic
bomb fell on Japan, the proposal to
experiment with it against naval
power cropped up spontaneously in
many different parts of the country
among many different groups of
Americans long before the Govern
ment decided favorably upon the
idea. From the start the whole
plan has made sense to most people
for the simple and inescapable rea-
son that it is indispensable to any
attempt to measure the future sig
nificance and envision the future
character and organization of the
navies of the world-all this apart
from its important function in
broader scientific sense.
1t would be most surprising in the
circumstances if any nation abroad
felt about the projected Bikini tests
as Senator Huffman and his sup
porters imagine. After all, the gen.
eral findings of the tests will be as
of much interest to the world at
large as to us, and our Government
has made it Enthusiastically clear that
the whole purpose of the undertak-
ing is legitimately scientific-an op-
Grafton calculated not merely to give
guidance to naval planning with
out it we might spend enormous
sums on useless ships), but to widen
knowledge of the atom in all its
phases. 1t is worth remembering,
further, that members of the United
Nations Atomic Energy Commission
are expected to be invited to OBJ
serve the exneriment
One can draw up elaborate the
ories about the effects of atomic
explosions above the sea and under
it, but sound evaluation cannot be
had without actual physical tests.
To cancel these tests would be to
deny ourselves knowledge we must
have If we are ever to handle the
terrible problem of the atom with
full understanding of its true di-
mension. To cancel them for any
reason short of evidence that they
might be catastrophe in themselves
would be to keep our own country
and the world in the dark about
something that needs to be brought
into the light. To do that would be
to serve ignorance. Congress, it
must be assumed, will not go along
with the Huffman resolution.

jenkins Hill

Thousands of people pass Jenkins
Hill every day and are not aware
of the fact. OF course, they see the
pedestal waiting for a monument" :"
as Major Pierre Charles L'Enfant
called it. And they certainly are
not blind to the magnificent Struc-
ture which James Hoban, DR.. Will
liam Thornton, Benjamin H. Latrobe,
Charles Bulfinch, Thomas U. Walter,
David Lynn and other masters Of
architecture have raised and main
tanned since 1892 upon it's brow.
They know the Capitol when they
behold its lofty and graceful lines
against the morning or the evening
sky.
But concerning jenkins nothing
seems to have been saved. Per-
haps there is no reason why he
should be remembered. On the
other hand, it is possible that he
was an early worthy who did deserve
better fate than complete oblivion.
What was the rest of his name?
When was he born? During what
years did he reside near the site of
the structure which Washington and
Jefferson originally referred to as
"The Federal House? When did
he die? Where do his ashes rest?
All of these questions are valid to
ask-until they are answered, if,
indeed, it be feasible to answer them.
Possibly the records needed for an
adequate biography of Jenkins are
preserved in the Library of Congress
or in the Washingtoniana Division
of the Washington Public Library
Or they may be extant in private
hands. If so, there is a chance that
associated with them a wealth OF
even more consequential data re-
lating to the District of Columbia
nearby Maryland and Virginia might
be discovered. Modern lack of in
formation about the eighteenth CEN
tury owner or lessor of Capitol Hill is
symptomatic of a truth which not
everybody has appreciated-namely
that there are wide gaps in the
history of the Nation and of the
Colonies from which it developed
which ought to be filled.

National War Memorial

The national war memorial pro-
!; posed in the pending Pepper-Ran-
! dolph bill would be very fitting
, and, more Importantly, very prac-
! tical tribute to the men and women
/ who served in the armed forces dur
ing World Wars and II. The citi-
5ens' committee sponsoring this
project wisely agreed upon form
of memorial that would be useful
as we'll as beautiful. The measure
introduced by Senator Pepper of
| Florida and Representative Ran
dolph of West Virginia would pro-
vide for the erection, on site yet to
be chosen, of a great national audi
, torium, capable of seating mini
mum of 5000 persons 1t would be
known as the World Wars Memorial
Temple.
The proposal is particularly meri-
torious for the reason that the
temple would fill an acute need in
the Nations Capital. 1t amounts to
a national disgrace that Washing
ton, the seat of Government and the
national headquarters of many pub
lie and private organizations of
civic, patriotic and professional ma
ture, lacks a suitable meeting place
for large assemblages. Many previ
Gus movements to provide the city
with an adequate auditorium have
CONS to naught.
The proposed legislation affords
the people of America an oppor-
tunity to remedy shortcoming of
their Capital while honoring the
servicemen of two wars. The audi
torium and adjoining halls would
be available to veterans organiza-
tions as we'll as many other groups.
While the cost of construction and
maintenance would be undertaken
by the Federal Government, the
States and individuals would be in
vited to contribute. The temple
would be a lasting, living monument
to the courage and sacrifices of
those who answered their country's
call to e,duty in two supreme crises in
its history. VI

However, such times do come. II
one only will seek them. On such
occasions, nature itself may give the
cue. A few evenings ago lent itself
to such inward seeking; the night
was perfect with myriads of scintil-
lating stars in an azure sky How
easy it was, inviewing that wonderful
panorama, to vision God in His
Heaven, calling all mankind to praise
Him! Then came a humbling feel
ing of insignificance, in comparison
with immense distances and the
mighty suns Of the universe. How
could we, on the little speck of dust
we call the earth, be of any moment
to God? What is man that Thou
art mindful of him?"
The comforting thought echoed:
God even notes the sparrow's fall.
Fear ye not therefore, ye are OF more
value than many sparrows"
Yes, God is in His Heaven and all
is we'll"
But what and where is Heaven?
To be sure Jesus said: I'm my Fa-
theirs House there are many mansions"
and "the Kingdom of Heaven is with
in you" Jesus spoke mostly in para
bles and gave us no completely def
mite picture. No two people seem to
have the same conception of Heaven
~
"Oh We of little faith"-but we do
have faith. faith in God and faith in
His Plan. We feel that it Is not given
to man on this earth to know the
elimination of His Plan and we unite
whole heartedly with Job when he
said: Though He slay me, yet will
trust in Him.
Heavenly Father, am weak,
But Thou will strengthen NE;
If from my heart I humbly seek
For light and health from thee.

Then Father pity me;

1ors and members OF state legisla-
lures. Thus, the incoming regime
will be thoroughly "Peronista" from
every point of view.
The election seems to have been
fair" in the sense that voting was
free and unmanipulated under the
rigid supervision of the army. The
unfairness lay in the fact that the
state of siege" which prevailed
until shortly before the elections
prevented the opposition parties
from functioning properly while
giving many advantages to the
advocates Of Colonel Peron. How
ever, there can be no doubt that the
Peronista propaganda, directed at
the working classes. both urban and
rural, was highly effective. This Is
shown by the fact that the Commu-
mist and Socialist parties, which op-
posed him, have been showed under.
This means that the normally "radi-
cal" vote has gone almost entirely
to Colonel Peron, who has promised
sweeping economic and social re-
forms. If he lives up to his pre-elec-
ton pledges We may anticipate a
program reminiscent of Hitler's Ma
tional Socialism" when he came to
power, combining strident national
ism with an authoritarian brand of
socialism handed down from above.
How much of this program will be
actually realized. especially on the
Socialistic side, of course, remains to
be seen.
All this is. of course, highly dis
tasteful to us. but there seems to be
very little We can do about it. Last
Thursday, Spruille Braden, who, as
our Ambassador, stood up to Peron
and who is now Assistant Secretary
of State in charge of Latin American
affairs. told New York audience
that breaking diplomatic relations
with Argentina would be SILLY" and
that any attempt to impose sane
tions would be futile, because neither
Britain nor the rest of Latin America
would back us, nor would we want
to assume the responsibility for de-
priving starving Europe of the food
Argentina can supply. Peron's vic
tory thus leaves our diplomacy in
quandary which requires the most
skillful handling.
