THAT, YOU may remember,
was when Herr Rankin and his
gentle playmates demanded that
we give up lists of all Spanish
Republicans the Joint Anti-Fas-
cist Refugee Committee had
helped so that these gallant
Spaniards, who had fought so
long and so bravely for liberty,
could face the possibility of being
turned over to the gas chambers
and the torture squads. And when
the executive board of the COM
mittee refused to produce those
lists, we were given that badge
of distinction which sooner or
later every decent American
must aspire to = a citation for
contempt of the Wood Rankin
Committee.
The latest call from this I'M
distinguished committee, how
ever, concerned a little book I
had written, one called The In
credible Tito. This time, the WR
Committee chose the young col
lege graduate type to serve the
subpoena, and he walked into the
house without even ringing or
knocking. He smiled sheepishly
when he served the paper, and
he looked SO damned foolish that
/ didn't have the heart to say
some of the things that were on
my tongue-such as certain
more or less obsolete provisions
in the Constitution of the USA
concerning illegal entry. Instead,
I contented myself with remark

you're working for down there?"

smiling sheepishly. But a buck

PUG Calls Area Conference

To study the possibility of estab-

the District Public Utilities Com
mission has called a joint conference
Of regulatory bodies in the Metropoli-

in the District Building.
James H. Flanagan, PUG chair
man, said he had extended invita-
tions to officials in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, Md; Ar
lington County and Alexandria, Va.
In his letter. Mr.. Flanagan said,
There is at present no regulation
of taxicab rates for trips from one
jurisdiction to another in the Met
ropiltan Area.
There is a lack of uniformity in
rates charged for the same distance
travelled, even among taxicab op-
orators in the same jurisdiction.
The absence of such regulation has
resulted in some abuses and appar-
ent overcharges. The differences in
Ates charged tends to create misun-
derstandings between drivers and
passengers, and results in COM

Within-District Fares

AT BIC Token Rate

The Public Utilities Commission
today ordered the Washington, Marl-
boro and Annapolis Motor Lines,
Inc, to charge a token fare of ga
cents instead of 10, for within the
District rides on its express routes
operating between the District and
nearby Maryland. The order be-
; comes effective September 30.
The action, eliminating more than
a years investigation by the PUG,
affects lines operating between the
firms Washington terminal at 403
Eleventh street NV, and Seat
Pleasant, Forestville and Silver
Hill, Md
!. The w. NJ & A. company has
been charging Sls cents token fare
or 10 cents cash on two other So
called local lines between the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland points.
The PUG order specified that
token fares for the express routes
shall be sold at the rate of three
for 81 cents or multiples thereof
The reduction, which grew out of
complaints of numerous citizens in
the areas served by the bus COM
pany, will allow an estimated profit
of more than II per cent, the PUG
pointed out.
Establishment of the 81s cent
token rate on the express lines
will remove the major reason for
such complaints, the PUG held,
and at the same time will provide
Just and reasonable rates for trans
portation service within the District

munity planner and Navy veteran,

tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, it was announced to-
day. Commission members met Mr..

pacity can readily see what years
of orderly planning have done for
the city.
Mr.. Johnston took over the job of
working out details for the long

sponsibility.
With IVA he helped smaller
communities such as Bristol, Tenn

derly growth, but Washington is
something else again, he said. Not
only is it one of the most beautiful
cities in the world" he added, "but
also it gives evidence of what care
full development means. It's a testi-
monial to the science of city plan
ming"

Reduction in Force
Revives Argument on
WHO Should Go First
Star Staff Photo.

The Governments reduction-in-
force program has revived a long
standing argument-whether an
employe with an agency 10 years
should be dismissed while the man
at the next desk who has been with
the same agency only a short time
but has longer Government service
is retained.
Both the War and the Navy De-
partments, with big staff cuts under
way, conceded today that some old
employees are being fired while COM
paratlvely recent employees hold
their jobs.
Regulation Cited.
Neither agency could estimate
how widespread this practice was,
but both pointed to the civil service
regulations providing that retention
IN a job was based on length of
service in the Government rather
than in an agency.
Employees who have been with an
agency for 10 years and now are be-
ing let out complain bitterly that
other employees, who transferred
from another agency during the war
and are being retained could 90
back to their old Government Jobs.
While this is possible. the Civil
Service Commission points out that
these new former jobs may no long
er exist. Some veterans already
have found that Government Jobs
they held before the war have been
abolished. Jobs have been changed
and whole sections wiped out, the
Civil Service Commission said. As
a result, their wartime jobs NAV
be the only one these employees
have.
A Navy Department personnel Of
f1cial pointed out that the old en-
ployes giving way to newer en-
ployes with longer Government sery-
ice were not the only old employees
hit by the reduction in force.
Different Levels.
This official said some engineers
who had been with the Navy 20
years were being fired while clerks
who had been with the Navy cnIy
few weeks were retained. This
comes about because they are on
different competitive levels. The en-
glneers who worked their way I'D
to high ratings over a period of
years simply are not in competition
with those on lower levels. If the
Navy needs fewer engineers. some
OF the old employees have to 60, the
Navy official said.
Under civil service regulations, re-
tention credits are computed by al
lowing one point for each full year
of Government service. In addi-
ton, five points are given for an
excellent" efficiency rating, but 10
points are awarded for any other
efficiency rating. These regulations
give less weight to efficiency ratings
and greater weight to length of
service-regardless of whether the
employe sat at the same desk for
10 years or served in two different
agencies.
