on the Civil Service Commission
This resolution is being presented
to the AFL convention in San Fran
cisco by the AFL Government EN-
ployes Council, which claims to rep
resent nearly 100000 Federal work.
ers. including postal employees.
The council is friendly toward the
present Civil Service Commissioners
but it feels that In the future one
of the members should be an AFI
man. There should be at least one
member of the commission with q
labor background so that he can
understand employees problems" one
Official said.
One thing Is certain. The indie
pendent National Federation of Fed
eral Employees and the CLIO United
Public Workers Of America will look
coldly on the proposal that an AL
man be given preference.
LOYALTY DILEMMA - Civil
Service Commission officials In
charge of the loyalty investigation
program have come up against a
knotty problem.
They don't know exactly how to
proceed in determining the loyalty
Of the more than 10000 Government
workers in the vitality strategic
Panama Canal Zone who are Pana-
manaan citizens.
Presumably these employees can
not be expected to hold greater al
legiance to the Unitd States than to
their own country. But Federal Of
f1cials want to make sure none of
the workers has Communist or
other subversive sympathies.
These officials believe the Gov
eminent must get rid of any en-
ploye in the zone who is friendly
with or gives aid to any country
other than to the United States and
Panama. But a different method
from that must be developed to de-
termine their loyalty" The method
has yet to be worked out and it
won't be easy.
SWIFT ECONOMY - At the
Budget Bureau they tell the story
of the Government efficiency expert
who was assigned to an agency to
improve its efficiency and cut Its
expenses.
The expert walked into a small
office where two men were seated at
desks. He asked the first one what
he did.
mot a darn thing" replied the
man.
what do you do?" the efficiency
expert asked the second man.
Not q darn thing, either" can
didly replied the other.
! "Aha!" cried the efficiency expert
triumphantly. "Duplication!"
ETIQUETTE-A War Department
typist who had received her reduc-
notice and was spend
ing her last day on the job, was
noticed by her co-workers avidly
reading a copy Of Emily Posts Book
on Etiquette.
Whats the big idea1" she WAS
asked.
"oh, I've got myself . new job at
the State Department starting to-
morrow" she said. And you know
how things are over there!"
Il
MAGICIAN-An Interior Depart
ment official Is wondering. II one of
his friends in Chicago has read 4
or mingled with people
during the last six or seven years.
The friend Is employed by Int
rior's Fish and Wildlife Service,
which is returning here shortly from
Chicago. He wrote the ofncial =
letter which read in part: -
please find us a house to rent In
Washington. We're not particular,
a house with three bedrooms will do
and I'm willing to pay up to SIS q
month rent. Also we would like q
large front and back yard for the
children"
II guess he's been living in an
ivory tower In Chicago" quipped the
oficial when he showed the letter to

Texas City Is Not Asking Help
But Donations Are Welcomed

They are as valueless as the body OF
an automobile after a major colli-
sion. They are owned by their re-
cent occupants. The owners had
fire insurance policies but most of
these policies do not cover destruc-
ton from blast and explosion.
Ralph B. Pittman, president of the
Washington Chapter Of the Texas
State Society, last night thanked
Washington citizens for their aid
so far in speeding relief to the
stricken city. About TOO members
Of the society will be urged to con-
tribute money for further relief
measures at a dinner tomorrow
night at the Interior Department
cafeteria, he said.
"I wish to take this opportunity,
Mr.. Pittman said in a statement, ito
thank all Washingtonians for their
cooperation and contributions in
bringing relief to this blast torn
city.
1.-THE people of Texas City don't
want your help-any more than the
fellow who loses his pay envelope
wants his fellow workers to dig In
for him. They are willing to take
| the rap of the destruction of their
property. But a little sharing from
all over would help them lot

But he. ,oilling to Justify himselt,
said unto Jesus,
And lUho is my neighbor?
In answer Christ told how a man
from distant Samaria helped Je-
rusalemite who had been stripped
of his raiment, wounded and left
half dead in Jericho.
Having flown back from Texas
City in six hours, I have no doubt
that the victims of the disaster there
are our neighbors.
The Star is accepting and ac-
knowlsdging contributions to aid
them. Checks may be made payable
to the American Red Cross or to
Carl Nessler, chairman, Texas City
Relief Committee. I saw enough of
the men who took the leadership
work to realize their caliber. Funds
entrusted to them will be well
handled.
AS far as money goes. It's simple.
It's as though someone at the office
loses his money on pay day. Some
body takes up a collection and the
amount is raised without anybody
being hurt. Enough money can be
raised around the country by con-
tributions to rebuild the shattered
homes of Texas City. The wounded
are being given modern medical
care. Only the loss of life is irre-
parable. >,
Victims Are Typical Texans
I have been asked several times
since got back what kind of people
live in Texas City. They are typi-
cal Texas people. Most of them
moved only recently into this re-
Gently expanded little city. They
are from other Texas communities
and Texas farms. Many of the
dead were members of the newly
constructed Baptist and Methodist
churches About Is per cent of the
dead were Mexicans. About 5 per
cent were Negroes.
Part of the tragedy was that
everything in Texas City was SC
new. Texas City was an oil port
before the war. During the war
with the construction of the big
Monsanto Chemical plant, Texas
City became a community with a
big payroll
Construction materials all had te
go to war ndustries-there was none
for homes except the Government
projects. That is why Texas City
was so new.
All the houses were white cot
tages, many of them sheathed with
white asbestos shingles. They were
built since the war. The city is or
perfectly level ground and the lay
out Is gridiron of rectangular
blocks. From the air it looks ex-
actly like the community 3 child
builds with cutout houses on green
cardboard base. The population was
Is, 900.
Many of the houses are shattered
