measures against those who deny
respect for law and order, whether
they are japanese or Koreans The
government believes firmly that all
the people support this.
Further, this policy Of the gov

District Officials Work
On Report Of Ga||inger
Child Fire Hazards

Omcials OF the Fire Department
and the District building inspector
office today were drawing up a re.
port for the Senate Appropriations
Committee on possible FIRE hazard.
in the Crippled Children's Building
at Gallinger Hospital.
At the same time, DR.. Alvin R
Sweeney, Gallinger superintendent
indicated he would ask for an ap-
preparation of about $4,000 tc
partially fireproof" the old struc-
ture.
Deputy Fire Marshal Charles
Laschalt and LELAND Walker, of the
building inspectors Office. toured the
building late yesterday at the re-
quest of a Senate Appropriations
Committee staff member. Their re-
port probably will be made to-
morrow.
The committee staff member
Kimball Sanborn, said the lack OF
fireproofing came to his attention
during an inspection of the hospital
last week. He charged that the
children's building also is "inade-
quately stalled and generally run
down" He said he suggested tc
DR.. Sweeney that the children be
moved to a partially used surgical
ward on the fifth floor of the main
building.
We've had a feeling for a long
time that these children deserve a
little more than they are getting,
he declared. TT seems that chill
dren's wards would be easier to staff
than most other sections of the
hospital"
DR.. Sweeney said he was well
aware" Of the danger of fire in the
three-story children's building and
that, as result, only two floors
are being used to house the 80
patients in the 72-bed wards. How
ever, installation of fire doors and
hreprooflng Of stairWays should give
adequate protection, he said. The
hospital estimated this would cost
$4,000.
Il think this sum would be wisely
spent as safeguard" he said
even if this building is old and is
due to come down eventually"
DR.. Sweeney said he did not think
the main building surgical wards
would furnish enough space for the
children. Particularly lacking, he
said, would be library, a classroom
and occupational and physical
therapy facilities which exist in the
present building.
There is no doubt that the hos
pital is understaffed generally, the
superintendent said, but he added
that the childrens building has Its
full quota" in comparison with other
units of the hospital.

OF getting on the payroll of the new
Economic Cooperating Admins
tration.
It's different, Of course, If you
have the special skills that ECA
needs and the agency requests your
services. But both ECA and Civil
Service Commission officials say it's
very foolish for Government en-
ployes to leave the relative security
OF their jobs for a routine position
IN ECA.
ECA Is hiring very slowly, taking
great pains to select the most ef-
flcient personnel. Regarding Federal
employees who want to transfer to
ECA, offlcials give the following ad-
vice:
I'VE appreciate your interest, but
1t would be best to remain at your
present jobs, unless we specifically
need you. If We find we need GER
tain type Of personnel that must
be filled from the Government it
self, we will let 1t be known through
the Civil Service Commission"
CAPITAL ROUNDUP-The White
House has asked all Government
agency and department heads to
cooperate in the Crusade for
Children" which begins May II.
Federal employees will be asked to
contribute to the drive to aid the
children Of foreign lands, who are
In desperate need. The drive is
under the auspices of the American
Overseas Aid-United Nations Ap-
peal for Children, and is headed
by H. r. Baukhage. well-known
radio commentator. The Civil
Service Commission announces ex-
aminations for bacteriologists, biol
ogists, chemists. entomologists, my
cologistS. parasitologists and scroll
ogisrs. Starting salaries range from
$3,397 to $5,905 year. .. Also an
nounced by the commission are ex-

Allen has announced that he is
supporting the $468 and S585 pay
bills IS a pretty good indication that
the Republican leadership finally
will approve pay raise legislatio
It's fairly certain that Mr.. Allen
wouldn't have made this commit
ment If he knew his colleagues dis
approved of it. The pay amounts
approved by Mr. Allen are the ones
reported out several weeks ago by
the House Civil Service Committee.
IMPORTANT BILL-A Senate
Civil Service Subcommittee tenta-
lively has set tomorrow for the be-
ginning Of hearings on the bill to
give unemployment compensation
and severance pay benefits to Gov
ernment employees.
The measure is very important
one, and Government employees
groups are swinging their full sup
port behind 1t.
The bill was sponsored by Chair
man LANCER of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, who says he
will fight for it's enactment on the
ground that Federal employees de-
serve the same benefits enjoyed by
workers in private industry.
Heading the subcommittee is Sen
ator Flanders, Republican, of Ver-
mont. The two other subcommittee
members are Senator Baldwin, Re-
publican, of Vermont and Johnston,
Democrat, Of South Carolina.
NAVY'S PLANS-Although the
Navy Department, at the moment,
doesn't have plans for mass hirings
of civilian employees, it does expect
that a considerable number of job
openings will be available in the
next few months.
The department Is marking time
until the House Appropriations
Committee ana Congress act on its
l949 budget requests. incidentally
Congress is expected to give the
department every penny it asks.
While Navy'S expansion won't be
nearly as great as the Air Force
or even the Army Department in
the national defense program, Navy
officials say some additional help
will be needed here. They expect
there will be some scientific and
professional positions, as we'll as
clerical jobs opening up.

ARLINGTON FARMS Defense
Secretary Forrestal is putting plenty
OF pressure on Public Building Ad-
miniStration officials to make Ar
lington Farms available for the
girls being recruited by the Army
and Air Force Departments for the
defense program.
Arlington Farms had announced
1t was accepting no more applica-
tions for newcomers to its dormi-
tories. but has extended the dead
line temporarily, while PBA officials
ponder the problem.
Civil Service Commissioner Arthur
S. Flemming has joined with Mr..
Forrestal in asking that the ban be
rescinded. The Army has a des-
perate shortage Of stenographers
and typists and plans a Nation
wide recruitment program, if neces-
sary, to get girls to fill the jobs.
A. Heath Onthank, the Army De-
partment's very capable civilian
personnel director, put the depart
ment's dilemma this way: UNLESS
we can promise the parents of these
girls that their daughters will be
housed in proper quarters here, with
supervision by the Government, they
will be reluctant to have the girls
come to Washington"
That's why it's a good bet that
PBA officials will finally yield and
continue to make Arlington Farms
available to newcomers in Govern
ment jobs.

Proud Son Sees
Widowed Mother
In Cap and GOaUn

ITHACA, N. Y.-When the library
tower chimes at Cornell university
peeled forth their congratulations
to mid-year graduates, Jonathan
Hartwell Harwood III, aged 4, near
burst with pride.
Among the young women in aca-
demic robes was his mother, Vir-
ginia Oake Harwood. Few fellows
have the privilege of seeing their
mothers graduate from college.
Jonny doesn't know it, but he was
the chief reason why his mother
finished her course in the college
of home economics. Jonny's father
fought in the invasion of Normandy,
June 6, 1914; and he never came
back.
Jonny's dad graduated from Cor
nell, too-in 1912. And his mother,
whose parents live in Lockport,
N. Y, left school in her sophomore
year to marry him. They didn't
have much time together-just a
couple of summers while dad was
training at Fort Bragg. Then he
was sent to England to train as a
Ranger-and was made captain.
Then came D-Day. -
''People thought was crazy when
decided to take my two-and-one-
half-year-old son to Ithaca with me
in the fall Of 1945 and continue col
lege," Mrs. Harwood admits. May
be I was a little crazy. But I had
to have something to do-something
to occupy my time and my mind.
I could be better mother to JON
ny, felt, if / graduated from col
lege and was prepared to earn my
living"
The pension and insurance money
made it possible for them to rent
small Ithaca apartment and live
in modest comfort. And Jonny
went to Cornell, too. Jonny attend
ed the colleges nursery school. He
also will be graduated this year
from nursery school to kindergar-
ten.

Keeper Quits Post
As Feet Are Tired

TURKEY POINT, MD.-Because

last woman lighthouse keeper on
Chesapeake bay, has given up her
job.
Believed to be the only qualified
ightkeeper of her sex in the ma

had been the keeper for three years
before his death.

Farradays had ceased, partly be-
cause my mother disapproved of
Dora Farraday's new friends. Dora
had always been a sweet, docile
little thing, ambitious to get along.
Now she had given up business
school. She had even broken off her
engagement to Danny Wright. Dora
had a new beau now; one she'd met
through her crowd" Nobody liked
him, but he was rich and he gave
Dora a good time. He had weak,
handsome face and, loud Scoffing
laugh. I'd see them together as I
walked home from school, dashing
around town in his rakish car or
going into Vans Place for drinks.
People felt sorry for Danny Wright.
He'd been so crazy about Dora, and
always so glad to have Skippy and
Ellen around.
nORA'S new beau didn't like chill
~ dren. He objected to Skippy trail
ing her about. Skippy was six now,
very spoiled and rather nuisance;
but it seemed hardly fair to blame
Dora entirely for what happened at
the Elks' picnic that year. Everyone
Elks' picnic that year. Everyone
said, though, that 1T was Dora's
fault. She'd taken Skippy to the pic
mic, hadn't she? She should not have
gone off with that beau of hers,
