first step that Congress should take Is TO
overhaul the whole pay system, from top
to bottom, even though this readtustment
means larger raises for those In the higher
brackets. Then, II Congress feels that an
additional cost-of Living increase is ad-
visable, it should be applied at all levels.
1t would be most regrettable If the service
pay bill were to die In committee, through
an evident lack of understanding of Its
purposes on the part of many members.
To kill this measure would be to render
a disservice to every one in the armed
forces-including the enlisted men.
Evening star., 1949-05-26
Blow to Servicemen

The performance of the House IN re-
committing the armed services pay bill
was reminiscent of other occasions in the
past when similar legislation was up for
debate. Invariably the cry is raised for
"justice" for the enlisted man and against
benefits for what is called, diSparagingly,
"the brass" There has always been too
much emotion and too little attention to
facts in the consideration of service-pay
Iegislation-and Tuesdays debate was no
exception. Pay for men In the service
should be based on cold and calculated
study of the facts. The pay act OF 1908
was based on proper regard for the re-
uuirements and responsibilities of each
grade. The whole pay scale was low,
Judged by today's standards, but 1t was
considered adequate for the times, and it
graded pay upward in such way as to
provide incentive for advancement.
In the more than forty years since the
1908 pay schedule was adopted Congress
has made so many changes In 1t that
today 1t is patchwork hodge-podge bear
ing little resemblance to the balanced
original. And all of the major alterations
have been made In the lower grades. The
HOOK COnlltlSSlOIl, W1l1ClA ceuSACo oAAS cSA
ice-pay situation, was amazed at some
of the disparities which have developed.
For example, pay of recruits has been in
creased 400 per cent since 1908, whereas
that of the generals and admirals has gone
up only 10 per cent. Longevity benefits
have further distorted the framework.
Some generals receive no more pay than
their lieutenant colonels. And lieutenant
colonel who, because of thirty years serv-
ice, gets the pay of brigadier general
without assuming general officers re-
sponsibilities has little incentive to seek
higher rank.
The pay bill rejected by the House was
not Matched up by the generals and adj
mirals at the Pentagon. 1t was based on
recommendations of the all-civilian Hook
Commission. The bill provided larger in
creases for the higher ranks for the simple
reason that this is the only way that the
nav structure can ever be brought back
into balance. The problem with respect
10 nay for the uniformed forces Is similar
70 that respecting the civil service. Tha

Those LeoffIer Contracts

For q good many years onc1als OF the
Interior Departments Park Service have
taken q holier- -than-thou attitude toward
the sanctity of their contracts with the
public golf course operator, 8. g. Leofner.
They have scoffed at criticism from
mere taxpayers They have held out that
MIR. Leof11er, in reality, Is public bene-
factor and that in any other hands than
his the golf courses would 60 to pot. They
have evidently promised Mr.. Leoffier many
things, provided he would continue to
touch with his magic the operation Of the
golf courses.
80 1t is difhcult to work up much SYM
pathy now for these Park Service officials
or to shed genuine tears over their red
faces An able House committee, insisting
on what seems to have been the first real
audit of the golf course deals since they
began, has shown pretty clearly that the
Park Service has been slovenly and care
less, to say the least. in its public-be-
damned policy. Mr.. Leoffler, meanwhile,
seems not to have done so badly. WASH
ington's public golfers have added many
dollars to his profits that should have been
turned back, under another arrangement,
into improvement of the courses And the
Park Services shrewd bargains seem to
have left the Government indebted to Mr..
Leoffier.
Representatives Rivers Of South Caro-
lima, Poulson of California and Redden of
North Carolina have rendered a public
service in ferreting out some OF the highly
Interesting details of the Leoffler contracts.
It is to be hoped that they will not stop
now. The public should be given the
identity of the Park Service individuals
who drew up these contracts and the real
reason behind the stubborn refusal Of the
Park Service to turn the public courses
over to operation in the public interest by
the District Recreation Board, as should
have been done long ago. tsssypc5Na
The Investigators should not stop there.
Let them find out about the operation of
other public recreational facilities In Wash
tngton under other contracts from the Park
Service to Government Services 1ue. Why
has the Park Service preTented full reaHI
ssation OF the broad program OF public
recreation in the District which led Con-
gress to create the District Recreation
Board?
The real explanation may be that the
Park Service Is tight little bureaucracy
that is unwilling to let 60 single thing 1t
controls, and that 1t is childishly jealous
OF the District Recreation Board. If the
Park Service attempts to inject the race
issue as Justification for its own dictator
ial methods, let that be examined, too, in
all its details. It may be found that this
excuse, as matter of cold fact, is as full
of holes as previous, impassioned defense
of the smelly Leoff1er contracts. What
ever the explanation may be, 1t needs as
thorough looking into as the Public Lands
Subcommittee of the House has begun In
the case of the Leof1er contracts.

Trocina Fother Marquette

Four young Rover Scouts from France
have arrived In Canada with the intention
Of tracing the voyages and journeys Of
Father Jacques Marquette, the famous
Jesuit missionary who nearly three hundred
years ago explored the Mississippi drainage
system southwark to the mouth OF the
Arkansas. These lads, welcomed by Amer
lean as well IS Dominion youth organiza-
lions, will travel in modern counterparts OF
the birchbark craft used by the seventeenth
century pioneer OF course, they will not
see the country as he saw 1t. Yet at the end
they are certain to have impressions of his
experiences that could not be obtained
merely by reading.
Their celebrated exemplar landed at
Quebec on September 20. 1866. For two
years thereafter he studied Indian Ian
guages at Three Rivers. Then he was ap-
pointed to minister to the Ottawas, In
1871 he founded religious outpost on the
north shore Of the Straits of Mackinac. To
this settlement on December 8, 1872. came
Louis Joliet, fur trader who had been
commissioned to find "the great river of
which the Illinois had spoken" Father
Marquette, he explained, was to be his
companion. The missionary received the
news with delight. Weeks of preparation
followed. It was not until May of 1873
that the little party-seven members in all
could start. The route as 1t developed
led to Green Bay and Fox River, next by
portage to the Wisconsin, finally to the top
branches Of the Father of Waters
Father Marquettes theory at the begin
ming was that the Mississippi eventually
emptied into the Pacific. When at last he
learned that 1t actually reached the Gulf
Of Mexico instead, his purpose was accom-
plished. He had joined his name to that
of fernando de Soto. Returning to the
lakes region, he visited the site of Chicago
and ended his 2,500-mile trip on Green
Bay late IN September, 1878. His health,
never robust broke down and he died en-
route to st. Ignace, May Is, 1878. The boys
from France who are to retrace his path
are but the latest group to do him honor.
He Is commemorated in cities, counties,
river, a university. railroad, q statue
in the Capitol here in Washington and,
perhaps best, in his journal, first published
In 1851.
Maybe one day some Boy Scouts OF this
area may think 1t worthwhile to try to
follow the voyages and journeys of Captain
John Smith, who was, in a sense, the
Marquette OF the Potomac.

Mr.. jones and the CSC

The Civil Service Commissions state
ment on events leading to the dismissal
of Roy James, Army programming spe-
cialist is not as reassuring as one might
have hoped it would be. The commission
denies that it submitted to political pres
sure in disqualifying Mr.. James after Rep
resentative Walter Of Pennsylvania, DEM
ocratic patronage chief in the House, had
questioned the career employees fitness for
his job. Mr.. Walter says he objected to
Mr. James holding such good job in view
of the fact that he is Republican and
campaigned against President Truman
(He also campaigned - unsuccessfully -
against Mr. Walter for his House seat)
AS the commission explains 1t, Mr..
Walters inquiry" as to Mr.. James quail
f1cations merely started postaudit proceed
ings which led to the discovery that Mr..
James lacked most of the qualifications
for q programming specialist. While 1t
was proper, of course, for the commission
to make this investigation upon Mr..
Walters request, the fact remains that
Mr.. James was singled out among six
employees for this postaudit checkup.
Army officials testified yesterday that five
others in Mr.. James Office who are doing
similar work have not been checked on.
Mr.. James was highly praised by Army
officials at the hearing, who called him
"eminently qualified" for his duties. The
commission says that the duties Of an
Army programming specialist include the
following: Incumbent serves as spe-
cialist in the programming of all industrial
items destined for occupied areas and
certain foods and agriculture items pro-
cured with ECA funds. Is responsible for
the analysis and evaluation OF programs
based on careful consideration Of such
surrounding aspects as practicability OF
source country, specifications. quantita-
tive availability. effect on world markets
and domestic economy. export quotas,
trade balances means Of financing, and
compliance with latest policies and regu-
lations."
Somehow, despite his alleged lack of
qualifications, Mr.. James managed TO
! measure up. In the eyes Of his superiors.
