Disaster Dollars
Needed to Help
Flood Sufferers

"Give a Disaster Dollar to Meet
Human Needs"
This is the new slogan the Red
Cross is using to raise funds fol-
Midwest flood sufferers.
It was suggested by Mrs. Amelia
M. McKenna, a Brooklyn house
wife, in letter to President Tru-
man. Mrs. McKenna recalled hel
experience as a child in Missis-
sippi when a broken levee wiped
out a town to her horror and dis
belief"
Today the District Red Cross
had on hand a total of $28.871 .93
to send to the stricken area fol
homes, clothing and food.
The chapter hopes to collect
$68, 400 as it's share of a $5 million
goal. Contributions may be sent
to the chapter Office, 1903 E street

fact that they appear in the sky
in about the same location as the
consolation Perseus, but astron-
omers pointed out they have no
other connection with Perseus.
Astronomers were cautious
about estimating how long the
Perseids have been appearing.
Records on the Perseids have
been kept for the last 100 years.
The Perseids are comparatively
small and appear almost like
grains Of sand. Their brief bril-
lance is due to the rapidity with
which they burn.
The meteors shower the sky
for about five days, but they are
at their best around midnight,
when they can be seen in the
eastern sky. Saturday and Sum-
day midnight will be the best
time to watch, because they are
expected to be more numerous
then.
But they can be seen plainly
tonight and tomorrow night, the
astronomers added.

August's shooting stars" -
the PerSeid meteors-have been
coming around in the middle of
August, at least, for as long as
astronomers have been watch
ing the skies.
But nobody knows exactly
where they come from.
Astronomers theorize that they
are leftover particles from a
long-dead comet. That, Naval
Observatory astronomers said,
is where other meteors come
from, and it's safe to assume
that the Perseids have the same
origin.
The earth's orbit and that Of
the Perseids meet annually in
the middle of August. When
the meteorS hit the earth's
atmosphere they burn brightly,
causing the shooting star" ef-

They're moving some 40 miles

upper air, and the friction causes
them to burn.

CSC Orders Agencies
To Halt Dual Pension
Retirement Practices

The Civil Service Commission
today cracked down on Govern
Iment employees who have connived
Ito draw benefits from both the
civil service retirement system and
social security.
Chairman Robert Ramspeck of
the commission disclosed a situa-
ton whereby employees have exer-
lcised their optional retirement
rights at 60 or 81, and then have
been Immediately rehired at the
same job in their agency.
The rehiring after their official
retirement" places them in the
category of temporary employees
who are eligible for social secur-
Iity benefits, since all Federal
workers hired during the national
emergency are given social secur-
lity coverage instead of civil serv-
ice retirement.
Consequently, Mr.. Ramspeck
said, these employees not only are
drawing full civil service retire
ment benefits. but when they
reach the age of IS they will also
get social security payments.
Such dual pension coverage is
contrary to the intent and pur-
poses of the civil service retire
ment and social security systems, -
Mr.. Ramspeck declared.
The commission chief ordered
all departments and agencies to
end such practices Immediately.
Mr.. Ramspeck said that al
though only four or five such
cases have turned up, he was
anxious that such practices be
avoided n the future.

II. S. Seeks Ticket
For Business Use
If Token Is Ended

A green light for Capital Transit
to discontinue tokens would be a
virtual stop signal for use of the
common carrier by Government
employees travelling on business,
unless a special ticket is issued.
This was the word from Roland
M. Brennan. District purchasing
officer who asked the Public Utili-
ties Commission for special issue
of strip tickets in event tokens are
discarded.
Many employees of the various
city departments-and many in
the Federal Government - use
streetcars and buses in performing
their daily work. Tokens cost the
District over $4,000 during the
last fiscal year, Mr.. Brennan said.
IF tokens are eliminated and
the 15-cent straight fare is ap-
proved, I do not believe it would
be feasible to distribute cash for
this purpose" he said. "In fact,
1T may not be legal to do so under
our present statutes"

An Air Force major stationed
at the Pentagon, older brother of
one of West Points brightest foot
ball stars. today lashed at critics
of the United States Military
Academy's varsity athletic policy
now spotlighted by the cribbing
scandal.
When Col. (EarD Blaik is ac-
-cused of Turing football players

gard for their academic qualifica-
tions it is the most vicious kind
of distortion" Mai. Ben Filipski
OF Fairlee, Va. charged.
The officer, a former University
of Tampa football player before
joining the Air Force as a bonn
bardier- navigator in 1910, volun-
teered to trace the circumstances
leading up to Cadet Eugene C.
Filipski's appointment to West
Point and his subsequent status
as one of the Army players in
volved in the current investiga-
ton.
'I regard Gene as typical of
those football players who find
themselves in this regrettable
trouble" Maj. Filipski said. per-

Pappy Waldorf" commented Mai.
Filipski. "Next to Col. Blaik, he's
tops with Gene and myself. I'd
say they're on a par.
Attends Little School,"
"Gene went to West Point. re-
porting in May. 1949, to attend
that Little School over which
Army's football critics have been
making such fuss" Maj. Flip
ski went on. There is nothing
contrary to the NCAA code in
running that school. It cost the
taxpayers nothing. Civilian in
structors taught those boys and
civilian funds paid for the in
struction. The fact that Gene,
with a consistent B average in
high school, had to attend is
positive proof that West Points
academic standards are the high
est.
Prior to Genes departure, Col.
Blaik wrote to Mr.. E. w. Kenna,
superintendent of schools at Sac
ramento, on April 2. He said in
part: Tt is now time to make ar
rangements for Eugene Filipski to
come east in order to enter the
special preparatory class which
starts May at West Point. AS
explained to you in January,
this work is extremely vital as far
as Gene is concerned, and though
it does mean missing very
pleasant part of his senior year
hope that it will be possible for
Gene to come east to attend this
class.
"'I will guarantee that the
youngster will be working in an
academic way 10 to IL hours a
day ,"
Warned on Hitting Books"
Two letters from Col. Blaik to
Gene, one dated January 10, 1949,
and the other April 2. 1949, warned
the young athlete that he would
be expected to chit the books"
There is no expense involved
in attending this school," Col
Blaik wrote, in part. "and no need
for clothes other than those that
you have been wearing at Grant
High. There is the necessity
however, of your paying your own
fare across the country, but in
your case by that time you will
have some type Of an appoint

Filipski had announced his in

"Gene and I talked over the
