Mr.. Hoover Prods a Sore Point

The pending bill TO reorganize the Federal
system of personnel recruitment and to effect
other civil service reforms is a good one as far
as it goes But lot of people will agree with
Herbert Hoover that it should go farther.
Mr. Hoover, in a message to the Senate Post
Office and Civil Service Committee, which is
holding hearings on the measure, urged an
amendment that would remove postmasterships
from the field of political patronage. The former
President and chairman of the Commission on
Organization of the Executive Branch OF the
Government was touching sensitive senatorial
spot when he revived this proposal key recon-
mendation of the Hoover Commission. The
Senate mas shown no eagerness to abandon Its
traditional prerogative of passing on postmaster
appointments The privilege in effect involves
selection of postmasters for political reasons.
The Hoover Commission argued that there is
no room for politics in the big business of running
the Post Office Departments business which,
incidentally, is running $500 million in the RED
every year. But up to now Congress has seen
fit to ignore this particular recommendation OF
the Hoover report. Mr.. Hoover is justified in
refusing to let the issue die, however. There Is
no more excuse for permitting political factors
to control appointments to postal jobs than to
inject patronage in civil service recruitment
generally.

What does one look at on the way
downtown?
There is one old-time Washingtonian
who spends his time spotting electric
fans at windows.
The sale and use of these interesting
inventions (many Of us forget that they
are interesting and still quite novel;
has increased tremendously in recent
years.
Stuffy attics and bedrooms with lay
ers of heat in them much like blankets,
have known breezes for the first time
in years.
If these air movements are caused
electrically, instead of naturally, the hot
rooms do not know the difference.
The end result is much the same.
This watcher has found, however. but
four fans in all the length Of Connecti-
cut avenue.
No doubt there are more, but one
cannot spot everything all at once.
Some Of the fans are the lazy moving
type, whirring around carelessly; others
of the speedy high-velocity sort.
This count did not take into consid-
Grafton the installations at windows
utilizing both cooling mechanisns and
fans.
The electric fans are not too old, and
only with the increase in humidity have
come into general use.
There are thousands Of homes where

Bonds for Defense

The Importance which the Treasury attaches
to the current defense bond drive-biggeSt since
World War Ills evident from the lineup of first
day speakers. Included were President Truman,
Defense Secretary Marshall and Treasury Secre-
tary Snyder All of them emphasized the gravity
of the world situation, the high cost of achieving
q reasonable degree of security and the need for
wholehearted support of the defense effort by
every citizen. The same theme was used during
the late war, but it would be mistake to brush
it aside with an Ive-heard-that-before attitude
True it is old stuff but it is just vital today as
it was when the Axis powers were riding high.
We have small war on our hands in Korea
and great war, perhaps the worst of all time,
is a possibility against which we and our Allies
must arm ourselves. AS the President succmctly
put it in his radio speech, arming for defense
"costs money" Defense bonds offer the citizen
an excellent way to help, personally in the build
ing of a strong defense, while accumulating
thrifty savings for his own future comfort and
security At the same time he will be striking
a blow against an intangible but formidable
enemy of the defense REORGANIZATION. Here
is chance for every citizen to become an active
partner in the Nations stand against Red

This and That

no one dares to go upstairs until II
or IL o'clock at night.
With a fan, they might retire at Q
o'clock, if they chose. So it may be
realized that electric fan manufacture
ers and retailers still have much work
to do.
Heard of a family recently that woke
up one hot night to find the electric fan
on fire.
This does not happen often, and
probably only in very old specimens.
We have one. purchased in 1918, and
it has never acted in that way.
One thing, fans are not run except in
hot weather, and fortunately this sum-
mer we have had alternating periods
of comparatively cool weather.
There is nothing more useless, per-
haps, than an electric fan after the
weather cools OF.
Down in the COS, and people forget
about their air coolers and fans.
Some attempts have been made to
hitch up a heating device with fans,
especially the hassock type. so that they
can be used in winter. A very good
idea.
Another local resident spends his time
going downtown looking for dogs;
He has good eye for them. spotting
them up side streets for block.
Often he wants to stick his head out
and shout u warning to some simple
