Civil Service Loses a Friend

The Federal Government is losing an out
standing career official with the retirement of
Carson Hathaway, veteran information chief of
the Civil Service Commission. Although Mr.
Hathaways job brought him into contact with
such agencies of publicity as press, radio and
television, he shrank from personal publicity
If his name is less well known to the public
than some other civil servants it cannot be
said that his service to the Government was
less distinguished than that of many workers
more in the public eye.
Mr.. Hathaways place will be hard to fill,
for the simple reason that he was probably
better informed on civil service history law and
regulations than any other person in or out of
the Government Since 1918, when he joined
the commission after serving in the Army during
World War I, he had made 1t his business to be
a walking encyclopedia of information about
civil service. In conveying this information to
the public he left no doubt In the minds of the
receivers as to his sincere faith in the principles
of the merit system of selecting Federal workers.
It is no exaggeration to say that the strength
Of that system today is due in no small part
to the unfiaggng support it has received from
such friends as Mr.. Hathaway.

one or more, even for little time, since
this bird is both beautiful and helpful.
One popularity is that it does not
sing much in spring. when other birds
do. but saves its vocal abilities for July
and August, when the others tend to
dry up their songs.
The purple finch, the rosy fellow, is
relative of the bunting.
Finches make up the largest family of
birds, with some 1900 species all over
the world, except, we believe, in Aus
tralia, that queer land where almost
anything may happen or not happen in
the animal and bird line.
They includes some of our best and
most beloved species. Most of them are
seed eaters, but all take insects, too.
They are the great weed seed eaters, able
and willing to consume tons and tons
of seed.
All the 10 species of native sparrows
which come to Washington and vicinity
are finches.
1t may be realized that, just as one
does not have to be poet to see the
indigo bunting. and to have it in ones
yard, most of us have been seeing finches
for our whole lives and not realizing
that we were looking at representatives
of the greatest bird family, all the time.
We do not have to be poets. or even
admirers of poets. to respect and ad-
mire the birds. and to love them for their
beauty, their wisdom and their help.

Fortunately the rest of us do not have

These marvellous birds favor most
suburban gardens from time to time.
They are not exactly rare, yet do not
come too often.
Months, even years will go by. before
one sees this bird, perhaps.
Then there will be a pair on the
driveway some afternoon.

In color the male is cerulean blue,
changing to blush green in certain
lights.
The bird is about 534 inches long.
The female is olive-bro on the back,
dull white underneath.
It may be seen that she is no beauty.
as her mate is.
Sometimes she is overlooked, being
called sparrow, if seen at all.
When the pair stick together, even
the most casual observer will realize at
last they are related.
It would almost seem as If the male
indigo bunting were proud of his fine
feathers, for he is right out in the open
most of the time.

candidate possibility. Certainly no one
who watched and listened to the pro-

Acheson for bis parliamentary excel

work, already hewn by Mr.. Dulles

the last session, when Russia and her

clear, emphatic statements that re-
assured the representatives from the rest
Of the world Of the honorable intent of
the United States.
Since that time his scattered pub
lished statements have confirmed my
view that here is man of international
experience whose concept of diplomacy
embodies two very simple qualities-the
truth and firm assertion of that truth.

Lots of Other Princes

Edward Boykin, in his article in The
Star for October 81. errs when he states
that Albert Edward Prince of Wales
0ater King Edward VID, was "the first
-and-blood prince ever to set foot
on the soil of the United States"
In the 80 years preceding the Princes
visit in 1860. European royalty was
virtually romping all over the country.
and. SO far as I know, they were all
"flesh-and- d-blood" princes. The first was
Prince William Henry. subsequently
Duke of Clarence, and drom 1880 to
1880 King of Great Britain as Will
liam w. To be sure, his visit was not
exactly friendly one, for he came dur
ing the closing days of the revolution
as a midshipman in the navy Of his
father, George III. He arrived in New
York (Which had remained in British
hands during the war; on September 26,
1871. Except for occasional cruises, he
remained there for year or more. The
published writings of Washington re-
veal that Col. Matthias Ogden of New
Jersey conceived scheme for capturing
Prince William Henry and the British
Admiral Digby. but If the attempt was
made, 1t proved unsuccessful.
In 1877 three French princes. the Duke
of Orleans (afterward King Louis
Philippe) and his brothers, the Duke of
Montpensier and the Count of Beau
jolais. settled in Philadelphia, having
fed from the revolution In their own
country. In the course of the next three
years they Travelled extensively about
the United States.
Then there was Bonaparte prince
If not prince by birth at least one by
the grace of God and his brother Napo-
leon. In 1915 Joseph Bonaparte, ex-
King of Naples and Spain, fed from
France to the United States and lived
for time in Philadelphia and Borden
town, N. j. s- ..-. .
From 1882 to 1894. Prince Maximilian
of Wied, whose father was a sovereign
Prince of the Holy Roman Empire,
travelled from the Mississippi Valley UP
to the Rocky Mountains.
These are few of the princes who
preceded Albert Edwards visit in 1860.

The basic purpose is to explain to a

put him in uniform, why he may have

Presumably, everybody knows the an

Presumably any one old enough to
