Purge by Fire

1t is gratifying to learn from c. Melvin
Sharpe president of the Board of Education,
that the coded missionaries secretly distributed
by representatives of the board to some subordi-
nate school officials, soliciting their supposedly
anonymous appraisals of the Superintendent Of
Schools, have been appropriately disposed OF
Those returned to the board have been burned,
after the answers were noted. No others are
wanted This seems to be at least partial If
only tacit reputation by the board of a deplor-
able affair
1t is now suggested that the insurance
policies peddled to school personnel by board
vice president Adelbert w. Lee, chairman of the
Personnel Committee also be burned-not, how
ever until they have been turned back to Mr. Lee
In return for the premiums he has collected from
school personnel while sitting as a member of
the Board of Education.
This purge by fire should have salutary
effect upon the school system as whole Once
1t is accomplished, all board members, regardless
OF their attitudes toward DR.. Corning, should be
able more thoroughly to enjoy the relative peace
and good will of the Christmas season The Star
hopes that Dr. Corning will also enjoy his own
Christmas, while patiently awaiting the pleasure
OF the Board of Education in holding its post
poned meeting, at which decision eventually will
be reached-"after the holidays"-w whether to
chop off his head.

They contain much good protein and
a fair share of minerals and vitamins.
They, too, are to be cooked SO that
they do not look greasy. AZ
Probably one reason they are not
more used than they are is that so many
homes have too elaborate meals. -
Now both fried mush and black-eyed
peas are what might be called mono
diet meals.
Strawberry shorteake ought to be, too,
but when we recall whopping real short
cakes, topped with real cream, that
used to end the Sunday dinners Of our
youth, 1t almost makes one shrink at
the memory.
Such a slice Of shortcake, filling an
entire dinner plate, not just saucer,
must have contained at least 5000 cal
ories all by itself, full days rations for

A Life soved

Recently there have been many tales
Of physicians who would not answer the
call. public vehicles that would not
respond because Of boundary differences,
etc. This Is different.
On December 10 my father suffered
q heart attack at midnight. Frantic
calls to his doctor and to the fire de-
partment were made. Within minutes
an Emergency Hospital ambulance and
two doctors were on hand, delivering
oxygen and injections that miraculously
saved his life.
Some credit, some recognition, must
be given to the constant vigilance Of
the many anonymous and unhera1ded
men who endlessly do their jobs SO
efficiently-the man on the fire depart
meflt switchboard who received the call,
the ambulance doctors and driver,
along with their ever-ready life-saving
equipment, and to the unselfish and
unhesitating physicians who answer
calls in the highest traditions Of their
profession. To them and all those like
them we offer our gratitude. People
everywhere, whether they are in such
need or not, should feel comfort and
confidence in these times In the knowl-
edge that hurried and desperate call
in the middle Of the night will be an
swered and that such services are avail
able.

Arthur Copper

Former Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas
was good and faithful friend to the people of
the District of Columbia from 1899. when he
came here as newspaper correspondent, until
his death at SO on Wednesday. Both as chairman
of the Senate District Committee from 1925 to
1888 and as co-sponsor of the Sumners-Capper
joint resolution in 1945 he contended that Wash
ingtonians are entitled to representation in
Congress and to the right Of local self-govern-
ment. Anything less than such measures of
Justice as these, he felt, was un-Amercan.
Characteristic of his line Of argument was
statement which Senator Capper issued during
World War II, reading in part: "It is a terrible
Indictment of American civilization that. while
Americans of all races and creeds and national
origins have been fighting our battles abroad,
here at home small minority in Congress was
able through various tricks and devices, to block
passage of legislation to insure rights to our own
citizens. They also made it impossible for citi-
zens of the District of Columbia to have vote
q right that is given to American citizens in
every State"
These words were evidence of Senator Cap
per's deep sympathy, his active zeal and his pro-
found sincerity. Self-made himself he always
sought to help others toward higher goals of
achievement. But the endeavor which held his
attention longest and In many respects was
nearest to his heart was that for fiscal and poit-
!cal equity for Washington. Even after he had
retired from the Senate, he continued to work

until 1t became thick.
while the mush was still warm We
would have large helping Of 1t for
supper. They called it supper IN those
days. What was left over from this
meal was poured into a deep dish to
harden and was sliced thin and fried
crisp for breakfast the next morning.
"At our former home In Ohib we were
able to buy rolls Of mush. wrapped in
oily paper, at all the groceries.
so I was able to have my seven
slices of mush every morning during the
fall and winter months.

slices?'
'T told her 1t was just because one
skillet wouldn't hold any more. But we

"He asked, What's mush?'
"Boy, what that fellow missed!

Natives Of Pennsylvania claim that
fried mush. as national dish. came
from their State.
Probably 1t did. Residents Of early
Pennsylvania, moving to the West, got
tired when they reached Indiana and
decided to remain.
It was an excellent choice.
Indiana is noted for many things, in

Bus Service and Deficits

The Prince Georges County Commissioners
are UNDERSTANDABLE opposed to the Capital
Transit Company's plan for curtailing service
on several county lines and eliminating one line
altogether Although the company believes that
the changes would not be. devastating blow
to the county, 1t Is always disturbing to grow
ing community to get less transit service, rather
than more. Certainly the Maryland Public Serv
ice Commission should not accede to the reduc-
tion If there Is any feasible way of avoiding It,
even If higher fares would be involved in a
solution. Zone fares in nearby Maryland, Incl
dentally are lower than those for comparable
bus service in nearby Virginia.
Capital Transit, in appealing to the Mary
land Public Service Commission for relief
asserted that the county lines are operating at
substantial and unacceptable losses. The over
all losses of Capital Transit during the past year
from it's operations in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties have amounted to about
100000, according to the company's figures.
Elimination of some bus services in Maryland
last March, by consent of Maryland's PSC, had
reduced the loss total to about 100000 year,
but subsequent wage increase resulted in a
higher deficit which cannot be absorbed, Capital
Transit declares.
The company's biggest single loser in Prince
Georges County Is It's H6-8 busline, operating
from College Park to Kent and Landover Hills.
This is shuttle line instituted about four years
ago in response to public requests for cross
county services between the College Park area
and the Defense Highway section. Capital
Transit has reported heavy losses on this line
ever since it was opened. This year, the company
says, it has lost $65,OOO on It, The line goes
through Hyattsville, which is connected with
College Park and the District by another Capital
Transit main bus route, &C. Greyhound buses
also serve College Park and Hyattsville.
j. A. B. Broadwater, Capital Transit presi-
dent has said he sees no alternative to reducing
bus services to Maryland communities Ofhand,
it would seem that increased fares would be an
{ alternative The company is said to have con-
sidered this plan, but to have come to the
conclusion that fares In Maryland now are at
or near what transit experts call the point of
diminishing returns" In other words, higher
\ fares might drive away enough customers to
cause a further drop in revenues. There is no
way Of proving that this would be the result
until test is made, however. This is one angle
OF the problem that the PSC ought to explore
before giving its approval to another reduction
of bus service in Maryland.

A Bubble Bursts

There may still be some people who are
dazzled by the get-rich-quick brand of Wash
ngton success story. If so, the case of E. Merl
Young should open their eyes.
Mr.. Young, according to the report of Senator
Fulbright's RFC investigating COMMITTEES, got
his first job in Washington working for q dairy
He left the city after that, but returned when
his wife was hired as secretary in the Office
OF the then Senator Truman. Then he got
Job as assistant messenger at the General Acc
counting Office. His salary was $1,000 a year.
In 1912 he went into the Marine Corps, serving
until 1945. From that time on events moved
quickly. He got place in the RFC as an exam
liner at $4500 year. BY 1948 he was making
over $1,000 year in the same agency. Then
he left the Government for an $4,000 Job as
Q vice president with the Lustron Corporation
"a heavy borrower from the RFC At the same
time he went on the payroll of the F. L. Jacobs
Company of Detroit at $4,000 year. For 1850
tax purposes he estimated his income at $50 O0O0-
quite step up from the 1080 job of 1910.
Meanwhile. he had bought handsome home
and his wife. who by that time was White House
secretary, had acquired the famous royal pastel
mink coat.
But this bubble was soon to break The
Tulbright committee came forward with its
''web-of-infuence" report-a report which Presi-
oc1t UOO IldSGuy QeSCTIUeQ as aSlQINe.
Before long, as the facts emerged, the whole
shabby business had to be put before Federal
grand jury.
That jury now has returned perjury indict-
ments against Young and three others-Joseph
H. Rosenbaum, prominent Washington at
torney; Herschel Young, a brother Of Merl
Young, and Robert w. Dudley, until recently
associated with the Rosenbaum law firm They
are charged with telling variety of lies, either
to the Fulbright committee or to the grand jury
In due time they will be tried, and, If convicted,
the prospect of jail awaits them.
E. Merl Young is only 40 years old. But his
lush days are behind him. The home and the
fancy jobs are gone, and he and his wife are
running a motel in Florida. Before long, If
convicted, he will have to pay further penalty.
There is no occasion to waste sympathy on
Mr.. Young. But the story of his swift climb
from rags to riches, and his even swifter fall
from riches to something worse than rags should
stand as an unmistakable object lesson the next
time some youngster is tempted to follow in his
misguided footsteps.
