Editor, The Citizen:
The star-spangled TRADE which
appeared in the Miami Herald a
few days ago under the signature
of the Observation-Disclosures
ed leader of the Stevenson for
President Club, Mr.. Gerald Saun-
ders, was meant to scare the liv-
ing daylights out of Senator
George Smathers. The point that
Mr.. Saunders tried to put over
is that if a man is registered as
a Democrat then he has surren-
dered his freedom of the ballot
and has no other alternative than
to vote for the Democratic cam
didate. He has automatically sur
rendered his freedom of thought.
Mr.. Saunders singled out Sena-
tor Smathers but whether he is
unread and ignorant, of he is
deliberately trying to mis-lead
the people. The truth of the
matter is that Senator Smathers,
together with Senator Holland
and practically all of the Florida
Congressman are doing what
practically all of the other Sena-
tors and Congressman of the
Southern States are doing-they
are making solemn protest in
your behalf of the Democratic
party's betrayal of the South.
Don't you realize, fellow Demo-
making it difficult for them TO pre-
sent their views to union member
ship.
To overcome what he termed
discriminatory" tactics on the
part of labor leaders, Cain has
been campaigning heavily along
the handshaking circuit at fac
! tories, mills and small outlying
communities.
And he has tried, without sue
cess, to draw Jackson into pub
lie debate on what he terms the
important issues of the campaign:
''the Korean War, labor legisla-
ton, anti-C Communist legislation
and Jackson's voting record on
spending"
He accused Jackson of "duck-
ing" the challenge to debate.
Jackson, one of the states most
eligible bachelors, replied in an
advertisement that Cain fought
our defense buildup" by voting
against the 7O-group Air Force and
military aid to Korea and Formosa
before the Communist attack.
He went to Gains hometown for
radio broadcast on what he en-
titled 1.-The sorry Cain record"
jackson criticized Gains voting
record on social security and gov
eminent reorganization and as
serted the former Tacoma mayor
has "done nothing for the state In

Dick Todd today signed one
year contract with the Redskins
to coach Washington's pro football
club again in 1852. The decision
was reached after two conferences
with George Marshall, president
of the club.
Terms of the contract, whereby
Todd stays on as the seventh Red
skins head coach since the team
came here in 1897. were not dis
closed, but it is believed Dick will
receive approximately $12,500 for
five months work-plus a bonus.
Todd, who arrived here Tuesday
night from his Texas home. spent
four hours with Marshall yeSter-
day. Some of the time was given
to discussing the players chosen
by the Redskins in the National
Football League draft last week.
Under the terms of his new
agreement. Todd will be permitted
to select two assistants. He re-
fused to say whether or not he
would bring back End Coach Larry
Cabrelli or Line Coach Orville
Tuttle from last years staff.
Todd will be available at all
times, Marshall said, but will not
have to make his headquarters in
Washington the year around.
During his absence, Herman Ball
will be in charge. Todd sue
ceeded Ball after the Redskins
lost their first three games last
season. Ball will continue to
serve as chief scout.

Under Todd the Redskins won

the rest of the 1851 season. APP

over when the Chicago Bears re-
fused to release Line Coach Hunk

Todd's success with the Redskins
helped the head man to change
his mind.

Gehrmann Suggests
WILT Stick 10 2-Mie
III He Can't Win Mile
BY the Associated Press

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 25.-Don
Gehrmann suggested today his old
rival, Fred Wilt, ought to confine
his running to the two-mile If he
doesn't feel he's fast enough to
win the mile.
Gehrmann's remarks were made
as he left for New York where
he'll meet Wilt again tomorrow
night in the Wanamaker Mile
headline event in the Millrose
games at Madison Square Garden.
The former Wisconsin ace was
asked about Wits reported re-
mark in New York that he was a

my object in any of these
races is not to set any spectacular
time nor to break any records. y
Gehrmann said. II believe track
lis a competitive sport in which
the competitor should run to. win.
IF Wilt feels that he does not
have the speed to win the mile in
the last 20 yards, certainly it
would be to his advantage to run
in the slower race, the two-mile. -
Can't Depend on ''Kick."
Wilt was quoted in New York
as saying he didn't have the speed
to run a straight quarter mile
faster than So or SO seconds if
my life depended on it" and
therefore couldn't afford to let a
slow early pace develop and de-
pend on a finishing kick as does
Gehrmann.
Gehrmann has won 13 of II
races from Wilt over the last three
years, including two this season.
AS to the term, parasite. -
Gehrmann doubted that Wilt
had used that word, adding that
"he's not that kind of fellow. ;"
Gehrmann will be the favorite
in the six-man field.

ARCADIA, Calf, Jan. 25.-
Windy City II. the Irish-bred colt

Santa Anita, and he may be a
real threat for the 100000 Derby.
Two jockeys, including the 1850
co-champion, Willie Shoemaker,
we're suspended yesterday for five

Shoemaker was accused OF cauS-

applicants who check more than

One of these pay boosts also pro-
vided for modernization Of the
1923 Classification Act. The Star
threw it's support behind all these
measures.
Another =. important event in
Government personnel matters
was the creation of Federal en-
ploye unions. These classified
and postal worker groups have
had wide influence on Congress
and the Executive Branch in i'm
proving the benefits of Federal
employees and bettering working
conditions. These groups have
achieved all this through" IAN
amiable and cooperative working
relationship with Congress and
Government officials.
In 1920. Congress enacted re-
tirement benefits for the first time
for Federal employees. These ben
efits have been liberalized through
the years.
Another important event was
the Mead-Ramspeck Act of 1941.
whereby a within-grade salary
promotion system was estab-
lished for Federal workers. A
year earlier. the Ramspeck Act
had blanketed into civil service
10000 Federal jobs that had been
outside the merit system.

ures as well as others omitted

Herbert L. CASTOR, who helped

United States Government money
to foreign countries. has resigned
as president of the Export Import
Bank, it was announced today.
He will leave January 10. A
letter Of thanks for his services
from President Truman was made
public at the bank. The President
wrote:
Your record Of distinguished
service to your Government as
Assistant Secretary of the Treas

Today, as the Government has
expanded through the years to
meet the increased duties and OBJ
legations thrust upon it by the
changing times, Federal employ
ment in Washington now totals
245. 900. Counting the nearly 20,-
900 workers in the District gov
ernment and another 5000 or so
on Capitol Hill, the total Federal
lpayrolls here numbers nearly 270.-
600 workers.
The 100000 employees and their
families constitute the bulk of the
population in Washington and the
surrounding suburbs and, there
fore. their economic well-being
constitutes the lifeblood of the
community.
Through it's 100 years of ex-
Iistence, The Star has been in the
forefront of those who have fought
for more efficient Government
through a strong merit system,
modern personnel procedures and
fair and equitable benefits for
Government employees.
Much progress has been made
during these 100 years. and The
Star, through its unrelenting fight
for these gains. can justly share
in the credit for these achieve
ments. Much remains to be done,
and Government employees may be
sure that The Star. in the future,
will wage the same intensive fight
lit has in the past.
SPOILS-Back in 1852, all Fed
eral jobs were under the spoils
systems. Efforts were made
periodically by a few stalwarts in
Congress to enact legislation plac-
ing Government positions under
civil service, but these attempts
always ended in failure.
Political patronage was the
mode of the times. and even
President Lincoln. during his ad-
ministration, used the spoils
system to the utmost to keep
control of his party. Lincoln in
tensely disliked the system, but
he felt it was necessary to keep
the political support he needed
in the supreme crisis he and the
Nation faced. Despite his dislike
of the spoils system, Lincoln made
over 400 job removals, the largest
of removals made by
any American President.
When the Civil War ended, Lin
coin felt he could discard the
spoils system. On his reelection,
he served notice that he would not
turn out experienced workers and
undertake the labor and worry of
replacing them. Lincoln's sudden

quacies of Federal personnel ad-

and how they can be corrected"
Polls Goes to Eisenhower.
The poll, it's conclusions and
background, have been sent to
President-elect Eisenhower, his
top staff and his newly appointed
Government reorganization COM
mittee, Mr.. Watson said.
The league official said the first
step in reorganization Of civil
service must be the appointment
of a top-flight administrator as
the new chairman Of the Civil
Service Commission. The new
chairman should be a man with
ample experience in Government
and industrial personnel work, he
said.
Mr.. Watson said modernizeo
personnel techniques are needed
in Government. Also. the Presi-
dent must make efficient Federal
personnel policies his own respon-
sibility, the league official said.
Adequate employe training pro-
grams and elimination of red tape
in personnel matters are also
needed, Mr.. Watson declared.
Policies Planned.
The leagues survey showed that
the businessmen interviewed
blamed present civil service pol
icies for acting as a barrier to
the efficient managing of Govern
ment employees" Eighty-seven per
cent Of the business executives
felt this was the case.
The businessmen declared that
no one is actually held responsible
now for making civil service work.
Civil service, in other words, is
prime example of hierarchal
buck-passing." Mr.. Watson COM
mented.
The businessmen also found out,
much to their surprise, said Mr..
Watson, that it was not Federal
employees who were responsible
tor Government inefficiency, but
the confusion and red tape in
which they worked. The execu-
tives also found that Federal
workers often had not received
adequate training and orientation
