This and That

Templeton Jones was leafing through
some old files Of The Star.
It was for the year 1902, or thereabout.
Suddenly, as he looked for something
else, the following paragraph popped
before his eyes:
"A bullet Of unknown origin fell on
Oregon avenue yesterday afternoon.
Police are investigating"
Jones looked up, q merry twinkle in
his eye. He said nothing, however, be-
cause there was no one there to talk to.
He thought q great deal. though.
So that was where that bullet went!
4
After all these years. it was strange
that he should recall that sunny after
noon so long ago, when he went to
small comrades back yard with his 20
caliber rife.
In those days, Washington was more
on the order Of big village.
Ways were free and easy.
No parent, then or now. wanted their
children to play with guns, but some
how the kids managed it,
Templeton Jones got o flash backward
in time, when he read that old para
graph.
Yes, it must have been that time he
took the tail feather out Of q sparrow.
It was as near as he ever came to hit
ting one.
As Jones fondly recalled his boyhood.
he and his comrades seemed to have
a.Nttle common sense.
Evening star., 1952-08-26
By Charles E. Trocewen
Francis Koppeis.

No ammunition was put in until the
target area was reached.
The choice Of this area was rather
haphazard.
The neighborhood Of 18th and T
streets. it must be admitted, was not an
ideal choice.
It could have been said, in extenua-
ton, that practically always the target
was an old can, and that it was placed
at the foot Of one Of the large posts
upholding one Of the typical old Wash
ington board fences.
This day, however, the boys decided
to try Sparrows.
They popped away at birds that Lit
on the ground. with Walter failing mis-
erably to touch one.
Templeton Jones. who fiattered him
self on his craftsmanship, suddenly de-
cided to take one on the wing. ~
That was the kid Of It. All his train
ing in handling q gun went overheard,
as he raised his trusty rifle and let 60.
Bang!
Away few part Of the sparrow's tail.
Away few the sparrow. trine lopsided.
but going strong.
Got him!" Dragged Temp Jones.
Missed him!" said Walter.
That was the bullet then that landed
on Oregon avenue, and In the news
paper. but 1t took Jones 50 years to nnd
where 1t went.
Evening star., 1952-08-26

Let us call it the sense Of survival.
AS Jones looks back, neither he nor
any of his small friends ever pointed
a gun at any person.
It does not seem, at this date, that
any one ever gave them any lecture on
the danger Of firearms. They just had
the common sense to handle them cor
rectly. That way. there was not, and
is not today, so much danger.
Those old boys, at least one Of them
likes to think, kept the gun pointed at
the target, usually tin can, and al
ways looked to see If any living thing
was behind the target.
The idea Of pointing gun Sin fun"
was something that did not enter their
minds, evidently. Templeton Jones re-
calls that one Of his grade school mates
was badly hurt with penknife. but he
has forgotten whether the boy fell on
his own knife, or it was welded by
another.
It was sunny afternoon, when Temp
and his friend Walter decided to do
some shooting.
The little "a gun-it cost So in those
days-was unlimbered from the closet
where it was kept.
No bullets were kept in it. That was
another Of the sensible restrictions the
boys put upon themselves. After every
use. they cleaned the gun, using RAM
rod. then oiled 1t. and put Il away.

To Be or Not to Be-?

Whether Arlington should become city in
name as well as appearance Is question which
cannot be answered satisfactorily without q
careful weighing of the pros and cons. With the
question due to be voted on in November it is
essential that the citizens of the county be fully
informed on the subject before making decision
wrong decision could have seriously adverse
eHects on the future of the rapidly developing
county.
The County Board was wise, therefore, in
voting to request study of the problem by the
University OF Virginia'S Bureau of Public Admin
1stration The plan is to have the bureau consider
the advantages and disadvantages of two forms
OF government, namely, Arlington's present
county-manager setup and the city charter
system proposed under 1916 act. An expert,
impartial study of this kind will be helpful to
the voters in making up their minds.
The citizens already have learned that a
city cannot have its cake and eat it too. AS
county, Arlington receives more than half
million dollars from the State each year in
highway funds. It would lose this revenue if it
were to become a city If Arlington were to
incorporate as city, it would have to take on
part of the burden of building primary roads now
built wholly with State funds. On the other
hand city would have annexation powers,
franchise authority and public utility regulatory

debatable aspects about the issue to be presented
to the voters on November 4.
Many of the citizens are vitally interested in
the referendum, but are genuinely confused as
to the benefits to be gained or lost by change
of government. Under the circumstances some
objective advice from such a nonpartisan agency
as the Bureau of Public Administration at
Charlottesville would serve the public interest.
whether an adequate study of the complex
subject can be made in the short time remaining
before the election is a question which only the
bureau is competent to answer.

Planning for Retrenchment

Proposals for new reserve" category Of
civil service employees and for revised reduction
in-force system are designed to meet some OF
the special problems created by sudden Federal
expansion during national emergencies. The
plans-yet to be formally adopted by the Civil
Service Commission-would 60 a long way toward
simplifying hiring and firing, while assuring
many emergency employees OF most OF the Dement'S
guaranteed the permanent career" workers.
Some such program has long been needed, for
the good of the service as well as of wartime
employees
The civil service reserve would consist Of
employees who, although hired through regular
competitive examinations are on conditional
status geared to the emergency. With one
emergency extending into another, thousands Of
temporary" workers have found their jobs
stretched over years of service until they
resemble permanent appointments Yet these
faithful employees have been deprived of some
of the rights enjoyed by career employees. And,
when an emergency finally ended, they have
been required to take new examinations to
qualify for permanent appointments
The reserve group hereafter would be treated
like permanent employees in all respects-except
that they would have no guarantee Of tenure
Under the proposed firing g-priority plan, however
they would be the last Of emergency appointees
came to reduce the size of the Federal establish
ment. And, If selected for permanent jobs, they
would not be required to take any more tests
There are about $4,000 Federal workers eligible
for the reserve lasSincation-nearly $4,000 of
them in the washington area
The postemergency- -retrenchment plan calls
for a regrouping of civil service personnel into
four main categories: Permanent careerists,
reserve employees, indefinite term employees hired
without regard to competitive examinations and
temporary workers taken on for short-term.
special jobs. When reductions In force are
ordered, the last group would be the first to 60,
then the indefinite appointees and finally the
reserves Veterans in these categories would have
retention rights over non-veterans. The entire
program has been approved by the Federal
Personnel Council composed Of officials who
have seen how much chaos can result from
inadequate planning for peacetime layohs. An
orderly system of governmental retrenchment
Is long overdue.

The Worldwide Oil Industry

The oil industry is probably the most truly
international enterprise on the globe.
It's ownership management, sources of supply
and production and its customers are scattered
all over the world. To carry out its final mission
OF laying down at any consuming point quantity
of petroleum products which must have precise
and determinable standard of quality, the indus
try has engaged in numerous collateral occupa-
tions - housing, transport, etc. - in varying
political atmosphereS, domestic and foreign. 1t
is gigantic industry in terms of capitalization
not shoestring one. 1t is an industry where
risks are great-dry wells and appropriation, for
eXample-and one in which rewards are corre-
spondingly high. It is an industry that is
fercely competitive in some respects, and perhaps
collusive in others.
In report completed more than a year
ago, the Federal Trade Commission charged that
seven companies, five of them predominantly
American owned and two Of British-Dutch
ownership, have established monopoly control
over the industry throughout the world. The
commission made no recommendations as to
action, if any, against these companies.
Through the interest of the Senate Small
Business Committee, headed by Democratic Vice
Presidential Candidate Sparkman, and the
Mutual Security Administration, headed by
unsuccessful Democratic Presidential Candidate
Hartman, the report has now been made public
and two further steps taken. One is a suit by
the United States Government against four of
the companies to recover $67 million in alleged
overchargeS for oil furnished to countries recev-
ing American economic aid. The second is the
issuance of SubpoenaS upon officials of the
allegedly monopolistic companies to appear
before grand jury in September for questioning
about possible violation of the antitrust laws
of the United States.
It may be that the complaints which have
been expressed publicly will be proved in proper
legal fashion. If there was discriminatory
pricing arrangement that was costly to the
American taxpayer and unreasonably profitable
to the companies, there should be a recovery.
AS far as monopolistic practices are concerned,
however, prosecution of American companies
under our antitrust laws still leaves the question
of what action could be taken by the American
Government against the foreign concerns.
The oil industry has been forced to develop
the strength to defend itself both politically and
legally In this country and in others. 1t has
often been the fashion to attack it in the United
States during years of political decision. It has,
however, been the instrumentality for searching
out and developing the sources for this most
important commodity in times of either peace
or war; To take punitive steps against the
American Arms that might merely place them
at disadvantage with their foreign opposites
could be dangerous gamble with the national
security.
