Putting Security First

There is a reassuring quality to Defense
Secretary Wilson's comment that he is going to
'let some one else worry" about balanced
Federal budget in the next fiscal year.
This does not mean, of course, that Mr..
Wilson is indifferent to the desirability of bal
ancing the budget. Quite the contrary is the
case. In fact, he has already trimmed esti-
mated defense outlays sharply, and he has
estimated that defense spending in the next
fiscal year may drop about So billion under the
$42 billion expected to be paid out this year.
There has been some fear, however, whether
justified or not, that pressure for balanced
budget would override our security needs. The
Government is faced, as a result of expiring
taxes, with a substantial loss in revenue.
Nevertheless, highly placed administration off,
cialS have been talking confidently about
balanced budget next year The two things
seem irreconcilable without very deep cut in
defense outlays-a cut which certainly would
necessitate radical and highly dangerous re-
vision in our defense planning. Mr.. Wilson'S
comment has been taken to mean that he viii
not concur in such cut at the expense Of the
defense program, and this Interpretation, If
correct, is definitely reassuring

Still World Champions

Well, the Yankees are still world champions
of baseball and the Buns are still the Buns
albeit buns who, in defeat, retain certain
dignity and pride. For Brooklyn made coura-
geous effort to overcome the Specter of Yankee
invincibility, tying the series count at two to
two after bad start and tying the sixth and
final game at three to three in the thrill
packed ninth inning. It was Billy Martins
climactic single in the Yanks last half of the
ninth that ended the suspense and toppled an
other record for Casey Stengel. The rough
and-ready- tonight Casey became the first
major league manager to win five world cham
pionShipS in row.
Whether such monotonous row of victories
by one team is good for baseball is question
that will be debated in many an Office, tavern
and home for long time to come. A secondary
question subject to debate is whether the
monotony of subway series, year after year,
is good for the game. But as long as the
Yankees can maintain that murdererS' row OF
batterS and Brooklyn can balance hitters and
pitchers as in the recent past, there is not much
the weaker teams of either league can do about
it-except to match or exceed the strength Of
their rivals. The appearance of Baltimore in
the American League lineup for next season
will offer a much-needed tonic to the junior
circuit, although there is as yet no reason to
believe that next years outcome will be far
different from that of 1858.
Meanwhile, sports fans can give their un-
divided attention to football, both college and
professional Have you noticed that the Red
skins are in seconds place in their division?
zone win, one tie so far That isn't bad
start for team that had made a poor showing

better year for the hometown professionals.

Retrenchment's Complexities

President EisenhowerS announced concern
over the complexities" of civil service problems
and his pledge to work for "the best possible
standards and practices in personnel admins
tration" come at an appropriate time. The COM
plexities of the Federal merit system are espe-
cially troublesome right now, in the wake of
change of political administration. Federal
retrenchment has led to large-scale dismissalS
in various departments and agencies. There
have been indications that in the rush to COM
ply with economy orders some personnel ad-
miniStratorS have not adhered to the best pos
sble standards and practices. AS a result there
have been many complaints of injusticeS done
to career employees of inadequate re-employ-
ment programs for those dismissed and of in
sufficient attention to the plight of temporary
indefinite workers Morale of the Federal es-
tablishment consequently has been at low
level in recent months
Some of these problems are to be given
close study by the Civil Service Assembly OF the
United States and Canada, to which the Presi-
dent addressed his reassuring message regard
ing the civil service system The message COIN
cided with release by the Joint Committee on
the Reduction of Non-ESSential Federal Expedi-
lures of a report showing that Federal person.
mel diSmiSSalS reached a new high of 24,302 in
August for the country a whole. Most of
ernment outside of Washington and it's envi-
ronS Federal officials say that the worst is
over" and that from now on the number of
employees let out will taper off rapidly.
There is plenty of evidence that many en-
ployeS who for years have held regular civil
service status and who had considered them
selves relatively secure from the effects of ad-
ministration changes have been among the first
to be cut off the Federal payroll. Naturally,
these career workers, most of whom have fami-
lies and have established permanent homes
here, feel that they are victims of bad faith.
Too-glowing civil service recruitment posters
in years past, promising security to those who
made the Government a career, have contrib
uted to the spirit of resentment among many
of the displaced employees. Until recently the
Civil Service Commission had been making little
headway in aiding the discharged careerists to
find other jobs.
If the Civil Service Assembly can evolve
a feasible plan for effecting more orderly
reductions in force during times of retrench-
ment, it will have filled void in the present
career system. Department heads had little of
a specific nature to guide them in making re-
ductionS when the administration ordered
cuts. AS result, mistakes were made that have
hurt the administration and hurt the merit
system. President EiSenhowerS determination
to deal with these complexities" will help to
bring results.

forth onto a shed almost in their own
front yard.
The doors-but there were no doors!
So these people would look out onto
parked cars for the rest of their lives.
This was different, Templeton Jones,
felt. from the English-type home he had
lived in as a child.
It had the kitchen on the front, but
no one could tell it from the outside.
This new rambler was faced just the
other way, into the garden, which had
its good points, undoubtedly.
Still, there was the shed.
A shed shouldn't be there, no matter
how elaborate shed it was.
A shed is shed.
Its none of your business" Temple
ton Jones kept telling himself. "You
don't even live in the block
Then the thought came. But you
have to pass it twice day, and you
don't want to look at a cowshed for
the rest of your life"
1t was a nice shed, however, very
tricky with good brick work, and neat
little evergreens planted all around it.

It was, in fact, shed. fancy shed,
it was true, but shed, nevertheless.
This shed was right on the street,
whereas all the other homes in the old
block faced squarely onto the street,
as they should.
The new people, whoever they were
to be, had played a fast one on the
old street.
They were using it as an alley!
It took Jones some time to grasp
this.
He had passed that way twice every
day for a quarter of century.
He knew most of the people in the
homes in that block.
Many of them had offered to ferry
him down to the circle.
He knew their children, and their
dogs.
He had taken a neighborhood pride
in their fine homes. Now someone had
come along, without any knowledge of
what had been,~and had seen fit to use
the old street as an alley.
They would not, probably, either real
ize or admit that this was what they
had done.
But the effect was the same.

To say that Templeton Jones was
f1abbergasted was putting it mildly.
Here was a house, he saw, put wrong
end to the street.
The front door was faced to the
north, into the garden. and the garage
was right on the front.
And such a garage!
A cowshed, it seemed to Jones, the
old conservative who rather resented

One has to be so years old-or Older

In the old days, they called it bum

including ranch house and rambler.
Since there is no ranch, that name is
a misnomer; often, too. the rambler is
so small that it simply does not
"ramble."
These things make no difference.
The rambler, to use the better name of
the two. is strictly modern, answering
to certain demands of today's people.

Slow Justice

The next Congress will find some disturbing
information in the annual report OF Henry P.
Chandler, director of the Administrative ONCE
of United States Courts According to Mr..
Chandler, a survey has revealed that the ma
chinery of justice is slowing down in most
Federal districts to pace that is resulting in
injustice for many litgants, rather than justice.
Only an increase in the number of judges can
solve the problem of growing backlogs of cases,
some of them as much as two and three years
old
The average wait between filing and trial
Of contested civil cases in the SO judicial dis
tricts rose to 1914 months during the past fiscal
year In the District the time lag was "a
months in jury cases and II months in nom
Jury cases. In the New York and Brooklyn
districts the delays averaged 473 and 1926
months, respectively. Mr.. Chandler said: What
this means to litigants in reparation OF wrongs
delayed in unjust settlements which are prac-
tically compulsory for parties who cannot afford
to wait for the process of the courts and in
legal rights left in doubt because the courts
have not been able to reach the questions in
volved need not be elaborated Certainly
great country like the United States owes it to
its people to provide for it's courts in way that
will enable them to administer justice promptly
and effectively"
Legislation calling for % additional district
judgeships and three additional circuit judge
ships failed of enactment during the past
session of Congress. The pending bill should be
passed at the next session, if the American
motto of equal justice under law" is to have
real meaning to all litigants
