Because of the fact that colds cause

For bird watchers and animal lovers It

the sex of gay plumage and of regal mag
nificence. Mrs. Cardinal, for example, is
drab and dowdy specimen compared to her

envy of his tawny female companion. But
something has gone awry with the human
race and things sartorial are topsy-turvy.
Man, too long, has dressed timidly in the
black and white of formal wear and in the
drabness of gray, blue and brown suits,
while the wives and sisters are draped in

acters appeared consistently courageous or

Trunsit Rest Rooms

Please allow me to protest the action
of the Capital Transit Co. in closing
all toilet facilities and rest rooms In
their terminals.
This action works great hardship
for people who ride long distances in
going back and forth to work daily.
They feel much oppressed because. in
addition to closing the rest rooms,
the company has raised fares several
times. The Capital Transit Co. should
be able to keep an attendant in each
rest room to keep it clean and prevent
its abuse by idlers.
My maid, who is a thoroughly re-
liable person and who has been in my
employ over twenty years. has told me
how elderly and middle people
often suffer because Of the lack Of
restroom facilities.
I think this situation should be
brought to the attention Of the public
and hope Capital Transit win see
at to open these rest rooms again.

A Decent Place to Live

The National Council of Negro Wom-
en- has had very real interest in the
problems of housing over long period
of years. We have supported most Of
the measures for alleviating poor hous-
ing conditions and have regretted that
in the past two years an enlarged slum
clearance program has not materialized
We have received a letter from a
resident Of the City of Washington
asking for help in securing adequate
housing facilities for herself, her hus-
band and their six children At present
all eight of them are living In a one
bedroom basement apartment which is
damp and without proper heating fa-
cilitieS. There is no bathroom; there
Is an outdoor toilet The rent is SIS
per month exclusive Of the cost Of
utilities. One child of 2 years who
contracted tuberculosis Is now in the
Glenn Dale Sanitorium.
We were informed by the National
Capital Housing Authority that this
family is on the waiting list; that they
are eligible and worthy but there are
absolutely no houses available for a
family of this size: We talked with
representative of the relocation Office
who informed us that vacancies that
come to their attention must be given
to displaced families in the Southwest
section, Further. that rental property
is scarce and that landlords are most
reluctant to accept families with over
two or three children. In addition, the
rent for an adequate dwelling for a
family Of that size would be anywhere
from $50 to 500 month which in this
case would constitute almost half of
the husbands monthly earnings.
There are probably hundreds of lam
lilies in Washington and vicinity who
are In just such dire need Of q decent
place to live. We are making an appeal
to the citizens of this community to
help us locate four or five room
apartment for this worthy American
family. 1t seems particularly discour-
aging and has tendency to embitter
respectable people when they try day
after day. week after week and month
after month to better their condition
and find doors closed to them without
the slightest vestige Of hope.
"Why do we have to live like this?"
is the question this young mother put
to me; the one which could not an
swer, but perhaps somewhere in the
city Of Washington, there Is some one
who will provide way out.

was having its first bull fight and that
President Magsaysay had granted the

1t was gratifying to read that some

ton of Cruelty to Animals were opposed
to the introduction of bull fighting in
the Philippines. These groups are to

Bolonced Poy Program

The most controversial phase Of the
administrations proposed Federal pay raise
program is the adjustment" of salaries so
that those in the higher grades will benefit
more from the raises than the lower grades.
But the Civil Service Commission has made
out persuasive case for the graduated syS-
tenn of increases. The unfortunate fact is
that the lower salaries, over the years, have
been built up more rapidly than the upper
pay levels, with the result that the overall
pay structure has been put out Of balance.
It will take bold action to restore a proper
balance-and Congress may, as in the past,
favor the little fellow"
Chairman Young of the Civil Service
Commission has compiled figures to show
that the higher -salaried employees have not
received fair ALLEGATION of pay-raise ap-
propriations in recent years Thus, whereas
Federal workers In the lower brackets are
being paid on par with those in compare
BILE Jobs in private industry, key employees
in higher classif1cations are being paid less
than for similar duties and responsible
ties outside of the Government. This has
brought about serious turnover in expert
enced executives, technicians and specialists
in top Jobs in the Federal establishment
The loss Of such employees Is matter OF
continuing concern to Government ofacials
President Eisenhowers new pay pro-
gram Is designed to afford all classes Of en-
ployes an increase, but to so distribute the
raises as to restore some semblance OF
proper relationship among the various
grades. According to the announcement
from Augusta, where the President is spend
ing the holidays, the pay legislation will not
be tied directly to revenue legislation. But
the administration Is still convinced that
any pay bill should be offset by revenue
legislation of some sort to compensate for
the increased drain on the Treasury. In the
case Of postal pay, for example, another
effort undoubtedly will be made to obtain
an increase in postal rates. Whether In
creased pay and increased revenue are cou-
pied together or handled independently, the
administration theory that one calls for
consideration Of the other is basically sound

Fitzputrick's Resignation

In reading the correspondence be-
tween the Administrator of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency. Albert M.
Cole. and B. T. Fitzpatrick. general
counsel and formerly deputy commits
sioner Of the Housing and Home FL
nance Agency. one can't help get the
feeling that unless something Is done
quickly to prevent partisan politics
from interfering with the merit system
Of Federal service, the Nation will
continue to lose the outstanding ability
Of men like Mr.. Fitzpatrick who have
contributed the best years Of their
lives to serving their Government
Furthermore. such reckless action win
serve as q deterrent to those young
men who have looked upon Govern
ment service as did Justice Holmes
These are Holmes principles which
Fitzpatrick worked by. which he quoted
in his letter Of resignation and which
bear repeating:
'The best service we can do for our
country and ourselves Is to see as far
as one may and to feel the great forces
that are behind every. detail to
hammer out as compact and solid a
piece of work as one can. to try and
make it first rate. and to leave it uIl-
advertised"
In the light of these principles. the
implications Of Schedule c portend
mo good" for the future Of our merit
system.
It seems to me bad enough that our
security and loyalty program has come
into such bad repute with the firing
of men like John Patton Davies and
Ladejinsky. But when men like Fitz-
patrick are forced to resign, despite the
evident wish of the head of the agency
who describes the job done by Mr..
Fitzpatrick in glowing terms. to make
room for a lame duck" one Of the
great bulwarks of our free society
an untrammeled civil service system
falls by the wayside with resounding
thud.
Those of us who are concerned with
this crucial problem because Of our
keen interest in the orderly functioning
OF Government. look forward eagerly
to the White House and the next session
of Congress for the solution to this
problem. A common sense, non-parti-
san approach, one that has only the
total interest Of the American people
in mind, will put the grasping politician
in his place and at the same time pro-
tect the legitimate interest Of the civil
servant.

Wooing Japan

AS If eager to make whatever capital
they can out of Shigeru Yoshida's recent
resignation from the japanese premiership,
Moscow and Peiping now seem to be engaged
in concerted effort to WOO the Tokyo gov
eminent with talk about trade, friendship
and "normalized" diplomatic ties.
One example of this effort is Red
Chinas invitation to representatives of
Japan's fishing industry to visit Peiping for
discussions aimed at reaching agreement
on mutual problems. Similarly, acting
through satellite Poland, the Kremlin has
sent out feelers designed to impress the new
Japanese Premier-Ichiro Hatoyama-with
its desire to re-establish good diplomatic re-
lations.
Primarily because they are anxious to
put an end to Communist seizures Of their
boats in the China Sea, the Japanese fishing
people have been quick to accept the in
vitation extended to them. And Premier
Hatoyama has indicated at the same time
that he would like to see the present rela-
tionship between Tokyo and the Moscow
Peiping axis become less abnormal than 1t
is. Beyond that, he has declared that he
favors the idea of helping his country's
economy by easing some of the present
restrictions on it's trade with the Russians
and the Chinese Reds.
But like his predecessor in ohdce-the
redoubtable Mr.. YoShida-Mr. Hatoyama is
determined, according to his repeated asser-
tions, to keep Japan's foreign policy basic
ally the same as it has been since the end
Of the Second World War. That is to say,
he is determined to maintain the closest
possible ties with the United States and the
West in general, and he has made clear to
the men of the Kremlin and the Peiping
Communists that If they wish to improve
diplomatic relations or promote some in
crease in trade, they must resign themselves
to the fact, and respect it, that his country
is sovereign nation with an unquestionable
right to align itself with the free world
through such instruments as its mutual de-
fense treaty with us.
The chief implication of Mr.. Hato-
yama's position is that the Kremlin, If it
really wants to- "normalize" relations with
Tokyo, will have to sign Japanese peace
treaty comparable to the one worked out in
San Francisco over three years ago and since
ratified by practically all nations except
those behind the Iron Curtain. Presumably,
until such action is taken, the Communist
wooing operations will fall far short Of sue
cess.
