CTC Is Blamed
ByMcLaugh|in

Blame for the current deadlock
in the transportation strike was
laid in the lap of the Capital
Transit Co. by District Commits
|sioner Robert E. Mclaughlin
last night.
MIR. Mclaughlin recently re-
signed as chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission to take over
his post as the Districts newest
commissioner.
"There is no indication" he
declared, that Capital Transit
Co. is thinking in terms of COM
promise"
He added that the union driv-
ers and mechanics have stead
fastly maintained their terms
and conditions are bargain
able"
In a radio summation of the
present strike picture on the
Report to the People" broad
cast over Radio Station WWDC.
Mr.. Mclaughlin asserted:
"The reason for the tie-up is
that Capital Transit Co. will not
make an offer from its own
funds, to try to bring about nego-
tiations between the parties"
He told a panel of reporters
that the District might have to
operate the company for CTC.
III no other solution could be
worked out.
Mr., Mclaughlin stressed that
District government operation
would not be confiscation." He
said efforts would be made to
find "other interested parties" to
take over permanent operation
in the event the Louis e. Wolfson
group is disenfranchised.
At the same time, the Com
missioner appealed to the public
to observe all parking regulations
during the strike. He also asked
for tighter operation of the vol
untary group riding plan used by
most motorists.

Use Of DieseIs
Urged in Strike

A young Washington business
man, Charles Carroll Carter of
2501 @ street NV. plans to
confer with Government officials
Tuesday on a plan to utilize
existing railroad tracks, under a
leasing arrangement, to run self
propelled rail diesel cars into
the city from the suburbs.
'This plan." he conte n d s
would free the city somewhat
from entire dependence upon the
Wolfson's Capital Transit trans
|portation system"
The 26-year-old builder, who
has his own office at 1850 Lee
highway. Arlington. proposes to
|lay his plan before Senator
Morse, Democrat, Of Oregon. and
District Commissioner Robert E
Mclaughlin. He says in 1853 he
and his five brothers got from
the Virginia State Corporation
Commission a charter for. the
Carter Rapid Transit Company
For two and a half years they
have been working on the trafic
problem, he said. Tracks Of the
Capital Transit Co. are not in
volved in his program, he added
Mr.. Carter said If they can
get the necessary backing. he
could go to the Budd Co. in
Philadelphia, makers Of rail
equipment, and lease a few cars
to launch the project without
delay. The new firm needs a GER
tificate of public convenience
and necessity, he said.
If all goes well, Mr.. Carter
reported, his firm would secure
leases for the use of the tracks
of the Baltimore 81 Ohio. the
Pennsylvania, the Washington
Terminal Co., the Richmond
Fredericksburg & Potomac, and
Itheh Southern railway systems
They would transport employees
lof Capitol Hill. Agriculture De-
Ipartment, Bureau Of Engraving
land Printing, Bureau Of Yards
and Docks, the Pentagon, Build
ling TT at Gravelly Point. Boil
ling Air Force Base and the Ma
wal Air Station. Railroad tracks
already in place would be en-
lployed to take the workers to
and from work. he said.
Mr.. Carter last month ap-
Ipeared before the Montgomery
County Council and presented
his plan. The council took no
Immediate action on it.
He also appeared before the
Arlington County Board in May,
he said. This board decided
when the time comes for the
county to make its proposals to
lthe joint public mass transporta-
ton committee for the Washing
ton area, his proposal should be
incorporated for consideration
among others, he said.

The book is certain to stir
lively discussion and viii be read
avidly by those interested in
civil service.
Here are some excerpts from
!Mr. Hollander's book:
"The merit system in the Fed
|eral service is facing q crisis.
|. Through the years, by dint
of prodigious effort, the per-
|centage Of Federal positions sub
|ject to patronage appointment
to the spoils system - was
steadily reduced. Today that
trend is being reversed and the
undermining Of the merit prin-
|ciple goes forward on a much
larger scale than Is generally
recognized and by various means.
The need for a new effort to
combat the rising tide Of spoils-
rnanship can not be doubted. ="
"The pressure for Federal jobs
to be dispensed as political
Ispoils remains a constant threat
to the integrity of the career
Icivil service"
e. The Civil Service Com
mission. traditionally in the fore
front of efforts to extend the
merit system, has lent itself to
stratagems designed to give an
aura Of respectability and plausi-
bility to the removal of positions
from the competitive service"
| \ \ =
| MORALE-"Much more is in
volved than the substantial
numbers Of positions which al
ready have been removed from
the merit system directly and
the scores of thousands of others
now subject to an elaborate po-
litical clearance procedure.
1.-THE effect upon the efficiency
and the morale Of the service is
lall-pervasive.
I'm department after depart
ment. in agency after agency,
positions which for many years
have been considered beyond
spoils reach either have been
removed from the career service
or are receiving the eager atten-
Ition of seekers after additional
patronage.
Inevitably this has adversely
affected morale: but it has had
even more tangible effects on
recruitment and retention of
highly competent, experienced,
longtime career employees. More
over, the whole situation is in
fuencing the decisions Of many
qualified younger men and
women, with special training
and abilities not to enter public
service. ..
The serious national implica-
tionS Of this as well as other
aspects of the whole problem
can not be over-estimated, par
ticularly in view of the immense
responsibilities of the Federal

of its members and former MEM
bers covering one years patronage
refunds from that organization.
These refund payments are made
annually, states Howard e. Jami-

reports that each members refund
check represents his pro rata
share of the savings from the dues
paid by the entire membership
after taking care of the operating
costs of the Cooperative.
These refunds, Mr. Jamison
points out, differ distinctly from
dividends in that they cover the re-
funding of unused money paid in
to cover operating expenses and
obligations, rather than earnings
on an investment such as are
usually the source of dividend pay
ments.
Services given by Interstate to

from these dues, cover wide va
riety of milk marketing activities

Stokes Broiler House
Discovered At 800 A. Nj. Thursday;

Fire, of undetermined origin,
practically destroyed an approx
mately 200 foot long broiler house
on the farm of George G. Stokes,
one-half mile below Argo Corner
and six miles southeast of Milford,
early Thursday morning.
The alarm was received by the
Carlisle Fire Company of this city
shortly before one o'clock, and it
was four-thirty before the final
reel of hose was remounted on the
trucks, of which two were used
throughout the blaze, a third truck
responded, and transferred its wa
ter supply to another truck, and
returned to Milford.
The Milton Volunteer Fire Com

and did an excellent job of fire
fighting.
Destroyed with the broiler house
was the feed house and boiler room,
fortunately there were no chickens
in the house, although it was the
plan of Mr.. Stokes to fill the house
in a few days.
While no immediate estimate was
available on the damage it will
possibly reach into the twenty
thousands.
