The
Rambler
-. Hos Kind Word
For Elton Layton
By GEORGE KENNEDY

A very friendly man, who
for years has been helpful
to newspapermen covering
hearings before his commit
tee, is announcing his re-
tirement today.
He is Elton J. Layton,
Clerk of the House Commit
tee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce.
Elton has had that job for
36 years. Committee clerks
have an important function
in the legislative process.
Sometimes they head large
stats. Like marine engineers,
they keep the machinery
operating while the elected
representatives of the peo-
pie do the navigating.
He typifies the best Of the
old school of civil servants
who are not easily replaced.
Elton and his many prede-
cessors of the old school had
little formal education, but
they had native ability and
intense loyalty to their jobs
and to Uncle Sam.
Born 81 years ago on q
farm near Matamoras, Pa,
in the backwoods of Pike
County, he left second-year
high school to learn stenog-
raphy and Office routine at
the Port Jervis IN. " Bush
ness School.
In 1916, he got a job here
in the Office of the Quarter
master General of the Army.
1t is hard to believe today,
but up to our entry in World
War there were about as
many male as female stenog-
raphers in the Government
service. The war changed
that.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-30

"The general was very
stern; very military. Never
anything personal. 1t was do
this, do that.
"One night he must have
felt that he had to relax.
He said:
Layton, would you like
to make a wish?'
II was thrilled. 1t was the
first time he had called me
by name.
He said, Take my purse
and look through the window
at the moon
II did. Then I asked him
If I could tell him my wish.
He said. All right So 1 told
him that I wished l had a
raise = that the job paid
$4,000 and I was getting only
81 900.
The next day he called in
Hamilton. the chief clerk,
and asked me to leave the
Office. When Hamilton came
out, he said, Why didn't you
ask me for a raise? I've Just
been given the devil
II got the raise, but Ham,
ilton, who died three years
later. never spoke to me
again. 1t still bothers me-"

Joint District
Unit Proposed
Congress Members
To Offer Bills

Proposals were advanced yes
terday by several members of
Congress for the abolition of
the House and Senate District
committees and the creation in
their stead of a Congressional
Joint Committee on the Dis
trict, to handle all city matters
except the size of the Federal
payment.
The move is spanked by Rep
resentative Thompson. Demo-
crat of New Jersey. A 'compan-
ion bill is to be introduced in
the Senate by Senator Clark,
D ocrat of Pennsylvania,
chairman of the Judiciary Sub
committee of the Senate Dis
trict Committee and a former
Mayor of Philadelphia.
The bills were to be intro
duced tomorrow. but the story
leaked out yesterday and the
opposition began to develop
even before the bills were filed
1t seemed unlikely there
could be any substantial action
on the measures before Con-
gress adjourns this. year.
The idea, not new, is that
much time could be saved il
there was only one committee,
instead of two. The legislation
also would take away from
the Appropriations Committees
their actions on District budg-
cts. except as to the size Of The
Federal payment.
The proposal does not have
