THIS AND That
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL

Temp Jones was still
grouchy when he spoke Of
those people in organiza-
tons who never have any,
thing to say except to those
who can advance them.
Maybe they are right.
After all, what's the use
of wasting time on those
who, for a variety of rea-
sons, can't help you?
Just keep your eye on the
main chance. and go ahead.
Jones says this must be
their motto. and he says it
Is a motto he doesn't like.
There is nothing he can
do about 1t, however.
He has to sit and watch
the thing work out.
Sometimes, he reports
with glee, it just doesn't
work out. Ha, ha. hal
Then he-and the rest Of
the boys and girls - are
joyous.
When you see that big grin
mantling many an honest
face, know for sure that one
of these bright boys has come
q cropper.
The bright lad keeps his
face closed for a few days,
studying the situation.
He has nothing to say to
anybody, at this time.
He is looking the place
over. studying the map Of
advancement.
Whether he aims to be-
come one of those queer
creatures of modern endeav-
or, the junior executive, or
merely a worker behind the
scenes, he must know the lay
Of the land.
He wants to know who
counts and who does not.
A better way to say it
would be-:
He wants to know who
counts. That's all.
The rest, according to his
philosophy, don't. He wastes
no time on them.
He has nary a smile for
them, never a pleasant word,
or even a sharp retort.
Evidently the remainder
are not worthy Of his slight
est effort, so he passes them
by, or by-passes them, just,
as you choose.
But, ah, what q difference
when it comes to Those Who
Count!

Petty Cash for Caviar

The State Department has griev-
ance which might be "sloganized" as
billions for bombs, but not enough cash
for caviar" In today's kind of total war,
It is complaint less funny than it may
sound.
The problem, in brief, is to persuade
Congress to loosen up bit on the So
called representation allowances for our
diplomatic missions abroad Pending

finance official entertainment. A year
ago the department asked $1.2 million
but an economy-minded Congress cut
the figure to 100000. 1t might fairly

School Reform

Senator Fulbright, discuss
ing our educational lacks, de-

anti-intellectualism that was
the result of neglect of edu-
cation going back for many
decades. He did not, how
ever, point out the cause Of
this neglect Of education.
which / conceive as follows:
For two generations. illit-
crate peasantry of Europe
poured into this country with
the aim Of improving their
economic lot. These desires
they amply fulfilled. But
they did not bring with them
from Europe much hereditary
or environmental thirst for
knowledge and culture. Free
education in this country was
seen as the road Upward, eco
nomically and socially, and
they availed themselves ca
gerly Of this opportunity. But
these educational motivations
were chiefly economic and
material in character.
AS a result, we have truck
drivers. bricklayers and fac
tory workers often better paid
than professors. Well, this is
just what the majority Of
Americans wanted, and this
is what they have secured.
II would seem that this
country has been remarkably
successful in achieving by
means Of its educational sys-
tenn all that 1t set out to
achieve. What il 1t that we
now want? To make the path

top by organization methods.
And at the bottom-at the

mass effort to elevate our
educational aims to higher

ton on the part Of our hum
blest citizens Of the vital need

Jobs for Hondicopped

what can we do" asks
Margaret T. Henney in a
letter, about jobs for handi-
capped persons, I'VE who
know no employers and no
handicapped persons?" Then
she adds a good lead: when
needs Of men are made
known, as you CThe Starr
have done, help surely
comes"
Most of us---if we think in
terms of factory owners and
wheelchair cripples-do not
know any employers" or
handicapped persons" But
employer" may be Mrs. Hen
ney herself. If she hires a
part-time housemaid, or an
odd-job handyman to NOW
the lawn, she Is providing
income-earning employment.
Maybe the handyman is half
deaf or the housemaid has
a speech defect. Those are
handicaps-not of a kind to
interfere with performing the
job. but all too often some
such irrelevant imperfection
draws rejection for steady
employment. Especially is
this true among large firms
which have many jobs but
are unnecessarily rigid about
hiring only physically perfect
persons even though the Job
to be filled calls for only a
certain few of the numerous
abilities every human pos

Organizations that have
hired such workers have
found them to be skillful in

are properly matched: and
they are loyal employees. ALI
employers. being sensitive
to public opinion, would
doubtless show response if
that part of the public they
value most highly, their GUS
toners, expressed interest in
hiring policies.
It need not be a big firm.
Often the smaller business
place has the just-right job.
The filing station, the drug
store, the corner grocery:
wherever you make a pur-
chase or wherever you pay
a bill, ask the owner or
manager whether he hires
any handicapped workers. If
not, has he thought of in
GLIDING any in his work
force?
You can also talk UP the
subject among any group you
are in-church, club. or
lodge. Ask. do you know
anybody who because of
some injury or illness has
difficulty finding a job or
earning a living2 If you do,
urge them to go to their
nearest State or local voca-
tional rehabilitation Office
for professional job guidance.

Pleas for Annuitonts

I am. unable to find one
good reason for the failure Of
Congress to increase the an
nuities Of retired civil service
employees.
In spite Of allegations to
the contrary. ! am reliably
informed that present and
future civil service employees
may rest assured that their
civil service retirement and
disability fund will be able
to pay all annuities, survivors
annuities and other obliga-
tions on the day due: that
the fund is now financed un-
der Public Law S54 Of the
84th Congress, which assures
the perpetual integrity and
solvency of the fund; that
the balance in the fund is
steadily increasing each
month and is at present over
ST. billion and by June 80 of
this year it will be $8.3 billion.
The amount necessary to
finance annuity increases
covered by S. 70 or H. r.
GOT will not ieopardize the
solvency Of the retirement
fund. These bills do not re-
quire an appropriation and
will not increase the national
budget.
The annuitantS need help,
and the need is urgent.

To School Board

The Rose Lees Hardy Home
and School Association has
noted with increasing in
terest the diligent and broad
search being undertaken by
the Board Of Education in its
efforts to seek and engage
new leadership for appoint
ment to the Office Of Super
intendent of Schools upon
retirement of DR., Hobart N.
Corning.
It is the hope Of this asso-
citation that the board will
appoint as Superintendent of
Schools a youthful man of
proven ability, a scholar and
educator who can, and will,
provide virile and progress
sive leadership. inspire de-
termination and creativeness,
invest responsibility and en-
courage personal leadership
anon. the administrative
and professional people at
all levels throughout our
schools that will enable
Washington to have a model
educational system. More
over, 1t would seem essential
that the new superintendent
should possess the talent Of
utilizing broadly the vast
potential of community lead
erShip-both city-wide and
at the neighborhooc level
to make public education q
cooperative undertaking for
the betterment of each school
and the total system which
serves the community. Large
as our system is, and the
many demands already made
upon school people, there is
a basic requirement for in
dividual and personal in
terest in the needs and hap
penings at each school and
the neighborhood which it
serves.
In addition, we commend
the board for its careful con-
sideration and determine
ton in judgment that the
new superintendent should
be accorded the opportunity
of expression concerning the
selections for the top pro-
fessional administrative posi-
tons now vacant.
Many responsible citizens
In our community, and ma
tionally, believe that public
education is in a period Of
trial. Certainly this Is true in
many areas, particularly in
light Of new challenges and
the current and long over
due needs in the field Of edu-
cation and the attachments
thereof. We earnestly hope
that the Board Of Education
will provide the District
school system with RESPONSE
BILE professional leadership,
and give guidance that viii
bring increasing public credit
to itself.

He Is BY no means without
opposition for the senatorial
nomination. Bernard M.
Stanley. former White House
secretary in the Eisenhower
administration, tossed his hat
in the ring even before Sem
ator Smith announced he
would not seek another term.
Robert Morris. counsel for
the Senate Security Subcom-
mite, resigned recently also
to get in the race. Repre-
sentative Peter Frelinghuysen
Of the 5th district, who also
bears a widely known name
in the State, is q potential
candidate, as is State Senator
Walter Jones. The Republic
can State organization is hop
ing to iron out this situation
and so avoid q devastating
intraparty fight in the pri-
mary.
Scott Seen In Race
Another member Of the
House Of Representatives,
Hugh Scott Of the Pennsyl-
vAnia 9Th district, is certain
to announce for the Republic
can senatorial nomination
and probably well before the
first filing date, February %.
The Pennsylvania primaries
fall on May 20. Whether his
colleague, Representative vii.
liam E. Van Zandt of the
goth district, will also file
is not yet clear. Mr.. Van
zandt has indicated he would
run II he could have solid
party support. That, however,
appears impossible. Weldon
Hepburn already has an
nounced he will be a candi.
date for the Senate Republic
can nomination. Consider
able support already has
lined up for Mr.. Scott in
many counties of the State.
Among prominent Republic
cans in his corner are 1t.
Gen. Milton @. Baker, super
intendent of the Valley Forge
Military Academy; Walter F.
Wilmarth of Susquehanna,
past president of the PENN
sylvania Farmers Association,
and Judge Elder Marshall Of
Pittsburgh. The Republican
nominee for the Senate will
in all probability have to face
Gov. George Leader, Demo-
crat, who is expected to be
his party's nominee.
In all three of these States,
the Republicans could well
take to heart the advice Of
Vice President Nixon, which
is to fight the Democrats and
not engage in suicidal rows
among themselves. A hard
fought primary campaign is
not necessarily fatal to a
political party-provided later
unity can be obtained. This
is possible, however, only if
the opposing candidates in
the primaries do not throw
too many brickbats and create
too deep factional differences.
The Republicans in PENN
sylvania have, too, the prob
lem Of nominating a candi-
date for Governor. Among
the prominent possibilities"
are John Walker, minority
county commissioner in Ale
gheny County; William /, S.
Livengood, former secretary
for internal affairs, and Ar
thur McGonigle, Republican
State finance chairman.

soft-soaping, buttering, and

strokes.
He never misses a chance
to be courteous to the chosen
ones. those who really count,
you know.
That those on the side
lines have another name for
it never enters his head, or, if
it does, he dismisses it from
his mind.
He has a single-track
mind, all right.
1t runs from here" to
there" and in his diction-
airy, the first means zone who
counts" and the second,
oddly enough, zone who
counts" too.
What do the big boys think
OF this performance?
Temp Jones wishes he
knew.
Can they be so easily fooled,
or are they. in the last analy-
sis, as fond Of apple sauce as
the rest of us?
Templeton Jones, after
watching the scene for many
years, has a suspicion, run.
ming to certainty, that they
are seldom fooled.
Now and then, it suits
them best to let such a
worker get away with it, or
seem to get away with it.
For every one who succeeds,
by this method, nine are left
by the wayside, or leave to
try it someplace else.
So when one Of these per-
sons ignores our old friend,
he no longer mourns over his
loss.
He is just glad they let him
alone.
After all, in this modern
world, that is something.
To be let alone to do your
work-that is a whole lot,
