permission to construct a $780,

and discussed with several individ-

people have at the present time
to make this wise idea materialize.
At this time, I wish to convey
to all concerned some of my find
ings, especially among those who
are interested to have this club
house built or purchased soon.
Attitudes among individuals
vary. Among the unmarried, the
interest to have a clubhouse is
fading. Exceptions are those who
have relatives who have children
for whom they attach their in
terest in a clubhouse. In other
words, if not of their nieces or
nephews, they wouldn't care. There
are others, but very few, who feel
it is their patriotic and moral OBJ
legation to support clubhouse.
The married people could be

in favor of the project. Those who
talked with resentment are willing
to give their share so long as their
doubts and suspicious are cleared
up. Others are sure to follow when
they see that the leaders show
unity among themselves regarding
the project. The rest are holding
their decisions until the building
is started.
To sum up these attitudes among
the families, it is safe to say that
they are ready to give their finan-
cial and moral support so long as
there is a concrete plan presented
to them.
There is no single Filipino or
ganization in Seattle which has

There is a spot which a hunk
of sugar occupied for sometime,
and for a long time as it lay there
horde of ants came and went
and came again and went again,
and some stayed longer, altho
they always managed or tried to
come back.
The sugar is gone, but the taste
still fingers, and the ants cannot
forget the place where there was
a hunk of sugar once upon time.
See how they stickI . e. to- that
spot where once there was sugar.
1t is paradise lost, or almost lost,
and altho the sugar is gone, the
memory fingers and the thought of
the sugars taste could not be
erased from the mind of the ants.
See how they stick! Sugar is
sweet. and althO the big hunk is
gone, the ants still insist to stay,
living in the memory of a hunk
of sugar. Perhaps, the place still
smells sugary.

Interest In The Projected

itself as an organization, TO sup
port financially. and morally the
building of a community club
house. The Filipino Community OF
Seattle, Inc, is not an exception.
It is a sad fact that there is no
existing motion or resolution at
the present time pertaining to the
building of a Filipino clubhouse IN
Seattle. There are various motions
recorded regarding accommodating,
asking, collecting and raising
funds or pledges for clubhouse,
and some of them have never even
been acted upon, but there is no
motion or resolution proposed or
approved to build clubhouse.
The leaders attitude is weaken
ing. Most, if not all of them, are
at a loss regarding the project.
Their hope to go through is losing
ground due to jealousy and per-
sonal grudges between one and an
other; and those who had been try
ing their best to have their dreams
come true are disassociating them
selves from their colleagues. The
leaders attitude towards building
a community clubhouse does not
offer any encouragement, and the
community members and their fol-
lowers could not depend upon
them.
With these findings, I invite all
to read the following poem by
James ]. Metcalf. I believe that
reading this poem will lead us to
think better about the clubhouse
which we have been dreaming
about for our community.

This Injustice Should End

With Congress impatient to finish
up business and adjourn, the time for
Senate action to equalize the pay of re-
tired military officers and enlisted men
is growing diStreSSingly short. A bill to
correct inequities of the 1858 Military
Pay Act has passed the House urlani-
mouSly but lies dormant in a Subcom-
mittee of the Senate Armed Services
Committee. Senator StenniS of Missis-
slppi, chairman of the subcommittee,
has given no evidence of an intention to
act on the measure, one way or the
other.
This is regrettable, since the legiSla-
ton, proposed by President Eisenhower,
is badly needed to abolish what has
become known as the inferior retired"

The House District Committee was
well advised to delay and we hope to
abandon taking vote of censure against
Commissioner Mclaughlin based on his

do not favor the so-called home rule
advocated by Mr.. Mclaughlin or the
even more unavoidable proposal ap-
proved by the Senate but happily buried
for this session. Mr.. Mclaughlin, how
ever, has every right to support such
propositions, no matter how inane, and

list at the Pentagon. This list is made
up of men, mostly combat veterans, who
retired before the 1858 act took effect.
They were limited to a per cent in
crease in retired pay-whereas their
fellow Servicemen who retired after pas
sage of the new law are receiving sub
Stantially larger pay benefits.
1t may be that in the rush to ad-
journ it will be impracticable for the
Senate to complete passage of this vital
legislation. 1t is not too late, of course,
to make the effort. In event of failure
of this Congress to eliminate the dis
criminatory provisions of the 1858 law,
however, corrective legislation should
be given high priority at the next Ses-
sion. The injustice done 114,O00 SOL
dierS, sailors and Marines who served
their country faithfully in hot and cold
wars should not be allowed to stand

Strange Reasoning

The House District Committee cited
as a reason for opposing employment of
civilian parking meter checkers its de-
sire that more man-hourS of policing"
be devoted to the war on assaults and
yokings in the streets" But the argu-
ment is hard to follow, since the pur-
pose behind Police Chief Murray's and
the Commissioners proposal for reliev-
ing uniformed officers of parking ticket
duties was to make more officers avail
able for the war on major law violators.
Chairman Mcmillan of the commit
tee, in pushing through bill to retain
policemen on meter surveillance assign
mentS, explained that the presence of
the uniformed parking checkers would
be deterrent to yokers and other hood
lumS. He overlooked the fact, however,
that the muggingS and other assaults
rarely occur in the daytime on the busy
downtown streets where parking meters
abound They are committed, as rule,
at night on leSS-frequented streets 1t
was Chief Murray'S plan to transfer the
parking ticket patrolmen to the task
of catching criminals instead of forget
full overtime parkers.
Even stranger was the way in which
the ban on hiring civilian meter attend
ants was railroaded through the House.
The measure was approved by the House
committee without hearings and with
out consulting either the Commissioners
or Chief Murray. 1t was then reported
to the House and adopted without de-
bate. Yet both the House and the Sem
ate previously had given implicit ap-
proval to the civilian checkers corps by
granting $104,0O0 in the District budget
for the employment of 26 such civilians
They would have relieved 16 policemen
of the parking assignment. We hope the
Senate will reject the House proposal
in the interest of a strengthened anti
crime patrol force in areas where most
citizens fear to venture out alone at
night.

Retired Pay Inequity
(See editorial, This In
Justice Should End. y

(See editorial, This In
justice Should End.~
If action is not taken very
soon, the adjournment of
Congress will dash the hopes
of thousands of retired off,
GERS and enlisted men for
the rectif1cation Of an injus-
tice which has now endured
for two years.
I refer to the inequalities
created by the Military Pay
Act of 1858 concerning which
you have published edito-
rials.
In the Presidents fiscal
1861 budget message was this
paragraph:
"Traditionally, rates of pay
for retired military person.
mel have been proportionate
to current rates of pay for
active personnel. The 1858
Military Pay Act departed
from this established for
mula by providing for a 6
per cent increase rather than
a proportionate increase for
everyone retired prior to it's
effective date of June /,
1858. I indorSe pending leg
islation that will restore the
traditional relationship be-
tween retired and active duty
pay rates"
To illustrate the nature of
the injustice inherent in the
legislation of 1858, it is suf-
ficient to state that the re-
tired pay of a colonel of over
80 years service retired on
May 81 1858 is 500 less than
the pay of a colonel of over
80 years service retired after
that date-Say June 80, 1858
"a month later.
The presumption is that
both officers were of equal
merit and that their services
were of equal value to the
Government. 1t follows, it
seems to me, that their take
home" pay should be the
same.
Since 1861, I believe, mill
tary personnel have depended
on the preservation Of this
retired pay formula based
upon current active duty pay
rates applicable to the sew
eral grades, and proportion
ate to length of service.
The discrimination and
segregation resulting from
the 1858 law are not only
painful to those affected di-
rectly, but must raise doubts
in the minds of those now on
active duty as to how they
may fare when at some day
in the future they too are
Evening star., 1960-06-20

retired. The continuation of
this situation is not only un-
just, but is potentially harm
full to service morale.
The corrective legislation
is uncomplicated, providing
merely that persons retired
before June l, 1858 may
again have their retired pay
computed on the traditional
proportional basis. The i'm
mediate passage Of this legis-
lation will not obstruct any
future study of the retire
ment system. Congress is
already committed to the
proportional basis for those
currently being retired. Only
the constantly thinning ranks
of those already retired on
June /, 1858 have been
penalized, and would now be
benefited by the legislation.
