the fish folly of 1852 a paradox
on the Potomac"
Senator Morse, Democrat of Ore
gOn, used the term fish hOtel'' and
said the city needed it about as much
as need the Washington Monument in
my front yard or a mammal whale
on my farm"
Senator Lausche, Democrat of
Ohio, complained, Its not intelligent.
II is not even humane"
Members of the defending crew,
headed by Senator Randolph, Demo
crat of West Virginia, relied on less
flamboyant phrases about the places
potential value as a scientific, educa-
tiOnal and entertainment center.
More to the point, perhaps, was
the presence in the Senate of the
indefatigable Mr.. Kirwan, who held a
number of private chats with Vice
President Johnson, Majority Leader.
Mansfield and other important per-
sons. When it was over, the vote for
Mr.. Kirwan and the fish center, now
priced down to SO million, was As to 20.
The windup was cliffhanger. The
9th Congress was nearing adjourn
ment, and the House and Senate bills
now differed over the money ceiling
for the project. The aquarium hackers
felt they had to keep the Senate from
getting another whack at the bill or
they might lose it altogether, because
an end-Ofthe-session Senate filibuster
had been pledged against it.
So, late in the afternoon of Septem-
Der Is, Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee asked the
House for unanimous agreement to
take up and approve the Senate's $40
million version just as it was. Repre-
sentative Gross was not doing, how
ever; he sprang forward again and
his objection sent the bill to the House
Rules Committee, where it was to be
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-10-27

the subject of a memorable session.
Sitting at one end of the long COM
mittee table, Mr.. Kirwan roved over
and around the subject, circling and
crisscrOssing, speaking of such things
as the high cost of the St. Lawrence
Seaway and the fact that the shad and
the sturgeon were vanishing from
Americas waterways.
Then the Congressman wheeled up
two brand-new points:
l. The aquarium would strengthen
family ties. He said, Families that
fish together, stay together"
2. The aquarium was needed to
channel off some of the tourists from
Congress and the White House. He
said, These people need to go some
place and see something that is alive"
The Rules Committee members,
obviously dazzled by his performance,
cleared the measure for House action.
Back on the House floor, the Con-
gresham from Waterloo, Iowa, squared
off against the project once more.
Mr. Gross began by saying that the
$40 million platinum-lined fish bowl"
would never pay its way. He noted
that Boston aquarium had just closed
for lack of patronage. There, in the
center Of the New England fishing in
dustry, he said, the Boston project had
gone where the woodbine twineth and
the whangdoodle whangeth."
Stung by the attack, Mr.. Kirwan
charged that Mr.. Gross had hired a
speech writer. Mr.. Gross snapped: 81
resent that" and later explained that
he had been up until 2 am. working on
his remarks.
Mr.. Gross in a later gO-round de-
clined Mr.. Kirwan's suggestion that
they each put up S. 900 on the question
Of whether the aquarium would or
would not pay for itself in five years.
Mr.. Gross said he was not wearing his
gamblers suit"
At one point before it was over, the
aquarium battle threatened to send
100000 worth of Senator Morse's

of the most encouraging aspects of the first days was that
a number of officials who served under the prior Republican
administration were retained in Office, and this paper, for one,
strongly complmented the Governor.
PERHAPS time has come to begin thinking in

in these Islands, and not following a PARKWAY system, just
because that system sounds good. If we do, we shall be head

THE SPOILS SYSTEM

THE SPOILS SYSTEM
FL EVERY SCHOOL boy knows that to the victor belongs
- snons, and that it was introduced into politics by Andrew
1ooLson saventh President Of the United States. Ever since
thor +ha cvstem has been in use, and national, state, county.
and crv Governments follow it closely. This system has come
- these Islands in recent years, mostly in the form OF hgh
government personnel, beginning with the Governor, VINO,
naturally is appointed from the party Of the appointing
President.
THE. sPOILS SYSTEM may not work in its entirety tor
these Islands, especially in the lower political levels u y
reasons for this are many, and indeed, very valid. In the first
nlace tbe population is too small, and not sufficiently varied
70 afford extensive selection from all levels to satisfy extern
sve political change. Second, there is not sufficient indus
trial development to permit of wholesale change, This second
point calls Tor a word Of explanation.
AS MATTERS now stand, a rather large percentage OF
our people are employed by the Government They develop
skills and abilities in their respective jobs, and look forward
to a long and uninterrupted tenure OF service. Many OF these
men seek to purchase homes an drase families. Once estab-
lshed in a government position, it would be most uncon-
scionable act to disrupt their service because of political
change. In the United States and elsewhere, an employee
leaving government service can become quickly absorbed
into the economic fiber of the community because OF indus
trial development. Not SO here.
u THERE IS more, much more Once the spoils sys-
tenn is carried to its final, minutest detail, then the natural
consequence is a deepseated fear which results in disinte-
grafton. Say what we will, few men have the ability to fly in
the face of political power because it would mean destruction,
in every way. The result is that the party which maintains
the power viii quickly and surely PerPetuate itself, and can
do so on subtle fear. Nothing else will ever be necessary
WHAT is BEING said here is not that the spoils system
should be done away with. Nothing of the sort What we are
saying is that it should not be carried to its ultimate step, 50
that only those who clearly wear a given political label are
assured Of an opportunity for productive employment with

Stratospheric Balloonist, Dr. Jean Piccard, Passes

MINNEAPOLIS R - Dr. Jean Felix Piccard, famed for his strato- spheric balloon flights and cosmic ray research, died today on his 18th birthday.
 Piccard, professor emeritus of aeronautical engineering at the University of Minnesota, died at his home early today. He had had heart trouble for number of years.
 Although he devoted most of his lift to chemistry and chemical re- search, he gained his greatest fame as a stratosphere balloonist.
 He first went up in a balloon in 1913 with a twin brother, Auguste, also a physicist. Twenty-one years later, in 1884, Jean Piccard and his wife ascended nearly II miles in flight that began in Detroit Mich.

 Reports have circulated for weeks that there was a huge short age in the bank-$10 million, $20 million, maybe even $30 million. Some reports said Katangan and Central Congo government notes were missing, and some foreign currency, too.
 The bank has been in U. N. hands since Dec. 28, when JUN. troops took over this city.
 The records available to them indicated that 163 million Katan- gan francs ($2O7 million had dis appeared.

Gov. Eggan Tells Alaskans to Set Their Sights On ''Attainable Goals"

JUNEAU R - Gov. Wm. Egan urged Alaska Saturday to set their sights on "attainable goals, shaping our decisions and bending our eff forts toward reaching them"
 Egan, in remarks delivered at formal inauguration ceremonies in the Juneau-Douglas High School gymnasium, said it was his firm belief that Alaskans want no handouts, but opportunity.
 The Governor, who missed open ing inaugural celebration cere- monies Friday because of a high fever, said there are "some among us who say that we should preserve our Alaska as it is to- day.
 But, I do not believe that this is what the majority of Alaskans want" Egan said.
 "The homesteader wants a road, and he wants school bus to travel that road which will take his child to school. Not just a facsimile of a school, but one where his child can gain an adequate education.
 "The villager wants this, too. And, he wants an airstrip that will provide him with access to the world beyond his village.
 "The fisherman wants fish in his net, and he wants help in re- storing his once-profitable liveli- hood. Further, he wants an ade- quate and safe place to dock his boat.
 ''The farmer wants greater op- portunities to market his produce and lower costs that will enable him to compete with other pro- ducers in other states.
 'The teacher wants salary that will enable him to pursue his pro- fession while maintaining an ade- quate standard of living.
 ''The tradesman and the laborer want more opportunities for year round employment so that they will not have to sit idle for half the year while their skills become blunted.
 ''This not the wistful yearn- ing of primitive or Spartan people for chance to lose themselves in wilderness isolation. This is the unmistakable expression of reason able people striving for better lives within the framework of a civilized, interdependent society"
