Cub Scout,0 9,
Saves Sister,
Hair Attire

Nine-year-old Russell Marsh
member of Arlington Cub Scout
Troop 621, did more than q
good deed yesterday.
His Scout training made II
possible for him to save his
three-year-o old sister when her
hair caught fire.
His father, James Marsh, of
3107 Schelhorn road, Fairfax
County, told the story this way:
Little Darlene Marsh was
standing near a burning trash
can in their backyard while her
mother was hanging out wash.
Suddenly a burning piece of
paper flew from the can and
landed on the girls head.
Russell, who was across the
yard, rushed to his sister and
patted her head until the flame
was eXtinguiShed.
AS part of his scout training,
Russell learned how to extin-
guish a fire. His action yester-
day resulted in blisters on his
hands and one side of his face,
his father said.
Part of Darlene's clothing and
hair was burned and she has
blisters on her shoulder, Mr..
Marsh said.

Postal Job Reverse Bias
Is Charged by BroyhiII

ment. His secretary, Mrs. Ellis
said she certainly knew of nc
string-pulling in behalf of her
husband.
Postmaster Beall emphasized
that the superintendent job is
still open. Mr.. Beall said the
assignment of Mr.. Ellis as act
ing superintendent does not
give him an edge for the top
job.
A board made up of Post Of
flee officials will recommend
three names for the job. Mr.
Beall said he will select one OF
the three for the post.
Mr.. Beall also challenged Mr..
Broyhill'S statement that the
order for Mr.. Ellis assignment
had come from the Post Office
Department and that Mr.. Ellis
was not the choice of the local
postmaster. Richard J. Muir
ply, assistant Postmaster Gen.
eral for personnel, said hiring
and promotions in the depart
ment are based or merit.
Mr.. Broyhill is the third
Republican on the full
Civil Service Committee. He
also is the ranking Republican
member of the House District
Committee, which handles leg
islative requests from the Dis
trict Commissioners.

the prom otion Of Mr.. Ellis
came from the Post Office De-
p artm mt and was not the
choice of the local postmaster
While the promotion is made in
the acting capacity, this in
itself is gain in rank. This is
also a device to build up a ia
vored persons experience so as
to make his future permanent
selection look more bonafide."
Mr.. Broyhill, who compared
the job experiences of the two
men in support of Mr.. Powells
qualifications for the promo
ton, said he did not know if the
fact that Mr.. Ellis wife is
Commissioner Duncan's secre-
tary has any connection Ito

gresham suggested tn a the

look into this possibility.

A discrimination in reverse
job complaint against the huS-
band of District Commissioner
John B. Duncan's secretary has
been filed by Representative
Broyhill, Republican of Virgin
Ia.
Mr.. Broyhill has asked a
House subcommittee to investi-
gate the charge that a Negro
employe of the District Post
Office-Ames c. Ellis-is being
given preferential job treat
ment because of his race.
The job in dispute, which
has not yet been filled, is the
post Of superintendent of the
Post Office branch at the Pen
tagon.
District Postmaster Carlton
G. Beall Genied the accusation
of racial bias against a white
employee.
Mr.. Broyhill has asked the
Manpower Utilization Subcom-
mittee of the House Post Office
and Civil Service Committee to
investigate the case.
The subcommittee, hea d e d
by Representative Henderson,
Democrat of North Carolina,
recently began a probe of pos
sible job discrimination against
white Federal workers. The
question is whether the Admin
istration's efforts to encourage
hiring and promotion of Ne
groes in the Government has
resulted in violations of Civil
Service merit laws.
In a letter to Subcommittee
Chairman Henderson, Mr..
Broyhill said he was submitting
details Of:
AN additional case of racial
discrimination in Post Office
Department promotions that I
hope your subcommittee will
thoroughly investigate along
with other incidents where it is
quite apparent that groes
are being shown extreme ia
voritism over white employees"
Transfer Cited
Mr.. Broyhill said the superin-
tendent of the Post Offices
Pentagon branch retired July
81, and that under the merit
promotion system the man who
should get the Job is Afford w.
Powell, who had been assistant
superintendent since Novem-
Der, 1856.
But Mr.. Broyhill said, on July
% Mr.. Ellis, who is the hus-
b a n of Commissioner Dun

from another section of the
District Post Office and as
signed as acting superintendent
of the Pentagon branch.

Skipper Ulrich will later on be moving his family to Kodiak permanently. The Ptarmigan has a crew of five con sisting of. George Ursich, deck hand; Francis Lucich, engineer; Boris Pesa, cook; Francis Pesena, mate. If we had a fleet of vessels this size or larger the competition from the foreign fleets would tend to look less formidable and very conceivably, indeed probably, our fishermen would outfish the aliens and otherwise make the foreign operations less profitable and thus eradicate the threat they pose of vacumming our continental shelf clean of resources.
