Star Staff Writer

President Kennedy has d.
rected Federal agencies to take
positive steps" to assure older
employees in Government "fair
and full consideration" for
promotion and advancement.
In a memorandum sent to
all departments and agencies,
Mr.. Kennedy said this policy
also must apply to older per-
sons seeking Federal employ
ment.
The President said in the
memorandum:
The Federal Government
has been an exemplary en-
ployer i'll this regard. There
is no age restriction on ap-
pointments to competitive posi-
tions.
However, with older persons
constituting an ever-increasing
proportion OF the Nations work
force and with growing evil
dence that older persons are
capable Of the highest quality
work, Federal appointing Off
GERS shall take positive steps to
insure that current practice
carries out this policy.
%Older persons must receive
fan and full consideration for
employment and advancement
in the competitive service. Per-
sonnel actions should be based
In accordance with merit prin-
ciples. solely on the ability oi
candidates to meet qualifica-
tion requirements and physical
standards OF the position to be
filled"
Mr.. Kennedy said that all
departments and agencies were
also to review policies and
practices in non-civil service
Jobs regarding older employees
and follow the same principle;
as those for the competitive
service.

Now everything concentrated on exhaustive
preparation for what promised TO become one Ofthe
biggest manhunis in FBI history. The plan was to
put mobile agents near the Sunset Limited at all
times so they could race to the spot where the mail
bag was thrown out at the sign Of the strange
flashing light Movements Of the small army IN

a 2S-watt iransmitter stationed in the cab Of the
locomotive would broadcast running report on the
trains progress and announce the moment when
the mailbag was dropped. Other agents would be
posted at the rear Of the strcamliner.
Agents with handie-ialkies were assigned to
patrol ON foot until the train cleared the Los Angeles
yards. Agents in cars equipped with twOway radios
would pace the train and rove the crossroads.
Initial direction as the task force moved into

Details Of these preparations were flashed from
Los Angeles to the other seven divisional Offices
through which the Sunset would pass, and special
agents from Arizona to Louisiana made their own
duplicate plans 10 take over the surveillance. When
the train entered their territory they would put
fresh agents in the locomotive cab - men who
were thoroughly familiar with the terrain. for

guard against radio backouts when the train was in

HelcOpters and pilots were borrowed from the

scale meeting was held at headquarters there. The
master schedule was gone over and assignments
made.
The Southern Pacific railroads shop was making
two metal boxes to carry the payOE package. We
could NOT overlook the possibility that we might
mistake the flashing signal and toss out the money
too soon. To guard against such an error, second
dummy package was prepared.
To serve as evidence in court when we had our
man, letter addressed ITO Whom 1t May Concern"
was placed in each package. On the back Of the
sheets appeared an invisible notation which would
show up under HuOrescent light Special identity
ing marks also appeared ON each mailbag and inside
the metal boxes. Each bag was scented with drops
Of room deodorant which gave off an aromatic
odor. The mailbags and the inside Of the metal
boxes we're busted with an invisible powder which
would show up on the criminals hands under
Auorescent light.
That Friday afternoon at 3:l5- the phone
rang in the Office Of the railroad official to whom the
extorliOn letter had been addressed The secretary
answered, saying that the official was out arranging
a night meeting The caller asked If letter had
been received about such meeting and was told it

nature Of the strange flashing light" Would it be

As the FBI had instructed, the secretary asked
If the signal would come east or west Of Beaumont

Book Borrowing

AS every bibliophile knows, it Is
much harder to retain a book than
to obtain one. This is particularly true
when one is cursed with an abundance
of friends who also like bookS-eSpe-
cially your books-and who also believe
that possession is nine points of law.
Somehow one manages to grudg-
ingly forgive the Short-memoried Dor
rover, perhaps on the notion that If
he admireS the book too much to give
it up, he also is flattering your own
taste in literature. Few lasting riffs in
friendships, presumably, have developed
from unreturned books, even though a
nagging resentment lies Just under the
surface.
1t was surprising to learn, recently,
that this polite and Semi-legal thievery
has reached alarming wholesale pro-
portions in the Brooklyn IN. " Library
system. The Chief Librarian reported
that almost 100000 volumes, valued at
$500,000, disappear annually. Now this
seems to pose much different problem
than the well-intentioned private trans
action. Surely not all those Brooklyn
memory lapSeS were unprecedented.
Oddly, the heavy losses are con-
centrated in Brooklyn alone of the New
York boroughs. Brooklyn has been
forced to adopt much tougher identi-
fication requirements to head off phony
names and addresses of borrowers.
Washington, it is good to know,
is playing the game rather honestly.
Compared with Brooklyn's Topper cent
losses, the 10 District buildings report
less than 2 per cent year from a dis
tribution Of some 8 million volumes.
BY far the greatest number of public
book borrowers want to share to the
fullest the lending-learning spirit of
Andrew Carnegie.

The Fabulous Keurns

Long before his eventful life was
spent, Jack Kearns had become as much
a part Of Americana as Diamond Jim
Brady, Bet-a-Million Gates or Buffalo
Bill Cody. In the golden age of sports he
guided the destinies and shared the
riches Of Jack Dempsey, Mickey Walker
and others. He had the natural gift for
showmanship of Barnum, the glibness
of a carnival barker, the kind of instinct
that would convert Dempsey from drift
er to world champion in two years. He
had the magic touch that created the
first million-dollar boxing gates.
Doc Kearns made and spent money
like water and, true to his type, never
regretted the ways he made it or how
he spent 1t. Along life's highway, he
conned many a sucker, but he spread
the fruits of his ingenuity widely and
lavishly, and 1t is safe to suppose he
gave more happiness than he took away.
Storybook-like, his adventures began
in the Klondike gold rush. Typically,
at 30, still searching for the new Demp-
sey, he said to his son with his last
breath: I'VE have to get ready and get
on the ball and go to Nevada" Jack
Kearns spirit never ran down; only the
body which housed 1t.

Shame in CHICAGO

If there is one American Negro who
has proved his right to be heard in
current discussions, surely 1t is James H.
Meredith.
Last year, while becoming the first
Negro knowingly admitted to the Uni
verSity Of Mississippi, Mr.. Meredith
moved quietly about his business in the
face Of riots, personal threats, name
calling and daily indignity. 1t is no
exaggeration to say he laid his life on
the line. His calm determination and
his steadfaSt refusal to return evil in
kind were an example to all Americans.
Last week in Chicago Nj. Meredith
was viciouSly attacked from the plat
form of an NAACP youth meeting for
his counSelS Of moderation and for his
criticism Of the "low quality and
ineffectiveneSS of our Negro youth
leaders" After SleepleSS night, Mr..
Meredith left the convention early,
confesSing that he had cried his first
tears since childhood.
AS 1t happens, we agree with much
Of what Mr.. Meredith had to say. We do
not think 1t wise, for example-or EVIL
dence of maturity-for the Negro rights
movement to pin so many Of its hopes
upon so irrelevant and dangerous mass
gesture as the proposed march on Wash
ington next month. In counSeling mod
Grafton, Mr.. Meredith is repeating the
pleas of the President and of the Attor-
ney General of the United States. But
the point is not really that Mr.. Meredith
is right and his critics wrong-or vice
versa.
The point is that in its conduct
toward Mr.. Meredith, toward Mayor
Daley of Chicago and toward the Rev.
James H. Jackson, the NAACP has dram
affixed the crisis of attitude that has
overtaken the Negro drive for equal
rights. If the mood is so hot and hard
that the elite of the movement cannot
even listen to honest discussion among
friendS-if the only voice that can be
heard is that of the extremiStS-it bodies
ill for the success Of this second
American revolution.

Travel Theropy

II, like many others, you've been
waiting to find out what benefits &C
crued from the Presidents recent trip
to Europe, wait no longer. The Stars
columniSt, Charles Bartlett, reported
Sunday that the results are in. The
whirlwind trip to three transitional
governments and one green and misty
island has done good work. 1t relieved
the presidential backache.
The chronic pains were bad on de-
parture, gone completely on return.
Proof of the fast, fast, fast relief came
over the holiday week end. The Presi-
dent sailed, swan, watershed, flew a
kite and even played some golf, long
considered risky from several points of
view.
AS concerned as anyone about Jacks
back, we suggest that some of the new
therapy can be found at home without
all the trouble of travel.
A visit to the Irish, for instance,
can be had without even leaving the
White House. If milling with the crowds
is required, the NAACP is thoughtfully
arranging for millable crowds right here
in town.
And If the stimulation of bucking a
stubborn and unyielding ally is what
turns the trick, Mr.. Kennedy need look
no further than some Of the Democrats
at the other end of Pennsylvania avenue
