f # davit of Jack Wise, Pontiac, who spent $ THE SUNDAY CHARLESBUEAEY [ —~or DS .S SERVEE Reaches Age Limit of 70, but Wiil Enter Private Busi- ness Next Week. When .a man arrives at the age of 70 years in the Government service, he is retired by law. But if. at that age, he feels as a man of 50 ought to feel, there can be no retirement. Such was the philosophy of Charles Buckey ©f 1401 Twelfth street. When learned men in the Bureau of Btandards gathered around Mr. Buckey one day last week and shook his hand on the occasion of his retirement, he observed that some might find satis- faction in whiling away a ripe old age in idleness but not he. Whereupon the f0-year-old master mechanic entered upon a brief period of negotiating and next week he enters private business in the employ of a- well known Wash- gton firm of electrical ehgineers. , “I know the Government has 'to have a retirement age limit," he com- mented. “But it doesn't make me feel any older. I am in good health and can work as hard and as long as I did 18 years ago.” Began Work at Age of 13. Since 1873, when he went to work in the Rock Islancd Arsenal at the age of 18, Mr, Buckey has worked on mechani- cal apoaratus and machines ranging ¢ from great locomotives to fine tools used in the manufacture of watches. He repaired locomotives for the old Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Rail- road and during a period of 20 years made tools for the Illinois Watch Co In 1918 he wrote a letter to' the Covernment and volunteered his serv- ices as A war worker and the Govern- ment, glad to draft a skilled mechanic, called him to the Bureau of Standards. He had been in the burean since that ar, and for the last seven years had n at work on the electronometer which Dr. H. B. Brooks of the bureau invented. ‘This device, which in its perfected stage will compute accurately the volt- age any machine is capable of carrying up to 300,000 volts, has afforded M. Buckey the most interest. Experts in the bureau have devised a machine which computes the voltage by weighing a form of attraction between two alum- inum disks and Mr. Buckey constructed the greater part of it under their di- Tection. ‘Commenting on his work, Mr. Buckey recalled the manufacture of platinum welghts, each weighing 20 milogra: or one-fifteenth of a gram, for inser- tion in one of the delicate instruments in the complicated machinery of the electrometer. Nothing Like Early Work. In making the weights, each of which was smaller than a pinhead, he wes allowed an infinetesimal variance. The only way he could compute the variance ‘was to weigh a piece of paper the size of a finger nail. Then he made a ncil mark on the paper and weighed and computed e weight of the lead mark. In making the weights he was to turn them out so that no two of them would vary more than one- tenth ‘the weight of the leads on the iln’xhpiece of paper. at 18 work, he said, “but nothirg compared with what I did as a youth. Why, I've worked 13 hours with a great file sawing away broken parts on a locomotive,” he said, ‘gone home, bathed my face and hands, and taken my girl to a dance. We'd dance until 4 o'clock and I'd go home, sleep an hour and one-half and then go back for another 13 hours, That was work, not watch-making or platinum-weight making, but work.” At 70, Mr. Buckey has one message for the younger generation. “Tell all of them who are thinking of entering the mechanical world, to make a gare of m':q: work,” he said. “That's what 10 SEIZED IN RAID ON RADICAL GROUP Children Taught Soviet Doctrines Under Orders From Russia, Say Police.

BY WILLIAM HARD. There is no finer standard stock story in Washington, and none more deserving of public civic thought, than the one that is illustrated by the resig- nation this last week of Roy A.

His successor in the position of serve Board, Walter F. Logan, resigned to become ultimately ‘deputy governor of the New York bank at a large salary advance. Double and Triple Pay. James F. Herson, chief examiner for | the Federal Reserve Board, at a salary of $14,000, resigned to become the | plesident of & bank in New York City and his immediate subordinate, James | F. Buchanan, resigned to become vice president of & bank in Chicago; and it | is calculated that each of these gentle- | men thus doubled or tripled his income. Yet the Federal Reserve Board is one of the financially most generous of Pederal governmental bodies. It is not restricted by the iron rulings of the Civil Service Commission or of the Personnel Classiffcation Board. It pays s much as $14,000 & year to its secre- tary, Walter L. Eddy. Mr. Eddy is thus & lot luckier than the secretaries of most other Federal enterprises. The secretary of the United-States Tariff Commission, who is crowned by the Personnel Classification Board with the decorative and deserved title of “‘chief administrative officer,” has been getting a salary of $6,400. The Con- gress, in the course of enacting the present tariff Iaw, raised him in an adventurous moment from $6,400 to $7,500. It simultaneously took thought of the gigantic duties under which the new law will confront the six gentle- men who will be the actual members of the Tariff Commission and who will direct the secretary in his labors. The six present members of the commission have been getting $9,000. Senator Was Shocked. Arbiters in a considerable degree of the economic United States and the foreign world, and therefore in a considerable degree determiners of our domestic economic conditions in problems involving hun- dreds of millions of dollars, they seemed to the Congress, in their own persons or in the persons of their suc- cessors, to be worthy of large financial consideration. ‘The House of Repre- sentatives accordingly proposed to raise their salaries from $9,000 to $12,000. The President gave to this proposal his earnest nu:a)on, A Senator, however, was shocked by the extravagant tend- encies thus disclosed. He felt intu- itively that noboby was worth $12,000 & year. Tnder his remonstrances the proposed new salaries for members of the Tariff Commission were cut down from $12,000 to $11,000. The commission members, however, can be regarded as recelving for their remuneration, in addition to money, a certain amount of publicity and pres- tige. They are political public charac- ters. Herbert Hoover, when he was Becretary of Commerce, is said to have put aside an offer of $200,000 a year from private interests in order to keep on bing Secretary of Commerce at $12,- 000. He was perhaps the more easily enabled to pursue that course in con- sideration of his own personal financial resources and in consideration also of the proximity of the Commerce De- partment Building to the White House. ‘The White House is not so ¢los in pros- pect to the technical experts of the Tariff Commission staff upon whom the tremendous daily detail of the vast new tasks of the commission will devolve. They are paid at rates which make the rival rates paid by private businesses seem to them often to be compellingly attractive. Others Get Raise in Salary.

N. Watson, another high chemical expert, left the commission staff and $6,000 a year to serve a_chemical assoclation at some $15,000. Benjamin B.
