Such was retirement last week for John Robbins Mohler, 68, head of the U.S. Bureau of Animal Industry, a man who never wanted another title but that of public servant. An OWI announcement merely said that John Mohler had succeeded in his work "in spite of many obstacles." Yet in his 46 years with BAI, John Mohler had" become the archetype of thousands of Government workers who serve their country well, grinding away at their jobs, oblivious of politicians and political upheavals. He had done more than any other American to rid the country of the dread diseases that plague...

Just a few months back (along with some 75,000 like him) the new civil servant had landed in the Capital, his fever patriotically high, his eyes star-spangled, his shoes freshly whitened. He had pitched in to help win the war. Things looked different now. Now he cursed his Congressman, his tortured sinus, his lumpy boardinghouse bed, the humid streets, the dismal food, the bus service. Mostly, this week, he brooded about his tardy paycheck...
...Griswold was and would be with deadly accuracy: For gotten, save only by those whom he has injured and insulted, he will sink into oblivion, without leaving a landmark to tell that he once existed; or, if he is spoken of hereafter, he will be quoted as the unfaithful servant who abused his trust.
