.tabled an environment for serv
ice efficiency and co-operation
which has added greatly to the
armed strength of this country.”
Mr. Thomas called Mr. Talbott
;an “old friend” and said that
while he held the air secretary-
Iship Relationships between the
Air Force and Navy “have never
been better.”
Is Deeply Moved
Mr. Talbott, who was deeply
moved at his retirement parade
yesterday afternoon at Bolling
Air Force Base, said that he
"loved my 2 1 2 years’ association
with the Air Force and with
you.”
Yesterday at Bolling Air Force
Base Mr. Talbott stood stiffly at
attention at the right hand of
Defense Secretary Wilson, with
whom he was reported to have
had some harsh words earlier in
the day.
The fly-over of fast jet planes
in which he has had a big hand
in procuring for the Air Force
'was not as originally planned 1 !
however. Instead of the 1,500
planes. including 10 intercon
tinental B-52 atom bombers,
which Mr. Talbott had hoped to
see fly past, only 10 B-47 jet me
dium bombers roared overhead
early in the ceremony. Hurricane
Connie kept the other planes
away from this area.
Hears Citation
Before the parade began Mr.
Talbott stepped down from the
reviewing stand for the presen
tation. of the colors as the band
played the national anthem.
Then he turned and an airman
read the Medal of Freedom
citation signed by Mr. Wilson,
Earlier, in Mr. Wilson's office,
where the new Air Secretary
designate. Donald A. Quarles,
met the press, Mr. Talbott was
reported as having accused the
Defense Chief of failing to stand
up for him with his troubles
with outside business connec
tions.
While photographers were
snapping pictures. Mr. Talbott
beckoned to Mr. Wilson and
walked with him to a corner
of the big office, saying. “I don’t
like what you said at your news
conference about being dis
tressed about the whole business
of my resignation.”
Mr. Wilson started, in a low
voice, to explain what he had in
mind, but Mr. Talbott was re
ported to have interrupted to say
"You haven’t done one thing to
defend me.”
Aide Interrupts
At that point an aide sum
moned both officials to pose for
photographs with Mr. Quarles.
Mr. Talbott issued a prompt
denial of the incident. He said
he asked Mr. Wilson to step to
the corner so that he could con-

ESSO RAISES PRICE
OF HEATING OIL IN
PAINLESS CHANGE
The Esso Standard Oil Co.
has raised its price on home
heating oil, but the Wash
i ington office says it won t
cost the customer any more.
Prices were raised by a
quarter of a cent a gallon to
14.35 cents. But buyers at
any point who get oil during
the summer are guaranteed
the lowest price reached by
oil throughout the season
Why do it then? *The
manager of the Washington

Background of Quarles
Includes Science, Politics
By JOHN A. GILES
Donald A. Quarles, who will
be stfom in as Air Force Secre
tary early next week, grew up
in a “Democratic community”
where "I didn’t realize there were
any good Republicans,” he told
reporters today.
It was not until 1920 when he
joined the “Good Government
Party”__in Englewood, N. J., that
he became identified with the
Republican Party. Later he was
elected Mayor as a Republican
and as a member oMhe Bergen
County Sewer Commission, ‘got
some real practical lessons in
politics.”
The 61-year-old Quarles is
quiet, unassuming and soft- ]
spoken. Although he has been
around the Pentagon for two 1
years as Assistant Defense Secre- j
tary for research and develop- '
jment, he has seldom been In the
| headlines.
| A native of Van Buren, Ark., j
jhe graduated first in his high ]
j school class. "But it was not,
;a very large class,” he says
modestly. |
There was a shortage of teach- (
ers in those days, and Mr. ,
! Quarles, Jhen 16, was advised ;
ithat if he would get “all the ,
! learning I could in summer i
schools, I could get a job teach-j]
iing.”
| He attended the University of ,
] Missouri for three summers, ,
teaching mathematics in the (
-'Van Buren High School In the |
s intervening seasons, ofe of his 1

pupils was Bob Burns, the en
tertainer who became famous
for his bazooka playing.
Perhaps It was from Mr. Burns
that Mr. Quarles got some of
his sense of humor.
His grandfather, a Mississippi
plantation owner, died as a
prisoner of the Federal troops
in the Civil War. The family
holdings were wiped out. Theie
fore, his father moved on to
Arkansas. Where he uecame a
pioneer in dentistry In that
State. Mr. Quarles said he grew
up in modest circumstances.
In 1912, Mr. Quarles entered
Yals University and graduated;
four years later with a B.A. de- ]
gree. The following year he en- j
tered Officers Candidate School
and after two years in France
and Germany was discharged
with the rank of captain In the
field artillery. He says that he,
did not see much action, although
attached to the famed Rainbow
Division, since he spent most of
his time instructing others in
the art of field artillery.
Returning In 1919, he was em
ployed by the Western Electric
Co., in its engineering depart-;
ment whiclj later became the
Bell Telephone Laboratories. As
a part-time student at Columbia
University during these years,
he studied theoretical physics.
Mr. Quarles describes himself
as an engineer rather than a
scientist, although he has had
connections with various scien
tific developments. This included
the presidency of Sandia Corp.,
the Western Electric subsidiary
which operates Sandia Labora
tory in New Mexico for the
Atomic Energy Commission.
Mr. Quarles, who lives at 3041
Porter street N.W., likes to put
ter around the house and says
that he hat “come to like dish
washing quite well through force
of habit” in recent years.
He used to consider himself
quite a good tennis player, he
says, and still plays occasionally.
He played golf before he “got
diverted from it in Washington.”
But there are “better golf play
ers in government tlym I am,”
he says with a laugh.
A nonsmoker, he “gave up
drinking some years ago for
reasons other than moral.”
Mr. Quarles is 5 feet 8
inches tall, has graying black j
hair, and has managed to main- ]
tain a steady weight of 140
] pounds over the years without!
| particular exercise or diet.
He is fond of music and a
proud grandfather. By a former;
marriage, he has two daughters
and a son. Mrs. Quarles has a
daughter by a former marriage.
He says that he will "divest
myself of any holdings In my
modest list of securities that
might conceivably involve any
confliet of interest."
When he was confirmed In his
present position, he satisfied the
| Senate that he had severed all
business interests which would;
have any conflict with that job.
