One of the thorn iest of these Summertime posers is: "What do you do with the family pets when you go on vacation?" Seven Brooklynites discuss the question below and make it sound not so tough after all. JERRY SCHACKNE E. 89th St.

We've moved into a room-ier apartment and Consolidated Edison Company, the Board of Transportation, Department of Sanitation and even the United States Army two weeks ago. Inhibitions have always been alien to this Polish-born veteran of the seas, whose long career in the service offers a wonderful panorama of United States naval history covering two World Wars and the years sandwiched between them. Born in Warsaw then a part of Russian-controlled territory on May 13, 1900, -he was largely impelled toward this country by the inspiration a few Horatio Alger books offered. In March, 1916, he migrated here, arriving penniless and alone, and eight months later he had enlisted as an apprentice seaman hardly able to speak a word of English.

Today his adopted tongue is completely free of accent. Few naval officers, starting so completely from scratch, have advanced as far or as fast as he did. His first taste of smoke control came on the old coal-burning U.S.S. Brooklyn, long known as a "fireman's hell ship." "It was the flagship of the Asiatic fleet," he recalls today, "and for three years I was a fireman and stoker. We burned everything from briquets to soft coal and were forced to do it with little or no smoke.

Here I learned it's not the grade of fuel that makes the difference; it's the way it's burned. A good, clean fire will produce very little smoke." While still aboard the Brooklyn he served as an interpreter with the Siberian Expeditionary Forces at Vladivostok guarding ammunition warehouses during 1917-18 at the height of the Russian Revolution. One day the ship hoisted a red Baker flag at noon, indicating that its personnel was eating. Hundreds of revolutionists immediately began to swarm toward the vessel's pier, thinking that the crew had joined their cause. The quick-thinking Maxwell seized a megaphone and explained the flag's true meaning to the impulsive patriots, thereby averting a man-sized riot.

Later he headed up the Navy's radiological section in directing all naval atomic research. Earlier he had. supervised the lend-lease transfer and manning of United States naval vessels to Russia during World I we are expanding our pet fam ily. We just got this kitten to. dav.

Maxwell By BERT HOCHMAN Rear Admiral William S. Maxwell, a giant of a man tackling a whale of a job, defies the theory held in some quarters that his position as deputy director of the Bureau of Smoke Control is like an irresistible force clashing with an immovable object. The task of cleaning up the city's grime-laden air was tagged as a thankless, hopeless chore in 1949 when the Anti-Smoke Board was formed.

Like the weather, excessive soot and smoke in the local air was something everyone cursed but no one did anything about. In 16 fleeting months, however, Bill Maxwell has kindled a light of hope, pene-. trating both the gloom and the hearts of 8,000,000 long-suffering New Yorkers. "Never mind talk that smoke is Here to stay," he shouts. "We're going clean up this mess!" His -outspoken conviction is bolstered by a background of 34 years in the Navy where the doughty Brooklynite learned about smoke the hard way particularly how to maintain fires without polluting Summer, so there's no pet prob- lent in our wouldn't ORIENTAL BOP SUIT Corp.

Robert is an Annapolis graduate now serving in the Pacific, and a sole daughter, Colleen, was graduated from Packer Institute last June. A licensed boxing referee who numbers Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunney among friends, Maxwell is a registered professional engineer of the State, vice chairman of the Power and Fuel Committee of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers and State chairman of the Smoke Abatement Committee of the National Association of Power Engineers.

A busy man is Admiral Maxwell, who bids fair to make local smoke control a fait accompli in the not too distant future. claims that they were being singled out as scapegoats, while the chief culprits merely received 'requests for co-operation," says Maxwell. "The people of New York are as entitled tq clean air as they are to clean water. Air pollution ip a nuisance expensive to property owners, a constant headache to housewives and not very conducive to the health of anyone. "But" and here the husky, broad-shouldered, retired admiral pounded his desk tor emphasis "we'll never get any place unless our rules are enforced against any and all violators, regardless of who they may be.

The 'kid-glove' method of compliance apparently doesn't work here. We'il just. have to substitute use of the 'big stick' when necessary." As a manifestation of this policy, Maxwell slapped violation citations on the didn't have our own place, the lady next -door would take him. He's pretty big'hut he knows how behave.
