BILL ASKS RETURN
OF 9DEDAY LEAVE
Second Measure Before
House Would Extend
Sick Leave Schedule.

Bills designed to restore the 30-day
annual leave in the Government serv-
ice and extend the 30-day sick leave
to all Federal workers were introduced
in the House yesterday at the request
of E. Claude Babcock, president of the
American Federation of Government
Employees.
At the same time, the District Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees began a
fight for repeal of the marital status
law. Resolutions adopted by this Or
ganization declared this law, which
requires separation of either husband
or wife from the Government service
when forces are reduced, as unjust" p"
Democrats Offer Bills.
Two of the sick and annual leave
bills were introduced by Representa-
tive Zioncheck, Democrat, of Wash
ington. and the third by Representa-
tive Connery, Democrat, of Massachu-
settS
The Zioncheck measure would in
crease the annual leave from Is to 80
days by amending a section of the
economy act. The measure. however.
does not repeal the economy act pro-
vision which reduced the vacation
leave because that provision permits
Government workers to accumulate
this leave
The companion bill would extend
the sick leave to all Government en-
ployes alike There are now num-
Der of scattered bureaus which be-
cause of what Babcock describes as
''Quirks in the law" are denied the
benefit of sick leave. These include
the Bureau of Engraving and Print
ing and the mail equipment shop.
Five-Day Week Pronpsed.
The independent Offices appropri-
alton act would be amended under
the Connery bill to permit certain
bureaus to establish a five-day' week
without loss in wages to per-diem
employees. Controller General Nc
Carl has ruled that the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing could not
adopt a<fve-day week under present
law without a loss in pay to about
5000 per-diem workers.
The Connery bill also would pro-
hibit overtime work by Government
employees unless they are paid for the
extra work or unless the time is
credited to annual leave.

SPECIAL D. c. DAY
MAY Be ASKED
Fi|ibuster RobS Calendar OF
Time Needed for %
Measures.

With % District bills on the House
calendar awaiting action. members OF
the District Committee planned today
to appeal to Speaker Rainey to set
aside special day next week for con-
sideration- -of this legislation.
A filibuster, combined with some
parliamentary tactics in the House
yesterday, robbed the District of the
time previously reserved for considera-
ton of the District bills. Another
regular District Gay is unlikely at the
current session of Congress, and unless
special day is arranged a number OF
important District bills are destined
to die on the calendar.
Much Time Wasted.
Despite the fact that only District
legislation was scheduled for con-
sideration yesterday, Majority Leader
Byrns permitted consideration first of
an appropriation bill to enforce the
cattle and cotton processing tax laws
He had been promised the measure
would be disposed of in about Is
minutes.
The House, however. wrangled over
the processing tax bill for nearly three
hours and when the District calendar
finally was reached, Representative
Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, raised
a point OF no quorum and forced ad-
journment. The Democrats willingly
supported the adjournment move in
an effort to block the signing of petit
tionS to force action on the Mcleod
bank bill, the Frazier-Lempke mort
gage bill and the Connery 3o-hour-
week bill.
Age Pension Called Up.
The old-age pension bill was the
first measure called up by Representa-
tive Palmisano, Democrat. of Mary
land, acting chairman of the House
District Committee when the District
calendar was reached. He also moved
that all debate cease, so that i'm
mediate action could be taken. The
House supported him by a vote of
ITO to 9.
Blanton Immediately raised the point
of no quorum, and Palmisano realizing
the futility of trying to get quorum,
moved for adjournment.
Previously, Palmisano had asked
unanimous consent that next Wednes-
day be scheduled as District day be-
cause of the late start on the District
calendar, but Blanton objected.
