Series of ? Articles Clarifies
Civil Service Fund Benefits

lresign because you believe you are
in temporary poor health and If yol,
have not recovered within six
months. file claim for disability
benefits. The Civil Service Com
mission will then determine whether
your disability disqualifies you for
useful work. But regardless of the
severity of your illness, you will get
nothing if you wait too long.
Incidentally, it has been asked
whether resignation on account of
illness or disability prior to five
years service, is voluntary" or "in-
voluntary" for purposes of refunds
If the latter, the refund would in
clude the individual account plus
"tontine." If the former, only the
individual account IS returnable.
The answer is, fair or not. that
such separations are voluntary" so
that the tontine of ST for each
month of service is deducted All
Withdrawals occasioned by fault or
choice of the employe, whether or
not voluntary" in the sense that
the employe acts himself, are con-
sidered voluntary" Transfer to a
Government position outside the
scope of the Retirement Act also is
voluntary" Generally speaking
involuntary designations are limited

Wise County Decision
To Determine Outcome
Of Collins Contest
= the Associated Press.


RICHMOND. Va. Sept 2S.-Judge
Julien Gum of Richmond City Cir
cult Court will hear arguments to-
day on whether Wise County ballots
IN the August 7 primary should be
thrown out for fraud, and on his
decision may rest the result of the
contest brought by L. Preston Col
Inns against Charles r. Fenwick OF
Arlington, Democratic nominee for
Lieutenant Governor.
Attorneys for Mr.. Collins admitted
that unless they succeed in eliminat-
ing the Wise votes, or at least a SUBJ
stantial part of them, the runnerur
in the primary cannot hope to con-
tinue his fight.
Attorneys for Mr.. Fenwick have
agreed that If the Wise vote is in
validated they can hardly hope tc
overcome the loss of the heavy ma
jority there by contests in four coun.
ties in the fourth district, where Mr.
Collins received lopsided majorities
The argument before Judge Gunr
will be limited to the issue in Wise
County, where Is of the countys 21
poll books are missing.
In Cumberland County four wit
nesses testified before Judge Joel w
Flood at an investigation yesterday
into alleged election Irregularities

FWA Reiterates
Child Centers 10
Oct. 81
DoyIe's Proposal
For 5-MiIIion Fund
Keeps Hope Alive

Hopes that the child care centerS
might be continued during the re-
conversion period suffered new
blow today when spokesman for
the Federal Works Agency made
clear that it's administrator, Maj
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, had found
no reason to change his plan to
liquidate them October 81.
The centers here and elsewhere
said a public relations officer fol
Gen. Fleming, will be closed at the
end of next month, as previously
planned, unless Congress should
order their continuation as a Fed
eral function and provides neces-
sary appropriations.
On Capitol Hill there was a pro.
posal and promise of considera.
ton which kept dwindling hopes
alive.
Representative Doyle, Democrat
of California introduced a bill au.
thorizing a s5,O0o,o00 appropriation
to continue operation of the center.
through the reconversion period.
Cannon Promises Consideration.
At the same time, Chairman Can
non of the House Appropriations
Committee, while not volunteering
to sponsor further appropriation
for the centers, promised his COM
mittee would give consideration tc
such proposals, If they were SUBJ
mitted. He suggested this question
was one to be determined by the
FWA and the Budget Bureau.
He noted that the child care
centers constituted a Government
wartime activity and that his COM
mittee now is working at TOP
speed" to close down war agencies
and to recapture monies appro-
priated for them and no longer
needed, now that the war had ended
The spokesman for Gen. Fleming
said the FWA administration con-
sidered that his plan for closing the
Federal operation of the centers had
been confirmed, in a sense, by the
statement issued Wednesday by
Chairman Lanham of the House
Public Buildings and Grounds Com
mittee.
Seen as Administrative Matter.
Mr.. Lanham said the question OF
continuing the centers was an ad-
ministrative rather than legisla
tive matter and Gen. Fleming's
spokesman noted that this sug.
gested no disapproval of his earlier
announced intention to liquidate the
centers by the end of next month.
Gen. Fleming was represented as
feeling he had no other choice since
Federal operation of the centers was
authorized as war measure and
the war had ended; and. that con-
tinuation of the centers on a peace
time basis, or as a municipal OF
State operation. was beyond his
purview

Park in lusby Area
Would Aid Calvert,
Maryland Board Says
BY the Associated Press.


ANNAPOLIS. Md, Sept 28.-De-
velopmert of a bayside State park
in the Lusby area of Calvert County
would contribute many lasting bene-
fits to that area, the Board of Pub
lie Works stated yesterday in a re-
port to the Board of Natural Re-
sources.
Revenue paid the county govern
ment out of park operating receipts
should amount to several times the
tax payments now received from
property proposed for inclusion in
the park, the summary stated, add
ing that total production and trade
in the county should be materially
increased and property values en-
hanced.
Calvert County is essentially agri-
cultural in character, but for the
most part, soils are considered poor
and badly eroded, the commission
reported.
Fortunately, these badly eroded
and depleted soils are well suited to
tobacco the report read, "and as
long as the tobacco market con-
tinues good, the farmers of the
county are not too badly affected.
Only Three Small Towns.
chesapeake Beach, North Beach
and Solomons are the only incor-
porated towns. Their total popula-
ton is about $40 persons. About As
per cent of the population of the
county is colored"
The State Planning Commission
strongly urged development of the
proposed park ir Calvert County
declaring its establishment would
give impetus to widespread water
front development and provide the
means of increasing the welfare of
county residents through stimula-
ton Of other secondary businesses
required to service tourist and pleas
ure traffic so induced.
The area proposed for purchase
includes about 2,l00 acres-approXi-
mately IL per cent of the county
total. ~~4 -

government would lose S825 per year
in taxes through purchase of the
Lusby site by the State
The State is required to pay the
county Is per cent of all revenue
received in the process of operat-
ing the State park. Such revenue
will result from sales of timber,
parking and admission charges and
payments from concessionaires, the
commission said. 1t estimated tim
ber sales would amount to about
1869 per year
Plan 100 Cabins.
One hundred cabins are planned
at weekly rental of S25 for a To-
week season, producing $4,000, IL
per cent of which would amount
to $3.50.
Total seasonal attendance at the
park for all purposes is estimated
at 100000 persons, and 28,570 cars
are expected to produce parking rev.
enue estimated at $14,285, of which
Is per cent would amount to 81, LAB
Revenue from concessionaires will

mated, and give the county S1,150
