Hy fhe Associcted press

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. Vincent
Sardi. who came to America as an
italian immigrant boy nearly 40
years ago, Is about to seek the first
extended rest he has ever known,
leaving behind him the famed res
taurant that has become a tradi-

Sardi, who started his restaurant
career in the '90s as q 12-year-old
dishwasher ina 'London restaurant,
Is retiring February 5--but like most
men who have known little leisure
he isn't sure that he can be happy

Based on Time in Service
BY the Assesiaisd Press

BUFFALO, N. Y, Jan. 4.-Federal
Judge John Knight yesterday up
held the Crosby Co.'S refusal to
grant returned war veterans vaca-
tion pay given other employees on
the ground the veterans were not
working during the time on which
the pay was based.
Judge Klaaght, ruling on the claim
of DouglaST. Dwyer of Hamburg,
for a weeks vacation pay Of $38 so,
said military service could not be
considered private employment In
figuring vacation pay. Similar
claims have been filed by SO other
employees who were on military
leave from the steel stamping firm.
Judge Knight said he believed his
decision was the first in a case of
this sort.
Government attorneys represent
ing Mr.. Dwyer had argued that a
veteran restored to his position after
military service was, under the
Selective Service law, entitled to
participate in insurance and other
benefits granted other employees
Including vacation pay"

Mrs. hagruder Named
Arlington Board Head;
Hanrahan Still Clerk
r

In an unexpected move, the
Arlington County Board today
elected Mrs. Elizabeth b. Magruder
chairman for the coming year.
The vote was 81, with Mrs.
Magruder not voting. Election Of
the only woman member came after
q motion to elect Basil De Lashmutt
was defeated, 80. Mrs. Magruder
was nominated by r. Freeland Chew
and the nomination was seconded
by Mr.. De Lashmutt. Daniel A.
Duean, who took his seat as a MEM
ber of the board today for the first
time, nominated Mr.. De Lashmutt
and was seconded by Leo Lloyd.
The vote taken on Mr.. De LASH
NUTS nomination was defeated
when the nominee voted. against
himself.
It had generally been believed
that Mr.. De Lashmutt would be
elected chairman since it was his
turn" other former members Of
the board having served in that
post since he had last held 1t. Mrs.
Magruder, who has been in Ill
health, has announced recently that
she will not be a candidate for re-
election In the fall and had indi-
Gated that she would not consider
the Craftsmanship.
A move to replace, as clerk to the
board, County Manager Frank c..
Hanrahan and install A. T. Lund-.
berg, director of county services,
was defeated. Mr.. De Lashmutt,,
who moved that Mr.. Lundberg be
and Mr.. Dugan, who Sec
onded the motion, voted against Mr..
Hanrahan. The post of clerk to
the board, while always held by the
county manager, does not AFFECT his
primary duties.
Mr.. Dugan sat officially for the
first time after having defeated the
former chairman, Edmund D.
Campbell, Democrat, in the No
