Bill On Auto Permits
Referred Back 10 DC.

A bill to change the system of
issuing permits to drive automobiles
has been referred back to the Corp
Grafton Counsel's Office by the
House District Subcommittee on
Public Service, Streets and Trafic,
following a hearing yesterday.
Washington I. Cleveland, mana
ger Of the District division of the
American Automobile Association,
asked the subcommittee to strike
from the bill a provision which
would authorize free issuance of a
restricted" learners permit to an
applicant 16 years OF age who has
passed all parts of the examination
except the demonstration test. The
provision would entitle the learner
to operate a car only when a Ii
censed motor vehicle driving in
structor Is sitting beside him in the
car & : ,9+
: Mr.. Cleveland objected to issuing
such a license, because it might be
used improperly by the learner. He
suggested instead the bill provide
that any student Is or over enrolled
in a junior high school or high
school drivers training class be
allowed to operate without a permit
a dual-control car If an instructor
is at the other control of the car.
The measure was introduced by
Representative Beall, Republican, OF
Maryland, subcommittee chairman.

Temperature 10 Drop;
Snow Falls in Suburbs

The Weather Bureau, which failed
to predict yesterdays 3-inch snow
fall, did not make the same mis-
take today as 1t forecast cold and
wind with snow f1urries.
The mercury was expected to drop
to near freezing during the day and
to around 18 degrees in the city and
IA in the suburbs tonight. Tomorrow
will be fair and cold.
Snow fell in the outer District
area between 4 and S o'clock this
morning.
Yesterdays 3-inch snow in some
parts of the nearby areas brought
to 3.47 inches the total precipitation
this month.
Fringes Of winter storm which
yesterday hit the Northeastern
Coastal States with full force,
brushed across Virginia, leaving
that State drenched and shivering
from wet snow, and cold, drizzling
rain. Freezing slush, fog and up to
4 inches OF snow hit Maryland in
varying degrees. Western Maryland
was due for more snow today.
Although all Virginia highways
were reported open, the northern
and southwestern regions of the
State lay under snow which reached
q depth of more than 5 inches in
some sections. Police in most Mary
land counties said roads were pass
able and that cindering crews mere
ly were standing by.

Arguments on Covenants
Now Expected Tomorrow

Previously scheduled hearings
before the Supreme Court this
afternoon were likely to postpone
until tomorrow the start of oral
arguments on the restrictive prop
erty covenant issue. The covenant
arguments were to have started this
afternoon. s.y,s.
The Justice Department an
nounced, meanwhile, that Solicitor
General Philip B. Perlman will rep
resent the Attorney General in
opening the arguments. He will dis
cuss the Governments "amicus

barring colored people from owner
ship or occupancy Of residential
properties be declared unconstitu-
tional.
Two District cases and one each
from Detroit and st. Louis are in
volved In the Supreme Court pro-
ceedings. Seven hours have been
allotted for oral arguments, one
hour for the Justice Department,
three for attorneys representing the
anti-covenant group. and three for

Jared in the light OF increased liv-

Later on, postal groups as well
as the various Government en-
ployes unions, will be permitted to
present their cases in favor OF pay
raises.
The LANCER subcommittee will
first consider the postal pay bill,
then the general Federal pay mea-
sure. But the general testimony is
expected to apply to both groups.

CAPITOL ROUNDUP-Newsmen
counted only II members in the
House on Monday afternoon, when
President Truman's Budget message
was being read. The reason for this
is that most Representatives had
managed to get advance copies of
the Presidents text and therefore
knew well in advance what the
budget called for. There have
now been A Government employees
pay bills introduced In the House.
The measures come about equally
from Republicans and Democrats.
IMPORTANT BILL-The Senate
has just passed very beneficial
measure concerning Government
workers.
Sponsored by Senator Thye, Re-
publican, of Minnesota the measure
provides that any Government em-
ploye who has lost his Job through
an error of the Civil Service Com
mission or the agency In which he
was employed, may be paid auto
matically for the time he lost from
his job.
Once the employe were REIN
stated, he could collect the money
due him without having to get a
bill introduced in Congress as is
now the case. The present system
Is very slow, and in many cases the
bills never get passed.
The measure now goes to the
House, where 1t probably will be
referred to the House Civil Service
Committee. There, it is expected,
Chairman Rees will give the mea-
sure prompt consideration.

MI. Parnassus Town
Under Attack by Big
Greek Rebel Force
BY the Associoisd Press

ATHENS, Jan. 14.-Press dis
patches said today a large guer-
rilla force had attacked Arak-
hova on Mount Parnassus, only
20 miles from where the army
started a mopping-up drive yes
terday with an amphibious oper-
alton at Eratini on the Gulf Of.
Corinth.
The dispatches variously reported
the attackers to number from 600
to $500 and said they struck from
three sides at Arakhova, rs miles
northwest of Athens and near Del
phi. The air force harassed the
guerrillas and dropped ammunition
and supplies to the village, the re-
ports said.
Townspeople Of Levadeia, about
Is miles east Of Arakhova, in writ
ten protest to security agencies said
the insurgents in the last few days
had abducted nearly 200 persons
from five villages and, in Distomo,
had executed three young men in
the public square.

In Larisa, court martial SEN
fenced 10 persons to death. In

permanent Job only In the agency
in which he Is now employed.
This has resulted In employees, who
have made high marks in their
exams, being passed over in favor Of
other workers who have made lower
grades. Belatedly, some employees
uow are realizing this and have
asked the commission to certify
them for employment in any agency
in which there may be some open
ings.
The commission is doing this in
all cases in which this request is
made. 1t might be wise for en-
ployes who are wondering why they
haven't obtained permanent ap-
pointments, after passing their tests,
to make sure they aren't similarly
limited in their job opportunities.

At any rate, she wrote the fol-

mission in applying for a job.

NOT OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ment employees groups are pressing
for Federal pay raises with no ap-
parent letup, despite President Tru-
mans expressed opposition to wage
boosts at this time.
The union officials, as well as the
various House and Senate sponsors
of pay bill legislation, express con-
f1dence President Truman eventt-
ally will change his mind and rec
ommend q cost-of- living pay mea-
sure for Government workers.
Some Of this reasoning may be
based more on hope than on logic,
but here is the way their arguments
run: They say 1t doesn't look as if
Congress is going along with Mr..
Truman on his anti-inflation pro-
posals, and then point out the Pres
ident carefully left the door open
for future pay recommendations, if
Congress should not enact his pro-
gram.
Therefore, they say, there is q
good chance Mr.. Truman will ap-
prove pay raise legislation about
April If he decides his anti-inf1a-
tion proposals will be turned down
by Congress. 1855 a.7e.e ~ sss.i44s.,..az4.>

said. "It must work to achieve world

Our policy of relative security
