A WORD of caution--Drive slow
while travelling Peach Avenue
(Catawba Island and Danbury
roads) during the fruit season.
For some reason, city people driv-
ing along these roads seem to
think they can park in the middle
of the road, and then open the
drivers seat door to get out of the
car. We saw numerous instances
of this carelessness Sunday and it
was only with the help of God and
careful drivers that bloody acci-
dents were averted.

CONGRESSMAN Thomas H.
Burke reports that at last
Ohio has won recognition in our
National Capital by having a
street named in its honor. 1t is
one of the incest streets in Wash
ington, too, Burke adds. Former
ly called Riverside Drive, it runs
lhiooSh lhS pdl areas dIouiiu lic
Ericsson, Lincoln and Jefferson
Memorials, and the Washington
Monument, and extends around
Haines Point, one of the most
popular recreation centers along
the Potomac. 1t will probably be
travelled by more tourists than al
most any other street in Washing
ton except, perhaps, famed Penn
sylvania Avenue. Much of the
credit for the naming of Ohio
Drive goes to Rep. Thomas Jen-
kins, 10th District, who made a
strong plea for the change to the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.

Withdrawal Of Iraqis
From Israel Reported
By the Associoisd Press

TEL AVN. Israel. Mar. l.
Iraq regular army troops appear
to be withdrawing from Israel, 1t
was reported here today.
Several thousand Iraqis have
occupied the Nablus triangle IN
Central Palestine about so miles
north of Jerusalem along with
Trans-Jordan Legionalres.
It is assumed their reported
withdrawal is closely linked to the
armistice talks at Rhodes between
Israel and Trans-Jordan, and at
Ras en- Nakura between Israel and
Lebanon. The talks were sched-
uled to open today.
1raq has no common frontier
with Israel. The troops came here
partly through Trans-Jordan and
partly through Syria.
There still is the possibility that
Syria may become a party to the
Israeli Trans Jordan Lebanese
talks or to their eventual de-
cisions.

Veterans opposition stems from
their belief that veterans prefer
ence would be crippled under the
Hoover plan to give agencies
comparatively free hand in hir-
ing and in dismissing employees
in duction-in-force. programs.
Federal employe unions feel like
wise that favoritism and personal
patronage would enter into the
picture to the disadvantage not
only of veterans, but Of nonvet-
Grams as we'll.
The latest opposition to crop
up to the Hoover plan came from
President James G. Yaden OF the
AFL American Federation OF
Government Employees. Mr.. va
den, top Civil Service Commis-
sion employe for more than 80
years before taking his AFGE
post, wrote to President Truman
asserting that the proposals were
impractical. They sound beau
tiful, but they won't work, Mr.
Yaden told the President.
PAY-Chairman O'Conor of the

President Trumans recommended

brought under social security.
The administration does not
seek to bring the rest OF the Gov
ernments 100000 employees un-

few Federal employe groups feel
inclusion of the temporary and
part-time employees would be the
opening wedge in campaign TO
deprive all Government employees
eventually of their liberal civil
service retirement benefits.
A top administration otnclal
told The Star that there is abso-
Ilutely no intention in the world
to deprive Government employees
of their civil service retirement
rights"
F. We're simply concerned over
the complete lack of protection
for those temporary and part
time employees who are not now
covered by any retirement or old
age benefit system" he said. 1T S
simply a humane effort to aid
these people. Those Government
employees groups that oppose the

wrested control of the organiza-
ton from the leftWing group
which has dominated the council
for the last II years.

stormy debate that climaXed when

meeting with about 10 of his sup
porters.
