! IL would have been certain that
/ these thousands OF jobs would
have been eliminated.
/ Here is the situation. In past
years the House always has been
the group to cut budget requests.
and the Senate has nearly always
restored part Of the cuts. But the
Senate's action several weeks ago
in recommitting the Labor Fed
eral Security 1850 money bill back
I to committee for reductions meant
that the sharp House budget cuts
would be slashed even greater by
the Senate.
| The Senate's action, however. In
reversing its vote OF several weeks
ago means that many Jobs will be
saved. In addition TO eliminating
the possibility OF still further per-
sonnel reductions.
| The Administration. which had
been caught mapping by the Re-
publicans on the Labor Federal
Security bill. was prepared for
yesterdays vote on the Treasury
Post once measure and defeated
the reeommital proposal OF SEN
ator Bridges Of New Hampshire by
q vote OF a TO 80. II also raised
hopes that the Labor -FSA bill can
be restored TO its original omounts
when It comes back from .em-
mittee.
NAVY DISMISSALS-The news
is not 30 bright for Naval Gun
Factory civilian employees here.
A group OF them was told yes
terday by Rear Admiral Frank G.
Fahrion. superintendent OF the
Gun Factory. that a personnel cut
Of as much as IS per cent might
have to be made among the nearly
II 900 employees there.
| Admiral Fahrion said the extent
Of the cuts would depend on Con-
gress' final action on Nays budget
requests. It's considered virtually
certain that some disnissals will
be made, although Navy officials
are hoping that 1t won't amount TO
rs per cent Of the present EN-
ployes.

more than 1000 Adventists at

Elder Brown. who recently re-

THE position Of a woman is ap-
palling," he said. "She is consid-

She is reckoned in the number OF
cattle she Is worth. An ordinary
girl brings two cows, q fat one
brings 8 or 10. and a particularly
attractive girl Is worth Is cows. I"
Medical aid and the combating
Of illiteracy, Elder Brown asserted,
are the two main weapon" used
by missionary doctors and teachers
in their Nork. He said Adventist
missionaries are winning 10000
natives to Christianity each year.
Listing recent advances in civil

predicted that within 25e years.
civilization will have penetrated
into every heretofore untouched

Linden Area Residents
Fight zoning Of Tract
For Lumber Yard

approximately so residents of
Linden and surrounding areas
yesterday voiced strong opposition
to an application for industrial
zoning of land near the entrance
to the Walter Reed Hospital An
mex at Forest Glen.
The petition was one of eight
taken under advisement by the
Montgomery County Council fol-
lowing an all-day session at the
Liquor Dispensary Building, Silver
Spring.

lin, said he wanted to use the land
as lumber storage yard for his
construction firm. The tract con-
tains 70, ,065 square feet and fronts
on Linden lane. just east of the
Baltimore 81 Ohio Railroad.
Cites Gravel Dump.
In support of his petition, Mr..
Devlin pointed out the county has
been using about one acre in the
same area as a gravel dump and
to store other materials used in
the county's road maintenance
work.
Thomas C. Kelly, acting chair
man of the council, said he and
other council members were un-
saware such q sttuation existed.
i Mr.. Kelley said he knew Of
nothing illegal on the part Of the
county but added he thought 1t
morally" should obtain the
proper coming so as to avoid non
conforming use of property IN
residential areas.
The opponents, led by Stephen
James, a former president of the
Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, objected to any industrial
infringement" on their homes.
Petition Signed by 200.
Also opposed were the Linden,
Forest Glen Park and North
Woodside Montgomery Hills Cit
liens Associations. A petition
bearing more than 200 signatures
was submitted by the opposition.
A representative Of the Army hos
