ing so.
The bill has a new policy state
ment too. 1t says it is ''the policy

Judith Cop|on Returns
To Face Arraignment
Today on Spy Charges

Miss Judith Coplon, the Gov
ernment girl who went to New
York for the week end on March
4 and wound up in jail. returned
here today to face arraignment
on espionage charges.
The Government charges the

son to believe that the informa-
ton was to be used to the injury
of the United States and to the
advantage of a foreign nation

Although the indictment re-
turned here refers to the alleged
crimes before March 4. it was
thought likely that Miss Coplon
would be tried first in New York.
That Is dependent on whether
Gubitchev remains in this country
to stand trial.
The Soviet government has been
trying to get Gubitchev released
on grounds that he is covered by
diplomatic immunity. The State
Department has not conceded that
he has immunity but has raised
the possibility of deportation.
Gubitchev was suspended from
his job as an engineer with the
United Nations after his arrest
and is still in jail for lack of $780,

scheduled for April l.

Representative Morrison, DEM
ocrat, of Louisiana, top-ranking
member of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee. Another is spon-
sored by Representative Rhodes,
Democrat, of Pennsylvania, also a
member of the committee.
Any action on the bill is sty-
mied, however, until reports are
made on the legislation. The
Budget Bureau last year asked
the commission and the FSA to
come to agreement on what
kind of system would be
the best. FSA has favored a
rate of payment based on the
rates in the State where Govern
ment employees work. The COM
mission has indicated preference
for an equal compensation rate
for all Federal employees.
The commission has also failed
so far this year to submit its rec
concentrations on the Morrison
and Rhodes bills. These measures
would grant Government en-
ployes who are dismissed from
their Jobs through no fault of
their own a lump sum payment
equal to six months OF their sal
ary. To be eligible, permanent
status employees must have COM
pleted at least one year OF serV-
ice. War service and temporary
workers must have completed at
least five years Of service.
