averted late Saturday and early

NOR spread through this COM

Police also arrested E. G..
Young on a charge of aiding and
abetting the alleged resistance

300 citizens milled around the
Montgomery County jail until 2
am. yesterday after the rumor
spread that a soldier had been

from the White House is that the
presidential order giving status
to non-permanent Federal en-
ployes will be issued the latter

two years from the date on which
the order is issued. No more than
a 60-day break in service will be
allowed in compiling an employe S
