Land Acquisition Bill
For Potomac Parkway
Clears House Hurdle

A bill to authorize the Gov
ernment to exchange land or ac-
cept donations for development of
the proposed Potomac River park
way was approved today by a
House subcommittee.
This step was taken by a House
Public Lands subcommittee on
the recommendation OF Repre-
sentative Beall, Republican, of
Maryland and Conrad L. Wirth,
chief of land and recreational
planning for the National Park
Service.
The witnesses explained that a
report on the recreational and
parkway project extending along
the route of the old Chesapeake
& Ohio Canal from Georgetown
to Cumberland. Md. has yet to be
presented to Congress by the In
terror Department.
Exchange Authority Lacking.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Beall explained,
the Interior Department needs au-
thority to accept donations of land
from Maryland and political sub
divisions and to exchange a small
acreage with the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad, which is planning
to expand its Cumberland yards.
The representative said the rail-
road wished to trade some land
along the proposed right way
of the parkway for six or eight
acres which the Government owns
beside its yards in Cumberland.
| 1t was explained that the Gov
ernment now owns about 5,400
acres of the old C. & o. right
of-way, which it purchased from
the B. & o. Railroad, and will
require at least 1000 more acres
in Maryland. The bill approved
today would permit trades for the
acquisition of the additional acres
and authorize the Government to
accept title from donors in Mary
land.
Opposes Highway.
Howard zahniser of Hyattsville,
who represents the Committee on
Preservation of Natural Features
/ of Washington and Vicinity, told
the subcommittee he was dis
turbed by published reports that
a high-Speed highway would be
established along the scenic river
route. The witness said he un-
derstood the Government pur-
chased the old canal and partly
restored it to preserve some of the
atmosphere of the 18th
century.
Chairman Engle said his sub
committee was only helping to
complete the acquisition of needed
land, and that the character of
the parkway would not be passed
upon until Congress acts on the
recommendations of the Interior
Department. still to be received.

Vote Law Passage Seen

The special session of the Mary
land General Assembly may pass
an absentee voting law for soldiers
but it probably will not apply until
the November general election
The assembly meets tomorrow to
change the primary date from
September II to September 18 so
as to avoid a Jewish holiday con-
f1ict and to arrange an additional
day for registration of voters in
Baltimore.
Sources close to the admins
tration said they expect the voting
law would not be made effective
in September because of the short
time before the primary and be-
cause comparatively few Mary

The President told them that
he hoped they had found out a
lot about Government during their

to find out about Government was
to get in it.
"Then," he said, you will find
a lot OF people who know more

They don't hesitate to tell you."
the President said, adding that

He told the boys that they are

Those appointed from regular
civil service lists as clerks will
not receive permanent status,
even though they have passed an
exam for these jobs. They will
receive einergency-indefinite ap-
pointments.
Civil service officials say the
apportionment law. which allows
only a certain number OF District,
Maryland and Virginia residents
to fill these clerical jobs, makes
it unlikely that these applicants
could get permanent status ap-
pointments in other Government
agencies.
Therefore, the commission ad-
vises these persons to accept
emergency indefinite appoint
ments in the various defense
agencies.
The commission will certify
their names to the defense
agencies, and they will be called
in the order of their rating on
the clerical job register. At present,
only those who made grades of
80 or better are being called, but
as the demand for new employees
grows, persons who made grades
in the 80s will be called.
The commission says any one
who has not passed the civil
service clerical exam doesn't have
much OF a chance of obtaining
Federal employment here in cleri-
cal jobs in the forseeable future.
TYPISTS AND STENOGS-The
Civil Service Commission has au-
thorized the defense agencies to
recruit directly for stenographers

This is because there is dearth
OF available applicants for these
jobs on regular civil service reg
listers. The commission will GER
tify any applicants it has avail
able, but the defense agencies
themselves will have the right to
go out and recruit these en-
ployes.
LEAVE-Federal officials have
up the situation regarding
who are hired as tenn
-indefinites in the defense
agencies. These employees will re-
ceive the regular 26 days annual
leave that other Federal workers
get. It's only the relatively few
workers who are hired as tempo

years service or less) who receive
30 days annual leave. The num-
Der of these employees are very
