away employe appeal rights.
Ernploye leaders declare such a
move would greatly weaken the
job security of Federal employees,
as we'll as interfere with their
chances for promotion and ad-
vancement in the Federal service
They point out the present sys-
tenn assures Federal workers Of
the right to appeal their efficiency
rating to an impartial appeals
board in their agency, composed
of an official of the Civil Service
Commission, an employe repre-
sentative elected by the workers
of the agency and a representa-
tive from management.
The commissions proposal would
abolish these boards and leave it
up to the individual agencies, if
they chose, to give employees a
chance of appeal. There would be
no guarantee of impartial men,
bership on the Appeals Board, and
there would be nothing to stop an
agency from loading the boards
entirely with management repre-
Sentatives.
Employe leaders feel that, de-
spite the commissions urging that
efficiency ratings not be used as
the basis of dismissals and pro-
motions, agencies would continue
to use them on such a basis.
Therefore, they feel, an employe
who received an adverse efficiency
rating would be at the mercy of
his agency, deprived of the right
to appeal to an impartial board.
Another thing annoying employe
leaders is the fact that veterans,
under the Veterans Preference
Act. would retain the right to ap-
peal to the Civil Service Commits
sion. while non-veterans would not.

Negro Leader Reveals
Marriage in Reply
To Alienation Suit

Leslie S. Perry, prominent Negro
leader here, revealed in a coun-
tersuit filed in District Court to-
day that he has been married to
Miss Ruth Weyand. white Gov
ernment attorney, since last
September.
Miss Weyand, an attorney with
the National Labor Relations
Board, was sued for $4,000 dam
ages on a charge by Mr.. Perry's
former wife that she alienated his
affections. ..
Mr.. Perry, legislative repre-
sentative for the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People, said he married
Miss Weyand in Montreal, Can
ada, about a month after Mrs.
Olive Perry, 2433 Ontario road
NV, obtained Virgin Island
divorce from him.
In his countersuit, filed today,
Mr.. Perry asked the court to en-
join his former wife from press
ing her alienation action.
He. also sought $4,000 punitive
damages from his former wife.
He claimed that she sought to
injure him socially and profess
sionally.
Mr.. Perry also claimed in the
suit that he and Olive Perry
reached an amicable agreement
of all their differences last June.
He said that under that agree
ment he would give her title to a
home he owned in Atlantic City,
N. j., as we'll as $4,000 cash. She
in turn, agreed not to modest"
him by taking any legal proceed
ings against Miss Weyand accord
ing to the suit.
He further charged that Olive
Perry "maliciously" broke this
agreement for purposes of "re-
venge."
Mr.. Perry lives at 1909 Twenty
second street NV, according to
the suit, which added that the
woman lawyer now lives with him
there. Miss Weyand's address was
given as the 1900 block of Con-
necticut avenue NV, in Olive
Perry's suit. which described the
lawyer as "a single person of
great wealth"

Suit Filed to Block

Col. Norman B. Ames, presi-

passed at the 1945 session of the
General Assembly conflicts with a

the non-partisan election of coun-
fcil members.

There is far more reason to try

conclusively that the japanese did
not use germ warfare over China.
Besides, Mr.. keenan, said. Hiro-

yesterday, after jurors spent go

Judge Let's excused the jurors
when he received word the wit
ness airplane had been indef-
nitely delayed.
The witness is Glenn Clarke,
former secretary general of the

Gil.
Christoffel, former president of
Local 248 of the CLOS United

disclaimers Co. plant, is accused
of falsely denying to the House

He was convicted on this charge
in l948, but the conviction was
reversed last summer by the Su-

Government had not proved a

testimony was heard.
In this first week of Christof-

former members of the House
Committee, constituting quorum,
have sworn they were in attend
ance and heard Christoffel make
the allegedly perjurious state
ments.
John S. Pratt, special assistant
to the Attorney General, will pro-
ceed next week with an attempt
to prove that ChriStoffel lied in
denying his Communist affllia-

through the testimony of former
