such as consultants and special

The 1852 military appropria-
tions bill as approved by the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee, as
well as by the House. gives the
Defense Department enough
money to hire an additional 200,-
900 civilians However, the Sen
late's 100000 ceiling would mean
that practically the only white
collar employees who could be hired
would be those filling vacancies
The bulk of the 100000 hirings
will be among wage board en-
tployes, anyway. and the Senate's
rider does not apply to this group
of employees. Therefore. the rider
isn't as serious as it might be-
But defense officials say 1t will
impose some administrative hard
ships in cases where more classi-
fed employees, such as stenogra-
pliers and typists, are needed.
Whether the ceiling rider will
remain in the final bill approved
by Congress will have to be de-
termined in House-Senate con-
ference.
The Senate also adopted an
other amendment sponsored by
Senator Douglas. Democrat, OF
Illinois. which trimmed by 5 per
cent the budget estimates for ci-
william employees in the Pentagon.
More than 1000 jobs would be
eliminated by the rider. Defense
officials said most of the reduction
probably could be taken care of
through attrition-by not filling
vacancies.

SALARIES - Newly appointed
Defense Secretary Lovett has writ
ten to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, complaining that the
emergency agencies have more
high-paying jobs than the De-
fense Department. The commit
tee now has before it the 1852
supplemental bill, which contains
a rider that would bring down
the average salary Of the emer-
gency agencies to that Of the
rest of the Governments depart
ments and agencies.
Mr.. Lovett had no direct COM
|ment on the rider. but he asked
that Congress give the Defense
Department authority for Is more

to $4,000 a year.

Dreams of happy birthday eel
ebration were shattered yesterday
for mother and her six children
Mrs. Ruth Cosner and her fam.
lily were evicted from their home
at 1888 D street NE, for non-pay-
ment of rent.
Part of Mrs. Cosner's furniture
moved into the street following
the court eviction order-went into
storage last night and part of il
into the basement of a neighbor-
ing home.
Mrs. CoSner and two of her chill
dren found refuge for the night
with a neighbor. Mrs. Sally Ames
at 1875 D street NE. The other
four children were taken to the
Industrial Home School for care
there.
1t was 1o-year-old Connie Co.'S
Iner's birthday.
Double Party Planned
It also was the birthday o
Jeffrey Ames, 5. A dual birthda,
celebration had been planned TO
some time. Mrs. Ames had baket
Ia cake.
But after the movers came
there was little gayety left, Connie
began to cry. She refused a piec'
of cake and glass of soft drinl
prepared for the party.
When Mrs. Cosner gave her
sewing kit she had bought yester'
day morning as a birthday gift
Comics cries were louder.
"Mommy," she said. you
have spent the money
Mrs. Cosner's troubles began
she said, when her husband left
about a month ago, and she
learned that the rent for July and
had not been paid. Mrs
Cosner found it impossible to
make up the back payments and
still feed and clothe her children
on her $45-a-week stenographer's
salary.
Then the September rent came
due, and Mrs. Cosner could not
pay that.
Sought Cheaper Place.
During the summer her Oldest
daughter Patricia, IA, cared fol
the children while Mrs. Cosnel
worked. But as the school season
approached, she knew she would
have to make some other provi-
sion so Patricia could return tc
school.
Also, she had to find some
cheaper place to live. Her rent
now is $75 month.
But as soon as you say six
children. she said. they slam
the door in your face"
Until last Friday Mrs. Cosner
was working and trying to contact
various welfare agencieS and
rental representatives on he1
lunch hours.
But you can't see these people
and look for another place to live
and still work." she said. So last
Friday she quit, and started
house hunting in earnest. She has
another $45-a-week job waiting
for her as soon as the family is
settled.
The Family Service Association
stayed eviction for little while
by paying a weeks rent. But
funds for further aid were not
available from that agency. be-
cause the Community Chest failed
last year to meet it's goal.
Tries for Welfare Aid.

she said, told her to come back
later with papers proving she and
her children we're District resi-
dents, and her case would be con-
sidered. The board said today il
had no record of her visit.

Seattle Art Experts Laud Swedish Stoneware
First Shipment
OF Its Kind To
Reach America

A collection of 80 pieces of mod
ern Swedish stoneware, first of
it's kind ever brought to this coun-
try, was received recently by Mats
and Siri Djos, art-and-crafts i'm
porters of Ais University Way,
Seattle.
One of the pieces, yellow vase,
was described as 1.-The most beau
tiful piece of modern stoneware
I have ever SEEM" by Paul A..
Bonifas, professor of ceramics in
the University of Washington
School of Art.
The ware has been on order for
a year, Djos said. All of it is
handmade by Erich or Ingrid
THRILLER, of the village of Tobo, near
Upsala, Sweden.
Professor Bonifas said the col
ors are comparable to those of
the very best Chinese stoneware.
Each is a work of art" he said.
Ware such as this is produced
only by those who have loving
approach to their work, and a de-
votion to perfection which is not
of our time"
Successful Pioneering
DR.. Richard Fuller selected an
entire collection of eight pieces for
the Seattle Art Museum. He stated
that he had never before bought
more than one piece from any
one potter, Djos said. Mrs. D. E.
Frederick and Mrs. Thomas Stim-
son, of Seattle, also acquired sew
eral pieces each. Mr.. Bonifas was
the first person to make a pur-
chase.
ut has all been very gratifying
and exciting" says Mr.. Djos. 1T
is our specific job to represent
Swedish arts and crafts in their
most advanced forms, and we are
of course happy over the success
we have had, despite natural hard
ships which always accompanies
pioneering in any field"

New York, N. Y.
Dear Fellow Virgin Islanders:
During the course of its deli
berations the Virgin Islands
Organic Act Reform Committee
invited interested persons and or
CARNATIONS to express their views
in writing or at the public hear
ings on this very important
matter. An invitation from the
Committee was sent to me in Feb
ruary, and an as Member Of the
first Organic Act Reform Commit
tee, I submitted a written memo
randum of proposals for changes
in the Act.
The Committee submitted it's
Report to the Virgin Islands Legis
lative Assembly which, in a spe-
cial session convened for the pur-
pose, adopted a Revised Draft
Organic Act and elected a new
committee to present the Revised
Draft Act to the appropriate Con-
gressional Committees as embody-
ing the wishes of the People of
the Virgin Islands.
The Hon. Omar Brown is the
Chairman of the new Organic Act
Committee of the Virgin Islands
Legislative Assembly. Recogniz-
ing the Importance of a solid and
united front on this major con-
stitutional issue, Mr.. Brown wrote
to me stating that he would like
to hold a round-table conference
in mid-July between representa-
tives from the Islands and the
various organizations and groups
of Virgin Islanders on the main
land to consider the Revised Draft
Organic Act and ways and means
of securing its passage by Con-
gress. Regarding this as a call to
public duty, I conveyed Mr.
Browns suggestion informally to
the heads of various organizations,
and upon their assurance that
they would gladly meet under my
Craftsmanship, I wrote of this
most encouraging development to
him, and sent a list of the groups
that would be invited.
