House Rejects Idle Aid
1For Federal Workers

The House today rejected, 1877
to 140, bill to give unemployment
compensation benefits to Govern
ment employees.
Brought up under a suspension
of rules, the bill was favored by
a majority of the House but failed
to muster the necessary two thirds
vote majority. The suspension of
the rules was invoked when the
House Rules Committee failed to
give the measure an immediate
clearance for House action.
Today's rejection does not pre-
lclude the possibility of the bill
being brought up again, either
under another suspension Of rules
in several weeks or as a result of
finally getting clearance from the
Rules Committee. In the latter
case, only a majority vote would
be necessary to pass the bill.
Representative Forand, Demo-
crat of Rhode Island. the bills
sponsor, argued that Federal
employees are entitled to the same
sort Of jobless protection benefits
that are accorded private workers.
The bill would have given Federal
employes these benefits.

The short, balding Moretti made
no bones about the fact he was
