be expected to approve such legis-
lation.
Private industry workers as well
as temporary indefinite Federal
employees covered under social Sc
curity, receive nearly twice as
much in the way of survivorshir
annuity benefits as do Govern
ment career workers and THEN
families. Consequently, the wives
and children of these employees
are much better protected thar
are the dependents of Federal
career workers who die while ir
Government.
Since Government workers
under the Civil Service Retirement
Act pay a much larger portion OF
their salaries for Civil Service re-
tirement benefits, they feel they
are entitled to at least the same
ISurvivorship insurance benefits as
the others are getting.
Legislation to give them greater
benefits was Stymied last year by
the commissions opposition. The
Ichange of heart on the part Of the
commission would indicate a better
chance for the measure when
Congress returns next month. The
Senate Civil Service Committee is
expected to take up such legisla-
ton. in addition to the annuity
increases for retired Federal work
'ers, early next year.

DISGRUNTLED - Some top
administration officials make nc
bones about their disgust with
those Federal employees who have
one complaint or another to lodge
against the long holiday week ends
granted them.
The Government thought it was
doing its employees a favor by
giving them the long week ends
But some employees are complain
ing that it will deprive them OF
some of their 1850 annual leave
in cases where they already have
more than the allowed 60-day
leave accumulation total, and that
they won't be allowed to use their
excess annual leave on December
"a or December 20.
Also, some employees who are
working in excess Of 40 hours a
week are complaining that the
holiday week ends will deprive then
of overtime for the two weeks. AND
others brumble over the fact that
they have to work on the follow
ing Saturdays to make up for the
two Mondays off.
Fortunately, the great majority
of Federal employees are properly
appreciative of the chance tC
enjoy the long holiday week ends
It's the relatively small group OF
chronic grumblers who are COM
planning.

Accuses M'Arthur Withholding Information

BOSTON, (P-T The Christian Science Monitor says there is strong evidence" General Mac Arthur withheld from the White House information about possible Chinese intervention in Korea.
 The statement is contained in a story by Gordon Walker, assist ant foreign editor of the Monitor and former war correspondent at tached to General MacArthur'S command in the Pacific and Tokyo.
 Tn New York, a spokesman for Gen. Macarthur said no comment would be made until the state ments were studied.
 Gen. Charles A. Willoughby, former chief intelligence officer for MacArthur, terms the state ment deliberately false, whether in the Christian Science Monitor or the Police Gazette"
 Walkers story also says "front line commanders ordered their troops into battle without prior . knowledge that they faced over- whelming odds-odds as high as three or four to one"
 According to Walker, informa- tion about Chinese intervention reached Tokyo in mid-September, two months. before the late No vember start of the ill-fated Yalu river offensive.
 ''War correspondents in Tokyo who sought to establish the fact were officially discouraged by headquarters from writing about it." Walker declares.

Fairbanks Liquor Stores Give Beer Away In Price War

FAIRBANKS, (P) - A mer- chants war drove the price of beer to zero here yesterday and one dealer even delivered it-all for free.
 It started when one dealer slashed his prices from $6 to $3.75 case last week. A competitor cut to $3.35, scarcely what it costs to ship the beverage from the States to Alaska plus taxes.
 Last night, the Southside Liq- uor Market started giving it away. Hundreds of the thirsty lined up outside the market. The proprietor, noting that many couldn't get in, started delivering it to downtown points.
 The milling mob finally neces- sitated police action to break up the traffic jam. But beer was still free and one market owner said he was going to make it even cheaper-he didn't explain how.
