The White House said action
would be taken later in the day
on the 1852 independent offices

personnel cut rider. also contains
the provision cutting the 26 days
annual leave of Government clas-
sified and Wage Board employees
to 20 days.

May Criticize Measure.
White House officials predict
the President will sign the bill, al
though there is some conjecture
that he will issue a statement criti-
cizing some portions of the
measure.
Administration Officials say the
President is disturbed over the
fact that the Atomic Energy Com
mission is required to make 10
per cent personnel cut along with
the other agencies. Acc officials
say this will mean the loss of
l 900 employees.

Security Agency bill provides 81
512,004.270 operating expenses for
the 1852 fiscal year. The Agricul-
ture Department measure carries

Bills Limit Vacancies.
Both bills provide that only one
out of every four personnel va
cancies may be filled during the
present fiscal year. Once a 10
per cent reduction is achieved by
this method, the provision would
no longer apply.
Congress did provide one loop
hole whereby departments could
fill vacancies through transfers
from other units in their own
operation or from other agencies
without regard to the vacancy
filling restriction.

a per cent minimum reduction
in personnel that an agency must

House-passed legislation au-
thorizing Federal grants to pri-
vate non-prof1t hospitals here has
been approved by a Senate Dis

to the full District Committee for

ing, repairing or renovating hos
pital plants.
But the District government
would be required to repay 80 per

to provide half the cost of the
project.

any such hospital now operating
in the District which is not afflli-
ated with the authorized Wash
ington hospital center. This CEN
ter, to be built On the Soldiers

to go forward with construction
programs are Providence Hospital
which already has a site in North.

request Of the Justice Department
that the Civil Service Commission
take over from the FBI the task
of making routine security checks
on job applications for II Federal

pressing matters.
At present, the commission han
dies the routine loyalty checks

Tax Collector
TO Ask Review
In Parking Case
Pearson to Press
Commissioners for
Reversal of Decision

Tax Collector Guy Pearson said
today he would appeal to the Com
missioners to reconsider their de-
cision last Tuesday that parking
ticket issued to one of the Dis
trict's parking meter collection
cars must be paid.
The ticket was issued August 10
to the car stopped at the Thir-
teen and Half street entrance to
the District Building, for parking
on red meter. after an argument
between the driver and police
man.
If any one has to pay the SO
collateral, Mr.. Pearson said today,
"I1l pay it"
The tax collector, who returned
today after leave, had asked
that the ticket be cancelled.
The driver involved, Edward j.
Ryan, "a. was doing exactly what
he was told to do" in stopping
where he did while delivering his
nickel collection to the District
Building. Mr.. Pearson said.
Nickel Containers Heavy.
Mr.. Pearson explained that the
cases of nickels taken from the
meters in sealed containers
weighed from 40 to As pounds, and
are too heavy to be carried long
distances.
Two employees of the tax Office
actually have been injured in
, carrying the heavy cases, he
pointed out. Mr.. Ryan had four
cases to deliver the day the ticket
was issued.
i Mr.. Pearson said his Office has
been operating in the past on an
oral understanding that the four
meter-collection cars could stop
in the metered spaces while on
official business.
He said Police Supt. Robert j.
Barrett had assured him that no
written permission was needed,
although Mr.. Pearson had tried
to get something in writing to
avoid Observation-Disclosures.
Barrett Story Differs.
Mai. Barrett however, said he
had had an understanding with
Mr.. Pearson covering the unload
ing of the collection cars at 301 c
street NV, the Municipal Gen.
ter. But, he said, it covered only
this point and not the District
Building. He added that his un-
derstanding did not cover meter
spaces because he had no au-
thority to allow any one to park
: in meter spaces without paying
: Maj. Barrett concurred in the
police recommendation to the
q Commissioners that collateral be
! deposited on the ticket.
Mr.. Pearson said that such tick
cts had been cancelled in the past
n AS for the argument with thu
policeman issuing the ticket, Pvt
Cornelius F. Sullivan, of first pre-
" cinct, Mr.. Pearson said that, a:
n he understood the facts, it wa!
started by the policeman.
In reporting to the Commission
t ers on the case. Inspector Howard
e v. Covell, former captain of the
j First precinct, quoted The driver
= as saying to Pvt. Sullivan, IF you
think I am going to pay for thi,
ticket, you are crazy"
Mr.. Pearson said Mr.. Ryan is a
1 very high-caliber type of person
] He is so highly thought of, in
fact, that he has been offered
r better jobs in the tax office, but
} has turned them down because hs
does not want his work to inter-
fere with his attendance at law
