Adding this to % men high in

say for sure. The Russians report

The Senate already has ap-
proved the Douglas amendment.
And in House-Senate conference,
the House conferees agreed to
accept it.
The House is expected to ap-
prove the leave rider when the
independent Offices conference re-
port comes up before it again.
That will insure its passage by
Congress.
incidentally, the amendment
will become permanent law and
will not have to be re-enacted
each year.
However, if the 13-to-26-days
plan is later approved by Con-
gress, this would supersede the
20-day plan.
Whether the graduated leave
legislation can overcome its pres
ent obstacles remains to be seen
The fact remains that Govern

leave than their present 26 days,

PERSONNEL CUTS-It's begin
ming to appear as if the House
will get it's way in the matter of
retaining the Jensen formula for
cutting Federal employment.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, sponsor of the Sen
ate-adopted 10 per cent personnel
reduction plan, says he is willing
to agree to some kind of plan
along the Jensen riders lines.
However the Jensen provision
which allows agencies to fill only
25 per cent of personnel vacancies,
probably will be toned down quite
a bit by House-Senate conferees.
An increasing number of Sena-
tors and Representatives are con-
vinced that the Jensen rider, in
its present form, would cause
great administrative hardships.
Consequently, the rider is due to
be modified to give agencies
greater leeway in filling vital job
vacancies.
Certainly, though, rank-and-
file Federal employees would fare
better under the Jensen amend
ment than the Senate's 10 per
cent reduction rider, since all per-
sonnel reductions would be made
by not filling vacancies. Direct
dismissals would not be necessary.
