First Court Plea Lost
By Burke Airport Foe

Counsel for a Virginia land
owner seeking to halt condem-
nation of land for the proposed
Burke Airport lost preliminary
round in the suit today at District
Court.
Judge Alexander Holtzoff
turned down a motion Of the
plaintiff. Jones Jasper, to have
issues in the case heard by a
three-judge tribunal. The suit
contends that a law passed by
Congress to acquire land for the
airport is unconstitutional and
that Congress lacked authority to
authorize condemnation of land
in Virginia for an airport to serve
the District.
A three-judge court frequently
is called on to decide on questions
pertaining to constitutionality.
Judge Holtzoff held. however, that
no substantial constitutional ques-
ton exists.
His action left the case open for
a hearing on a Government motion
to dismiss the suit. which will
come up tomorrow.
That suit names Commerce Sec
fetary Sawyer and Attorney Cen
eral McGrath defendants.

He said he was in favor of the
restoration of the old two thirds
rule on nominating Democratic
candidates for the presidency and

Shafer. >"Perhaps this same
bounty idea could be applied
profitably to the problem of de-
creasing the swarms of Federal
Office and job-holders who today
are devouring the Nations sub
stance"
Mr.. Shafer evidently doesn't
know this. but Congress, two years
ago. approved the law, now in
effect. which gives cash awards
to officials and supervisors who

it is not done on bounty" basis,
on the assumption that Federal
employees are "noxious animals or

LEAVE - House Senate con-
ferees met for the first time yes
terday on the postal rate increase
bill, which contains the Senate's
13-to-26-days annual leave rider.
While no vote was taken, the
leave rider was discussed and the
confereeS were reported to be vir-
tually unanimous in favor of a
graduated leave plan. Chairman
Murray of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee is said to have
suggested Is days leave for en-
ployes with less than five years
service. and 20 days leave for
those with more than five years
service. On the other hand. Sen
ator Pastore. Democrat. of Rhode
Island. argued strongly for the
13-to-26-days plan.

PAY-Meanwhile, Capitol Hill
legislative experts have cleared up
a couple of questions regarding the
pay measure which the conferees
are expected to report out next
week.
The pay raise. of course, will be
retroactive to July /. But the retro
active feature has raised several
questions. Some employees want
to know whether an employe who
from one agency to an
other during the period between
July l and the day the pay raise
becomes effective would get the
full retroactive increase. If so,
which agency would pay it, the old
one. or the new one?
The answer to the first part of
the question is that an employe
who transfers from one agency to
another would get the retro
active increase. And the new
would pay the retroactive
amount out of it's funds.

The money bills for the Defense
Commerce, State and Justice De.
|partments have not yet become
law. Nevertheless. these depart
ments must go ahead and submit
their budget requests for 1858, not
knowing how much they will gel
for 1852.
Then, too, the Ferguson-Jensen
Amendment, which allows the fill
ing of only one out of four vacan-
cieS in most non-defense bureaus,
is so complicated and poses Sc
many administrative questions
that nobody in Government is
sure as to what its effect will be

Interpretation Of the rider-a
rather severe one-but there still
are a lot of operating difficulties
that will have to be met when
they occur.
Also. the House-approved Whit
ten amendment severely curbing
promotions and transfers in Gov
ernment has agencies uncertain
as to how and with whom they are
going to I'LL essential job vacan-
cies. Even though the Senate will
modify this amendment somewhat,
the fact is that, at the moment,
the agencies don't know just what
the final provisions will be.
Another factor Is the Govern-
ment pay raise bill, which will be
enacted by Congress this year.
Even though the attempt to make
non-defense bureaus absorb the
cost Of the raise was defeated, the
House and Senate Appropriations
Committees next year undoubted
ly will make agencies absorb at
least some Of the cost.
This will mean some Job cuts,
but the agencies won't know much

'Deported' Last Time Tonight at Capitol Theatre

In Italy they're still talking about the day that an American movie di- rector hired an entire Italian town to work in a moving picture.
 The director was Robert Siodmak who was rowing central Italy filming scenes for the Universal l-Interna- tional film, "Deported," on the last times tonight at the Capitol The atre. The town was Colle Val D'Elsa a village between Siena and Flor ence in the lush Tuscany district.
 Charmed with the rustic beauty of the town as far as scenic back grounds were concerned. and equally charmed with the carefree nature and pleasant manners of the in- habitants, Siodmak dropped in on the mayor and blandly told him he'd like to buy" the town for a day and a night.
 Siodmak said all he wanted to do was to bring in a couple of Ameri- can film stars-Marta Toren and Jeff Chandler-and film some scenes of them for the picture with the village and it's people in the back ground. Everyone in town who wanted to be in a movie could take part, Siodmak said.

Much Rain, Moose But No Plane, Ruins H0Ibrook's Hunt

More things conspired to spoil the hunting trip of Wellman Hol- brook who returned Monday aboard the Baranof after a months ab- sence at the westward where he had gone for moose.
 First of all, Holbrook was storm bound in Seward for 12 days be- fore he could leave on his long planned moose hunt.
 We talk about rain in Juneau. I never saw it rain as hard as in Seward - fIolbrook sairii
 With a packer, Holbrook flew to Paradise Lake, near Seward. They got their moose all right, left it on a sandbar on the lake to be picked up later by wheel plane as they returned by pontoon ship.
 Then the plane which was to make the pickup was wrecked in the streets of Seward and i've couldn't find another plane to bring back our moose" Holbrook said. There was a lot of game ruined by the rain this year, said the former Forest Service executive.
 While Holbrook was in Seward waiting for hunting weather, Mrs. Holbrook visited her brother-in- law and sister, MT. and Mrs. Don F. Shaddeck, who operate the com- missary for the Columbia Lumber Go, at Whittier.

Bishop 0'F|anagan C0nsetrated Head
 0f Juneau Diocese

Conservation of the Rev. Dermot O'Flanagan, first bishop of the newly created Roman Catholic Dio- cese of Juneau, was held this morn ing at the Holy Family Church at Anchorage.
 Bishop Francis D. GleeSon, vicar apostolic of Alaska with residence at Juneau, was the consecrator and Archbishop Thomas A. Connolly, of the new ecclesiastical province of Seattle, presided.
 Installation of Bishop O'Flanagan will be held october 10 at Juneau in the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary.
 He was named bishop of the Jl- neau diocese when it was created early in July. He has been pastor of the Holy Family parish in An- chorage since 1883. The parish was his first Alaska assignment.
 A civic reception honoring the new bishop will be held at Anchor age this evening. Acting Governor Joseph Kehoe will express greetings at the reception.
 The following Southeast Alaska priests who attended the consecra- tion ceremonies were the Rev. James ConWell, s. J., Juneau, chan cellor and acting vicar general of the Vicariate of Alaska, and the Rev. Edgard Gallant, Skagway, sen- for priest in Alaska. Also attend ing were Sister Mary Henrietta, superior of St. Ann's Hospital, Ju- neau, Sister Mary Florence, super for of Plus x Mission. Skagway, Sister Immaculate, superior of Ket- chikan General Hospital, accom- panied by Sister Mary Leona.
 Southern Alaska was elevated to the position of diocese July IT in directive from Pope Plus XII. h. cluded in the diocese of Juneau are Anchorage, Palmer, Seward, Kodiak, Cordova and all of southeast Alaska. The change took the area out of the mission status with the remain der of Alaska continuing to be ad- ministered as vicariate apostolic. The new arrangement means that southeast Alaska will have it's own residential bishop and not be tied in so closely with Rome.
 After the installation of Bishop O'Flanagan, Bishop Gleeson's resi- dence will be at Fairbanks.
