is through the Civil Service Committees OF both
houses It is unfortunately true that these
committees have been dragging their feet on
the leave issue in the past, situation which
has encouraged Congress to use the rider
approach. But the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee has promised to report leave bill shortly.
And the decision of the Budget Bureau in
suggesting graduated scale of leave for Federal
workers provides the Senate and House COM
mittees with basis for substantive legislation.
The administration plan would limit the present
26-day privilege to employees who have been in
the service for more than is years Those with
from to Is years service would be given 1917
days and those with less than Ave years service
would be granted 13 days The House Civil

adopting the rider

an exaggeration if we were to call it

it should be the case, because as the

The Problem Needs Careful Study

Some reduction in Federal employees leave
privileges is clearly in prospect, now that the
Budget Bureau has thrown its weight behind
the movement in Congress toward that end. The
graduated leave plan proposed by the admins
tration would save an estimated 5000 million a
year. That would be an attractive saving at
time when governmental economy is vital But
in seeking to insure substantial saving through
leave curtailment the Senate has strayed from
the proper course. rider on an appropriation
bill is not the right way to legslate on the
complicated leave problem.
The right way to tackle this problem is

A DiscreditobIe Coup

The House has given the coup de grace to
the pill which would have permitted the Nimitz
Commission on Internal Security and Individual
Rights to function. What little hope there was
for salvage of the commission plan went aglim-
mering when the House ditched a rider that
would have exempted the commission from
Strictions of the conhict-of-interests law. The
rider was on bill to exempt Robert T. Murphy,
local attorney designated to conduct Senate
inquiry into the Taft election campaign, from
the same law Consistently, the House also killed
the Murphy bill. Both actions are inconsistent
with past legislation to exempt certain groups
or individuals from law which has proved to
be too broad in its scope.
The law in question forbids Government en-
poyes from having interests in conflict with their
public duties and from doing business with the
Federal Government for two years after leaving
it. The purpose underlying the act obviously
is good one. But, it stands, it would have
prevented creation of the Hoover Commission,
many members of which would not have agreed
to undertake a temporary assignment under such
unfair limitations on future activity Congress
wisely exempted the Hoover Commission from
the law just as it has exempted other temporary
public servants. In fact the necessity for GER
tain exemptions had been fully recognized on
both sides of the Capitol until the President
appointed Admiral Nmitz and an outstanding
group of other citizens to appraise the Govern
ment's internal security program and recon-
mend changes, if needed These appointments
ran into opposition in the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, apparently because that committee was
planning to make it's own investigation in the
same field. The exemption bill is gathering dust
in committee pigeonhole.
The committee has not stated its reason for
refusing to report the exemption measure. The
only valid reason would be its fear that Admiral
Nimitz and the other distinguished members Of
the commission would be less worthy of trust
than the Hoover Commission or other bene1-
ciaries of special exemption legislation. Such
fear, Of course would be ridiculous. But the
committee has refused to bulge from its unrea-
sonable stand So the House, which once ap-
proved the Nmitz bill as separate measure, has
given up the idea of trying to slip it through as
rider on other legislation. The Nirnitz Com
mission thus has become the victim OF arbitrary
and inconsistent committee strategy that is
discredit to those responsible.

Jurrina Note at Wuterqute

The Watergate has been center for
summer concerts and other musical
features for number of years. In the
past it attracted large crowds, drawn
both by the programs offered and the
beautiful setting. But the setting is no
longer the same. Any one who was pres
ent for the double operatic features
must admit as much.
The prevailing direction of the wind
necessitated all planes to the National
Airport to approach from the north.
A few were conSiderate and made their
circles short or wide. but the majority
centered their run directly over the
barge. Two swept the audience with
their powerful landing lights, needless
gesture of annoyance.
It seems foolish to continue using
this site for opera or concerts. It is
no pleasure to have single aria drowned
out five times by the roar of plane mo-
tors. have resolved not to attend any
performances at this place, a decision

this National Capitol. Third, the obli-
cation which arises from the fact that
the people of Washington are heavy
contributors to national taxes.
We assume our obligations. We pay
our bills. A few years ago we had state
mentS introduced into the record to
show that we are paying more money
from this city than some 20 separate
States. We pay our bills.
Here is the difficulty: There are some
things in our budget which are must
items. This So million to st. Elizabeths
Hospital is must item. The Federal
Government and the Budget Bureau
will see that we put it in.
The support of prisoners is a must
item The Bureau of the Budget will
insist we put it in. We cannot cut it
10 per cent. The committee will insist
we pay the bill
The National Training School for
Boys is the same thing, Freedmen's
Hospital, the United States Courts. The
Congress will insist we put that money
In. We cannot deduct 10 per cent be-
cause it is debt we owe. And so it is
with other items.
The first thing we put down is the
must items. We tell the Commissioners
these items, Mr.. Commissioners, are
must items. We owe this. Let us pay it."
We can depend on taxes because the
people know they must pay. But there
is always the question in our minds
when we come to writing this budget as
to what the Federal Government will
do. It makes it very difficult for the
fn "a
ton. Somebody might put floor amend
ment in to strike out the whole thing.
1t leaves us in very unfortunate con-
dition.
But here we have the situation in this
District, and you read editorials and l
hear people on the floor indicating that
there is tendency on the part of the
Congress to renege on its own obliga-
tions to the District, to renege on doing
its bit, and some words even harSher
than that, that it refuses to pay its obli
cations.
cannot speak for the Commissioners,
but I would rather have nothing from
the Federal Government than to have
our people feel that this great Govern
ment of ours would renege and refuse
to pay its just obligation. I would
rather have it cut out than have this
impression permeate the hearts and the
thinking Of our people. We do not ask
for justice here. Mr.. Chairman. If We
were asking for justice, we would ask
for an accounting of all of those mil
lions Of dollars that are due the people
of this city, but that the Federal Gov
ernment has never paid.
We are not asking for justice. All we
are asking for is the restoration Of this
item of $1.200.000, the amount of the
lump sum recommended in 1947 by The
Joint Committee on Fiscal Affairs.

Young Crime Busters

During the past few months, have
read with satisfaction of several cases
where children have been instrumental
in the solution of crimes, some Of
serious nature.
Their presence of mind in taking tag
numbers and giving descriptions is very
commendable.
The thing which impressed me most,
however. was their willingness to aid
police In apprehending criminals. All
too many children. and grownups, too,

Scientists tell us, whether we believe
