troller General has ruled of6cially
that the Governments per diem
employees are not entitled to
premium pay for holidays worked
during the last war. More than
5000 Federal workers had filed
claims for double -time-and-a-half
pay as a result of a favorable Su-
|preme- Court decision involving
some Government Printing Once
workers.
The Controller General. several
weeks ago. issued an informal
ruling that the claims of other
per diem workers were not valid.
since they had not engaged in a
special contract with their agen-
|cies for this premium pay, as in
the case of GPO workers. The
Controller General today made
the ruling official.

counting Once employees. caught
in the wave of downgrading
brought about by a reduction-in-
force program, are asking their
Congressman to look into the
situation.
Many Of the employees have as
much as 20 years of service. Some
were downgraded by three to four
grades. In number of cases. the
|employes charge that even the

|uuired such heavy manual labor
that they are not physically able
to accept the jobs.
I AGE REQUIREMENTS - The

waive minimum and maximum

|Rubinstein S Answer
To Third Deportation
Order AwaifedbyU US,
BY the Assoeiu:ed Press

Draft Dodger Serge M. Rubin
stein wealthy Russian born finan-
cier, today faced the Governments
third attempt in eight years to
deport him. The two previous at
tempts failed.
The immigration Service or
|dered him deported yesterday on
grounds that Rubinstein's draft
lodging In World War II consti-
tuted moral turpitude." He was
in the Lewisburg, Pa, Federal
penitentiary from May 5. 1947,
to April 25, l949. for evading Sc
lective service.
Rubinstein has is days in which
to appeal. Immigration Commis-
sioner Argyle r. Maokey, who
signed the order, said
Rubinstein's attorney, Milton
Golden, said in Los Angeles that
an appeal probably would be made
"to the highest court in the land y
New York Immigration officials
said Rubinstein would be per-
mitted to go voluntarily to any
country that would accept him
Otherwise he will be forced to
leave. possibly for Portugal OF
Russia II either will accept him,
the officials added.
One report said Rubinstefn was
in Los Angeles. But New York
authorities said he was supposed
to keep the Immigration Service
Informed of his whereabouts and
it was assumed he was in the
New York area.
Rubinstein came from Canada
to the United States on o Portu-
guese passport in 1888 and was
arrested in 1943 on q charge OF
obtaining the passport by fraud.
A deportation order issued after
the arrest was reversed by the
Immigration Appeals Board.
After his prison term for draft
violation, Rubinstein was acquit-
ted in a New York Federal Court
on an indictment charging him
with violation of the Securities
and Exchange Act.
The Supreme Court invalidated
a second deportation proceeding
against Rubinstein on grounds
the immigration Service acted inn
properly in using immigration in
spectors as hearing examiners.
The current deportation process
was started again. with an exam
iner not connected with the in

u. 5. Attache Aboard
Ship Held by Pirates
Until $4,000 Is Paid
By the Assoeiaiad Pres,

TAIPEH. Formosa, Feb. Ia
Chinese pirates with a lust for
gold bars halted the little British
steamer Wingsang last night but
let it go for a ransom of 4,500
in cash and four wrist watches.
The 78 passengers on the Wing
sang dug in their pockets to pay
for the freedom of the ship.
Three were Americans-Edward
Stansbury of Colebrook, Conn,
attache of the United States EN-
bassy at Taipeh; his wife; and
Frank A. Peters of Paterson, N. j.,
an American oil company repre-
sentative at Hong Kong.
Crewman Shot in Leg.
The ship was in Formosa Strait,
about IS miles off the Red China
coast, when pirates opened fire
with anti-aircraft guns, a bazooka
and machine guns. One Chinese
crewman was shot in the leg.
After much shouting back and
forth through megaphones, Capt.
Ronald G. G. Stanton of Liverpool
went over to the freebooter ship
with several of his officers to be-
gin negotiations. Later Mr.. Stans-
bury went over.
Il showed the pirate chief my
passport" Mr.. Stansbury said to-
day. "The chief laughed and said,
what we want are gold bars worth
10000 United States dollars. Can
you get that?"
Watches Offered.
There were no gold bars on the
Wingsang. The pirate chief said
he would take cash instead. but no
jewelry.
The pirates kept asking for gold
bars.
Capt. Stanton pulled off his
watch and said this is all the
gold bars we have" The pirates
also took wrist watches from the
others and called it deal.
The pirate chief himself was
tall. slim and rather handsome"
Mr.. Stansbury said. HE had a
long intellectual face and didn't
look sinister at all. But that's
what made it so sinister"
Before World War II, Mr.. Stans-
bury worked as a Washington re-
porter for Time magazine. He was
in the Army during the war. and
returned to Time when the fight
ing ended. After serving in the
magazines New York Office, he re-
signed to write book. He joined
the State Department last May.
His first State Department assign
ment sent him to Formosa as as
sistant press attache at the United
States Embassy.
