Temperature Mounts
After 6O-M.P.H. Storm
Brings Rain and Hail

The District experienced its
warmeSt weather since January
today, on the heels of a wind. rain
and hail storm which caused scat
tered power and telephone failures
in the area.
Yesterday, the temperature
moved above A degrees this month
for the first time, jumping to 81
at 2:30 pm. Today the noon tenn
perature was So at noon. This
years high is IA on January Is.
1t was expected the temperature
would drop to around 40 tonight
and rise to about so tomorrow.
The Potomac Electric Power Co.
said damage in the District was
confined to scattered street light
failures. In Fairfax, Va, how
ever, the power was reoprted on
and off for five hours early this
morning. The same condition ex-
listed in Arlington and along Lee
boulevard.
The storm delayed some trains

during calendar year. on penalty
of forfeiting the. unused part of
the leave. y
Then, last October, when Con-
gress saholished the 26-days-a-
year annual. leave system and
voted a 13-to-26-day leave, the
restriction against accommodating
annual leave from year to year
was repealed. Consequently, en-
ployes may now carry over from
year to year all of their unused
leave. providing it does not ex-
ceed go days.
While there is no definite in
dication that the House Appropri-
alton Committee will once again
apply a leave accumulation ban
rider. some personnel officials are
auXiously awaiting the commit
tees independent Offices bill to
find out what, if anything, will
be done.
During hearings on the bill, the
committees members led by
Chairman Albert Thomas. Demo-
crat, Of Texas. closely questioned
Budget Bureau officials on the
language in the present law re-
garding leave accumulation.
Budget Bureau officials pointed
out that the reason Congress re-
pealed the leave accumulation ban
and once again permitted en-
ployes to save up unused leave
was that the leave benefits for
most employees were reduced, and
consequently the workers didn't
have as much leave to save.
Several members of the House
Appropriations subcommittee on
the independent Offices bill said
they are studying the leave ac-
cumulation situation. But they say
nothing definite has been proposed
as yet.

man Johnston.
The measure would retain gen.

gress' intention that this be done.
Mr.. Keating also pointed out
that. so far, Federal employees
have paid for complete operation
of the fund, in addition to money
voted for Congress. Federal en-
ployeS have contributed a total Of
$3,289,825,932, and the total dis
bursements have amounted to
$2.664.103,107.
In other words, the contribu-
tions of the employees have paid

temporary promotion. It also
would repeal the clause that bars
more than one grade promotions
in about half Of all Federal jobs.
In addition. agencies would be
allowed to make permanent ap-
pointments in Federal jobs upI
to the levels that existed in Sep
Itember, 1850. when the WhittenI
rider first went into effect. The
Post once Department would be
excluded entirely from the amend
|ment.
While temporary promotions
would continue to be the policy
under the bill the Civil Service
Commission would be given the
discretion. in a relatively few
cases, to authorize permanent
ones. The bill would also allow
Iemployes to obtain permanent
status in cases where they are
Ireinstated or promoted to a posi-
ton after being separated or de-
NOTED because of reduction lin
force program, provided the en-
Iploye had permanent status be-
fore.
In sponsoring the bill, Senator
Johnston denounced the Whitten
rider as having been "a major
factor in increasing the rate of
turnover Of Government employees
to a new high and also in lower
ing the morale Of Government
workers to an all-time low" Sen
ator Johnston also criticized the
commission for having con-
sistently failed in its obligation to
the Government and to its en-
ployes" by not presenting alterna-
tive proposals to Congress to ease
the riders effects. Senator john
son said the commission also had
added insult to injury by in
terpreting the Whitten rider to be
more severe than it actually was
intended to be.
