In ; States Finished

BALTIMORE, Dec. GOV. A.
Callahan. new District Commits
sioner of the Federal Internal Rev.
enue Bureau announced it has
completed the initial phase of re-
organization in the three States
under his Observation-Disclosures,
Virginia and West Virginia.
Mr.. Callahan said this has in
volved a shuffling of personnel,
with many employees assigned to
new jobs. and the Encouragement
of physical layouts in Offices
throughout the district.
The purpose he said is Ito make
the filing of income tax returns
during the months ahead as easy
and painless as possible"
Federal tax returns on 1852 in
come are due by next March Is.
Mr.. Galatians tri-State ter
ritory is administered under State
directors. Virginia's State head
quarters is at Richmond, West
Virginia's at Parkersburg. The
director in Baltimore has jurisdic-
ton over the District of Columbia
as we'll as Maryland.
Mr.. Callahan said space avail
able for internal revenue Offices
in the District has been made
quate for many years. What
space has been available, he went
on, has been unsuitable for good
office layouts for taking care of
the filing rush which develops
each year in early March.

Man Freed Of Dope Charge
On u. 5. Attorneys Motion

A man was cleared yesterday of
a narcotic possession charge, after
going to trial, when United States
Attorney Charles M. Irelan moved
for judgment of acquittal in the
interest of justice"
Judge David A. Pine acquitted
the defendant, Wilbur U. Ward,
80. colored. of the 1000 block of
Girard street NE.
Ward had testified he was a
narcotic user and had gone to a
house in the 300 block of Sher-
man avenue NV. to obtain a
narcotic. A woman there asked
him to give her a shot and handed
him needle, he said.
Police arrived about then, and
information Ward gave them was
used later to obtain warrant to
search the Sherman avenue
premises. Police found nothing on
the raid but pressed the narcotic
charge against Ward.
Mr.. Irelan began looking into
the case personally, after the pro-
Secution sought to introduce as
evidence against Ward a state
ment the defendant gave police.
Defense counsel protested. The
statement was not admitted as
evidence
Mr.. Irelan described the case
against Ward as not strong in
the first place.

those who have no permanent
civil service status.
In each of these three groups,
persons entitled to veterans pref
erence are in Subgroup A, and the
others in Subgroup B, to indicate
superior retention rights of vet
Grams over non-veteranS in their
particular category. For example,
a veteran in the career-condi-
tional category would have job re-
tention rights over a ncn-veteran
in the career-conditional group.
But this veteran would not have
job priority rights over a nom
veteran in the career employe
group.
At Bottom of List.
Under the new procedures, all
strictly temporary workers and all
career or otherwise
with unsatisfactory" performance
ratings will be dropped to the
bottom of the retention list. Pro-
stationary career workers, who now
have top job rights, will drop down
one group under the new proce-
dures. This will place them ir
competition with other career en-
ployes, whose appointments also
are subject to some limitation.
Moving up to the second reten-
ton group - career-conditional-
will be reinstated career workers
regardless of the length of theil
break in service. These employees
will be put in competition with
career workers serving under tenn
porary promotions. However, there
is one important difference. Wher
employees who are career-condi-
tional because of promotions drop
back to their former permanent
grades. they have all the rights OF
full career employees. Those who
are career-conditional because OF
reinstatement have no permanent
grades to drop back to.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1952-12-20


There will be only three major
layoff groups as result of the
new procedures: Career, Career
Conditional and Indefinite. They
will have Job priority rights in
the order listed above. In other
words. in a layoff program, the
temporary indefinite employee
would be the first to be dismissed;
the career-conditional worker,
second, and the career employe
last.
Veterans Preference Limited.
Career employees include those
who now have civil service per-
manent status in the jobs they
are occupying. Career-c conditional
workers are those who have per-
manent civil service status in
some job in Government but are
temporary-indefinite employees in
their present Jobs as a result of
promotion, transfer or reinstate-
ment. Indefinite employees are

Unofficial Bid 10 STAY
As Reserve Chairman
Reported for Martin
BY the Associated Pres.

Persons close to President-elec
Eisenhower are reported to have
told William McChesney Martin
Ijr., they hope he will stay on a.
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Board.
However. there has been no for.
NAL request from Gen. Eisenhower
or his top spokesman, Informed
sources said yesterday.
Mr.. Martin made no comment
ION published reports that he hac
been asked to continue, after the
change of administrations JAN
Iuary 20. as director of the seven
man board which dominates the
Nations monetary policy.
Strong for Independence.
Mr.. Martin is known to feel
strongly that Congress intended
the board to be politically indie
pendent. and to consider it a
duty as we'll as privilege to fill
out his term as a member of the
board if not chairman.
The Federal Reserve is financed
by its member banks. Members
of the board are appointed for
14-year terms by the President,
with the approval of the Senate
The President, without Senate
action, designates a board men,
Der to be chairman for four years.
Mr.. Martins term as a member
expires January 81, 1856. His
term as chairman runs to April
1855. There has never been a
test Of whether a President could
remove a chairman before his
four-year term expired.
Hard dollar Advocate.
Mr.. Martin has backed, and en-
forced. monetary policies in gen.
eral line with expressed Repub-
lican desires for a hard dollar
that is, a dollar that does not lose
value.
Authoritative sources said:
l. Mr.. Martin would refuse t,
yield the Craftsmanship if he fel
his successor would endange
policies he believes are essentia
to the national economy.
2. He would give serious con
sideration to stepping out. a
chairman. if the person proposed
in his place represented policie
he felt to be safe, and il he fel
he would be throwing wrench
in the works by clinging to hi
post.

December Is Holiday
will Cost Government
Several Million Dollars

1t will cost the Government at
least several million dollars in
overtime payments to employees
as a result of the December 26
holiday.
The daily Federal payroll
amounts to somewhere around
$35 million. How much of this
will be direct loss to the Gov
eminent, however, is hard to tell.
This is because most employees
will have to make up for the
Ipiled-up work by toiling a little
harder when they come back from
the holiday.
It is the matter of overtime
payments that will cost the Gov
eminent money.
Postal Workers Setup.
Postal workers who work on
December 26 present no problem
in this regard, since the law pro-
vides them only with compensa-
tory day off. It's estimated that
at least half Of the postal work.
ers will work on the day after
Christmas. They have to be given
a compensatory day off within
four weeks from that date.
It's estimated that about 10
per cent of the Governments
100000 per diem (blue collar
workers in the defense agencies
will work on December 26. AS
result. they will receive pre-
MUM overtime payments Of dou-
BILE their regular days pay.
The number of Government
classified employees who will work
on December 26 is very small, but
those who do will get double over
time payment.
Over 81 Million.
Federal officials cannot give too
accurate an estimate at this time
as to how much overtime pay
ments will cost on December 26,
since they don't know exactly how
many employees will work on that
day. However, they give a rough
estimate that the cost will be
somewhere around 81 million to
SO million.
The Federal Governments set
up is more flexible than the Dis
trict governments. The District
had to deny its employees a De-
cember rs holiday because Of the
100000 overtime pay that would
have been involved. With inf
nitely greater expenditures, Fed
eral agencies can more readily
absorb these payments by effect
ing various other economies.

Newly Released Movies Show
Blasts on Bikiini and Eniwetok

Newly released movies Of the
atom test at Eniwetok and Bikini
were shown here yesterday against
the background of the romantic
South Seas.
The spectacular films of John
Craig were presented at Ma
tional Geographic Society lecture
in Constitution Hall before a large
audience. Mr.. Craig explained
these were pictures he began to
take as long ago as the spring of
1916, before the two bomb tests
at Bikini.
The more recent greenhouse"
and Sandstone" experiments on
Eniwetok atoll were filmed in de-
tail. On the shores of Eniwetok
lagoon, a test city was built to re-
ceive the atomic blasts.
Pictures filmed from concrete
bunkers by remote control showed
full-scale factory buildings of
concrete and steel being blown
away like straw shacks in a ty-
phoon.
There were numerous pictures
of robot aircraft and ground We
hicles used to explore the effects
of the blast in areas where radio
activity was SO strong no man
could enter them and live.
The pilotless aircraft included
jet fighters and four-engine Flying
Fortresses. One weird monster
which drew applause was a robot
controlled tank. which rode into
a contaminated section and
scooped up sand with a small
power shovel rugged in front of
the treads. The tank was oper-
ated by radio directions issued
from a helicopter lowering high
overhead.

Editorial
IMPROVING CONDUCT IN PUBLIC

IMPROVING CONDUCT IN PUBLIC
IT is UNFORTUNATE that public mention should Be
made Of the mforgivable conduct Of some Of our fellow Cit
zens in public places. High on this list is the nude bathing at
the lagoon. Just because the lagoon is a little out Of town,
many men and boys take the opportunity to plunge in in the
nude. If the lagoon were ten miles out, Of in some remote
spot Of the island these chances might not be 50 ridiculous,
but the place is within walking distance of the town, and
what is more, there is a good road nearby, and many cars.
traverse this road. With the permanent bridge and the road
heading towards Little Bay and the radio station this road is
being used more and more each day. It does not take much
imagination to see what would happen if men and boys con
tnue to use the lagoon is a promiscelous manner.
II LAGOON Ii A a number Of advantages, particu-
larly to those who do not have car. It IS within walking dis.
tance, and 4 fairly good beach. Such a combination will
undoubtedly attract many on certain days, particularly on
week-ends. However, the conduct Of some of our young men
and boys dscourages the frequent and popular use Of this
spot.
THIS is a matter with which the Police cannot properly
cope. While there will be proper conduct when the law is
present, yet there is little 81 no meaning if the law IS violated
the moment a uniformed officer turns away. To enforce this
law would mean keeping an officer on the spot throughout
the day. and this IS Just as impractical as it is undesirable.
But byer and above this is the implication that we cannot Ell
Joy our public places without the watchful eye Of the law,
and that eye being constantly upon us.
HSHOULD NOT Be necessary 70 dwell at length upon
this matter, Everyone who can read land the percentage Of
Hteracy IS very high here need not be reminded, and these
can pass the word on to the Others. However, IN these sitla-
tions the offenders are not the general public, but 2 few who
thoughtessly insist on violating the law # these violators
would but remember that their conduct prevents their fell
low citizens from using the place freely we are sure that they
would stop these habits, and conduct themselves to the APP
prevail Of their fellow citizens.
LET'S MAKE Lagoon a pleasant, decent and
agreeable place to enjoy 4 swim.
