open daily from 3 to pm. In adj
dition, evening hours on Thursday
will be from Z to 10 pm.
The number of volumes which
are included in the Library since
it has been taken over by the Coun-
ty is 5000. Approximately 1900
volumes formerly were included. In
addition, the Library will receive
an appropriation this year from
the County totaling $500 with
which to increase the number of
books.
Co-chairman of the committee in
charge of arrangements for the
Open House are Mrs. T. Yellot
Candy and Miss Dorothy Wether-
aid. Other members are Mr.. Hamil-
ton Treadway, Mr.. Calvin Martin.
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Michael, Miss
Beatrice Moore, Mrs. Norbeth

By the Assoeioied Press

A coffin containing the body of
a United States airman was tossed
into the ocean yesterday to pre-
vent a giant Stratofreighter plane
from crashing into the Atlantic
with 81 persons. the Air Force
announced last night.
Three of the huge C-97's four
engines had failed and the plane
was flying on instruments in bad
weather on q fight from the
Azores to the United States. But
those aboard took time to say a
last prayer for the man in the
coffin.
The Air Force and the Military
Air Transport Service praised the
pilot, Capt. Charles F. Berry OF
Washington, D. c.. for bringing
the Stratofreighter in safely. The
plane landed at Argentia Naval
Air Station, Newfoundland.
The trouble started some SOC
miles out to sea when one engine
went out. Soon another went
dead. Then the propeller of q
third engine began to oscillate
and the engine became useless.
Quickly the plane began to lose
altitude, dropping from 14,00C
feet to 5000 as the crewmer
tossed everything possible over
board.
Capt. Berry said he regretted
having to throw the coffin out

Some U. 5. Employees
Fired for Dis|oya|ty
Manage TO Get Back
New Civil Service Rules
Bor Them as Ineligible
For At Least ; Years
By Joseph Young

Some Government employees
fired for disloyalty have managed
to get back in the Federal service,
The Star learned last night.
The disclosure came as Govern
ment officials sought to plug loop
holes in the law that permit
Communists and other Subversives
to get back in Government service.
The Civil Service Commission
several days ago issued new regu-
lations that bar employees fired on
disloyalty charges from eligibility
for Federal employment for at
least three years.
Applied to Federal Applicants.
Until now, only Federal job ap-
plicants found ineligible because
of loyalty charges have been
banned from reapplying for Gov
.ernment employment for at least
three years.
A loophole in the loyalty regu-
lations has permitted discharged
Government workers in loyalty
cases to get new Federal jobs
without any time restriction.
Federal officials disclose that
the number of these employees
who found new Government posi-
tions was not large. But it was
being done on a sufficient scale
to cause loyalty officials deep con-
Germ. That's why the three-year
ban was imposed.
Cites Shipyard Practice.
The officials said that the prac-
tice was particularly noticeable
in Government shipyards and
other defense installations, where
dismissed employees would get jobs
in other defense units.
AS far as is known, they were
eventually discovered and dis
missed, but sometimes this took
three or more months. This is
because it took that amount of
time to check their previous rec
ordS.
Government loyalty officials
hope that the new regulations will
help prevent repetitions of such
incidents. The Federal Loyalty
Board will alert all Federal de.
partments and agencies to be or
guard against such things hap.
pening again.
