OF course. in view of the Con-
'troller Generals ruling that the
rider applies only to 1852 leave,
such employees also will receive
cash payment for leave accumu-

OVERTIME-Lack of a Quorum
caused cancellation of yesterdays
scheduled meeting of the Senate
Civil Service Committee on the
bill to increase overtime payments
to the Governments classified en-
ployeS. Seven of the Senators
were out Of town. The meeting
was rescheduled for Tuesday.
INACTION-Probably the worst
failing of the Civil Service Com
mission is its inability to reach
decisions. A number of policy
matters have been delayed for
months, even years. because the
commission can't make UP its
mind.
A case in point is the proposed
|change IN force
procedures. The system is the
most complicated and confused
monstrosity ever dreamed up by a
group of bureaucrats. There are
some commission officials who ad-
init the regulations were drawn up
that way to deliberately embarrass
Representative Whitten, Dem
ocrat, of Mississippi, author of the
Whitten rider. The idea was to
show Mr.. Whitten that his rider
was so bad that it was impossible
to have an effective reduction-in-
force program.
At any rate, the commission S
staff and its advisory unit, the
Federal Personnel Council, months
ago worked out a plan to scrap
the present reduction-in-fo force
regulations and replace them with
a simpler system. There are now
26 different categories and sub
categories Of job retention rights,
with the result that few Fed
eral workers know their rights in
this regard.
But the commission keeps daw-
ding along. with no date in sight
for issuing the new orders. Mean
while, the current appropriation
bills before Congress will neces-
state scattered dismissals in Fed
eral agencies. While the reduc-
Evening star., 1952-05-16

tions-in-force will be few, the en-
ployes involved will want to make
sure they are not being cheated
OF their rights. That's why it's
imperative that the new proce-
dures be put in operation imme-
diately. All the commission seems
concerned about these days is its
truth" campaign designed to i'm
press the American public that
everything is peachy in Govern
ment.
SOCIAL SECURITY-The 750,-
900 Federal temporary indefinite
workers covered under social Sc
curity would get an increase in
bmef1ts if a bill sponsored by
Representative Doughton, Demo
crat, OF North Carolina, becomes
law.
Mr.. Doughton is chairman Of
the House Ways and Means Com.
mittee, to which the bill has beer

Kerr, and various Government

"But 40 hours would be only 31a

Senate Crime Probers
Call Bullock and Wife
For Quiz on Finances

| Senate District crime investiga-
tors will reopen their investiga-
ton next Wednesday by question:
ing Police Inspector Albert I. Bull
lock and his wife about their per-
sonal finances.
The Nicely subcommittee had a
United States marshal subpoena
the couple late yesterday.
Arnold Bauman, crime commit
tee counsel, refused to discuss the
nature Of the questioning next
Wednesday, but it was clear that
the Bullock finances would be the
principal subject before the prob
ers. Wednesdays meeting will be
closed.
Returns to Duty.
The police inspector returned to
duty this week after more than
six months absence. He was in
dicted last fall on gambling con-
Spiracy charges, but was acquitted
in January. District Court Judge
James r. Kirkland ruled then that
the Government prosecutors had
not produced enough evidence to
convict the officer.
Inspector Bullock was linked by
the government with the Charles
E. Nelson numbers ring. This
multi-million dollar racket was
exposed last year by the Kefauver-
lO'Conor Senate Crime Investigat-
ing Committee
Mr.. Bauman previously criti-
cized Inspector Bullock for taking
too long to answer a police finan-
cial QUESTIONABLE circulated by
the Senate committee. The Com
missioners ordered all policemen
to answer the QUESTIONABLE with
in 10 days. The committee said
Inspector Bullock ignored the
order but the Commissioners took
no action against the officer.
Retirement Requested.
The inspector has applied for
retirement from the police de-
partment. Maj. Robert v. Muir
ray, chief of police, said he will
make no recommendation on the
application until the Senate COM
mittee completes its investiga-
ton.
After his indictment, the in
spector was suspended from duty
On acquittal. the suspension was
lifted but he went on leave. He
returned to duty eight days ago
and complained of feeling ill.
Doctors ordered him on sick leave.
An examination disclosed his
physical condition to be good.
So the officer returned to work
Tuesday.
Maj. Murray said he would
Question Inspector Bullock about
testimony before the grand jury
that indicted him last fall. He
said the officer would remain in
his own office suite and would
not wear a police uniform for the

House Votes Tax Cut
For Lawmakers 0nIy
With Happy Dispatch

The House has voted to reduce
taXeS-lts own.
Yours will have to wait.
The tax cut for Congressman
sailed through the House late yes
terday without any floor explana-
ton OF what was happening.
The House was debating a $62
million appropriation bill to pay
the expenses of Congress and
other legislative agencies. Up
popped Democratic Leader Nc
Cormack, of Massachusetts,. with
a complex amendment. Every
body shouted approval.
The amendment, when exam
ined closely. boiled down to a rul-
ing that for tax purposes, men,
bers of Congress reside in their
home States. That means that
they can deduct from their in
comes all their expenses in WASH
.ington. where they spend most of
their time.
The Internal Revenue Bureau
has ruled previously that Con-
gresSmen can not deduct their
expenses here. Representative
Powell. Democrat, of New York
has been arguing this point with
Internal Revenue, and now has
gone to Tax Court over $2.749 that
IIntrenal Revenue claims he still
owes for 1945.
Will Save About $4,000.
If the new bill is approved by
the Senate, most Congressman
will be able to save about $4,000
yearly on income taxes. Senators
and Representatives receive SAL
aries of $l2,500 yearly, plus
$2,500 tax-free expense allowance.
III a Congressman spends most of
his $l2.500 in Washington, he
probably will pay little, if any tax.
Representative Mccormack told
reporters that the amendment
would put Congressman ION the
same footing with others who
come to Washington on business"
He explained that businessmen are
entitled to deduct their "out of
town" expenses while in Washing
ton, so congressman should have
the same right.
Votes Office Allowance.
While voting to reduce its taxes.
the House also voted to increase
the real income of some mem
iberS. An amendment adopted, 1873
to 8, provides that if a House
member can not find free Office
in Government buildings back
home, he can collect from Uncle
Sam 5000 annually for rental Of
office space in private building.
Senators already receive an Of
flee allowance, so here, again, the
Representatives felt they were just
catching up."
The House also added to the bill
81 500 for installing more traffic
signs on Capitol Hill. Then by
voice vote members passed the
whole bill, very pleased with them
selves.

Backers
Open Drive 10 Force
Bill Out Of Committee

Washington home-rule advo-
Gates today announced a new drive
for enactment of limited self-gov-
ernment.
A delegation of about 40 cam
IpaignerS will call on members of
the House pext Wednesday. They
will ask support of a discharge
petition to force the Senate-passed
home-rule bill from the House Dis
|trict Committee.
The plan was disclosed by
Richard Friedman, chairman OF
the Washington Home Rule Com
mittee. He sent letter to men,
bers of the House explaining the
Forthcoming drive.
Petition Already Filed.
The discharge petition already
has been filed in the House. 1t
would require 218 signatures to
take the bill out of the District
Committee.
The bill recently was tabled by
the District Judiciary subcommit-
tee.
The subcommittee instead ap-
proved and sent to the District
Committee a bill to give Washing
ton an elected non-voting delegate
in the House. This measure has
been held up by the District Com
mittee for further consideration.
In his letter to House members
Mr.. Friedman said the home rule
campaigners will TASK that you
state whether you are willing to
sign the discharge petition. and
when you will do So"
He also asked the members to
leave word with their staffs on the
issue should they be out of town.
Backed by Citizen Groups.
A number of citizen groups
Mr.. Friedman said. feel that the
only way Washington can now
obtain home rule Is through the
discharge petition route" The
groups he named included the
Central Suffrage Conference, Dis
trict of Columbia Federation OF
Churches. League of Women
Voters. Washington Home Rule
Committee, AFL, CIO and Young
Democrats.
Efforts of home rulers to get
enough signatures on a similar
discharge petition failed in the
81st Congress. At that time the
House District Committee had
tabled a different Senate-passed
measure for limited self-govern-
ment.
