Ban on U.S.. Leave Saving Hits Only 1852

of the House Appropriations Sub
committee that originally approved
the rider, told the House when it
was enacted that it was meant to
apply only to 1852 annual leave
and not to former years.
In view of this plain statement
of intent, the only Interpretation
that can be made is that leave
from previous years is not in
volved, Mr.. Warren declared.
General Accounting Office Of
ficials explained that the ruling
was not an official one, since the
Controller General does not have
the AUTHORITY to rule on the
legality Of legislation handled by
Congress. However, since the Con-
troller General does have the au-
thority after legislation becomes
law to interpret the provisions for
the various Federal departments
and agencies. his opinion today is
regarded as an official interpreta-
ton of how the rider will be
handled should it become law.

The Controller General today
ruled that House-approved legis-
lation to bar further accumula-
tion of Federal Employees annual
leave would not affect leave saved
in former years.
The ruling by Controller Cen
eral Lindsay Warren set at rest
the fears of Federal employees
that their leave accumulated be-
fore this year would be abolished
by the legislation.
Mr.. Warren made his views
known in a letter to Chairman
Johnston of the Senate Civil
Service Committee, who had
asked for clarification of the
issue.

No money down, three years to
pay.
This was again the basis on
which household appliances were
being offered today to Washington
area residents by some stores. II
stemmed from the Federal Re-
serve Boards action in suspending
controls on installment buying.
Merchants hoped easier terms
would bring reluctant customers
back into the market.
The three years to pay applies
to so-called white good" s"-re-
frigerators, washing machines

A two-year pay-off period was
offered in television sales. Dealers
hoped this would help move the
more expensive models.
In the case of smaller house
hold appliances costing around
500, the buyer could get 1S
months to pay.
Time Limit Removed.
Under the reserve boards rule,
now lifted. a IS per cent down
payment was required, with a
maximum of 18 months to pay off
the balance. In the case of auto
mobiles the regulation called for
one-third down and Is months.
It is expected that for automo-
biles, dealers will extend the ID
months to "a months, with the
one third down payment retained.

the National Automobile Dealers

workers to use all of their 1852
annual leave by June 30, 1853,
or else lose the unused portion.
However, the rider was so
vaguely worded that Civil Service
Commission officials as we'll as
Senator Johnston, felt that it
would wipe out all annual leave
accumulated from former years.
The practice of allowing leave to
accumulate is widespread.
In his letter today. the Con-
troller General said leave would
not be wiped out If the rider be-
came law. The amendment is
now being considered by the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee,
now holding hearings on the 1858
independent Offices measure.

Maury L. Nee. chairman of the

tion, said that off hand he did not
believe lifting the regulation would

Department stores also did not
look for much change in terms or
effect on business. Philip M. Tai

Woodward & Lathrop's, said, how
ever, there might be temporary
|Spurt in appliance sales.
Department stores always have
required down payments. It was
indicated that this may be re-
duced from Is to 10 per cent in
some cases.
William G. Hills, executive sec
retary of the Electric Institute of
Washington, said appliance deal
ers are hopeful of increased sales.
People have had their hands in
their pockets, worrying about
taxes and what's ahead" he said.
This may bring them out again"
There appeared to be no imme-
diate reaction to the prospect of
easier terms. One appliance and
TV dealer said: People didn't
break the door down this morning
to buy. But I believe it will help
in selling higher-priced goods"
Now Fix Own Terms.
Some persons believed the Re-
serve Boards action, announced
late yesterday, amounted to an or
der to make sales at no down pay
ment. This, Of course. is not the
case. Suspension Of Regulation w
meant that merchants could fix
their own credit terms as formerly.
Regulation x-by which the
Government regulates terms for
real estate purchaSes-remains
unchanged. Of1cials said there
is little likelihood Of suspension
of this.
The prime reason behind the
suspension. according to reserve
board officials. was the showing
by a survey that goods covered by
the regulation were ample to meet
demands.
Regulation w was imposed
first in September. 1850, to put a
brake on the buying that followed
the outbreak of the Korean war.

Dealers Emphasize,

Washington area motorists to-
day were urged to use gasoline
cautiously as a national oil work
ers' strike continued.
The Retail Gasoline Dealers
Association here emphasized there
is no shortage, but the warning
came as a move to maintain re-
serve supplies. Specifically, driv-
ers were asked to refrain from
using gasoline unnecessarily

ican Automobile Association said

AmOcO Stations RatiOned
In the Washington area, ef-
fects of the strike were noticeable
only in Amoco and Lord Baltimore
stations, where gasoline was
rationed at the rate of five gallons
to a customer. That firms short
age was due to a strike of 1876 men
at the American Oil Company's
supply depot at Rosslyn.

Mr.. Truman recited the steps
that had been taken:
/. The extension of aid to Greece
and Turkey to keep those coun-
tries from falling under the iron
2. The move to balk the Com
munists in Korea.
Up to today, Mr.. Truman con-
tinued, we have been successful
in preventing a third world war.
But conditions at present, he
added, are very grave. There has
been a steel strike, he amplified,
there is a strike in the oil in
dustry and there is trouble in
the copper industry.
Other Difficulties Cited.
There are difficulties in Con-
gress, he continued. over the for
eign aid program, where both the

mittees have cut into the $7.9 bill
lion appropriation sought by him.
This latter, the President said,
would seem to imply the necessity
for these things are at end. He
repeated an assertion made before
a housing conference Tuesday
night:
What is happening now is right
down Stalin's alley.
This would seem to sum up his
views as to the prospects of last
ing peace, the President said. but
If we can keep on an even keel and
keep the foreign aid program go
ing there will be no world war.
He said he hoped we can get
things Strengthened out and keep
away from third world war and
then we will have lasting peace.
When the steel trouble came up
for discussion, the President said
he did not propose to talk aboui
that matter while it Is in the Su-

is working hard to settle the oil
strike and that the point has not
yet been reached where applica-

law would be considered.
