Frankly. it is the first time we

complaint is that large hospital

American University now is

If the Spring Valley residents
succeed in getting the campus re-
zoned to Residential A restricted,
a hospital could not be built. But
it would not interfere with other

country.
"On this December 7, 1852. the
11th anniversary of the surprise
attack on Pearl Harbor, wish to
call to your attention the fact
that an attack of this nature can
happen again. Because of the i'm
mense destructive power of the

That's why for the next few years

SWAMPED - Republican Sen.
ators and Representatives report
they are being swamped with jok
requests from the party faithful
as we'll as constituents in theil
States and districts.
They say the volume Of letters
containing requests for Federal
jobs keeps growing by the day.
The number of job requests has
surprised Republicans who felt
that in this era of virtually full
employment there would not be
too much demand for Federal
jobs. The requests, however. have
been enormous.
Most of them center around the
better-paying jobs. There have
been very few persons interested
in the ordinary run-of the mill
job paying $4,000 to $4,000 a year

these job requests is providing a
king-size headache for the legis-
lators.
Because the large majority of
jobs are covered by civil service,
there won't be nearly enough posi-
