gress was clear that agencies
should allow the employees suffi-
cient time before leaving the
Government in which to take
their terminal leave covering the
unused portion of the leave for
a current year.
Chairman Carlson of the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
the other co-chairman of the
conferees is not in town, but one
of his top aides said Senator
Carlson feels very strongly that
terminal leave vacations should
be allowed.
Civil Service Commission Off
cials express confidence that, in
most cases, agencies will allow
employees sufficient time to take
their unused leave as vacations
before leaving the Government.
They declare that prior to 1914
a similar system existed in Gov
ernment and only in a relatively
few cases were employees denied
the right to use terminal leave.
New Law COnfuseS.
The present situation arises
from Congress action in enact
ing the new leave law. Congress
has forbidden Federal employees
from being paid cash for unused
annual leave for a current year.
as has been the case since 1914.
In view of this, the Civil Service
Commission asked the Controller
General if, in the event an en-
ploye didn't get the chance to
use terminal leave Qeave with
pay) before leaving the Govern
ment, the commission could
credit the employe with the un-
used leave when the worker
found a job in another Govern
ment agency or eventually re-
turned to his old one.
The Controller General replied
that the law does not permit this
and that it would be illegal.
The Controller General did say
that it was the intent of Con-
gress that employees be given
Evening star., 1953-08-24

sufficient terminal leave to cover
the unused portion of their leave
for current year. But he added
that. in emergencies, agencies
had the right to deny this leave.
In most cases, agencies have
always allowed employees suffi-
cient time for terminal leave.
But there are situations where
an employe would be affected.
For example, when an agency
is faced with a sudden budget
cut in June and wants to make
an immediate reduction in force
to avoid paying lump sum cash
payments for accumulated leave
in the new fiscal year, there may
not be enough time to give ter
minal leave to an employe.
Out of Luck.
In past years, the employe did
not lose because he was given
cash for the unused leave. Now,
however, an employe in such a
situation would be out of luck
and would forfeit the unused
leave for the current year.
Meanwhile, James Campbell,
president of the AFL American
Federation of Government EN-
ployes, has declared that in view
of Congress intent on the mat
ter, no agency would be justified
in any case in denying terminal
leave. He instructed all locals
of the union, both heere and
throughout the country, to re-
port to the national Office any
such case where terminal leave
is denied. Mr.. Campbell said
the union would start court ac-
ton in such cases to force the
agency to give terminal leave to
the employe.
CASH PAYMENTS-Th has
been more confusion among en-
ployes about the new leave law
than perhaps any other Federal
employe legislation in many
years. This is due to the COM
plexity of the new regulations.
One of the provisions causing
the most confusion is the one
governing the cash payment for
unused leave to employees depart
ing from the Government.
Some employees think that
cash payment cannot be made
for leave in excess of 80 days.
This is not so. Employees who
had more than 80 days at the
start of this leave year are en-
titled to cash payment for this
amount of leave when separated
from the Government.
For example, an employe who
had go days at the start of the

Last Year Seen as Worst
For u. 5. in Polio Cases
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Aug. "a. The
National Foundation for Infan-
tile Paralysis says 1852 was the
worst epidemic year for the
United States but also was the
year of greatest promise in the
fight against the disease.
The March of Dimes organiza-
ton. in it's annual report released
yesterday. said it spent almost
$25 million last year for treat
ment of some 10000 persons
Many we're old cases; others were

Arlington School Aid
Conference Arronqed

Arlington'S delegation to the
Virginia General Assembly has
arranged for a meeting with Gov.
Battle to discuss the possibility
of State aid for the county's
school construction program.
The appointment tentatively
has been set for Monday, Dele
gate j. Maynard Magruder an
nounced today. Other members
of the delegation are State Sen
ator Charles r. Fenwick> and
Delegate George Damn. All are
Democrats.
Lack of funds is threatening a
breakdown in the construction
program. The school board has
been unable to sell a $2.8 mil
lion bond issue because three of
its members are involved in liti-
cation challenging the right of
Federal employees to hold Office.

leave year is entitled to cash
payment for so days. The only
way the 30-day limitation figures
is in the case of an employe who
had less than 80 days of leave
at the start of the year or per-
sons who enter the Government
service in the future. These
employees can only accumulate up
to 80 days of annual leave.
OF course, agencies have been
directed by Congress to see to
it that all employees leave is
eventually reduced to a maxi
mum of 80 days over a reasonable
period of years. But until this
goal is reached, employees are
entitled to-a maximum payment
for the leave they had accumu-
lated at the start of this year.
Another miSconception among
employees is that the Thomas
leave rider, which was repealed
py congress several months ago
when the new leave law went
on the books, will cause employees
to lose some of their 1852 leave
The fact is that the Thomas
rider is dead and does not affect
any unused portion of 1852 leave
This decision was issued by the
Controller General.
The Controller General also
ruled that any employe who is
separated on or before August
81 must be paid in cash for all
annual leave to his credit. After
that date, employees can only
be paid IN cash for the amount
of leave they had accumulated
as of the beginning of this leave

but the fact remains that the
United States is anxious to get

Rabbit Run
Presents
Theatre"

A behind the scenes look in
show business as depicted by
Somerset Vaughan, one of the
great writer's of today, is the
background for Rabbit Run
Theatres presentation of Thea
tire" for six performances from
Tuesday, August IL through
Sunday, August 16. Mr.. Maug-
ham wrote Theatre" as a play
in collaboration with Guy Boil
ton, baSing it on one of his
most successful novels. In the
play he has combined his
smart, polished wit with a
touching story to produce an
immortal work that alternates
between sparkling laughter and
tender romance.
Filled with the glamor of the
stage, Theatre" tells the story
of a great actress and her sup
poSedly devoted actor-husband.
Actually the two are divorced
and merely living together plat
onically for business reasons.
Into this unhappy life come a
bevy of show people, some with
touching faithfulneSs and others
with feigned loyalty. Under
the strain of these conflicts
the famous team breaks up
completely. He goes off with
a wealthy woman while she
carries on alone, producing a
play with traditional "show
must go on" altitude. OF course,
they are together again at the
end in one of the most thrilling
final scenes ever written for
the stage.
Connie Schneider does the
role of Julia, a part made
famous on Broadway by Cor
nelia Otis Skinner. Richard
Simmons plays Michael Cos
selyn while Mary Lois Baker,
Mary Goldwater, Diane Gent
ner, John EameS, Jack Peter
son, Don Brockett, Austin
O'Tole and James McGonigle
portray the typical show folks
who form such an important
background for Theatre"
New York critics acclaimed
this Somerset Vaughan play
because he managed to pro-
vide a laugh-filled highly en-
tertaining evening and at the
same time give a real picture
of the warm glamor of theater.
