Atomic Age Public Enemies
Tossed Into Sea in Concrete

Howard L. Andrews of the Ma
tional Institutes of Health told
in a service pxblication about
the sea-going garbage-disposal
system.
They said some radioactive
waste products are weak enough
for safe disposal through ordi-
nary sewerage systems. Others
have to be buried either in the
ground or at sea. But. since
"land burial is often difficult and
of uncertain permanence," the
service relies on the sea.
The researchers hit on con-
crete vaults-about 4 feet long,
11a feet high and 112 feet wide
as containers. Each vault is
filed to near the top with radio
active hotstuff and then the
whole thing is capped with q
concrete mix. The finished prod
uct weighs up to 1900 pounds,
but each vault is easily handled
with q small chain hoist.
When q load of 10 to 20 tons
has accumulated, it is hauled to
Norfolk for the final run to the
atomic dumping grounds.

Postwar Unemployment
Sets New Low in j. :.
By the Assoeio,ed Pres.

The Commerce Department
estimates unemployment reached
new postwar low in the United
States during 1852, while en-
ployment went slightly above the
high level of 1851.
Non-farm employment, the
report said yesterday, hit what
was probably a new record in
1852.
Employment averaged 61.3 mil
lion in 1852, the department
said, mot appreciably higher
than in 1851 but 1.3 million
higher than the 1850 average.
Unemployment dropped to
IL million compared with 19
million in 1851 and 81 million
in 1850. Unemployment can drop
more than employment rises be-
cause not every one who loses
job or quits work seeks a new
Job.

Supreme Court Hears
Appeal in Rulings
On Civil Service

The Supreme Court will re-
sumo hearing of arguments
Monday on Civil Service Com
mission regulations which lower
courts here declared invalid as
applied to Federal hearing ex-
aminers.
The regulations cover employ
ment, pay, assignment. reduc-
ton in force and conditional
employment of some 277 exam
liners currently employed by
various Government agencies
Those examiners generally hold
hearings, report to their agen-
cies and recommend action in
regulatory matters.
Oral arguments began yester-
day in the Supreme Court on
an appeal by Government off,
cialS from rulings by the u. S
District Court and the u. S
Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Robert w
Ginnane, special assistant to the
Attorney General, declared that
the lower court decision was "in
clear conflict with the expressed
terms and history" of the Ad-
miniStrative Procedure Act.
The case originated when a
group of about $50 examiners,
organized as the Federal Trial
Examiners Conference; callenged
legality of the commissions reg
ulations issued in 1947.
Attorney Charles S. Rhyme,
who will present the conferences
argument to the Supreme Court
on Monday, contended in a brief
that the commissions regula-
tlons would enable agencies to
influence the decisions of exam
liners. He asserted that the
commissions record is one of
complete Illustration Of the Ad-
ministrative Procedure Act"
The lower court decision here
would mean, in effect. that all
hearing examiners of a particu-
lar agency must be in a single
salary grade and that the COM
mission could not provide for
promotion of an examiner from
one salary grade to a higher one
in the same agency. The de-
cision also would mean that ex-
aminers must be assigned to
cases in normal rotation and
that employment of examiners
cannot be terminated through
reduction in force.
