The meat is being given away
by the Agriculture Department.
It is part of 80 million pounds
bought under the Governments S

The District public school sys-
TENS share is $4,000 pounds

these items last year.

Police Await Autopsy Report
In Stobbing of Virginia Woman
Alexandria Wife
Found in Creek,
Knife in Heart

Police awaited an autopsy re-
port for information in the case
of an Alexandria mother whose
stabbed body was found in a
creek near her home yester-
day.
They hope the medical report
will throw light on whether Mrs.
Katherin Won Bergen met with
foul play after she disappeared
last Saturday.
The 35-year-old woman was
found at $50 pm, lying face
up in about two feet of water.
Protruding from the vicinity of
her heart was a common pairing
knife, the 3-inch blade and
inches of the shaft buried in the
body. On her throat were two
apparently superficial knife
marks.
The fully clothed body was
discovered at the foot of Po-
tomac avenue, one-quarter of a
mile south of her home at 1853
Wakefield drive, New Alexandria
in an area where an air, water
and land search was made for
the missing woman over the
week end.
Fairfax County police, weigh
ing the facts in hand, said it
could be a case either of murder
or suicide.
Detectives Sergt. Cecil Brown
said Mrs. Won Bergen was Suf-
fering from nervous disorder
and had returned home only last
Wednesday after spending four
days at Alexandria Hospital.
Her husband, Edward Won
Bergen, and neighborS told Sergt
Brown that Mrs. Won Bergen
was depressed because she felt
she was not being good mother
She had talked suicide but never
attempted it, Sergt. Brown said
1t is believed she left home

when a neighbor heard some one

than 80 days of accumulated
leave. Whereas under the Thom-
as rider they could not accumu-
late any more leave, they now
can save up to 80 days.
But for the great majority of
Federal employees who have in
excess of 80 days leave, the new
law hurts them even more than
the old one.
For one thing, Congress has
decreed that all employees even
tually will have to get their leave
down to 80 days. The Civil
Service Commission and the
General Accounting Office al
ready have ordered their en-
ployes to begin a systematic cut
back to 80 days over the next
few years and the rest of the
Governments departments and
agencies will soon issue similar
orders.
At least, under the Thomas
rider, employees could have kept
the leave they already had ac-
cumulated.
Also, the new law prevents de-
parting employees from receiving
cash for unused leave for any
current year. They are entitled
to cash payments for the amount
of leave they had accumulated
at the beginning of the year, but
all the unused leave of a cur
rent year will have to be taken
as vacations before they leave
the Federal service. Survivors of
deceased employees are even more
Disseminated against-they are
not entitled to cash payments
for the unused leave of a current
year left by the employe. There
fore. the entire amount of un-
used leave for the year is lost.

This was the latest develop
