Singer Joins Chorus
Against Proposed
Fare Increase

A former singer today joined
the chorus against the proposed
Capital Transit fare increases.
Charles Trowbridge Tittmann
of 1718 Connecticut avenue NV.
declared as the District public
utilities hearing resumed that
under no circumstances" should
the $2.40 weekly pass be abol-
ished. Mr.. Tittman did con-
cede, however, that raising the
price of the pass either 10 or 20
cents might be justified"
AS for the price of cash and
token fares, he said. these are
"even now too high for the pub
lie to pay with equanimity."
The 71-year-old singer took
the company's side on at least
one point. He said he opposes
institution of a weekly permit
which would be used along with
a lower cash fare per passengV

Interior Can't Pluck
Own Political PIums,
Top Official Says

A top Interior Department
official has criticized the Civil
Service Commission for refusing
to give the department more
authority to hire people for
political schedule c jobs.
Undersecretary of the Interior
Ralph A. Tudor said yesterday
that the department suffered
serious harm" when the Civil
Service Commission allowed it to
fill only 80 jobs in political
schedule C. Interior had asked
for 375 such positions.
In speech before the Society
of Military Engineers in the
Hamilton Hotel, Mr.. Tudor said
the csc was wrong when it
insists that we have so few of
our own people in policy posi-
tions. It makes it difficult to
control the philosophy of the de-
partment."
Secretary of Interior Mckay
has also been critical of the COM
missions refusal to allow the de-
partment more Schedule c JOBS
and has resubmitted some of the
departments requests to the
csc.
Mr.. Tudor also told che group
that the new regime at Interior
found the department badly dis
organized when taking over last
January. Large strides have
been made since. he said.

Air Force Steps Up
B-52, F-tOO Output
With Cutback Sayinu
sv the Asseeio.ed Press


Talbot says some of the money
saved in recent cutabckS is 60
ing into stepped-up production
of latest type jet planes-the
B-52 bomber and F-100 fighter.
When he announced the deci-
sion last night, Mr.. Talbot said
he hopes Air Force cutbacks
have been completed and the
department can concentrate on
pushing manufacture of planes
which show most promise. Ex-
tensive tests. he said. convinced
authorities that the giant Boe-
ing bomber and the fast North
American fighter would perform
satisfactorily.
Mr.. Talbot gave no numbers
of aircraft to be ordered, but
said the accelerated B-52 pro-
duction would mean an increase
of IS to 40 per cent in the
monthly totals of such aircraft
turned out.
Would Use Half Billion.
He said the whole program
would mean recommitting about
half a billion dollars of the
amount saved through recent
reductions in other Air Force
procurement plans,
The B-52. with a wing span of
185 feet, is powered by eight
Pratt and Whitney J-57 jet en-
gines and can carry the atomic
bomb. Only two of the giant
bombers have yet been flown
publicly.
Mr.. Talbot said the F-10O
fighter had exceeded the speed
Of sound in level fight during
initial tests. The exact speed of
both planes is kept secret for
military reasons.
To Build at Wichita.
Mr.. Talbot emphasized that
the additional bombers will be
turned out by Boeing's aircraft
plant at Wichita. Kans., ito
eliminate the danger of a single
source" All B-52 production so
far has been at the Boeing plant
in Seattle.
The Air Force on September 3
disclosed a reduction in its pro-
duction program by 965 aircraft
costing about $3.50 million, but
spokeSmen said the decision was
made, not as an economy matter,
but to conform to decisions as
to what the Air Force needed.
They predicted that increased
production of B-52s and F-100s
might follow. Part Of the can
celed production was of Bats,
forerunners of the B-52.
The move, however. coming
after a SIS billion cut in the Air
Force budget, met some criti-
cism. Senator Stennis, Demo-
crat, of Mississippi said it was
"a dangerous risk to our secur-
ity."
Spare Engines Reduced.
On September Is the Air Force
announced another production
cancellation with an estimated
saving of $400 to $500 million.
This was a reduction in plans to
acquire jet and other aircraft
engines. The Air Force said
they had been intended as
spares, but were found not to be
needed.
The earlier cutback in BAT
production affected especially the
Douglas Aircraft Corp. plant at
Tulsa. Okla, and the Lockheed
plant at Marietta. Ga. Mr.. Tai
bott said last night use of the
Wichita plant as a second source
for the B-52 might accelerate
BAT production in these two
cities.
He said Boeing would be given
time to tool up it's Wichita plant
for B-52 production at an esti-
mated cost Of $3.50 million.
The Air Force Secretary also
told an interviewer award of
contracts for C-123 assault
transport planes probably will be
announced this week.

They feel the public must be
educated as to the problem and
made to see that greater efficien-
cy and economy of operations
can be achieved by modifying
the law. They feel that public
opinion must be strongly in favor
of such move before there
would be any chance that Con-
gress would agree to modifica-
ton.
Also. the csc feels some agree
ment must be worked out with
the politically-powerful veterans
organizations before the objec-
tive can be achieved. CSC Of
f1cials are optimistic that some
agreement can be reached, but
they realize that this will take
time.
Therefore, don't look for the
csc to lead an intensive fight
next year to repeal veterans
preference. It may recommend
to Congress that the law be
changed, but unless some mem
bers of Congress carry the ball
for them, nothing much is going
to happen next year.
At recent meeting with some
businessmen interested in civil
service problems, President Eli.
Senhower indicated his impa-
tience with some of the veterans
preference features in civil serv-
ice. But the administration ap-
parently doesn't want to stick
its neck out until it's reasonably
sure that the veteran organiza-
tions will agree to some COM
promise.
ENGRAVING AND PRINTING
The Bureau of Engraving and
Printing, which has been under
going severe reductions in force
during the last six months, still
must eliminate another 568 jobs.
These are non-craft positions.
Agency officials said that attri-
tion-not filling vacancies-will
be resorted to as much as pos
sible to minimize the number of
direct f1ringS that will be neces-
sary. The agency said that
permanent status. non-craft en-
ployes with veterans status will
not be affected. nor does it ex-
pect that non-craft permanent
status non-veterans with 13
years or more of service will be
dismissed.
The bureaus officials said they
were releasing the figures so that
all their employees will know the
real situation. The reduction in
force is being achieved due to
modernized machinery and re-
organization, agency officials say.
