The empIoye groups are seek
ing a White House executive
order which would give Federal
employees an extra day for the
Memorial Day, May 80 and In

COFFEE-Federal employees
are wondering whether other de-
partments will follow Navy's Or
der which restricts coffee hours"
for Navy civilian workers. Navy's
order forbids the employees from
taking breaks" to drink coffee
at cafeterias or snack bars. They
may. however, have coffee at
their desks. providing one repre-
sentative of the Office secures
the coffee for the entire group.
No other department or agency
has taken such a step, although
several top officials have been
critical of the time consumed by
employees on coffee hours" The
next few weeks should reveal
whether other agencies will join
in the move.
Employe leaders are bitterly
critical of Navy's move. They
point out that most private en-
ployes take a coffee "break" in
the morning and that this is re-
garded by most firms as being
conducive to greater productivity
for the rest of the day. Also.
they declare the order is unreal
istic and unfair, since it applies
only to employees in Navy-op-
Grated buildings and not to Navy
employees who work in the Pen
tagon.
TREASURY-Secretary of the
Treasury Humphrey has submit
ted a budget request to the
House Appropriations Committee
that is $40 million below the de-
partment's this years appropria-
tions. This would necessitate
some personnel cuts. although
they wouldn't be too large and
mostly could be absorbed by not
filling vacancies. Incidentally,
the budget requests for Internal
Revenue Bureau. the Bureau of
Customs, the Bureau of Mar
cotics and the Secret Service,
have been reduced only slightly
from the Truman administra-
tion's original budget request.
Mr.. Humphrey said the activi-
ties of these units are too i'm
portant to be hampered by
budget cuts.

Some Insurers Fail
To Pay Bills at VA
Hospitals, Paper Says
BY the Assoeiotsd tress

LOUISVILLE, KY, April g.
The Louisville Times said today
some insurance companies are
getting by with a system of re-
fusing to pay bills of policy
holders treated in veterans hos
pitfalls.
What this amounts to, the
Times said. is a. multimillion
dollar annual Government sub
sidy benef1ting the insurance
companies and corporations.
The Veterans Administration
wound up 1852 with $3.7 million
uncollected bills. the paper said.
Patient Pays II He Can.
Under some conditions VA de-
mands payment for ailments not
related to war service if the
patient can afford to pay all or
part. The conditions concern
the patient who has health in
Surance.
VA attorneys have been in
Structed, for unexplained rea-
sons, not to sue. and the VA no
longer bills insurance firms that
have consistently refused to pay
for treatment of ailments not
connected with war service, the
article said.
Practice Defended.
Richard Harwood. Times re-
porter, who developed a series
Of articles on the subject. said
the insurance companies defend
the practice by arguing:
l. Every bill they can avoid
paying keeps down the premium
cost to companies and indivi-
duals who buy insurance.
2. There is no obligation to
pay since veterans hospitals are
tax-supported and patients are
charged nothing.
Despite VAS refusal to press
for collections, Administrator
Joel T. Boone. chief medical dill
rector for VA, was quoted as
holding this view:
1T is inequitable to expect
the taxpayers Of the United
States to bear the expense Of
disqualification of one who car

workers pay boost. Therefore,
the other two military services
are holding up issuance of the
pay boost for their workers until
Navy announces theirs, so that
the salary increase can be an
nounced at the same time.
Mr.. Anderson has been out of
town for the past few days and
unavailable for comment. Aides
say they can't discuss the case.
Since the pay boosts are not
retroactive. the employees are
losing money every day that the
pay boost is not signed. Some
employees are wondering if the
Navy is stalling on the raise. but
since such increases are author
lied by law whenever it is found
that wages in comparable pri-
vate industry jobs have gone up,
it is doubtful what Navy has to
gain by such a maneuver.

that it has always been the prac-

PERSONNEL CUTS-The ad-
ministration'S economy dismissal
program is already reflected in
the Civil Service Commission's S
employment figures. At the end
of February, Government en-
ployment dropped by $500. In
Washington, Federal employ
ment decreased by more than
5000, for a new total of '242 800.
This is the lowest in two years.
The real impact of the econ
omy dismiSsals. however, won't
be shown until the csc issues

figures. And even these reduc-
tions are only the forerunners of
others that will take place in
the months ahead.

filling vacancies. But some di-
rect diSmiSSals will be necessary.

Dismal Slump Worries MusioI,
But He's Making No Excuses
By the AsSoeioted Press

BROOKLYN, June Even
the greatest athletes worry
when they're not doing what is
expected of them, and Stan
Musial is no exception.
The great star of the Cardi-
mails, in the throes of one of the
worst batting slumps of his
amazing career, is far from
frantic over his PAT mark. But
he admits he is worried.
Suppose you were in business
and it fell off so per cent" he
asked. Wouldn't you worry?
Well, baseball is my business and
I would say my work has fallen
off so per cent this year."
His frank appraisal of him
self is typical of Musial. He gave
no alibis. He doesn't blame his
batting slump On injuries. His
health is fine. The poor weather
hasn't affected him. His other
business (the restaurant) is
doing a whopping business.
Not Hitting in Hard Luck.
Il just haven't been hitting the
way I should" he said simply.
MY timing is off. It has been
off practically from the start of
the season. Don't ask me why.
I just don't know. All I know
is that the pitchers are making
a sucker out of me. And I'm
not hitting in hard luck either.
I'm just not getting good wood
on the ball.
I'm certain I'll snap out of
it soon. but right now. I Just
can't seem to do anything right.
I know I've been pressing be-:
cause I've been taking too many
good pitches and swinging at
too many bad ones. But that's
the way it goes when you're in
a slump"
MuSial, as fine a gentleman
as there is in the game, hasn't
given up hope of winning his
seventh batting title and his fifth
in a row. Oddly enough, play
ers around the league still re-
gard him as the man to beat
for the championship. The con-
fldence and respect rival players
hold for him is a tribute re-
served only for a select few.
THAT Musial is a thorough
bred" Manager Eddie Stanky
commented. "He fels worse about
his slump than anybody else, but
I've never heard him grippe or
utter one word of complaint.
He's been an inspiration to the
rest of u.s." &T
Started Worse in ~.
"I'm not discouraged" Musial
explained after yesterdays game
against Brooklyn. Whenever
begin to feel real low, I recall
