the organizational meeting and
that the matter will be decided
when the occasion arises"
MY feeling is" Senator Nc

should do nothing to embarrass
or make it difficult for witnesses.
At the same time I think we
should try and utilize all means
possible to bring facts to the
public"
He announced that Senator

publicans assigned to this sub

lations involving the majority of
Government positions. this age
limit is dropped.
However, in So per cent of
classified jobs and in 81 per
cent of CPC CARTS, Protective
and CustodiaD, the 62-year age
limit will apply for Federal job
applicants. These are positions
where the commission found that
persons over 81 would not make
the best candidates.
Commission Listing Jobs.
The commission did not have
any figure about how many per
diem jobs will be removed from
the age limit. but officials said it
will be a majority of them. The
csc is now compiling a COM
plete list of all Federal jobs in
which the age limit is being
waived. and this will be ready
in about a week.
In hiring persons over 70, the
commission said agencies may
employ such persons only on a
year-to-year basis, the employ
ment to be continued at the
option of the agency.
The new regulations are a re-
suit of a rider approved by Con-
greSs last year. which prohibited
age maximums, except in those
cases where the CSC finds they
are necessary.
No Effect on Job Rights.
The new regulations involve
only the hiring of employees and
have no effect on the job tenure
rights Of present Federal workers.
In announcing the new regu-
lationS. the csc told Federal
hiring officers that older persons
are capable of high-level pro-
ductive work and elderly people
are making outstanding contri-
buttons in private industry, in
the professions and sciences, and

stands below all States in the

The Districts per capita total

Grant Would Be Extra.
The $40 million grant he rec
ommends for District institu-
tions. Senator Hunt said, should
be in addition to any Federal
payment appropriated toward
support of the D. c. government.
Senator Hunt said he planned
to. support strongly a larger
Federal payment for the Dis
trict than the $12 million rec
commended by the President for
the fiscal year beginning July /.
Senator Hunt said he was
moved to volunteer this new
campaign on behalf of the Dis
trict by two things. his discovery
of the Districts low per capita
Federal aid, and a riot Monday
night at National Training
School for Girls in the District
where three policemen were
injured.
The Senator led the fight last
year which succeeded in appro-
priating $4,000 toward a new
Industrial Home School for Col.
ored Girls at the Districts Chill
dren's Center at Laurel, Md.
Halls Laurel Project.
Recently he had greeted
warmly the recommendation in
the District budget now before
Congress which earmarked 81
million for going ahead with the
Laurel project. At that time he
said that even if SIS million were
spent on the Children's Center
it still would not meet all needs.
Today's recommendation raised
the Senator's previous estimate
by SIS million. He declared his
intention to make a personal
fight toward that goal.
Virginia received 1854 per
capita Federal grants in 1851,
according to the Council of State
Governments. for a total of $751;
663.619, Senator Hunt pointed
out.
Maryland showed a per capita
figure of $3.50 for a total of
$40, ,149,811.
The Districts per capita of
$6.93 brought in to the city Fed
eral aid totaling $5,561,218.
