Plane to Photograph Habits
Of Nearby Virginia Drivers

The photographs will be used
to clarity the intricacieS of
traffic movement and to set up
charts explaining them, DR..
Greenshields explains: High
ways should be built in &C
cordance with what drivers
actually do, and not with what
engineers think they should do.
Someone ought to start putting
behavior patterns into high
ways"
DR.. Greenshields hopes to de-
termine what these patterns
should be. He also pointed Out
that the project "offers poten-
tial benefits to national defense
from the standpoint of in
creased efficiency. and effective
ness of highway transportation" "

The Army Signal Corps and
the Virginia State Highway and
Police Departments are assisting
DR.. GreenshieldS in the study.
The Virginia Department of
Highways. through its Culpeper
district traffic engineer, j. L.
Thomas, is placing markers
along six miles of Highway 1856
east of Fairfax to guide the pic
ture. takers and to aid in
analyzing the photographs later.
DR.. Greenshields has been
making traffic engineering studies
over a period of 20 years. An
authority on the subject, he has
been OH George Washington's
faculty since 1916.

to economy and therefore reluc-
tant to increase the cost of Gov
ernment.
Employe leaders are hopeful
that Congress next year will feel
somewhat differently on various
employe bills. They take hope in
the fact that Congress in an elec-
ton year generally is more liberal
on employe bills.
The major legislative goals
next year for Government en-
ployes will be enactment Of a
pay raise bill, unemployment
compensation benefits and lib
eralized retirement and survivor
ship insurance benefits.
Various bills on these matters
were introduced during this
years session, without any action
taken. However, legislation in
troduced this year does not die
at the end of the session and
can be acted on next year.
BENEFITS PROTECTED -
There had been some fears
among Federal employees that
the new Republican Congress
would slash away at the bene-
fits they already had. There also
were fears that their civil service
Job protection rights would be
removed.
However, these apprehensions
proved to be unfounded It's true
that some Republicans in Con-
gress sought to give department
and agency heads the right to
fire employees without regard to
civil service regulations. But
these moves did not have the
support of the Republican lead
ership in the House and Senate
and consequently were defeated.
Even the move to strip civil
service protection rights from
some employees in the excepted
Schedule A jobs was defeated in
Congress.
In addition, Congress removed
the summary firing authority
that the Commerce and State
Departments had over their en-
ployes.

RECORD-Here are the major
actions taken by Congress on
Federal employe matters:

leave py June 30, 1858. in its
stead, Congress voted to allow
employees with less than 80 days
of annual leave to accumulate
up to 80 days. Employees with 80
Or more days of annual leave
cannot exceed that amount by
the end of this year and each
succeeding year. The new bill
contained some inequitieS, among
them the provision denying the

Women and Children
Are Evacuated From
PoIygamy Colony
BY the Associoted Press

SHORT CREEK, Ariz., Aug.
1.-The polygamy colony of
Short Greek, already shattered
by a raid that sent all of its men
to jail. was evacuated of women
and children today by officers
fearful Of a plot to spirit the
multiple families away.
BY order Of a Superior Court
Judge, SO mothers and 157 chill
dren were loaded into six buses
and started on the 500-mile
journey to Phoenix.
This left Short Creek-A week
ago a teeming community of SO
men, sc women and 263 chill
dren-almoSt a ghost town.
8 Boys Allowed to Stay.
Remaining in the village were
eight teen-age boys, permitted
to stay to milk the community's
cows.
The State sent squads of off,
GERS back to Short Creek after
Sheriff Frank Porter said he
overheard men plotting to take
their families away from Short
Creek on being released on bond.
Warned by three boys who fled
from Arizona as the big raiding
force moved in last Sunday. 125
women and children on the Utah
side of this polygamous commu-
nifty left the area Thursday in a
mass effort to escape eXtradition
to Arizona.
They walked four miles in
heavy rain over the hills and
through the canyons that cut
into the Vermillion cliffs over
looking Short Greek from the
north.
Taken Back to Homes.
Police caught a truck crammed
with Al women and children and
took them back to their homes.
The rest of the fugitives appar-
emily were heading for Salt Lake
City.
The decision to move almost
everyone out of Short Creek ap-
parently was a spur-of-the-m mo-
ment piece of strategy, although
original plans had called for
transfer of a number of the chill
dren to Phoenix.
Judge Lorna Lockwood who
had been in the community since
the raiding party took over, as
sembled the women and children
in the schoolhouse this morning
and told them all of the children
were to be taken to Phoenix.
The mothers, she informed
them, were not forced to go but
were permitted to accompany
their children. Not a mother
stayed.

unused leave OF a current year.
President Eisenhower asked Con-
gress to remedy this situation
next year.
2. Amended the Veterans
Preference Act to require veter-
ans to make a passing grade on
civil service exams before they
can receive their five and 10
points preference. The measure
also requires at least a 10 per
cent compensate disability be-
fore disabled veterans can go to
the top of civil service job regis
ters. In addition. apprentice jobs
up to grade GS-9 in the scientific
and technical fields are limited
to veterans through December
81. 1854. And the Civil Service
Commission is given authority
to enforce its findings in cases
where agencies unjustly decline
to hire veterans from civil serv-
Ice lob registers.
3. Extended until June 30,
1854, the life of the Congress
sional committee studying the
civil service retirement system.
The committee will make recon-
mendationS to Congress for
changes in benefits it finds are
necessary.
Removed top Government
political appointees from provi-
sionS of the Sick and Annual
Leave Act.
S. Eliminated some Federal
jobs as result of appropriations
cuts. However. the number of
job cuts was not as great as ex-
pected, although such units as
Census Bureau. Labor Depart
ment and some of the housing
units were hard hit. Congress
also voted to liquidate the Re-
construction Finance Corp. by
next June 80 and created the new
Small Business Administration.

| As Mental Case SOUGHT
By the Assoeiated Press

LOS ANGELES. Aug. L.
Papers have been filed in court to
commit former Actress Joan
Berry, once a protege of Charlie

Miss Berry entered the psychi-
atric ward of General Hospital

GIs Helped Rebuild
After World War Il
By the Assoeinted Press

Defense officials said they
would do all possible to CO.
operate in the Eisenhower-DulleS
plan to use American troops to
repair war damage in Korea.
At the Pentagon, it was
pointed out that United States
troops and equipment had been
used extensively to help with
early rehabilitation work in
Japan and Europe after World
War II.
One official said that while
there remains any uncertainty
about continuation Of the truce
in Korea, the primary mission
of United States troops there
must be to man the line and
maintain rear area support.
Other officials emphasized that
American troops would not be
kept in Korea just to do the re-
Mobilization work. They said
the troops would have to be
there anyhow to guard against
any move by the Reds, and that
it would be better all around if
they were busy.
They did not say specifically
under what law the troops would
be put to work on such jobs.

How long will grass silage keep?
Almost indefinitely. Stores of sill !
age have been known to remain IN
good feed condition for as long as
II years.
How does silage compare with dry
hay in possible loss and waste?
In upright silos loss averages 10
per cent. In stack silos the loss may
be as high as 40 per cent. But 1t is
all relative. In dry hay, even when
crop is not rained on, loss of dry
matter is estimated at 80 per cent.
Can silage be- fed as the only rough
age?
In tests at Iowa State College,
dairy cows fed alfalfa-brome silage
as the only roughage actually pro-
duced more milk than cows fed corn
silage and dry hay. Both groups
were fed the same kind and amount
of grain mixture. Cows ate an aver
age of SO pounds of grass silage a
day.
How does feed value of grass silage
compare with that of dry hay?
Grass silage has higher protein
and carotene content and lower
crude fiber content than field cured
hay. Dry matter in silage is equal
in feeding value pound for pound
to dry matter in best quality field
cured hay.
How does the cost of making silage
compare with that of field curing?
With adequate equipment for
either method there is little differ
ence in the costs.
