NEW LAW LIMITS FEDERAL STAFF
WORKERS TO 3O-DAY LEAVES

AS result of several amend
ments to the leave system for gov
ernment employees made by Pub
lie Law 102, July 2, 1853, the
nearly 5000 civil service employ
ees of Erie Ordnance Depot and
federal employees everywhere,
will be affected generally as fol-
lows, according to Maj John r.
Blackwell, executive officer of
the depot:
The maximum amount of leave
that can be accumulated is 80
days.
Employees who legally carried
over 1858 leave in excess of the
maximum will not lose this leave
but will be obliged to reduce the
excess leave within a reasonable
time.
The leave rider requiring en-
ployees to use by June 80, 1858
all annual leave earned in 1852
has been repealed.
The end of the leave year. which
heretofore was the end of the last
pay period in the calendar year
has been changed II is now the
end of the pay period following
the last full paw period in the
calendar year. This is the date on
which an employee will forfeit all
leave in excess of 80 days unless
he carried over to 1853 leave in
excess of this ceiling. Change in
the end of the leave year will en-
able employees to use the Christ
mas holiday period for the pur-
pose of taking excess leave.
The new amendment limits
lump sum payments to pay for 80
lays leave or pay for the amount
of leave carried forward to 1858
whichever is higher.
If an employee transfers to q
lob under different leave sys-
tenn, he will transfer his annual
leave instead of being paid for it
rs heretofore. Exceptions to this
"ule are CD part time employees
without regular tour of duty,
y temporary construction work.

the Mrs. Hall recommended for
membership on the committee,
but she declared today she is
very much interested in the
work of the committee"
The perpleXing situation of

versity Park, came to light yes
terday when it was revealed that
County Commissioner w. Everett
Marion had intended the COM
mittee appointment for Mrs.

Meanwhile, the committee
secretary, Mrs. Willard j. Hall,

Furthermore. she said, letter
from Harry A. Boswell, jr., chair
man of the committee, notified
her in early July that she had
been selected to serve on the
committee. The letter was ad-
dressed to her at her home on
Baltimore boulevard. She re-
ceived two more letters which
advised her of the two subse-
quent meetings.
The other Mrs. Hall also was
notified in July of her appoint
ment to the committee, but her

ing more after that and assumed

ing a plane from Congressional

the Eugene Casey farm,
miles east of BeallSville, off
Route %.
The plane circled the farm
three times before it landed. &C
cording to Leland Clark, man
ager of A. G. Rolfe's Spring VAL
ley Hereford Farm.
Mr.. Clark told police he
thought the plane belonged to a
friend of his and drove out to
the field in a pickup truck to
meet him. AS he approached
the plane. slim man jumped
out and ran into a nearby woods.
Police Immediately threw sew
eral cars into the area, and
Police Pvt. j. F. Lawrence took

He spotted the suspect once, but
SWoffafd had moved by the time
police reached the spot.
Police said Swdffard admitted

Mother Says Girl, II,
Fled School Class
Because Of Pictures

A 17-year-old girl fled a biol
ogy class at Washington-Lee
High School last year because
of the pictures and conversa-
'tion" being presented, an Airing
ton mother told The Star today.
The woman, who asked that
her name not be used, said she
has offered to testify in the lat
est action brought by Attorney
John Locke Green to oust Arling-
toms School Board members.
Mr.. Green filed a malfeasance
complaint against the five board
members charging they permit
ted commingling of white and
colored children and the showing
of pictures of nude men and
women.
Two Other Girls Followed.
"My daughter left the class
room crying and two other girls
followed right after her. She
was shocked and Mortified when
she came hcme and told me-"
the woman said.
She said her daughter was
particularly upset over the car
ryingS on of the boys in the
class during the picture showing
and discussion"
The parent said her vigorous
complaint to school authorities
resulted in her daughter not be-
ing required to go back into
the classroom. The credits for
biology class were made up
Athrough specially assigned work,
she said.
THAT type of education" the
mother declared. should be left
for parents. If schools are going
to teach sex then it should GER
talnly be done in segregated
groups of boys and girls"
Film on Human Growth"
Mr.. Green said he has infor-
nation concerning a film called
Human Growth" which has
been shown in Arlington schools.
He said his information is that
the films shows growth in both
sexes with the persons depicted
completely nude.
1t was during the showing of
such a film, Mr.. Green said, that
a 14-year-old boy "whistled in
the classroom and was expelled
from the school," He said this
incident occurred about a year
ago but the boy was reinstated
when his father protested the
expulsion.
Information on feminine hy-
giene from the age of puberty
is freely discussed during the
film, described as a black and
white print, according to Mr..
Green.
Calls Attack Political
Mr.. Green's latest complaint
brought this comment from
School Board Chairman Curtis
E. Tuthill:
This political attack on
the School Board comes in face
of Mr.. Green's public pledge made
a few days ago that he would file
no new suits. His old charges
have already been discredited.
Green is contemptuous of the
electorate and of our democratic
processes that are designed to in
sure justice for all the people. ;"
T. Edward Rutter, Arlington
school superintendent, said to-
day there is a film dealing with
human growth used in health
education courses, but he said he
had not reviewed the film in
three years.
II have been assured by the
school health staff, however. that
in no instance are human beings
used in nude poses in the films.
We use four motion pictures in
health education, at least two
of which are approved by the
Virginia Department of Educa-
tion. These films are used in
nearby Maryland and all over
the country. They are only
shown under the supervision of
the school physician and school
nursing staff" Mr.. Rutter said.
