; Rent Office Aides
Suspended Officially
In Leave Pay Case

William G. Barr. acting direc-
tor of the Office of Rent Stabil-
ization, today officially suspended
three top officials in a leave
pay controversy.
They are: Edwin D. Dupree,
jr., general counsel; John j.
Madigan, deputy director for ad-
ministration, and Mrs. Linda
Matteo, director of personnel.
Mr.. Barr said he has suspended
the trio for 80 days without pay.
Meanwhile. he explained, under
Civil Service laws and regula-
tionS, they have the right to-
appeal.
But Mr.. Barr pointed out that
as administrator he will not hear
the appeal himself, but will set
up a board Of review.
Barr Explains Action.
Mr.. Bars decision to suspend
the officials was made last week
after the practice Of giving pay
in lieu of annual leave was
sharply criticized in the Senate.
The Senate was told that spe-
ciflc figures were available only
on the Ofice of Rent Stabiliza-
ton, but that the annual leave
pay policy in several depart
ments was raiding the Treasury
of millions of dollars.
An official letter was sent to
the three persons involved. Mr..
Barr said he was not ruling on
the legality of their activity in
permitting employees to be paid
for vacation leave while remain
ing on their jobs. Their names
appeared on the list also.
Mr.. Barr said that he does not
plan suspension action on other
employees involved, but made it
clear that while he personally
does not propose disciplinary
action, several Government
agencies are investigating the
whole matter.
To Follow Mandatory Policy.
Tomorrow morning Mr.. Barr
is scheduled to appear at a
closed meeting of the House
Subcommittee on Independent
Offices Appropriations.
Mr.. Barr said he will follow
the mandatory leave policy that
was set up recently by his i'm
mediate predecessor, James Mel.
Henderson. Mr.. Henderson was
not in the agency in June, 1850.
when the payments complained
of were made.
The new director said that
under this leave policy all en-
ployes must take by April 80
all leave accumulated between
December 81 and April 80 plus
II days. This, he explained, is
because the agency does not have
the funds to continue personnel
in an active duty status.
Senator Williams, Republican,
of Delaware pointed out the
agency's caSh-for- leave policy on
the Senate floor Wednesday. He
made public in the Congressional
Record the names of 49 en-
ployes.
Four Names Added to List.
Mr.. Barr today disclosed the
names of four additional ern- ]
ployes, who received cash fOr1
leave in the latter part of 1850
and the early part Of 1851, bring
ing the total up to So.
These names are: William
Goldbaum, attorney, grade GS
IA. $4,000 annual salary, who
received a lump-sum payment
for accumulated leave of ST.
205.62; Earl Hoyle, administrative
officer, GS IL, $500, and lump
sum payment of 1,400.04; John
T. O'Brien, information and ed
itorial specialist. GS Is, $10,-
900. who received a lump-Sum
payment of $2.876.50, and DON
aid Martin. statistical officer,
GS IL, $1,000, who got a lump
sum payment of $2,357.65.

VIE I'll UNITED NATIONS General Assembly
eelected Madam Pandit as its president the world saw for
the first time the coming of age of women all over the world:
To many places, especially in the democracies, this act was
Just one more step in the fullest recognition Of the skill and
ability of women to accept and fulfil positions Of response

H ELECTION of a woman to the presidency Of the
worlds most famous organization was, however, another mat

The people of the world looked upon the democracies, and
especially America, as the leader among nations, and in this.
battle for ideas this was a signal victory for the democracies,
for it was America which nominated and sponsored Madam

to provide the element of tenderness and refinement to a

the men. And while these ideas have been changing due.
largely to the impact of western ideas and the swift move
ment Of life in this modern age, the elevation of a woman to
a place of prominence in a prominent and recognized world
organization is bound to have the most significant impression
on that part of the world.
MADAM PANDIT is no average woman. The sister of
Prime Minister Nehru of India, she was that countrys am
bassador to the United States. Quickly it became evident that
she knew her way about; that she not only knew India and
its problems, but could speak to the United States in terms
of those problems. She was not therefore a newcomer to the
international scene.
WHILE WE HERE have long recognized that women
have come into their own, this new trump for womanhood
might well set another example here. t should no longer,

Guntighter's Return
!, ............ by Leslie Ernenwein

Jubal loosed long-drawn yell IS
he went over, that frantic outcry
merging with a crash of tunbled
whisky glasses and the thudding
impact of his body.
Rimbaud hurdled the bar. ignor-
ing FonSo Peal, who protested,
you'll wreck my placer
Jubal was up on one elbow,
clawing for his gun, when RIM
baud slugged him. Hugh fell back
and gave Rimhaud q blank. un-
comprehending look.
Then his mouth Sagged open
and he was through.
Rimbaud grasped the back Of
Jubal's vest and dragged him
slowly along the narrow runway.
Rounding the bars end, Rimbaud
glanced at the poker table and
observed that Limpy Smith was
asleep with his head resting on
the green felt. Something about
that amused Rimbaud: he chuck
led, thinking how odd il was that
Smith should so serenely ignore
the commotion he had caused.
Remotely aware Of many faces
at the doorway, Rirnbaud dragged
Jubal out into the soiled sawdust
and dropped him face down. He
wiped blood -sIneared knuckleS On
his pants and looked at Lew
Stromberg, who stood with a Ro-
man Four man on each side OF
him, and asked. "Any objections?"
There was a rudy flush on
Stromberg's frown-creased face.
His black eyes held . metallic
shine and a queerly piercing in
tentness. It was as if he weren't
quite sure what he was seeing,
and must be sure before speaking.
ANY ohjections?" Rimbaud
asked again.
"No," Stromberg said, his voice
oddly mild and devoid Of anger.
mo objections"
Rimbaud grinned. He dropped
a double eagle on the bar and said
to Fonso Peal. "Set up drinks for
the house"
Then he walked out, and step
ping quickly through q crowd on
the stoop, angled across Main
Street toward the Alhambra Ho-
tel. II didn't occur 10 him that Eve
Odegarde might have been In that
group Of spellbound spectators, or
that she would watch until he en-
tered the hotel and then whisper,
Good luck, Fiddlefoot."
