PAY DIFFERENTIAL.-Some
confusion over one of the items
in the Senate-approved fringe
benefits bill has been cleared up
by the measures sponsors.
The initial impression was
that the up-to-15 per cent pay
differential provision for FBI
agents and other Government
investigative employees who work
long hours of overtime would
apply only to those making less
than $3.50. However, other en-
ployes would get a pay differen-
tial also. the difference being
that it will apply only to the
first $3.50 of their salaries,

ASKED-Chairman Rees- of the
House Civil Service Committee
has asked the Civil Service Com
mission to draft standby re-
cruiting regulations that could
be put into effect Immediately
in the event of a national
emergency.
Mr.. Rees said the failure of
the commission to have an emer-
gency employment program at
the time Of the Korean war out
break resulted in such harsh
measures as the Written rider.
Mr.. Rees sharply criticized the
Written rider, but he said Con-
gress never would have enacted
it If the executive branch had
had program ready to meet the
situation.
Only by a well-planned pro-
gram to avoid "hasty and heavy
over-recruiting, appointment of
/ poorly qualified people and
granting of job rights to people
who only should be hired on a
limited or temporary basis" can
a future Written rider be avoid
ed, Mr.. Rees said.
The Kansas Republican favors
repeal of the Written rider. as
has been provided for in the

bill. But he feels that Congress

Smathers Sees Peril
10 Florida if British
Test Germ-Bombs

Senator Smathers made 1t
clear yesterday that he doesn't
want any British germs dropping
on Florida.
The States Junior Democratic
Senator released the text Of q
letter to Secretary of State Dulles
protesting reported British plans
to test archaeological bombs in
the Bahamas this summer. In
stead, he suggested. the tests If
held should take place at the
H-bomb proving grounds in the
Pacific.
Senator SmatherS wrote the
Secretary that general alarm Is
being felt throughout the Carib-
bean area, particularly in Florida
which lies little more than 100
miles from Nassau. principal is
land in the Bahamas.
Offers Queries for Britain.
He suggested Mr.. Dulles pro-
pound the following questions to
the British government:
Il. If it is true such tests are
planned in the Bahamas, what
it is hoped to prove by explod-
ing germ bombs?
80. What assurances can be
given that the prevailing south
easterly winds which blow from
the Bahamas to cool Miami and
the rest of South Florida coast
will not watt released germs to
these United States areas?"
The Senator said he wasn't an
alarmlst or trouble-hunter.
But he felt the questions should
be answered and the germs sent
elsewhere.
Charles Campbell, director of
the British Information source
here. said last night the Minister
Of Supply announced in February
In the House of Commons that
experiments in defensive meas
ures against archaeological at
tack had been conducted off the
coast Of Scotland.
Protests Against Hospital.
At that time, Mr.. Campbell
said. the official also announced
that similar defensive tests would
be held "at some time in 1854"
] off the Bahamas, at a safe dis
lance from land and from regu-
slarly travelled sea-lanes.
. Mr.. Campbell said Senator
Smathers' letter was somewhat
similar to what happens when
it's announced a hospital will be
built in a residential area. A lot
of people get all excited un-

Support, Subsidy
Vetoed for Eggs

OPPOSITION TO price support,
surplus removal, or subsidy pro-
grams for eggs was voiced by the
Egg Industry Advisory Committee
which met with U. S. Department
of Agriculture officials on April "a,
1854.
The committee made the follow
ing statement:
''This committee believes in self
help, leaving to the industry the
solution of its own problems.
cit recognizes % that the egg in
dustry has the advantage of rela-
lively short cycles of production
correction; (2) that the primary
reason for the 1854 production in
creases and 1854 price declines are
and were due to the fact that prices
received by producers for eggs dur
ing 1858 were extremely profitable;
60 that price is the greatest single
factor regulating supply and de-
mand.
'The committee therefore reaf-
firms its 1858 recommendations.
81. The Government should not
conduct an egg price support, egg
surplus removal, or an egg subsidy
program.
''2. That the USDA can serve the
industry best by Immediately inten-
styling the dissemination of all the
facts relating to poultry population
and requirements.
So. That the USDA should con-
tinue to lead its aggressive assist
ance toward the Improvement of eff
ficiencies relating to all phases of
the industry, especially to distribu-
ton.
''The committee wishes to call
particular attention to the fact that
replacement chicks on farms at the
end of the first quarter of 1885,
totaled 40 million more than yeal
ago, a gain of 10 per cent for the
period. This gain in itself is equiv
alent to per cent of the total mum
Der of replacement chicks raised
during the entire year of 1883"
