Example: Rescuing a young
sailor from being reported
AWOL by flying him back to
Cumberland where he had left
his shipping orders in a motel
during his family's overnight
stop. The seaman, who was
driving, reached Rockville be-
fore he discovered his orders
were missing. To drive back to
Cumberland and then on to
Washington would have made
him subject to report. But, be-
ing opposite the airport, he
made an appeal to a pilot who
happened to be on the field. No
charge for this or any of the
other examples cited.
2. The Squadron performs q
real function as a part of civil
defense and as an auxiliary to
Tic All OICG.
Example: On Sept. 19-as it
has many times in the past
the squadron will take part in
a simulated search for a lost
aircraft under the direction of
Air Force authorities at West
over field, Mass. The Air Force
will plant a part of a plane or
parachute at an undisclOsed
site visible from the air and
then turn the Congressional
squadron loose for the hunt
with only such meager infOr-
nation as 'last radio contact
with the lost plane was at Bal
timOre it was headed to-
ward Washington" Then, care.
fully dividing the terrain by
map squares, the Squadron will
sweep back and forth until it
finds the wreck" In event of
actual accident in peace or war
the value of this function with.
out tying up Air Force person
mel and planes is obvious.
Example: The CAP cadet
training program for young
men between Is and 18 has
been recognized to the extent
that a cadet graduate, on enter
ing the Air Force, starts out
with the elevated status of a
PFC. While the pre-training
in navigation, radio, weather
observation, engine mechanics
and the theory of flight certain.
ly helps the cadets to get off
to good start in aviation, the
main value of the program
probably lies in the interest it
awakens in the Air Force as a
career for qualified young men.
Example: The SquadrOn's
value as a means of keeping
reserve officers "air.wOrthy"
has also been recognized by the
Air Force. And even though the
plotting of supersonic aircraft
is becoming more and more an
exclusive preserve of youth,
there is every reason To believe
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1954-09-09

that many of the squadrOn's
personnel could perform valu-
able work on active Air Force
duty in event of war.
3. A non-commercial field in
the central part of the County
has a role to play in the oft-re
peated solution of many business
leaders to the ever-increasing de
mand for public services and the
corresponding tax load on indivi
duaiS.
Richard D. Stimson of Chevy
Chase and Wentworth Brace of
Bethesda, Squadron commander
and executive officer, put the ar
gument this way:
ut has been shown that light
industry in the County more
than pays it's way in taxes.
And more and more modern
businesses are maintaining
small company planes to send
their executives on business
trips without loss of time, BY
using a County airport, a
business man can be in Phila-
delphia, for example, and back
i'm SIS minutes. If the same man
has to go to National Airport
from Rockville, it will take him
at least three hours to make
the same swing"
This point was brought out
when a Bethesda businessman
Ialxed in while the Sentinel re-
porter was interviewing Mr..
Brace with just this problem.
He wound up by making ar
engagements to rent one of the
planes at Congressional for the
Philadelphia trip.
These are the arguments ad
vanced by the County's airmel
in a plea for good relations will
other County residents. They arr
valid and thought-provoking. Be
cause they are real estate men
engineers, policemen, government
workers, students and business
men, the members of the Squad
ron understand why they are be
ing forced from Congressional by
the new development. They dom
oppose progress - they consider
themselves part of it-and sim
ply seek a new home in the les!
populous part of the County.
Noise from an airfield such a,
Congressional? Yes, the birdmer
admit. there will be some, par
ticularly on weekends. But, they
contend, the noise of one of the
motors on their small planes vii
be less than that made by the
average highway truck.
"And, of course" Richard D
Murphy, Bethesda senior pilot
said with a cheerful grin, 1--WE
must say that first, last, and al
ways we like to fly. Our memb
ers are average in income and i
costs the typical plane owner
about $50 a week to gas, oil ant
maintain his ship. And because
we like to fly, we're more thar
willing to do what we can in res
cue and defense work"
Whether they will be able Il
fly and play their part in County
humane and business activity a.
well as civil defense seemed VI
to other County residents thi.
week.
Anyone who doesn't minC
noise Tess than that of a truck
with a good level pasture to leas,

who are still holding their origin
al appointments on an indefinite
basis.
The rules to come will provide
that those who have been APP
pointed competively and who
have had three years satisfactory
service will be eligible to move up
into permanent ranks; those who
were appointed comparatively but
who do not yet have three years
will become career conditionals"
and then permanent employees
after completion of the three
years; those newly appointed
from competitive lists will get
the same career conditional ap-
pointment and serve three years
as conditional employees before
becoming permanent.
In addition, provisions will be
made for those who have already
entered the service on non-com-
petitive basis (they were appoint
ed by agencies without regard
to any civil service competitive
ratings) to take tests and get a
crack at permanent status.
Meanwhile, developing further
the immediate plans, effective
Saturday, for the several hundred
thousand career employees who
now occupy higher jobs or diff
ferent jobs on an indefinite bas-
is, the civil service commission
explained that the overwhelming
majority of them will benefit
under the order.
Only important exceptions to
the automatic conversion into
permanent status will be those
whose promotions or reassign-
mentS have been made on a tenn
porary or indefinite basis because
they have been moved into posi-
tons vacated by employees called
into military service, or by en-
ployes who have moved into
some important defense job, but
who retain "reassignment" rights
back to their original position.
In other words, the employe
who is occupying a job to which
he has been moved on an indefi-
mite basis can not be converted to
full fledged permanency in the
job. All others can-probably 80
to 80 per cent of those holding
positions on such a basis.
In the cases where the en-
ploye can not be converted, how
ever, the commission is asking
federal agencies to give them job
retention rights in those posi-
tons second only to full-fledged
permanent rights.
This means they probably will
be secure in their positions unless
and until the original incumbents
come back (many will elect not
to-. And, even where the original
incumbents return, the people
now holding the jobs can still
drop down to a slightly lower po-
sition and get permanent status
there in most instances.
Heads of agencies and depart
ments may use the new regula-
tons to apply to their jobs which
are outside the competitive serv-
fee, in the so-called excepted"
service also, the commission add
ed.
All in all, the Saturday dead
line will result in the biggest
period of change and transition
in the personnel field in nearly a
decade, and generally the en-
ployes involved will emerge with
greatly strengthened job tenure
rights, officials say.

RETIREMENT: Record numb
ers of civil service retirements, a
large number of them affecting
employees in the county, are ex-
pected in the next few months,
federal officials report.
Government workers may now
receive a $1,000 federal income
tax exemption on their civil serv.
ice pensions upon retirement
regardless of their age. (They
may retire at 40 on disability and
still get it,.
Also, retiring federal workers,
regardless of age, will get free
life insurance, assuming, of
course, they have come under
the newly-established low-cost
government workers insurance
plan before their retirement). The
full coverage continues until they
are 65, and the policy costs them
nothing. After 65, the coverage
diminishes slowly, but never be-
low Is per cent of the total bene.

EXPANSION: Reports from
the Air Force indicate civilian ex
pansion. About 5000 have been
put on this year so far; probably
10000 to $4,000 others will be add.
ed within a year as AT grows
