Hoag has reached conclusions:
ID Jupiter and Saturn are
the planets people most enjoy
seeing through a telescope;
and l2) Mars, the most pubn-

The Observatory's chief at

Emily Post
Advises

The following letter is from a
bride-to-be: my flance and
are going to be married at an
evening wedding. I know that
normally an evening wedding
calls for evening clothes but our
wedding is going to be rather
simple and I would prefer that
the guests, did not dress for
mally. Could such a notation
be properly added to the invita-
ton and, if so, what should the
wording be?"
It would be perfectly proper
to write at the bottom Of the
invitations day dress"
Only For the Bereoved
Dear Mrs. Post: I have not
lived in this country very long
and just recently noticed that
on the occasion of q bereave-
ment, several Of the notes of
coincidence were written on
black bordered note paper. Where
I come from such paper is used
only by the bereaved family for
acknowledgements. Will you
pleaSe sci, me straight, IN this
as I want to be sure to conform
to customs here.
Answer: I have never heard
of black-bordered paper being
used except by those personally
bereaved. Letters of coincidence
may be written on any kind Of
paper. 1t seems to me that the
notes you refer to must have
been written by people who are
themselves in mourning.

beers are critiCizing Civil Service
Commission Chairman Philip
Young for his "stubborness" in
insisting on repeal of the Whit
ten rider or nothing at all. Com
mittee members say they want
to modify the rider as much as
possible to enable the csc to
proceed with its conversion pro-
gram to give permanent status
to many thousands of indefinite
employees. But. they declare, Mr..
Young has shown no inclination
to help them in this regard.
Mr.. Young's views is that,
no matter how much the Whit
ten rider is modified, its reten-
ton in any form would make
extremely difficult the CSC'S
proposed conversion program.

BY The Associo,ed Press

The Army next year will start
sending men overseas in units,
rather than as individuals sepa-
rated from the buddies with
whom they trained.
AS a general rule in World
War II and the Korean conflict,
men headed overseas were as
signed to replacement depots and
sent from there to new outfits
overseas on an individual basis.
This meant working with strange
companions.
Now, it announced yesterday,
it will start assigning men over
seas by platoons of 80.

. But above all, the President
said, he is concerned about what

that Sunday morning was a big

changes in veterans preference
rights in Government reduc-
tion-in-force programs.
Task force members are re-
ported convinced that veterans
preference should be sub
stantially modified in retention
rights, so that non-Veteran
career employees would get a
better break in Government
observation-disclosures programs.
Task force members have said
veterans preference, in its
present form, is one of the
greatest drawbacks to a true
merit system and efficient Gov
eminent operation.
Also receiving attention of the
group is the question of where
to draw the line between career
and political jobs. The members
feel the solution might be a
parallel career and political syS-
tenn, whereby those in both
groups could work closely to-
gether, with the jobs of career
lists safeguarded in any change
of administrations.
The task force will not COM
plete it's report and recommen-
dations before late fall. Then
it will be submitted to the full
Hoover Commission, which will
submit it's entire report and rec
concentrations to Congress early
next year.
PAY-A sample poll taken by
Representative Mccormack of
Massachusetts,, the House Demo-
cratic whip. shows that more
than 80 per cent of the Demo-
Gratis will support the Z per cent
postal pay raise. This has made
postal employee leaders confident
that, if the House Rules Com
mittee does not give them a rule,
they will easily be able to OBJ
tain the 218 signatures needed
to discharge the measure from
committee.
The postal employe leaders
figure that nearly 200 of the 209
House Democrats would sign the
petition and that they can easily
get the remaining signatures
needed from Republican men,
bers. They point out that five
of the seven top Republican
members on the House Civil
Service Committee backed the
7 per cent pay raise and that,
consequently, considerable Re
publican support can be ex-
pected in the House as well,
Meanwhile, the classified pay
raise bill remains in the House
Civil Service Committee, which
apparently has decided to await
the outcome of the postal pay
fight before acting on classified
pay. Committee members. how
ever, still pledged that they will
take action on classified pay
once the postal pay matter is
