At issue this time is the pro-
posed construction of a medical
clinic building. planned to house
the Yater Clinic at the southwest
corner Of Wisconsin and Dorset
avenues.
That is the entrance to the
half-century old town of Somer-
set and across the street from

Mr.. Chamberlin, just last
month. lost a bid for commercial
rezoning Of the tract.
I'VE don't like this constant
harassment." said Mrs. Joseph
O'Brien, a member of the Somer-
set council.
The clinic building would be
a modern 105-by-52-fo stone
and brick structure, with a
driveway in front. An Oscar
parking lot would be put in the
rear of the. building.
The building would be on a
44.111-square-foot piece of land.
A 5l2-foot brick wall would
border the tract along Dorset
avenue and to the rear of the
building.
Mrs. O'Brien pointed out that
ground already has been broken
for a new medical clinic at
Military road and Western ave-
nue. NV. just off Wisconsin
avenue. This out-patient clinic
with Is doctors pooling their
talents is expected to cost about

Mr.. Chamberlin developed the

the older community of Somerset
He also developed the adjoining
Kenwood Golf and Country Club.
Il am not going to do any,
thing to depreciate the value of
surrounding properties" Mr..
Chamberlin said.
DR.. Wallace M. Yater, head of
the clinic bearing his name, feels
his operation would be "protec-
ton for the community" against
unwanted commercial intrusion.
He comedies, however, he can
understand the residents fears.
He is one of the opponents of

But the two are different, he
asserts.

The National Broadcasting
Co. said today that Vice Presi-

quest for equal free time to
answer Saturday nights address,
by Adlai Stevenson had been re-
jected by the network.
Sylvester L. Weaver, jr., NBC

publican National Committee
was given free time Saturday to
reply to the Democratic leader
and that the committee, after
first saying it wanted Mr.. Nixon
to speak, designated Attorney
General Browneh, Secretary OF
Health Hobby and Miss Bertha
Adkins, a committee official, to
use the time.
"Thus, the National Broad
casting Co. entirely fulfilled the
commitments it had previously
made to both political parties, !"
Mr.. Weaver said.
Mr.. Nixon telegraphed to 10
major news outlets yesterday a
statement which he called a
condensation Of the speech he
had planned to make over NBC.

The danger most emphasized is

leave he might take. Has this
been changed?
A. Yes. Under the new law, he
may be paid the differential for
periods of less than eight hours
of leave in any one pay period.
For any pay period in which the
employe takes eight hours Of
leave or more. he loses the diff
ferential on the entire amount
of leave.
@. What changes have been
made in the provision that night
differential must be paid for
work between 6 pm. and 6 a.m.2
Some Exceptions.
A. Those are still the hours
between which night differential
must be paid under ordinary cir
cumstances. The only change
made was to allow agency heads
discretion in cases outside the
continental United States where
Office hours need to be changed
to conform with local customs.
For instance, in some tropical
countries the business day begins
later than in the United States
and does not end until after s
pm. In such cases. the agency
could set a tour of duty ending
after 6 pm. and not pay night
differential for the time after
6 pm.
@. What is the policy state
ment passed by Congress on the
subject of tours Of duty7
A. The statement spells out
ground rules for agencies. requir-
ing them in most cases to sched-
ule tours of duty similar to those
found in private industry. Ex-
cept where it would seriously
handicap agency functions or
substantially increase costs. an
agency must schedule tours Of
duty in advance on not more
than five out of seven days. with
two consecutive days of. The five
days are to be Monday through
Friday wherever possible. Other
provisions are that work hours
should not exceed eight hours
and that split shifts should not
be scheduled.
@. What is the effect Of this
policy statement?
A. It assures Federal employees
that they will not be assigned
to undesirable tours of duty UNI
less it is absolutely necessary. At
the same time. it permits Gov
eminent agencies to continue to
schedule any unusual tours Of
duty found essential to Govern.

|Young's Statement
Fails 10 AIIay Fears
or Patronage Order

Federal employee leaders and
merit officials today called for
modification Of the White
Houses controversial Govern
ment political patronage pro-
gram to exclude civil service
jobs.
The union officials said Civil
Service Commission Chairman
Philip Young's announcement
yesterday that the csc would
crack down on any agency viola
lions Of the civil service laws
was too vague and informative.
Thomas G. Walters, operations
director Of the AFL Government
Employees Council, declared:
what we want to know Is what's
going to be done about the Illegal
White House order which re-
quires the agencies to freeze
civil service job vacancies for 80
days so that Republican ap-
plicants can get first crack at
them And what about the White
House order making agencies
list civil service job vacancies
with the Republican National
Committee?"
Mr.. Young said in q special
statement yesterday:
There has been no change
in the position Of the President
or the administration in the full
support Of the competitive civil
service. The csc will deal
with any specific situations
which may arise as q result OF
it's regular inspection program or
be brought to its attention from
other sources, In accordance
with its responsibilities under
the provisions of the Civil Serv-
ice Act, the Veterans Preference
Act. other applicable statutes or
its. own rules or regulations"
But Mr.. Walters commented:
ACTIONS speak louder than
words. Pious statements about
the sanctity of civil service can
not erase the current White
House political patronage order.
We want action. not talk"
James Watson, executive di-
rector Of the National Civil Serv-
ice League, declared the non
partisan organization wants the
White House order changed to
eliminate any reference to civil
service Jobs.

By Crosby S. Moves
Foreiqn correspondens of The Ssur

PARIS, Nov. 1.-THE prospect
of a Democratic victory in to-
days elections is cheerfully &C
copied here.
To judge from the remarkable
complete coverage of the Con-
gressional contest, the general
feeling throughout Western
Europe toward the major Amer
lean parties has changed little
in the last two years. AS in 1852,
the Democrats are favored as
the more liberal and interna-
tional party. The G. o. P, de-
spite the high regard for Presi-
dent Eisenhower, has not entirely
shaken off the suspicion of isola-
tionism with which many Eu-
ropeans have long regarded it.
Despite this mild preference,
however, the general theme of
all European comment is that
no great issues are at stake
whichever way the contest goes.
Indeed the thing about the cleo
tions which apparently most i'm
presses European correspondents
is the apparent lack of public
interest in the United States.
One leading French paper
notes that if it weren't for the
Constitution, Americans might
better have passed up the vote
this year since there is nothing
in the political life of the coun-
try OF a nature to arouse public
opinion" Somewhat haughtily,
The London Times speaks of
"tangle of ill-deflned issues that
still seem more likely to be de-
termined by apathy than any
passionate conviction" Euro
pean commentators who at all
times survey the American po-
litical scene with raised eye
brows have been quick to de-
plore Gen. Eisenhower's per-
sonal last-minute intervention
in the contest. "a Democratic
victory" says the Times, might
now have the personal aspect
which was never at issue in his
lofty detachment from the party
fight"
Although 1t is generally agreed
that domestic issues rather than

5000 also receive $685. an hour.
Previously overtime rates began
to decline at $2,980 a year.
@. Is there a maximum limit
on overtime or other additional
pay?
A. Yes. In no 2-week pay pc
Rod can an employees compen-
sation exceed the 2-week rate
for $ll,800 a year. which is
$453.85. This refers to basic pay
plus overtime, night. or holiday
pay. It also means. of course,
that employees receiving $1,000
a year or more are not entitled
to overtime, night, or holiday
pay. The previous ceiling was
$10,33O a year.
@. Must an employee be paid
for overtime or can he choose
to receive compensatory time off
instead?
Compensatory Time Allowed.
A. Employees paid $3.50 (the
maximum of grade GS-9 or
below must be paid overtime un-
less they specifically request
compensatory time off instead.
For employees paid more than
$3.50 a year, the agency may
decide whether to pay for over
time or authorize compensatory
time off.
@. What is the new rule about
call-back overtime?
A. If an employe is called back
to work overtime after complet-
ing his tour of duty, he must be
paid overtime for at least two
hours of work. This includes
overtime work after hours and on
his days off. If the call-back
occurs on a holiday, the two
hour minimum also applies.
@. Is it possible for an employe
to be paid overtime while in a
travel status?
A. Yes, there is now statutory
authority for this payment under
the same circumstances as previ-
ously authorized by the Comp
troller General. Specifically, an
employe is entitled to overtime
pay for the time he travels dur
ing regularly scheduled overtime
periods in just the way that he
is entitled to regular pay for the
time he travels during normal
working hours. An employee who
travels under arduous conditions
to and from an emergency stu
alton calling for unscheduled
overtime, such as a Forest Serv-
ice employe going by airplane,
on horseback. or on foot to a
forest fire, is entitled to over
time pay for his travel time. An
employe who performs actual
work while travelling outside of
regular working hours is also en-
titled to overtime.

additional compensation on an
annual basis to certain employees
who are now paid hourly rates
for overtime. night and holiday
work?
A. One group consists Of EN-
ployes. such as fireflghters, who
are required to stay at their
duty stations for unusually long
periods. substantial part of the
time in a standby status. The
other group consists Of employees,
such as investigators of criminal
activities, whose hours Of duty
cannot be controlled administra-
lively, and who are required to
perform substantial amounts of
irregular. unscheduled overtime,
night and holiday duty. Another
characteristic of this second
group is that the employees are
generally responsible for recog.
nizing, in the absence of a super
visor. circumstances which re-
quire them to remain on duty.
@. How much additional COM
pensation can they receive?
A. Employees with long tours
OF standby duty may be given
additional pay up to Is per cent
OF that part of their base pay
rates not exceeding 5000. When
this is done, the employees will
no longer receive overtime, night
and holiday pay. Empolyes in
the second group may be given
additional pay up to Is per cent
OF that part of their base pay
rates not exceeding $4,000 in
stead OF pay for irregular I'M
scheduled overtime work and
for night and holiday duty. If
these employees work a regularly
scheduled workweek of more
than 40 hours-for example, a
48-hour workweek - they con-
tinue to receive overtime pay for
time in excess Of 40 hours.
@. Has any group yet been
paid additional annual compen-
Sation under this authority?
Authority Spelled Out.
A. This information will have
to come from the employing
agency concerned. No agency is
required to use this authority. If
an agency decides not to use it,
employees will continue to be paid
for overtime. night and holiday
duty on an hourly basis. The
Civil Service Commission has is
sued regulations spelling out the
circumstances under which this
authority can be used, and in
dividual agencies will be respon-
sible for applying the regulations,
if they wish to do so, when
groups of their employees fit the
circumstances described.
@. Up to now, an employee
working at night and being paid
a night differential could not be
paid the differential for any
