Federal Communications
Commissioner Rosel H. Hyde
said today he is frankly per-
picked by the furor over a new
code of conduct outlined for FEC
employees.
In a memorandum circulated
within recent weeks, the FEC
workers have been cautioned to
avoid loud or disorderly party
ing, drunkenness, braWling or
other conduct which might bring
"unfavorable publicity" reflect
ing on the agency.
Spokesman said the directive
was in line with the adminiStra-
ton program for investigation of
Federal employees conduct.
When the existence of such a
program was disclosed last week
in The Star, the administration
quickly declared its purpose was
not to pry into the private lives
of Federal workers but to prevent
loose practices" in the Govern
ment.
Mr.. Hyde, who has just COM
pleted a term as chairman of the
FEC, said today the agency was
not attempting to establ lish a
shopping system but to outline
policy for guidance of en-
ployeS.
Frankly" he said. Il can't
see why this subject is so intrigu-

be read with judgment and, of
course, applied with judgment" "

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Your
next operation can be made
easier-and you might not talk
about 1t so much afterward-if
your doctors tell you all about it
beforehand.
That is the message presented
today at the first annual meet
ing of a new medical organiza-
ton. the Academy of Psychoso-
matte Medicine.
Psychosomatic means pains or
ailments caused by emotions or
feelings or fears, rather than
actual physical faults or dis
orders.
The new academy's two-day
session Is devoted to psychoso-
matte aspects of surgery.
II you need an operation, the
doctors give you a guide map
and timetable of all that will
happen to you, said DR.. William
kaufman of Bridgeport, Conn.,,
academy president.
Might Ease Pain.
He said the foreknowledge will
help you over the rough or un-
expected spots and probably even
make it less painful.
1.-The less discomfort you ex-
pect to have the less you probably
will have" he said.
Much of the difficulty, Mr..
Kaufman said, can come from
the fact that doctors or nurses
do things to you which you don't
expect or which you find dis
tasteful or frightening.
Knowing in advance that those
things are commonplace and
ordinary can help you accept
them and help relieve the fears
and anxieties which normally
come with having to face surgery
Many persons feel their chronic
i'll health dates to some opera
tion, he added.
They probably are actually
suffering from emotional upsets
or emotional crippling from some
operation for which they were
not fully prepared.

conduct within the agency but
in order to insure that the repu-
tation of FEC employees, the
commission itself, and the Fed
eral service will not be damaged
by any possible misconduct or
ill-considered acts by individuals
in the future.
Commenting on published re-
ports that Miss Freida Hennock,
another commissioner, was criti-
cal of the directive, Mr.. Hyde
said Miss Hennock was present
and voted with all others present
in favor of it's adoption. The
meeting was held September IT.
The FEC program provides for
a special review board within
the agency to investigate indi-
Gated misconduct.
If the chairman decides that
formal disciplinary action is in
dicated, he will recommend to
the commission either a written
reprimand, suspension from duty
or outright removal.
The employees were assured
that Investigations resulting in
no action will not be reflected In
their official personnel files and
that such file entries will only be
made after majority of the
commission has voted for formal
disciplinary action.
The definition given for 'im-
proper conduct" includes outside
employment conflicting with the
interests of the Government, the
offering of ARTICLES for publica-
ton containing material not gen.
orally available to the public, ac-

ceptance of gratuities of any
kind, financial interest in any
enterprise regulated by the Com
munications Act, disclosure of
confidential information and
"scandalous conduct
The "scandalous conduct" rule
was spelled out:
Employees may not engage in
social or other activities which
might result in unfavorable per-
sonal notoriety or scandals
which would reflect unfavorably
upon the commission or the
Federal service because Of his
FEC employment. Activities
which might result in this type
of unfavorable publicity include
brawling, being drunk or using
abusive language in public; at
tending loud or disorderly
parties; or engaging publicly
in any conduct which, although
not necessarily illegal, is not
condoned by society"
