@. To whom can a wage-board
employe appeal if he thinks his
position has been placed in the
wrong grade?
A. He may appeal to his own
agency. There are still appeals
to the Civil Service Commission
with respect to his position under
two sets of circumstances: % if
the employe believes that his
position does not belong under
the wage-board system or (2) if
he is a veteran and has been re-
duced in rank or compensation.
@. Is there anything to take
the place within-grade in
creases of the Classification Act?
A. In most cases, yes. AL
though they are not required by
law to do so. most agencies are
following a wage-board plan de-
veloped by the agencies under
the leadership of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission. Under the plan.
each wage-board grade has three
steps; the second step is S per
cent above the first, and the
third step is S per cent above
the second. An employe with
satisfactory service is advanced
to the second step after six
months, and to the third step
18 months later.
Unchanged by Transfer
@. What are the procedures
and rights that are unchanged
by the transfer to a wage-board
pay system?
A. An employe transferred to
the wage-board pay system has
exactly the same rights that he
had before the transfer with re-
spect to annual and sick leave,
retirement, transfer, perform
ance ratings, group life insur-
ance, unemployment compensa-
ton. and veteran preference, in
cluding veterans appeal en-
ployes rights.
@. Does a wage-board have
the same removal protection
that he had as a CPC employe?
A. Yes. He is also in the same
group for reduction in force pur-
poses.
@. Are wage-board employees
paid for holidays?
A. Yes. They receive the same
holidays as employees under the
Classification Act and they are
paid for this time.
@. How is overtime computed?
A. Wage-board employees re-
ceive overtime at the rate of
straight time and a half for all
hours over 40 in any work week.
O. How is pay for night work
computed?
A. This varies according to To-
cal prevailing practices. In some
localities, wage-board employees
are paid from to 6 cents an
hour extra for night-shift work.
In others they are paid up to Is
per cent extra.

District Markets
Closing Is Urged

The Districts Eastern and
Western Markets shave outlived
their economic usefulness, and
should be closed" the head of
the department which runs
them has told congressional
budget makers.
The comment was made by
Cabell Gwathmey, director of the
Department of Licenses and In
SpectionS, in testimony before
a House Appropriations subcom-
mittee released for publication
today.
The Eastern Market is at Sew
enth and c streets Sc, and the
Western Market is at Twenty
first and K streets NV.
Mr.. Gwathmey's recommended
ton came after long discussion
showing that the two markets
normally operate in the red, al
though the deficit is Offset by
the Fish Market. The Farmers
Market, at Eleventh street and
Maine avenue S.W., is expected
to break even, the testimony in
dicated.
The Eastern Market, Mr..
Gwathmey said, was $1.804 in
the red in the fiscal year 1854,
and Western $4,349. Both are
scheduled for repairs requested
in the budget the subcommittee
is considering. At Western, these
would amount to $8,140 and at
Eastern to $7,315.

WELCOMES COST
DISTRICT LESS
SPENCER FINDS

One thing that's getting
cheaper in the Nations Cap
ital is the cost of ceremonies
to welcome visiting digni-
taries, according to Com
missioner Samuel Spencer.

House subcommittee ham
ding the District budget, re-
leased for publication today.
he declared:
I'VE have cut down the
cost of taking care of the
heads of states from about
$4,000, which it was when
the Queen of Holland came
here three or four years ago,
to about $500 or $500, and no
one knows the difference.
We are giving them just as
good a reception, and I think
we have really made some
progress along that line"
His comment came in sup
port of an item of $4,000
for ceremonial expense next

Veteran Units
Merger Hit

merger OF the DlStr1ctS VET
Grams Service Center with the
Federal Veterans Administra-
ton here was strongly opposed
in House subcommittee hearings
on the city's budget for next
year, the transcript of testimony
disclosed today.
Waldron E. Leonard, director
of the Office of Veterans Affairs,
listed several reasons in answer
to a question by Representative
Rabaut, Democrat. of Michigan,
chairman of the subcommittee.
I'VE find hundreds of jobs for
these people which the Veterans
Administration cannot do" Mr..
Leonard declared.
Also. he said. "it has long been
recognized as a different service,
more so than anything else in
the world. because in your States
your big problem is mostly
claims. which We also have, but
we have other problems which
come up here in order to meet
the demands for veterans service.
when we go before the Vet
erans Administration. we go
there not as a Veterans Admin
istration employe, but in the
same capacity as the people who
deal with them from your own
States. and as a representative
of that man to present his
claim on behalf of the veteran.
The Veterans Administration
cannot and does not do that
Mr.. Leonard insited that work
of the center is growing because
of the Korean war, following a
drop-off after World War II.
However. citing a decline in en-
ployes, he said that as his staff
becomes more experienced it is
able to handle more work.
Mr.. Leonard drew praise from
pOth MIR. Rabaut and from Rep
resentative PaSsman, Democrat,
of Louisiana, but his greatest
kudos came from Representative
Wilson, Republican, of Indiana,
ranking minority member of the
subcommittee and chairman of
the group, under the last Re-
publican-controlled Congress
Il will have to say. Mr.. Leon
ard. that if every department of
the Government was operating
as efficiently as you are, and if
administrators were as whole
heartedly sold on their jobs as
you are, we could balance the ma

We have neither the time

keeping our books in order.
You will have the opportu-

Sunday of each month, at 2
PM. Those of you who have
your children insured on the

pend any child in our Nest,
so again we plead for your
cooperation in keeping your
