Type Insurance

The Civil Service Commission
today sent to Congress legisla-
tive proposals for saving the
life insurance policies Of retired
and separated Government
workers who hold such policies
in employe beneficial associa-
tions.
Last years Federal employe
life insurance program jeop-
ardized the policies of these for
mer Government workers, since
the employe beneficial associa-
tions in most cases are being
forced out of. the business be-
cause Of the more attractive
Government policies.
The law has permitted the
transfer of these policies en-
ploye association to the Govern
ment only If the membership
voted unanimously in favor of
such action. This has proved to
be virtually impossible.
The CSC's proposal to Con-
gress would amend the inSur-
ance law to enable retired and
former Government workers to
transfer their policies to the
Government If they wished to do
SO. They would continue paying
the premiums they had paid in
the past, with the same amount
of coverage.
It is estimated that about co.
900 retired and other separated
Government workers hold life
insurance policies in employe
beneficial associations.

7 Bribery Figures
Remuin Free on
Appeal Bonds

Suspended Police, Capt. John
B. Monroe and six co-defend-
ants. recently sentenced to jail
terms on bribery charges, are to
remain free on $4,000 bond
pending outcome Of an appeal
from their conviction.
The bond was decreed today
by the U. s. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia. The
men had been free on tempo
rary bond in the same amount
set by Appellate Judge E. Bar
rett Prettyman about two weeks
ago.
Appeal bond is granted only
where the judges feel that there
is a substantial question of law
involved in the appeal. Among
the questions raised by the con-
victed men are the issue Of the
admissibility of certain evidence
involving a recorded telephone
conversation and the problem Of
whether such a recorded con-
versation is tantamount to wire
tapping.
Those under sentence are, in

Describing the Tennessee VAL
ley Authority as a going, histori-
cal concern that serves a useful
purpose, President Eisenhower
promised today that his admin
istration never will wreck the
iva.
He said at his news confer
ence that he was unacquainted
with a reported Hoover Commis-
sion task force recommendation
that IVA steam plant facilities
be turned over to the Atomic
Energy Commission or other
wise sold or leased.
A later news story from the
Chattanooga Times reported
that the Hoover Commission it.
self seemed more inclined to ap-
prove proposals for changes in
the IVA charter than to accept
a recommendation for complete
dissolution.
COmmlttee'S Work
MIR. Eisenhower commended
the commission for effective and
earnest work in graphing not
only with governmental reor-
ganization matters but func-
tional problems as well. He said
he did not know enough about
details of iva organization or
the reported task force proposals
to comment in this instance.
Any proposals will receive thor
ough study not only by the full
commission and executive
agencies but also by Congress,
he noted.
But he emphasized that his
administration would never wreck
iva. He declared that not many
people would quarrel with the
purpose for which it was estab-
liShed.
The President also came to
the defense, although somewhat
guardedly, of the military COM
miSsarieS and post exchanges
which a Hoover Commission re-
port suggests should be shut
down.
Explaining that he had not
yet read the report, he assured
reporters he opposes uncontrolled
spread or abuse Of such military
facilities. But he added that it
would be q terrible injustice to

day.
Naturally, the talk was about
dogs.
DR.. Menzel. petite and dy-
manic. and a fluent CONVERSE
tionalist, described how she
evolved her canine aptitude
test.
Extensive research studies in
the different Inheritance char
acteristics Of the mental quail
tiles of dogs led her to the
theory which proved valuable
in World War II that each
dog trained for defense "had
q job to do" according to his
capabilities. his intelligence
and his nervous temperament.
She trained dogs to detect
buried land mines. Some she
trained to track criminals or
spies, and others to guard out
posts. The prewar training
methods she developed were
used by the allied forces in the
Middle East sector during
World War II.
DR.. Menzel has already inter-
ested American Kennel Club
authorities in her canine intel
ligence test. She thinks it will
bring about better satisfied pet
owners, as well as pets-in
other words, the right dog for
the right person.
DR.. Menzel's main interest
now is the rehabilitation Of
blinded veterans of Israel's war
of independence. So she
helped found the American
Israel Lighthouse Foundation
for Guide Dogs five years ago.
Using the same tests she
used on war dogs, DR.. Mcneil
has turned out go canine grad
yates and made new lives for

the dogs are police dogs, others
are German shepherds and
others are boxers or mixtures

The ancient art Of debating is
once again on the upswing if
events at the University Of Del
aware are any indication.
Two years ago debating sOcie-
~ was organized on the Newark
campus, and the group has rapidly
gained prOwess in the field of col
legiate debate. The Delaware team
visited Temple last Saturday to
participate in the Novice Debate
Tournament and returned with de-
cisions in FIVE Of eight individual
debates.
DR.. Ray E. Keesey's debaters
mastered affirmative teams from
Brooklyn College and Penn State
as well as negative teams from
Penn State, Rutgers and VillanOva.
Their only losses came at the
hands Of Columbia, MarywOOd and
Virginia.
The results mark a promising
future for debating at the Univer-
sity Of Delaware since, in the nov
ice event, only those who had no
previous debating experience were
allowed to participate. Sixtv-seven
colleges and universities sent rep
resentatives to the tournament.
Representing the University of
Delaware were John B. Maybee,
Ronald P. Sores, Robert B. Ulin,
Thomas ]. Waters, and Sherman
Webb. DR.. Keesey accompanied the
students and served as one Of the
judges.
The Delaware debateTs met stu
dents from Morgan State College
in Baltimore in an earlier contest
on a nOn-decision basis.
Debating among college students
is coordinated by a national body
and each institution prepares argu-
ments on the same subject. During
the current school year, the Uni
versity Of Delaware team has en-
gagged in ten intercollegiate de-
bates on the topic, "ResOlved: thai
nOnagricultural industries should
guarantee to their employees ar
annual wage"
In addition to individual and
demonstration debates scheduled
for the months ahead, the Della
ware team plans to enter tOurna
ments at Kings College, Wilkes
Barre, Pa; Penn State Universit!
and the University Of Virginia.
