The Star today presents the
1856 annual leave chart for Gov
eminent employees. It's the ham
diest and most complete leave
chart yet devised.
The 1856 leave year starts next
January /. 1t ends at midnight.
January IL. 1857.
Generally speaking. Govern
ment employees can carry over
into 1857 leave year the amount
of annual leave they had ac-
cumulated as of January /. 1856.
Employees with less than 80 days
as of January /. 1856. can only
accumulate a maximum of 80
days.
The enactment of Public Law
102. dated July 2. 1858. amend
ing the Annual and Sick Leave
Act of 1851. changed the leave
year so that it ends at the start
of the first complete pay period
of the new year. Thus the 1855
leave year ends January II. 1857,
and for the same reason the 1855
leave year ends on December 81,
1855.
The present laws provide 13
days u04 hours a year annual
leave for employees with less than
three years of service, 20 days
Q60 hours for those with three
to IS years service, and 26 days
(208 hours for those with more
than Is years service.
However, since the 1856 leave
year will extend into the first IL
days of 1857, Federal employees
will earn more annual leave dur
ing the coming leave year. The
total amounts of annual leave
that will be earned during the
1856 leave year viii be 10S. 166
and 216 hours, respectively. EN-
ployes will have until January IL.
1857, to use all of their annual
leave earned during 1866. (Em-
ployes with less than 80 days Of
leave can build UP their accumu-
lation to 30 days.)

consideration Of proposals deal
ing with using the atom for
peace. The U. N. still is debating
control of the atom as part Of
disarmament plans.
Some delegates privately
pointed out this scientific COM
mittee will be especially useful
in view of wide-ranging reports
Of radiation resulting from the
gigantic nuclear blast set off by
the Soviet Union recently.
The committee will consist of
Argentina, Australia. Belgium,
Brazil, Canada. Czechoslovakia,
Egypt, France. India. Japan.
Mexico, Sweden, Britain. United
States and. Soviet Union.
The Assembly asked all gov
ernments to cooperate in max
ing available reports and studies
relating to effects of radiation
upon man and his environment.
Romulo Challenges Reds
Brig. Gen. Carlos p. Romulo,
delegate Of the Philippines, chal-
lenged the Russians to admit
members of this scientific COM
mittee to their tests as the United
States permitted foreigners to
view the Bikini tests in 1916. The
Russians made no reply.
In it's final action on the
atoms-for-peace program, the
Assembly noted with satisfaction
that substantial progress has
been made toward negotiating a
draft statute establishing this
agency and that this draft has
been circulated to governments
for their consideration and COM
ment.
