Joyridingg Raj
Corporal Crashes,
Kills 4 Frenchmen

VALENCIENNES, France, R-
A nearsighted young British Air
Force corporal, climaxing a wild
aerial joyride, crashed a stolen
Raj training plane through
French home at the village of
Vicq Monday night, killing him
self and four villagers.
The corporal, a ground crew.
man with only student pilots
license, was found dead in the
charred Wreckage of the 100000
plane, twin engine Vickers
Varsity with 95-foot wingspan
and a weight of more than Is
tons.
Identified as Nick Agnani, 20,
British subject who was born
in the area which is now Paki-
stan, he took the plane Monday
night from the Torney Island
Navigation School in Hampshire,
England.
He nearly stalled and crashed
at the takeoff, a witness said, but
kept the plane aloft. Then he
circled the field and set off for
London, 60 miles southwest. He
'cruised dizzily over London for
nearly three hours, roaring back
and forth at heights ranging from
20 to 1000 feet, and then van
ished
Evidently he headed immedi-
ately for the continent. His end
came in this French coal mining
region near the Belgian border
about ITS miles southeast of Lon
don. Vicq lies not far from Val
encienneS.
The British Air Ministry said
there was requirement on
Agnani's student pilots license
that, because of his nearsighted-
ness, he wear glasses while fly
ing.

The Justice Department today
asked the United States Court
of Appeals here for an extern
sion until October 81 to reply
to accusations the Civil Service
Commission acted in bad faith
lin the case of a 40-year-old
Army, clerk who was first sls-
pended as a loyalty risk in 1852.
Mrs. Evelyn r. Burrell. who
lat the time OF her suspension
was a payroll clerk at Curtis
Bay, Md. Is the principal In
volved. Her lawyers late last
week filed q motion opposing the
Governments contention that
her case should be thrown out
as moot.

charged that there has been ian
obvious effort of the Civil Sery-
ice Commission to eyade &C.
knowledging or having this court
determine" that she was dis
missed in a wrongful. arbitrary
and capricious manner
In brief, this is the history of
the case:
A regional loyalty board found
Mrs. Burrell to be q risk and
also unsuitable for her lob. The
Loyalty Review Board, however
reversed the Regional Board on
the loyalty aspect and recon-
mended against accepting the
lower panels finding on suit
ability.
The csc decided to go along
with the lower panel and Mrs,
Burrell was fired for unsuitable
lity. But two weeks ago. the
commission decided to ."sacate''
Its action and tossed the case
back to the Army. It said the
matter more properly" should
have been handled under the
new security program. and di-
Irected the Army to restore her.
The Army, however. reinstated
her to the status Of under sus-
pension.
Frank d. Reeves and Milton
B. Allen, In their motion last
Friday. told the court that to
hold the case moot might bar
Mrs Burrell from obtaining back
pay they feel she is entitled to.

cause of the Federal budget
situation, many -aderal Offices

pay the new $12-a-day maxi
mum travel rate authorized by
Congress for Federal employees
this year, The same situation
applies to the new io-cent mile
age allowance authorized BY
Congress, Mr.. hardwood said.
The NFFE president said the
situation arises from the fact
that the Budget Bureau has re-
|Quired departments and agen-I
|cies to absorb the travel allow
Iance increases without asking
for supplemental funds from
Congress early next year. Since
many bureaus are without any
extra funds, they cannot pay
the new travel allowance
amounts, he said.
The increased travel allow
ances are permissiye and not
mandatory on the agencies
Therefore. the budgetary situa-I
ton coupled with the permissiveI
feature has resulted in many
bureaus not authorizing the
travel increases. Mr.. hardwood
said the NFFE would seek cor
receive action by Congress next
