1t is always sad day when good
friends pass away and 1 a nicer

be missed but remembered by its
many friends.
Sincerely yours,

Dr.. Overholser

Mental Hygiene

Dr.. Winfred Overholser, super
intendent of st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, has been reelected presi-
dent Of the Washington Institute
of Mental Hygiene. He has
headed the Community Chest
agency since 1897.
Others elected in the agency's
annual meeting last week were

Board members elected for a
three-year term were G. Rowland
Shaw. Mrs. Stuart, DR.. Frieda
Fromm- Reichmann, Mrs. George
P. Scriven, the Rev. Leo ]. Coady

body" said Mr.. Corsi glumly.
Mr.. Mcleod, on the other
hand, has enjoyed the support
of two Senators. Jenner, Repub-
lican, of Indiana, and Mcclellan,
Democrat, of Arkansas, who have
expressed the belief that Mr..
Corsi's pride and ambition were
the real issue in the case.
Mr.. Dulles has since said that
Mr.. CorSi tried to circumvent
the law. Mr.. Mcleod says it was
all due to administrative con-
fusion" Mr.. Corsi says the
question is whether a man called
into public service can be kicked
around with impunity."
Mr.. Corsi's departure from the
State Department has been the
most clamorous on record. In
stead of the traditional stiff up
per lip, the stiff bow to the
Secretary and the silent with
drawal, he has been protesting
every minute. He intends, he
says, to go on protesting.
And still, those questions stand
why was he hired-and why
was he fired.

%PayRis

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia, announced
last night that he would intro
duce a bill tomorrow calling for
an average pay increase of rs
per cent for classified Federal
workers, retroactive to March /.
Predicting that the postal en-
ploye pay rise measure approved
by Congress would be vetoed by
President Eisenhower, he said:
"It just doesn't make sense to
hold up action on pay raises for
classified workers until Congress
deals with the Presidents veto
and then, because the veto bill
will be sustained, have to start
from scratch again on the postal
employe pay hike.
THE large army Of classified
workers has been the tail end
of the dog too long,"
Average S315 Boost
Mr.. Broyhill is a member of
the House Post ONCE and Civil
Service Committee. He expects
his bill to come before the COM
mittee Thursday when itItakes
up the desirability of immediate
action on classified salaries.
Under the Broyhill measure,
with its minimum rise of 6 per
cent, classified employees would
get an average increase of
$315.94 a year. This compares
with the administrations pro-
posal for an average rise Of
$205.57.
In announcing his new bill.
Mr.. Broyhill promised to do
everything in my power to have
Congress greenlight classified
pay" He asserted: MY object
will be to substitute money in
their pockets for empty prom
ises."
Puts Classified First
Noting that postal workers
have generally set the pace on
increases, he asked for a re-
versal of that procedure.
Let us act on classified legis-
lation and then tackle postal
legislation again with our eyes
on reality instead Of political
advantage. he said. by such
an approach we can give all
Federal employees a much-de-
served and overdue pay increase.
And we can give the classified
workers equal treatment with the
postal workers"
The Republican congressman
contended that it was rank I'M
fairness" to vote more for postal
than for other workers and
pledged himself to work vigor-
ously for pay equality"

16, by which time, Mr.. Mcleod
says: Mr.. Corsi's vague status
was affecting staff morale" BY
that time also, Secretary of
State Dulles was in receipt of a
letter from Chairman Walter of
the House Judiciary immigration
Subcommittee.
Mr.. Walter strongly urged Mr..
Dulles to dispense with Mr..
Corsi's services both on the basis
Of Mr.. Corsi's membership in
certain suspect organizations and
his outspoken criticism of the
McCarran-Wa Act.
Mr.. Corsi says he asked Mr..
Mcleod how about the attacks
from Mr.. Walter, and that Mr..
Mcleod offered cool advice:
Never fight a Congressman or a
skunk" Mr.. Mcleod remembers
no such "colorful language"
Mr.. Mcleod says he suggested
as graceful exit from the State
Department, for Mr.. Corsi, a
trip to South America. If he
wanted to stay, Mr.. Mcleod says
he told Mr.. Corsi. it should be

On April 7, Mr.. Dulles told
the press that Mr.. Corsi's ap-
pointment was only for 80 days
anyway.
Two days later. Mr.. Corsi had
a meeting with Secretary Dulles
and his aide, Roderick O'Connor.
Somehow the Senators never
got around to asking Mr.. Corsi
about that. He has told the press
that at that meeting it was ex-
planned to him by the Secretary
that the Department simply
could not afford to incur con-
gressional displeasure. The
offered him the South American
trip again. Mr.. Corsi said no, and
he was on his way.
Silence From G. 0. p.
One curious corollary to all
this is that Mr.. Corsi, said to be
a power among the large Italian
American bloc in the pivotal
State of New York, has aroused
no Republican war-cries on his
behalf. When he emerged blink
ing and disconsolate from his
conference with Mr.. Dulles, a
reporter asked him, since he had

The hearings on the brief
career of State Department i'm
migration expert Edward j. Cor
81, this administrations most
celebrated expellee, left two
questions hanging in mid-air:
Why was he hired-and why
was he fired?
Mr.. Corsi is a New York Re
publican who has a hint of Da-
mon Runyon in his talk. The
way he tells it, the administra-
ton, having wooed and won him,
promptly began to treat him like
a lovesick girl once he came. He
had hardly arrived when he was
bundled off to Europe"-heav-
fly chaperoned. When he came
back. they suggested another
jaunt to South America.
According to State Depart
ment Security Chief Scott Nc
Leod. an Iowa Republican who
talks Federal prose-though by
his own description mot a vet
eran bureaucrat"-the problem
was "to hitch Mr.. Corsi into the
program" He kept, Mr.. Mcleod
regretfully indicates, kicking

The very circumstances of Mr..

thought he was coming in at q
higher level-as special assist
ant to the Secretary Of State
on refugee and migration pro-
grams"
Mr.. Mcleod says he added Mr..
Corsi's name to a list of likely
prospects for the refugee job,
and the Secretary, who had once
had Mr.. Corsi's aid in a New
York senatorial campaign,
plucked it out. Mr.. Corsi says
he came to Washington after
consultation with Presidential
Aide Maxwell Rabb, who was
concerned with the slow trickle
of refugees to these shores.
Mr.. Corsi thought he was here
to put this program on the
rails" Mr.. Mcleod thought he
was getting assistance on a pro-
gram that had to be "tooled UP
and stated up" but is now pro-
crossing smoothly.
Anyway, Mr.. Corsi says, when
he arrived on January Is, the
welcome mat was not out.

never told me where the pencils

Mr.. Mcleod, however, says, 81

Mcleod called one of them "a

The opening lead against the

Mr.. Meek thought 1t necessary to

His reason was that he wanted

with the king. He cashed the
ace. on which Mrs. Keen played
the four Of clubs.
Now MIR. Meek got the idea that
Mr.. Dale might have the guarded
king Of clubs or the king and
Jack Of clubs. So he underled
his ace, hoping his partner could
get her queen home. Mr.. Dale
played the 10 and Mrs. Keen did
win with the queen. But she
failed to return the suit on the
reasoning that Mr.. Dale now had
left the ace and Jack. She was
also reluctant to break the spade

diamond.
