General Brownell that deductions be
made for the FBI Special Agents Mutual
BENEFIT Association. This is an officially
sponsored benefit organization providing
disqualification and surgical insurance
through private company for FBI
employees and their families. The Con-
troller General held that while Federal
law permits deductions for income taxes,
civil service retirement annuities and
Federal group life insurance, there is no
legal authority for extending the method
to cover nonstatutory collections-how
ever worthy.
There seems to be little chance that
Congress at this session will consider
legislation to legalize payroll deductions
for the local United Fund, now being
organized. If the next drive in the Federal
establishment should suffer for lack of a
withholding system, however, Congress
should see to it that the defect is
corrected before another United Givers'
Fund campaign is launched

Legislation Needed

Controller General Campbell's ruling
against Federal payroll deductions for
non-Federal purposes ends all hope for
early adoption of Withholding plan in
connection with the United Givers Fund.
1t has been said that payroll deduction
system for Government employees as well
as for private workers would contribute
materially to the success of Washington'S
FIRST test Of the expanded and reorganized
one-package campaign. But the Con-
troller General, in limiting the use Of the
Withholding arrangement by Federal
agencies, has made it evident that special
legislation will be necessary to authorize
such deductions.

End of the Trail

The logged primary campaign which
has taken Adlai Stevenson and Estes
kefauver back and forth across the land
comes to the end of the trail in California
tomorrow. And as the decisive day APP
proacheS, political blood presSureS show
corresponding tendency to soar.
Most of the political alley-fighting
Is coming from the Kefauver camp,
which, considering his underdog rating,
is not too surprising Some of the Demo-
cratic reactions, however, if not surpriS-
Ing, are at least amusing.
Why should any Democrat briStle
when Senator Kefauver says that the
party bosses are backing Mr.. Stevenson?
And especially so when this is obviously
true. Why do they get hot under the
collar when the TennesSean suggests
that his opponent is partial to corpora
tons or that he is something less than
an about champion of the old folks?
The offended ones would think nothing
OF saying such things as these, and
worse, about any Republican, including
the President. But when one Democrat
says them about another-that is diff
ferent.
The reason is, of course, that the
effects of such charges, whether true or
untrue, are not entirely diSSipated by
the ending of the primary campaign. The
doubts raised in the minds of the voters
are apt to linger on And if by any
chance the voters should forget these
charges, the Republican orators can be
relied upon to refresh their recollectionS
= quoting Senator Kefauver as their
authority.
So lit is understandable that the
Stevenson strategiSts should be looking
forward to the era of relative peace and
quiet which should begin tomorrow. Once
the voting starts in the last primary, they
can expect an end to the devious business
OF suggesting, by the question technique,
that the Stevenson encourage sings one
tune on the segregation issue in the
South, and quite different tune in
California.
This is tactic of desperation by a
desperate politician. 1t is reminiscent of
Bernard DeVoto'S book, The Year of
Decision-the story of the great migra-
ton to California in the 1840's, when no
man in his senses would think of letting
q half-Starved fellow migrant come UP
behind him.

First. Test of LoyoH Pay

While the So-called guaranteed
annual wage principle is being discussed
in current Steel-labor negotiations. a
variation of it receives its first test this
month in the auto industry. With
approximately 100000 auto workers laid
of because of curtailed production, a
minority of them will begin this week
to receive supplementary unemployment
benefits from joint company State
compensation funds Only those who
have been employed by the Big Three
companies and who have been laid off
since May l will benefit initially. This
system for supplementary unemployment
Dement'S was first accepted by the Big
Three, and as compromise to an out
right guaranteed annual wage.
Three Federal rulings, incidentally,
have helped clear the way to initial
application of this formula. Late last,
year the Internal Revenue Service ruled
that employer contributions to the funds
could be deducted as ordinary business
expenses. At about the same time the
Labor Department ruled that such contri-
buttons need not be considered wages"
on which overtime pay would be calcu-
lated. And last week the Internal
Revenue Service decided that such bene-
fits would not be subject to Withholding
or social security taxes.
Since time has not permitted
build-up of sizeable funds, the first
benefits will be limited both in dollars
and duration. There will, however, be
some grounds for measuring effectiveness
Of the plan as a factor in economic
security and stability.

Bond Issue Vote


Arlingtonians are urged to
vote Tuesday for the bond
issues for school and court
house improvements.
This election marks a sig
niflcant stage in our county's
development. Support of these
bond issues by a combination
of citizens who have not al
ways seen eye to eye-sym-
bolized by the joint action Of
the school and county boards
in indorsing and explaining
them to the public-is most
heartening. We hope this will
establish a precedent which
can be followed with the many
other problem areas needing
attention.
In the past, Arlington has
fallen far short Of its posi-
bilities, partly because so few
of its well-meaning citizens
have been disposed to think
understandingly of county re-
quirementS outside the areas
Of their main interest. This
has led to dissipation of civic
energies, of liberals and con-
Servatives alike. in efforts to
restrain each other. The result
has been to Illustrate and re-
tard development all along the
line.
During the past two years
many have worked hard to
foster the understanding and
moderation that seemed es-
Sential to allow balanced COM
munity development. The
principal focus of their efforts
has been the Committee of
100, consisting of commuters
and local business-professional
people in equal proportions.
While this committee has en-
phasized ucation and
eschewed politics. the ideas
and the spirit for which it
stands have evidently had a
strong impact on both local
political parties. This was
demonstrated twice during the
past month. First, at the town
meeting to nominate an ABC
Qiberal) county -board candi-
date. There the committees
chairman-elect, the first local
businessman ever to offer him
self as a candidate before that
predominantly com muter
group, received about 40 per
cent of the total vote. A few
days later, at the convention
Of the conservative AIM, the
original chairman Of the COM
mittee received the county
board nomination by an over
whelming majority.
The fruits of such efforts
can come only with citizen
support at the polls. Persons of
all shades of political opinion
are urged to turn out in num-
bers and vote for these
urgently needed public i'm
provements. Each of us can
thus help in realizing our COM
munity's great potential.
