Court Ruling Cited on
Nonsensitiye Jobs
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Government has its first
formal demand-in the wake OF
the Supreme Court decision in
the Cole case-that it reinstate q
former employee who was fired as
a security risk" from a nom
sensitive job.
Clifford j. Hynning, attorney
for DR.. William v. vitarelli, one
time educational administrator
Of the Palau Islands, today re-
leased the text of a letter he sent
to Interior Secretary Fred A.
Seaton early last week.
Citing the high courts ruling,
which limited to sensitive" po-
Sitions the power to remove Fed
eral workers under Public Law
1913. the legislative underpinning
of the employee security program,
Mr.. Hynning argued that his
clients dismissal was nudity"
Job Not Listed Sensitive
Mr.. Vitarelli's post never was
designated sensitive" and there
fore it must, under Interiors own
regulations, be considered mon
sensitive" he said. adding:
Accordingly, it is hereby de-
manded that you order. the i'm
mediate restoration to duty of
William Vincent Vitarelli."
There appears to be little like
lihood of any Interior action until
the Justice Department completes
its study Of the full impact of the
courts decision.
Mr.. Hynning's letter disclosed
that Acting Secretary Clarence
A. Davis, after reconsidering the
case, had decided last month he

schedule" Gen. Putt replied,
land the fact that we have met
the milestones in the program to
date would indicate that at least
the early planning had been
quite realistic, and I have no
reasons to believe that, subject
to the vicissitudes of not know
ing exactly where we will wind
up, that it is not a real firm
program"
Time Is Censored
The censored version of Gen
Puts testimony did not show
what period of time was involved
in the schedule he spoke of.
While protesting that funds for
this and other Air Force re-
search projects had been re-
duced in recent years, the gen.
eral disclosed that more than
81 billion had been earmarked
for the intercontinental missile
project since 1854. This includes
1888 million in the bookkeeping
year that begins July /.
Gen. Putt testified that the
long-range missile was given
overriding priority by the Air
Force in 1854, and by the De-
Tense Department in 1855.
Later. he said, the Army and
Navy joined In work on a shorter,
intermediate-range ballistic mis-
sile. and this he said was given
a similar priority rating.
Pioneered by Germans
Gen. Putt said the Air Force
began considering the long-range
weapon in l945 after discovering
pioneering work done by the
Germans. He told Of three sue
cessful preliminary tests in 1919
over a 1o0-mile range to test
guidance systems and firing
mechanisms.
He said that in 1851 emphasis
was applied because "warheads
with relatively high yields" were
perfected. BY this he meant
nuclear warheads.
Answering questions, Gen.
Putt said he believes this coun-
try still is ahead Of the Russians
IN jet engines. radar and mis-
siles but at least this gives me
small comfort"
Asked whgyhe replied:
Because Of the rate with
which they are demonstrating
a capability to do some pretty
dificult and complicated things"
II the Russians continue their
scientific and production feats,
he said, It Is possible they could
lurpass this country in airpower
md weapons In the near future.

y. S. Retirement Plan
Foes Scored by Union
Lower-Puid
Employee Hit,
Hearing Told
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

Federal employee leaders
charged today that the adj
ministration's civil service re-
tirement plan would discrimi-
nate against lower salaried en-
ployes.
The employee union officials
testified as the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee started hearings
Of the Senate-approved Johnston
Civil Service retirement bill.
Jerome ]. Heating, vice presi-
dent of the National Association
of Letter Carriers and chairman
Iof }, the AFL-CIO Government
Employees Councils Retirement
Committee, made the following
points:
l. The administrations 1 and
~ per cent retirement computa-
ton formula would result in no
annuity increases for Federal
employees earning $500 or less.
He pointed out that the present
1-per-cent-plus-$25 formula in
effect for lower salaried employees
gives them a better or at least
equal annuity than the admins
tration's and "a per cent pro-
lpoSal.
2. This proposed formula
would only result in next to
nothing" increases for employees
earning less than 5000 a year.
3. The only employees who
would benefit substantially would
be those in the upper brackets
who would receive annuity boosts
OF more than IS per cent.
Rate Formula Favored
The Senate-approved measure
provides q 2 per cent computa-
ton rate formula which Mr..
Heating said was satisfactory to
employe groups. The present
rate is / and " per cent.
Mr.. Heating also challenged
the administrations estimate
that the Senate measure would
cost 1854 million a year. He
said this estimate was based on
a projected $40 billion annual
Federal payroll, while the pres
ent Government payroll is only
SO billion. At the same time, he
said, the administrators eSti-
mate on additional income to
the retirement system resulting
from an extra / per cent employee
salary contribution was based on
the So billion figure.
When it came to costs they
projected at a great rate, but
when it came to revenue they
projected not at ALL" Mr.. Keat-
ing said.
Other Federal employee leaders
also struck back at the admin
istration's opposition to optional
3O-year retirement privileges of
Government workers.
E. c. Hallbeck. legislative d.
rector of the National Federation
lof Post ONCE Clerks, said that
only a relatively small minority
OF Federal workers would elect
to retire at an early age.
Cost Estimates Hit
early retirement would in
fact be limited to those for whom
there was a compelling necessity.
Inc ultimate cost to the retire
ment system would be much less
than is commonly estimated"

President Eisenhower today
put in a boost for rural libraries
as he signed legislation in his
Walter Reed Hospital quarters
authorizing an expenditure OF
SIS million annually for a five-
year program of library-exten-
sion in the States and insular
possessions.
The money is to be allotted on
a matching basis and in his brief
statement the President said the
program shows promise of lead
ing to significant enrichment of
the lives of millions Of Ameri-
cans, which ! am confident will
be continued by the States when
this limited program comes to
an end"
The President put in As min
|utes on paper work" this morn
ing in a session with Sherman
Adams. his principal assistant,
and other staff members.
Signs Four Other Bills
He also signed four other bills;
letters of transmittal for two
annual reports of Government
agencies and several other docu-
ments, including six commits
sions. One of these covered the
reappointment of Hugh M.
Conner, of Birmingham, Ala, as
a member of the National Monu-
ment Commission, and another
designated Clarence G. Morse as
chairman of the Federal Mari
time Board.
The Presidents doctors re-
ported at midday that his con-
dition continues to progress
very satisfactorily"
In the light of the encouraging
reports that have come from the
Presidents bedside, White House
Press Secretary James C. Hagerty
was asked today if Mr.. Eisen-
hover was still in any pain, and
he responded that he still knows
that he had an operation.
Continues to Gain
Pointing out that there are
wire sutures still in the Presi-
dents body, Mr.. Hagerty ampli-
fled that he isn't comfortable
yet" Secretary Hagerty said he
could not comment on a report
that July 20 had been selected
as the new date for the meeting
of the heads of American states
in Panama. The meeting was
postponed because Of the Pres
ident's illness. The secretary
said firming up of the date would
await advices from the govern
ment of Panama and others
interested.
The President went on a

regular" soft diet today-the
10th day after his operation
and the morning bulletin from
his physicians said "his condi-
ton continues to progress salts
factorily."
For breakfast the President
had a full glass of SKINNED milk,
instead of a half glass given him
previously and he also had two
soft boiled eggs. a piece of whole
wheat toast with honey and a
cup of tea.
Whether it will be possible to
dispense with the intravenous
feelings of glucose and amino
acids which he previously re-
ceived has not been determined
yet. The President was not
scheduled to receive any visitors
today except members Of his
staff.
Good Nights Rest
The 8 am. bulletin said:
1.-THE President had another
good nights rest. He slept ale
most continuously for about
eight hours. His temperature is
SO, pulse rs, blood pressure
114/70 and respiration 10, all of
which is normal.
"His weight before breakfast
was 1862.
"The President is now on a
regular soft diet; his breakfast
this morning was the same as
yesterday, except that he had a
full glass of skinned milk.
His condition continues to
progress satisfactorily; his spirits
and morale are high."'
No Change in Weight
The Presidents weight is the
same as yesterday.
Mr.. Hagerty said it is now
planned to weigh the President
daily before breakfast.
He disclosed late yesterday
that the Presidents doctors
plan to increase day by day this
week the amount of food served
him in Walter Reed Army Hos
|pital.
This is a normal procedure, Mr..
Hagerty said, to restore the Presi-
dents energy and build back the
weight lost during several days
or intravenous feeding after his
operation 10 days ago.
Mr.. Hagerty, badgered by
questions about apparent differ
enceS of opinion in the medical
profession concerning chances of
the Presidents intestinal ailment
recurring. agreed to ask the at
tending doctors for comment. He
might have their answer today.
but there was no assurance of
this.

100000 Draft
Shown byCha|k
ToCTCHead
Broudwuter Pledges
Bourd Will Discuss
Transit Proposal
BY HECTOR MCLEAN

Q. Roy Chalk and Morris Fox,
would-be transit operators seek
ing to upset the conditional sale
of Capital Transit Co. to Ma
tional City Lines, today showed
a 100000 sight draft to etc
president J. A. B. Broadwater,
but got only a promise from him
to discuss their proposal with
the board of directors on June
%.
This was announced by etc
vice president E. c. Giddings
after Mr.. Chalk and Mr.. Fox
had conferred for half an hour
with Mr.. Broadwater.
In the meantime, representa-
tives Of a third group seeking
to buy out etc conferred with
the District Commissioners. In
the party were Harry A. McDon-
aid, former head of the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. and of
the Securities and Exchange
Commission, and Ansel Luxford
and John w. Pehle, lawyers in
volved in the recent effort by
Daniel w. Bell, president of
American Security g. Trust
Co., to arrange a CTC reorgani-
zation.
Terms Discussed
Mr.. Mcdonald said they had
explained their proposal and dis
cusSed franchise terms they de-
sired.
Robert E. Mclaughlin, presi-
dent Of the Board of Commits
sioners, said he was convinced of
the groups financial ability to
carry out proposed purchase of
etc and that it would guar
antee management in local
hands. He said franchise terms
desired by the Mcdonald group
were fairly close to those pre-
ferred by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the Nc
Donald plan of financing was
similar to that proposed by Mr..
Bell, under which Capital Tran
sit would buy out and retire the
stock Of its controlling share
holder, Louis E. Wolfson. How
ever, Mr.. Mclaughlin said, the
Mcdonald plan did not involve
participation by an underwriting
flrm, and would have financed
part Of the purchase by issuance
of debenture bonds on company
property.
COnferees to Get Report
The Commissioners, in the
meantime, were awaiting a visit
from representatives of National
City Lines, conditional purchas-
ers Of etc. Afterwards, he said,
the Commissioners would imme-
diately begin writing a report to
Senate and House conferees on
the conditional purchase and on
the offers made by the Chalk
Fox and the Mcdonald groups.
He said the report would be
submitted to the conferees to-
morrow.
Mr.. Fox and Mr.. Chalk con-
ferred late yesterday with the
Commissioners, accompanied by
Attorneys Edward F. and D. c.
