Home improvement is quite

by the tremendous campaign
by industries to per-
suade us to modernize or at
least remodel our homes. We'll
be adding a lot of gadgetS and
don't doubt it--a lot of good
old ideas from Grandpa's house.
The number of oldtime fea-
lures about a house that have
bounced back into favor is amaz-
ing when Syou start TO count
them. The old-fashioned parlor
is back. The family dining room
refused to stay in the grave. The
pantry is pretending to be one of
the latest discoveries in new
house plans. The speaking tube
now called an intercom-and
the clothes chute.
A friend snorted the other day

Crime Study
Approved Here

The District Commissioners
today approved plan to develop
the District prison system into a
research center where the basic
factors of crime might better be
understood.
The action came with rare
speed barely 80 minutes after
Corrections Director Donald
Clemmer submitted the proposal.
The only concern expressed by
| the Commissioners was over the
possibility that the institute ulti-
mately may require a special
staff. Mr.. Clemmer gave them
assurances, however, that the
work can suitably be handled by
eight or 10 regular employees of
his department. They would do
their studying and evaluating
after regular hours, something
they do informally now, he said.
Mr.. Clemmer added that he
feels chances are excellent" for
attracting grants from founda-
tons to meet whatever costs may
be required. He also proposed
a board of citizen advisors.
Mr.. Clemmer also said that he
expects that the research will be
solid and undramatic," and will
be a modest" undertaking in
volving not only members of his
staff but graduate students and
specialists at local universities.
| Mr.. Clemmer sees in his 4.4OO
prisoners gold mine for GRIM
inal research on a scientific level
and today asked for creation of
an Institute for Chronological
Research"
The proposed research would
cover these subjects:
/ /. The causes of criminal be-
lhavior.
! 2. Personality factors of often
ders.
3. The validity of correctional
practices.
4. The study of human nature
itself.
Mr.. Clemmer feels that while
"a crimeless society is beyond
hope. certainly society must aim
for a elimination of crime and
of the pathology from which it
Springs" Pointing to the tragedy
as well as the cost-the cost of
crime in the District is set at
SIS million a year-Mr. Glenn
imer told the Commissioners:
.. this perplexing problem
of crime not only persists but
increases and little investigation
and research is under way into
the fundamental causes locally,
or indeed, anywhere"
Mr.. Clemmer's proposal could
be undertaken without direct
cost to the District. he said.
He told the Commissioners one
of the basic proposals of the
project would see the new Youth
Corrections Center, to be built
in October of this year for male
IfelonS between Is and 26 years
of age. turned into a center for
research into human behavior
generally and criminal behavior
specifically.

the National Bureau of Stand
ards, said automation can help
rather than injure employees.
Sometimes I have heard it
said that these machines are
'electronic brains or that they
are in competition with hui
MANS" DR.. Astin said. This is
an incorrect view I believe.
Computors are tools for the use
of men. They help to extend
the range of activities which he
can undertake and they relieve
him of the burden of routine
tasks. I believe these machines
will give man the opportunity
and the leisure for more prom
Using and rewarding tasks"
James A. Campbell. president
of the American Federation of
Government Employees, said his
organization does not oppose
progress. But Mr.. Campbell said
the Government should issue a
statement of policy that when
ever attenuation is installed in
an agency the employees involved
will be given on-the-job train
ing so that they can fill the re-
sultant new positions rather
than employees from the outside.
Also. DR.. Campbell said, if
there are no new jobs available
in which to place employees
whose jobs have been abolished
through automation, then these
workers should be placed in
other jobs of equal grade in the
agency or elsewhere in Govern
ment.

j. Heating. vice president Of the
National Association of Letter
Carriers, declared:
although there are Hatch
Act restrictions on various types
of political activities by Federal
employees. there are a lot OF
things that we still can do.
First. it is inexcusable for
any Federal employe to fail to
vote" Mr.. Heating said.
"Also. employees can express
their private opinion freely re-
garding campaign issues and
the candidates they prefer.
Federal employees and their
union officials can do their part
in seeing that their colleagues
and friends who feel as they do
register To vote and make sure
that they exercise this vote when
the elections roll around"
Mr.. Heating added: I'VE have
a vital interest in seeing to 1T
that we have a friendly Congress.
Our benefits. our rights, our
very jobs depend on the policies
formulated by the Congress"
While Mr.. Heating did not
mention it, the employe organi-
cations plan to do whatever they
can to aid their friends in Con-
gress who are seeking re-elec-
ton. Also in some cases of
members who have been hostile
to Federal employee legislation,
the unions will give whatever
support they can muster to OPP
ponents Of these members. The
council represents member
unions with a total membership
of 100000 Federal workers.

AUTOMATION-A top Defense
Department official predicted
yesterday that automation in
Government will adversely affect
few, If any, Federal employees.
Charles A. Phillips, assistant
director of the Office of Assist
ant Secretary of Defense's ac-
counting policy division. made
this prediction at a panel dis
cussion on automation sponsored
by the Society for Personnel Ad-
lministration. The SPA is hold
ing its annual conference at the
Hotel Statler.
Mr.. Phillips said he knows of
not a single case where any
white-collar Office employee has
lost his or her job because of
automation. The defense official
sail policies are being formulated
to ease whatever adverse effects
automation might have on Fed
ieral employees. If properly
planned there will seldom be

He declared he will submit a

gresS only when his agency COM
pleteS survival studies and de-
velops solid information on the
problem.
His estimate that current
studies may continue for several
months drew the fire of the
chairman of the Government
Operations Subcommittee, Repre-
sentative Holif1eld, Democrat of
California. Mr.. Holif1eld said he
had Every serious doubts" about
too much reliance on evacuation
in the face of dangers from
atomic blast fallout, radiation
and water contamination.
Sees Greater Danger =
Representative Riehlman, Re-
publican of New York, agreed
with Mr.. Holifield that missiles
which now could be launched
from enemy submarines or sur
face ships were an even more
pressing danger than the rela-
lively remote inter continental
ballistic missile threat. He urged
the agency to come UP as soon
as possible with more evidence"
of readiness to recommend some
kind of shelter program, espe-
cially for coastal cities.
The hearings started on a
stormy note when the subcorn-
mittee recalled that Mr.. Peter
son. on taking charge at CDA in
1858. had "complimented" Con-
gress for disappearing an APP
preparation which former Ad-
ministrator Caldwell requested
for construction of public shell
tiers.
Mr.. Peterson explained he felt
that way before the threat of the
intercontinental missile. He
added that such missile would
be too fast for warning signals
and thus too dangerous for reli-
ance mainly on evacuation.
Because of the ICBM," he
continued. Il now am inclined
to believe a public shelter pro-
gram should have been started.
Any shelter would be better than
none. Survival by evacuation
was the most logical plan until
we were confronted by ICBM.
Nevertheless. we have always
been thinking of shelters. We
merely had put the principal
emphasis on evacuation. I have
nothing to apologize for"
HOlifield Cites Purpose
Chairman Holifield remarked
that. You're taking the wrong
attitude" We said the subcom-
mittee was not criticizing him or
the agency, but merely wanted
to determine whether and how
soon a balanced program might
materialize.
