|employe leaders strongly de-
Tended the 30-year optional re-
|tirement provision in the John.
Iston bill. They disputed the adj
ministration's contention that
this provision would cost .$5l
million a year in addition to
costing the Government the
services of some of its best en-
|ployes who, it was commended
would take advantage of the pro-
vision to retire and obtain Jobs
in industry.
The employe leaders said the
|$51 million estimate was based
on the assumption that all Fed
|eral workers who achieve 80
years of service would retire
They pointed out that most en-
|ployes couldn't afford an annuity
at an early age and would have
to keep on working. And they
declared only a few would be
lucky enough to get adequate
paying industry jobs to supple
ment their pensions to make II
worth their while to retire.
They said the 30-year optional
retirement feature was beine
sought as insurance" so that
employees who are in i'll health
or who face the loss of Jobs
through automation or economy
drives. would have the privilege
of retiring after 80 years serv-
ice.
Among employe leaders who
testified yesterday were James
Campbell. president of the

ment Employees; Paul A. Nagle

Dulles Against Aid Cut
For Tito; Trip Studied

Secretary of State Dulles said
today the implications of the
visit Of Marshal Josip Tito OF
Yugoslavia to Moscow are re
ceiving very close study by this
Government"
The Secretary said no final
assessment has been reached yet
on the meaning of the visit.
Pending this, Mr.. Dulles urged
against any congressional action,
such as cutting of foreign aid
for Yugoslavia.
Nothing conclusively shows
that Tito has gone back to any
role of subservience," Mr.. Dulles
said.
He added that despite efforts
made by the marshals Soviet
hosts to give that impression,
there is no evidence so far that
Marshal Tito has give up his
independent role.
On other subjects Mr.. Dulles
expressed these views:
East-West Exchanges-There

The District budget Office, with

The 11-member staff of the

However, the same office
under instructions by the Dis

other agencies of the District

Above all, the departments
must scale their budget requests
to the amount of revenue ex-

The first night of inspection of
racers for the Soap Box Derby
here Saturday drew about IS
anxious boys to the National
Guard Armory last night.
First in line at o'clock was
l4-year-old Bruce Vorhauer of
Falls Church. A blond. well
tanned youth, Bruce started
building his racer last April,
using airplane plywood for his
racers body and driving with an
airplane steering wheel.
With his racer, Bruce weighed
irl--the final test last night-at
GAG pounds, just four pounds
under the limit.
II wouldn't have been able to
build this racer if it weren't for
The STAR" said Bruce, Star
carrier boy. He used earnings
from his paper route to buy
equipment for his racer.
The first boy who failed to
pass the weight test was Meredith
Zeigler. 10, of Galesville. Md. His
racer was built of lumber washed
up on the shore of West River
after Hurricane Hazel.
Starts ChOpping &
Rather than run around the
armory until he lost his three
excess pounds, Meredith started
chopping wood from his racer to
get down to the 250-pound limit.
"Gee-it'S the same racer as
last year-Ive gained weight, !"
murmured 14-year-old Charles
(Tom) Dudley of Seat Pleasant.
Md. He had six pounds to lose.
Boys whose racers passed in
spection by a small army Of
American Legion examiners col
lected their crash helmets and
T-shirts. then came back to
watch their friends.
Inspectors tested cells,
brakes. steering gear and road
clearance. AS the evening pro-
crossed. the banging of ham
mers, the whine of hacksaws
and anxious consultations by
fathers and sons showed that
not all the recers were passing
inspection right away.
Last Chance Tonight
Tonight is the last chance of
boys with racers in the derby
Saturday to get them inspected.
Inspection starts at z o'clock in
the basement Of the National
Guard Armory.
Racers that fail to pass can
come back for a second try on
Friday. But preliminary inspec-
tons must be finished tonight.
Jimmy Buckley, IL, Of Bowie,
Md, said he started designing
his Soap Box Derby entry for
this year right after the derby
last year.
His rocket-type racer is named
zone for the Road" 1t has a
solid nose made from an old
table pedestal. He has been
