Stassen Talks
With President
Executives Position
Remains q Mystery

President Eisenhower and his
controversial Secretary for
Peace" had their first personal
conformation today since the
Herter-for-V e-President boom
was launched a week ago, but the
question of the Presidents posi-
ton in the dispute remained a
mystery.

previously unannounced visit
with the President. Departing
from Mr.. EiSenhower's farm for
the return flight to Washington,
Mr. Stassen refused to say
whether he and his boss had even
discussed the bombshell dump
Nixon" proposal put forward by
Mr.. StaSSen at a press confer
ence Monday.
Since Mr.. Stassen suggested the
substitution of Gov. Christian A.
Herter of Massachusetts for Vice
President Nixon on the @. o. p.
ticket, there has been the SEM
lblance of party unity around Mr..
Nixon and not a few howls for
Mr.. Stassen's political scalp.
Won't Answer Questions
After today's meeting Mr.
StasSen refused to answer any
questions regarding the matters
discussed by the President and
him. His silence persisted even
after his return to Washington
shortly after noon.
This left up in the air at least
until Wednesday the burning
question of Mr.. Eisenhower's po-
sition-if any-in the Herter-
Nixon dispute. The President on
that day will hold his first news
conference since his ileitis attack
SO days ago. He is certain to be
quizzed closely on his attitude
toward .the denomination of Mr.
Nixon or the possible substitution
of Gov. Herter or some other
figure Mr.. Eisenhower already
has said he would be delighted
to have Mr.. Nixon on the ticket
and has made no comment on

Signing Set;
Workers,7o,

BY JOSEPH YOUNG

said today President Eisenhower
is ready to sign the civil service
retirement liberalization bill so
that it will become effective
october /.
At the same time. the csc
announced that Federal en-

ployes who would have had to
retire within the next few
months under the mandatory
provision for those 70 years old
will be permitted to remain on
the payroll long enough to share
in the new retirement increases.
In order for the liberalization
bill to become law by october !.
the President must sign either
today or tomorrow, because the
legislation provides an effective
date on the first day of the
month so days after the signing.
Tenure Extended
Since many Federal workers
will reach the mandatory 10
year retirement age during the
next few months. the csc, with
the Presidents approval, has ex.
tended their tenure until Octo-
Der 81.
This means that these en-
ployes on retirement will share
in the 20 to rs per cent general
increase in annuities. Also, they
will be able to designate their
spouseS for eventual Survivorship
annuities at a cost to the retiree
of 2l2 per cent on the first So, 400
of their annual annuity and 10
per cent on any amount above
that. At present they would
have to pay S per cent on the
first $500 of their pension and
10 per cent on any amount above
that in order to qualify their
spouses for a survivorship annu-
lily.
Must Retire at 20
Under the law an employee
reaching the age of 10, with
more than Is years of service,
must retire.
The CSC's action extends until
October 81 the retirement date
of any employee who was due to
retire on July 81. August 81 or
September 80.
Under the retirement law, an
employees annuity does not start
until the month after retire
ment. Thus. an employee would
have to be on the payroll in
October when the new law goes
into effect in order to qualify for
the new benefits.

Opens Hearings

Mr.. Almonds argum n is
opened today's hearing on the
Arlington desegregation suit, one
of five pending throughout the
State.
The suit was filed by the Ma
tional Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People in
behalf of % Arlington school
children and IA parents. The
plaintiffs included two white
families. one of which has asked
to withdraw because of threaten
ing letters and telephone calls
Twenty other Arlington white
children and parents have asked
to join the plea to end segrega-
ton. A motion to include them
in the suit will be heard today by
Judge Bryan.
Today's arguments were the
first desegregation court action
since Federal Judge John Paul
ruled July IL that Charlottes-
vile should make a start toward
desegregation this fall.
Judge Paul's ruling followed
arguments on motions similar to
those scheduled today in the Arl-
ington case. Judge Paul sharply
criticized the State for dragging
its feet on the migration issue.
Since then, Gov. Stanley has

said the State has the problem
of maintaining an efficient pub
lie school system or abandoning
it,"
He declared Federal decisions
do not require integration. He
said a reasonable and prompt
start has been made to effect
an adjustment" in Virginia in
relation to the Supreme Court
decision.
Mr.. Almond told the court,
however. that the start has the
objective of preserving "the eff
ficiency of the public school sys-
tenn in Virginia which is a man

ginia."
Calls Suit Premature
Mr.. Almond asked Federal
Judge Albert v. Bryan to dismiss
The suit filed by the National AS

it is premature.
He said the plaintiffs have not
exhausted administrative reme-
dies under State law.
i He filed a proclamation which
noted that Gov. Stanley had
called a special session of the
General Assembly for August 81
to deal with the segregation
issue.
The attorney general said the
Federal Court did not have the
function of regulating the con-
duct of public school systems. He
said the court could only act
when a State had denied a right
of an individual.
Mr.. Almond told the court that
the Arlington County School
Board never has passed on appli-
cations from any of the plaintiffs
to enter an integrated school.
No Policy for Next Year
He said State schools were
operated under the segregated
system last year as before. be-
cause of pending court action.
No policy. he declared, has been
made for the coming school year

Court does not require SUCH" he
added.
"The Supreme Court decision
recognized the magnitude and
complexity of the problems" said
Mr.. Almond. That's why the
court went into general details"
"Virginia's problem has been
to save the public schools if pos
sible. The customs Embedded in

The attorney general said

of them would have their rights

in the school to which they went
last year.

can be as cheaply purchased in a size
or two larger and, if necessary, be
washed before wearing. The major
shrinkage will be found in the first
washing. In a previous study it was
shown that wool blankets were sue
cessfully dried in the dryers.
Time Saved
"About one-sixth the amount of time
was required to load the dryer and
fold the items when dry as when hang
ing and folding clothes from the line.
Likewise, the steps were reduced from
625 for each 8-pound line dried load to
practically none in the use of the
dryer Only a few bends were neces-
sary to load and unload the dryer, thus
eliminating the carrying, lifting, Stoop-
ing, stretching necessary for hanging
and removing clothes from the line.
Weather Conditions
''The study of dryer drying was COM
pleted within a few days because
weather was no factor and the work
could be done at any time. A period
of Isl days was required to complete
the line drying study since only one
day in four was suitable for out-of-
doors drying. On go days there was
snow, rain or sleet with strong wind
on 81 days. Pollen from trees stained
numerous items. In the home numerous
items would have been rewashed before
wearing because of SCOT deposits.
Cost of Operation
Frequent inquiries concerned the
choice. between gas or electric models
and their cost of operation. The choice
may depend upon availability of gas

all cases. When dried out-of-doors all
items except pillOwcases, diapers and
nylon slips were whittier than new. The
fluorescent dyes in the detergent which
react in sunshine and not in the dryer
may have contributed to this differ
ence.
Differences between dryer and line
drying were so slight that they could
hardly be distinguished by a sensitive
reflection meter.
''These results also exploded the be-
lief of many that gas dryers will yell
low white items.
''Unless clothes are well washed
neither line or dryer drying will per-
form miracles. Curd formed when soap
is used in hard water and retained by
white clothes may oxidize in the sun
causing yellowing of white items. This
problem is eliminated when synthetic
detergentS are used.
Color Retention
''The dryer excelled in color reten-
ton. Although colored clothes were
dried in a partially shaded area dur
ing the spring months all items faded,
particularly those containing red dyes.
In dryer drying all colors, even though
washed so times in hot detergent wa
ter, remained as deep and clear as
new with one exception Unstable blue
dyes turned slightly green in the gas
dryer. Line drying also affected these
cOlors. Stable blue dyes showed less
change in the gas dryer than when
line dried.
Shrinkage Comparison
''Shrinkage was the only factor where
line drying might be considered SUI
perior to dryer drying. Materials
which inherently shrink, such as cot
ton knits, towels, diapers and loosely
woven fabrics, shrank somewhat more
in dryers particularly when completely
dried. If cotton knits were removed
while slightly damp and were stretched
into shape the results were similar to
line drying.
although shrinkage was slightly
higher in garments dryer dried, YET
items dried by this method were softer
generally less wrinkled, and in the
case of diapers, more absorbent thar
were the line dried To offset possible
shrinkage, cotton knits such as T-shirt!
