Peach Damage
Feared High
Rv the Associated Press

Growers had their fingers
crossed today as they assessed
how much damage was done to
the Carolinas' $26 million peach
crop by a weekend freeze. A
late March freeze wiped out the
crop last year.
Orchardists agreed that dam
age, while apparently consider
able was spotty, with the heav-
iest-producing areas-the Spar
tanburg- -Greenville County Sec
ton in South Carolina and the
North Carolina sandhills section
around Candor - faring better
that others.
1t will take a few days yet to
assess the full damage, but even
in the two richest sections there
were some growers who faced
another black year.
Meanwhile, Georgia also began
assessing another round of frost
and freeze damage to its multi
million dollar crop.
A grower in the North Georgia
belt, Steve Reynolds of Com
merce, said there was an addi-
tional heavy weather kill in that
area.
DR.. F.. E. Johnstone. Univer-
sity of Georgia horticulturist,
said there was little damage
around Athens because. there
just wasn't much left to kill"
He had estimated that SO per
cent of the crop in the univer-
sity orchard was wiped out by
the first-day-of spring freeze

Butler Urges
Action for Party
BY the Associated Press

! Chairman Paul M. Butler Of
the Democratic National Com.
mittee is urging Democratic
leaders in Congress to bolster
our legislative record" for the
sake of the party's candidates ir
the November election.
| An aide to Mr.. Butler said
yesterday the party chairman
had written Senate Democratic
Leader Lyndon B. johnson and
House Speaker Rayburn, both o1
Texas, that action is needed lest
Democratic candidates "be in q
very weak position in the area
of natural resources"
| Mr.. Butler urged passage OF
specific legislation in the field
iof Federal power development
He said his letter, dated March
16. reflected the wishes of the
national committee.
| Mr.. Rayburn said he had not
seen the Butler letter, copies OF
which were sent to some other
Congressional Democrats. Sen
Iator johnson could not be
reached for comment.
Il am fearful" Mr.. Butler
wrote, that our party and its
nominees for President, Vice
President, the Senate and the
House next fall may be in a
very weak position on the area
of natural resources unless some
action is taken to bolster our
Legislative record in this session
of Congress.
50. If we are to be in q
position to go to the people with
a record on conservation of our
natural resources that will gain
votes in one key State and dis
trict after another" he said, "it
is apparent that few important
measures should be considered
| :"
Mr.. Butler said the campaigns
of Senator Lehman of New York
and Democratic House candi-
dates in parts of New York,
Pennsylvania and Ohio would be
aided by passage of a Niagara
power development bill.
And he termed passage of
Hells Canyon Federal power leg
islation vital" to Democratic
prospects in Oregon, Washing
ton, Montana and Idaho. He
specifically named Senator Morse
and Representative Edith Green,
both of Oregon, as likely to ben
lift from such action.

pay rs per cent or a total of
Isl, $50, leaving the employe to
pay Is per cent or $3.50. Together
with the first $500 the employe
paid, the cost to him or her
would be $3.50 out of a total bill
of $4,000.
Here is a sample case of an
employe over IS years of age or
any member of his family. The
basic deductible amounts ($250
surgical. $500 hospital. 500 to
5000 medicaD applies to each
type of expense rather than to
the total of all of them. The
employe under 65. however, has
his room and board expense in
lcluded if he requires hospital
care.
If this employe under IS should
incur a $500 hospital bill and
Ia 5000 surgical bill, he would be
required to pay the basic $500
ideductible hospital cost and the
basic $3.50 surgical cost. This
would amount to total of $3.50.
The Government would pay rs
per cent of the remaining 81. 900
hospital bill, with the employe
paying Is per cent or $3.50.
On the surgical cost, the Gov
Iernment would pay rs per cent
Iof the remaining $3.50 and the
employe would pay Is per cent
or $3.50. Therefore, the total
cost of the $2.150 hospital and
surgical expenses to the employe
would be $1,0S7.50

Involves Marine Workers
The case, Parker vxs. Lester
involves maritime workers. who
although not Government en-
ployes, could be barred from jobs
by the Coast Guard under its
port security program.
The courts opinion said, '"The
(seamen's) liberty to follow their
chosen employment is no doubt
a right more cleayly entitled to
constitutional protection than
the right of a Government en-
ploye to obtain or retain his
job"
The opinion further said that
If the seamen could not confront
their accusers, they might not
know the charges against them
sufficiently to make a defense.
The Government previously
has contended that a Govern
ment job is "a privilege. not a
right" and that conformation by
unnamed accusers would break
down its system of informers.
Handicaps Preferable
The court also said it assumed
that, as a result of its decision
investigative agencies would be
deprived of "a certain kind of
information and that some tale
bearers would be deferred. But
it added, 1T is unbelievable that
the result will prevent able Off
cials from procuring proof"
But surely it is better" the
judges went on, that these
agencies suffer from handicap
than that the citizens of a free
dom loving country shall be de-
MED that which has always been
considered their birthright.
Indeed. it may well be that
In the long run nothing but
beneficial results will come from
a lessening of such tale-bearing
1t is a matter of public record
that the somewhat comparable
security risk program directed
at Government employees has
been used to victimize perfectly
innocent men.
THE objective Of perpetuating
a doubtful system of secret in
formers likely to bear upon the
innocent as we'll as upon the
guilty-cannot justify an aban-
donment here of the ancient
standards of due process. :"

Kefauver, speaking on an NBC-

Jobs to 285. the House Civi

This means that there woule

for use under the general 1,20t

Representative Gross, Republi.

committee should have adopted
a provision freezing the present
number of super-grade jobs fol
other departments and agencies
| When the measure comes uI
for House action within the neXt
few weeks, Mr.. Gross probably
will offer an amendment to pre-
vent other bureaus from getting
these 236 super-grade jobs. The
outcome will decide whether
these super-grade jobs will be

tend to monopoly in the steel wool
field.
The complaint described Will

country.
The ETC said Brillo also stands
to improve its position because of
the location of the Williams plant
in Ohio. II said this means Brillo

its Brooklyn plant
