Jensen 10 Push

Would Limit Hiring

By the Associated Press

Representative Jensen. -,

would ask Congress to impose
the Jensen rider" on every ap-
preparation bill next year in a
move to cut Government per-
sonnel by 10 per cent.
The Jensen rider" first was
approved by Congress in 1852
and again in 1883. 1t limited
the power of any agency Of the
Government to MI vacancies
until personnel in the depart
ment fell below 90 per cent of
normal.
Strong support Predicted
The 1882 and 1883 provisions
allowed the agencies to I'LL one
out of every four vacancies.
Mr.. Jensen's new proposal
would allow one out Of every

Jensen said in an interview.
I'VE can save upwards of $500
million in payroll and related
costs alone without hurting
anything. Nobody gets fired.
because my rider applies only
to vacancies"
Mr.. Jensen, a member of the

he had assurances of strong
support for his proposal.

looks like We must, we will

Mr.. Jensen also predicted
that Congress will not vote to

Cairo Conference
Continues General
Anti-West Line

CAIRO. Dec. 2s H1.--Dele-
gates TO the African-Asian con-
ference went to work today on
q resolution condemning nu-
clear tests and foreign military
bases and calling for general
disarmament.
Japan's Kaoru Yasui, head
of the disarmament commit
tee. indicated the resolution
will follow the conferences
general anti-Western line.
Communists and sympa- :
thizers are playing leading roles
in the deliberations Of more
than 400 delegates from ~
nations and colonies. The
delegates do not ofiicially rep
resent their governments.
Mr.. Yasui said all three
nuclear powers-the United
States. Britain and the Soviet
Union-will be mentioned in
the appeal for an end TO bomb
tests.
A-BOmb Exports Hit
But he said he regarded the
tests OF the United States and
Britain as more dangerous to
Japan than those of the Soviet
Union. The Americans and
British use the Pacific for
most OF their explosions. he
noted. while the Russians use
their own country.
I'VE think the menace OF nu-
clear weapons Is q new type
Of imperialism and colonialism. :"
Mr.. Yasui sand.
The delegate. who is director
general Of the Japan Council
Against Atomic and Hydrogen
Bombs. added that he expects
the resolution TO urge that no
nuclear weapons be exported.
The United States and some
of its NATO allies are working
on plans to send nuclear
missiles 70 Europe.
Mr.. Yasui said the resolution
will oppose establishment of
nuelear bases In all countries
including Communist Poland
and Hungary.
Committees Go 10 Work
The committee named to
draft the resolution includes
delegates from Japan. the So
Wet Union. Egypt.-India and
Iraq.
The work Of the week -long
conference, which opened
Thursday, was concentrated
today in committees.
In the Economic Committee
an Egyptian proposal for an
African-Asian common market
was called impractical by q
delegate from Thailand.
The delegate said the exist
ence Of the anti Communist
Southeast Asia Treaty Organ
ization and some nations re-
fusal to recognize Communist
China stand in the way of
realizing the plan.
Egypt recommended the
common market as an answer
to the planned European COM
mon market.
Thanks for Russia
Some delegations were said
to be considering q special
resolution thanking Russia for
aid sent in the past to African
and Asian countries. Russian
delegates offered more aid
yesterday.
The Soviet big brother"
offer Of economic aid to all
Asians and Africans was well
received yesterday by the dele
gates at the nongovernmental
conference which is packed
with supporters Of Communist
policies.
Many OF those voicing loud
praise for the offer are exiles
or fugitives from areas that
receive United States economic
aid. Some Of the leftists here
are frowned on by home gov
that try to stay ON
cially disconnected from Com
propaganda lines.

ity. Harley Smith homered with

star in the game. He also tripled
earlier to gather much attention
in the Tigers ranks. Rlcucci had
a double to help his winning
cause.

New Position
Created to Head
Wider Program

The athletic program of the rec
reation department has grown to
a point where a year-round pro-
gram is in effect. Obviously the
department has to cope with far
more than just a summer pro-
gram.
Growing right along with the
program is the "rec" departments
staff. A new position has been
created, supervisor of athletics.
Filling the new spot is William L.
Kyle.
The new supervisor has been a
physical education teacher at
Eastern Junior high school for
two years. He coached the foot
ball and basketball teams at the
junior high as well as assisting
in several other sports last year.
The active coach left the PHYSICAL
education career to enter the in
surance business. His speedy re-
turn to the athletics department
seems to be evident of his liking
for the field.
Maryland Graduate
Bill is graduate of the Univer.
sity of Maryland and a Korean
veteran. He served three years in
the Marine Corps as an infantry
platoon leader. He left the service
with the rank of first lieutenant.
The athletic supervisor is as
native to the area as the ground
we walk on in the county. He
was born in Washington, 1929, but
quickly moved to Takoma.
The 27-year-old athletic director
is still single and lives with his
parents in Takoma. He was grad
uated from Montgomery Blair
High Schol in 1947. Blair remem-
bers him as a three-letter man in
football, basketball and track. He
played halfback on the football
squad In single wing formation.
The three-letter athlete claims
that today most schools use their
own version of the "T'' formation.
His brother, Joe M. Kyle, is an
attorney in Rockville. Through
his brother, Bill found his new
job. His brother, knowing that
Bill wanted to return to the ath-
letic field, kept his eye open for
openings. The county sent circu-
lars out announcing the new po-
sition and brother Joe sent It on
to bill. Bills qualifications were
determined superior and he was
hired.
Misses Coaching

missed the chance to direct a
group of boys in such things as

Rockville Rallies in 9th Inning
To Defeat Sandy Spring. mo
Benjamin Hits Single.
Scores Winning Run

Rockville Pee Jay Nee
squeezed by Sandy Spring
Sunday as Charlie Benjamin
came to bat in the ninth to
single in two runs, winning
the ball game lilo.
Both teams are in the
County unlimited baseball
league. The lead changed
hands several times in the g.
inning game. Charlie Pugh
pitched the win while Gerald
Bailey took the loss for Sandy
Spring.
Sandy Spring took an early
lead as they scored four runs in
the first inning. A series of
singles by Pete Johnson, Sid
Bailey, Eddy Johnson, and Alfred
Tolson brought in the four runs.
Rockville failed to avenge the out
burst in their half of the inning,
and Sandy Spring went on in the
second inning to score another
run on singles by Sid Bailey and
Pete Johnson.
Rockville Trails
Trailing so, the Rockville nine
came to bat in the bottom of the
third to score four runs. Dick
Britton's lead-off single in the
third proved to be the match that
spanked the rest of the pack. Ben
jamin got to first on an error and
Jim Barrack followed with sin
gle, knocking in two runs. Jack
Freeburger clouted a sound dou-
BILE to bring in the other two
runs.
There was no action on either
side in the fourth inning and the
score remained 81. The fifth
inning told a much different story
than the proceeding one. Rock
vile held their opponents score
less in the fifth but smashed back
at Sandy Spring in their half of
the inning to score four runs and
take the lead, 8.5. Benjamin
ignited the rally with a solid sim
gle and Wally Ryland added the
explosives with triple to take
the lead for Rockville for the
first time in the game as he scor-
ed on single by Charlie Pugh.
Don Winovich and Jack Freebur-
ger followed with singles Rock
vile scored four runs in this out
burst TO lead 8-5.
