THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
White House Opposes
Retirement Credit Bill
By JOSEPH YOUNG

The administration has report Congress opposing
the bill to give Federal employees credit retirement
their unused sick leave and accumulated annual leave
The report sent to the House Civil Service Committee
which recently up hearings on the bill
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-07-05


However, no hearing date has
been set.
The major provision in the
bill sponsored by Representative
Cretella, Republican of COnnec-
ticut, would give Federal en-
ployes on retirement the right to
add their unused sick leave to
their total service for annuity
computation purposes. This
would increase the amount OF
their annuities.
However, the employees, to get
credit for their unused sick
leave. would have to pay 61a per
cent Of whatever amount in sal
airy the unused sick leave rep
PRESENTED.
The bill also would give en-
Iployes the option Of using their
accumulated annual leave total
for retirement purposes. provided
they paid Ga per cent on that
amount. Or the employees could
receive cash for the accumulated
annual leave as they do now.
Mr.. Cretella feels his bill ac-
tually would save the Govern
ment money. since it would en-
courage employees to use their
sick leave only when they are
actually too i'll to work. The ad-
ministrs::on, however, contends
such a plan would not be feas-
ible.

Shor-BiIIingsIey Row
Affects Libel Doctrine

that libel does not apply to ad lib
remarks, although ad lib COM
ments which are false may be
attacked as slander-a legal re-
straint on spoken words. One
notable particular case in point
was brought against Walter
Winchell. Some years ago Mr..
Winchell was sued for an alleged
defamatory radio statement, but
the court decided that the con-
tested remark could be libelous
only if it had come from a pre-
pared script. IF ad libbed. it
could not be libelous.
New Idea introduced
Justice Hecht based his deci-
sion in the current controversy
on the assumption that .TV pro-
grams today have such broad
circulation that comments made
on them may have a strong effect.
The old basis for limiting libel
to written words, he said. was
because such words normally had
wider circulation and could thus
prove harmful; but that basis,
he added, must now be expanded
to include comment made on
modern TV and radio programs.
If this view is widely followed

Fire Follows
Racial Protest

ROSSVILLE, Ga, Jan. 8 (P.
"A mysterious fire late last
night destroyed a small building
on the Dry Valley farm of John
Crane several hours after a group
of more than 200 white persons
protested his plan to house a
Negro farm worker on it.
MIR. Crane. who operates a
garage in this Northeast Georgia
town. said the building burned
despite his promise to the group
that he would "go along" with
its wishes not to let the Negro
live on the l0-acre farm which
he occupied about a week ago.
The Chattanooga Times said
the crowd arrived in front of Mr..
Cranes house both on foot and
in about 30 automobiles. At
least two women were seen.
The 40-minute talk with Mr..
Crane, the Times said, was a
followup to an ultimatum de-
livered to him Saturday night.
Mr.. Crane said five men, whom
he did not identify, acted as
spokesman for the group. Most
OF the group stayed on the road
In front Of the farm house.
After the talk. the Times said,
one of the spokesman told the
crowd the Negro would work
on the farm, but leave after his
chores were finished.
I'VE have given our word that
we won't cause him (Mr. Crane)

continued, land we don't want 1t

persed.
