that another Senator Che did not
name him) asked that the bill be
put over. The bills sponsors are
hopeful it can be cleared the
next time the consent calendar i:
called.
The measure would make fu-
ture pay raises for Federal blue
collar workers retroactive to &c
days after the start of a wage
survey. Under the present sys-
tenn, the pay increase does not
take effect until after the wage
boards recommendation has
been approved by the head of 9
department or agency.
This often takes from four Il
six months or even longer from
the start Of the original wage
survey.
MISUNDERSTANDING, a.
the House Civil Service Com
mittee met and approved today q
postal pay raise bill, these facts
emerge:
1 /. Any postal and/or classified
pay raise approved by Congress
without approval Of a postal
rate increase will most certainly
be vetoed by President Eisen-
hover.
2. The President also is virtu-
ally certain to veto any pay bill
that provides a fiat increase in
stead of a percentage kind. This
lis because the administration i:
opposed strongly to upsettinl
the present alignment between
pay grades.
;. 8. Any pay raise Of more thar
modest proportion faces a Pres
Iidential veto.
I 4. Even If a postal rate in
crease is attached to a pay raise
bill. there is a distinct possibility
that the President will veto such
legislation. But at least there II

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
BY WILLIAM MORRIS

Problems bearing on such
critical matters as the loss OF
a job seldom come across my
desk. Generally they fall to
career guidance columnists
But today we have q case to
consider in which q young
mans livelihood may have been
Staked upon the choice Of q
single word.
The incident he describes
took place in the st. Louis
office Of q Federal agency. u
was employed in one Of the
agencies which deals in records
Of former soldiers Of World
War H." he writes. "A case
came TO my desk asking for
information regarding the mar
Iital status of a former soldier
The records showed that he
was married but not living with
his wife at the time of induc-
ton. He was divorced and re-
married while in service. His
separation record showed that
he was married again at time
Of discharge.
ION the form furnished by
the agency requesting the in
formation I noted: Separation
record shows former soldier to
be married--maiden name OF
wife and place and date OF
marriage not shown
I'm due course this case
came to one OF my superiors
for review. She insisted that
to be married meant that the
marriage was to take place in
the future. l thought the
phrase meant TO show his mar
ital status at the time OF his
separation from the service
That, along with a few other
things OF like nature, resulted
in my being dismissed with
scant chance Of ever regaining
my job"
Naturally I cannot pass on
the "other things Of a like
nature" my correspondent re-
fers to. but II his use Of ITO be-
was a decisive factor in the de-
cision to end his employment
a distinct injustice has been
done. The rule governing the
present infinitive reads. THE
present infinitive indicates ac-
ton occurring at the same time
as that Of the main verb or in
a time future to that Of the
main verb" Certainly the
meaning is clear that the man
was married at the same time
that the separation record was
made.
The defense rests-but hopes
that the lad gets his Job back

Opening lead: Diamond ten.
First he reviewed the bidding.
HIS opponents reached their f.
nal contract in q rather hating
fashion. On the second round
the optimistic Miss Brash was
able, to make only a minimum
rebid Of two hearts. Her partner
cd,lld have passed that bid, SO
itswas obvious that she was not
too anxious to get to a game.
Now Mrs. Keen had only
enough to go to three hearts
which also could have been
passed and which OILY sug-
gested q game contract. It
sounded like there was nothing
much in the way Of extra values
I'M either of the North-South
hands.
Inference No. 2 was that Mr.
Abel held some high cards. This
was. based on the reasoning
that if Mr.. Abel held a near
bust. then surely the opponents
would either have bid six or at
least made some kind of q
move toward a slam.
Mr.. Dale knew that Miss
Brash was in for a nasty sur.
prise in the trump suit. Most
probably she was in a contract
which would be successful only
on a favorable distribution of
the defenders cards. And she
was not going to get that good
break.
There was one more consid-
eration-the humanics angle.

If Mr.. Meek had been in the

The Big l2-to-A Pound Question
Is: How Do You Carve THE Turkey?

Atlantic City-For the great,
indoor. do-it-yourself game
played annually throughout
America on Thanksgiving Day
a game known as Carving THE
Turkey-you need a relaxed ap-
proach and a sharp knife. And
naturally your opponent, THE
Turkey.
With these essentials, the rest
is easy, the rules are few and
the execution is simple. accord
ing to Michael Purri, a chef and
the sauce cook of Chalfonte-
Haddon Hall, Atlantic City re-
sort hotel. Purri for the last
three years has won the turkey
carving championship in Hotel
Skills Day against competitors
from all beach-front hotels.
Here are Purri's rules:
Place the turkey so that the
legs are at your right-if you
are right-handed. Sink the
fork into the bird just be-
hind the breast. Sever the
leg and thigh from the body
with your knife, then pull
the leg free. If necessary cut
the joint.
Leave the wing on. Then cut
slices off the breast until you
reach the wing joint, then
remove by working the knife
through the joint.
On a separate platter hold
the drumstick firmly and cut
through the joint to separate
It from the thigh. Cut long
slices from the thigh and
slice sections from the drum
stick.
For the choicest morSel of the
turkey, flip the bird on his side
and remove the deleetable pad of
meat in the middle of the back
known as the "oyster."
