the admlnIstratlon's views on
1.-THE measure to set up grievance
boards In the various depart
ments and agencies TO hear en-
Iploye grievances. The boards
would operate Independently

management and employe rep
resentatives.
The subcommittee favors
both bills but has hesitated 10
act before getting the admin
llstration's views. II the adj
ADMINISTRATION strongly opposes
such bills. the House uni. prob
ably would be reluctant TO act.
since II is felt there is no use
wasting time on measures that
win be vetoed.
But n the administration
either favors the bills or at
least doesn't oppose them very
strongly. the subcommittee is
READY TO act. Last year the
administration appeared luke
warm toward similar bills. but
did not really take a definite
stand on them. Its present Of
flcial stand on the bills is be-
ing eagerly awaited.

at least half a dozen bills have
been sponsored in Congress this
year to credit Federal en-
ployes with lump sum cash
payments or credit toward re-
tirement purposes for accumu-
lated sick leave upon separa-

eminent, the legislation will
not be acted on this year. Hear
ings will not even be held. even
though hearings on similar
legislation were held last year
by a House Civil Service sub
committee.

felt that a strong enough case
was not made out in favor of
such legislation at last years

It was a far cry from the
ornate surroundings Of France
Of that period. The buildings
were of logs. What is reputed
to have been the largest log
structure in America - La
Grande Maison - was built
there. 1t had two stories and
an attic, was "a feet long and
so feet wide. and boosted is
f1replaces.
Simple Marker
But the settlement was short
lived. After Napoleon's am
nesty decree in 1902, most Of
the residents fastened back to
France. and the wilderness
took over again.
The site near Rummerfield. a
hamlet so miles from Scran-
ton along Route 6. is marked
simply site of Asylum" Neat
Pennsylvania farms cover it.
The only royalty remaining
is the Laurel Blossom Queen.
This year. IA colleges or uni
versities are sending hopefuls
to Stroudsburg to vie for the
title. The festival runs from
June 6 to IL.
Festival officials may not
relaize it. but a revolution with
all the intensity of that which
sent the French refugees here
in 1898 may be brewing in
Stroudsburg. The girls are
being asked to pick one of their
own group as queen.
And they're being asked to do
it between lunch on June g.
when they meet for the first
time-and $3.50 pm. the same
day, when the queen is sched-
uled to be crowned. We suspect
some of the girls already are
studying the Talleyrand brand
of intrigue.
When-and if-the queen is
picked. a busy week of fes-
tivities will begin.
Highlights include the Laurel
Ball on June 6, a water sports
show at Lake Wallenpaupack
June 7, a musical program fea-
turing Fred Waring June Z, a
military display and fashion
show June 8. a festival parade
of floats June 10, and the fare
well dinner June IL.
Such a round of activity in
such a setting is enough to make
royalty. or would-be royalty,
envious.
Poor Marie Antoinette. She
might have been Laurel Blossom
Queen.

Further northwest, out of the

a center of society in the same

named their town, appropriate

Here trod Louis Philippe

hoped it would also be a refuge
for Marie Antoinette and her
son, but she didn't make 1T.
The romance and wealth
surrounding the new settlement
