TUNIS. Tunisia. Feb. %
(AP) Eight politicians ac-
cused of serving the French

years today.
The Tunisian high court of

last Tunisian government un-

fenced to 10 years in prison

suspended sentences.
They we're officially charged
with having rendered aid to a

The case has aroused legal
doubts outside Tunisia since
technically the men were con-
victed under laws which did not
exist at the time they served
in the cabinet of the then
reigning Bey of Tunis.

roadblock to legislation to trs
new $40 million hospital.
DR.. Mordecai johnson, presi-
dent of Howard. said yesterday
that he had been authorized by
the university board of trustees
to assure the Freedmen's en-
ployes some benefits beyond
what the Howard employees now
enjoy. He said it would work
this way:
Where Howard University's
employee benefits are better than
Freedmen's, the Freedmen's
employees viii get the Howard
benefits.
Where Howard benefits are
substantially lower than those
now enjoyed by the Freed
mems employees, the more IA
vorable Freedmen's benefits
will apply to present Freed
mems employees.
Adjustments In Future
Tie two sets of benefits I'LL
tinately will be correlated into
one system for all, with the adj
vice and consent of all en-
ployes concerned.
DR.. johnson said he would
be ready to submit the pro-
posed agreement to Secretary
Flemming of the Department
of Health, Education and We'll
fare this week.
DR.. johnson and Lorimer d.
Milton of Atlanta, Ga, preSi-
dent Of the board of trustees.
said they wot Id have no ebjec-
ton If Mr.. Flemming called in
leaders of the union represent
ing the Freedmen's employees to
ask for their opinion of the
proposed agreement.
The bill for the transfer in
troduced in the last session Of
Congress provided for the en-
ployes to retain several Of their
civil service benefits despite
leaving civil service rolls for
private employment at How
ard. Additionally, the Civil
Service Commission announced
it would extend unemployment
privileges for the Freedmen'S
employees.
Explains Intentions
ut is our desire" said Mr..
Milton, chat the Freedmen's
employees receive every benefit
they now receive, but some
benefits Howard cannot give.
We can promise their present
pay levels, but If all Federal
employees get another pay IN
creases next year, we couldn't
meet it. We invite their Coop
Grafton IN assisting us to help
them retain such Federal bene-
fits as we are not able to give
them"
Both DR.. johnson and Mr.
Milton emphasized that the
proposed transfer Of Freed
mems to Howard had not been
sought by Howard University
but had been made a condition
of getting a needed new hospi-
tai for Freedmen's. The Budget
Bureau. it was pointed out, has
insisted that Freedmen's future
role should be as the teaching
hospital for Towards expanded
medical school.
The question of why Freed
mems should be transferred was
raised Friday when members of
the subcommittee on special ed
ucation of the House Labor and
Education Committee paid a
visit to Freedmen's and met
with members of the Howard
board of trustees.
