Id like to congratulate the Maple
Lawn Nursing Home in Blackstone,
Va. for the splendid service they
are offering to the residents OF
Southside Virginia.

the form Of lucrative cost
plus contracts to industry. A
substantial number of Federal
employs have already lost their
Jobs as a result of this con-
tracing g-out program.
In q bulletin over the sigma
ture Of Budget Director Maui
rice Stans, Federal departments
and agencies have been ordered
to submit reports to the Budget
Bureaus "evaluating" all COM
mercial-industrial facilities un-
der their control.
Unless these facilities qualify
under the exceptions" listed.
agencies are expected to dis
continue these activities as
promptly as possible.
Policy Statement
The bulletin states the gen.
eral policy OF the admlnlStra-
tion as follows:
"The Federal Government
will not start or carry on any
commercial industrial activity
to provide a service or product
for its own use If such product
or service can be procured from
private enterprises through
ordinary business channels.
Because the private enter
prise system is basic to the
American economy. the general
policy establishes a presump-
tion in favor of Government
procurement from commercial
sources" the bulletin declares.
In specific situations, certain
factors" may make it necessary
for a Government agency to
produce goods or services, the
Budget Bureau noted. However,
it stressed that "in these situa-
tions, the burden of proof lies
on the agency which deter
mines that an exception to the
general policy is required"
The Budget Bureau direc-
Tive continued: "a finding must
be made that there are COM
eelling reasons for Government
provision of a product or serv-
ice before an exception is
authorized"
Higher Costs a Factor
One of the compelling rea-
sons" which would authorize the
exception and permit an exist
ing activity to continue func-
tioning is what the bulletin
calls "disproportionately higher
costs"
The Budget Bureau explains
1t thusly: Continuation of
Government operation on the
ground that procure m n I
through commercial sources
would involve higher costs may
be justified only if the costs
are analyzed on a comparable
basis and the differences are
found to be substantial and
disproportionately large"
The Budget Bureau added,
The admissibility OF large and
disproportionate higher costs as
a possible compelling reason
for continued Government op-
Grafton does not alter the gen.
eral policy which establishes a
presumption in favor Of Gov
ernment procurement m

Medical Cuts
Are Restored
ByPentugon
BY the Associated Press

Certain medical care benefits
for military dependents that
were eliminated for economy
reasons more than a year ago
are being restored.
Effective January /, the De-
fenSe Department said yester-
day, families Of military men
will again receive medical
treatment for tonsilitis, hernia
and other cases that are not
strictly emergency but which
require prompt attention.
Also restored will be the pro-
visions for 81 days of care for
acute emotional disorders and
emergency outpatient care for
acute injuries or accidents
which do not require hospital
ization.
The Pentagon also reinstated
the allowance of $75 for certain
diagnostic tests. such as X-rays,
if such tests eventually lead to
disqualification.
Similarly restored is the $50
allowance for some procedures
following disqualification, such
as blood tranSfusions for leuke-
mia patients.
Under the medical care pro-
gram, started in December,
1856, the families of military
personnel are entitled to a wide
range of medical treatment at
military facilities, where avail
able, or by civilian hospitals
and doctors at areas distant
from regular military centers.

GENEVA, Nov. 25 (AP). -
Top nuclear weapon specialists
from the United States, Britain
and the Soviet Union today be-
gan a new scientific study of
methods to detect underground
nuclear tests.
The scientists will revise the
18-month-old control system
plan which forms the technical
basis of the nuclear test ban
treaty talks.
The United States had sub
mitted a report describing the
original detection system as
out-of- f-date and unable to pro-
vide a safeguard against secret
test.
The Soviet Union finally
agreed to the new scientific
study yesterday, after dismiss
ing the United States report
for months as a Western STALL
ing device to prevent a test ban
treaty. The two Western powers
had warned the Soviet Union
they were unwilling to proceed
with the treaty negotiations
unless the detection system was
brought up to date.

Antarctic Pact
Signing Is Set

Twelve nations-the Soviet
Union and the United States
included-will sign a historic
treaty here Friday demilitariz-
ing the Antarctic continent and
freezing all nations claims and
rights there.
Agreement was reached yes
terday on the 14-article treaty
hammered out in a six-week
meeting at the State Depart
ment.
The Soviet Union took the
last two tricks" in yesterdays
meeting when compromises on
two unsettled articles were
reached, officials said.
Providing for accession of
other nations to the treaty,
prohibition of peaceful nuclear
explosions and disposal of
radioactive wastes were the
problems which had held up
the conference for the last two
weeks. One article bans peace
full nuclear explosions and the
dumping of radioactive waste
from outside the area pending
international arrangements.
While the Soviet Union
agreed to a formula for ac-
ceSsion under which Red China
would be banned from partici-
pating in the treaty, the Rus
sian delegate succeeded in
getting the Western nations
to drop their formula which
would have permitted West
Germany and South Korea to
join the treaty.
Membership Limited
The accession article now
provides that only United Ma
tions members with substantial
operations in Antarctica can
acceed to the treaty. Any
other nation can join only if
there is unanimous consent of
the treaty powers.
Earlier the Soviet Union
suggested that all members of
the U. N. and whatever other
powers the U. N. General As
sembly should approve be per-
mitted to Join the treaty.
The Soviet Union also got
the article prohibiting peace
full nuclear explosions in Ant
arctica, which is much closer
to an absolute ban than the
United States had advocated.
Looks to Test Talks
The article banning peaceful
nuclear detonations pending
international regulation ap-
parently looks to the Geneva
test suspension negotiations fol

Activities which are not
authorized as an exception to
the general policy because of
a compelling reason should be
discontinued as soon as reas-
onably possible. Adequate
notice should be given to the
community and the employees
in advance of continuance or
curtailment, and each agency
should assist employees in flnd-
ing other employment.
Where statutory changes

necessary to permit diScontin-
uance or curtailment, tn e
agency head should seek such
changes promptly, submitting
drafts Of legislation or appro-
priation language, as may be
required, to the Bureau of the
Budget in the usual manner"

the Budget Bureau directive,
William Ryan, president of
District Lodge A, the Federal
employe branch of the Inter-
national Association of Ma
chinists, declared in an edi-
torial in the lodges publi-
cation:
In other words, the admin
istration is saying this: For
purposes of policy, there should
be no commercial-industrial
activity in the Federal Govern
ment. All such existing activi-
ties are, in effect, illegitimate.
They must be stamped out.
However, in some rare cases,
private business cannot make
enough profit from Govern
ment work. In that case, the
Government can keep it. If
there are laws that stand in
the way Of this shutdown pol
icy, every effort will be made
by the administration to get
Congress to legalize the sell-out
to pro1teerS."
