Even those who speak scorn-

have to admit that it is still a
problem to keep a date or a

or to confer with someone in
an agency there.
Sick Leave Down
Perhaps "reconciled" is the
best way to describe the aver
age Acc employe-but not his
boss.
For instance, they will admit
a worker must take halliday

But an employe must be really
sick to ask to leave early-he
has too far to go.
Sick leave is down, they say,

AS a matter Of fact, employ
ment at the agency is more
stable than it was before. Re-
cruitment is no harder and
there's less turnover.
They say the reason is that

With the National Bureau of

he added.
Shortly after the move was
first made, for instance, a sur
vey showed that about 40 per
cent Of the 1900 Acc head
quarters employees had to drive
so minutes or more to reach
the 110-acre site of the Ger
mantown headquarters. Only
IL per cent were within 80 min
utes' driving time of the new
building.
Shuttle Bus Service
In contrast, the Acc esti-
mates that about 70 per cent
Of the employees now live within
80 minutes driving time in con-
trast to the situation in Oc-
tober, 1858. when only 81 per
cent of Acc employees lived in
Montgomery County. about 10
per cent now live in the county.
This, of course, still doesn't
solve the problem of getting
Evening star., 1960-08-29

into town for conferences with
other Government agencies.
The Acc has a shuttle bus
service leaving every hour from
the Germantown site and from
the small downtown office at
l7l7 H street NV. An average
OF l8 people ride each bus. But
it takes about so minutes to
go into town. Thus an ln-town
conference more often than not
becomes a Whole-afternoon af-
fair.
Acc officials, however, point
out that this time lost is more
than offset by the fact that all
headquarters personnel are
under one roof. They recall the
days before the move when the
headquarters was split up
among three widely separated
buildings.

Parties to Stage
Joint Street Drive
For Vote Funds

Forgetting their animosities
for two days. the Districts
Democrats and Republicans
will get together next month
in a cooperative drive aimed
at collecting campaign funds
from the man on the street.
To be known as Operation
Street Corner" team workers
from both parties will set UP
card tables at Is street corners
in the downtown area on Sep
tember 8 and 10. and ask for
contributions from passersby.
To keep a running total from
all IS points, team leaders will
man special booths at Con-
necticut avenue and K streets
NV. where the contributions
will be shown on two "ther-
mometerS," each party hoping
to reach the $1,000 mark first.
The operation, which some
one-no doubt-will see as in
dicating the winner of the
presidential race in November,
is part of an area-wide drive
to make the man on the
street" feel like he is part of
the campaign.
Similar drives will get under
way next month in nearby
Maryland and Virginia. In
general, the Democrats in those
areas will collect Dollars for
Democrats" from September 9
through 10. The Republicans
will conduct "Neighbor- to-
Neighbor" drives later in the
month.
