for shortage-category jobs, the
Civil Service Commission has
approved nine additional types
of positions for which Federal
agencies may pay travel and
household moving costs Of new

dental officer, dietitian, occu-
pational therapist, psychology
positions, medical technologist,

oJ tHe AooOCidIeu FIcSh
A bill to create 73 Federal
judgeships has been sent to
President Kennedy for his sig
nature.
Congress passed the measure
yesterday by voice votes.
With 10 vacancies already
existing. Representative McCul-
loch, Republican of Ohio, said
the bill would give Mr.. Ken
nedy 90 appointments to fill
the most a President ever
had at one time.
Representative Celler, Dem
ocrat of N. Y, chairman of the
House Judiciary Committee,
said the judgeships should not
be handed out as prizes to de-
serving Democrats, but he
added:
Being a realist, candor i'm
pels me to say that being a
Democrat will not hurt ones
chances for appointment"
Republicans protested. that
73 judgeships-10 for circuit
court, 63 for district court
were too many. They argued
that the Democratic-controlled
Congress had refused to give
former President Eisenhower
any new court posts to fill and
that the number was inflated
to provide political plumS for
Democrats.
Mr.. Kennedy urged enact
ment Of the measure to help
relieve crowded Federal court
dockets.
Under provisions of the COM
promise bill, two new judges
would be added to the 4th Cir
cult covering Maryland, West
Virginia, Virginia. North Caro-
lima and South Carolina.
Two new district judgeships
would be created for Maryland.

that automation was putting
1.8 million employees out of
work each year throughout the
country. A goodly portion of
these workers are Federal en-
ployes. And the use Of auto
matte data processing and
other equipment continues to
increase.
To meet the problems arising
from automation, the Civil
Service Commission is meet
ing with Government person.
mel officials next week to
discuss the issuance of new
regulations to help displaced
employees find other jobs in
their agencies or other Gov
ernment agencies. q.
Some Of the steps that prob
ably will be taken are the waiv-
ing of qualifications in agency
jobs that displaced employees
can otherwise fill. In other
words, employees who lost their
jobs through automation often
cannot now be placed in other
job vacancies in their agency
because they do not meet the
formal qualifications Of the DO.
Sition.
A waiver of qualifications
would permit employees to be
assigned to other jobs even
though they lack the formal
qualifications. The jobs would
be those in which they could
reasonably be expected to per-
form satisfactory work.
Also, authority for temporary
promotions, greater flexibility
in reassigning employees to vari-
GUS jobs during the conversion
to automation, etc., is expected
to be considered by the csc.
The suggestions for the new
rules came from Albert Schaf-
fer. personnel director Of In
ternal Revenue Service, which
is converting to large-Scale use
of automation. James O'Brien,
personnel director Of Health,
Education and Welfare, also in
dorsed the changes. csc off,
cials indicated they will be
agreeable to changing present
rules to aid employees.
Agencies, of course, will con-
tinue plans for training pro-
grams Of their own to refrain
displaced employees for automa-
tion-type jobs as well as other
jobs in the agencies. But they
need more flexible civil service
rules on finding jobs for all
displaced employees.
EXECUTIVE ORDER-In a
speech before the Washington
lodges Of the American Fedora
ton of Government Employees
yesterday, CSC Chairman John
Macy indicated that the ex-
pected presidential executive
order on labor management in
Government would not contain
uniform Government-wide rules
for bargaining between en-
ploye unions and agencies.
The Government is much too
big and complex for one set of
rules to apply to all agencies.
Mr.. Macy said. He cited the
fact that collective bargaining
with unions already exists at
iva, while some Federal
agencies have no unions Or
ganiZed in their bureaus.
Rather, Mr.. Macy indicated
that a general policy in which
agencies would be required to
deal with employe unions would
be the best type Of executive
order, without any specific
rules and regulations such as
compulsory boards Of arbitra-
ton, boards of grievance ap-
pealS. etc.
Agencies will have to deal

 The story was told 20O0 years ago, but the situation described is time- less. It could and does occur in mod- ern times.
 "A servant owed his master a large sum. The master to settle accounts decided to sell the servant, his wife and children. The servant begged his ma ster to change his mind. Moved wi tn compassion the master forgave the debt. A short time later the servant met a fel1ow-servant who owed him little money. He demanded immediate payment when the man begged for time he had him thrown in jail.
 Sixteen hundred years later Shakes speare saw the same situation recurring in his era. He wrote about the credit or who sued in court to collect a pound of flesh in payment of a debt. In pleading the case the debtor's lawyer reminded the court that "the quality of mercy. ...is twice blest; it blesses him who gives and him who takes."

The fact Is that such un-

Don't Insult Us!

A number Of lawmakers and

know better are again insult
ing you and me-insulting you
by implying that you haven't
the brains to understand
what's going on in your own
economy, and me by implying
that I am not 0 sufficiently

President Kennedy's recent
comments may talk the coun-
try into q recession.
The best way to treat the

ing the risk Of soaring people
who have money to buy out

View Is Assailed
"Fiddlesticks" I've said be-
fore. and "fiddlesticks!" I say
again. This viewpoint is not
only an insult to your intelli-
gence and inherent common
sense. 1t also defies all au-
thoritative evidence accumu-
lated over q generation on how
you respond to news.
What's more, 1t openly adj
vocates sabotage Of the basic,
sacred rules Of honest report
ing in q free society.
The fact is that the economy
has been in a recession since
the spring Of 1960-the fourth
business downturn Of post
World War II. Dare anyone
seriously suggest that Amer
ica's unemployed wouldn't
know this unless Mr.. Kennedy
told him so? Or that q bust

wouldn't know it was in a

The fact Is, however, that
judging by accepted yardsticks,
so far this recession has been
among the mildest Of modern
times.

The fact is that a recession
which hasn't snowballed after
II months is not likely to

Rosecroft Raceway distributes
the major part of its 100000
in purse money this week when
it opens six days of Grand
Circuit racing tonight and
winds up Saturday night with
the finals of the William E.
Miller Memorial Pace.
The action starts tonight
with three qualifying divisions
of the Miller. Twenty 3-year-
old PAGERS will attempt to quail
fly for the final, but the race
lost one of its top nominees
last week when Ed Schaefer's
Lumber Dream pulled up lame
and had to be withdrawn.
However, with Lumber Dream
on the shelf, the Miller now is
wide open. The first four fin
iShers in each division will be
eligible for the final.
Following the qualifying
trials, the weeks schedule calls
for series of colt races for
trotters and PAGERS tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday. This
series represents an overall
purse distribution of about
$4,000 for the 2-year olds to
shoot at.
