dence in Washington. For this
reason: Most Federal employees
have already established legal
voting residence so they can
avail themselves of the help
of their Representatives and
Senators in Congress on vari-
GUS job problems.
While Washington now will
have the right to vote for
President and Vice President.
1t still doesn't have the right
to have its own Representatives
and Senators in Congress. And
it is to their Congressman and
Senators that Federal employees
turn to when they are in dam
ger Of losing their jobs, when
they are denoted, when they
feel they have been discrimi-
mated against in the way Of
PAOAAAOUAO1loy CON
AS q result, while everybody
is happy that Washington has
the right to vote for President
and Vice President, most Fed
eral employees won't give up
their legal residences elsewhere
which gives them the added
power to petition directly their
members Of Congress on griev-
ances, job security. etc..

Political Tests" Opposed
Majority resolutions follow
closely the lines laid down pre-
vfously by r. Sargent Shriver,
director of the Peace Corps.
Perhaps the most controversial
recommends that the Peace
Corps have no Special political
tests Of oath, affidavit and se-

It also states the democratic
commitment" Of a corpsman
must be beyond doubt. and he
should be well trained in for

But the real measure Of these
qualifications should come in

on most Federal employees in

Although no official figures
are available, Civil Service
Commission officials estimate
that the large majority OF
Federal workers in this area
have legal residences in Mary
land or Virginia.
And of those Government
employees who do live in Wash
ington, a great many have
voting residences in other
States. OF course, Federal en-
ployes who are legal residents
of Washington will get the
right to vote.

watched. We don't know how many people

From the day the Mar inc Corps was est- ab1ished, the basic weapon of Marine has been the rifle. In 1t hist ory the Marine Corps has adopt ed several different types of rifles for by its troops most imp ortant being the 'c3 Springfield and the Gerand MI. The Springfield rifle proven highly efficient during the World War I period of deve1o opment of c ombat wea-- pons. short t inc after the start of World War II, the Marine Corps adopt ed the MI, which wa s proven most eff icient when 4 it was used in the humid and muddy jung1 V fighting of; the south Pacific and the freezing weather of the Korean conflict. The MI, because. of it's reliable accuracy, firepower, and it's parts that function under extreme climatic conditi ions, was the reason for many victorious battles. In the eyes of the Marine Corps, the MIhas ve11 served it's purpose and has pre- served the age old tradit lon of Marines overcoming great odds to win a campaign. But now, greater war machines have come bout, and a little better rifle than the MI has been ado pt ed. The Marine Corps is now using it in our EMF unit s and it is expected that all Marines will be issued themwithin two years.
