Back From India

LONDON. Mar. Z (AP).-
Queen Elizabeth II and her
husband, Prince Philip, returned
last night from a six-week,
20.000-mile tour of India,
PakiStan and Iran.
Their plane touched down
just after 8 pm. and in the
glare Of the floodlights the
Queens suntan fairly glowed
Because it was late, no men,
bers Of the royal family were
at the airport to meet the cou-
pie. But 1000 Londoners,
mostly women. broke police
ranks to mob the Queens car.
The Queen and Philip reached
Buckingham Palace 40 minutes
later. Queen Mother Eliza
beth, Princess Margaret and
her husband, Antony Arm
Strong-Jones, were there to
greet them.

Fog Slows Up Traffic,

One Of the denseSt fogs with

ing traffic to a crawl and shut
down National Airport for sew
eral hours today.
The heavy blanket extended
from New Jersey through
Northern Virginia. In sections
it was so thick that motorists
had to feel their way along
Windshield wipers were re-
quired to reduce the heavy

Airport Finally Stops
After several fits and starts
during the night, National Air
port had to cease all operations
at 2:25 am. as visibility dropped
under a half mile. Full serv-
ice was restored at $50 am.
Friendship Airport near Balti-
more also gave up Tor several
hours.
Because drivers used caution,
fewer accidents than usual were
reported this morning.
The Weather Bureau said the
fog developed as cooler air
moved in from the north to mix
with the unseasonably warm
and humid air here.
Another warm, muggy day,

GOOD IMPRESSION-At-
torney Robert Kennedy has
gotten off to a fine start with
Justice Department employees,
who find him friendly, con-
siderate and genuinely inter-
ested in their problems and
aspirations. Indicative of Mr..
Kennedy's attitude was his
personal note of thanks to all
Justice Department employees
who worked on Washington's
Birthday, which is a legal holi-
day in the Government.

IT'S OFFICIAL - John w.
Macy, jr.. yesterday was Off
cially sworn in as chairman Of
the Civil Service Commission.
In a brief speech to his top
staff, Mr.. Macy called for a
dynamic" civil service to help
and assist the Government in
carrying out its duties and re-
sponSibilitieS to the American
public.
TREASURY - Secretary Of
Treasury Dillon has taken steps
to insure that the Treasury
Department adheres closely to
fair employment practices and
does not discriminate against
persons because Of race. color
or religion in job appointments
and promotions. Mr.. Dillon
designated Robert A. Wallace,
special assistant to the Secre-
tary, as employment policy
officer in charge of the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Dillon noted that the
action is directly in line with
President Kennedy'S policy Of
fighting discrimination on all
fronts.
VA-New Veterans Admins
traitor John Gleason, jr., in a
special message to the agency's
employees, declared: "I have
had occasion to visit many VA
hospitals and field offices. I
have seen you people at work
and I have been much i'm
pressed with the skill, the dedi-
cation and the understanding
Of VA employees"
Mr.. Gleason added, "I do not
believe in change for the sake
Of change" The new VA chief
pledged his "wholehearted sup
port" to VA employees and
stressed that he would work
with them as a team to render
outstanding service to the

families. .t y

department IL Is natural TO
assume that other Government
departments and agencies
would want similar authority
as well to fill all the choice
career jobs with political ap-
pointees.
Career officials say the merit
system would be meaningless
II it were deprived of incentive
and rewards by placing the
$ao.ooo-and-above jobs under
political patronage.
SOf course, not all jobs pay
log $4,000 and above in the
postal service are under civil
service, but most of them are.
TO subject all Of them to Sen
ate confirmation would mean
placing them under political
patronage.
SIN a speech prepared for
Senate delivery, Senator john
ston charged previous Post
master General Summerfield
with "miSmanagement and
maladministration." He said
postal service "is worse today
than it was eight years ago."
Declaring that a cleanup is
needed, Senator Johnston de-
clared: II think it about time
we took a firmer hand in pass
ing on the qualifications of the
persons who will be in charge
Of this gigantic operation. and
perhaps in an orderly way OBJ
tain the management talent so
badly needed to bring the
American postal service out of
chaos and make it the efficient
operation we all have a right
to expect"
Senator Johnston noted that
all postmasterS now require
Senate confirmation Of their
appointments. However, many
postal employees in the $4,000
and above salary category are
career executives, administra-
tors, supervisors and profess
sional people who have made
Government their career.
Federal employe leaders were
reluctant to be quoted on the
Johnston proposal, since the
South Carolina Democrat has
always been a strong friend Of
Federal employees, both from
the standpoint of securing
benefits and protecting their
lob rights.
This is perhaps why they are
especially shocked at Senator
Johnston's plan, which they
feel could come close to wreck
ing the merit system.
s:"1f such q system were
adopted for the Post Office
Department, it invariably would
spread to other departments
and agencies, with the result
that no career employe in Gov
ernment could or would want
to aspire to any job paying
more than $40, 900 a year." one
employe leader noted. This
would be tantamount to de-
stroying all initiative and re-
wards in the merit system
which then would be a merit
system in name only"

ACID TEST-Meanwhile, it
will be interesting to note the
stand that President Kennedy
and the Civil Service Commis-
sion take on the Johnston
bill. All. the fine words by Mr..
Kennedy and csc Chairman
John Macy on civil service
would be meaningless If the

much news on them recently, Hol-

This drew applause from an au-
dience of many longtime residents

school of Tuskegee Institute.

He said that the university had
not told them not to participate in

for the first time that Christ
had once preached in Galilee.
PLATE remembered that Herod
was the governor of that prov
ince and was in the city at the
present time. He saw that there
was a chance for him to get
out Of q tight spot by claiming
that he had no jurisdiction in
the case. Therefore, Jesus was
taken from Plate to Herod-
the son of an ancient enemy.
He received what one would
expect-gestures of contempt,
a crown of thorns and a robe
of mock royalty and was re-
manded back to PLATE.
While he appeared before
PLATE a second time two
interesting events took place
PLATE talked the matter over
with his wife and was advised
by her to do nothing with
Jesus as He was "a righteous
man." Also, Judas confessed to
having betrayed an innocent
man and attempted to return
the 80 pieces of silver. He threw
them with horror into the
temple and ran therefrom into
potters field where he hanged
himself and was later buried.
It is probable that this extreme
remorse on the part of the
betrayer of Jesus was brought
to the attention of PLATE, and,
II it was. it alone should have
prompted him to discharge
Jesus.
But Plate stepped onto the

If there was an unanimous

within three days. When con-
Ifronted with these statements,
Christ remained silent, Then
Caiaphas asked Him If He was
the Christ. He then, for the
first time, broke His silence
and said, you have said So"
This was interpreted as bias
phemy and He was at once
sentenced to death. They then
spat upon Him, and. having
performed this black deed in
1.-THE name Of the law, retired
to the comfort of their beds
and remanded Christ to PLATE,
the Roman Governor, in order
to have execution upon the
sentence of death.
Before the Romans
The Roman soldiers then
took the Nazarene before Pi-
late. This was necessary be-
cause the Sanhedrin did not
have the power to put into
effect a death sentence, and.
for the further reason, that
the Roman Procurator acted
as an appellate judge in cases
coming to him from the San
hedrin. AS such, PLATE, even
without having had q legal
education, should have seen
the reversible errors which the
Sar1hedrin had committed. For
example: Caiaphas had had no
right to question Jesus within
his private palace; the arrest
of Jesus had been illegal; the
Sanhedrin had exceeded Its
power when it preferred the
charge of blasphemy against
Him; He had been given no
opportunity to have counsel; !;
and the Sanhedrin should have
set Him free when it found
Him guilty by a unanimous
vote. 1t is probable that PLATE
saw that those errors had been
committed, One did not become
a Roman Procurator by being
stupid.
PLATE found no evidence to
support the charge Of bias
phemy and told the elders that
the conviction was improper
1t then slipped into the case
