The Saxons had word for Spring It was
Lencten, shortened, in time, to Lent.
So the name Lent was given to that spring
time period Of 40 fast days from Ash Wednesday
until Easter.
Lent came to mean time Of penitence. And
it is. But it is also time Of preparation. and OF
promise. For because Lent means Spring, it
herads good things to come. It forecasts the gorl-
Gus message of Easter 1t is the dawn OF the most
beautiful season of the year.
The bare branches Of these trees will burst
into bud and leaf with the touch of Spring. Our
thoughts during Lent, our personal preparations,
also will reach fruition when the 40 days are
through.
Lent is the time for prayer and self-examina-
ton. Make this Lenten season really mean some
thing by seeking help and guidance at your church
services.

The Government says a
blouse factory can't move to
South Carolina over labor
contract dispute and leave its
employees in Philadelphia with
out jobs.
The National Labor Relations
Board ruled yesterday that
Sidele Fashions, Inc, must pro-
vide jobs for the old employees
either in Philadelphia or at the
new plant in Ware Shoals, S. c
1t labeled the move South last
year an unfair device to wrest
bargaining concessions" from
the Garment Workers Union.
And the NLRB gave Mac J.
Calm and Sidney L. Schiro, who
now operate Personality Sports
wear, Inc, in Ware Shoals, two
choices:
/. Write all employees dis
charged in the move and offer
them substantially the same
jobs they had at a reopened
Philadelphia plant. The board
said Mr.. Calm had indicated
interest in reopening the plant
il he could reach an agreement
with the union.
2. Offer them similar jobs al
Ware Shoals plant with full
seniority and other rights. dis

ployes at the Ware Shoals
plant" except for those who
make an economy line $3.50 a

Carolina plant specializes.

Blouse Firm Ordered
ToMendWorker Policy

Workers who decide to move
to Ware Shoals, the NLRB said,
will be paid travel and moving
expenses for themselves and
their families. Only nine of
Sidele's 200 workers have gone
to Ware Shoals so far, the
board said.
Also, the board said en-
ployes should be reimbursed for
loss of pay they may have suf-
fered as a result of the dis
elimination against them
since the Philadelphia plant
was closed in January, 1860.
At Ware Shoals, Mr.. Schiro
said the firm would appeal the
decision. He said an NLRE
trial examiner had ruled in
favor Of Sidele but that the full
board reversed the examiner.
The board said the company
acted properly in rejecting the
Philadelphia Dress Joint Board
of the Garment Workers Union
when it demanded a new con-
tract that would have increased
costs by an amount in excess
Of Sidele's net income for the
preceding year.
But while this was reason
able, the board added, "the
question remains why the re-
spondent elected to remove the
Philadelphia operation to Ware
Shoals instead of continuing to
operate in Philadelphia under
the terms of the old contract
pending negotiation of a sat-
isfactory new contract.

johnson had to leave Edwards
Air Force Base to keep a tight
schedule.
You can see what can go
wrong in the space program by
what happened today" Mr..
johnson remarked after leaving
Edwards in one of President
Kennedy's jet transports.
But there's nothing Wash
ington can do about that" he
added resignedly.
Mr.. johnson is on a swing
through Western space-age cen
tiers. His journey, which took
him to Ames Research Center
near San Francisco yesterday
morning and Edwards in the
afternoon continues today in
Southern California and to-
morrow in Texas.
Top Space Official
AS head Of the National
Aeronautics and Space Council,
Mr.. johnson is by law the top
space official in the Nation.
AS such, he was dispatched by
President Kennedy on a COM
bination information seeking
and morale-building mission.
At Ames, one Of the civilian
space agency's chief centers Of
far-out research. Mr.. Johnson
was shown how scientists are
getting ready for Project Apollo,
the program aimed at landing
men on the moon by the end
of the 1960s. At Edwards, he
got a look at some advanced
space-age hardware and flight
techniques.

Technology in the morning,

/. That 35 per cent Of en-
ployes had reduced their use Of
sick leave by an average Of Is
per cent after the introduction
of the cash payment plan.
approximately one-third OF
the IS per cent who reduced
their use of sick leave did so
at a rate of so per cent or more.
,2.On the other hand, approx
imately Cd per cent increased
their use of sick leave on an
average of 43 per cent. One
per cent did not change their
leave-use pattern.
However, Mr.. MacDiarmid
said, Michigan is encouraged by
the program and feels 1t can be
improved in the years ahead
based on experience gained thus
far. He said that as the pro-
gram has its effect on younger
employees, the more these en-
ployes will be inclined to use
leave more prudently.
Reasons BrOadened
For one thing, Mr.. MacDiar-
mid said, the 81 per cent figure
may be a bit misleading.
He noted that at the same
time that the cash payment
plan was put into effect, the
sick leave provisions were lib
sralized so that sick leave also
could be used by employees in
taking care of sick relatives ano
,iattending funerals. Conse.
quently, the use of sick leave
on the part of many employees
increased.
!, Michigan State employees re.
ceive Is days of sick leave
year, the same as Fedora
workers. They can accumulate
their sick leave from year tt

Federal employees.

noted that as those who retired

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Cash for Unused Sick Leave
Found No Cure-AII for Abuses

Mr.. MacDiarmid said the sur
vey showed that in nearly all
cases those employees who were
careful in the use Of their sick
leave before the payment plan
were the same individuals who
reduced their sick leave use
after the cash payment plan
was started. However. II per
cent of employees who were
chronic sick leave users were
conspicuous for their reduced
use of sick leave after the plan
began.
Most Increase Use
But most chronic sick leave
users increased the use Of their
sick leave after the liberaliza-
ton of the benefits. The pros
pect Of getting cash payment
| for unused sick leave on re-
tirement apparently had no
effect on them.
Mr.. MacDiarmid closed his
report on an optimistic note
He said that by succeeding in
getting 35 per cent of employees
who subsequently retired to de-
crease sick leave use. the State
got a full days work out of
these employees for which 1t
paid them only a one-half rate
on retirement.
In another talk, Mrs. Jean
Graham, Colorado Democratic
National Committeeman
told the PPA she challenged
the assumption" of Government
personnel experts that changes
in so-called top policy jobs are
sufficient to effect a real
change of policy in a new
administration.
Mrs. Graham said reassign-
ments and appointments Of

Royburn's Condition
Is Listed as Serious

DALLAS, Tex, Oct. 4 (AP).-
House Speaker Rayburn re-
manned on the serious" list
today at Baylor Hospital, and
his doctors hope to know to-
morrow just how serious his
condition is.
A morning medical bulletin
said, "Mr. Rayburn spent a rea-
sonably comfortable night. A
large amount of diagnostic work
is being done and additional
tests will be carried out today
and tomorrow and further
treatment will depend entirely
upon findings. There has not
been enough diagnostic work
done at the present time to
reach any definite conclusion
as to his exact condition"
An aide said the Speaker ap-
peared to be feeling better this
morning and complained good
naturedly about the necessity
for further tests.
A team headed by DR.. Robert
F. Short, prominent Dallas
surgeon, started a series Of tests
on Mr.. Rayburn yesterday.
They said it would be SO to 40
hours before they knew any
thing definite.
They declined to comment on
a report from one of Mr.. Ray
burns aides that an explora-
tory operation may be per-
formed.
This man is in serious con-
dition, just how serious we do
not know at this time" one of
the doctors said privately.
The 79-year-old Mr.. Rayburn
had been under heavy seda-
ton. At times he hardly rec
ognized the few visitors allowed
to see him briefly. With him
for periodic visits were his two
sisters, Mrs. W. A. Thomas Of
Dallas and Mrs. Robert BARLEY
of Bonham, Tex.
Mr.. Rayburn was brought to
the hospital Monday night after
failing to respond to normal
treatment for, what had been
publicly described by his office
as lumbago.
He left Washington for a rest
at his home in Bonham, so
miles from here, a month be-
fore Congress adjourned. This
led to suspicious that his ILL
ness was more serious than had

sets foot there. The afternoon
points Of interest, Vandenberg
and Arguello, are launching
centers for other space pro-
grams.
It was obvious to Mr.. john
sons first crowded day on the
space swing that he approached
the morale boosting part of his
assignment with deadly serious
ness. Hardly a hand remained
mistaken as the tall Texan
rushed through a day Of brief
ings and demonstrations.
A morale boost for Govern
ment scientists has long been in
order, in the opinion of many
close to the space scene. At a
luncheon honoring the Vice
President, Ames Center's d.
rector, Smith j. De France, re-
marked wistfully that in 40
years of his experience at Ames
Mr.. Johnson was the first man
of such exalted rank to visit the
$200-million installation.
The Vice President said later
he would visit all NASA centers
including the three in the gen.
eral neighborhood of Washing
ton: Goddard Space Flight Gen.
ter at Greenbelt, Md. Langley
Research Center at Hampton
Va, and Wallops Station neal
Chincoteague, Va.

been diclosed. One source close
to Mr.. Rayburn said doctors
suspected a liver infection at the
time of his departure from
Washington.
Since returning to Bonham,
Mr.. Rayburn had kept a heavy
schedule of visitors and had
been unable to obtain the rest
his physician, DR.. Joe Riser,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-10-04

ordered. He was persuaded to
enter the hospital for a COM
plete checkup.
He walked into the hospital
and told a friend he expected
to walk out later in the week.
Associates who had worked
with Mr.. Rayburn at Bonham
said he had lost considerable"
weight and had no appetite.
