terror in the Doukhobor coun-

committee expressed belief this
venereal disease can and
should be eliminated as a pub

Some 65 Negro and white

tionally white Chicago beach
again yesterday. Some sat on
the sand and talked while
others swan.
There were no incidents
not even shouting-and there
were no arrests. The demon
stration, which broke up after
about three hours. was carried
out under the watchful eye of
a police detachment of 200
patrolmen. About 800 persons
had gathered to watch the
"wade-in" demonstrators.
The demonstration followed
three week ends of antagonism
among police, bathers and
"wade-in" demonstrators. Sew
eral persons were arrested on
disorderly conduct charges dur
ing the previous activity.
Beach guards estimated that
the hot, sunny weather sent
about 10000 persons to the
beach.

ployes in defense and other
agencies in the Washington
area are being required to fill
out detailed questionaires re-
garding their total family in
come, the value of their homes
and furnishings, the taxes they
pay, etc.
Some employees feel the
questionaires are an invasion
of their personal privacy.
However, the Civil Service
Commission, which prepared
the QUESTIONABLE, says it is be-
ing used merely to compare the
cost-of living differential OF
Federal employees overseas.
Under the law, the basis for
determining whether these
overseas employees should get
a pay differential is the COM
parison with the cost of living
in the Washington area.
csc officials say the ques-
tionnaires are being used for
no other purpose. Employees are
not requied to sign their names
and there is no other way to
identify them individually, csc
officials declare. The question
naires are sealed by employees
in "a plain white envelope.
Not all employees are being
given the QUESTIONABLE to fill
out. About 6 per cent Of en-
ployes in the military agencies
and such units as the State
Department are participating
on a random basis.

The Civil Service Commits
sion soon will send Congress a
favorable report on the bill to
give non-veteran Government
employees appeal rights equal to
those enjoyed by veterans.
Sponsored by Senator Var
borough, Democrat of Texas,
the bill (S-786) would give non-
veterans the same appeal
rights to the csc that veterans
now have from adverse agency
actions such as dismissals, sus-
pensions and demotions.
I At present non-veterans can
appeal agency actions to the
csc only on reductions-in-
force and procedural defects.
!. Incidentally, the American
Legion has informed csc Of
ficials that it has no objection
to such legislation. The legion
in the past, while not opposing
such legislation, has not been
overly enthusiastic. However,
legion officials feel it is only
fair that non-veterans have
equal appeal rights. They do
want to make sure, however,
that the CSC is given enough
funds by Congress for sufficient
personnel to handle the greater
number of appeal cases that
would result from extending
appeal rights to non-veterans.

KARACHI. Pakistan. Oct. IL
(AP) .-Bashir Ahmad has
sworn on the Koran before his
wife and four children that he
will not look at another woman
during his visit to the United
States.
But the 44-year-old camel
cart driver is having trouble
convincing other jealous men,
bers of his clan that he won't
go astray on the trip he is
making at the invitation of
Vice President Lyndon B. john
son. And his good fortune has
aroused considerable jealousy
among his associates.
Armed police have been
posted outside Bashir's hut
since he reported receiving
death threats.
Bashir is all set to leave by
plane Saturday, but his rela-
tives think he will come home
with the big head. They fear
that in the foreign land he will
eat pork and ham and drink
intoxicating liquor-all forbid
den to Moslems. They threaten
to oStracize him on his return.
Children Excited
BaShir'S three sons and his
daughter are excited about his
journey-but not his wife.
She's afraid he will marry
''maim"-a white woman.
: What will happen to my
four children and who will
support me and feed them if
he brings a white wife with
him?" she moaned.
So Bashir took an oath that
he would remain faithful and
he promised his children he
would bring back a cap and a
pair of shoes for each of them
as a present.
Mr.. johnson noticed the
gray-haired camel cart driver
on the roadside during the
Vice Presidents visit to Ka-
rachi in May. Mr.. johnson
suggested BaShir visit the
United States and a Pakistani
newspaper seized on the idea.
