Nutrament for Meals that Are Missed

Time habit or Circumstance NAV interfere with the
good nutrition that regular meals should provide.
Foods too often selected because they can be
eaten quickly rather than because of their nutri-
tiOnal quality. Irregular eating may begin with wax
ing up late, leaving little or time for breakfast.
Nutrients missed at breakfast arc seldom replaced
by later meals. Busy housewives and Office workers
may miss lunch or hurricdly select foods of poor
quality. Travellers and spOrtsmen frequently find it
inoonNcnient to stop for or carry meals.
NuTRAMENT requires no preparation. II may br stored

agency workloads or emer-
gencies make it impossible for
them to be spared to take their
full vacation time. Under the
law, employees with 30 OF more
days of accumulated leave
must use all the leave they
earn each year or lose the un-
used portion.
There have been a number of
bills introduced in Congress
this year to correct the Situa-
ton. One would pay employees
cash for the forfeited leave.
Another would allow them to
carry over the unused leave
into the next year.
The csc staff reports on the
bills find some favorable as
poets in them, but conclude
that they would lead to abuses
on the part of employees. For
example, it is feared that an
employe might make a deal
with his supervisor and not
take all his leave in or
order to build up his accumu-
lation. Also lot of administra-
tive bookkeeping headaches is
feared if unlimited leave accu-
mutation and crediting is per-
mitted.
Consequently, the csc staff
proposes different legislation
that would give employees the
first six months of the follow
ing leave year to use all of the
annual leave of the preceding
year that they otherwise would
have forfeited. The ency
would have to certify that the
employe had been unable to
use the leave through no fault
Of his own.
The staff proposal is being
made to the Civil Service Com
misSioners for their approval.
The CSC feels that the present
situation is decidedly unfair to
employees who through no fault
Of their own lose annual leave
that is given them by law.

TRAVEL ALLOWANCE BILL
Evening star., 1961-04-11

"A House Government Opera
tions subcommittee next week
is expected to quickly approve
legislation increasing travel al
lowanceS for Federal employees.
The subcommittee headed by
Chairman Dawson of the full
committee will hold one-day
hearings on the bill next Tues
day. Quick approval is ex-
pected as soon as the hearings
are completed.
The bill, HR-3279, is spon-
Sored by Representative Grana-
han, Democrat of Pennsylvania.
1t would increase the present
$l2 a day maximum travel al
lowance to SIG. 1t would also
increase the auto mileage al
lowance from 10 cents to IL
cents.
Senate Civil Service Commit
tee hearings on the same legis-
lation haye been promised soon
by Chairman Johnston. The
Kennedy administration is ex-
Ipected to support an increase in
travel allowances.
! REACTION-The Civil Serv-
ice Commission says that al
though its survey shows that
the overwhelming majority of
Federal employees are well sat-
isfied" with the Government
employe health insurance pro-
gram. many of them have made
specific proposals for changes
to improve the program.
The csc has been distribut-
ing queStionnaires to Federal
employees here and throughout
the country asking their reac-
tions to the program. Thus far,
$4,000 questionnaireS have been
answered, the csc noted, in
pointing out that later returns
may give a different picture of
the situation. The csc hopes
to survey about 100000 Federal
workers, The returns will be
used by the csc to help it in
negotiating for new health in
surance contracts and in plan
ming for better, faster service
| for employees.
| The changes most frequently
requested by employees are:
| l. More detailed and specific
information, especially about
benefits.
2. The same premiums to be
charged married women with
non-dependent husbands that
are charged other married en-
ployeS.
3. Special reduced rates fer
certain groups, such as young"
families, small families and
couples beyond the child-bear-
ing age.
The major complaints were
delays in paying claims, other
difficulties with claims forms
and procedures and the feeling
that the plans don't pay
enough for what they cost.
Despite this, the csc said
80 per cent of the employees
said they would stay with the
present plans and only 10 per
cent would change if they
could do so now. More than a
third of the employees have
actually used their plans since
the program started last July.
-Four out of every five en-
ployes who have used their
plans were satisfied.
About one-third of the en-
ployes who filled out question
naireS suggested. specific
changes in their present plans,
and about one-fifth suggested
changes in the overall pro-
gram. ...-. ....

would receive raises as a result
of the legislatin.
About 1.9 million of the
workers now covered earn $1.15
and so would get no raises in
the first year. Among the
newly covered workers, only
743,000 now earn less than 81
an hour and would get raises
in the first year.
Ultimately, when the S1.25
minimum took effect, As mil
lion workers might get raises.
Retailers are the main target
of the legislation. The bill
would cover 2,45O,0O0 retail
workers who now are excluded.
Other categories to be covered
would include 100000 workers
in laundries, 10000 in local
transit companies, l million
in construction, and 100000
seamen.
COverage Provisions
The bill would cover retailers
with gross annual sales of 81
million or more, whether they
operated in one State or several
States.
But individual reail stores
would be exempted if their sales
were below $250,0O0, even If
they were branches of Million
dollar chains.
Also exempted by the bill
would be retailers receiving less
than $250,000 worth Of goods
per year for resale from across
State lines.
