Trunsit's Income
Up 63 Per Cent

D. c. Transit, Inc, has re-
ported to the District Public
Utilities Commission that its
net operating income for April
was up 63.4 per cent over the
same month for the previous
year.
The report, disclosed yester-
day, showed that the company's
net operating income for April
was $276,859, an increase of
$107,436 over the corresponding
period in 1860.
This boost resulted because a
decline in revenue from pass
engers was more than offset
by a drop in the company's ex-
penSeS. The dip in expenses re-
fleets the lower depreciation
rate on buses the company is
allowed under a recent P. U. C.
ruling.
The company's net operating
income for the year to date
showed an increase of 30.4 per
cent over the corresponding pc
riod last year.

Court Review

The Supreme Court has
agreed to review the contempt
of Congress conviction of John

president Of the United Elec-
trical Workers Union.
Mr.. Gojack was cited for
contempt after he refused to
SsA. the House Un-American
Aetivities Committee in March,
1855, whether he was a member
Of the Communist Party and
whether he knew certain others
to be Communists. Like half-a-
dozen others whose cases are
pending before the Supreme
Court, Mr.. Gojack based his
fefusals to answer on the First
Amendment right Of free
speech.
s.SJudge David Pine of District
Court here sentenced Mr.. Go
Sack to nine months in prison
and a $500 fine. Judge Pine
tejected his plea for probation,
saying the 43-year-old union
official had been defiant" at
the Capitol hearing.
His conviction was affirmed
by the Court of Appeals here
last year, after having been
held up to await Supreme Court
Necision successfully in two

Defense Aid
To Religious
Schools Hit
By the Associated Press


Opposition to proposals for
church school aid under the
National Defense Education
Act was registered yesterday by
Lutheran and Baptist spokeS-
men.
The Rev. Philip A. johnson
reported to a House Education
Subcommittee the National Lu-
theran Councils vigorous and
uncompromising opposition to
the proposals to extend public
aid to non-public schools under
title III of the National De-
fense Education Act"
C. Emanuel Carlson, execu-
tive director of the Baptist
Joint Committee on Public At
fairs, said that group also be-
lieveS loan provisions for
church school science equip
ment should be omitted from
the act.
The subcommittee is consid-
ering proposals to continue and
broaden the act. It provides
for loans and grants to public
and private schools and COL
leges for specific facilities or
programs, as contrasted with
proposals for general Federal
aid to schools. s.
While most administration
legislative leaders have opposed
including aid for church-oper-
ated schools in the general
school aid bill. some have sug-
gested that broadening the aid
offered under the Defense Edu-
cation Act might provide way
of extending a measure of help
to Roman Catholic and other
private schools.

The Army staff believes the
Army can get along without a
manpower increase if it's plans
for a strengthened ready re-
serve force are adopted, Deputy
Defense Secretary Gilpatric
told a press conference today.
He said the proposal for a
reserve force, which could pro-
duce 10 fighting divisions eight
weeks after the order to mobi-
lie, came from Army planners,
mot, I might say, by any egg
head advisers"
The thrust and tenor" of
Army recommendations, he
added, was that the existing
S75, ,0o0-man active Army is big
enough.
Some key Army officers
promptly disagreed in private
with Mr.. Gilpatric. They said
the Army urged a manpower
increase of at least $4,000 men
and that the ready-reserve
plan, as a substitute, was i'm
posed by the administration,
not requested by the Army.
Divisions Being Revised
The Army will revise its di-
vision structure, and this will
increase strength requirements
by about 10000 men, Army peo-
pie say. They also believe they
need more men to get all their
ready, limited war forces at top
strength.
But Mr.. Gilpatric said today
in answer to questions that he
does not believe the Army needs
any more men.
The Deputy Secretary also
said that he personally doubted
if it was possible to fight a non-
nuclear limited war. He said
the nuclear capability of the
three services was not being re-
duced. Asked If military men
agreed, he said he would rather
not answer the question.
Would Count on Reserves
He did say that if NATO was
being overwhelmed by a nom
nuclear attack it would defend
itself with nuclear weapons.
He declined to answer a ques-
ton about the non-nuclear de-
fense of Berlin.

the CSC's excuse was that it

GRIEVANCES-Post Office
Department officials met the
other day with postal employe
leaders to discuss changing
postal employe grievance pro-
cedures.
James K. Sullivan, the de-
partment's special assistant on
employe relations, said the
department wanted to improve
its grievance procedures to
give a better break to employees
involved in grievances. He
said the department is con-
sidering having outside hearing
officers from other Federal
agencies to hear grievance
cases, provide for cross-exami-
nation of witnesses, and ex-
pedite the handling of employe
appeals.
APPROVAL DUE-A Senate
Civil Service subcommittee to-
day is expected to approve the
bill liberalizing postal employe
longevity pay benefits.

priations Committee in voting

Seven young Americans re-
turning from overseas assign
ments say the Peace Corps
could do much to correct what
they called a distorted and
blurred image of America
abroad.
Farm families in Australia
and New Zealand all think of
Americans as very rich, living
in a pushbutton civilization
and all owners of expensive
cars" they reported.
In Nepal, they said, the
Americans stay to themselves
while the Russians mingle with
the people and learn to speak
the local language.
The seven were part of an
international farm youth ex-
cahnge program sponsored by
the National All Club Founda-
ton. This privately financed
program has been suggested as
a model for the Peace Corps
project.
They recently returned from
51a months with farm families
in Nepal, Australia and New
Zealand.
Two Are Married
Two members of the farm
youth exchange, Sharon She
line, 22-year-old home eco
nomics major at Iowa State
University, and Denis Dalton,

gers graduate in political sci
ence, found their assignment
to Nepal so engrossing they de-
cided to continue their careers
together. They were married
in Boise, Idaho, on their return
home late last month.

The Civil Service Commission
faces quizzing by Congress on
its passive role regarding the
miiitarizing of civilian jobs in
the defense agencies.
Members of the House Civil
Service Subcommittee on Fed
erad manpower expressed anger
and dismay yesterday as Fed
eral employe leaders listed case
after case where civilian en-
ployes are being pushed around
in the defense agencies, denied
promotions, downgraded in pay,
etc.
The pattern unfolded by the
witnesses was the same.
There is an increasing prac-
tice of placing retired military
officers in civilian jobs. Even
to the extent of holding top
grade civilian job vacancies
open for months so that mill
tary men can fill them on re-
tirement.
Also, military commanders
are abolishing traditional civil
service jobs and filling them
with active military personnel
The result is that more and
more choice civil service jobs in
Army, Air Force and Navy are
being denied to career civilians
and going to military men in
stead. In some cases, this not
only has meant lack of promo
tional opportunities, it has re-
suited in downgrading and lesser
salaries for civilian workers OF
outright loss of their jobs.
The witnesses, James Camp
bell, president, American FEEDER
alton of Government Employees
and Vaux Owen, president, Ma
tional Federation Of Fedora
Employees, declared that such
practices are not only destroy
ing morale and incentive among
civilian employees but threatens

Robert Kennedy Cites
Area Gambling Ring

Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy today used a Wash

as an example of how racket
GERS can cross State lines to
escape local law enforcement
and remain virtually immune
from Federal prosecution.
:, Testifying before the Senate
Judiciary Committee in behalf
OF his proposals for anti-racket-
.eering legislation, Mr.. Kennedy
disclosed that charges against
six of eight persons arrested in
a, recent raid will have to be
dropped because no Federal law
now makes their prosecution
possible.
..-,y Raid in LOudoun
""This very day." Mr.. Ken
nedy said, "a grand jury is look
ing into evidence obtained in a
raid last month in Loudoun
County, Va, which brought to
a-halt two of the largest num-
bers operations ever uncovered
in the State of Virginia. The
bank for these operations was
located on a farm In Loudoun
County, but most of the play

sons were arrested and all were
implicated in these operations,

Encrooches on Civilian Jobs

clared that use of military per-
sonnel in civilian jobs is costly
and wasteful and results in less
efficiency in the armed forces.
Another witness, Arthur L.
Sparks Of Fort Mcpherson, Ga,
detailed cases in which military
personnel took over high-paying
civilian jobs to the detriment
of career civilians.
Employe leaders feel that
the Civil Service Commission
can do something about the
situation if it really wanted to.
They believe CSC has given
tacit approval and the go-ahead
sign to most of the goings-on in
the defense agencies by remain
ing silent about these practices.
They feel that the csc could
withhold approval Of the ap-
pointment of retired military
officers in civilian jobs in
cases where it is apparent that
the jobs are especially ear
marked or created for these re-
tired military men and no one
else is allowed to compete for
the positions. Also, they de-
clare the CSC could take the
initiative on proposing tight
ening-up on the dual compen-
sation provisions which permit
some retired military person.
mel to draw both retirement
pay and salaries as Government
civilian employees.
In the situation where civil
ian jobs are abolished and
taken over by active military
personel, the csc probably
wouldn't have any direct au-
thority, employee leaders con-
cede. But they declare that the
csc should in these instances
make the situation known to
the President, the Secretary OF
Defense, ETC., so that these
practices can be stopped.

The bill he backed would ban

He made it clear that the
broad prohibition in one of the
bills against using wire COM
munications for gambling pur-
poses does not exempt the per-
son who uses a telephone to

he was continuously frustrated,
along with mayors Of medium

Mayors. These groups were

The new department in its
intent is fine, he added. But
