route of march will be along

To Get Key to City
The Commissioners will pre-
sent Col. Glenn with a key to
the city at the White House
instead Of at the District Build
ing, so there will be no halt
in the procession.
After his appearance at the
joint session of Congress, Col
Glenn will attend a luncheon
at the State Department.
Then, it is expected he will
spend a couple of days as
quietly as a national hero can
with his wife and children at
his Arlington home.

Col. Powers added.
Col. Glenn's curiosity and
initiative in taking charge dur
ing unexpected events i'm
pressed DR.. Douglas as prin-
cipal significance of his flight.
Better Than a Box"
"a man is a heck of a lot
better than a black box" for
electrically operated instru-
ments, he said.
Turning his ship around to
study luminous specks was an
example. said DR.. Douglas. Col.
Glenn, facing backward in his
capsule, turned it around to
ride facing forward to see if
the ''fireflies" were coming
from only one direction. They
were.
He also used his camera to
take pictures of the puzzling
bits of luminous material, and
the films are being examined
to determine whether they
captured them.
Changing film in his camera
gave Col. Glenn a revealing ex-
perience with weightlessness. A
film container drifted from his
hand. Reaching for it, he struck
it with his finger tips and it
went flying away. He never did
find it, the physician said.
DR.. Douglas said that space
flights to date show that "as
our experience increases we can
lower our physical standards
for picking astronauts."
He spoke of intelligence be-
ing more important than
physical condition in choosing
men for space flights because
they can always be trained into
good shape"
A geologist with "a caved-in
chest" could go to the moon.
His specialized knowledge and
ability would be more important
than his physical condition.
Officials saw significance in
the fact that Col. Glenn Suf-

fingers in the process of getting
out of his capsule after it was

fer the start of the pay raise to
next January /. Instead, it will
make the pay raises effective
on enactment (around July -
or may even make it retro
active to the early part of this
year. However, all indications
are that the pay raises will
become effective July /.
Also, the administrations re-
quest for a three-step raise
over a three-year period faces
a rebuff by Congress. If there
is any installment-type raise,
it most likely would be in two
annual steps.
One of the most important
features of President Kennedy's
plan is the proposal that the
President each year be required
to submit to Congress the Bu-
reau of Labor Statistics annual
survey comparing Government
and industry jobs, together
with whatever recommended
tons he may have for ad-
justing pay.
Under such a concept, Gov
eminent classified and postal
salaries, once they achieved a
degree of compatibility with
industry, would not tend to fall
behind so quickly as they have

Another important proposal
by Mr.. Kennedy is that there
be 10 within steps in each
Classification Act gra d e
through Grade Is, with a lesser
number of within steps in
the top grades. Longevity
steps as such would be abol-
ished.

the regular seniority step in

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy administration
is working on legislative pro-
posals to liberalize relocation
allowances for Government
employees and their families
when they are transferred to
jobs in different cities.
Many such transfers are
made in Government each year
with the invariable result that
the employees and their families
take a financial beating.
The Governments practices
in this regard fall far behind
those of private industry. Ad-
ministration officials are in
favor of legislation to liberalize
the Government benefits fo1
such employees.
For example, under present
law the Government pays trav-
ell and per diem expenses in
the move from one city to an
other only to the employe anG
not to members of his family
This is regarded as manifestly
unfair, since the transfer in
these cases is instigated by the
Government and not the en-
ploye. It is felt that the
travel and per diem expenses
of members of the family also
should be included.
Then, too, present Govern
ment payments for shipment
of household goods and per-
sonal belongings are not suf-
ficient, officials feel.
At present the Government
pays the costs for transporting
household goods and persona
effects up to 1000 pounds mel

SEND A KID TO CAMP
Boy at Crossroads;
Help Can Save Him

The one thing Perry's father
does well is set bad example
| for his son.
All his life he has hidden be-
hind surface charm and gone
his selfish way.
Promises to reform are his
contribution to the family, but
Perry'S mother has known for
years reform is not his goal.
While his father was hos
pitalized, Perry'S mother came
close to a physical breakdown
through holding two jobs, day
and night, so her children
would be fed and sheltered.
But though at home and en-
ployed himself now, Perry's ia
ther is encouraging his wife to
go back to work so he can buy
the extras he wants.
Drinking is one of his prob
lens, ending in physical abuse
to his wife and shouts for ST.
lence from the children.
Now 10, Perry is a handsome
little boy who can tell a lie with
ease. And he is learning to
steal. Even if caught red
handed, he puts on his most
appealing face and asks, How
can you think I'd do a thing
like that?"

the present state of affairs.
The Multer bill still is stuck
in committee, many of its pro-
visions opposed by the District
Commissioners and others.
Meanwhile, the hotels will go
along as before-no standup
drinking and no hard liquor
at the bars until they can get
something through Congress.
Hudson S. Moses, hotel aSSo-
citation president, said it was
likely that those who passed
the new law were under the
impression hotels were included
in the bill"
I'VE feel the error will be
corrected either in the Multer
bill, : it passes, or in a separate
bill which we will seek to give
hotels the same drinking rules
as the new law provides for
restaurants" Mr.. Moses said.

George Brown, has been given
a new District Court trial.
The United States Court of
Appeals in an order yesterday

which carried a death sentence.
White and his two co-defen-
dants have not asked for new
trials. Observers said they ap-
peared to be banking on the
hope that the appellate court
would order new trials anyway.
This could allow them to
argue that the "unwanted" sec

peals has said it will also rule
whether the other two men
should be given new trials.

Frank Small, jr., the Repub-

today began a search for a man
to replace D. Eldred Rinehart

Mr.. Small, of Clinton in
Prince Georges County, said he
would confer with other leaders
before announcing who he will
back for the party post. It's
traditional for the party to
name as chairman a man
backed by the candidate for
Governor.
High on the list of men being
considered for the post is David
Scull of Silver Spring, a former
Montgomery Republican chair
man. Mr.. Scull announced his
candidacy for Governor earlier
this year, but later withdrew in
favor of Mr.. Small.

Also being considered for the
post are Maj. Gen. William C..
