Possible misuse Of sick leave
through Government employee
: disability retiremnts will be
Investigated by the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
: As part of its general study
of sick leave, the commission
wants to find out whether the
greatest misuse results via dis
ability retirement.
{ About SO per cent Of those
retiring from Government re-
tire on disability. And these
can use UP all Of their unused
sick leave before formally leav-
ing the rolls. This is a costly
item for the Government.
Since Federal employees on
! leaving the Government are not
supposed to receive cash pay
| ment or any other kind Of
credit for their sick leave, csc
officials suspect that some en-
ployes choose the disability re-
tirement method to get full
credit for their sick leave. And

BY DAVID WISE and
THOMAS B. ROSS

A few days after his return
from Paris, President Eisen-
hover invited a large group
of Republican and Democratic
leaders to the White House. 1t
was assumed he wanted to give
an explanation for the summit
failure, but the guests were
wary about raising the tender
subject.
Finally, Senator Fulbright,
chairman of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee, posed a ques-
ton delicately. The Arkansas
Democrat wanted to know why
the President had taken the
unprecedented step Of assum-
ing responsibility for the U-2
flight.
For an instant Mr.. Eisen-
hover flashed his celebrated
temper.
Look, Senator" he said
sharply. this is modern-day
espionage. In the old days !
could send you out or send a
spy out and, If he was caught.
disavow him. But what do
you do when you strap an
American-made plane to his
back, Senator?"
AS the other guests main
tanned an awkward silence,
Senator Fulbright stood up to
the presidential fire. He argued
that diplomatic intercourse was
impossible when the head of
a government defied tradition
and admitted his implication
in spying.
Seeks Answers
Senator Fulbright left the
luncheon determined to get to
the bottom of the summit col
lapse. His committee voted
unanimously to hold hearings
to find out: /. Why a U-2 had
been sent over the Soviet Union
such a SHIRT time before the
summit; 2sWhat the CHA was
looking for that was so i'm
portant. and 3. Who advised
the President to take RESPONSE
bility.
The inquiry was conducted
with extraordinary congress
sional secrecy and restraint.
All testimony was taken in
executive session before a CEN
sored version was released,
page by page, to the clamoring
press. Then the stenotyped
tapes were put through a shred
ding machine and obliterared.
Not a word was made public
of CHA Director Allen Dulles

included elaborate maps, charts
and U-2 photographs. One
copy of his testimony was
sealed, bound and locked tightly
in the committees files. All
other recordings were burned.
The basic lines of the ad-
ministration's case had been
laid down by Mr.. Eisenhower
in his television report to the
Nation five days after his re-
turn from Paris;

pert on Soviet affairs.
Mr.. Herter's opening state
ment reiterated Mr.. Eisen-
hower's assertion that there
had been a decision" not to
halt the flights as the Paris
conference drew near.
1.-THE decision not to sus-
pend this program of flights
as the summit approached. :"
Mr.. Herter testified, was a
sound decision"
Under questioning, however,
Mr.. Herter conceded that there
actually had been no specific
decision on whether to halt
the flights just before the sum-
NIT. He explained, however,
that the summit conference
was very much on my mind as
it was on everybody's mind at
that time"
The contention of the wit
nesses was that the entire U-2
affair had been handled prop
erly by the administration (Mr.
Dillon said there was "full CO.
ordination~, but that Mr..
Khrushchev had long before
decided to torpedo" the sum-
NIT because he realized he
would not get his way in Paris.
Nevertheless, Mr.. Herter tes-
titled at another point that
there were no prior indications
Of this. And he admitted the
"U-2 incident was a conven-
lent handle for (Mr. Khru-
shchev) to use to torpedo the
conference"
He also testified that had 1t
not been for the U-2 there
might have been some easing
Of the overall atmosphere" at
Paris. An interim agreement
for Berlin" might have been
possible and the disarmament
deadlock" might have been
broken.
When Senator Fulbright
asked what had been learned
from the U-2 affair, Mr.. Herter
replied simply: Not to have
accidents"
Wrangling Censored
The committees hearings
we're marked py many bitter
exchanges among the Senators,
mainly as to whether a close
scrutiny of the events would
give aid and comfort to the
Communists. The Hrangling
was censored out, but in the
end the committee admitted
Illustration. 1t could not de-
termine for sure If a U-2 had
ever been grounded for pont-
ical reasons. And the witnesses
refused to reveal the purpose

Kennedy Leads Closed Circuit nv Audience On Cultural Crusade

WASHINGTON lR = President Kennedy led big closed circuit television audience on the begin ming of a S30-million cultural cru- sade last night.
 He told the nation that when the dust of centuries has passed the United States twill be re- membered not for our victories and defeats in battle or in politics, but for our contribution to the human spirit"
 He was joined by former Presi- dent Dwight Eisenhower, tuned in from Augusta, Ga, in non-par- tisan appeal for funds to build a National Cultural Center here.
 "A mecca for art Eisenhower called it. He said it could give everyone who comes to Washing ton a better appreciation of Amer ica.
 Kennedy opened the show = an extravaganza of the arts from ballet and drama to concert stage, Negro spiritual and poetry, all do- hated by the artists
 An audience estimated at 150,- 900 tuned in on the closed circuit pageant in 65 cities, paying entry fees from S1 to s10O. It was hoped the nights efforts would raise one million dollars = just a fraction of what's needed for the cultural center.

Robert Ross Says Election Code In Need of Changes

JUNEAU lR - Robert A. Ross a Republican observer at the re- count of Nov 6 votes cast for Gov ernor and Secretary of State said today the retabulation has strengthened the need for changes in the Election Code.
 We've found, I believe, that there is definite need in the code for a standard method for de- termining the validity of ballots, /" Ross said.
 "On number of ballots in- volved in this recount it has come down, almost literally, to the use of calipers to determine whether marks made by voter should prove his intent or disqualify the ballot"
 Ross said the recount has also shown that the code should spell out clearly what constitutes the identifiable ballot.
 In one outlying precinct, Ross said, a voter was given a yellow sample ballot to use after the pre- cinct ran out of regular ballots.
 Ross acknowledged that the Elec- ton Code permitted such a sub- stitution under the circumstances, "but, everyone in that village knows who voted the yellow sample ballot and the law speci- fies that ballots cannot be identi- liable by voter
 Ross also noted that the proce- dure for determining the validity of ballots marked by erasures or corrections were changed after the count had reached the midway point.
 During the first half of the re- count, only votes in the specific races involving ensures or cor rections were disalloWed, under a 1860 ruling by the Attorney Gen. eral. Votes in other races on the ballot were counted.

CAB Suspen,Is AA'>
 Proposed Group Fare Reduction

WASHINGTON tR - The Civil Aeronauties Board suspended yes terday reduced group fare which Alaska Airlines planned to intro duce Dec.2 between Seattle-Ta coma and Fairbanks and Anchor age.
 Three competing airlines Northwest, Pacific Northern and Pan American = complained that the proposed fares of s75 and S37 were below the ninin1uns= pre- vieuslx established by the board, and therefore would debase the Alaskan fare structure without hope of compensating traffic gains
 The CAB said it's minimum fare order applied only b regular service solely in the Seattle-Fair- banks market, and did not pro hibit special or promotional fares.
 The board based it's suspension primarily on the fact that the pro- posal would permit a group men- Der to fly one way and to travel the other way by surface.
 The CAB said this would be difficult to enforce, since there would be no way for the airline to determine whether the return portion of the trip was made, ol if it were made within the 21 day time limit proposed.
 The CAB added that it woulc have been more inclined to per init the fare to go into effect. pend | ing investigation, had it bee marked to expire before the star of next summers tourist season or had it been restricted to trave on off-peak days of the week dur ing the spring and summer peri 1 ods
 The application said there was a need for group fares in the mar ket to enable the new state to compete more effectively with other resort areas, notably Hawaii.
 Alaska Airlines said also that the fares would generate traffic in combination with summer sea cruises, and would spur off-sea- son travel to such events as the Winter Olympic Trials and ski championships at Anchorage.
 The board suspended the pro- posal until March l pending a hearing and decision.
