: A House Civil Service sub
committee has approved a bill
to guarantee Federal employees
back pay and restoration OF
employe benefits that are
originally lost because of i'm
proper or erroneous dismissals,
suspensions or demotions.
:, The House unit headed by
Representative Olsen, Demo-
crat of Montana, acted after
hearing favorable testimony on
the measure from Civil Service
Commission officials and Gov
ernment employe leaders.
Z Sponsored by Representative
Beckworth, Democrat of Texas,
the bill would eliminate exist
ing loopholes which in some
cases deny employees back pay
or credit for annual and
sick leave rights that they lost
because Of improper dismis-
sails, suspensions, demotions,
etc.
: There are now a number OF
laws in which Federal employees,
In some cases, are provided
with back pay, ETC.. after be-
ing restored to their jobs. How
ever, there are a number Of
loopholes which deny restora-
ton Of these benefits to others
The Beckworth bill would close
these loopholes and guarantees
all employees back payments.
For example. under present
law, non-veteran employees i'm
properly denoted can't get
back pay on restoration to their
original Job except If it oc-
CURED in a observation-disclosures
And at present. probationary
employees can't get back pay
for improper dismissal except
in the case of reduction-in-
force. Also, credit for annual
and sick leave lost through i'm
proper dismissal or suspension
can't be given except in cases
which involved security. Also
employees In excepted jobs are
denied these rights.

ReaPpOrtionment
Battle in End Round

A second round was set in a lc-

the Maryland legislature.
Judge Bowie Duckett at Annap-
oils agreed to hear further argu-
ments today at 2 o'clock on wheth-
er metropolitan areas are entitled
to more representation in the State
Senate as well as the House of
Delegates.
Judge Duckett ruled May "a that
seating in the lower house vic
lated the constitutional rights of
metropolitan residents. but said he
did not see any constitutional re-
quirement for the Senate to be re-
lated to population, but declined
to give a formal ruling. The Court
of Appeals directed last Friday
that he also decide the Senate
question.
At present there is one senator
for each of the % counties and one
for each of Baltimore Citys six
legislative districts.
The legislature. meeting in spe-
ciaI session. added 19 seats to the
House for the benefit of meropoli-
tan areas. 1t took no action on the
Senate.
The Maryland Committee for Fair
Representation, complained that
the judge had decided only half
of the question. The committee out
lined these arguments:
The Maryland Senate "is one Of
the most grossly malappOrtioned
Legislative bodies in the union.
Small counties containing less than
Is percent of the states popula-
ton hold a majority of seats.
There also exists equally un-
reasonable discrimination among
the more populous subdivisions
themselves in the Senate Baltimore
county, with a population of about
