What you think you want
for retirement. If you are
like most people. is contrast.
You have been an intro
verted auditor in a back Of
flee; you dream Of treasure
islands. You live on a farm
and you long for big-city life,
and vice versa. You live in
the North and you yearn for
the South.
There's nothing wrong with
this. Not If you have the
courage to see it through
and satisfy yourself the con-
trast is, or is not, what you
want. And not If you leave
the door propped open so you
can come back.
In general. contrast is not
really what you want at IS.
MY wife" says an insur-
ance man who retired last
year. must have visited
somebody's country estate
when she was a young girl.
Always she wanted us to have
q country place. And as my
retirement came on she In
sisted we start planning it.
I'VE did. I bought 80 acres
eight miles out Of town
Just about right for an arti-
ficial lake, some woods, q big
patio with umbrella, a low
slung, very modern ra nc h
house and maybe q couple
of horses"
It was 0 far cry from
apartment living In town.
But it was a chic idea. The
wife was socially bent, with
many friends and the coun-
try place was to be a sort Of
social temple where she would
reign as high priestess.
Before eight months were
over we knew we were wrong. 1"
the husband says. Friends
came visiting out of curiosi-
ty, then because they were
invited. Finally eight miles
proved to be a very long dis
tance. We were left in splen-
did isolation, with lonely days
and nights. rural sounds we
didn't care for, inconve-
niences we didn't anticipate.

Kennedy Asks
Change for
ReserVist Plan

President Kennedy today
sent Congress proposed amend
ments to his 1868 fiscal year
budget to carry out Defense
Department plans for stream
lining the Army's Reserve
forces.
A $50 million increase would
provide 4S drills in fiscal 1863
for those Reserves in a paid
drill status instead of the "a
drills provided for a larger
number of reservists in the
original budget.
An offsetting $6.9 million re-
duction in funds would result
from a decrease of $4,000 men
in paid drill strength for the
Army Reserve forces from the
$4,000 included in the original
budget estimate.
In another supplemental re-
quest, the President asked Con-
gress for an additional $6 mil
lion to help step up the eco
nomic growth Of Okinawa and
other Ryukyo islands.
The White House said the
requested extra funds will pro-
vide for a higher level of eco
nomic aid in order to increase
the rate of economic develop
ment. The proposal would

lied for such aid.
Mr.. Kennedy also sent Con-
greSs proposals involving a net
decrease of $265. 900 for civil
functions of the Army Corps
of Engineers.
He proposed an increase Of
$685.. 900 to permit the corps
to initiate a joint program Of
investigations with the Atomic
Energy Commission for de-
Ivelopment Of the use Of atomic
explosives for peaceful con-
struction purposes.
This increase was more than
offset by a proposed decrease
of $930.000 originally proposed
for construction, resulting in
reductions due to more favor
able bids from contractors than
had been anticipated on some
projects. and delays on others.

The Civil Service Commission
today issued regulations to i'm
plement President Kennedy'S
'rece executive order
strengthening Federal en-
ployes' appeal rights within
their agencies.
Although the CSC regula-
tionS strengthen various pro-
cedural rights and guarantee
employees appeal rights and a
hearing before their agencies,
they fall considerably short of
what Government employe
leaders had wanted.
For one thing, the regula-
tions do not guarantee en-
ployes the right to an impartial
hearing board which would
have union or employe repre-
sentatives on it or would be
independent, such as the one
set up by the Post Office De-
partment.
Nor do they require expert
. enced and independent hearing
officers to conduct such hear
ings.
The regulations do forbid
the superiors who preferred the
o charges against the employe. or
officials who reviewed the
charges before adverse action
was taken, to sit ON these hear
ing boards. And the agencies
are instructed to have hearing
board members selected "in a
manner to insure that members
will be fair. impartial and OBJ
jective."
The regulations also fail to
protect employees against re-
moval from their jobs before
their appeal is decided.
The CSC announced that II
soon will issue follow-up regu-
lationS giving non-veteran en-
ployes the same right as veter-
ans to appeal to the csc on
adverse agency actions. This
right Of appeal to the CSC is
given if the employees appeal to

KEY PROVISIONS - Here
are the key provisions of the
new regulations:
Agencies must give employees
and representatives Of employe
organizations an opportunity to
comment on their systems and
proposed future changes in
them.
The agency appeals systems
must be published and made
available to employees and their
representatives.
The employe must be notified
of his right to appeal and may
appeal at any time after an ad-
verse action, but not later than
10 days after the effective date
of the action.
The employe is entitled to
name a representative of his
choosing in presenting his ap-
peal.
The employe and his repre-
sentative must be assured free
dom from restraint, interfer-
ence, coercion, discrimination
or reprisal. and must be allowed
a reasonable amount of official
time to present the appeal.
Normally only one appeal
level within the agency is per-
mitted, but an additional Level
can be provided with concur
renee of the commission, if re-
quired by delegations of au-
thority or organizational ar
rangements of the agency.
/ The appellate review must
be made by an official who is
at a higher organizational level
than the person who made the
adverse decision. If the agency
head made the adverse decision
he must decide the appeal.

opportunity for a hearing
