Clerks-has warmed up some
what recently. One factor is
the friendlier relationship be-
tween new NALC president
Jerome Heating and UFPC
president Roy Hallbeck than
existed between Mr.. Hallbeck
and former NALC chief Bill
Doherty.
The independent National
Postal Union, the nucleus of
which was once in the UFPC,
has also called for one big
postal union. The UFPC has
suggested that one single union
of postal clerks be effected be-
fore formal one-bjg-union talks
begin.
While one big postal employe
union may still be some time
off, it appears that at least
there will be a greater degree
of cooperation and teamwork
between the various postal en-
ploye groups of legislative and
other matters than there has
been for a number of years.

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
I Shipley, AFGE Both Have Plans
i To Seek New Job Security Laws

LaFollette and Veterans Pref
erence Acts which protect civil
service employees from being
dismissed or penalized except
for cause based on evidence, by
juggling job classifications or
reclassifying a job out of ex-
IiStence.
Eve have had a number of
cases where this problem has
been an issue. 1t is very diff
cult for an employe to prove
that superior has reclassified
his job upward or downward to
get around his qualifications,
even though there is no ulti-
mate change in the duties per-
formed. We intend to call this
matter to the attention Of the
appropriate committees in Con-
gresS when the new sessions
commences in January Of 1865"
Age Plans Action
In a similar vein, the AFGE
announces it will also seek
legislation to protect employe
| job rights.
AFGE President John Griner
declared, when you come right
down it, job security means
more to employees than any pay
raise or anything else. What
good is pay or other benefits If
you have been unfairly removed
from your job"
Mr.. Griner said that agencies
are Systematically violating the
Lloyd-LaFollette and veterans
preference acts without the
Civil Service Commission being
able to do anything about it
AS an example. he citeo
agency practices of abolishine

don't like or want to replace

Gov. Mechem is a prime

STALE WHALE TALE

Arvin Midget of Manteo and
Orville Tillett of Wanchese re-
port that they have finally sue
ceeded in locating an animal
larger than they are. They are
referring to the whale which they
found while stirring up the wa
ters near Oregon Inlet on Monday
morning. The two clammers state
that the body looked like "a large
overturned boat" They hurried
to the scene in anticipation of a
booty-loot to discover that the
so #. long object was a whale.
Arvin said the mammal was
light tan in appearance and had
approximately 500 gulls over
head, who were about to descend
for a snack. It appeared to have
been dead for "Only a short
WHILE" according to Midget. The
two estimate that the huge body,
which appeared to have suffered
a collision with a ship, apparent
ly slipped through the Davis
Channel at night since ferry
crews and dredge operators have
given no indication of having
seen the denizen.
The body is located about one
mile southwest Of Oregon Inlet
in PamlicO Sound. The presence
of whales in the area at this time
of year is unusual as they usual
ly. confine their winter activity
to coincide with the herring and
menhaden runs.
