raising speech several months
ago, voiced no objection to the
Presidents appearance in be-
half Of Representative Sidney
r. Yates. the Illinois Demo-

"Mr. Kennedy is his party's
leader" Senator Dirksen said.
There are certain things a
President has to do for his
party and this seems to be one
of them"
Mr.. Kennedy. who has had
staunch support from Senator
Dirksen on foreign policy mat
terS, generally is regarded as
reluctant to go all-out for the
Republican leaders opponent.
1t apparently is Mr.. Kennedy's
feeling that important inter-

The Civil Service Commission
has started two studies of ex-
treme Importance to Federal
employees regarding their retire.
ment and life insurance bene-
fits.
One study is the periodic five
year evaluation of the civil
service retirement system.
Since the fund has an ac-
tuarial deficit of $32 billion
which continues to increase this
year, the csc study is particu-
larly important this time since
it is designed to see what steps
should be taken to more ade-
quately finance the fund.
Increased Government con-
tributions eventually will be
necessary if the fund isn't to &c
broke by 1880. The most ef-
fective means of doing this will
be part Of the study. The ques-
ton of employe contributions
also will be studied.
However. since employees al
ready contribute 612 per cent
of their salaries for retirement
benefits, it is not likely thai
any proposal to raise employt
contributions would be seriously
considered.
The second study concerns
the life insurance program. Un'
der the present rate of employe
Government joint premium con
tributions, the outlay Is start
iI1s to exceed the expenditures
The csc wants to determine

reference:
In each of the three letters
from the Oklahoma State ad-

are made as to the validity of
the transactions involved but
these letters were not made
available to the Pecos and
Reeves County committees.
1T was felt that the county

in each case and deciding on
whether or not the transaction
was valid and bona fide. The
county office managers in each
county advised that they did
not receive any information
from the Oklahoma county Of

whether the county committees

lotments.
