Johnson Gets Off Track
In Space Appraisal

Vice President johnson gave
"a hurried - and somewhat
blurred-appraisal Of the Ma
tons space program last night
The Vice President, titular
head Of the space effort as
chairman Of the National
Aeronautics and Space Council,
spoke at a ceremony honoring
Astronaut John H. Glenn, jr.,
at the National Guard Armory.
In his remarks Mr.. johnson
made four statements about the
space program which proved
to be in error.
The statements and the facts:
!. Already we are working
on a plan-the Gemini Pro-
gram-to transfer men orbiting
hundreds of miles out in space
from one vehicle to another" :"
Fact: Gemini includes no
plans for transferring men be-
tween vehicles.
2. "Only three years ago we
began the space program with
5000 million. In the current

fiscal year, the national out
lay will reach $3.1 billion.
President Kennedy seeks $5.5
billion for this program for the
fiscal year beginning July"
Fact: The official budget
document made public In jan
uary shows page 72) approx
mately $3.8 billion as the
planned outlay for fiscal 1868.
3. I'm 1861, Tiros w kept
track of five hurricanes in the
Atlantic and nine Pacific ty-
phoons.
Fact: Tiros w was launched
February 8, 1862.
4. United States navigation
satellites are guiding ships at
sea tonight, regardless Of their
national registry"
Fact: The Navy's Transit
program is an experimental
and not an operational system,
and the Navy publishes nc
navigation tables, based on
Transit satellites.

Three Of the 10 top-ranking
career ambassadors In the
United States Foreign Service
are among more than 100 career
diplomats expected to retire be-
fore May 81, but administra-
ton officials are confident no
stampede" p d has developed
to take advantage of special
retirement benefits.
Foreign Service officers ell
gible for retirement can get a
II per cent higher retirement
allowance II they leave by
May 81.
Counting career ministers
and diplomats of Foreign Serv-
ice Officer-1 rank, more than
100 retirements are expected,
but the exact number can't be
known until the May 81 dead
line. Among these are at least
four other ambassadors now
serving abroad.
Three Top Retirees
The three permanent-rank,
career ambassadors expected to
retire are:
Ellis o. Briggs, who has
served as a m b a assador to
Greece, Brazil, Peru. Korea,
Czechoslovakia, Uruguay and
the Dominican Republic. He
recently was forced by illness
to withdraw from his assign
ment as ambassador to Spain.
Now 81, he is being treated at
Johns Hopkins University Hos
pital in Baltimore for hepati-
tbs and is expected to retire,
either voluntarily or for physi-
cal disability.
Livingston Merchant, SO, for
mer Deputy Undersecretary of
State for Political Affairs and
now ambassador to Canada,
who wishes to return to WASH
ington for family reasons. His
resignation was announced by
the White House yesterday.
Appoints Three Ambassadors
H. Freeman Matthews, So,
now ambassador to Austria and
formerly the top American rep
resentative in the Netherlands
and Sweden. He also served as
Deputy Undersecretary of State
from 1850 to 1858.
Evening star., 1962-04-10

The normal number Of career
ambassadors in the American
Foreign Service is seven. In
anticipation Of the retirement
of three, President Kennedy
has appointed three new career
ambassadors: w. Walton But
terworth who has been United
States representative of the Eu-
ropean communities, Walter
Dowling. ambassador to Ger
many and Frances E. Willis,
ambassador to Ceylon.
Four other career ambassa-
doris are staying on. They are
Charles E. Bohlen, special as
sistant to the Secretary of
State for Soviet Affairs, Lie
wellyn Thompson, ambassador
to Moscow, Raymond Hare,
ambassador to Turkey, and
James e. Riddleberger, who has
been assigned most recently to
the Department Of State but
previously served as ambassa-
dor to Yugoslagia and Greece
and chief Of the International
Cooperation Administration In
the Eisenhower administration.
Two at FSI Leaving
The top two career diplomats
at the Foreign Service Insti-
tute in Arlington also are re-
firing. according to Washing
ton informants.
Carl Strom, career minister
who has served as ambassador
to Korea, Cambodia and Boli-
via, has been director Of the
Foreign Service Institute.

appears to be that the re-
quirement for detailed financial
reporting to the Labor Depart
ment would pose too many
problems for both the Labor
Department and the. unions
It's felt that as long as the
unions are required to make
detailed financial accounts to
their memberships the same
purpose will be served.
Regarding court action
against unions in undemocratic
procedures, the feeling is that
the Government would be in
the position of having to act
against the unions and this
would be unwarranted inter-
ference. Under Landrum- Grit
fin such court action cannot
be initiated by the employer
but only by the employees in
volved. It's felt that the fact
that Federal agencies will be
involved in the dealings with
unions will result in democratic
union procedures.
The code of conduct will
require Government unions to
adhere to ethical and demo-
cratic standards. Since each
other department and agency
has the right to deny recogni-
tion to a group if it feels that
it fails to live up to minimum
standards Of conduct, this in
itself would be a guarantee of
proper conduct on the part of
unions, administration officials
feel. There never has been q
charge of union corruption
against Government unions.
At the same time, the en-
ploye groups, particularly the
postal employe unions, will be
happy that strict financial ac-
counting of expenditures to the
Labor Department will not be
required. It's no secret that the
unions spend lots of money in
lobbying activities on Capitol
Hill and this could be embar-

In accepting the Hubbard

BY JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer

The Kennedy administration
tentatively has decided against
requiring Government employe
unions to file detailed financial
reports to the Labor Depart
ment and subjecting them to
court action for undemocratic
union procedures as required
for industrial unions under the
Landrum-G Griffin Act.
The Landrum-Griffin Act
exempts Federal employe
unions from these require
mentS.
However. in issuing his ex-
ecutive order giving formal
recognition and bargaining
rights to the Government en-
ploye unions, President Ken
nedy directed the Labor De-
partment and the Civil Service
Commission to draw up a code
of conduct for Federal employe
unions. A code of fair labor
practices for Government
agencies also is being compiled.
The original task force rec
concentrations which led to
Mr.. Kennedy's issuance of the
labor management executive
order indicated that Federal
employe unions should be sub
ject to the same type Of super
vision and control that indus
trial unions are subject to un-
der Landrum-G Griffin.
Industrial unions must file
periodic statements with the
Labor Department detailing
their expenditures. Also, union
members are entitled to pro-
lection and remedial action
from the Federal courts when
they feel undemocratic union
procedures are being used
against them.
The original thinking Of ad.
ministration officials was tc
apply the same type of re-
quirements to Government EN-.
ploye unions.

Resolution
On Raids Hif
By Ben-Gurion

JERUSALEM, Israeli Sector,
April 10 (AP).-Israel viii not
tolerate Syrian aggression in
the Sea Of Galilee area" Prime
Minister David Ben-Gurion
warned today.
The Sea Of Galilee, Mr.. Ben
Gurion told Parliament, is en-
tirely within Israel's boundaries
and Israel will not tolerate any
interference there.
Mr.. Ben-Gurion termed yes
terday's United Nations Sc
curity Council resolution on
the Israel Syrian clash Of
March 16 "an insult to Israel,
undermining the principles of
the U. N. Charter for sovereign
equality" The resolution CEN
sured Israel for attacking Sy-
rian positions east Of the sea.
Sees Double Standard"
He charged the Security
Council resolution applied a
double standard" Israel will
not give up its right of self
defense granted under the U.
N. Charter, Mr.. Ben-Gurion
said. Israel says the attack
was made to destroy Syrian
gun positions that had been
firing on Israeli fishermen in
the Sea of Galilee.
"The Security Council res
olution virtually means en-
couragement to further anti
Israel aggression" Mr.. Ben
Gurion said.
Israel will use all means at
its disposal If any of its neigh
bors try to encroach again upon
its territory" Mr.. Ben-Gurion
added.
Israeli newspapers also crit
icized the U. N. resolution and
one, Maariv Of Tel Aviv, de-
clared Syria again is concen-
trating troops on the frontier.
Reaffirms 1856 Stand
The United States-British
resolution, adopted in New York
yesterday. reaffirmed a 1856
declaration condemning re-
taliatory raids by Israel against
her Arab neighbors. It said
the March attack was a flag
rant violation Of this declara-
tion and demanded that Israel
refrain from such action in the
future.
Several Israeli papers praised
France for abstaining in the
vote of the 1t-nation council.
The resolution, with Russian
backing, was approved 100.
