homemaker and late last
summer she and her son,
Jimmy covered walls and
ceiling of living-dining room
with sheetrock then painted
walls a delicate green and
ceilings white. Against this
lovely background the rooms
glowed with beautiful furni-
ture, soft lights, yellow and
white chrysanthemums on
the lace draped table and an
exquisite arrangement of
dried grasses and berries or
the buffet.
For the devotion, Mrs. B..
D. Melton read a beautiful
poem and said an inspiring
prayer.
Installation of officers was
omitted since the 1862 officers
will serve again in 1868.
The program, "Plans for
Christmas" was given in
three parts, preceded by a
short talk by Miss Harpole on
the selection of gifts.
Mrs. w. E. Hill discussed
the making of gifts and dis
played beautifully embroid-
ed aprons and tufted and
shocked pillows.
Mrs. Boyce, from Yazoo
Valley REA, showed many
slides indicating the effective
ness of lights, both white and
colored, for outdoor as well
as indoor Christmas decora-
] ton. She displayed some new
type bulbs which are white
in day and colored at night.
Mrs. Marvin Cade discussed
Christmas foods from a deco
rative as well as nutritive
standpoint. She demonstrate
ed with a dessert of divinity
Christmas trees trimmed with
small red and green candies,
and jello salad nodded in
candle shape with sliced
pineapple or colored apple
slice as a base. These were
two of several attractive sug-
gestions.
Mrs. Alexander's recreation
was guessing the names of
foods advertised by pictures.
The prize, fragrant busting
powder, was won by Mrs.
Boyce.
Mrs. Truitt, assisted by
Mrs. Shepherd, served a de-
licious dessert course. AS the
guests departed with many
expressions of appreciation,
this remark was heard again
and again 1--WE always have
such a good time at Eliza
beth's"

ENDORSEMENT - Mean
while, Federal and postal en-
ploye pay raise legislation has
received a powerful indorse-
ment from the non-partlsan
business supported National
Civil Service League.
The league urged substantial
pay increases for Federal
careeristS as well as for cabi-
net members and other ap-
pointive officials and members
of Congress. The league said
members of Congress and cabi-
net officers should have their
pay raised to $35, 900 a year,
with other Government salaries
increased in proportion.

PRESIDENTS PLAN - As
reported in our later editions
yesterday. President Kennedy
in his budget message asked
Congress to enact Federal clas-
Sified and postal employee pay
raise legislation on a three-year
annual installment basis start
ing January l, 1868. Mr.. Ken
nedy said he will submit his
formal proposal soon, although
he did state that the highest
percentage increases should go
to those in the top salary
brackets.
LABOR POLICY - In his
budget message, President Ken
nedy declared that Government
departments and agencies must
pay careful attention to the
views of employees and their
organizations" He noted that
: his new Government labor
management executive order is
, intended to bring this about.

Washington police have ar
rested two men and a woman

ing to police.

was in connection with Mr.. Nc
Cones treatment of ten scien-
lists of the California Institute
Of Technology who in 1856
called for a moratorium on
nuclear testing. Mr.. McCone
wrote a letter taking exception
to the scientists views, which
he said, were obviously de-
signed to create fear in the
minds Of the uniformed that
radioactive fallout from H
bomb tests endangers life.
Senator Mccarthy said at
had been reported" that Mr..
McCone. a trustee of the insti-
tute, had demanded that the
10 scientists be fred.
He said he did not know
whether it is true or not, but
that the committee should in
quire about the matter.
At least one member of the
committee, Senator Symington,
Democrat of Missouri, said he
found Senator McCarthy's APP
pearance somewhat unique.
Lauded by Symington
Senator Symington'S investi-
cations had convinced him that
there has never been a better
public servant in Washington"
than Mr.. McCone.
The nominee listened to him
impassively.
1--WE have heard a lot of
chatter about academic free
DOM" said Senator Syming-
ton with great briSkness. you
were a trustee and you had a
certain responsibility and you
wrote a letter saying you dis
agreed with these men and you
did not ask they be discharged.
Senator Symington congratu-
lated President Kennedy for
nominating such an excellent
man to be his No. spy.
Later the committee gave in
formal approval to Mr.. Nc
Cones nomination. Formal vote
was deferred until Monday, but
the Associated Press reported
that a substantial majority OF
the committee would indorse
the millionaire industrialist
for his third high-ranking gov
ernmental post. Full Senate
confirmation is expected with
little dissent.

:, President Kennedy has asked

In his 1868 fiscal budget
message, Mr.. Kennedy urged
legislation to assure that the
net accumulated employe con-
tributions to the retirement
system be maintained at all
times. He also asked for au-
thorization to maintain a per-

as stipulated by law without
reducing the fund below this

THE QUIET SPY
BY MARY McGRORY
Star Staff Writer


What are the qualifications
for the Nations No. l spy?
Should he, for instance, look
like one?
John A. McCone, the Presi-
dents nominee to be director
of the Central Intelligence
Agency, does not. This of
course, could be plus, since
it might confuse the enemy. No
one looking at Mr.. McCone's
open face, his white hair and
brown eyes, would ever suspect
him of trying to decipher in
visible writing or following
someone down a dark street.
Appearance Of Executive
Sitting stiffly before the Sem
ate Armed Services Committee
in his dark blue suit at his
confirmation hearings, he
looked like the successful bust
ness executive he once was.
Mr.. McCone does not move
his lips when he talks. Nor does
he talk much. He didn't volun-
teer a thing to the Senators.
When they asked him questions
which in other nominees would
have set off a Fourth of July
grafton, he said in his tight
Tipped fashion that he would
prefer not to comment, except
possibly in executive session.
But a spy shows his stuff,
not by what he says himself
but by what he gets other peo-
pie to tell him, and the meet
ing in the Armed Services Com
mittee Room did not give Mr..
McCone any opportunities along
that line.
New to the Field
Should a spy be an old hand
or natural" newcomer? That
question came up, and Mr.. Nc
Cone said frankly he had no
experience in intelligence and
investigation work, which, con-
sidering some of the recent mis-
haps of the agency he will head,
might be all to the good.
Still he seems to lack the
natural curiosity which might
be considered essential in the
spy game. When Senator Mar
garet Chase Smith, Republican
of Maine, asked him who had
recommended his appointment,
Mr.. McCone said he did not
know.
This would indicate, at least,
that Mr.. McCone, a serious 60
year old, pays no heed to
Washington gossip, which had
it that he owes his present
job to the Presidents brother,
Attorney General Robert F.
Kennedy, who headed a special
committee to investigate the
CHA after the Cuban misad-
venture.
McCarthy's View
Senator Mccarthy, Democrat
of Minnesota, who is not a
member of the Armed Service
Committee, which must decide
If McCone fills the bill as the
Nations No. / spy, had an idea
of what such a super-spy
should be.
Said Senator Mccarthy: HE
should be a man who is self
possessed, restrained and de-
tached."
Senator Mccarthy suggested
to members of the committee
that since the Congress can
know nothing about the Central
Intelligence Agency, it should
know everything possible about
the man who runs it. He is
sued an invitation to the COM
mittee to consider the whole
character of Mr.. McCone.
Discuss 1856 Issue
The committee did not re-
spond favorably to Senator
McCarthy's statement, which
he called "a paper, betraying
his academic background. The
most serious question he raised

months, Mrs. Hartman was
serving in France in a hos
pital behind the British front
lines.
Members of the corps were
required to take courses in
advanced first aid and
stretcher, and they had to
qualify as mechanics.
During the '20s, the motor
service declined, as the need
for it lessened. With the ad-
vent of World War II, their
services were once more re-
quired, which made up-to-
date training necessary. On
the night of December 7,
they evacuated 5000 civilians
from the bombed areas
