In a long-awaited decision,
the United States Court of
Claims has reaffirmed the right
Of retired reserve military Of
ficers who are Government
civilian employees to receive full
military retirement and civilian
Job pay.
The Justice Department had
asked the court to restrict the
combined retirement salary
earnings Of these employees to
the $4,000 annual limit of the
dual compensation law.
The department wanted the
court to overrule its 1854 de-
cision which granted dual COM
pensation exemption to retired
reserve officers who take Gov
ernment civilian jobs.
Request Ignored
However, in its decision
handed down last week in the
test case of Glen P. Grandall
versus the United States, the
court ignored the request.
The present dual compesa-
tion law limits regular military
officers retired for disability to
a combined retired pension and
civil service pay of $4,000 an
nually. Regulars retired for
length of service are not per-
mitted to take any Government
job, except in special cases, :
The Justice Department had
insisted that reserve officers re-
tired for longevity were never
meant to be exempt from dua
compensation restrictions anc
should be treated like the
others. However, the court dis
agreed.

You think it's easy to land National

Strangely enough, in his other

outs.

Mantle, put out of action
for four weeks by a torn thigh
muscle and knee injury, started
in the outfield for the fifth
straight game and although
Mickey still shows signs of a
recuperating casualty, Houk
was enthusiastic about his
progress. Mantle singled once
in four trips, giving him one
hit in each of the five games
at Detroit.
BY taking three of five from
the Tigers, the Yankees closed
out an improbable road trip
on a winning note. They
started out by being swamped

batting order against Detroit
Lefty Don MoSSi and in the
process benched home run king

was made to rest Maris, not
because of his .243 batting
average and low smuggling pro-
duction, and later inserted him
as a defensive replacement for
Mantle in rightfield IN the
ninth inning.
Meanwhile, the rightly swing
ers did the job against Mossi-
utilizing the bunt as their main
weapon. Phil Linz squeeze bunt
brought in the games first run

Nips Top Seed
AT Wimbledon

turned in the biggest shock of
the Wimbledon tennis cham
| pionships today when she
ouSted top-seeded Margaret
Smith Of Australia, Ia. 6-3,
rs, before a crowd Of 5000.
Miss Smith, rated the best
woman player in the world,
previously had won the Aus
tralian and French titles and,
like her countrypnan Rod Law
er. was shooting for a grand
slam"
The sturdy Australian girl
had been favored to add VIM
bledon and the United States
championship at Forest Hills
to her triumphS.
Confident Returns
After dropping the first set,
the 18-year-old Californian
steadied her backcourt game.
She handled Miss Smiths
power with confident returns
and soon took charge of the
match.
The third set was bitterly
fought, but the plucky Miss
Moffitt never gave ground.
Wimbledon veterans started
thumbing through the record
books to find out whether the
top seed ever before had been
knocked out on opening day.
Miss Moffitt was not re-
garded as the United States
best hope in the women's divi-
sion. This honor was accorded
to Darlene Hard of Montebello.

States champion and No. 3
seed. Miss Hard won her

set with her strong service and

In the second set, Miss Moi
fit fought back tenaciously,
r retrieving every ball and
struggling for every point. Her
doggedness seemed to disturb
Miss Smith, who apparently
figured on a runaway.
The turning point came in
the second game of the second
set when Miss Moffitt produced
two brilliant passing shots to
break Miss Smiths service.

Bridges finished, giving up one
