u. 5. Workers
Get 4-Day
YuIe Holiday
Executive Order
By President Is
Due in Few Days
BY JOSEPH YOUNG
star staff Writer


President Kennedy will issue
an executive order giving Gov
eminent employees a four-day
Christmas holiday.
With Christmas falling on a
Tuesday this year, Mr.. Kennedy
will declare Monday, December
"a, a legal holiday for Federal
workers.
This will give Government
workers a Saturday-throug
Tuesday holiday.
Monday, December "a, will
be a regular holiday and thus
will not be charged to annual
leave.
Administration officials said
the executive order will be is
sued within the next day or two.
No Holiday December 81
There will be no holiday de-
creed for Monday, December
81, the day before New Years
administration officials said.
Government workers who want
to use that day in order to get
a four-day New Years holiday
will have to use their annual
leave.
There Is precedent for Mr..
Kennedy's forthcoming action
in designating Monday, Decem-
Der "a, a holiday in Govern
ment.
The last time Christmas fell
on a Tuesday was in 1856.
President Eisenhower desig-
mated the preceding Monday a
holiday in order that Federal
workers could have a four-day
holiday. December 81 of that
year was a regular workday.
Designated by Truman
In 1861, when Christmas also
fell on a Tuesday, President
Truman also designated the
preceding day. as a holiday.
However, Federal workers
were required to work the fol-
lowing Saturday to make up
the day.
This caused so much admin
istrative confusion and legal
questions in regard to over
time and premium pay, that
MIR. Eisenhower five years
later dropped the requirement
that employees would have to
work the following Saturday
The Kennedy administration
is following the lead of the
Eisenhower administration in
not requiring employees to work
the Saturday following Christ
mas to make up for the Mon
day holiday.
In Virginia, Gov. Albertis S
Harrison, jr., announced that
December "a and December 81
both Mondays, will be State
holidays-good news for State
employees.

Text Of Castro Letter. Pose AS
Thant, Mr.. Castro offered TO
let Russia take back the bomb
ers if it wanted to. He said he
didn't want the planes because
they were old and too slow
Secretary of State Rusk said
it is too early yet to know what
value to put on Mr.. Castro's
offer. Mr.. Rusk took this watt
and-see attitude after all early
morning meeting at the White
House with President Kennedy
and other high officials.
May Be BreakthrOugh
Removal of the 80 or more
Jets could mark breakthrough
in stalled United States-Soviet
negotiations on a Cuban settle
ment. President Kennedy has
insisted the planes must go as
part of a Cuba deal with Soviet
Premier Khrushchev.
But the United States has
been holding Russia responsible
for the presence of the nuclear-
capable bombers in Cuba.
Therefore, United States Off
Gals said, the United States is
looking to the Russians-over
the bearded Cuban leaders
head-to indicate soon that the
bombers are going out.
Mr.. Kennedy is slated to talk
publicly about the Cuban sit
uation at a nationally broad
cast and televised news confer
ence at 6 o'clock tonight.
Authorities made it clear that
what Mr.. Kennedy says tonight
will be affected by any word
Tor lack of word-from the Rus
slams during the day about re-
moval of the bombers.
Examined Carefully
/ State Department officials
said the Castro letter would be
carefully examined to see
whether any unacceptable con-
ditions have been thrown in.
Mr.. Castro did not mention
anywhere in his letter the five
points for ending the crisis,
including evacuation of the
United States Guantanamo Bay
Naval Base, which he has been
demanding as the only means
of reaching a satisfactory
solution.
Authoritative sources re-
ported last Thursday that Mr..
Khrushchey had offered to
withdraw the bornbers. but had
attached so many conditions
that the proposal was unac-
ceptable to Washington.
Mr.. Castro's offer was ex-
lpected to be discussed by Soviet
and United States negotiators
at the U. N.

MR.. AND MRS. MIKLOS

the occasion of their formal
presentation to the State De-

Mr.. Sperling, a Hungarian

his audience when he told
why he had given them to the

"I like to recall 36 years

reached the shores of this
great country of ours" he
said. He came because he be-
lieved in freedom, liberty,
brotherhood and equality. BY
hard work as an engineer he
made the steps forward that
enabled him to have an art
collection of his own.

Later the handsome Mr..
Sperling, chairman of the
board of Merz Chambers
Corp. said he had been told
not to come to the United
States, that the age Of Henry
Ford was dead, that America
was no longer the land of
opportunity. But he came
anyhow in March, 1926,
armed only with his mechani-
cal engineering degree.
And I can say America is
still the land of opportunity.
If you work hard, are hon.
orable and know your busi-
ness you viii end up being

IN ACCEPTING THE
FINE PAINTINGS, Secretary
Rusk said, There are per-
haps some people in Indiana

most important event of this
week in Indiana is the 500
mile race tomorrow. We in
Washington have another
view. I know all of you, as 1
did, found the remarks we

He described the efforts
of the department to fur
nish its new entertainment
rooms to provide a suitable
historic atmosphere.
PraiSing the paintings as
treasures of art, he again
put in a humorous note.
People who worry about
strict protocol will say that
George Washington should
be on this side of the mantel,
he said pointing to his right
as he stood with his back to
the mantelpiece. But if he
were on that side he would
be looking away from Mar
tha," he explained and their
relations would not be very
diplomatic.
The paintings we're in the
