/: ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 21.-Sev-
eral State officials today urged
establishment of a State plan
for inSuring accounts in saw
1ngs and loan associations.
The only dissent to a bill be-
fore the General Assembly
came from a group of Federally
insured savings and loan associ-
.ations which said the bill is
''premature."
. Appearing at a public hear
ing before the House Judiciary
Committee, John F. Shriver,
head of a systematically ap-
pointed commission which
drafted the bill, said his COM
mission was unanimous in it's
belief that insurance should be
provided for State-chartered
associations. Mr.. Shriver is
head of the State Fiscal Re-
search Bureau.
/. Endorsement also came from
State Insurance Commissioner
r. Douglas Sears and Deputy
Banking Commissioner John
Hospelhorn.

SAIGON, South Wet Nam,
March 6 (AP).-South Wet
Namese forces using decisive
airpower scored two major VIC
tories over the Communist Wet
Cong in the past two days,
killing more than 100 Red guer-
rillas and wounding or captur-
ing hundreds more, officials of
President Ngo Dinh Diem's
government said today.
United States Army hell
copters with American crews
supported the followup of one
operation and United States

'vided the knockout punch for
the other, the officials said.
The reported military sue
cesses are understood to be
South Wet Mans biggest of the

three straight setbacks for the

OPTIMISTIC Secretary of
Labor Goldberg told the rally
that he felt a satisfactory So
luton on pay can be effected.
IF everyone keeps their
head, I'm sure that We'll come
out all right" Mr.. Goldberg
said.
The Secretary commended
the NALC for inviting manage
ment officials to address the
pay rally, even though their
views differ from the unions.
This is very rare in
industry" Mr.. Goldberg said.
Most unions don't invite
management officials to meet
ings to state their views on
pay, and in instances when they
do very few employees accept
the invitation"
Other speakers will be ALL
CLIO President George Meany
and Civil Service Commission
Chairman John Macy.
Mr.. Meany pledged the
AFL-CIO's all-out support in
behalf of adequate pay raises
for postal workers and lower
salaried Federal employees. Mr..
Macy defended the administra-
tons pay proposal, saying that
it would benefit all Government
and postal workers.
Mr.. Doherty, whose NALC is
the largest union in Govern
ment, declared that his men,
bers are not opposed for size
able pay raises for top bracket
Government employees. In fact,
he said, they support it. But
the NALC will fight for decent
pay raises" for its members and
other postal and low-salaried
Federal workers to enable them
to maintain an adequate
standard of living for them
selves and their families, he de-
clared.
Mr.. Doherty alluded to the
political power of the NALC
when he declared that it's mem
bers are very expert 'in ringing
doorbells and knocking on
doors"

The two government victories
and the Wet Cong successes
last week in the southern and
Mekong delta provinces suggest
the war in South Wet Nam is
entering a new phase.
The Wet Cong is massing in
battalion strength for the first
time since last fall, and the
government is hitting back
hard, assisted by the mobility
of airpower.
So far no victories have been
recorded on either side that
could be considered decisive.
But military observers here
consider this new direct contact
between opposing forces is
highly favorable to the govern

Col. Glenn commented as he
got off the plane.
Changes Planned
With him were Donald Stay

make the next orbital flight:
Walter Williams, Project Mer-
curry operations director, and
DR.. William Douglas, the as
tronauts' personal physician.
Maj. Slayton's mission also
is scheduled for three orbits,
and he will be working closely
with Col. Glenn in the next
few weeks. His flight tenta-
lively is slated for sometime in
May. Project Mercury officials
have been carefully plotting
changes prompted by Col.
Glenn's ride of 4 hours Sc min
utes.
Col. Glenn's observations will
bear greatly on what changes
are made. OF particular in
terest viii be the malfunction
IN his capsules automatic at
titude control system. This
fault forced Col. Glenn to take
partial manual control of the
vehicle, for most of the last two
orbits, preventing him from
carrying out several expert
ments he had hoped to try in
his cramped, weightless world.
Films Studied
Col. Glenn outlined his
initial views of the February
20 flight at a two-day debrief-
ing session on Crank Turk
Island. In the next few days,
engineers, scientists, doctors
and psychologists will question
him further.
Col. Glenn will study films

Top Government officials
have dropped hints that the
Kennedy administration prob
ably would not object to Con-
gress increasing somewhat the
amount of pay raises proposed
for postal workers and lower
salaried Federal classified en-
ployes.
The officials spoke at the
giant pay rally yesterday at the
Statler-Hilton Hotel sponsored
by the National Association Of
Letter Carriers.
More than 1000 letter carrier
delegates from NALC branches
in every State filled the large
presidential ballroom, an ad-
joining room and spilled out
into the Statler's corridors.
Today the letter carriers go to
the Capitol to line up the sup
port of their Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress on be-
half of the Morrison bill which
would give a 10 per cent raise
to- postal workers.
The pay-raise rally returns
to- the Statler tomorrow for its
conclusion. Key members of
Congress who have sponsored
pay-raise bills will speak.
While the NALC leadership
really doesn't expect a 10 per
cent postal pay raise this year,
it feels that it will get con-
siderably more from Congress
than the deferred over all
three-year total 7.9 per cent
increase proposed by the ad-
miniStration.
On the other hand, PreSi-
dent Kennedy and administra-
ton officials, who are ex-
tremely anxious to win
enactment of their Federal pay
reform bill, which would give
stable increases to top Gov
eminent professional, scientific
and managerial personnel l.,
realize that some trading will
have to be done in order to
gain their objective.
Therefore, a pay raise for
postal workers and lower
aried Federal workers somewhat
larger than proposed by the
administration, and effective
this year instead of January /,

three year period, appears in
the cards.
SAME DIRECTION-Admin-
istration officials stressed that
the administration and the en-
ploye organizations are in
agreement on the principle of
a raise.
However, NALC President
William c. Doherty, who pre-
sided at the rally, declared
there was a considerable gull
between what the administra-
ton was proposing and what
the postal workers felt they had
a right to expect.
Postmaster General Day told
the NALC rally This is the
first time that a national ad-
miniStration has taken the ini-
tiative in proposing pay legisla-
ton of this magnitude and
comprehensivenesS."
Assistant Postmaster General
for Personnel Richard Murphy
said he was sure" that the diff
ferences between the admins
tration and the NALC "can be
resolved.
Mr.. Murphy said both the
administration and the NALC
were going in the same direc-
ton" on the pay question and
that the differences weren't
great enough not to be resolved
Mr.. Murphy said the Presi-
dents proposal that Federal
salaries be reviewed every year
based on Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics comparable industry fig
ures starting with fiscal year
1864, means in all likelihood
that "the pay increases actually
received will surpass those fig
ures cited in the President
proposals as it now stands"
He declared this will occur il

in its present direction-"and
there is every indication it will

same points, adding that FOL

ministration has taken the

The wrecked portion of the
pier was used for a water circus,

A part of the municipal pier
at Ventnor, N. j., also was
washed away.
Snow to Continued
The forecast for most areas
on the northeastern seaboard
called for heavy snowfall to
continue through the day and

Train and bus travellers had
their troubles, along with
motorists, in many sections. So
did ferryboat passengers in New

Commuters bound for work
in New York City during the
morning rush hour were de-

of the Long Island Railroad
because high winds blew down
power cables at one point. The

hour.
Ferries linking Manhattan
with New Jersey and Staten
Island were halted or delayed
at times.
A large tree was blown across
the Pennsylvania Railroads

This tied up service for an hour

Planes Are Delayed
At New York's Idlewild Air

Strange Things

an art gallery was opened to the public. For more than a week, thousands of people viewed the gallery of paintings. One painting seemed to be of great attraction. People looked at 1t from different angles, some of them with head down, looking up. A few days later, 1t was discovered that the painting was indeed hung up- side down.
