The Civil Service Commission
today sent to Congress proposed
legislation TO authorize Federal
agencies to pay travel expenses
for pre-employment interviews
of applicants for shortage
category Government jobs.
The proposal would authorize
agencies TO pay both per diem
and mileage costs connected
with visits to Federal installa-
tons for unemployment in
terviews by qualified applicants
as well as tentatively qualified
college applicants for shortage
category jobs.
The positions are mainly In
the scientific, engineering. tech
nical and professional fields.
The commission feels that
such authority would enable
the Government TO attract its
fun share OF top-quality appli-
cants In shortage occupations
such as science, engineering.
etc.
Agencies already have such
authority In non-civil service
Jobs as we'll as in Public Law

Jobs. The csc wants this
authority extended for all posi-
tons under civil service.
In its proposal 10 Congress,
the csc emphasized that Fed
eral laboratories and other key
offices and units must have
technically trained and highly
skilled employees for such crit
ical endeavors as medical re-
search, military preparedness
and space activities.

PROMOTION AND RETIRE
MENTS - Senator Magnuson,
d mocrat Of Washington,
chairman Of the Senate Appro-
priations Subcommittee on the
Independent Offices Bill, re-
minds Federal agencies that
his group will follow up on its
drive against agencies hiring
two employees in lower grades
every time an employe in q
top-grade Job retires.
Senator Magnuson and his
group cautioned against such
practices last year. declaring
that this two-for-one hiring
practice was one Of the main
reasons Federal employment
keeps increasing. He said some
agencies use the money that
went for the salary for one
upper-grade employe to hire
two in the lower Grades,
thereby proving the validity of
Parkinson's law.

Oppenheimer Gets Acc Prize
As U.S.. Moves TO Erase Stigma

~ NaAN NeoeNNhNeNN
DR.. j. Robert Oppenheimer,
leader Of the United States
atomic bomb development, was
named winner today Of the
$4,000 Ferrni Award by the
same government agency that
denied him access to secret
documents nine years ago be-
cause Of alleged association
with Communists.
The Atomic Energy Commits
sion's denial Of security clear
ance to DR.. Oppenheimer in
1854 became a controversial
issue in scientific circles.
Indications that the Ken
nedy administration wanted to
erase the stigma came last year
when DR.. Oppenheimer was in
vited to a White House dinner
for Nobel Prize winners.
The tax-free Fermi Award
given to the atomic physicist
is the Aces highest honor. 1t
raised the possibility that the
Government may ask DR.. OPP
penheimer to enter secret
atomic work again.
In making the award, the
Acc cited DIR. Oppenheimer for
his outstanding contributions
to theoretical physics and his
scientific and administrative
leadership :" No reference
was made to the earlier secur-
ity case.
At Princeton, where he Is d.
rector Of the Institute for Ad-
vanced Study, DR.. Open
heimer issued this statement
through his secretary:

opinion Of our colleagues and
to the good will and the con-
fidence Of our Government. !

An Acc spokesman said any
action to grant DR.. Open
heimer security clearance again
would have to be initiated by
DR.. Oppenheimer himself. II he
should request clearance and
show that he needed access to |
security information, the case
would be handled through reg
ular procedures, the spokesman
said.
Reports that Or. oppenheim-
er was to receive the award
were confirmed by an Acc
spokesman last night, and the
official statement came from
the commission today. Orig
inally it was reported that the
White House would make the
announcement.
Presidential Press Secretary
Pierre Salinger indicated there
will be q later ceremony at
which the President will pre-
sent the award as he has in the
past.

directed $500 workers at Los
Alamos, N. Mex, from 1943 to
1945 In designing, building and
testing the first atom bomb.
Two months after the first sue

DR.. Oppenheimer resigned.
Since 1897. he has been d.
rector Of the Institute for Ad-

INSTALL NEW MICRO
WAVE EQUIPMENT

High in the mountains, sixty-five
miles from Phoenix, a crew of
men are installing a microwave
system that will be vital to the
cities in the Salt River Valley. The
Salt River Project is installing a
solid state microwave system, the
first of it's kind in the nation, for
a utility.
The Project is costing more than
$3.50, 900. The new system will
bounce signals from the Projects
dispatcher's office located near
Tempe to a reflector atop Pinal
Peak, a distance of 67 miles by line
of sight. The complete system
covers ITO miles Of area.
The modern microwave com-
munications system is replacing a
5O-year-old telephone line linking
Salt River Dams. Due to the age
of the old galvanized iron wire
lines, the new system was chosen
Ito replace the pioneer telephone
facility.
Workmen are presently placing
| the last reflector. which will COM
plete the system to Horse Mesa
Dam. The Buckhorn reflector is
located high on the south end of
the our Peak mountain range. Sup
plies and men are currently being
flown in by helicopter.
The new system will be easy
to maintain and will be located
better for control during Civil De-
fense or other emergencies. The
old telephone line passes through
country so rugged that it would
take days to discover any break
in the communication system.
Use of helicopter was must
for the work as it would take
pack-horses months to carry in sup
plies that now take only two
weeks. The Buckhorn site is To-
Gated $500 feet above Apache Lake
in an area so rugged it would
take seven hours for employees to
reach it by horseback.
From the 5000 foot Pinal Peak,
signals are detected, amplified and
retransmitted to a billboard type
passive reflector located on the
mountains above Theodore Roose-
welt Dam. Signals bounce down
from the reflector to the dams
control house over $500 feet be-
low it in the canyon of Salt River.
/ Because of the bad weather in
the mountains, the dishes are pro-
tected by fiberglas radomes which
are heated electrically to reduce
the accumulation of ice and snow
on the radiating surface.
The system will not only be more
reliable, but will be of greater
value to the overall operations
of the Project. In addition, it will
be of great value during flood con-
ditions in and around the Salt Riv-
er Valley. The network of dams is
essential in operations to furnish
water and power to farms and
cities in the Salt River Valley and
to the mines in the Globe and
Hayden areas. Phoenix gets more
than $50 of its water from these
locations.
