Your Federal Job

WASHINGTON, "lay 3 31 The S Senate Appropriations Committee has voted to reject the Housé-approved use-it-

or-lose-it leave rider, which

would prohibit federal em-

ployees from accumulating unused annual leave.

That makes it likely the Senate will follow suit and throw hel final decision Into a House-Senate conference committee, Sen. Burnet R. Maybank (D,| 8. C.), chairman of the Independent Offices Appropriations Sub-| committee, said committee re-| jection of the rider was based on! the belief it would cost government millions annually.

‘WASHINGTON, May 31—The!

,of war on Koje Island never had

it so good before.

The Geneva Convention—which this country has pledged itself to follow—is tailor-made for the Red incorrigibles. Under the pact, the United Nations command is forbidden to mete out any effective punishment to the POW’s—

“a faet well known and cynically

, exploited by the captives.

The Convention provides the only discipline against the POW’s must be on a par with punishment’ given troops in the captors’ own army. But the pact forbids any collective punishment of prisoners for individual acts, confinement in dark. quarters, or

Here are some other provisions of the Convention:

Officers must be treated “with due regard to their rank”—they must be paid by their captors and

they can’t be forced to work.

Noncoms may not be compelled to labor but they may be required

This is an important provision {because of the rhubarb over the forcible return of all POW’s.

Ad In all such matters, the Communists use the Geneva Convention for propaganda.

Operation Saves : Babies With Defect

WASHINGTON, May 31— An operation which can save. half or more of babies otherwise doomed to die soon after birth was reported by Drs. Brian B. Blades, Edward J.

The bables being saved by this operation are those born with a defect of the esophagus, or food passage.
