NFFE Seeks Curb
On Hiring
Retired Military
Congress and Presides! John F
Kennedy have been urged by the
National Federation of Federal
Employees to take prompt and ef
fective action to curb the increas
ing employment of retiring and re
tired military personnel m Federal
career civil service positions
Van* Over. President of the
N'FFfL has called to the attention
of Congress and the President that
this tread is resulting in many in
equities affecting long-time career
employees with resultant impact
upon morale and efficiency- that
it is contributing substantially to
the already serious national prob
lem of unemployment; and that
this situation is “a significant as
pect of the grave over-all problem
of the mounting use of military
personae! in civilian Federal po®
t;<cj a tread which is directly con
trary to fundamental American
traditions*"
In a letter Owen sent to the
Chairraenof the Senate and House
Armed Services and Post Office
and Civil Service Committees, he
pointed oot the urgent need for
remedial action He stated:
■"Attention is called to the fact
that in our proposal for a legisla
tive approach to the problem we
have suggested to the Congress
that legislation which would ban
the employment of retired military
personnel for civilian career posi
tions. as a matter of basic policy,
should include a provision that is
special cases of wer-riding na
tions! interest exceptions could be
made by order of the President.
"The whole problem is one of
increasing gravity, and it is rend
ered the more acute and pressing
now because of the high national
level of unemployment, and smce
the level of unemployment is likely
to remain disturbingly high for an
extended period as a result of tech
nological. economic, and other
factors
“’We believe active and sympa
thetic interest in this problem, and
steps toward early remedial action,
would be fully justified by your
Administration in the national in
terest"

Annual Bering Sea Patrol
Clothing Drive Begins
Looking for a way to get rid of
those <xd clothes, and at the same
time to do someone else a favour?
The Coast Guard wives are busy
collecting clothes for the Bering
Sea Patrol, due to start the latter
part of May when the Coast Guard
Cutter Storis aps anchor for its
northern trip Those not de
livered by the Storis will go aboard
the icebreaker North wind when
she relieves the Storis.
Among the ports of call made
last year were Tatitlek, False Pass,
Akutan. Cbernofski, Nikolski, Atka
and villages along the shores of the
Bering Sea as far north as Wain
wright and Pt. Lay. The North wind
carries a doctor, and a dentist who
attends to toothaches among the
village residents. This latter serv
ice is sometimes looked upon with
mixed feelings, even in retrospect,
as attested by a letter from a small
school boy who wrote, “Thank you
for the new pants you sent me. I
didn't like it when the dentist
pulled my tooth, but I like my
pants.” From a fourth grade boy
in Wainwrighi came thanks for
clothing, and word that be had had
his x-ray, "some of the people had
their teeth pulled out and we like
to see the helicopters and the
barges and the Coast Guard Cut
ter." Apparently every child in
school in every' village writes a
thank you letter for the clothing
and care he receives.
Warn clothing is especially wel
come, warm blankets and all other
kinds of wearable, clean clothing
— with the emphasis on clean.
Boxes are labelled according to ap
proximate sizes and types of
eiolbes contained, so they may be
distributed according to the great
est need. Wives of Coast Guard
personnel request that contribu
tions be made as soon as possible:
sorting and packing are time con
suming and must be completed at
an early date.
Clothing donations may be made
to any Coast Guard wife, or to the
following: Mrs. Thomas, phone
486—5193; Mrs. Langford, phone
486—2603; Mrs. Backe, phone 487
—3308; Mrs. Loboudger, phone 487
—5446.
