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" Griffin Memorial Hospital Notes A son.

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.
