THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
[[ Controller General Rules Out Plan
To Raise Daily Travel Allowance
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Star Staff Writer
The Controller General has
cracked down on the Air Force’s
plan to pay its employes,
travel allowances of up to 830
a day. The Government’s regu
lar maximum daily travel al
lowance is |l6.
Controller General Joseph
Campbell ordered the Air Force
to cancel its newly drafted reg-1
ulations which would have
permitted higher travel allow
ances by establishing certain
high cost areas throughout the
country.
The decision, (B-150217) is
important, since other Govern
ment agencies were watching
Air Force’s move and would
have gone ahead with similar
plans to pay up to 830 a day
expenses had it been approved
by the Controller General.
Under the law of several
years ago establishing 816 as
the maximum daily travel
amount, there is a provision
that allows a daily travel pay
ment of up to 830 in unusual
and extraordinary cir
cumstances.
On this basis. Air Force con
ducted cost-of-living surveys
and set up to 830 a day al
lowances in cities when it
found higher living costs.
The Controller General, how
ever. found this illegal. He said
the provision in the law per
mitting a 830 daily allowance
was intended to be applied only
on an individual basis when
highly unusual and extraordi
nary circumstances arose in
connection with an employe's
trip.
He declared that neither the
Air Force nor any other Gov
ernment department had the
right to set up regular travel
allowances above 816 a day
based on cost-of-living high
cost areas designated by them.

Mr. Thomas told CSC Chair

Such sentiments being heard

Years ago, apparently, it was a

Cracked hard-boiled eggs were

Granfather’s eyes than they are

Through the years, the
smashing has become far and
away the most popular part of
the rite, with a recent, sinister
twist—not all the eggs are
hardbolled before the contests.
This makes for messy young

the days following the egg roll
trying to flush egg yolks and
whites out of the grass.

LUNCH ON THE RUN—The
United States Court of Claims
has ruled that Federal employes
who have no assigned lunch
periods and eat their lunch
while on duty, are not to be
(charged for this time against
any overtime they work.
The case involved civilian se
curity guards at the Norfolk
Naval Shipyard. They were re
quired to report for work 15
minutes each day before their
regular workday. The Govern
ment agreed that they were en
titled to 15 minutes overtime a
day, but said this should be
offset against the time taken
by them for their meals. Be
cause of the nature of their
duties, they were not given reg.
ular lunch periods.
The court rejected the Gov
ernment's contention, declaring
that since the employes were
deprived of regular lunch per
iods, It would be “manifestly
unsound” to charge them for
ithe time they spent in eating
their lunch while on duty.
A non-compensable lunch
period is an off-duty period,
somethin* which these em
ploye* did not and could not
have owing to the nature of
their duties, the court said.

Ten Freedom Riders to Get
Hearing by Supreme Court
By DANA BULLEN
Star Staff Writer
The Supreme Court today
agreed to review the conviction
of 10 Freedom Riders on un
lawful assembly charges grow
ing out of a 1961 attempt to
desegregate an airport restau
rant at Tallahassee. Fla.
The ten, mostly clergymen
from Northern cities, and in
cluding three Negroes, were on
a tour of Southern cities when
arrested and fined 1500 each,
the maximum sentence.
In appealing to the high
court, they argued that the
convictions violated rights of
freedom of speech and assem
bly, due process and equal pro
tection of the law.
The City of Tallahassee ar
gued that they had refused to
disperse after it “became ap
parent” their continued pres
ences might “Incite a riot.”
Court Issues Order
In its order, the Supreme
Court directed counsel to pre
pare argument on the question
of whether conviction of the
10 was supported by adequate
State law.
In other action, the high
court ruled that courts may
not hold up proposed railroad
rate changes while Interstate
Commerce Commission pro
ceedings drag on and the new
rates otherwise would go into
effect.

that this section is designed to
avoid accusations that the
arrested man was held incom
municado.
That in any case, not more
than six hours can elapse be
tween the time of arrest and
the preliminary hearing. Mr.
Acheson said that this six-hour'
period will give the police time
to question the defendant, to
confront him with other wit
nesses, and to make further in

crimes.
That the questioning, the
warning and the advice required
to be given to the defendants
shall, whenever reasonably pos
sible, be witnessed by a person
who is not a law enforcement
officer or transcribed verbatim

means.

Mr. Acheson said that this
section is particularly Important
because the courts will have a
detailed record of the ques
tioning procedure. With this
record. Mr. Acheson said, the
courts will be able to determine
if the confession was voluntary

[Congress has given the ICC
| exclusive power to suspend
such proposed rate changes.
The case involved rate re
ductions proposed by the rail
roads for grain shipments from
Ohio and Mississippi River
points to southern destinations
using new, larger freight cars.
Competing barge-line inter
ests claim the rail rate cuts
would ruin them. A Federal
court, upheld by the sth Cir
cuit Court of Appeals, had
ruled it lacked Jurisdiction to
hold up the reductions after
an ICC suspension period ex
pired.
, Sees Death Knell
Justice Clark, joined by
Chief Justice Warren and Jus
tice Black in dissenting opinion,
said today's action "sounds the
death knell to barge transpor
tation on the Tennessee River.”
The dissenters said the appro
priate Federal court should
have power to enjoin such rate
changes temporarily where a
competing carrier will be de
stroyed and others will suffer
heavy injury before an admin
istrative proceeding is termi
nated.
While the Supreme Court
was considering today’s case, a
three-man ICC panel allowed
railroad rate cuts of up to 62
per cent. However, the Com

In other action today, the

1. Ruled, 9-0, that a suit to

board’s decision could be main

Justice White said the ad
justment board procedure was
provided for in a labor-man
agement contract as away for

The case involved discharge
of six individual workers by
Central Airlines, Inc., in 1959
after they refused to attend

2. Agreed to review dismissal
by a Federal judge in Miami,
Fla., of kidnaping and aircraft
piracy charges against two
men accused of forcing a pilot
at gunpoint to fly them to
Cuba in a 4-place Cessna 172.
Judge Emett C. Choate threw
out the charges against David
T. Healy and Leonard M. Oeth
for failure to allege offenses
under kidnaping and aircraft
piracy statutes. He said the
highjacking was not for pecu
niary gain and did not involve

The Government appealed
from his ruling. The Incident
took place in April, 1962. An

the game on East Capitol street
and Kenilworth avenue and at
least one parent of a victim
also was attacked when he at
tempted to talk' to suspected
youths.
Inspector George E. Causey
credited a reserve policeman,
Pvt. Charles V. Carter. 25, of
5902 Blaine street NJE., with
leading detectives to the sus
pects. He said Pvt. Carter, who
serves as a reservist in the
Fourteenth Precinct, saw two
separate outbreaks in which
Negro youths attacked white
boys near the 3300 block of
East Capitol street.
Pvt. Carter broke up one as
sault and managed to grab a
teen-ager at the second affray
where two 16-year-old youths
were being assaulted. The
youth seized by Pvt. Carter
denied taking part in the fight
ing but gave the name of an
other boy he said was involved.
Spitting Charged
Police found the second boy
at 2:30 am. yesterday and,
from him, obtained the names
of the other suspects.
The boys under questioning
at the precinct yesterday,
claimed they had been spat
upon from an upper ramp and
found white boys up there
when they went to investigate.
They said this precipitated the
fighting.
The 11 boys charged will
appear in Juvenile Court later
this week. All of them live
within four blocks of East
Capitol street between Thirty
third street and Thirty-seventh
street except one youth from
Deanwood Park, Md.
Police said all 11 of the
youths charged are members
of the Knothole Club sponsored
by The Star for youths 15 years
or younger. Members get free
admission for 12 games a year
at D. C. Stadium and pledge
gentlemanly conduct while at
tending the game. The ball
game drew 23,477 spectators of
members.
teacher certification and ac
creditation of non - public
schools did not infringe rights
to religious freedom.
The high court, in a brief
unsigned order, said the ap
peal was dismissed “for want
of a substantial Federal ques
tion.”
4. Refused to review an
Illinois case raising the question
of whether statements obtained
from criminal suspects during
illegal police detention should
be barred from use in State
courts.
The petition for review said
the issue has its roots in the
high court’s 1957 Mallory deci
sion, but specifically involved
the impact of a high-court rul
ing earlier this term on use of
statements after illegal arrests.
The Mallory decision bars use
in Federal courts of statements
made by a suspect during an
unnecessary delay between ar
rest and arraignment. The high
court, in another case, has been
asked to extend it to State court
trials.
In today’s case, Charles L.
Melquist received a 99-year
prison sentence after conviction
in the murder of 15-year-old
Bonnie Scott, whose mutilated
body was found in 1958 in a
wooded area of Cook county,
Illinois.
