PLUGGED The LOOPHOLE House and Senate also plugged a loophole in the Civil Service Commission Act which permitted high cabinet officials last January to take up to $12,000, in taxpayers funds wlum they went out of office. Such men as Secretary of State scandalman Lax Acheson and Mar Gaudcl took large sums representing, they said, vacations they did not take during their service with the former administration. FOR WORKERS ONLY In accordance with President Eisenhow-er- s wishes, the new legislation prohibits top executive officers from accumulating vacation time, thus reserving the privilege for those to whom it rightly belongs the hardworking federal employee who stays on the job.

WASHINGTON Washington basked under unseasonally blue skies and cool breezes this week which is news enough in itself. On the political front, however, Sen. Wallace F. Bennett remained more than busy in the capital. He voted early in the week for the Agricultural Reorganization plan submitted through Secy, of Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson and voted against seating Sen. Wayne Morse (Ind. Ore.) on the committees taken away from him when the 83rd congress began in January. the Utahn debated fiscal policy with Senators Homer Capehart (R., Ind.), Robert Kerr (D., Okla.) and Hubert Humphrey (D., Minn.). The four lawmakers appeared on a TV show with Blair Moody (D., Mich.). His central theme and its not easy to stick to one against such a trio was that the nation must choose between a sound dollar with fluctuating interest rates and an inflated dollar with government-peggeinterest rates. Sen Bennett, of course, favored the first plan. Wednesday he introduced in the Senate a concurrent resolution authorizing the president to set aside June 7 to 14 as Aid to Korea week. In the meantime, Finance committee meetings are spotlighting the possible dissolution of the Reconstruction Finance Corp., Sen. Bennett reported.

Take those folks who would deny me a temperate glass of beer without a moments thought. They wouldnt want me to interfere with their personal preferences for, say, buttermilk. Its a good idea to think twice before you spell out rules for your neighbor. Copyright, 1953, United States Brewers Foundation , 1853.
