Legislation Would Block
Fed. Pensions to Persons
Convicted Of Felony
WASHINGTON, UP)—Chairman
Cretella (R-Conn) of a House civil
service subcommittee predicted
his group would approve a bill
next week to block federal pen
sions for Alger Hiss and any other
government employe convicted of
a felony involving moral turpi
tude.
“There is an overwhelming
sentiment in Congress that trait
ors to their government should
not profit at its expense,” Cre
tella said.
The subcommittee is consider
ing 10 bills to deny civil service
retirement benefits to government
workers convicted of felonies, or
to their widows and children.
Two of the bills are aimed
specifically at Hiss, former State
Department employe who was
convicted of lying in denying he
passed government secrets to a
pre - World War II Communist
spy ring. Hiss has had 14 years
and 9 months of government ser
vice, entitling him to a govern
ment pension of $700 a year in
1966, when he becomes 62.
“I think a general bill, aimed at
everyone convicted of a felony
or violating national security,
should be made broad enough to
include Alger Hiss without nam
ing him,” Cretella said.
The proposals are opposed by
the Eisenhower administration—
chiefly on grounds that govern
ment retirement benefits already
have been held by the courts to
be contractual rights.

June 21st Was 94th
Anniversary of U.S.
Army Signal Corps
June 21st marked the 94th an
niversary of the founding of the
U.S. Army Signal Corps.
During the past year the Sig
nal Corps has made vast strides
in the development of new equip
ment and techniques, thereby
creating much greater combat ef
fectiveness, increased economy of
operation at all levels and im
proved long - range communica
tions. As in the past the Signal
Corps’ greatest asset is its person
nel who are doing the signal job.
Each person, military and civilian
has been and will continue to be
a vital factor in the achievement
of the corps. Cost consciousness
and economy have been promoted
vigorously and the slogan “econ
omy is our business” has become
no small part of the Signal Corps
tradition.
Outstanding in the eyes of Al
askans is the ACS, an important
activity of the Signal Corps, which
has been part and parcel of the
Alaskan scene since 1900. The de
votion to duty of ACS military
personnel and their fellow ACS
civilian employes has been a pri
mary factor in providing the
territory with a highly efficient
communications network and has
played an important role in the
development of Alaska.
Miss Europe Was
Married So She
Loses The Title
PARIS, UP) — It’s the “Misses
Europe” this year, thanks to
death, discretion and European
chivalry.
Judges at the annual European
beauty contest in Vichy Monday
chose Christel Schaak, a Berlin
mannequin, to be “Miss Europe,”
then some busybody learned she’s
the widowed Mrs. Schaak, whose
husband died two years ago'.
Contest regulations provide that
once a Mrs. never a miss. After
much deliberation, officials de
cided Tuesday night runner - up
Danielle Genot of France should
get the title.
Just so Mrs. Schaak and Ger
many wouldn’t have hard feel
ings, they named her “Honorary
Miss Europe.”
Danielle, a 21-year-old Paris
ienne, stands 5 feet 7. Going
around the other way, she’s 36
inches at the bust and hips, 22Vz
inches at the waist and 20 Vfe
inches at the thigh, either one.
