Concrete Highway at W akefield, Va., Reser- vation Planned. Preparations are being made for the building of a concrete roadway on the reservation at Wakefield, Vi birthplace of George Washington. The construction work will be in charge of the office of public build- ings and public parks of the aNtlonal Capital, of which Lieut. Col. Clarence 0. Sherrill, Army Engineer Corps, is director. Virginia already has constructed a roadway up to the boundary line of the reservation, but at the present time, it is said, it is necessary for those desiring to visit the monument there to walk about three-fourths of a mile. The proposed roadway will be about that distance in length and will run from the end of the reser- vatlon where it connects with the State highway and will encircle the monument there. Congress has pro- vided $12,000 for its construction, which will begin shortly after July 1.

The federation will place before Chairman Couzens of the Senate clvil service committee, and airman Lehlbach of a similar committee of the House, a program for legislative action embodying radical changes in administration in the Government service.

Complete and final standardization working conditions. Liberalization of the ffunds allowed Government employes while away from base on Governmegt business Definite and legal egtablishment of the right of Governnwent employe to receive the 30-day annual leave granted him when hey takes the job. On the first point, the Civil Service Commission has taken a stand definitely with the Government em- ployes' organizatiom ‘in favor of its establishment.

The federation takes the stand that 30 days’ annual leave is either a right or is not a right. The employe who takes a Government job should know and be sure ¢hat he is entitled to and will get a aertain amount of annual leave, whetider it be 30 days or less, the federatifon believes.

By the Associated Pres PARIS, April 4—The beginning of the Easter holidays brought a truce today to the strike of students grow- ing out of the appointment of Prof. Georges Scell to the chair of interna- tional law at the Sorbonne. But the students’ asoclation made it clear that it is a truce only and that the students will resume their lectures when the law school of the Sorbonne, closed because of last Saturday’s riot- ing by Royalist and Conservative Re- publican students, is reopened, when Dr. Berthelemy, dean of the law fac ulty, suspended after the rioting, is reinstated, and when amnesty is granted to the students condemned for their part in the disturbance.
