OXLEY IN APPEAL Feeling that he had been given an unfair deal he was dismissed from the agency in the reduction of force some time ago, Lt. Lawrence A. Oxley made a direct appeal to Civil service. In his appeal, Lt. Oxley is reported as having expressed his belief that he was entitled to Mrs.

Johnson's position because of his seniority, permanent status and veteran's pre-ferenc. According to a report appearing in the press Lt. Oxi'ey contended thta his name should have been placed at the top of the retention register making him the last of those in his competitive field to be dismissed in the reduction of force. According to civil service's interpretation of "competitive areas," Lt. Oxley and Mrs.

Johnson were not on the same competitive level. Mr. Oxley's position was then technical representative at a grade CAF 12, while Mrs. Johnson's position was then chief of a section with a P-7 gr.ide. In the new setup, Mr.

Oxley has the same clerical administrative title with the same salary, $5,905 basic while Mrs. Johnson has a different title that of consultant. She maintains the same professional rating with the same salary, that of $8,170 basic. RE-EMPLOYED As a result of Mr. Oxley's appeal, civil service requested that the department of labor find reasonable employment for him, but specifically stated that he was not eligible for the joi which Mrs Johnson held according to a reliable source.

He was reemployed by he department and placed on Mrs. Johnson's staff but it is rumored that he is still. not too secure because of his hf BOH O. 5VASUINGTON MANNHEIM, Germany (ANP)--first WiUiara King, of Waco, "exas, commanding officer of the -V''-iie miUUry. police service platoon liftaUonsd here, Is proud of the jnade by his unit since its ac- -i vatlon and, he Job his men are 'if, accbrdinjt what he told nto ti't his headquarters in Mannheim's Bandleader Jordan Scores r', tHauwltz kaserne recently.

Don't twiddle and fuss with your your hair, your necklace, your buttons, your watch. If you can't resist the temptation any other way, pick up a book, your purse or some sizable object to hold. Avoid meaningless, too-animated gestures, but do cultivate a variety of arm and hand positions that are restful and show off your figure at its best. When sitting don't lock your hands tightly in your lap. Let one He lightly on the palms up.

When you cherish you hands you will slip into a pair of gloves before doing your household chores, and you will wear gloves when you shop and walk to keep them soft and free from soil. The bedtime habit of rubbing cream into hands and donning light weight cotton gloves will add im measurably to their loveliness.

And, of course, a weekly manicure and some glamorous nail make-up are essential to the beauty and the grooming of your hands.

I'Listen, honey. I was the first girl in New York to wear one! And that was last year at the opening of 'St. Louis Woman," she reminisced.

"I had just gotten back from Call fornla and brought this mad outfit created for me. Black satin dress 12 inches from the ground. The coat was 14 inches.
