Service Committee, today in announcing the preliminary results of a

"The survey thus far provides some interesting facts. For example, we

age of those canvassed is !2.
"Twenty-eight percent of.the married persons have husbands or wives
who also are employees. Of those who have children, 26 per cent of the
children are minors, under age 18.
"The profile of Government employment continued to reveal many other
vital statistics Thirty-six per cent -of those who have answered the
ouestionnaire are veterans This is somewhat below the service-wide figure
of 42 per cent recently reported by the Executive Branch, though it may well
be that our Committee returns my increase this percentage as further replies
are received.
