U.N. Council Expected Known Reds Remain
ToReject Polish Move On Federal Payroll,
On Spanish Ties Today Rees Says in House
Accuses Civil Service
Loyalty Boord of
Reversing Findings
~ loennk N>u
BY Joseph YOUNG

Charges that the Civil Service
Commission is illegally and ar
bitrarily" allowing known Com
munists and followers of the
party line to remain in the Gov
ernment were made today by
Representative Rees, Republican
Of Kansas, ranking minority
member of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee.
Mr.. Rees, who has introduced a
resolution calling for a congress
sional investigation of subversive
elements in the Government, told
the House that in IS per cent of
the cases where the commission
investigators had recommended that
employees be dismissed from the
Government because of Commu-
nistic Affiliations, the recommends
tions were reversed, by the COM
missions Loyalty Board.
Mr.. Rees declared that the COM
mission has denied his request to
examine their files with regard to
these cases. The Kansan said that
he was informed by the commission
that the Attorney General had ruled
that a member of Congress cannot
inspect their files in this regard.
Ruling Held Disservice.
II consider the commissions re-
fusal, whether supported by an At
torney Generals opinion or not
completely contrary to the interests
OF the public and the taxpayers who
pay the salaries of Federal en-
ployes and whom we as members
OF Congress represent in the legis-
lative branch of the Government
I think that every person who works
for the Government exercises q
public trust, and his past, present
and future history in all details
should be open to the public. Ger
tainly, officials employing persons
whose views are contrary to our
form of Government, should be held
accountable for their actions" Mr..
Rees said.
The Kansan sharply attacked Al
fred Klein, chief legal officer for the
commission, for what he said was
Mr.. Klein's refusal to abide by the
recommendations of the commits
sion's investigating staff.
Mr.. Rees said he had in possess
sion much evidence" to support his
charges. He cited several cases to
show that employees with known
connections with Communist front
organizations had been permitted to

India Files Compliant
Of Discrimination
Against South Africo
BY Gould Lincoln
Stor Siof Correxnondsnf

NEW YORK. June 24.-As In
dia filed charges against another
member of the British Common
wealth-South Africa-alleging
discrimination against 900
Indians living there, the Security
Council of the United Nations
prepared today for another dis
cussion and possible vote on the
problem of Franco Spain.
Poland, it was expected, would
demand a vote on its original pro-
posal calling for immediate sever
ance of diplomatic relations with
the Franco government by all
members Of the United Nations-in
an effort to force Franco out of
control in Spain.
Observers predicted this move
will be defeated by the 11-member
council, although it was consid-
cred probable that as many as four
votes may be cast for it. Poland
and Soviet Russia will support it,
and probably Mexico and France.
Laid Aside for Inquiry.
The Franco resolution offered by
Poland early in the New York meet
ings of the Security Council, was laid
aside while a special committee of
the council investigated conditions
arising out of Frances control of
Spain-which the Polish govern
ment charged is a threat to world
peace.
The report of the committee was
filed, and recently a proposal was
made that the Franco issue be
placed before the General Assem-
bly, at its meeting here in Septem-
ber A veto by Soviet Russia de-
feated action on the proposal.
Unless some new or compromise
proposal for dealing with the Span
lsh issue is made, the expected final
action on the Polish resolution is
likely to leave the matter in abey-
ance for the present at least.
The charge against South Africa
was brought to the attention of the
United Nations yesterday by Sir
Ramaswami Mudaliar, Indian dele
gate and president of the Economic
and Social Council.
Files Complaint With Lie.
He filed the complaint of his gov
ernment with Secretary General

I'm the lowland country between
