our Government informed with the
greatest foresight and accuracy; 1t
must make effective our policies In
great countries and small; 1t must
protect our citizens abroad in a
troubled world and must promote
our commerce under conditions of
trade still influenced by the war and
subject to controls not always
familiar TO the private trader.
''The Foreign Service is now func-
tioning as beSe 1t can on an OUT
moded plan laid down in 1924. In
this bill we create q new model
service. One Of the basic reforms is
revision Of the salary structure 80
that a man without independent
means can serve his country as an
ambassador or minister or in any
foreign service position as effectively
as wealthy man.
AT the same time that the bill
improves compensation 1t subjects
the service to more rigid require
ments in regard to promotion and
training; it seeks to keep our dip
lomats and consuls from losing
touch with American life and
thought by providing more frequent
and varied assignments In this
country: and it tries to make the
service truly representative of the
whole Government and the people
by making 1t possible for the best
qualified men and women Of the
country. in or out of the Govern
ment. to have tours OF duty with
the Foreign Service In any OF its
ranks.
I'VE hope to speed the success Of
our foreign policy by improving
its instruments. For a country sit
uated as we ere, only the best pos
sible foreign service will sufaee:
this new act will, I hope, provide
the foundations on which We can

Red Opposition Delays
u. n. Applications Of
Ireland, Transjordan
BY ihs kssoeiotsd Prsss

NEW YORK. Aug. 13.-The ap-
plications OF Ireland and Trans
jordan for membership in the
United Nations were sidetracked to-
day by firm Russian opposition.
AS result of yesterdays meet
ing Of the Security Councils IL
nation Membership Committee only
Afghanistan tentatively was given
clean bill out OF the first Ave of
nine applications under considera-
tion. The committee has morning
and afternoon meetings scheduled
for today
Some quibbling may remain over
Afghanistan's Did, since Australian
Delegate Paul Hasluck tempered
his approval with mild reservation.
A nongovernment agency, the World
Jewish Congress, also volunteered
memorandum charging the Kabul
government was exercising a "vir-
tual reign of terror" over 5000 Jews
said to be living. in Afghanistan.
The Jewish complaint will be
acknowledged and filed for any fu-
ture reference. Afghanistan was
supported by the United States and
unanimously approved for member
ship, pending a final vote, before
the Jewish protest had gained gen.
eral circulation.
A controversy in the committee
shaped up over the Soviet supported
applications of the Albanian and
Mongolian Peoples Republics, which
have been tabled during the COM
mittee's quest for further informa
ton on them. and the bids from
Transjordan and Ireland, which have
the prime sponsorship of the United
Kingdom--snd now the opposition
of Russia.
Ireland's bid was approved by all
committeeman except those of Rus
STA and Poland. nsjordan's was
strongly supported by Britain and
approved subject to q formal reser-
vation by Egypt, but met with reser-
vations by the United States, Aus
traEa and Poland.
Soviet Representative Andrei N.
Krasilnikoy told the committee that
the Soviet Union had no diplomatic
relations with either Ireland or
Transjordan and would vote against
their admission; but he left loop
hole by reserving the right to review
their applications again.
The same technique has been used
on the Soviet-supported applications
OF Albania and Outer Mongolia.

when the Byrd Committee COM
pleted its report.
Mr.. Appleby said the analysis and
Interpretation Of the figures seemed
TO be slated in the direction of pre-
senting the Bureau of the Budget
in An "nfavorable light" Noting
the commuters statement that an
increase Of 164,0 employees was
permitted IN the old line depart
ments and agencies, Mr.. Appleby
said the report does not indicate
that nearly 81 600 Of this increase
occurred in the Veterans Admins
tration, 5000 in the Post Ofiice
Department and nearly 10000 In the
surplus property activities OF the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. since
transferred to the War Assets Ad-
ministration.
These agencies have been exempt
ed by Congress from the mandatory
ceiling provisions of the Federal Pay
Act Of 1916, Mr.. Appleby pointed
out.
Secretary Snyder declared the
Treasury Department had not viii
fully violated personnel ceilings, and
that any excess in employment might
have been due to misinterpretation
of instructions due to technical
difficulties.
Rate Of Reduction Assailed.
The Byrd report also was critical
OF the rate Of reduction in force IN
Government agencies. The 250, 900
reduction in employees made by the
War and Navy Departments and
wartime agencies during the past
yesr has been largely offset by sub
stantial hiring during this period
by other agencies.
The report said that during the
period from July, 1945,
to March, 1916, Federal agencies had
hired 164,608 employees, while ap-
proximately 25O,000 workers had
been dismissed. This left only
net reduction OF 5000 and was
not nearly enough, Senator Byrd
said.
The ceiling violations charged
against the agencies do not involve
the provisions of the Dirksen re-
duction in force amendment OF the
Federal Pay Act, which sets up en-
ployment quotas for the various Fed
eral agencies IN order that Fed
eral personnel be reduced by 8OO,-
600 employees by July /, l947.
The report pointed out, however,
that from now on the individual
agency ceilings set up by the Budget
Bureau will be closely tied up with
the Pay Act ceiling amendment since
the Budget Bureau has to work

participated in by three institutions.
They are: Emergency, Garfield and
Episcopal Hospitals. But even these
four projects will not meet the
eommunity's needs, according to
both the FWA and the Metropolitan
Health and Hospital Survey.
To forward preliminary plans for
the new hospital center, a meet
ing is planned soon between on
cials Of the three hospitals par
ticipating to lay groundwork. The
Federal Works Agency, which is
authorized to build the center prob
ably will be represented at the
conference by Alan Johnstone, FWA
general counsel. No funds. however,
are available for the center yet. It
must be provided originally by an
appropriation from Congress. The
eventual cost is to be split three
ways-among the three nonproflt
hospitals and the District and Fed
eral Governments.
The disposition here of funds for
construction under the new Hill
Burton Act has not yet been de-
termined. The District Health De-
partment would like to use some
Of the money for construction OF
new health centers to be scattered
throughout the city. Other hos
pitfalls in the city, which are not

funds, also are hoping to get some

Separate Program.
The $4,000. 600 appropriated al
ready to help States make their
surveys, Is not part of the $T5,-
COO 600 a year authorized to be Ap-
propriated in the future for con-
struction. A request for the first
SIS, 900 600 annual appropriation will
be sent to Congress soon after it
convenes in January.
Under the formula in the act,
based on per capita income and
population, 1t has been calculated
the District would receive in Fed
eral aid about $I,370,OO0 over the
f1ve-year period If it raised twice
that amount for the same purpose.
Virginia would receive $2,358. 900
annually or $11, TOO, 900 over the Ave
year period, and Maryland would
get $769 900 annually for a total of
50, ,845 900. Each, however. also
would have to raise twice as much to
get the grant. The local funds may
be raised by taxation, public sub
scription, or by non-profit fnstitu-
tions.
The fact that the District already
has been granted funds for the two
university hospitals and an act has
been signed for the new hospital
center, DR.. Hoge said, would not
prevent the Capital from participat-
ing in Federal aid under the HILL
Burton Act.
To administer the new hospital
act, a new Federal hospital council
must be set up by the Federal Sc
curity administrator, Watson B..
Mdller, it was explained by DR..
Hoge This council is to consist of
the surgeon general OF the Public
Health Service, who will be chair
man ex-officio and eight members
appointed by the FSA administra-
tor The act provides that -four
of the eight appointed members
shall be persons who are outstand-

Today's hand came from Mrs, P. E. De Rochi of Ridgewood, N. Jp who asked me to comment on the bidding. Most experts agree that 1t is not necessary to open this type of hand with forcing two-bid, because If you find fit with your partner, the opponents are more likely to double after a one-bid opening.
 Therefore I agree with Mrs. De Rochi on opening with one heart, But I do not agree with her other bids.
 North's bid of three hearts showed at least four hearts, prob ably four to the king, certainly minimum of three to the king, After this very strong bid think that South should have jumped to seven hearts immediately.
 In case the adverse diamonds all were in the West hand, South's bid of four diamonds might have di- fected West to open diamond in the hope that East could ruff It. However, after bidding four dia- monds and receiving the four. heart response, there was no rea-
