Army Slices Civilian List By53,000
 EmpIoye Reduction
 Ordered by Oct. l
 As Trumon Directs
PAGE FOUR

Washington, Aug. 30-(UP)-The War Department has ordered 53.- 900 persons removed from Army ci william payrolls throughout the na- ton before Oct. in line with PreSi- dent Truman's economy program.
 Reductions came as result of Instructions by the Budget Bureau to reduce Army civilian employ ment to 519,500 by Oct. l. The War Department had 572,579 men and women on it's payroll throughout the country On July 3l.
 Maj. Gen. c. H. Bonesteel. presi- dent of the War Department Man power Board, said the cuts were being carried out in accordance with law passed by the last Congress providing that recent pay rises for civilian employees must be absorbed by reduction of payrolls
 Is Percent Cut
 He said the revision in allotmentS correspond roughly to l5 percent reduction from the first quarter of 1946.
 Bonesteel said several agencies would not make sharp cuts because they lost enough employees through normal turnover by Oct. to make lay-offs unnecessary.
 Employment in Washington will drop 2,987 to 19,950 on Oct. from July 31 levels. In the rest of the nation the drop will be from 549,- 642 on July 31 to 499550 on Oct. l.
 The Army Air Force and the Medical Department took the heavi- est cuts. AAF field employees will be reduced from July strength of 184,851 to an October ceiling of 159,149, a drop of 5,874 -.
 Medical Department employment will drop from 20,679 to l5,415 on Oct. l This cut of 5,264 was the stiffest for any of the technical services.
 STA in First Area
 Cuts by Army areas include: First Army Area, New York City, down STA to 13,421.
 The Ordnance Department, Head quarters, Army Ground Forces, the Quartermaster Corps and Finance Department were all at or below ceilings and will not be required to make further personnel reductions.

Atom Machinery Due in 20 Years

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 90. CUP)- Dr. Merlin D. Peterson, a 36-year- old Oak Ridge, Tenn, scientist. to- day predicted that atomic energy will be used for turning the wheels of industry within the next 10 to 20 years.
 A pioneer in the development of the atomic bomb, he said the day would come when the lifetime fuel supply of big industrial plant can be carried in a wheelbarrow. He said one pound of uranium is equal in fuel to 50,o0O tons Of coal.
 Peterson appeared at confer ence on Facing Atomic Enemgy," sponsored by the University Of Tennessee.
 Dr. Lyle B. Borst, Oak Bridge chemist, said Russian scientists undoubtedly possess all information necessary to manufacture atomic bombs and otherwise utilize atomic energy
 For the Soviets, he said, it is merely a question of constructing the necessary plants"

Moscow, Aug. 30-CUP) Reports that Russia IS shipping armaments instead of farm machinery to neighboring countries may cause the U.NRR,A. to review it's sched- uled farm equipment shipments to the Soviet Ukraine and Byelo- Russia Director General Fiorello H. LaGuardia indicated today,
 (Radio Moscow reported that Premier Stalin has received La Guardia for a talk)
 LaGuardia is investigating the armaments reports and other re- ports that the Soviets are exporting items similar to those which the U.NR.R.A. is shipping into Soviet territory
 Unfamiliar With Details
 Tt must be frankly stated that the question of exports enters into the complete picture of aid to Byelo-R Russia and the Ukraine" La Guardia told a press conference cf American, British, French and Sovi- ct correspondents last night.
 The former New York Mayor said he was unfamiliar with details of reports that the Soviets are using steel to make armaments, some of which are shipped to Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries instead of farm equipment.
 He expressed desire to acquire iy7 fNrr,, q tiny, hn oy,,a fc question as related to a deficiency in Soviet farm machine produc- tion.
 Boris Vannikov, Soviet minister for agricultural machine building was removed from his post two months ago. Yesterday an official Soviet announcement said abolition of food rationing has been post poned until 1947 because of damage done by drought
 We want seriously to ascertain whether the Soviet Union will have food to export LaGuardia said. That is very important in order to estimate the world food position in 1947,"
 Fats, Meats Short
 Despite an estimated Ukrainian and Byelo- food deficiency in 1947, he said he believed the Soviet Union could cover require mentS for that year, particularly grain. He said fats and meats would be the greatest lack in the two devastated areas.

 To Veteran Housing

Boston, Aug. 30 -(UP)- GIs would picket all non-vital building projects until sufficient homes are built to house the nations vet erans under a resolution to be pro- posed at the filth national encamp- ment of the Veterans of Foreign Wars which opens here Sunday.
 A spokesman said it was expected there would be an emphatic de- mand for diversion of critical building materials to home con- struction-especially in view of the fact that an estimated two-thlrds Of the delegates to the week-long encampment represent World War II veterans.
 Initial complaints probably will be made on this topic Tuesday when Federal Housing Expediter Wilson w. Wyatt is scheduled to address the convention.
 Among other resolutions expect ed to be proposed are: l. Exclusive control of the atom bomb by the United States. 9 A national bon on the Ku Klux Klan.
 3. Admission of Philippine vet erans of army and guerrilla service to VFW membership and support of their claim to benefits of the CT Bill of Rights.
 4. Admission of women veterans of foreign service to membership in the VFW

Facts For Veterans
PENSION REDUCTIONS

Jerry B. was discharged for nervous disability in January, 1945. Three weeks later, let ter from the Veterans Adminis- tration advised him that he was to receive monthly pension of S1150. He received his pension regularly until July, 1945, when the Veterans Administration called him in for an examina- ton. Upon it's conclusion, Jerry was told that his pension would be discontinued Although Jerry has been able to work continu- ously since his discharge and dur ing the time he was drawing his pension. he claims he still is en- titled to monthly check because he is nervous and, as he puts it,
 "jumpy".
 To understand the procedure that led to the discontinuance of Jerry s pension, the workings of the Vet erans Administration rating boards must be briefly explained. Claims of veterans for benefits are handled by a Veterans Administration rating board which is on duty at the regional office of the Veterans Ad- miniStration.
 This board is composed of three members: a doctor, a lawyer and an occupational specialist. They are called rating specialists. To- gether and individually, they con- slider the factual issues of claims like Jerry's.
 When they arrive at conclusion in regard to the merits or demerits of a case, they must be guided by appropriate rating schedules. These rating schedules specify the per- centage of a veterans disability in relation to the disabilities the ex- animation reveals.
 In Jerry's case, it seems clear that the first rating, the one that entitled him to a pension, was based upon medical facts secured from military service records. The second rating, which cut off his pension, was the result of the ex- animation given him by the Veter- ans Administration which showed that no apparent disability existed The rating board, guided by the fixed rating schedule, was required to discontinue the pension pay ments
 Jerry was advised by his local Red Cross chapter that if he has reason to disagree with the find ings of the rating board in discon- tinuing his pension, he has F months in which to submit new evil dence or make an appeal. In his case the evidence might be a doctors statement or a social and industrial history showing reduc- tion in earning capacity or showing social maladjustment resulting from his nervous condition.

China Military Council
Charges Communists
With Breaking Truce
By the Associated Press.


CHUNGKING, Jan. 1.-THE
National Military Council today
charged the Communists with
several new violations of the
Sunday midnight truce which
theoretically ended China's civil
strife. 1t detailed each.
Qn Yenan, Communist 9Th
Route Army headquarters
charged that Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek personally and
secretly had ordered the COM
mander of the 11th War Zone
on Saturday to seize strategic
Communist strongpoints before
the cease fire order became ef-
fective)
Foreign correspondents here pro-
tested to the government, through
Minister Of Information K. C. WI,
against refusal of Chinese authori-
ties to allow American newsmen to
accompany Chinese roops into any
Manchurian cities ,-ntil all Soviet
forces are withdrawn.
Meantime, the first contingent of
some 1,10o Chinese troops of the
new 9Th Army left Shanghai for
Manchuria aboard six American
LISTS diverted from the japanese
repatriation program. The Chinese
are to be landed at Hulutao and
presumably are to be used in the
Mukden area, radioed Associated
Press Correspondent Richard Cush-
ing. They are fully equipped for
the vigorous Manchurian weather.
(From Yenan, Associated Press
Correspondent John Roderick
radioed in a delayed dispatch
dated yesterday that Communist
headquarters claimed to have
come into possession of an order
issued January directing gov
ernment forces to occupy favor
able position before the armistice
was effective.
(Party headquarters instructed
Chou-En-lai, Communist repre-
sentative in Chungking, to pro-
test strongly to the government,
contending that fighting which
continued between the signing of
the armistice and its effective
date was due to direct order
of Gen. Chang rather than to
faulty communications
The National Military Council
here asserted that 5000 Communists
on Monday seized control of the
Manchurian port Of YingkoW after
seven-hour fight in which it over
whelmed small government gar
rison.
1t said further that on Tuesday
10000 Communists attacked Taian
and Shantung on the Tientsin-Pu-
kow Railroad and other points on
the railroad in Hopeh and Kiangsu
Provinces.
