.Bi-Party World Policy
is Urged by Eaton

The Republicans will not try to
bring out a party substitute for
the Marshall plan If they follow
the advice, of one of their elder
statesmen, Chairman Eaton of
the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee.
Although conceding that Presi-
dent Truman's request for a four
year s17,Ooo,ooo program OF
European recovery will not 60
through Congress without altera-
tions, he reaffirmed his well-estab-
lished belief in the Importance OF a
bipartisan foreign policy.
The administrations Marshall
plan should be only the beginning
of efforts by this country to bring
about economic recovery in is West
ern European nations, Mr.. Eaton
told newsmen.
After 1t is under way, he said,
members of both parties should get
together and draft a world policy
which Congress, the President and
all the people of the country can
understand and support
1t should be policy, he declared,
which is mot Republican, not
Democratic, but American"
Mr.. Eaton expressed belief that
the full $17,000000,000 four-year
Marshall plan is unlikely to get
through the next session of Con-
gress. But he said enough money
will be provided so that the admin
istration can make a start at put
ting its recovery blueprint into
effect.

and State did "irreparable harm"
to their prestige in the summary
dismissals without charges of some
of their employees. Later, after
sharp criticism from some of the
countrv's leading newspapers, State
allowed the employees to resign. CIA
has since reinstated some of its
employees.
RETIREMENT BILL-A number
of retired Government employees
have written us expressing their fear
that Senator LANCER and other
sponsors of the Federal retirement
bill may have lost sight of the
measure in their drive for enact
ment of a Government pay raise
bill.
Senator LANCER and his colleagues,
however. give their assurance to re-
tired Federal employees that they
have not forgotten them and that
they will try to get Senate action
on the measure in January, soon
after Congress convenes.
While it is true that Senator
LANCER, who heads the Senate Civil
Service Committee. plans a con-
certed fight to win pay increases
for Feoeral workers, he says he
and his colleagues will fight
just as vigorously for passage of
the Lsnger-Chavez-S Stevenson re-
tirement measure.
The House already has passed the
bill, which would give retired en-
ployes, among other benefits, a Is
per cent or $500 annual annuity in
crease. whichever is smaller Re-
tired Federal employees say that the
sharp rise in living costs during the
past few years have made their
annuities wholly inadequate to
maintain even minimum living
standards.
PAY BILL-Speaking of the pay
bill. at least 20 additional members
of Congress have promised Govern
ment employees groups they will in
troduce pay measures when Congress
convenes next month. A total of %
wage increase bills already have
been introduced.
1t now appears that the Senate
Civil Service Committee will take
the lead in holding hearings on the
measure, probably the latter part of
January. The House Civil Service
Committee will probably wait until
the Senate group acts before it con-
siders the pay raise question.
PERSONAL NOTE-May we take
this occasion to wish our readers the
very merriest OF Christmases.

Pravda Says Vatican,

Is Plotting Revotfs
BY the Associoied Pres,

MOSCOW, Dec. pa Brussels
dispatch to the Communist Party
newspaper Pravda declared today
the Vatican. inspired by American
military authorities in Rome, was
plotting revolutions in Italy and
France.
Pravda's correspondent in Bel
gium said he based the charge on
information coming to Brussels
from Italy"
1T is lntimated, for instance" the
dispatch said. that Vatican circles
have in mind plan of state revo-
luton aimed at creating in italy a
so-called concentration government

groups headed by the Christian
Democratic Party.

as Synonymous terms.)
The dispatch added: "It is also
asserted that the subversive activity
of the Vatican is inspired in every
way by American military author
tiles in Italy.
There is also information to the
effect that secret military dumps of
the Vatican are located in monas-
teries and schools which receive
American military equipment and
material meant for right wing
parties and De Gaulle agents.
Charges Sale to Vatican.
Besides this. the American mill
tary authorities in Italy have re-
ceived special instructions from
Washington to sell to the Vatican
at the lowest prices all property
which was designed for disposal
after the evacuation of American
troops in Italy"
The article said Vatican repre-
sentatives had profited by the sale
of such equipment to the population
"at black market prices and that
the money goes toward financing
the reactionary press of Italy and
France, which conducts propaganda
against democratic> forces of both

|. He noted it would not be possible
to gain such information from the
list of I'll names of traders made
public by Mr. Anderson Monday,
since those lists were compiled from
spot checks made without reference
to Government buying.
Civil Service Aid Asked.
The committee staff has asked the
Civil Service Commission to help
look for the names of Government
employees or close relatives on the
first list Mr. Anderson made public.
Commenting on Secretary Ander-
sons first list, Mr.. Andersen re.
marked:
The people with inside infor-
matiop-the people who benefited
from Government leaks-wouldnt
speculate in such heavy volume be-
cause they know it would have to
be recorded with the Department OF
Agriculture.
But these insiders could buy as
much as $4,000 bushels of wheat
and there would be no report on it.
Cites Possible 10000 Profit.
early last January they could
have gone to a broker and bought
100000 bushels of wheat at $1.90 a
bushel and sold it in March at s2.70
a bushel. That would make neat
profit of 100000, and the specula-
tors name would not be reported
at all"
He referred to a provision Of the
Commodity and Exchange Act
which requires operators to report
transactions in a single market
which involve as much as 100000
bushels of grain, 5000 bales of cot
ton, 250,000 pounds OF lard or Is
carlots of butter, eggs or potatoes.
Emphasizing that his committee
is authorized to subpoena both per-
sons and records, the Minnesota
laWmaker said
This is going to be a full and
complete investigation, particularly
into the effect of Government food
purchases on the cost of food to the
American people.
Well take in not only the grain
exchanges, but other markets such
as cotton, fats and oils, and the
whole broad picture of living costs"

German Party Leader
Attacks Soviet Custer
BY the Associoted Press

BERLIN, Dec. 24.-Jakob Kaiser,
leader of the Christian Democratic
Union in the Soviet zone of Ger
many who was ordered dismissed
by the Russians four days ago, said
yesterday he still considered himself
the elected leader of Russian zone
Christian Democrats, although pre-
vented from performing his duties
there.
Mr.. Kaiser and Ernest Lemmer,
his co-leader who also was ordered
dismissed by the Russians, said in
a news conference that it was vir-
tually impossible for the union to
carry on as an independent political
party in the Russian zone. Mr..
Kaiser said he and Mr.. Lemmer
would continue as active party lead
ers in Berlin, although unable to
function in the Soviet zone.
1t was obvious from the statement
of the two leaders that the organi-
zation being set up in the Soviet
zone under Russian order would not
be recognized by the old line lead
ership of the party.
I'VE are forced to the conclusion
Mr.. Kaiser said, that there appears
to be no more possibility of carrying
out an independent policy along
democratic lines in the Eastern
zone.
I'VE hold to the view that only
legally called party can decide over
the retention or non-retention of
the Offices which were given to us
last September at the annual meet
ing
Mr. Kaiser and Mr. Lemmer were
dismissed because they failed to
bring the union into the peoples
congress arranged by the Commu-
Socialist Unity Party
to represent all Germany in
to the Foreign Minis
ters' Council.
Mr.. Kaiser described the congress
today as a one zone demonstration
and said it did no service toward
German unity"

There is some talk of seeking AFL

sary to get the program under way.
At present there are some top

consin said yesterday testimony be-
fore his House investigating sub
committee indicated" strikin G
printers on Chicagos six big daily
newspa pers are seeking some
means to evade" the Taft-Hartley
Act.
Mr.. Kersten said he based his OBJ
servation on the testimony. He de-
clared:
From evidence presented here it
was clear that the union is seeking
to bring about some change in the
law. that they desire return to
some form of a closed shop. 1t was
indicated that they are seeking
some means to evade the law
Mr.. Kersten elaborated on his
statement to say that it meant the
AFL international Typographical

tempt to obtain some settlement

that I'VE, as a committee, have no
intention of interfering with this

trying to evade the law.
Meanwhile officials of the city's

The conference was the third
sponsored by the Mayor in an effort
to settle the strike of 800 members

eral of the group emerged and said
they were taking breather." They
indicated the conference would last

Mr.. Randolph testified that the
Taft Hartley Act ''is slavery law
All the publishers have to do to get
their men back is to give them fair
wages. We have tried to bargain
in good faith. We are not trying to
evade the law.
I'VE are trying to live under it
and in doing 50 we are following
the advice of our counsel. We have
complied with it 100 per cent.
The Hartley law aids the
employer in tearing the union apart.
Our only recourse is to apply our
policy or not work. We intend to keep
on doing this. If it is against the
