Maritime Commission
To Drop 1,075 Here,
40 Per Cent Of Force
so Per Cent of Field Stuff
Also to Be Dismissed
Before August IS

The Maritime Commission an
nounced today it is reducing its
Washington staff by about 1,7Os
employees, or approximately 4t
per cent, by August Is because OF
appropriation cuts.
E. G. Montgomery, chief OF per.
sonnel, said that each employe slated
for dismissal would receive a week S
notice.
An overall reduction Of about 60
per cent in field Offices also is neces-
sary to keep within budget limita-
tions, he said. That does not mean
that each field Office would be cut
by that amount, the cuts in individ-
ual regional Offices being based on
local conditions.
The regional Offices are now
working out reductions.
The commission said that con-
gressional appropriations, when ac-
cumulative annual leave of those
who must be dismissed is considered
total only approximately 40 per cent
of 1867 funds.
The Washington administrative
Offices accounted for 2,275 employees
at the end of June. That compared
with approximately 4,500 in Wash
ington on June 80, 1916. Reduced
appropriations and the letdown OF
activities of from the wartime peake
accounted for the reduction.

Indonesians Accused
By Netherlands Of 5
Violations Of Truce
Dutch Army Also Denies
Charge That 1t Ignored
Order to Geese Fire
By the Associofed Press

BATAVIA, Java, Aug. 6.-The
Netherlands Army accused the
Indonesian Republic today Of
violating Monday nights cease
fire order five times and at the
same time denied Indcnesian
charges that the Dutch had
committed such violations.
Indonesian Prime Minister Amir
Sjarifoeddin had charged the Dutch
with violating the cease-f1re order
at Gombong, on the central front,
60 miles west of Jogjakarta, two and
half hours after the midnight
deadline.
The dutch declared today. how
ever, that they actually occupied
Gombong 80 minutes before the
cease-f1re order became effective.
Meanwhile, rlmors circulated in
Batavia. without official confirma-
ton, that Admiral William D. Leahy,
chief of staff to President Truman,
would come here from Washing
ton to act as mediator in the
Dutch -Indonesian dispute if the
Republican government accepts an
American offer of good Offices as
the Dutch already have.
Hopes for Prompt Reply.
Walter A. Foote, the American
consul general here, officially de-
livered the American offer to the
Indonesian deputy prime minister,
A. K. Gani, shortly after midnight
this morning. Mr.. Foote said he
knew nothing about the Leahy ru-
mors.
Mr.. CAM said he would relay the
American offer to his government in
Jogjakarta at once, and said he
hoped for reply by tonight. Mr..
Foote, Mr.. Gani continued, urged
Republican acceptance because me-
diation of one state can achieve re-
suits more quickly than mediation
by a commission composed of sew
eral states"
The Indonesians earlier had
asked for an international COM
mission to mediate the dispute and
supervise the cease-fire order.
Mr.. CAM said the message de-
livered by Mr.. Foote contained three
major provisions:
l. An offer of the good Offices of
the United States to the Indonesian
Republic.
2. A promise that the United
States would send commission i'm
mediately if the republic accepts the
offer.
3. A request for speedy reply.

U. 5. Reported Ready
To Ask Balkan Issue
Transfer 10 Assembly
Johnson Is Expected to
Give important Outline
Of American Position
BY the Associated Press

LAKE SUCCESS, Aug. 6.-The
United States was reported ready
today to suggest that the United
Nations General Assembly han
die the Balkans situation, if the
Security Council cannot do so
because of Russia's veto.
The Council was called to meet at
I3 pm. to continue debate on the
Balkans, with the prospect of some
of the plainest speaking yet heard
in that group of II diplomats.
An authoritative source said Her
schel v. johnson, American deputy
on the Security Council, was all set
to make an important statement
outlining the American position sub
stantially this way:
/. The United States hopes that
the Security Council will act to meet
the situation. But, If the Council
can not do that through the use of
the veto, the United States is con-
f1dent that the General Assembly
will handle the situation.
2. The United States feels strongly
On the Soviet use of the veto. 1t does
not like the implications in the
Soviet action.
u. S. Committed to U. N.
8. The United States has decided
views toward what it feels has been
the defiance of Albania, Yugoslavia
and Bulgaria in refusing to CO.
operate with the Security Councils
subsidiary group left in the trouble
area.
4. Finally the United States, con-
trary to reports that it might try
to achieve a solution outside the
United Nations, is definitely and
firmly committed to the United Ma
tions and will exhaust all resources
of the Charter in trying to solve
the question.
The General Assembly has au-
thority only to recommend action,
but it has assumed great i'm
portance as mirror for world
opinion. 1t cannot make a decision
on a case as long as the Security
Council has it, but the Council ma
jority could drop the Balkans case
with the intent of bringing it up
in the Assembly.

impetus late yesterday when Vas

Accumulation ofleave
CutFrom 90 10 50 DAYS
By Civil Service Order
Commission to Allow
Time Stored Up in War
To Be Used, However
By Joseph Young

The maximum of 80 days an
nual leave that Government en-
ployes are allowed to accumulate
for future vacation use was cut
to go days today by the Civil
Service Commission.
From now on, the commission an
nounced, no employe will be al
lowed to carry over more than 60
days leave from one year to the
next.
Allowed in Wartime.
During the war years Government
employees were allowed to pile up 90
days of leave so they could remain
on the job and further the war
effort. Many employees took ad-
vantage of this to take extended
vacations later.
Now, however. the commission
ordered the 90-day limit cut back to
the prewar limit of go days. How
ever, the commission announced
that those employees who have ac-
cumulated up to 80 days annual
leave during the war will be allowed
to use all of the time coming to
them for vacation purposes.
Government workers are entitled
to an average vacation of 26 days
annually. If they do not take the
vacation, the rs days are accunu-
lated and added to the 26 days due
them the following year. Commits
sion officials estimate thousands OF
employees have accumulated more
than go days leave during the past
few years.
Had to Pay Cash.
Government agencies ran into
trouble recently because of the piling
up of leaves during the war. Most
bureaus suffered sharp 1948 budget
cuts and consequently we're forced to
dismiss thousands of employees. And
many of these employees had large
amounts of unused leave coming to
them, which had to be paid out in
cash when they left the Government
service.
Chairman Taber of the House
Appropriations Committee sharply
criticized the agencies for the jam
into which they had gotten them
selves and warned them to be more
careful in the future.
