this country the force it needs
to back up its foreign policy.
The Secretary was the initial wit

Rees Charges Reds
Are Still Being Hired
For Key U. 5. Posts
House Committee Head
Says Civil Service Body
Evodes Case Reviews
By Joseph Young

Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee charged
today that Government depart
ments currently are hiring Com
munists and fellow travellers,
some of them for important
overseas jobs.
Commenting on yesterdays Su-
preme Court decision upholding the
right of the Civil Service Commis-
sion to fire Federal workers whose
loyalty is in doubt, Mr.. Rees con-
tended that the commission has
been completely Indifferent and
evasive" to his demands that all
Communists and fellow travellers be
fired.
Transfer Case Cited.
Mr. Rees cited the case of a War
Assets Administration employe who
sought to transfer to the Commerce
Department., but resigned after
learning his loyalty to the United
States was to be investigated. He
said statements made about the
man and his family indicate a
background of Communism dating
back to the Russian revolution"
Last year, I asked the commits
sion to review its cases to deter
mine those on the Federal payroll
about whom there was reasonable
doubt concerning their loyalty to
the United States" Mr.. Rees de-
clared. "This the commission re-
fused to do, based on the confused
legal theory that Justification OF
loyalty oath was not a fraud"
Right to Reopen Case.
Commission officials have held that
once an employe takes the loyalty
oath, the commission has no legal
right to reopen his case, except
when he transfers from one agency
to another. This is what occurred
in the Morton Friedman case on
which the Supreme Court ruled yes
terday. The commission said it
had jurisdiction to question his 10y
atty when he transferred from the
Commerce Department to the War
Manpower Commission.
Mr.. Rees disagreed today with this
stand, saying the commission should
investigate every case in which an
employees loyalty is in doubt.
Again I call on the commission
to review its cases, and either dis
charge or report to the agency con-
cerned all employees who are men,
bers of Communist organization OF
about whom there is reasonable
doubt concerning their loyalty" he
said.

Move Gains in House
To Cut Income Taxes
In Low Brackets 25%
Question to Be Placed
Before Entire 6. O.. P.
Membership Soon
By Robert K. Walsh

Republican doubts that the
House will pass in the present
form the Knutson bill calling for
a 20 per cent across-the-board
income tax cut pointed today to
a possible revision to reduce
levies on low incomes by Is or
80 per cent.
AS the Ways and Means Commit
tee continued closed-door discus
sion of the fiat 20 per cent meas
ure, with indications that it will
be reported out Thursday, Chair
man Knutson insisted 1t would be
substantially unchanged"
After a House Republican Steer
ing Committee session late yester-
day, Speaker Martin announced
that mo decisions we're reached
during the huddle." He confirmed
reports that the income tax ques-
ton would be placed before the en-
tire House Republican membership
at conference later this week.
Lower Bracket Cuts Asked.
Other House members revealed
that a move is making headway
to amend the Knutson bill SO per-
sons with incomes of less than
$4,000 or $4,000 would receive a
Is or 80 per cent cut in their taxes.
The Knutson measure provides for
straight 20 per cent tax cut on
incomes up to 5000, 900 and 10k per
cent on incomes above that. 1t
has been attacked by Democrats and
some Republicans as giving more
tax relief to upper-bracket tax
payers.
The proposed changes Republican
spokesmen estimated, would result
in tax revenue decrease of about
3,700 900, 900. The estimated de-
crease under the Knutson bill would
be approximately s3,500,o00,0 900.
Democratic members of the Ways
and Means Committee today were
prepared to fight for still greater
revision of the Knutson bill, They
are centering their effort on amend
ments to increase personal exemp-
tions or substitute a graduated tax
