Herter 10 Propose
Placing Foreign Aid
Under New Agency.
4 of 6-Member Group
Would Be Picked by
Republican Leaders
By Chalmers M. Roberts

When the special House Com
mittee on Foreign Aid meets here
tomorrow, Chairman Herter will
propose a plan for a new and
all-powerful European recon-
struction corporation of six
members to handle the vast for
eign aid program. President
Truman, House Speaker Martin
and Senate President Vanden-
berg each would appoint two
members of the new agency.
This development was reported in
administration circles today and has
been well substantiated by persons
who are aroused at what they con-
slider a legislative invasion of execu-
tive functions of the Government.
Representative Herter himself has
refused to discuss his ideas for pub
lication.
Meanwhile Senator Vandenberg
was back in Washington today, pre-
pairing for the joint meeting next
Monday of the Senate Foreign Re-
lations Committee, which he heads,
and the House Foreign Affairs Com
mittee. The joint meeting is ex-
pected to receive the administra-
tion's plans for both short and long
term aid to Europe, probably from
Secretary of State Marshall
Senator Vandenberg said yester-
day in a Michigan speech that he
wanted the administration to submit
total bill'' for world wide aid, in
cluding areas other than the 16 Mar
shall plan nations.
Certain to Kick Up Row.
Mr.. Herter's plan is certain to kick
up a row with the Democratic men,
bers of the Herter Committee and
may find opponents among the Re-
publicans as we'll. Mr.. Herter's idea
is designed to insure close congress
sional supervision of whatever Mar
shall plan foreign program Is voted
by the Congress.
The Massachusetts, Republican is
known to have worked closely with
several experts on Government ad-
ministration in drafting the plan.
It is understood, however, that the
proposal has not yet been shown to
other members of the 18man group
because most of them have been

IN Persian to The Near and Mtddl
Edctt, said:
The velvet glove is gradually
slipping off the United States
iron fist. The Marshall plan is
appearing to the people of Europe
in its true shape, the enslavement
of Europe. 1t is now clear and
evident to the whole world how
right were the people of Eastern
Europe who refused the humilia-
ton of bowling to the dollar.
by this behavior the countries
of Eastern Europe not only up
held their dignity, but they also
gained from an economic point
of view. They achieved great
successes in the reconstruction of
their countries while the rulers of
some countries of Western Europe
were waiting on the doorstep OF
the United States.

CIA ReinstateS
Some Dropped
For'Security'
More Than One of II
Fired by Intelligence
Unit Get Jobs Back
By Joseph Young

The Central Intelligence Agen-
cy has reinstated some of the IL
employees it had suspended for
security reasons, it was learned
today.
Agency officials would not say
how many employees regained their
jobs, but said more than one en-
ploye got his job back"
The IL employees had been sus-
pended pending further investigation
into their backgrounds. Those re-
instated apparently convinced the
agency at a special hearing that
they were not bad security risks. y
One of the employees reinstated
it was learned, is a member of the
CIO United public Workers of
America. IUPWA officials interceded
on her behalf, strenuously object
ing to her suspension.
At the time of her suspension,
both UPWA and the agency agreed
that it was not because of her
union membership.
State Department Gets Plea.
The supersecret CIA has the same
congressional authority as the State
Department to dismiss employees it
considers bad security risks, even
though no question of disloyalty is
involved. The CIA employees were
given an opportunity to appear be-
fore a special board, but they did
not have the right of counsel.
The IL dismissals were exclusively
reported by The Star two weeks ago
Since then some of the employees
have contended that they had beer
dropped arbitrarily and for no good
cause.
Meanwhile, State Department Off.
cials studied a new plea on behalf
of seven of its employees who were
dropped for security reasons"
Counsel for the employees last
night again appealed to the de.
partment to give the employees q
hearing in an American way OF
else permit them to resign"
Thurman Arnold, Abe Fortas ane
Paul Porter, counsel representing
the seven employees, addressed theii
new appeal to the department. only
one day after State officials hao
refused to reaopen the cases. =

On Conroy's Charges 10 Reinstate Fired
AGAINST Chief Murphy Foremen, U. 5. Says
But Act Voids High Court
Ruling in Steel Union
Case, Government Argues
BY the Associated Press

The Justice Department to-
day told the Supreme Court the
Taft-Hartley Act does not take
from the National Labor Rela-
tions Board the power to order
reinstatement of discharged
foremen.
At the same time, in separate
case, the department said the new
law requires notification of recent
Supreme Court decision that the
Jones g. Laughlin Steel Corp. must
recognize the CIO Steelworkers
Union as the bargaining agent of
plant guards.
The Taft-Hartley Act excludes
supervisory workers from the ciassi
fication of "employes" entitled to
protection under the labor relations
law. Because of this provision the
Vail Manufacturing Co., Chicago,
filed petition with the Supreme
Court asking cancellation of 1945
board order to reinstate two fore
men and give them back bay.
The Justice Department, in a
memorandum signed by Solicitor
Philip B. Perlman, urged the court
today to disregard the Vail plea.
Interference With Rights Charged.
Mr.. Perlman contended the fore
men were discharged because they
had refused ito participate in a
fraudulent plan" He said the COM
pany sought to list the two as non
supervisory employees SO as to have
them vote against a union in an
election which the board was con-
ducting among nonsupervisory en-
ployes.
The solicitor general argued that
there was an interference with the
rights guaranteed by the act to nom
supervisory employees since the
firings would discourage the latter
from joining a union. The boards
order for reinstatement, Mr.. Perl
man said, was based solely on the
violation of those rights.
"The exclusion of supervisors from
the term 'employe' does not deprive
the board of power to order the re-
instatement of foremen," he said.
Under a section OF, the originat
labor act left unchanged by the
Taft Hartley amendments. Mr.. Perl.
man said, the Supreme Court has
held that the boards power to rein.
state employees is mot limited to the
reinstatement of persons who were
employees within the meaning of tht
act" He continued:
I'm view of this state of the
law, we believe that were an en-
ployer in the future to discharge
foremen under circumstances of thu
type here present the board coule
properly make the same findings oi
fact and enter the same order as il
did in this case"
Second Memorandum.
In a second memorandum, Mr.
Perlman said the department agrees
with Jones g. Laughlin that because
of the new act it would not now be
proper" to require the corporation

SECRETS OF THE SEA

Recurrently, stories crop
up about hidden treasure in
the waters of the Florida
KEYS or buried in the KEYS
themselves.
As the waters Of the keys
formed a part of the glamor-
ized Spanish Main, un-
doubttdly treasure was lost
or buried during the time
when English pirates preyed
on Spanish ships. But find
.ng treasure is as difficult
a. looking for the stored
needle in the haystack.
FeVerish hunt for treas
uFe OF supposed treasure
has occurred in Key West
or IN local waters on a good
many occasions. IL Il yard
back from Elizabeth street,
near Caroline, digging was
continued for several weeks,
and elsewhere in the city,
particularly a long the
southeasterly end Of the
Garrison Blight, the pickaxe
and the hoe have been used
in search of treasure.
Many ship, in the old
days when the lighthouse
service was in its infancy in
this area, was torn to pieces
ON the Florida Reef. In
some of the ships the crews
Were lost and whatever gold
OF silver was aboard also
was lost.
The Citizen knows of no
authentic case of gold or
silver having been recover
ed, but many a ton OF brass
OF copper has been brought
up from the sea hereabOuts.
Propellors, weighing I o II 5
each, have been salVaged.
All of which is in keep
