By Split in Socialists

CLEVELAND. Ohio. Jan. II (P)
Premier Alcide de Gasperi, visibly
worried at news from Rome that
the Socialist Party had broken
apart, today said statements that
the split would lead to civil war
were ridiculous"
Mr.. Gasperi admitted the news
had a poor psychological effect
on his mission to the United States
to seek a loan and post -UNRRA
aid.
He said he would communicate
Immediately with the italian En-
bassy in Washington to obtain more
precise details. He observed that
news reports so far did not indicate
how large a faction had deserted
the party or how many Constituent
Assembly deputies were included
amor.g those who walked out.
AS for civil war, the Premier
laughed and asked: "Who is going
to fight it?"

A third dissident group, the party

erce with the committee OF the

Up to the Federation itself.

Mr.. Newell told The Star: II
am sorry to have to state that I
know little about the Washington
Urban League, beyond what they
say they are in their letter to me.
I, assume that it is an organiza-
ton that is a thoroughgoing group
and SO must appreciate the fact
that as president of the Fedora
tion I must refer their letter to
the Federations for such disposi-
ton as they might want to make
of it,"

Patronage Ak Delay
For Veteran Students
Sought by Democrats

Senate Democrats conceded today
they could not save the jobs OF
about $50 Senate employees who have
received dismissal notices, effective
next Wednesday, but they hope Re-
publicans will spare, until next June,
several former servicemen working
at the Capitol while attending
school.
Senator Mcfarland, Democrat, of
Arizona, who protested in the Sen
ate yesterday that the COP edict
violates at least the intent Of the
Selective Service Act provision de-
signed to safeguard jobs of vet
Grams, remarked that 'the Repub-
Hcans have the votes"
Letters sent by Senate Sergeant
at Arms Edward F. McGinnis to
Senate doorkeepers, pages, elevator
operators, policemen and various
other Senate employees were reported
TO be the first move in Republican
plan to replace about 300 Demo-
cratic-sponsored job-holders with
Republican applicants.
House Employees Wait.
House employees said they expect
to receive similar notices "any day
now" House Sergeant at Arms Will
liam F. Russell said no dismissal
notices have been issued. He added
he does not know how soon there
may be any on the House side.
The Senate dismissals do not ap-
ply to the postmaster, document
room superintendent and the Senate
police captain. The other dismis-
sails, although effective January Is,
may not mean every affected Senate
employe will be automatically out Of
a job that day. Mr.. Russell said in
cumbents will be invited" to stay
at their posts until requirements are
made, if successors do not report
Immediately.
Senator Mcfarland, in his Senate
speech and later, said he had no
objection to patronage turnover" !"
But he raised the question that the
discharge of several former service
men from Capitol jobs might violate
the Selective Service Act. He cited
provisions by which veteran can
not be fired within a year af OBJ
taing a job after leaving the mil
itary service.
Decries Example.
Declaring that the Republican
order, insofar as it affected veterans,
seemed at least to go contrary to the
intent of that provision, Senator
McFaralnd asked:
what can we expect of private
employers if the Congress of the
United States sets such an ex-
ample?"
Republican spokesman, while de-
clining to be drawn into an argu-
ment on the subject, voiced private
opinions that the provision does not
apply to veterans who took jobs at
the Capitol knowing that the posi-
tions would be temporary"
There was no official confrnat ton
in Republican circles of report,
hopefully mentioned by many re-
cipients of the letters that former
servicemen attending school while
holding jobs will be kept OH the pay
roll unit. June.
