Representative Rees, Repub-
lican, of Kansas, who was named
today as chairman of the House
Civil Service and Post Office
Committee, says he will seek leg
islation to fire Government en-
ployes where there is a reason
able doubt with regard to their
loyalty to our form of govern
ment."
The Kansan said he will back a
bill to put the burden on the indi-
vidual employe to prove he is not
a believer or follower of subversive
groups. The present system makes
1t necessary in the Government to
prove an employe is disloyal.
This makes it almost impossible
for the Government in many cases
at the present time to fire employees
who Federal officials are reasonably
certain are subversive, but yet can't
fire them because legal proof is
lacking" Mr.. Rees said.
Appointment Approved.
Mr.. Rees, whose appointment as
chairman of the committee was ap-
proved today by the Republican
Committee on Committees, said he
had not finished drafting the pro-
posed legislation, but said he ex-
pected to finish it soon. Referring
to the alleged infiltration into Gov
ernment of Communists and other
subversive elements, Mr.. Rees said:
Certainly our Government should
pe the last employer who will give
favorable consideration to the en-
ployment of those people whose
views are not in accord and in
sympathy with our form of govern
ment."
In statement on his aims as
committee chairman Mr.. Rees also
listed a congressional study of the
Classification Act of 1923, by which
the pay and job classiflcations OF
Federal employees are determined
Mr.. Rees said that various provi-
sions of the act are outmoded now
and that it was Congress job to see
that the fundamental concept of
good personnel practice is being fol-
lowed, namely, equal pay for equal
work, regardless of the department
or agency"

U. s. Forced To Make Atomic
 Bombs By Russia

WASHINGTON, (4) - Senator McMahon D.-Conn.D said last night the United States is forced to go on making and improving atomic bombs because of RusSia's refusal to accept the American plan for international control.
 As a result of this stand by Rus sia and it's aggressive and expan- sionist policy on every front" Me Mahon declared, the people of the United States have become uni fled in our determination that Rus sia shall not either by intrigue or by force accomplish the domina- ton of Europe and Asia"
 McMahon was one of eight speakers during a half hour coast to coast radio rally" in which Democratic orators warmed up for the l948 campaign by hammering at the record of the Republican, controlled Congress on labor, price, farm and housing legisla- ton.
 Tn another address which point ed an accusing finger at Moscow and the Soviet sphere, Gael Sulli- van, executive director of the Democratic national committee, said some nations are watching United States attempts to aid Eu- rope with hostile eyes"
 He likened them to "scavengers, waiting for us to move out so they can move in and impose totalitar- ian police states over peoples who are now free"

U. $. Demands
 SOviets Review Bulgarian Case

WA SHIN c TON, (H) - The United States has demanded that Russia join with America and Britain in a review of the "repreS- sive campaign" by the Bulgarian g o ernment against Bulgaria'S Agrarian Union and it's leader, Mi kola Petkov.
 Petkov, whose party is anti Communist, is under sentence of death for allegedly plotting against the Communist-controlled govern ment of his country. The United States has branded PetkOv's con viction a miscarriage of justice and has sought by various moves to save him from execution.
 Under Secretary of State Lovett announced at a news conference today that the new American pro- test against the situation in Bull garia was delivered by Ambassa- dor Bedell Smith to.the Soviet for eign ministry on Saturday.
 Previously, the United States had protested Bulgarian actions against Petkov and the Agrarian Union on August 23. It sought a review of the case by the Allied control commission, composed of representatives of Russia, the United States and Britain.
 Russia replied on August 25 that the American demand for great power intervention would consti- tute an unwarranted interference in Bulgaria's internal affairs.
 In the new note released today, the United States in turn rejected this Soviet argument and accused the Soviet Union of violating it's agreement with the United States and Britain under the Yalta pact for the development of democracy in the Balkans.

U. s. Will Increase German Production With Or Without Soviet Consent

WA s H I N c T O N, (4) - The United States has told Russia that it will not await Soviet consent to use increased production in west ern Germany for rebuilding Eu- rope, thus easing the financial burden on this country.
 The state department made this plain in a note published yeSter- day firmly rejecting Russia's pro- test against a British American decision to step up the level of in- dustry in their occupied zones of Germany to approximately that of 1886.
 The note, charging failure of the Russian government to carry out the 1945 Potsdam agreement had placed upon the United States a heavy financial burden in the oc- cupation of Germany" said:
The Nome nugget., 1947-09-03

"The United States Government is unable to accept the thesis that nothing can be done to alleviate the financial burden on the United States or to develop within the framework of the Berlin agree ment the contribution of the west ern zones of Germany to the eco- homie reconstruction of Europe until the consent of the Soviet gov ernment has been obtained"
 The note, delivered to the Rus sian embassy in Washington yes terday said further:
 The U. s. Government feels justified in pursuing objectives which have been commonly agreed in making arrangement for that purpose with any other occupying power willing to work toward the common end"

Bevin Asks U. s. To Redistribute Fort Knox Gold

SOUTHPORT, England, (P) - Foreign secretary Ernest Bevin called upon the United States to- day to redistribute "the Fort Knox gold" to eliminate constant chaos in world trade payments.
 "I am quite sure that is one of the readiest ways to assist in in creasing the purchasing power of of the devastated areas of the world" he declared in a speech of the powerful British trade union congress.
 Bevin did not explain whether he was speaking literally or sym bolically in proposing redistribu- ton of the gold. Nor did he indi- cate whether he believed the idea could be integrated with the Mar shall proposal for Europe's econo- mic rehabilitation.
 (The United States now owns over $21, ,765, ,827 ,000 worth of gold, about three fifths of the known world holdings of gold for mone- tary purposes. Approximately $12,5O0, 100000 is kept at Fort Knox, army stronghold in Ken lucky. These figures do not in- clude commercial gold such as that used in jewelryO

Four Planes Crash In Air Races In Cleveland

CLEVELAND, (P)-Air racing's newly crowned champions, pre- pairing to go home with more than $100,000 in prize money, paused yesterday to study the record of the widest race in sport flying history.
 Four planes dug into the west dirt near municipal airport during the running of the Thompson tro- phy classic at the national air races Monday. The toll was one pilot dead, two injured and one able to walk away from a mass of burning wreckage.
 The day, rich in flying marks, saw Cook Cleland of Cleveland boast the worlds closed course record to 396.1 miles an hour, a jump of 12 miles, and set a new Thompson mark for one lap by turning up 404.4 miles an hour.
 Cleland'S performance in the 2O- lap 200-mile race for $16,000 first prize topped a brilliant three-day exhibition. A second Cleland en- try, flown by Richard Becker of suburban Willoughby, finis h d second.
 The third Cleland plane figured in the days tragedy. Tony Janna- 20, popular young flier, crashed with it in the seventh lap and died in the wreckage. All three planes were Corsair navy fighters pow cred with the largest and most powerful reciprocating engines ever flown.

 Miss Barbara Seabert told au- thorities she was closing up a dry cleaning establishment Tuesday night when the gunman entered.
 After robbing her, the bandit then told the girl it was unsafe for her to be out at that hour of the night. Inquiring her destination, he walked down the street with the girl until she got to her bus stop.

Labor Pledges To Peacefully Outlaw Taft-Hartley Act
CBy The Associated Press


 Fighting words marked organ ized labOr's observance of it's own holiday this year as leaders pledg ed an all-out battle to strika he Taft-Hartley act from the statute books.
 CIO president Philip Murray de clared workers are in a lighting mood" And AFL president Will liam Green asserted that "labCr is rallying its forces to fight against oppression and depres- sion."
 Murray, speaking by radio from Kansas City, hammered at the economic consequences he fore sees.
 "I want to say most em- phatically," he declared, that the nation is heading toward another depression depression that could easily make the last one ap- pear to be only minor economic setback.
 q am not saying that another depression is just around the cor ner," the CIO chief continued. 'I am saying that the present trend of higher profits and smaller and smaller purchasing power must be halted and reversed if we are to avoid economic chaos in the fu- ture."
 As for the fight he said is ahead Murray pictured American work ing men and women as deter mined that their unions will not be weakened"
 They are determined to change the anti-labor complexion of Con- gress," he went on. "They are de- termined to wipe the infamous Hartley law from the statute books"
 Green, addressing a Labor Day rally at Chicago's Soldier Field, pledged that the AFL's fight will be Waged mot with ill-considered strikes, but with ballots, in the peaceful, democratic, and Ameri- can way"

U. $. Must Give Speedy Aid To Stop European Crisis

WASHINGTON. LP) - Under secretary of state Lovett said to- day that the economic crisis in Flu rope is developing much faster than expected and some kind of American action to meet it appar- ently will be necessary before the end of the year.
 In making the grimmest presen- tatiOn of the European picture since Secretary Marshall put for ward his self-help recovery plan, LOVett repeatedly refused to say flatly that a special session of Congress later this year would be necessary.
 But he strongly indicated to a news conference that a special session might be needed.
 He said that appropriate steps evidently will have to be taken in a matter of months rather than some time next year. He declared such steps might cover either tenn pOrary devices, such as extension of financial assistance by the world bank where possible, or might embrace what he called per manent measures.
 By permanent measures he Ob- Viously referred to the Marshall plan for extension of American assistance to Europe on a long range self-help basis.
 At another point, Lovett said that it is now certainly later than we think.
 There are two reasons for this, the underSecretary said, explain ing them as:
 l. The fact that, in his view, the effects of the British financial cri- sis have been very contagious. LoVett said that he could not com ment or enlarge upon this. But it is a known opinion of American officials that Britain's recent suc- cessful efforts to relax provisions of it's loan agreement here would bring requests for various kinds of help from other European coun- tries.
 2. The resources of many Euro pean countries have had to be in- creasingly diverted from produc- tive uses-suCh as the purchase or manufacture of machinery for new plants-to productive uses such as the purchase of food.
