u. S. Will Solve
Problems, Says
Merchant, TOT
by the Assoeiotsd Press

CHICAGO, July 12.- To Henry C.
Lytton, pioneer Chicago merchant,
the first year of his second century
was pleasant and uneventful" al
though a trying period of adjust
ment" for the country as whole.
But he made this prediction
based on experience that included
four wars and five major depres-
sions:
THE problems confronting us are
the inevitable aftermath of the war
and its dislocation of our economy.
We will solve them as we have solved
others equally as serious in the
past"
Mr.. Lytton. sole survivor of the IA
pioneer merchants who helped de-
velop Chicago's State street shop
ping thoroughfare, will observe his
101st birthday anniversary tomor-
row, passing the day quietly at his
suburban Wilmette home.

Red Leader in Greece
Asks Separate Regime
In Free Sections
BY the Associated Rrsss

ATHENS, July 12.-The fugi-
tive leader of the Greek Com
munists called today for a sepa-
rate government in Greece's
"free democratic areas" and dis
patches to conservative Athens
newspapers said military con-
scription for such a government
had begun in Macedonia.
The Greek army was pressing a
strong campaign against the guer-
rillas in the north, where govern
ment oficials said leftist fighters
were attempting to carve out a
Communist state.
Nicholas Zachariades, leader of
the Greek Communist Party, de-
clared in a signed article in the
Communist newspaper Rizospastis
that the Communists had come to
an open break with nonsympathetic
political parties. He added:
THE material separation can take
effect only with creation in free
democratic areas of Greece Of free
democratic government"
This was interpreted as meaning
that the immediate declaration for
free state was the only alternative
left for the Communists.
The reports to the conservative
Athens newspapers said band OF
200 men under Capt. Eleftheriadis
raided the village of Vasilitsa, less
than a mile from the Yugoslav bor-
der in the Lake Doiran region.
The captain made q speech say
ing he represented 'the free demo-
cratic government of Greece" and
took 2a youths back across the Yu-
goslav border with him, the dis
patches added.
Rizospastis said that Zachariades,
who Is facing sentences Of one to
five years for criminal libel, had re-
turned to Athens last week after an
absence of two months.
Faces Arrest When Found.
The newspaper said he had been
attending g. democratic meeting"
in Europe. Previous reports said
that zachariades was at a Commu-
mist meeting in Strasbourg when
Militiades Aporfyrhoghennis, de-
scribed as a Greek Communist, ad-
vocated "free state" in Greece.
Police said that If Zachariades re-
turned to Athens it was to take part
in the alleged Communist uprising
which the government claimed was
foiled early this week by the arrest
OF nearly 5000 leftists.
Minister of Public Order Napo-
leon Zervas said he did not believe
Zachariades had returned, and
added that if he is found he will
be arrested.

House Unit Approves
Military Merger With
Service 'Gestapo' Ban
BY The Assoeioied Press

The bill to unity the Army, Navy
and Air Force was approved yester-
day by House subcommittee, after
it added a provision its authors said
was designed to prevent creation OF
a "gestapo" in the armed services.
Chairman Hoffman said he would
call together the full Expenditures
Committee tomorrow in an effort
to rush the measure to the floor
It has been approved already by
the Senate in slightly different
form.
The measure would establish a
National Security Council to keep
the President posted on military
matters and national security, and
substitute for the Secretaries of
War and Navy a single secretary of
national security.
Resources Board Provided.
Under the secretary Of national
security would serve three secre-
taries-without cabinet rank-of
War, Navy and Air.
The bill also would set up a Ma
tional Security Resources Board
to supervise resources and procure
unent of war material and to de-
termine policies on industrial ana
civilian mobilization.
: Under the National Security Couns
Gil would be a Central Intelligence
Agency, headed by director to be
named by the President: 1t was with
this provision that the subc ommittee
made its major changes in the
Senate measure.
r It wrote into the bill a require
ment that the director of the intel
lgence office must be civilian after
the present directors term expires.
It also would prohibit the Office from
having police or internal security
powers or subpoena powers.
Safeguard for Marine Corps.
Mr.. Hoffman said that this in
tended to prevent creation of a
"Gestapo."
At the same time, the subcommit-
tee wrote in a guarantee that there
must be nothing in the unification
which would result in the "altera-
ton of dimunition" of the Marine
Corps.
Marine Corps officers had ex-
pressed fear that the proposed
merger might reduce their units to
dress parade" outfits.

Rees 10 Seek Report
Every Month on Jobs
For Career Workers

Chairman Rees Of the House Civil
Service Committee announced LAST
night he will request the Civil Serv.
ice Commission to furnish his group
with monthly report on how many
war service employees they are dis
placing with career workers in Gov
ernment who are losing their jobs
He made the statement after the
commissions announced new pro-
gram Of aiding these career work
ers. Under the commissions plan
war service employees must he fired
to make way for permanent status
employees who are facing dismissal,
whenever 1t Is found the career
worker can I'LL the job.
Excuses and Delays Assailed.
Mr.. Rees criticized the commits
sion for excuses and delays" to his
urgings during the past year and
a half ito initiate an effective pro-
gram to protect career employees
and employees entitled to veterans
preference"
mo effective action was taken by
the executive branch of the Govern
ment, the Kansan asserted. Mean
while, thousands OF career service
employees who entered the Federal
service with faith in the merit sys-
tenn have lost their positions 80 ="
Mr.. Rees said he expects the COM
mission to carry out It's new program
promptly and effectively"
Sees Merit System In Peril.
He said he will ask the commits
sion for monthly reports as to the
number of war service employees on
the Federal pay roll by department
and agency, and the number Of war
service people who are replaced by
career employees.
"The extent to which thousands of
career service employees being are
forced from the Government, while
the commission is engaged in a
gigantic recruiting program with at
least half the pay roll war service
appointees, resolves itself into a
question of whether we shall be able
to maintain q merit civil service

Plank
Continued From First Page.)

against the man will be determined
later.
He also is wanted by the FBI as
a conditional parole violator and
police records show he has been In
trouble with the law on auto theft,
impersonation, white slave and de-
sertion charges since 1941. ...
The FBI said Virginia authorities
have first claim on Martin If murder
charges are filed, but that it has a
"prima facie" case of National Motor
Vehicle Theft Act violation.
Arraigned before Supreme Court
Justice Harry E. Schirick at Kings
ton yesterday, Martin waived ex-
tradition.
The blue trousers Martin was
wearing were described by Chief
Boss as those taken from the Burner
home and bore thesmark of Wash
ington area laundry.
Martin told him he met Plank in
Lafayette Park, Washington, about
m. last Saturday and went to the
Burner home, Chief Boss said.
They wined and dined there
Saturday, and Martin spent the
night there and probably continued
the drinking bout into Sunday" the
Kingston chief said he had learned.
Betrayed by Virginia Tags.
Fairfax police had determined
earlier that Plank had picked up a
man in Washington about 3 am.
Saturday. Plank told Mrs. Burner
when she telephoned Saturday that
he met the man after driving to
Washington some Of the eight
persons who had celebrated Fourth
of July with him at the Burner home.
Martin was arrested by Royal
Mick, a street corner traffic police
man, as he was about to drive north
out of Kingston. The policeman
noticed the Virginia license tag bear
ing numbers broadcast earlier IN the
week through 13 states.
Hailing a passing car, he gave
chase and ran down his quarry. In
the car with Martin was a sailor on
leave from the Merchant Marine. He
was locked up, too, but released IA
hours later after convincing police
he joined Martin over a drink In a
bar at Columbus Circle, New York
and continued northward.
The car and a mysterious house
guest had been sought since Plank's
body was discovered about 1880 am.
Monday at the foot of the basement
stairs. A "a caliber revolver near
the body gave the impression OF
suicide which was banished when no
fingerprints were found on it and
It was learned the car was missing.
Went AWOL From Fl. Meade.
The FBI said Martin, native OF
Taunton, Mass, left Atlanta Federal
Penitentiary last February on a con-
ditional parole. which he violated in
April. He was sentenced in Decem-
Der, 1945, for auto theft and illegally
wearing the chevrons of an Army
sergeant.
At that time, the FBI said, Martin
was an Army private AWOL from
Fort George G. Meade, Md. Before
that he had been returned to vari-
Gus prisons three times for violating
conditions of parole
One time when the FBI was look
ing for him as a parole violator, he
was found in another prison serv-
ing six months for grand larceny.
In March, 1e41, he pleaded guilty
to impersonating Government sur
yeyor at Rowland, N. c., and was
sentenced to IS months in a Federal
prison. There followed numerous
offenses including one involving
falsifying a hotel register in VII
mington, N. c., for immoral pur-
poses.

District 7een-Agers
Find Summer Jobs
Scarce, uses Says: =.

Washington teen-agers willing tc
take anything" to earn money
this summer are finding Jobs scarce
it~was learned last night. r.
Thousands Of high school and
college youths are looking for work
here. During June, the United
States Employment Service placed
exactly SO Of them.
Fred z. Hetzel, District USES di-
rector, estimated 5000 young people
some Of them seeking permanent
jobs - joined Washington's labor
force last month. This figure was
based on previous experience, school
figures and employment records,
and allowed for a certain number
Of them going to camps or to homes
elsewhere for the summer.
1875 Registered for Jobs.
So far, 1875 youths and girls un-
der 81 are registered for jobs with
the USES this summer. Mr.. Het-
eel said other thousands are looking
for work on their own and probably
doing no better than those listed
with the USES.
During the war and immediate
postwar period, employers were 30
anxious to get high school and COL
lege students that before school
ended, USES workers would 60 into
the schools to seek out prospective
employees and register them. This
year, the USES didn't do that be-
cause it had so many job-seekers
already on its rolls.
The return Of veterans, Govern.
ment employe cuts and the re-entry
of thousands of women into the
labor force have contributed to the
surplus of workers and the scarcity
of job openings, Mr.. Hetzel said.
Experience Asked.
Now that they have q choice, he
explained, employers specify they

Whatever Else You Do, Don't
Fight a Near-Sighted Bull
By HARRY MACARTHUR.

You probably don't know as much
about bull-fighting as you ought to
know. We didn't know anything
about 1t until we sat down the other
night with Peter Borras, the Madril-
Ions host, and his brother and a
friend, both of them of Spanish
origin, too. How bull-fighting got
into the conversation in the first
place is something we don't recall
but it did.
did you ever see a bull-f1ght?"
Mr.. Borras asked. That's another
of those things you either like or
don't like. I don't like them my
self"
1t seemed like a reasonable ques-
ton at the time, so we said no, we
never had seen bull-fight and why
was the sport so popular? That's
when we learned about bull fight
ing and we'll pass the information
along, so you'll know how to act
with decorum If you ever meet a
bull in an arena.
In the first place, lighting is
not merely fighting bull with in
tent to kill. 1t is rather, its enthusi-
asts hold, a test between mans
skill and a bulls superior strength
The bull Is rarely the winner, of
course, and no one asks him if he
wants to pit his superior strength
against the wits of a man with a
knife.
This matching Of wits against bull
is performed by a rigid set of rules
