On Maryland
Autos Feared
BY the Associotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Dec. 1.-Neighbor-
ing States eventually may impose
some kind of ban on Maryland au-
tomobiles unless the Free State en-
acts a motor vehicle inspection law
Details of such a prospect came
yesterday from w. Lee Elgin, COM
missioner of motor vehicles, who in
cidentally is urging Maryland law
makers to pass an inspection meas
ure similar to one that failed tt
pass in 1947.
Administrators from II States
and the District of Columbia con-
sidered the question at a recent
meeting in Washington, Mr.. Elgir
disclosed.
They passed a resolution that
would slap a virtual ban on the
interstate operation of uninepectec
autos.
This action called for abandon
ment-"after a reasonable time
of mutual agreements between
States on auto inspection, pacts be-
tween States that have compulsory
test laws and those that do not.
Maryland is entirely surrounded
by States which require car inspec-
ton for minimum safety standards

the progress his organization had
made in the Federal employees field.
Some time ago he bluntly told OFF,
cials of the AFL American Fedora
tion of Government Employees that
he was very much disappointed
in the relative failure to unionize
Federal workers.
Therefore, the CIO action spurred
AFL officials into action. A con-
ference has been arranged for next
week between Mr.. Green and James
G. Yaden, the new president OF
the AFGE. William c. Doherty, an
AFL vice president and the head
of the National Association of Let
ter Carriers, also will be present.
Mr.. Doherty, whose union has
succeeded in organizing nearly all
urban letter carriers, will use his
influence, which is considerable, in
the AFL to aid the AFGE. And in
dications are that MIR. Green will
agree to considerable AFL support
in the organizing campaign.
Mr.. Yaden is not expected to ask
for financial support. but for the
use Of as many organizers as the
AFL can spare. He feels that with
the aid of experience AFL organ
izers the AFGE can successfully
enroll many thousands Of Govern
ment workers to its ranks. He says
the union already has increased its
membership since he took Office
IAN indication Of the fertile field
we have If we take full advantage
of it."
Like the AFL, the CIO can be
expected to throw its full resources
behind whatever Federal organiza-
tional setup is decided on at its
executive board meeting here in
January. CIO top officials feel that
one of the main reasons they never
were able to organize many Govern
ment employees was because OF
UPWAs f1agrant pro-Communist
setup.
What particularly irritates both
AFL and CIO officials is that the
independent National Federation OF
Federal Employees is the largest and
wealthiest of all Government en-
ployes' unions. And the NFFE also
Is currently embarked on member
ship drive to increase its advantage.
All of which means q three-way

PAY TALKS-White House aides
| TODAY will begin discussions with
Budget Bureau and Treasury De-
partment officials to determine If it
will be financially feasible to support
a Government pay raise.
The outcome Of these talks will
definitely decide whether there is a
chance for upward Federal pay re-
visions next year.
White House officials say that
President Truman will support pay
revisions only If they can be achieved
without creating Federal deficit
spending next year. That's why
Budget Bureau and Treasury OFF,
cials will be consulted as to the
fiscal picture.
It's certain that President Truman
will ask Congress to increase sub
stantially the salaries Of top-bracket
Government officials as well as for
a general overhauling Of the CLASH
fication Act which fixes salaries for
the rest of the Governments CLASH
fed employees.
The big question mark Is whether
MIR. Truman will support anything
substantial in the way of general
Federal pay raise besides Classiflca-
ton Act revisions. White House ofn-
cials say that it will all depend on
whether it can be achieved within

Electors 10 Back Truman
BY the Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala, Dec. IA
Federal judge has ruled against Gov.
James E. Folsom in his suit to force
Alabama's presidential electors to
support President Truman.
Judge c. B. Kennamer threw the
Governors suit out of Federal Court
here yesterday. The Governor Pc
tition for a permanent injunction to
prevent the electors from voting for
the States Rights ticket was dis
missed, Judge Kennamer said, be-
cause his court has no Jurisdiction.
Gov. Folsom also had sought a
mandamus to require the electors
to support the President and a
declaratory Judgment defining the
rights of electors.
Jack Crenshaw, Gov. Folsom's
chief counsel, said Judge Kennamer's
ruling would be appealed to high
courts, perhaps to the Supreme
Court direct.
The electors are pledged to vote
for Gov. j. Strom Thurmond Of
South Carolina. who headed the

TOP HATS AND BRASS-The
Hoover Commission is expected to
recommend substantial reorganiza-
ton in the operation Of the State
Department and the National De-
fense Establishment.
Hoover Commission members are
sharply critical of the State Depart
ment's present organizational setup,
asserting that antiquated and cum
bersome operating methods fre.
quently prevent the speedy handling
of foreign policy matters.
Also, some commission members
are critical of the social club" at
mosphere often found in the State
Department. They want outside ex-
perts on foreign affairs to be given
more Of q chance to make their
views known, and a greater oppor-
tunity for regular career employees
to advance up the ladder regardless
of social backgrounds.
The Hoover group is equally as
critical of the National Defense set
up. Most members feel that the
recent merger of Army, Navy and
Air Force Departments was merger
in name only and that real unity Of
operation has not been reached.

| Many of the personnel involved

whether any Of the material un-
