State Agency Denies
Urging Paper Export
BY the Associotsd Press !

The State Department said today
it is not urging shipments of Amer
ican newsprint to Europe or any
where else.
Moreover $. it said it. has no plans
to send newsprint to Europe under
the recovery program even though
an ample supply of paper would
help maintain a free press there.
The departments position was
set forth in a letter to Senator
Capehart, Republican, OF Indiana,
which his office made public.
Senator Capehart wrote the de-
partment January IA saying that
he bad heard the department is
advocating newsprint exports. He
asked for export and import figures
Charles E. Bohlen. State Depart
ment counselor, replied:
Since the termination of news
print controls on December 81, 1945
the department has not advocated
shipment of newsprint from the
United States to Europe or to any
other destination"
Mr.. Bohlen agreed with Senator
Capehart that the maintenance oil
a free press depends on adequate
supplies of newsprint. He pointed
out this was true in Europe as well
as in the United States and added
"The shortage of newsprint in
these countries is a serious handicap
in combating subversiye propa-
ganda."

legal holiday for the first time in
the Free States history. While
schools remained open, the occasion
was marked by Lincoln's birthday
programs. State, municipal and
county offices were closed, along
with banks and courts.
The 1947 Maryland Legislature

Springfield Honors
Lincoln at Tomb and
Friendship Train
BY the Associafed Press

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Feb. H.
Abraham Lincoln's tomb in Oak
Ridge Cemetery and the old Wabash
Railroad Depot where he said good
by to Springfield were focal points
today as the Nation observed his
139th birthday anniversary.
Traditional homage at the tomb
was highlighted by the American
Legion's 14th annual pilgrimage and
wreath laying ceremonies.
At the site where Lincoln deliv-
cred his famous farewell address to
Springfield citizens In 1861, spe-
cial program signaled the start OF
a friendship train bearing his name
and laden with food contributions
for Europe and Asia.
Governor Speaks.
Gov. Dwight H. Green, at the
ceremony, said the friendship train
"is in full harmony with the ideal
ism that our people associate with
the memory of Lincoln"
The Governor said Americans
have a strong feeling that only
through hard work and thrift and
honest effort to help themselves can
the nations of Europe again get
back on their feet economically"
I'm my judgment" Gov. Green
added, "all of our efforts toward
the relief of suffering abroad must
be designed to bring about the end
to help the people of Europe to
help themselves"
O'Neil Pays Tribute.
National Comdr. James F. O'Neil
of Manchester, N. H, declared at
the Legion's observance that in
vincible strength on the side Of
freedom" offered the only check
mate to tyranny"
"If Lincoln were with us today,
he would be in the vanguard of all
the freedom loving men and women
who, are seeking to lead the I nited
Nations to enduring peace and the
banishing OF war forever.
His formula would be that of
the American Legion-peace and
security through strength" Mr..
O'Neil said.

Hearings Open Today
On Merger Of Guard
with Other Reserves

Hearings were under way at the
Pentagon today on the question Of
merging the reserve units of the
armed forces, including the National
Guard, into single Federal re-
serve.
A Committee on Civilian Compo-
nents, appointed by Secretary of
Defense Forrestal and headed by
Assistant Secretary Of the Army
Gordon Gray, will hold four days
of open hearings at which represent
atives Of the Army, Navy and Air
Force reserves, veterans organiza-
tions, ETC., will appear. The COM
mittee has been studying the subject
for several months.
MFR. Forresta1 announced the start
of the hearings at a news conference
yesterday.
Maj. Gen. Harry H. Vaughan,
President Truman's Army aide, has
advocated the merger of the civilian
components in an article in the
Reserve Officers Association Official
magazine. Gen. Vaughan is not
scheduled to testify, and Mr.. For
restal's announcement Of the start
of the hearings stated that "the
invitation list Is restricted to those
with experience in various phases OF
the committees study"
Brig. Gen. E. A. Evans, executive
director Of the ROA, will be the first
witness, and the testimony of Maj
Gen. M. A. Reckord, Maryland ad-
jutant general and legislative rep
|resentative of the National Guard
Association, will close the hearings
on February "a. The Guard aSso-
citation has attacked the merger
proposal.

H. N. Willoughby of the Army Ord
nance Association.

yesterday his committee on med
ical and hospital services will leave
Monday to inspect the principal
armed forces medical installations.
The group is headed by DR.. Paul r.
Hawley, former Veterans Admin
istration medical chief, and is study
ing the possibility of merging the
facilities.
The question Of a new dress uni
form for the armed services Is now
before President Truman, Mr.. For
restal said, and the new Air Force
uniform probably will be announced
late this month.
He asked Gen. Bradley, new Army
Chief of staff, to attend yesterdays
conference, Mr.. .Forrestal said, so
that correspondents would have
visible proof that we still have an
Army, and I might add We still
need one"
"The Navy and Air Force have
been more successful in getting into
the news columns of late" he OBJ

Bond Drive Scheduled
AS Initiation Antidofe
Despite Price Drop
BY fhs Asseeioied Press

Despite market price slumps the
Treasury has set April 15-June 80
for new fight imitation" drive.
This calls for a security loan"
sale of Government savings bonds,
previously announced.
Secretary Snyder, who has long
urged anti-inflation action, refused
to say whether Imitation remains
the Nations No. 1 problem"
Asked that directly at a news
conference yesterday, Mr.. Snyder
replied: "No comment"
Awaits Positive Trend.
Pressed for an answer, and for
comment on the market price
drops, he said:
Things don't change overnight.
We have to observe the effects of
the present situation. I see nothing
to justify us to accept this as a
positive trend one way or the other" +"
The Treasury chief conceded that
he might have" discussed the mar
ket dip with the President, whom
Mr. Synder sees almost daily.
Secretary Snyder was largely non
commital on whether the market
development will bring any change
in the Treasury's policy of tight
ening down on credit by draining
the banks of money paid for taxes.
I'VE always have to approach the
problem in its broadest aspects he
said. I'VE have to take into consid-
Grafton every sector of the economy.
We feel we are following a sound
and judicial policy"
Savings Also Stressed.
"The fight imitation" aim of the
security loan savings bond drive
was set out in written announce
ment by Mr.. Snyder. The an
said another aim is to
promote savings. .a, "a .,s.nee, "
The drive, actually an intensifi-
cation of the usual bond sales eff
forts by revival of some wartime
bond selling" campaign methods,
was one of the measures President
Truman listed last November II in
sweeping anti-inflation proposals to
Congress.
Goals for the drive are to be set
at a conference of volunteer work.

ForrestaI Urges Law
To Tax Pensions Up 10
Degree Of Disability
By John A. Giles

The more than 10000 Arr.y, Navy
and Air Force officers who have re-
ceived tax-free disability pensions
since 1889 will be re-examined and
the tax exemptions allowed only on
that proportion of their payments
granted for actual disabilities, If the
recommendations of Secretary Of
Defense Forrestal are followed.
Mr.. Forrestal disclosed at a news
conference yesterday he had sent q
four-point recommendation for re-
vamping the armed forces retire.
ment law to Chairman Elston, Re-
publican, of Ohio, of the House
Armed Services Subcommittee in
vestigating the question. He added
that he had sent a copy Of the letter
to President Truman.
If the officers refuse to submit to
re-examination, Mr.. Forrestal wrote,
their persons should be stopped. He
added that periodic examinations
should be given the retired officers
to determine their conditions.
Other Recommendation.
In addition to the re-examination
plan, he recommended that:
/. Benefits for physical disability
be related to the percentage OF
actual incapacity for duty-as Is
true of Veterans Administration dis
ability cases among reserves and
enlisted men today.
q. Physical disability benefits-and
other provisions of the retirement
laws as well-be applicable on the
same basis to the personnel Of all
armed services, both regular and
reserve, officer and enlisted.
8. Tax exemption, If 1t is to apply
at all, be applicable only to pay
ments representing benefits for ac-
tual physical disability, on a per-
centage basis.
Hearings Resume Wednesday.
The subcommittee will resume its
hearings next Wednesday. They be-
gan after it was revealed that Maj.
Gen. Bennett E. Meyers had re-
ceived tax exempt disability pen
sion of $3.50 month. A Senate
committee brought out that Gen.
Meyers, wartime Air Force procure
ment officer, had operated a plane
parts manufacturing plant. He soon
will 60 on trial for perjury and
subornation of perjury as result
Of that inquiry.
Robert Smart, Of the House sub
committee staff, said today Mr.. For
restal probably will be called as a
witness toward the close of the in
quiry and that his recommendations
will be turned over to another sub
committee, headed by Representa-
tive Johnson, Republican, Of Cali
fornia, which will have charge Of
writing any revisions of the retire
ment laws.
MIR. Forrestal pointed out the basic
retirement law was enacted on
August 8. 1861-two weeks after the
first Battle of Bull Run. He added
that 'it Is hardly surprising that a
law of such antiquity needs revi-
sion"

theme of the speech, Paul E. Lock-
wood, Gov. Dewey's secretary, said:
"The failures of the foreign pol
icy of the present national admins
tration have brought about confu-
sion among the American people and
fear that we are drifting toward
another catastrophe.
Gov. Dewey will propose

These proposals will deal spe-

Personnel ceilings require each
Government agency to get down to
a certain number of employees on
their payroll by a certain time-in
this case the agencies probably
would have to pare their payrolls
to their reduced quotas by July /,
1949.
Government officials say this
would be a vastly greater task than
1t was in 1916. At that time, they
point out, the Government was still
in the process of getting rid of its
wartime employees, and 1t wasn't
much trouble to get rid Of excess
personnel. These employees were due
to be dismissed eventually anyway.
But the Government has just
about completed its conversion to a
peacetime basis, and further mass
personnel cuts would work great
hardships on all agencies and en-
ployes alike, these officials say
CONTRAST-What do you think
is the difference in work output be-.
tween the best and the poorest of
employees in Government offices?
Well, we guessed wrong, too.
Civil Service Commission tests
show that the best workers are
$50 per cent or three
times as much as the
most inefficient ones.
NEW LOYALTY FIGURES-The
latest data on the Government en-
ployes' loyalty investigations is fur
ther refutation of charges made at
the outset of the program that it
would degenerate" into a witch
hunt.
The FBI up to now has made
preliminary investigations of 331, ,134
workers, clearing all but 359 of them.
In these cases, the preliminary check
showed a full-fiedged investigation
was necessary.
Forty of these full-scale investiga-
lions have been completed. OF

A spokesman for Local 1888 of the
