any decision until the next session
of Congress. The committee has q
subcommittee studying the entire
efficiency rating problem under the
Craftsmanship of Senator Baldwin,
Republican, of Connecticut. The
subcommittee began its study
shortly before Congress adjourned.
Senator Baldwin recently an
nounced that his subcommittee
would delve into the matter shortly
after the first of the year, with a
number of hearings planned. Com
mittee sources said yesterday that
the group would prefer that the
Civil Service Commission take no
action until the subcommittee
completes its investigation and
makes its report.
Incidentally, there is considerable
sentiment within the Senate group
in support of Miss Perkins proposal.
Another obstacle to immediate
consideration of the plan is the
violent controversy that it has
stirred up among Government off,
cialS. Some strongly support the
plan, while others just as strongly
opposes it.
The Federal Personnel Council,
which serves as the oficial advisory
unit to the Civil Service Commission,
Is expected to ask for the right to
make its own recommendations to
the commission regarding Miss Per-
kins' plan before the commission
takes final action.
1t appears that Miss Perkins two
colleagues on the commission, Presi-
dent Harry B. Mitchell and James
M. Mitchell, will agree to the per-
sonnel councils requests. President
Mitchell is said to want to give Miss
Perkins plan careful consideration
while Commissioner James M.
Mitchell just assumed his post last
week and would like more time to
study the matter.
Those favoring the plan assert
that overhauling of the Government
efficiency rating system is long over
due. They contend that the present
system has resulted in great injust-
ices against Federal employees and
accuse their opponents of having
stalled" on the problem for many
years.
Those officials opposing the plan
and this includes some persons In
the commissions own efficiency
rating division-declare that the
nlan might not be workable. Furth-

Army May Ask Fund
Allotment 10 Speed
Jap Recovery Plan
By the Assoeioisd Press

Congress probably will be asked
to speed up the Army's four-year
plan to make Japan self-sustaining
and a bulwark against the spread of
communism in the Far East.
Responsible officials said yester-
day the Army and State Depart
ments are agreed that an increase
in the present American outlay for
economic purposes is needed to get
Japanese industry and trade out of
low gear. But they hope to balance
any cost increase by reducing Gen.
MacArthur's occupation forces in
Japan along with the number of
American troops in Korea.
The aim is to make Japan self
supporting by 1851. Based on the
working principle that there will
be no peace treaty in the mean
time, it Is being followed in the
face Of Soviet Russian attacks on
American motives as imperialistic
and despite rival proposals that the
United States back q Marshall
Plan" for all Asia.
Plan Of To Slow Start.
Japan's four-year plan is just
getting of to a slow start. A sur
vey group which included Paul G.
Hoffman, now Economic Co-opera-
ton administrator, and Army Un-
dersecretary William H. Draper. re-
turned from Tokyo last spring with
an estimate that $500000,000 would
be needed all together from the
United States by 1851 for raw ma
terials and equipment in Japan.
Congress was asked for $50, ,0O0,-
600 the first year, but trimmed esti-
mates so that there Is about $60,-
100000 in sight for the twelve
months extending through next
June.
Detailed estimates of what is con-
sidered needed in the second year
are still being put into shape and
are subject to budget approval. In
the meantime, American bankers
have extended Japan a $50, 600 900
credit for raw materials, and Con-
gress has authorized a $150,000, 600
revolving fund to finance cotton
purchases for all the occupation
zones. Japan will share in this, but
1t Is still to be set up.
Cost Reduction Stressed.
Reducing the cost of occupation
has figured largely in a detailed
review of American policy by the
Army, the State Department and
Gen MacArthur's headquarters

expenses.
Accelerating the Japanese econ.
omy is in line with settled American
policy. The other Pacific allies
represented on the 11-nation Fal
Eastern Commission were put or
formal notice months ago that the
United States considers the CHIEF

' International Control
OF Jerusalem Urqed
In Pope's EncycIicaI
by the Assoeioted Press

VATICAN CITY, Oct. 23.-Pope
Plus XII recommended today the
Observation-Disclosures of Jerusalem
and the guarantee of free access tc
holy shrines throughout Palestine.
His views were made known in
an encyclical to Roman Catholic
cardinals, patriarchs and bishops
that steered a strict course of neu-
trality between the two non-C Chris
tian communities warning in PaleS-
tine.
The encyclical laid great stress
on halting the fighting to save lives
and suffering. 1t made a special
plea for protecting Holy places and
relics. It reviewed the Pope's long
standing efforts to avoid war in
Palestine and to mitigate or end II
after hostilities flared.
Repeats Call to Prayer.
It was the second papal encyclical
on Palestine In six months and
reiterated a call to prayer for the
Holy Land made first on May /.
In his recommendations on Jeru-
salem the Pope expressed hope that
the United Nations would feel 1t
"expedient, as better guarantee
for the safety of the Sanctuaries
under the present circumstances, to
give an international character to
Jerusalem and its vicinity where
20 many and so precious reminders
Of the life and death of our Savior
are to be found.
ut is also necessary to assure with
international guarantees both the
right OF free access to the holy
places scattered throughout Pales-
tine and the freedom of religion
for customs and religious tradi-
tions."
Count Folke Bernadotte, the slain
q. N. mediator had recommended
in his final report that the United
Nations adhere to its original plan
for Decentralization of Jerusa-
lem.
holy Sepulcher Hit.
Dispatches from Palestine have
told of damage to shrines, including
q shell hit on the Holy Sepulcher,
the most sacred spot in Jerusalem
for Christians. In reference to such
damage the Pope said:
"And what makes our grief even
more intense are mot only the re-
ports which continually come into us
of the destruction and damage suf-
fered by holy places, but also the
anxiety which these reports arouse
in us for the fate Of the same holy
places, which scattered throughout
all Of Palestine and especially on
the soil of the Holy City, were sane
titled by the birth, life and death of
our Saviour
The Pope apparently had in mind
the plight of thousands of Pales-
tinian Arab refugees. He called at
tention to a situation where thou
sands of refugees, straying and
driven from their homes, wander far
from their country in search Of
shelter and food"

Korea Reports Rebels
Fight 10 Hold Seized
Southwestern Town
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

SEOUL, Korea, Oct. 23.-South
Korean Army headquarters, an
nounced late today that rebels
had captured the town of Po-
song but were being engaged by
loyal troops.
The town in southwest Korea is
I26 miles southwest of Sunchon,
which the army said was recovered
Friday night.
After the rebels fled from Sun
chon, four police stations along the
route to Posong were attacked, in
dicating 1t was the Sunchon fugi-
tives who took Posong. Their
strength was not known, however.
YOsu Situation Unclear.
Korean official sources continued
to disagree about the sitaution at
Yosu. The rebellion began We'd
nesday in the army garrison of that
southern port, 20 miles south OF
Sunchon in the American occupa-
ton zone.
Premier Lee Bum Suk laid 1t to
Communists, abetted by some ex-
treme rightists.
Yosu has been reported recap
tured several times, but latest army
headquarters dispatches said 1t re-
mained in rebel hands. The army
said loyal forces were heading to-
ward it from Sunchon.
Korean air observers said, how
ever, that the rebels were operating
two trains northward out of Yosu
The flyers were dropping leaflets
urging rebels to surrender.
Half of Rebels Declared Seized.
Casualty figures were lacking, but
T. Y. Yoon, home minister, said he
believed the total killed on the gov
ernment side thus far was less than
500.
This apparently included $50 po-
lice and anti Communists who, po-
lice said. were executed at Sunchon
Wednesday at rebel court"
Mr.. Yoon also estimated that
about half of the total of $500 rebels
had been captured. Other govern
ment sources have put the rebel
strength at 1000, with about TOO
captured.
All quarters agreed that no Amer
leans had been harmed in any way.
An American sergeant returned
from the area tonight and told a
news conference there was pretty
heavy firing" at Sunchon, but the
townspeople did not seem to be in
any panic.
Saw No Rebels I'm Streets.
The sergeant, Donald E. Snead
81, of Manchester, Md, was attached
to small military advisory group
and was sent to Sunchon to obtain
information. He said he found the
rebels had arrived there before him
but he did not actually see them
in the streets. He left again after
a haH-hour.
A report from Cheju Island. long
time Communist hotbed of the
South coast, said Red guerrillas had
raided q village and wounded three
Korean soldiers. This apparently
was not connected with the mann
land uprising. The rebels were said
to have attempted no landings on
