ception and understanding Of the
working problems involved.
This will lead to better admins
tration both here and abroad, Army
officials feel. Heretofore, employees
who accepted overseas duty went at
their own job risk-they had no
guarantee that their jobs here would
be available to them on their return.
The new order makes it certain that
they will get back their jobs when
they return.
Overseas duty will be Of one and
| two years duration. Officials say
that many employees had been will
ing to go in the past, but hestitated
because of future Job security. Un-
der the new policy, it is expected
that these and other employees will
be more than willing to 60 over
seas.
/ PAY RAISES-Chairma ReeS OF
| the House Rules Committee plans to
go before the House Rules Com
mittee Tuesday or Wednesday to
ask for a rule on the Federal pay
raise measure. Appearing with him
will be Representative Sadlak, Re-
publican, of Connecticut, also a
member of the House Civil Service
Committee.
1t is expected that the commit
tee will grant the rule, although
there may be a slight delay until
House and Senate leaders agree on
what the amount should be. In
dications are that Federal employees
will get somewhere between $400
and $468, with postal workers get
ting slightly more.
Meanwhile, the announcement by
the Senate Policy Committee that
the Senate will definitely take up
the Federal pay raise measure at
this session of Congress is very good
news for Federal workers. 1t virtu-
ally assures them that they will get
pay raises by the time Congress goes
home sometime next month.
TIPOFF-It's definite that the
Civil Service Commission able and
popular president, Harry B. Mitchell
will retire at the end of the year.
Although President Truman could
have extended his term Indefinitely
Mr.. Mitchell asked the Pfesideht
to limit his term to December 81
. 1948. This was the tipoff that Mr.
Mitchell definitely intends to resign
from the job he first assumed on
May II, 1888.
DEFENSE-The CIO has gone to
bat for it's affiliated United Public
Workers of America in UPWA's fight
against the so-called red rider, .di-
rected at it by the House. The
amendment is being tackled on to all
appropriation bills and would force
the firing of all employees belonging
to unions whose officers do not sign
nom Communist affidavits.

director, has sent letters to the

tStassen Recommends
international Stand
Against Aggression
By Gould Lincoln

Harold E. Stassen, pushing int,
West Virginia in his quest for thi
Republican presidential nomination
told a large audience at Charleston
last night that the United State:
should invite other members of ths
United Nations to join in security
measures against aggression. HI

or her Communicated satellites
/ Particularly, he would address the
invitation to the five signatories o1
the Brussels Pact-England, France
Belgium, the Netherlands and Lux
embourg. The proposed declaration
OF policy would be made under
Article 81 of the United Nations
Charter. 1t would say I'VE would
view any aggression against another
nation as a grave threat to our own
future security"

citation under the charter
AS long-range policy, designed
to strengthen the u N. and to keep
the peace of the world, Mr.. Stassen
also proposed general conference
of the member nations to review
and amend the charter.
The present veto should be ended,
Mr.. Stassen said. "in every partic-
ular." The jurisdiction of the In
ternational Court of Justice should
be expanded, he continued, and
should be taken to implement the
system of justice in individual
human rights, and to establish the
beginnings of United Nations
police force.
The former Minnesota Governor
again demanded that the United
States outlaw the Communist Party
organization, and recommend its
outlawing in all of the freedom
loving countries of the world while
there is yet authority in free men
to do So"
Calls Dewey "Too Soft"
At press conference in Washing
ton yesterday, Mr.. Stassen said the
attitude of Gov. Dewey of New
York toward the Communist issue
in this country was too soft" Gov
Dewey is chief opponent of Stassen
for the presidential nomination, and
the two men are engaged in a
struggle in Oregon for delegates to
the Republican National Conven-
ton. The issue there will be de-
| cided in primary May 2l.
| Mr.. Stassen is the sole presi-
dental entry in the West Virginia
Republican primary Tuesday. He
told the West Virginians, Il regret
that none of the other national
candidates filed"
Turning first to the Communists,
Mr.. Stassen said their chief weapon
was ''infiltration' and he did not
believe America should sit back
and ignore the menace to the free
dom of men of the aggressive Com
munist Party activities stemming
from Russia"

he said, air power and research

This rider introduces into our
law a novel and un-American doc
trine," Mr.. Cowan declared in his
communication with CIO leaders.
He charged the amendment would
penalize Federal employees for be-
longing to labor organizations.
I'm addition to depriving the Fed
eral workers of fundamental consti-
tutional liberties. the rider in effect
repeals the Lloyd LaFollette Act

UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS
The full Senate Civil Service Com
mittee will meet Tuesday to take up
the measure granting Federal en-
ployes unemployment compensation
benefits.
Already reported by subcommit-
tee. the bill appears to have an ex-
cellent chance Of gaining full COM
mittee approval on Tuesday.
In addition to rs weeks of unem-
ployment benefit payments, Federal
workers would also get two weeks
severance pay. Most private industry
employees already have similar bsne-
fits.
JOBS-If the Taft Ellender- -Wag-
ner housing bill becomes law, it will
open up at least several hundred
jobs here in the Public Housing Ad-
ministration.
PHA officials are ready to present
a supplemental appropriations re-
quest to Congress If and when the
bill becomes law
GOOD RADIANCE - Meanwhile
PHA officials are very happy over
the fact that the House Appropria-
tions Committee has removed bur-
densome provision under which the
agency had to operate all of last
year.
The provision limited to 20 per
cent the number of PHA employees
who could receive salaries of $4,500
or more year. This worked great
administrative difficulties on PHA
and disrupted the agency's opera
tions considerably during the year.
Evidently the House Appropria-
tions Committee saw the error of its
way, because it removed the limita-
tion in PHAs 1s4s appropriations
measure.

A NEW WORRY

Almost before had become accustomed to wor- ryng with proper intensity about the decline of oil reserves an oil has given us new and more frighening worry Dr Eugene Ayers research chemist of the Gulf Research and Development Company, has suggested that we may exhaust domestic reserves of uranium within 30 years if we keep manufactur ing atomic bombs
 Even before a single horse power of atomic energy has become available commercially, we are being told to start worrying about the exhaustion of this supposedly "inexhaustibe" source of energy.
 Reviewing for the American Petroleum Institute the several major sources of energy-coa oil, falling water natural gas-many authorities in recent years have given us sharp warnings that we are drawing heavily power heritage. And now we are warn ed that the newest and most auring source of power may be dsappointingly small or brief.

Court Martial Reform
(New York Times


 The changes in Army and Air Force court-martial procedures and penalties announced by Army Secre- tary Royal brings military justice closer to civilian more between officers and enlisted men. As explained by the Secretary, the changes ordered part of the revisions of the Articles of War outlined in Title II of the Selective Service Act passed by the Eightieth Congress in it's closing hours One of the important changes still to be made is estab lishment of independent Judge Advocate General The Army has until Feb. to make that and other changes outlined in Title II.
 While the present revisions and the others to be made during tue next few weeks good, fundamental than these needed to correct the abuses that obvious to legally trained civilians who find themselves in uniform during national emergencies. Neither the present changes those still to be made under Title II fulfill all the recommendations made by the Vanderbilt Committee of the American Bar Association or by other Bar Association committees that have studied the problem And of the changes in the Army manual (which is used also by the Air Force) do not apply to the Navy
 The Morgan Committee appointed by Defense Secretary Forrestal to draw up unified code for all three services is to report Jan l. The committee is composed of Prof. E. M. Morgan Jr of Harvard, Chairman, and civilian representatives of Army, Navy and Air Force. It is hoped that the Morgan report will go beyond the present changes, and particularly that it will the administration of justice in the armed services from command and place it in a com- pletely independent legal department. This is the reform that most close students of courts-martial believe is fundamental.

for atom bombs and the estimated of uranium in our own national territory, this cautious chemist fears we may hit the bottom of uranium barrel within a generation.
 This dim view of prospects in the atomic age may be correct. We have means of double check ing Dr. Ayers conclusions. But we take some modcum of cold comfort from the theory that in the world continues atomic armaments for long as 30 years the world will be past redemption and scarcely fit to make commercial of atomic energy for power

Small Blsiness Suffers The Marshall Plan is proving lush windfall to American big business, but not to American small-business men. They complain that the re- covery program is hurting instead of helping.
 The European countries are so hard up for U. s. dollars that they have agreed to buy as much from each other as possible, saving dol lars to buy only essential American items.
 AS result, they have cut off trade with small U. S. exporters wherever the goods can be obtain- ed within Europe. Meanwhile, trade has gone largely to big U. s. concerns with European branch offices and representatives. The little companies which can't afford foreign branches are losing out even on normal trade.
