Under Mr.. Stewards proposals,
the bureaus would have to hire

Civil Service Commission, unless
the agencies gave a full explana-
ton in writing to the President or
the commission. in each individual
case, as to why they thought the

This procedure. Mr.. Steward be-

It's expected that the Civil

the proposal. Commission officials
say they have done as much as

Russians Reported
Still Backing Tito's
Demands on Austria
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Feb. 9.-Russia re-
newed support of Yugoslavia' s ter
ritorial claims on Austria today
American sources reported, despite
her quarrel with Yugoslav Pre-
mier Marshal Tito.
Russia restated her view soon
after the Big Four Foreign Min
isters' deputies convened for a
third big try at writing the long
delayed peace treaty.
The conference had been hailed
by Western diplomats as a place
for Russia to match her recent
peace talk with hard action in
settling Europe's problems.
East-West differences on Yugo-
slavia's claims for 800 square miles
of Southern Austria have been the
principal stumbling bloc in nearly
three years Of negotiating for an
Austrian treaty.
Russia May Change Stand.
| An official American observer
said he would not discount the
possibility that Russia might
change her stand later. None of
the deputies expected concessions
at the very outset of the meet
ing.
A British observer said only
that Russia wanted to hear the
Yugoslav claims once again. Both
the American and British sources
said the West took the view that
no useful purpose could be served
by a Yugoslav restatement. West
ern opposition to the Yugoslav
claims continues unchanged.
The British and American
sources said the Soviet deputy,
Georgi N. Zarubin, began by blam-
ing the West for the previous
breakdown of the talks on Aus
Itria last spring and said Russia
had made concessions looking to-
ward an agreement. Russia had
scaled down her demand for
5000, 100000 worth of German
owned assets to $150.O00. 900. and
cut slightly her claims on Austrian
oil wells.
However, the American source
said the general atmosphere OF
this conference was more cordial
than that of the last.
No Action on Suggestion.
Meeting in London's historic
Lancaster House under the chair
manship of Samuel Reber. Ameri-
can deputy. conferees took no
decision on the Russian sugges-
tion and adjourned until tomor-
row.
The official British observer
said the three deputies expressed
grave doubts" whether a hearing
of Yugoslavia claim would serve
any useful purpose.

their claims in detail during pre-

Judge Helps Prisoner
In Suit 10 Gain Release
In Time for Christmas

Chief Judge Bolitha j. Laws
yesterday ordered the trial date
advanced in an injunction suit in
which a Lorton inmate has asked
District Court to force the Dis
trict Parole Board to return him
to the courts jurisdiction so that
he may plead for freedom.
The order was signed on behalf
of William R. Deaton. As, after a
conference between Judge Laws
and Attorney John Webster. The
court assignment commission will
set specific trial date.
The injunction suit invokes a
law under which a prisoner may
apply to the parole board to have
his case referred back to the court
so that it may consider reducing
the prisoners sentence.
Mr.. Webster filed the suit to
speed the process of getting Dea-'
tons case out of the parole board
and before the court to permit

Deaton. who admittedly took

injury, was convicted last year
of a narcotics law violation-his
first criminal offerse. Judge
Richmond B. Keech gave him a
suspended sentence and sent him
to a Federal rehabilitation hos
pital for drug addicts. Judge
Keech indicated at the time his
intent was not to punish, but to
help Deaton.
When Deaton was released by
the hospital as cured, however.
the parole board ordered him to
serve out his time at Lorton Re-
formatory. Deatons lawyer said
this action was counter to the
courts intent. and filed the in
