THE Cominform journal pre-

Asiatic countries.
The Journal. mouthpiece of the
political organization that links

developments in China the great
est defeat for world reaction and
Imperialism"
It's editorial declared: "Unques-
tionably the victory of the Chi

peoples of colonial and depend
ent countries to intensity their
struggles for national aspirations.
India. Burma, Indonesia. Wet
nam and other countries OF the
East-defined by Stain as the

The Hungarian vice-premier
claimed that "only one facet" OF

He claimed the American plan

cal campaign.
The VA oficial said: To-day as
never before. political issues are
SO inseparably entwined with such
matters as housing, social security
and other economic issues that to
deprive a group Of citizens from
actively participating in politics
means that they may be deprived
of actively participating in decl-
sions which might affect their
future"
Asserting that participation in
politics is an American tradition,
Mr.. Hertz said that to bar civil
servants from political activity
follows the path OF European
tradition.
Cites German Example.
The VA official pointed to Ger
man civil servants. who had been
indoctrinated with the idea that
he was there to serve the govern
ment regardless Of the party in
power and, as a result. found him.
self serving the Nazi party. 80.
"Would those who advocate the
idea of the non-political civil
servant agree that, If a Hitler
should run for office in America,
no civil service servant should
actively oppose him? Would they
advocate that every civil service
servant continue to function in
his job If such a party came to
power? The answer to both these
questions should be overwhelm-
ingly in the negative"
Mr.. Hertz said Federal workers
have just as much at stake IN
political issues as any one else. He
declared there Is no more valid
reason for barring a Veterans
Administration file clerk" from
actively participating in political
campaigns than there would be
for barring employees Of United
States Steel. Standard Oil, Penn
sylvania Railroad and Western
Union.
Would Retain Some Curbs.
Mr.. Hertz conceded that it may
be improper for some Government
employees occupying certain types
OF positions to enter politics &C
lively. He suggested amending the
Hatch Act to restrict their parti-
cipation but to allow the vast
majority of Government employees
complete freedom in their political
activity.
UNLESS such q revision In the
Hatch Act is made, many capable
persons may hesitate to enter the

Joint Atom Committee
Turns 10 Secrets After
Dropping Acc Probe
BY the Associated Press

The Senate House Atomic Com
mittee today took up matter
which some members said was a
top secret involving the A-bomb.
1t turned to this after deciding,
on party-line split. to drop its
probe of the Atomic Energy Com
mission.
Chairman Mcmahon said the
committee wants to hear from
Air Secretary Symington and two
deputies on an issue raised by
Senator Knowland, Republican, OF
California.
Gen. Hoyt s. Vandenberg, Air
Force chief of staff. also was
called.
Senator Knowland wouldn't say
what it was all about and neither
would Senator Mcmahon.
There was some speculation
and it was only that-that the
matter revolves around the Air
Forces ability to pick up bombs
quickly and deliver them against
an enemy in case of war.
Details May Be Withheld.
One committee member told a
reporter the issue involved relates
to top military secrets. He said
he doubted that any details would
be made public even after the
committee had heard Mr.. Syming-
ton in closed session.
Senator Knowland, who had
hinted previously that he might
have an important announcement,
said he didn't want to comment.
Yesterday he told the Senate
that the Armed Services are using
their right to classify documents
In such a way that vital informa-
tion-which doesn't involve mill
tary secrets at all-is being denied
to Congress and the public.
unless Congress is willing to
meet this situation head on" he
declared, I'VE are going to be
spoonfed with information. If we
are going to have to rely on that
information we may ultimately
be faced with another Pearl
Harbor."
Further Inquiry Urged.
The Atomic Committees party
line split-f1rst public sign OF such
a division-came when 10 Demo-
Gratis voted down the desire Of
eight Republicans to continue the
groups inquiry into incredible
mismanagement" charges leveled
by Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
Ican, of Iowa against Chairman
David E. Lilienthal and the Atomic
Energy Commission.
Senator Mcmahon called this
an end to the lengthy inyestiga-
ton, except for the expected brief
questioning of Mr.. Symington and
his aides. Representatives OF the
commission and the military
liaison committee were invited to
sit in on this inquiry.
Senator johnson. Democrat, Of
Colorado served notice that while
he wants no further investigation
of the incredible mismanage-
ment" charges he thinks further
inquiry into commission opera
tions is in order.

siderable surprise among some of
his colleagues. The Hatch Act
has always been considered a hot
potato by most Federal officials
and, therefore, studiously avoided
for public discussion. even though
some of them feel the same way
he does. But there are others who
feel just as strongly that the
Hatch Act should not be amended.
They, too. have refrained from any
public discussion on the matter.
CONFEREES - House Senate
conferees meet today on the top
executive pay measure. They're
hoping to reach quick agreement
on the measure, so that the Fed
eral classified and postal pay
measures can be taken up and dis
posed Of within the next week.
AS disclosed here yesterday, the
Civil Service Commission is pre-
pairing a compromise measure for
the conferees that would provide
an average increase Of a little
more than $125 for the Govern
ment's classified employees.
POWERFUL-Speaking Of pay,
the great political influence the
various postal employe groups
have on Capitol Hill was ably
demonstrated last week, when
the House approved the $180.000,-
900 postal pay measure.
On the roll call vote, even the
Houses two stanchest advocates
of economy-Republican Repre-
sentatives John Taber Of New
York and Robert ("Where's the
Money Coming From?", Rich of
Pennsylvania, voted for the bill.
incidentally. there was no roll
call vote on the Federal CLASH
fed pay measure, which was ap-
proved by a voice vote. But pay
sponsors say the House insisted
on a roll call vote on the postal
bill, because the individual men,
bers were anxious to show the
postal employees they were their
friends.
INJURY BENEFITS AS pre-
dicted yesterday, Congress has
completed action on the bill to
liberalize Government employe in
jury compensation benefits and
has sent the legislation to. the
White House. It's considered a
certainty that President Truman
will sign the bill into law, since
the administration strongly backed
the legislation from the beginning.
