Gen. Eisenhower Asks
Strong Unification Act
BY the AsSoeioted Press

NEW YORK. Mar. Gen.
Eisenhower has called for a re-
vision of the Armed Forces Unfit
cation Act to give the Secretary of
Defense more authority over the
three services-the Army, Navy
and Air Force.
He said last night that plans
for an effective unified armed
forces law have been opposed by
IAN intrenched bureaucracy who
felt that if a civilian watched over
their activities they would lose
those vested rights that were so
precious to them.
Gen. Eisenhower is on leave as
president of Columbia University
to head talks of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff
Speaking before the New York
City Bar Association, he said the
present unification law was
couched in "wishy- -washy" terms.
While 1t does not make uniflcation
impossible, he said, 1t certainly
makes it difficult"
Gen. Eisenhower said he thinks
q $4,000, 100000 military budget
is not excessive under present
world conditions. But he criti-
cized what he termed a tendency
to view the international situation
with doubt, fear and even hys-
terra"

New Post for Murphy
Hints Shift OF Control
Over German Affairs
R. the Associoisd Press

Ambassador Robert D. Murphy,
diplomatic adviser on Germany.
Is due home from Berlin in few
days to organize shake-up in the
State Departments handling Of
German affairs. 1t may have far
reaching effects on occupation
policy.
At the same time, George F
Kennan. the State Department
long range policy planner. is gong
to Germany. Mr.. Kennan will
undertake review of the situa-
ton there. His assignment will
be at least as important as the
Murphy appointment in its I'M
pact on the Governments Geramn
policy.
The exact position of Gen. Lu-
cius D. Clay. American command
er in Germany, as a result of these
and other recent moves is not yet
entirely clear. He has asked for
retirement and presumably con-
siders himself on the way out.
Power Changing Hands.
Some of the best-informed OBJ
servers here believe the balance
of power over American policy on
German affairs is passing from
Gen. Clay's hands into the hands
of Secretary of State AcheSon and
UnderSecretary James Webb.
The Shakeup. insofar as it in
wolves departmental machinery
and personalities. was announced
last night by the STATE Depart
ment. 1t is another of Mr.. Ache
sons moves to reorganiZe the
American foreign affairs agency
to try to make it a more efficient
policy instrument. The depart
ment announced: ~
l. The Office of Assistant Secre-1
tary for Occupied Areas has been
wiped out. This has been held by
Charles E. SaltZman. who remains
as assistant secretary on special
assignment.
2. A new Office of German and
Austrian affairs has been created
and Mr.. Murphy. political advisor
to Gen. Clay, has been called
home to run it. In this capacity
the 54-year- old Murphy might
become qualified either to move
on to some higher post in the
State Department or possibly to
return TO Germany some day as a
civilian governor.
Kennan to Visit Germany.
MI. SaltZman'S responsibility
for running Japanese occupation
policy has been transferred to the
Office of Far Eastern Affairs. a
regular agency Of the State De-
partment.
3. Mr.. Kennan will depart early
next week on a short visit to Ger
many in order to familiariZe him
self with the situation there
4. Mr.. .Murphy's work as polit-
ical adviser to Gen. Clay will be
taken over by the deputy political
advisor, James w. Riddleberger, a
career diplomat and longtime ex-
pert on German affairs.
For the time being at least. the
State Department is not taking
over direct operation of the Amer
lean zone of Germany. Some top
officials hope it never will. In
stead. Mr.. Acheson and Mr.. Webb
want to see whether closer CO.
operation with the Army Depart
ment-which has direct RESPONSE
blllty for running the military
occupation-will solve many prob
lens that previously complicated
the operation.
Creation Of the new Office of
German and Austrian affairs is in
general line with recommenda-
tions made last month py the
Hoover Commission to centraliZe
responsibilities for the occupation
under the State Department while
leaving actual administration to
the Army

tual collective BARGAINING rights.
Matters of policy such as promo
tions, demotions, dismissals, leave,
efficiency ratings and other activi-
ties would have to be worked out
with Government worker unions.
Government officials who refused
to deal with the unions or dis
couraged unionism in their agency
would be fired.
A House Civil Service Subcom-
mittee had approved the bill
earlier this season without hold
ing hearings. But when the far
reaching implications of the bills
provisions were brought to light.
the Civil Service Commission and
the Budget Bureau. which previ-
ously had given the measure their
okay. asked the full committee to
defer action until hearings could
be held.
Those opposing the bill assert
that it would be unWorkable,
cause administration confusion" "
and put the squeeze on union
Federal employees to join a Gov
ernment workers union. They
contend that no compulsory sys-
tenn is needed. declaring that
most Federal departments and
agencies now enjoy amicable re-
lations with reputable Govern
ment employe unions and engage
in dealings with them on a
voluntary basis.
AWARD-The Junior Chamber
of Commerce is making prepara-
tions for it's second annual award

ployes.

tions make it mandatory for
agencies and departments to re-
hire displaced career employees in
