D. T.. Welfare Worker
Faces Discharge Over
Conduct 10 Superiors

The Commissioners today no.
titled a Board of Public Welfare
social worker that they proposed
to discharge him from the Dis
trict service on four serious
charges involving conduct toward
his superiors.
The employe, Thomas r. Eng
lish, of 5000 Thirteenth street Sc.
was notified in letter from Geof-
fiery M. Thornett, secretary to the
Board of Commissioners. that he
has 10 days to file a written an
swer to the charges. He will be
discharged within 80 days, Mr..
Thornett said. If the Commission
ers follow the recommendation OF
Edgar Morris, chairman OF the
Board of Public Welfare.
Mr.. English is CHARGED with
being grossly disrespectful toward
superior officer on several &C.
casions during working hours;
with making contradictory state
ments to q superior officer in an
important matter of ensploye con-
duct; spreading derogatory rumors
concerning a superior officer, and
accusing a superior officer OF con-
duct which. if true would con-
stitute a criminal offense on the
part Of the superior officer.
1t is charged that Mr.. English
failed to substantiate the &C
cusations, although lawfully re-
quested to do so, and although
the alleged conduct would COM
stitute sufficient cause to dismiss
the superior officer from the
District service.
Neither MIR. English nor Welfare
Director John w. Tramburg could
be reached for comment on the
charges. The corporation coun-
sells office, which earlier deter
mined that the charges could be
brought against Mr.. English, re-
fused to elaborate on them. Re-
porters were unable to find out
who the superior officers are and
what the social worker said to
or about them.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Thornett noti-
fed Mr.. English. who is employed
in the welfare boards interstate
service, that he is placed on. man
datory annual leave until final
decision on the charges.

Britain Calls on U. 5.
To Accelerate Efforts
1oCrush Greek Rebels
BY The Assoeioted Press

LONDON. April 14.-Britain has
asked the United States to increase
its military aid to Greece to crush
the Greek Communist rebellion.
A Foreign ONCE spokesman dis
closed the British request In an
swering questions at daily news
conference. He said the American
State Department has not yet
given It's considered views" on the
question and SO the matter re-
manned open.
Nature Of Proposals Underlined.
The spokesman said he could
not define the exact nature Of the
British proposals. Presumably they
envisage the substantial expansion
OF the Greek Army and Air Force.
The British regard extra aid to
Greece as essential to curb re-
y-intensified activities of the
Communicated guerrillas.
1t was reliably learned the Brit
ish themselves are ready to back
up their request by making certain
kinds OF military material avail
able to the Athens government.
Direct British help for Greece
stopped in 1947 when the so-called
Truman doctrine for containing
Communism was launched in
troubled Greece.
British-American talks on Greece
were initiated when Foreign Sec
rotary Bevin met Secretary of
State Acheson in Washington

Bipartisan Shaping

had no voice in forming.
"Bipartisanship means to me

Truman May Agree
Ito State Rent Curbs,
High Official Says
BY the Associated Press

Current speculation that Presi-
dent Truman will ask Congress to
continue rent controls bumped
today into a report he might be
willing to turn the job over to the
States.
The latter possibility was raised
by an official familiar with admin
istration housing proposals slated
for early consideration by Con-
greSS.
That President Truman will ask
the lawmakers for some form of
continued rent control appeared
certain. Plans to turn rent CELL
ings over to States, however,
would mark a major shift in ad-
ministration housing policy. -
A high-ranking authority. who
asked not to be identified by name,
said such a policy change would
be designed to lessen possible con-
gressional opposition to other
points in President Truman S
overall housing program.
tits highly likely that admin
istration strategists will be will
ing to accept an end to Federal
rent ceilings and turn the matter
over to States" the official told
a reporter.
He said such move might gain
support for expanded Govern
ment aid in the construction of
dwellings for families in the low
and middle income groups.
THE President might ask for
continued Nationwide ceilings, "
said this official, but the States
rights idea would not be too OBJ
jectionable to the administration
If the Federal Government re-
tanned some authority to impose
ceilings if severe rent gouging
would occur under such a system
