SHANGHAI, Jan. 27.-Vice Ad-
miral Oscar C. Badger, American
Western Pacific commander, said
today that some Marines soon
would be withdrawn from China,
but emphasized enough would be
retained to meet any emergency.
He said at a news conference
that the present number in China
(about 5000 at Tsingtao and 900
at Shanghai were more than are
needed.
Admiral Badger said the Tsingtao

added, 1T is foolish to maintain

The admiral did not say how
much the Marine force in China
would be reduced or whether the
reduction would affect the 600 be.

FEC Says II Will Deny
Press Wireless Permit
By the Associoted Press

The Federal Communications
Commission said today it proposes
to deny authority for Press Wire
less, Inc. to handle official Gov
eminent communications on a reg
ular basis.
The company has handled such
traf1ic over its world radio tele-
graph circuits, under special tenn
porary authorizations, since 1912
The authority, extended from time
to time, is now scheduled to expire
on March l.
Press Wireless asked for perma-
nent authority to handle official
Government messages IN a formal
application filed in June. 1916.
The FEC, however, said in today S
proposed decision that Press Wire
less, as "a specialized press car
rier" should devote itself entirely
to the particular needs of the press
for low-cost and rapid handling
of press traffic, and should not per-
init itself to be placed in a position
where it may have to subordinate
press requirements and interests to
the movement and interests of other
traffic"
The opinion emphasized that Press
Wireless could continue to handle
Government communications which
fall within the definitions of pres
communications"
Proposed decisions by the FEC
are tentative. and subject to appea
within 20 davs.

Catholic Council Asks
DIP Quota Be Doubled

The National Catholic Resettle-
ment Council today urged the Gov
eminent to double the number of
displaced persons allowed entry into
the United States, and to pay their
way to any place in the Nation.
The council, established for the
purpose of resettling displaced per-
sons, also recommended that "visas
issued be made available to each
group and element of the DPS In
proportion each bears to the over
all total of displaced persons" This,
1t said, would avoid discrimination,
The statement was issued here.
Washington Diocesan headquarters
OF the council are in the Diocesan
Chancery in st. Patrich's Church.
The Rev. Thomas B. Dade is director
of the Washington branch.
The Displaced Persons Act passed
by the last Congress would permit
slightly more than 100000 DPS to
enter the United States over a period
of years. The council wants to boost
this to 10000 for four-year period
Chairman Celler of the House
Judiciary Committee already has
said he will seek amendments
doubling the total allowed entry
His measure also would liberalize
the act to avoid what some have
called discriminatory restrictions.

vFW Urges Pensions
For Veterans at IS,
World War Il Bonus
By the Assoeioted Press

| Veterans bonus and pension
requests totaling billions were
made to Congress today by the
Veterans of Foreign Wars.
The proposals were advanced at
the start Of hearings by the House
Veterans Committee on pension
legislation for all veterans of World
Wars and II.
Omar B. Ketchum, VFW legisla-
tive director, laid before the COM
mlttee pension program he said
was designed to place the veterans
OF the last two wars on the same
footing now enjoyed by SPANISH
American War veterans.
This provides a monthly pension
OF $50 at age IS, and non-service
connected disability benefits rang.
ing upwards from $40 a month &C.
cording to the degree of disability.
The VFW quoted Veterans Ad.
ministration figures estimating the
cost of the pension proposal at ST.
600 100000 the first year, with
peak of $1,000 600, 900 a year at the
end of five years.
Calls Pension Traditional.
Mr.. Ketchum told the COMMITTEES
a service pension lis tradition of
this country" But. he added, the
last pension law was enacted in 1921
for veterans of the Spanish Amer
lean War.
Thirty years have now elapsed
since the close of World War l and
the average age of Worlo War I
veterans is approximately IS years."
Mr.. Ke5chum testified.
I'VE strongly feel that the Con-
gress should write into the law this
traditional service pension"
The VFW's bonus. proposal for
World War II veterans asks s3 a day
for service in the United States up
10 $500, and 81 day for service
overseas up to $4,500.
1t would cost the Nation between
SIS ,0o0,0o00O0 and $4,000 900 900
the VFW estimates.
To Alleviate Disparity"
The bonus, Mr.. Ketchum testified,
would tend to alleviate the eco
nomic disparity as between the
young man who spent the war years
in the military or naval services. and
the young man who remained at
home as part of the civilian war
effort"
ANY bonus. Mr. Ketchum added,
would first have deductions made
from it equalling prior benefits en-
Joyed by individual veterans under
the G1 Bill of Rights. This would
include educational allowances.
Other points of the VFW program
are cost-of- living increases amount-
ing to Is per cent in existing disa-
billty and pension payments, and
revision of income eligibility limita-
tions for pension recipients.
Chairman Rankin has given top
priority to hearings on a committee
bill to pay $50 a month to all vet
Grams of World War I and II at the
age of so. The bill also provides
additional pensions ranging from $40
to $l20 month for disability not
connected with military service.
Some 100000 war veterans
would be eligible-more than $780,
600 of them within the next 10
years, according to Veterans Ad.

If war came tomorrow, American
air power would be no push-over,
reports Of the Air Force and Navy
disclosed today.
The two services reported they
now have total of 35,497 aircraft
operating or in storage, at least half
of which are combat types.
The Air Force said it now has "a
900 planes, 10000 or them active and
the balance in storage. OF this total,
10500 are combat aircraft, of which
$500 are operating at the present
time
Utility aircraft-transports, train
ers and communication ships total
1850 in the Air Force. OF these,
$500 are in active use.
Navy Has 11,497.
The Navy reported it has l1,497
aircraft at the present time, of
which 8,183 are active. OF the
active planes, 5000 are in use by
the regular fleet units and the bal
ance are used by reservists for
training.
The Navy Jumped 1914 planes
under the heading of "logistical
support" which includes those in
storage and under repairs.
The Air Force, which inventories
its aircraft strength every six
months ana has just completed its
latest survey, said its totals repre-
sent consider able decline in COM
bat-type planes ana an increase in
utility aircraft since last July l.
! These changes are principally the
result of a change in the method
/ of defining combat and utility
planes. it was explained.
$500 Super FOrtresses.
The Air Force has a total OF about
2,800 B-29 Super Fortresses. OF
these $500 are in "cocoons," pre-
served against deterioration. An
other 500 are in more readily avail
able storage status. About 400 are
in the Replacement pool" planes
made ready for use with little work
and designed to replace operating
craft lost through wear or accident.
The actual operating fleet of i'm
proved and modernized Super Fort
reSses-the backbone of the air
arms bomber fleet-is about 500.
No new Super Fortresses have
been built since shortly after VI
Day. The B-29 has been superseded
by the B-50. which has considerably
more range. speed and bomb capac-
ity. Both B-29s and B-5Os are rated
by the Air Force as medium bomb
ers. The only heavy bombers now
in operation are the six-engined
Consolidated Vultee B-36s, the first
deliveries of which were made last
summer.
Meanwhile, the Air Force is get
ting its newest fighter aircraft into
opera ton. The first North Ameri-
can F-86 jets are in the air, and
the lst Fighter Group at March Air
Force Base. Calf, which now has
Lockheed F-8O Shooting Stars, is
being equipped with the F-86s.

melting out penalties for violations
and the consideration of appeals O
employees in personnel matters.
In other words, the Hoover groul
is recommending that the individual
agencies and departments take owe
the job of handling their own per
sonnel problems and transactions
subject to policing by the commits
sion.
2. The personnel Office setups ir
the various agencies should bs
changed so that the primary re-
sponsibility for personnel transac.
tions within the agencies would rest
with the top administrators. In
this regard the Hoover group will
recommend that department and
agency heads establish closer
working relationship with their per-
sonnel directors.
This de-emphasis on the policy
making responsibilities of the va
rious personnel Offices in Govern
ment would result in Is per cent
reduction of the $4,000 employees
now engaged in personnel work
the Hoover Commission will de-
clare.
OTHER FAULTS-3. The Gov
ernment's recruiting machinery is
obsolete, too slow and cumbersome
1t has resulted in far too many
temporary and war-service employees
serving in jobs, pending the estab.
! lishment of regular civil service
lists. The Hoover group recon-
mends giving Job placement au'
thority to the individual depart
ments and agencies
! 4. The Government too often fail
TO get the right man for the job O
the right job for the man. Th'
above recommendation also woult
apply to this criticism.
5. A comprehensive pay admins
trative policy for the Government
is long overdue. The Hoover groul
recommends complete new methoe
of fixing salaries, details of which
have already been reported here.
6. Not enough time and effort ar.
spent on recruiting the best young
men and women for junior profes.
sional, scientific, technical and ad.
ministrative positions. Recommend
ed is a vigorous Government re-
cruiting program under an execu-
tive order by the President.
/
| 7. There is too much "empirt
building by supervisors, resulting
in overpadded payrolls. The report
charges that too many supervisors
feel the more people working fol-
them, the larger their salaries viii
be. recommended is q new system
whereby supervisors will be reward
ed for pruning the number of per-
sons working for them, wherever
possible.
8. Salary schedules for admins

fessional personnel are 50 low that

leave the Government for private
industry. Recommended. Substan-

HouseG. 0.P. Liberals 6. 0.P. Chiefs Oppose
WinP|ace in Councils; Compromise in Fight
Senate Battle Ahead To Bar Fi|ibusters
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

Republican leaders turned a cold
shoulder today on any compromise
in the fight they have joined to kill
the filibuster.
They stuck to their demands
despite hints from Southern Sen
ators that a filibuster-t -to-save-t the
flllbuster may tie the new Congress
In a legislative knot.
The Senate Republican Policy
Committee passed the word along
late yesterday that the Senate's S
rules must be changed to gag un-
limited debate.
The committee "reaffirmed" It's
stand, Senator Taft, Republican. of
Ohio, said, that the rules change
should be the Senate's first ma jor
business.
The move probably will touch of
filibuster by Southern Senators
opposed to any debate limit. They
see it as an opening step toward
action on civil rights legislation
which they bitterly oppose.
The Senate now can close debate
on bill by two-thirds vote. The
Rules Committee is studying pro-
posals to extend this rule to all de-
bate, including that on motions
either by a majority or two-thirds
vote.
Republican leaders, and some
Democrats, favor the two-thirds
rule.
The Southern Democrats have at
least one compromise to be offered.
Senator Stennis. Democrat, of Mis-
sissippi is working on a resolution
which would permit the Senate to
gag debate on emergency matters
affecting the physical security of
