Personal Patronage Omission

The Hoover group wants to give
agencies and departments ever
more job placement powers, rather
than less. In fact, the Hoover grour
wants departments and agencies tc
Ehave direct hiring powers whereve,
possible. And the Hoover grour
wants individual bureaus to handle
all personnel matters by themselves
subject, Of course, to Civil Service
Commission supervision.
One member of Congress re.
marked rather caustically the other
day: Perhaps the Hoover Com
mission failed to discover personal
patronage in Government because II
more or less realized that its pro-
posals would increase that practice
by giving agency heads more pow
ers than they now have"
Hoover group spokesmen strongly
defend their proposals, declarins
that the strict supervisory power.
they propose for the commission
would prevent any favoritism OF
patronage.
All this indicates hot fight when
the Hoover groups proposals reach
Congress. And the Civil Service
Commission can be expected to op-
pose strongly some of the Hoover
Commissions recommendations, al
though other Federal personnel Of
f1cials will throw their influence
behind many of the proposals.
CAFETERIAS The Administra-
tion's own bill to set up a new
Government corporation to operate
Federal cafeterias here was intro
duced in the Senate yesterday.
The bipartisan sponsors are
Chairman Johnston of the Senate
Civil Service Committee and Sen
ator Baldwin, Republican, of Con-
necticut, another member of the
group.
It's expected the full committee
will give approval soon to the bill
without the benefit of hearings. Ex-
tended hearings on the Govern
ments cafeteria setup here were
conducted by a subcommittee head
ed by Senator Baldwin last year.
The bill would abolish Govern
ment Services, Inc, which operates
more than so cafeterias and snack
bars in Government buildings here,
and the new Federal agency would
take over their operations.
AS for those cafeterias operated
by employees or other groups at
present, the new Government cor
poration presumably could author
ize their continuance under the
present setup, subject to Federal
supervision.
Sponsors Of the measure say their
aim is to provide the best possible
meals for Federal employees at the
lowest possible prices.

Supplies Flown To Needy Hooper Bay

ANCHORAGE, (P) - A Jato- equipped CAY plane of the 10th Rescue squadron is scheduled to leave Elmendorf Field today with 4,45O pounds of emergency food for villagers at Hooper Bay on the Boring Sea coast.
 The Alaska native service re- ceived the request from the coop erative store there, saying the 290 villagers were short on staples. The ANS. bought the food from the army and the Alaskan Air Command volunteered to fly it to the village.
 Freezing rain conditions at Hooper Bay kept the plane from making the trip yesterday after noon.
 The plane will carry 20 cases of milk, 40 bags of flour, 10 sacks of sugar, 10 cases of coffee and 50 pounds of tea. -.... ..
 The ski-equipped plane plans to land on frozen lagoon if condi- tions permit, otherwise it will make parachute drop from low altitude.
 7 The villagers did not have suf- ficient money to order enough sta ples last spring in order for it to be placed aboard ship. Now the villagers have the money, the food must be flown to them, an official explained.
 He said the villagers were not in any danger but the food was being sent to supplement the na- tive diet.

Tension Rises As Soviet Police
 ''Murder'' German
tBY Thomas "A. ReedY)

BERLIN, (P)-Soviet-controlled German police killed another Ger man while tightening their block ade within a blockade, and the in- cident heightened tension today between communists and their foes, who charged the shooting was murder"
 Sporadic fist fights were re- ported on subway and elevated trains between German passen- gers and communist-con police, who sought to search and seize theis belongings.
 A German man and a 14-year- old girl, innocent bystanders, were wounded in another sector border incident.
 Meanwhile, rumors of a new Soviet zone currency reform sent the Russian-sponsored eastern mark tumbling on German money markets, despite Russian denial that any change is impending.
 Against this background, the Western German constit u i m committee advised Gen. Lucius D. Clay, the American military gov ernor, that it has completed draft ing a basic law to serve for a democratically-governed Germany of the future.
 Clay said the target date of May 1 for establishment of the West German government "now looks. pretty good"

Pact Nations Seek U. $. Protection
(BY John M. Hightower)

WASHINGTON, CP) - Western European nations were reported still hopeful yesterday of obtain ing American agreement to s-me open promise of military support in the proposed North Atlantic Sc curity treaty.
 Diplomatic infOrmantS predict ed that when the Europeans next meet with secretary of state Ache son they will again press on this point.
 They are expected to urge on AchesOn some reference at least to the possibility of military ac- ton by all of the members of the security organization in event of an attack.
 It is understood that, provided the military" reference was SUD- ordinate to other kinds of action along diplomatic and political lines, Senator Vandenberg R.- MichO would have no personal ob- jection to the wording.
 Vandenberg's concern is report ed to be with the idea that the treaty should conform strictly to the spirit of the United Nations charter in which military action is listed as the last of many steps to be taken in stopping or prevent ing an aggression.

 'The outlook for Alaska is very dismal due to impending tax mea- sures being prepared by the Terri torial legislature, and the fishing restrictions imposed by the fish and wildlife service.
 Based on present information, trap license fees, trap fish taxes, per case taxes, boat taxes and in- come taxes will add about two dollars per case to the cost of pro- ducticn.
 "The income tax bill has al- ready passed-and the other bills are in the hopper with assurance of passage. With the cost of tin plate up, and labor and fish prices still to be reckoned with, many packers seem ready to call the whole thnng off"
