Korean and Cabinet Troubles
Give Truman Pair of Crises

ment criticism of his Secretary
of State. Then this conf1dant of
Mr.. Truman added:
"The President feels that Sec
retary of State Acheson has borne
up in this case with supreme dig
nifty and will remain in the cabi-
net after Mr.. Johnson has gone" !"
The White House aide thought
Mr.. johnson would make his de-
parture sooner than most people
expected.
At the Pentagon. there was
official silence about all this. If
Mr.. johnson had changed his
mind about statement he made
10 days ago-blunt rejection of a
demand by Representative Tauri-
clio, Democrat, of New York that
he reSign-he wasn't ready to say
so.
This is the second time in a
little over a decade that Mr..
Johnson has become entangled in
a situation which has had the at
tention of the White House. AS
an Assistant Secretary of War
in the late '30's, he fell into dis
agreement with former Secretary
of War Harry Woodring over
mobilization policies. In that in
stance. the late President Roose-
welt settled the quarrel by ap-
pointing a new Secretary and
Assistant Secretary.
To answer his critics in this
current situation. Mr.. johnson
has:
l. Denied publicly that he was
in dispute with Mr.. Acheson. He
has declared that through the Ma
tional Security Council 'the
politico- military elements of our
national policy have been fused"
meaning that the State and De-
fense Department worked together
on foreign policy.
2. Denied categorically that
the strategic policies and econ
omies of the Defense establish
ment brought about military
weakness. He told Senate Mill
tary Appropriations subcommit-
tee in July that the "over-
all combat potential" of the
Armed Forces was higher when
the Korean war started than at
any time since demobilization
after the end of World War IL
He cited statistics which he said
proved that.
| But his critics still insist on
remembering pre-Korean state
mentS attributed to him that the
United States was fully prepared
to cope with any -four o'clock in
the morning" attack by an enemy
and to beat the enemy.
AS usually happens when rumorS
of resignation are current, there
was immediate speculation about
a successor. The first rash of such
speculation brought several names,
including: Robert Lovett, former
Under Secretary of State and AS
sistant SECRETARY of War for Air
during World War II; Army
Secretary Frank Pace, former
Budget Bureau director; Senator
Millard Tydings, Maryland Demo-
lcrat and chairman of the Senate
Armed Services Committee.

Architect Group Asks
Enlarged Parks Group
In Dispersal Program

The American Institute of Ar
chitects yesterday urged Congress
to strengthen and enlarge the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission as part of any plan
to disperse some Government
agencies to nearby Virginia and
Maryland.
A bill, passed by the Senate al
most year ago. would reorganize
the commission along lines ad-
vocated by the Ala. The House
District Committee has discussed
the measure several times in re-
cent weeks and might take it up
at a session tomorrow. Chairman
Mcmillan said last week.
The architects Committee on
the National Capital, headed by
Horace w. Peaslee of Washing
ton, said President Truman's plan
for removal of about 10000 Fed
eral employees from the District
to new locations within 20 or 80
miles would require a huge plan
ming job and necessitate reorgani-
zation of the planning commits
sion.
Mr.. Peaslee commented that
failure to enact the planning re-
sion of Congress would cause
much damage to the national
capital planning" Such broad
ened commission, he said, should
include members of the highest
caliber from the States most af-
fected and from the Nation at
large. and not merely local tai
ent."
The bill pending in the House
District Committee would enable
the commission to function as a
planning authority beyond limits
of the District. 1t also would re-
quire each participating planning
agency to confer with all member
agencies in the region before 60
ing ahead with a project.
The dispersal plan has been
recommended by the President in
a request for 1898 million for
construction of several buildings
and highways and for other pur-
poses in connection with a de-
Capitalization program. The re-
quest is being studied by the SEN
ate Appropriations Committee
which this week is expected to re-
port out $16.7 billion supple
mental appropriation bill.

President Truman had twir
irises on his hands last night
sahinet controversy at home,
military predicament abroad.
At home. there loomed the de-
unite possibility that the storm
.enter of the cabinet quarrel, Sec
setary of Defense johnson might
move out. The only formal actor
necessary would be White HOUSE
acceptance of the resignation
which all cabinet members file
when they take Office.
In Korea. American and othe'
United Nations troops fought deS'
perately to hold massive and con.
sinuing tf1rusts of the Red Army
IN a war which after II weeks was
still running against the defend
ers.
Whether there was a relation
ship between the crises, as .was
charged in some quarters, and Il
so, how much, was not clear. MI
Truman seemed to be in position
to do something about one, but
not about the other.
The Communist high command
controlled the latter. They con-
tinued to pour in manpower to
press their unrelenting offensive
in Korea.
There isn't any speculation II
Washington now about when
general counter offensive can bt
launched. The immediate anc
pressing problem is to hold the
line against the terrific Red on
slaught.
All this was cheerless news fol
Mr.. Johnson's friends who thought
that military victory in Kores
now could save him, could ease
pressure for his resignation.
The most recent of the de-
mands for Mr.. Johnson's resigna-
ton from the job to which he was
appointed by Mr.. Truman il
March, 1949, came from the Ma
rine Corps League. A resolution
of the Leagues convention Friday
demanded Mr.. Johnson's custer
It linked the Korean troubles with
Mr.. johnson. saying that "as 6
result of the blundering of the
Defense Department our troops
have suffered heavy casualties ano
reverses and the military and po.
litical position of the United
States has been reduced to a dan.
gerously low level"
But a White House confidant
in predicting that Mr.. johnson
was on the way out, did not sci
this forth as the reason. He tracee
it to the quarrel. the maneuverine
for strength, between Mr.. John
son and Secretary of State Ache
son. This situation. of course, il
much older than the Korean war
Moreover, Mr.. Acheson and hi
foreign-policy making are related
only indirectly to the prosecution

How Many Generations
Make a Craftsman?

Aptitude can be acquired Real skill comes good
deal harder And the urge to achieve perfection
must be born into person.
Not until these qualities have been combined tenn
pered by time and seasoned in experience, can one
qualify as a true craftsman. It's process that
takes not just years, but literally generations.
More than seventy-five years ago. the young Brom-
well came to Washington to establish business ded
icated to making homes brighter" In his shop
he surrounded himself with little group of men
in whom the urge to achieve perfection burned
brightly. To them he impaired his aptitudes and
skills
In the intervening generations slowly and painfully,
the men of Bromwel have arrived at the dignity
and distinction of true craftsmen Today work
leaves their hands that is not touched with the
briiance Of perfection
Their craftsman's pride is deep and sincere in
the simple repair of damaged andron as in the
silver plating Of service for fifty. To the true
craftsman every job is opportunity to prove his
mette.
You may bring your work to Bromwell's shops with
confidence The men who will complete it are crafts

JobIess Benefits
Proposed for
u. ). Workers
Goodwin Recommends
Insurance Coveroge
For All Employees
BY Francis P. Douglas

Civilian employees of the Gov
ernment should be covered by un-
employment insurance, Robert c
Goodwin, director of the Bureau
of Employment Security, said
today.
Mr.. Goodwin said the protec-
tion of Federal workers under the
unemployment insurance system
should be regarded as part OF
planning for future peacetime
purposes.
His statements were made be-
fore a House Ways and Means
subcommittee which is consider
ing extension of the system.
Employment Jumps 10000
Civilian employment in the
Government executive branch
increased 10000 between JUNE
and October of this year to a
total of 2,13o,O0O. Mr.. Goodwin
said. He added that about 500,-
900 employees left the Federal
service in 1949 and in the third
quarter of this year they were
leaving at the rate of about 10000
a month.
In about third of the cases, the
employe quit voluntarily, Mr.
Goodwin said. The involuntary
separations from the service were
due to completion of the jobs, re-
ductions in force and discharges.
The largest rate of turnover was in
the classification of blue collar
workers-mechanics, helpers and
laborers whose wages are set by
local boards in accordance with
prevailing scales in private indus
try.
Workers who leave Federal en-
ployment now rely On retirement
fund Withdrawals and payments
for accrued annual leave to tide
them over until they find other
jobs, Mr.. Goodwin said. But he
pointed out that recourse to re-
tirement fund Withdrawals is not
available to newly hired workers
who are given enlergency-indef
mite appointments to the Federal
service. They do not contribute
to the Civil Service retirement
fund.

ments with the Secretary of Labor
and the States would be REIN
bursed by the Federal Govern
ment for the costs.
Speaking of the unemployment
insurance system generally, Mr.
Goodwin said the gap in protect
ing workers is shown by the fact
that last year only 81 out of
every IS lost in wages because OF
unemployment was replaced by
insurance payments. Maximum
payments now are usually $40 OF
$25 week. He recommended that
payments be at least so per cent
of the weekly wage, with a maxi
mum of $50 a week.
