originally by the House, employees
thus fired would have had no re-
view of their case by an impartial
agency. The Senate. however,
amended the bill to give these
employees the right to have their
cases reviewed.
This does not constitute an ap-
peal, since the commission could
not restore the employees to their
old jobs. However, if the facts
warrant it, the commission might
clear the employees for jobs in So
called "non-sensitive" Federal
agencies.
These security risk cases have
nothing to do with loyalty, but
with character defects such as
excessive drinking, gossiping, gam
kling, Indebtedness and the like.
Employe groups wanted full ap-
peal rights for dismissed workers,
but they feel the review rights
finally voted by Congress are at
least a modicum of protecting for
employees, anyway.
BONDING - The House-ap-
proved bill to exempt Federal en-
ployes from having to pay for
their own surety bonds has run
into some trouble in the Senate
Executive Expenditures Com
mittee.
The Senate group met the
other day on the bill and failed
to reach an agreement. The Sem
ators, however, did agree to take
a final vote on the measure next
week.
AS approved by the House, the
more than 100000 Federal en-
ployes whose duties sometimes en-
tail the handling Of Government
funds would no longer have to
pay for, their surety bonds. The
Government would pay for 1t.
However, some members of the
Senate committee want Federal
employees assessed a small amount
to establish a reserve fund. Then,
employees would be assessed when
ever the reserve fund dwindled
The Senators advocating this plan
say employees would have to pay
for their surety bonds only about
once in 10 or Is years and that
this wouldn't be much of a hard
ship.
JOBS-The Civil Service Com

The Air Force disclosed it is
sending an undisclosed number of
North American Mustang fighters
from the United States to the bat
tie front to step up the effective
ness of United States air blows
against North Korean commu-
nists.
Spokesman recently expressed
dissatisfaction with the perform
ance of jet fighters in the bad
weather that has hampered Unit
ed States air force operations in
Korea, thus far. The jets are de-
signed for the fast, high altitude
work. The Mustangs will have a
greater fighting range and will be
able to operate more effectively
with the low ceiling. The heavy
fuel consumption of the jets gave
them only ten or fifteen minutes
over the battle area before they
had to return to their bases in
Japan.

Southwest of Seoul North Ko-

behind the American troops on a
muddy 700 foot ridge south of Su-

communications with rear head
quarters.
However, early yesterday the
Americans were reported to be in
better shape. The communists had
run into American tank busting
equipment for the first time and
there were reports that three to
five tanks had been knocked out.
Unconfirmed reports said, how
ever, that American forces retired
from advanced positions after be-
ing overrun by 40 North Korean
tanks and 1000 caralrymen. The
report said the American evacu-
ated their positions with heavy
casualties after exhausting their
ammunition. This report was not
confirmed by headquarters.
Russian built tanks started the
attack on the American positions
and were identified as 9 ton TICS
carrying 76 millimeter or 8 inch
