The difficulties experienced by
a raiding party at the United Ma

by 1t. Blick. He told of an Incl
dent 16 or 18 months ago when his
raiders were unable to get through
the thick doors of the club, which
he said were equipped with peep
holes. The lights went out, he
said, and every one tried to get
out through the back door. That's
when police made arrests for dis
orderly conduct.

Thomas Nickles, who said he is

subcommittee he was glad 1t.
Blick was there to hear his side
of the story.
When the vice squad members
came to the door, he said, the act

because he didn't recognize them
as belonging to the club.
Then Blick surrounded the
whole building" Mr.. Nickles went

The principal effect of the

the State Department said, the

County Farmer Tests
Weed Killer

A chemical weed killer has been
applied TO two acres Of pasture on
the Charles Ewing farm. two miles
south Of Smyrna. in an experiment
TO control wild onion. According to
County Agent William Z. Tarbell,
the ester form of 2, 4-D was put on
at the rate Of 1-1I3 quarts per acre.
Ewing's pasture consists of blue
grass. orchard grass and some ma
tive clover. There is a heavy infest-
alton Of wild onion. Tarbell points
out that 2. 4-D is not recommend
ed for pastures with red clover, al
sike clover. and ladinO clover, since
those legumes may be injured by
the chemical.
Milford chronicle., 1950-06-09

The weed control test was Rp-
piled by PrOfs. Claude r Phillips
and William Mitchell OF the Uni
versity of Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station. They don't eN-
pect to see any actual results for
at least three weeks. 10 takes that
long for the spray to show its et-
fects on Wild onions.
Tarbell warns that in all spray
ing with ,, 4-D farmers should be
careful TO use different spray equip
ment than that used for insect and
disease control. Left over portions
of ?, AID in spray tanks can cause
serious damage TO many crops.

Veteran Communist
Leads Korean Army,
U. 5. Officers Report
BY the As.ociaied Press

TOXIC. Aug. 3,.-A veteran
North Korean Communist was
identified by one of Gen. Mac
Arthur's intelligence officers today
as the field commander Of the
Red army in Korea.
He is Marshal Choi Yung Kun.
The 47-year-old marshal holds his
field position under Premier Kim
II Sung, commander-in chief of
the Red forces.
The spokesman said some COM
manders under Kim have had
more actual military experience.
Among them he named 1t. Gen.
Kim Mu Chong, commander Of
the Second Corps, who once COM
manded the Chinese Communist
Eighth Route Army.
Choi's political education began
in the early 1920s when he was
q high school student In Pyong-
yang, now the Communist capital.
He led student strikes and riots
against japanese rule.
He fled to China in 1925, at
tended Nanking Military Academy
and probably served for a time
with the Chinese Nationalists. In
1881 he appeared as political in
structor in the Chinese Commun-
ist plilitary school at Yenan. Be-
tween 1941 and 1945 he served
with the Korean volunteer army
under the Chiese Communists.
fighting japanese in Manchuria.
He returned to Korea with the
Russians at the end of World War
II and became head of the de
partment of Public Safety" He
was given his present job in 1947.
Choi has not been pictured as
a military hero, in contrast with
his commander in chief who
fought with the Russians at
Stalingrad and was a major in
the Soviet Army.

giant" Negro as she walked along
a wooded North Harrington path

search for the suspect. The resi-
dent reported seeing a colored
man answering the description of
the attacker in the woods nearby.
1t. Walter Bell, police public
relations officer. said she had not

gency room, because of doctors
orders, but police hope she will
be able to talk with them today

attacker, who was nude, is "ade-
quate but not as good as it might
be-" 1t. Bell said.

They are Miss Margaret Ger
mond Of the society staff, who has
been with The Star for 80 years.
and Malcolm D. Lamborne, sr., of
the advertising staff. who has
served 80 years.
Miss Germond, who was born
in Alexandria. Va, so years ago.
came to work on The Star on
July 8, 1911. She started as an
editorial assistant under Theodore
w. Noyes. late editor Of The Star,
for whom she worked for many

nent status to about $4,000 Gov
ernment workers who have two
or more years of Federal service.
But the AFGE chief declared
the order did not go far enough.
There are thousands Of other
war-service and temporary-in -indefi-
mite employees who have lost their
jobs within recent months, and
they are out in the cold" Mr.. Her
declared. These employees lost
their jobs through no fault of
their own. but because of budget
cuts. In many cases, these have
five. six and more years of service
and have passed regular civil
service permanent status exams.
They were dismissed in these
reductions in force programs,
however, before they could secure
status. That's why it's only a
matter Of simple justice that they
now be given permanent status
and assigned to Federal jobs"
The convention Immediately
gave its official approval to Mr..
Hers request for the new blanket
ing-in order.
LANDSLIDE-Mr. Hers election
as AFGE president for the next
two years was of landslide pro-
portions He received 32,347 of
the 1923 votes cast for the four
candidates in the field. Cecil
Custer. Civil Service Commission
budget officer. received 7,174
votes; Clare Hopper of Detroit,
1929, and John Murray of Bos-
ton. 2,573. The 32,347 votes cast
for Mr.. Her represented II per
cent Of the total vote.
Mr.. ner, who had served as
interim president of the AFGE
since the death of James Yaden
last month, will resign his Federal
job as chairman of the United
States Employees Compensation
Appeals Board.
Despite the bitter campaign
waged for the AFGE presidency,
the outcome was never in doubt
from the first day Of the conven-
tion.
Bernice B. Heffner was unani-
mously. reelected as AFGE Sec
y-treasurer.
The convention unanimously
Evening star., 1950-08-31

approved a resolution calling on
the Defense Department to lend
Immediately" the practice OF plac-
ing military personnel in regular
civil service civilian jobs.
With the military program
swinging into full force, the dele
gates feel this resolution is
especially important at this time.
HATCH ACT-The convention
also adopted stand favoring the
revision Of the Hatch Act to per-
NIT Federal employees to engage
freely in political activities in local
elections.
In doing this, the convention
modified the stand taken by the
unions executive council six
months ago. At that time, the
council voted to ask the outright
repeal of the Hatch Act, which
bars political activities by Federal
employees.
The convention. however,
thought this was too drastic and
that Government workers be better
off under the Hatch Act, since
it removes them from the sphere
Of political patronage and, there
fore, safeguards their jobs from
any changes in national political
administrations.
The delegates. though, voted in
favor Of amending the Hatch Act
to permit Federal employees activi-
ties in local elections, feeling this
would not jeopardize the merit
system and at the same time would
give Government workers a voice
in running the affairs Of their
particular communities.
X 4 ~
OTHER HIGHLIGHTS-As the
convention prepared to draw to
a close tonight, the delegates
generally agreed the AFGE has
mapped a challenging legislative
program for Government employees
for next year.
The convention has mapped out
new legislative program calling
for a fiat Federal pay increase
severance pay for dismissed en-
ployes, time -and-a-half overtime
for any time worked over the reg
ular eight-hour day. tax exemp-
ton of Federal employe annuities
and retirement after 80 years OF
service, regardless of age.
PROMOTIONS-The conven-
ton yesterday was urged to sup
port a Federal promotion policy
that will recognize merit rather
than seniority in advancing en-
ployes.
William j. Kennedy, chairman
Of the Railroad Retirement Board
told the delegates some employe
groups support for promotions
not the ablest workers, but mere
ly those with the most seniority. ~
Mr.. Kennedy commented wryly:
Now I have never believed that
20 years experience as barten-
der necessarily qualities a man to
head the National Distillers' In
stitute."

WITH UNITED STATES 25th
DIVISION. Korea, Aug. 3l.-
Some one in American headquar-
tiers decided it would be clever to
put a loud-speaker in front OF
the North Korean lines and urge
the Reds to surrender.
Somebody in North Korean
headquarters thought it would be
clever to place a ioudspeaker be-
fore American lines and tell the
Americans to go home.
Both loudspeakers opened up
simultaneously last night. about
a mile apart.
The score: 90. Nobody sur
rendered. Nobody went home.
