New School SOUGHT
For State Policemen
By the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Oct. 18.-Col.
Carey Jarman, superintendent of
Maryland State Police, has pro-
posed the building of training
school at Pikesville and new bar
racks at Waldorf, Easton and
Cumberland.
A $1,225.125 program for long
range capital improvements was
laid before the State Planning
Commission yesterday. Col. Jar
man asked that the four projects
be given first priority.
He said he considers the train
ing school the most important
item. 1t would be part of the new
State Police headquarters layout
at Pikesville.
At present, Maryland troopers
are trained in the National Guard
Armory at Pikesville, and Col.
Jarman said the National Guard
wants to get back exclusive use of
the building.
The force is now in the process
of expanding from $50 to 300 men
and the superintendent said it
ultimately will need $50.
Col Jarman described the bar
racks at Waldorf, Easton and
Cumberland as very old and in
adequate. Houses must be rented
at Waldorf and Cumberland to
provide sleeping quarters for the
troopers, he reported.

Taft Says He's Target
OF Plot 10 Establish
Socialist Regime
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio declared today he is the tar
get of a move to install in Wash
ington "a Labor Socialist govern
ment on the British principle"
Senator Taft said that the
Democratic Party is almost COM
pletely inactive" in Ohio, and that
the campaign against his re-elec-
ton is being waged almost entirely
by the CIO-Political Action Com
mittee.
Ohio is being flooded with liter
allure and propaganda prepared
months ahead in Washington, at
tempting to persuade the people of
Ohio that they must eliminate
some Congressman who have
served their interests for years,
and replace them with stooges
who will take orders of the labor
union Bosses" Senator Taft said.
Senator Taft set forth his views
on the Ohio race, in which he is
opposed by State Auditor Joseph
T. Ferguson, in his weekly column
for Ohio voters.
Describing the CIO-PAC as an
organization conceived in COM
munism (that) had Communistic
midwives assisting at its birth"
the COP policy leader in the
Senate continued:
Il do not know whether or not
the PAC is being guided by the
Communists today. Future con-
gressional Investigations will no
doubt determine that question"
Senator Taft said the PAC and
its affiliates estimate they ARE
within five Senators and IS Repre-
sentatives of controlling Con-
gress."
The voters have a right to
know the record of the Political
Action Committee which is trying
to take over the Democratic Party
and the Congress of the United
States" he said. If they obtain
such a Congress, we will have a
Labor Socialist Government on
the British principle and very little
left of American principles of
liberty"

10 per cent OF the Hoover Com
missions proposals for revising
the Governments civil service sys-
tenn have been adopted by Con-
gress and the President.
The citizens committee declared
today the Hoover Commission
proposals would aid the Govern
ment and the Federal employees
alike.
THE Hoover Commission spelled
out plan which would encourage
and reward the many thousands
of sincere civil servants who want
to do job, not hold one" the
citizens group asserted.
It added that civil service re-
forms fall in the category of war
Importance
This was never more impor-
tant." the committee declared.
THE forces of freedom are pitting
their strength against a power
full opponent. In manpower-in
sheer numbers of people-the
Russians definitely have the edge.
In the coming struggle for survival,
every pair of American hands,
every mind and every heart must
be used to the utmost"
Briefly. the essence of the
Hoover Commissions proposal for
Federal personnel reforms is to
dencentralize most personnel
transactions to the individual de-
partments and agencies. 1t also
would make administrative
changes designed to speed the
firings of incompetents, as well
as to reward deserving employees
through promotions.
VA-The citizens committee
also took a sharp slap at the
Veterans Administration, calling
it perhaps the least efficient and
most wasteful of large Govern
ment agencies"
Calling for immediate reorgani-
zation of the agency. the citizens
unit said that otherwise VA will
''stagger still more under it's pres
ent antiquated, disjointed and in
efficient setup."
| LEAVE PAYMENTS-As dis
closed in yesterdays Star, the
Controller General has ruled that
Federal employees leaving the Gov
eminent are entitled to lump
sum cash payment for all their
unused annual leave.
Some agencies had refused pay
ment because of Congress- action
recently in requiring Federal en-
ployes to use up their 26 days
annual leave this year by next
June 30. These agencies felt this
prohibited them from paying en-
ployes for unused annual leave
coming to them this year.
! However, Controller General
Lindsay Warren said this restric-
ton won't go into effect until July
|, 1851. In other words, employees
leaving the Government from now
until next July l will be entitled
to cash payments for the unused
annual leave coming to them this
year. OF course. employees will
continue to be paid for unused
annual leave from former years,
even if they leave the Government
after next July /.

'0'Conor 10 Question
Officials on Sendinq
OF Supplies 10 China
By Cecil Holland

Senator O'Conor, Democrat. Of
Maryland said today State and
Commerce Department officials
had been called for questioning to-
morrow on what has been done to
stop the flow of strategic mate
rails to Communist China since
the Korean war began.
Senator O'Conor, chairman of a
Senate Commerce subcommittee,
made the announcement as
quick aftermath of testimony that
steel plates and other equipment
had been delivered to Red China
ports by an American ship.
The subcommittee has been in
vestigating a charge by a seaman
that the Flying Cloud, ship Of
the Isbrandtsen Lines, had been
blockade running" to Red China
from Japan. The charge was
made by Calvin F. Bonawitz Of
Reading, Pa. formerly an electri-
clan on the ship, in a letter writ
ten last August and read on the
Senate floor by Senator Magnuson,
Democrat, of Washington.
"Reprehensible," O'Conor Says.
Senator O'Conor said the in
quiry would be broadened to cover
all shipments of strategic mate
rails to Red China with a view
toward ascertaining what the
Government has done to stop
them and what steps are needed
to plug any existing loopholes.
Any shipments of materials Of
potential war use to Communist
China since the Korean fighting
began in June, Senator O'Conor
added, should be regarded as
"reprehensible."
In testimony before the subcom-
mittee yesterday, Mr.. Bonawitz
said steel plates, radio tubes, steel
wire and other equipment were
carried by the Flying Cloud to two
ports in Northern China last Au-
gust. The witness said he was
mistaken when he wrote that gas
oline and armor plate also had
been transported to the ports near
Northern Korea.
He also testified that thousands
of drums of oil were taken on
board the Flying Cloud at Kobe.
Japan, but were unloaded at
Yokohama after he had notified
Army intelligence officers.
| Captain Denies Blockade.
Capt. F. w. Rylander, master Of
the Flying Cloud, denied there
had been any blockade running"
and said the cargo his ship de-
livered to the North China ports
had been cleared by Army and
customs officials. He said there
was not even "a token blockade"
of the Northern ports by the
Chinese Nationalist.
| He said the oil, intended for the
Chinese Communist ports, had
been taken off at Yokohama after
the company's agent informed
him some questions had arisen
about it, He added that Army
authorities in Japan had not
brought the matter to his atten-
ton.
Senator O'Conor asked the cap
tain if he knew that the Govern
ment had requested that petro-
leum not be shipped to Communist
China. Capt. Rylander replied that
such matters were handled by
the lines agent.
The Senator told reporters later
that the State Department had
requested American oil companies
early in July not to ship oil to
Communist China. A similar re-
quest. he added, had been made
by the British government to
British oil companies on July 10.
