Senate group will do about the
Houses personnel economy
amendments which would wipe
out more than 100000 Govern
ment jobs. AS disclosed here pre-
viously. the Senate group is ex-
pected to modify the Houses
measure considerably, toning down
the Taber-Thomas amendment
and probably rejecting the Jensen
proviso. Some key members of the
Senate Appropriations Committee
predict their bill would call for a
reduction of 100000 Federal jobs,
instead of the 100000 reduction
called for in the House measure.
QUOTE OF THE WEEK-Mean-
while, the quote of the week comes
from Lawrence Wainwright, the
president of the Washington de-
partment of the AFL American
Federation of Government En-
ployes. Writing in the organiza-
tion's official publication, The
District Sentinel, Mr.. Wainwright
asks:
why is it that every year Gov
ernment employees have to go
through hell, turmoil and uncer-
tainty? Could any business make
money by keeping its employees in
turmoil for eight months out of
II, uncertain for themselves and
their families, never knowing how
long they will have jobs after
working on those jobs for 10, Is
or 20 years?
IF the efficiency and morale of
Government employees is at a low
ebb, Congress can take much of
the. credit. If the Government
doesn't get as much work out Of
its employees as it should, give
Congress credit for that, too. Every
paper you read today has an
article about cutting of Govern
ment employees.
Gould you go to work and do a
good days labor. not knowing
whether you were going to be there
80 days or not, even though you
had spent 20 years trying to make
yourself secure and that you and
your family could live and enjoy
life and have a feeling of Sc
curity?"
Assailing the "blundering mess
that is made out of the Battle of
the Budget" Mr.. Wainwright de-
clared:
Il think it is time Congress
stopped making pawns of human
lives. There are plenty of ways
for economizing in the Govern
ment-I mean real. sound, eff
cient economy, the kind that
would save taxpayers money. but
not the kind that forces Govern
ment heads to face the impossible
task of getting agencies in shape
each year to operate on an un-
known budget. Could General
Motors, Ford, or any other busi-
ness. operate under an unknown
budget. The answer would be
bankruptcy"
EFFICIENCY RATINGS - It
probably will be at least three
weeks before the Senate Civil
Service Committee acts on the
House se-approved measure to revise
the Governments efficiency rat
ing system.
The House approved the meas.
ure yesterday afternoon. The bill
would set up a performance rat
ing for Federal employees. They
would be marked annually as
satisfactory" unsatisfactory" or
excellent" Also, supervisors
would be required to confer peri
odically with employees regarding
work duties and responsibilities
Evening star., 1950-06-20

Even so. this
would speed up
the committees S
schedule on the
bill by nearly
three W e e ks.
The committee
had not been
expected to re-
port the bill
until the mid
die of July.

Gambling Syndicate
Quit Business, Cohen
Tells Crime Probers
BY the Assoeioied Press

An attorney for the multi-mil-
lion dollar S. and G. gambling
syndicate told investigating Sen
ators today the group quit busi-
ness "two or two and half
weeks ago."
At the same time Ben Cohen,
lawyer for the syndicate, heatedly
denied reports by Miami news
papers and officials of the Greater
Miami Crime Commission, that
the Split-up would be followed by
individual operations later in the
lush resort area.
There is no truth to the report
that the boys had decided to
operate by themselves" Mr.. Cohen
told the special Senate group in
vestigating organized crime.
Books Unavailable.
The inquiry into Florida gam
bling resumed today without bene-
f1t of the financial books of the
S. and G. syndicate.
Chairman Kefauver told a re-
porter the inquiry may be ham,
pered by the action of a Florida
State Grand Jury in seiZing from

Kept by the S. g. G. syndicate.
Study Incomplete.
"Of course the grand jury had
a perfect right to take the books
for its inquiry but it may make it
more difficult for us to get at all
of the facts of the case" Senator
Kefauver said.
He added that committee coun-
sci had made a preliminary in
vestigation of the financial rec
ords but didn't have a chance to
complete it's job. Previously the
committee was told the syndicate
controlled 200 bookies in Miami
and did a 1948 business that
crossed $26 million.
The committee has called Samuel
Cohen, Jules Levitt, Leo Levitt,
Harold Salvey and Edward Rosen-
baum, described by Senator Ke-
fauver as members of the S. & G.
syndicate" to testify today.
Also summoned as witness was
William H. Johnston of Chicago,
whom Senator Kefauver said had
been identified by previous wit

Moderation Is Urged.
But the President, emphasizing
the need for moderation, said that
a House-approved bill which would
let the Attorney General keep such
aliens in custody indefinitely is

He said the National Security
Council will come up with other

The President told Congress
that the country must act to pro-
tect itself against Communist sub

be eternally vigilant against those
who would undermine freedom in

up"
Mr.. Truman sent Mr.. Hartman
on the hurried mission to Tokyo
last week after Gen. Macarthur
had conferred with Chang Kai-
shek on FormoSa, the Chinese
Nationalist island stronghold.
Delicate Political Matter.
The Macarthur Chang con-
ference raised some delicate po-
litical implications. President
Truman has ordered the United
States Seventh Fleet to prevent
any Chinese Communist invasion
of Formosa, and has called on
the Chinese Nationalists not to
take any offensive action from
the island.
The aim of the Truman policy
is to keep the hostilities in Korea
from spreading to FormoSa. 1t
involves extremely delicate po-
litical as well as military questions
because any appearance OF all
out backing of Chang Kai-Shek
now might stir resentment in
other parts of Asia and provoke
the very troubles officials here are
striving to prevent.
The military picture regarding
defense Of Formosa has been
drawn in careful detail by Gen
Macarthur in a report received
here a week after his controver-
sial visit to the island. Mr.. Harri-
man is expected to fill in the po-
litical side.
Many Officials Surprised.
Highly placed officials said that
Gen. Macarthur originated the
idea of his trip to Chang Kai-
shek's island headquarters. They
said also that the general did not
leave Tokyo until after he had
received a go-ahead from Wash
ington.
The Macarthur trip to Formosa
took many Government leaders by
surprise. Informed officials have
since given assurances, however.
that the trip did not surprise a
handful of top-level men in the
Defense and State Departments.
These informants said the State
Department raised objections to
the trip at first. After discussing
the problem from all angles. they
continued. the State Department
went along with the military argu-
ment that a senior commander
should have the chance to make
the personal reconnaissance of an
area for which he had been given
heavy military responsibilities.
