Mcmahon Says Public Wants
Atom Control or No Soviet Pact

and if we can't get them we had
better have none at all"
Tass, the Russian news agency,
recently quoted a Christian Sci
ence Monitor article saying that
Americans are sending thousands
Of letters to Washington calling
for an end to the arms race.
A favorable response to recent
appeals of Senator Tydings,
Democrat. of Maryland. for a
world disarmament conference
was reported by members of his
Office staff.
They said he had received let
ters from throughout the Nation
and from abroad and added that
almost all of them indorsed his
proposal. They gave no estimate
of the number of letters but
called the mail response quite
heavy.
Representative Elston, Republi-
can, of Ohio, who like Senators
Mcmahon and Tydings is a men,
ber of the Joint Congressional
Atomic Committee, said he has
been receiving an increasing
number of letters from people
expressing fear that the III
Bomb" might destroy civilization.
Another member of the Atomic
Committee, Representative Dur
ham, Democrat, of North Caro-
lima, said letters from his constit-
uents show concern about the
Nations defenses. Mr.. Durham
said none of the letters indicated
support for a conference with

ADA Criticizes Connuughton
For 'SIurs' on Senator Nicely

The Washington chapter Of the
Americans for Democratic Action
yesterday criticized a District civic
leader for 'slurs" against Senator
Neely, Democrat, of West Virginia.
The ADA statement took to task
John H. Connaughton, from presi-
dent of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, for saying Senator
Neely was sticking his nose in
other peoples business"
Mr.. Connaughton's comment
came after Senator Nicely, chair
man of the Senate District Com
mittee, indorsed the proposal to
transfer Central High School to
colored students. Mr.. Connaugh-
ton later said the fact that Sem
ator Nicely was to be guest speak
er at the federation annual dinner
March was disrupting plans for
the affair.

civic leaders, disclosed the situa-
ton at their headquarters here
yesterday
James Watson, the leagues ex-
ecutive director. declared that his
group, along with the Hoover citi-
zens unit. were both agreed on the
immediate necessity" for mod
ernizing the Civil Service system.
But Mr.. Watson asserted that
the Hoover citizens group was
approaching the thing "the wrong
way"
THE citizens committee is
making reckless and unwarranted
charges against Federal employees
as a class" Mr.. Watson asserted.
THE shortcomings in Govern
ment are exaggerated by the ,citi-
zens' group to a point where it
does more harm than good"
Aims Are Stressed.
Mr.. Watson added that his
group was no "apologist" for Fed
eral employees, declaring that, the
leagues primary interest was
seeing to it that the country's 5
taxpayers receive more for their
dollars in terms of more efficient
government"
1--WE are very much concerned
over improving the Civil Service
Setup," Mr.. Watson said. "1t
needs it badly. But at the same
time it is unfair to blame Federal
employees for administrative and
structural faults in the Civil Serv-
ice system. AS a matter of fact,
Federal employees are far ahead
of all other public workers in
ability-State. county or local"
The league and the Hoover
group also differ on the way the
civil service reforms should be
effected. The Hoover unit has con-
centrated on trying to get Con-
gress to enact legislation to bring
the reforms about, Mr.. Watson
observed. He added that the league
feels that most of the reforms can
be achieved by presidential execu-
tive orders without need of very
much legislation.
Disappointment Expressed.
In this regard, Mr.. Watson said
that the league is very much dis
appointed over the failure of the
administration to go ahead and
moderniZe civil service.

Senator Nicely then Withdrew
as guest speaker and announced
he would not attend the dinner.
The ADA statement said:
1--WE feel that the chairman OF
the Senate District Committee
has a duty to speak out, as Sena-
tor Neely has done, on an issue
of Importance to the District and
that in so doing he is in no sense
sticking his nose in other
peoples business as Mr.. Con-
naughton described it.
"We regret that so long as the
District does not have home rule,
it is necessary for Senators to
occupy themselves in any respect
with District affairs. So long as
they are required to, we commend

Senator Mcmahon, Democrat,
of Connecticut, said yesterday his
mail shows the American people
want effective international con-
troll of atomic energy or mo
agreement at all' with Russia.
Senator Mcmahon recently pro-
posed in a Senate speech that the
United States begin a $50 billion
peace offensive" of economic aid
to other nations if agreements
could be reached to control atomic
energy.
This speech brought in a flood
of more than 5000 letters, Sen
ator Mcmahon said.
THE tenor of these letters
shows an awareneSs of the prob
lem and thorough-going support
of efforts to bring the arms race
to an end in an effective manner,
the Connecticut Senator said.

the Civil Service Commission, tht
civil service system hasn't changed
much" Mr. Watson declared.
More than six months ago, Mr.
Watson and other league officials
visited the White House and de-
clared that President Truman has
assured them of his interest anc
desire to improve the Govern
ment's personnel operations.
While Mr.. Watson refraineo
from any actual criticism of any
body for the delay, he said that
he hoped to pay return visit te
the White House soon to urge
speedier action. In this regard. the
league also is anxious to have the
President appoint new chairman
of the Civil Service Commission
The present chairman. Harry B
Mitchell, submitted his resignation
Is months ago but is staying or
at the request of President Tru-
man.
Mitchell Is Praised.
While the league feels that Mr.
Mitchell has done a good job ir
past years, they feel that no ef-
fective streamlining of the Gov
ernment's Civil Service system car
take place until new man is ap-
pointed. Mr.. Watson adds that il
is imperative" that the new mar
be "some one of the highest cal.
ibre."
League officials also disclosed
that they are considering plans te
open a branch Office in Washing
ton.
They pointed out that the league
is now concentrating much more
on Federal Civil Service matters
than it has in the past. The i'm.
portance of undermining the Fed
eral Governments Civil Service
system has caused the league tt
put less emphasis on its work ir
the State and municipal fields al.
though it still continues those

Aircraft Experts Urge
Caution in Use Of Jets
In Transport Planes
SENATOR TYDINGS.
by the Associoted Press

EAST HARTFORD. Conn, Feb
Is Aircraft powerplant experts
today held out "go slow" sign
for jet transports despite the spur
of British propaganda"
The caution signal came from
Wright A. Parkins, engineering
manager of the Pratt & Whitney
Aircraft Corp, worlds largest
source of aviation engines.
He addressed military guests and
writer's gathered for the first
showing of the Nations most
powerful turbo-iet engine in use,
the J-48 Turbo- Wasp with a thrust
potential beyond 5000 pounds.
Mr.. Parkins' note of caution was
concerned with the need for fur
ther experience with jet engines
to determine their safety limits.
Airlines Appear to Be Cautious.
II haven't talked with a single
airline operator who feels that We
can have less safety than now -
Mr.. Parkins said. "They feel we
must pick up where we are now on
safety and go ahead when we
change to a new type power
plant.
Lets move into this carefully,
British propaganda to the con-
trary Notwithstanding"
Mr.. Parkins referred to the fact
that the British have a four-en-
gine jet transport flying, with
orders for production types from
at least two countries. Airplane
builders in this country have not
yet started to build jet trans
port. Cost has been a major fac
tor.
The J-48 Turbo- Wasp is almost
Identical in size with the J-42, but
delivers IS per cent more power.
1t delivers $3.50 pounds of thrust.
That equals $3.50 horsepower when
installed in an airplane going 375
miles an hour, or about 1000
horsepower when the plane is go
ing $40 miles an hour-the fastest
officially timed speed.
The J-48 Turbo-Wasp is now
flying in the first of several new
fighter types, including the Grum-
man F9F-5 Panther and the North
F-93A.
Another phase of the show was
the first civilian inspection of the
$12 million Andrew Willgoos tur-
bine laboratory built to test jet
engines and sections of engines
several times as powerful rs those
now in use.
The laboratory was described as
the largest privately owned jet re-
search facility in the world.

Republican Senators
1Hit ECA Drive 10 Sell
European Products
By the Associoied Press

Republican Senators from in
dustrial States expressed increas-
ing concern yesterday over the
Economic Cooperation Admins
tration's plan to encourage sale OF
European-made goods on the
American market.
The ECA. driving to close
Europe's dollar gap. is trying to
find a 81 billion year outlet in
the United States for wide
variety of foreign made goods.
Taft Fears Program.
Senator Taft of Ohio, chair
man of the Republican Policy
Committee, told a reporter this
program could be pretty
dangerous thing and throw a lot
of people out of work"
Senator Millikin, Republican, of
Colorado, said industries in Colo
RADIO already were being hurt by
foreign imports of zinc, copper,
lead and petroleum.
Senator Martin, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, told reporters he is
terribly, terribly disturbed" about
the impact of European imports
on American industry.
He said he has a list of % in
dustrial and agricultural items
that are being seriously affected
by imports.
The stepped-up trade program
is not without support in the
Senate. Chairman George of the
Finance Committee says more
competition with Europe would be
a good thing if handled properly.
Senator H. Alexander Smith, Re-
publican, of N. j., supports the
idea of greater trade with Europe,
with advance planning to meet
the difficulties it may produce.
Bricker Attacks EPA.
Senator Bricker, Republican, Of
Ohio, said the European recovery
program will lose lot of votes
if it is going to mean the sacri-
fee of American industry and
jobs"
The main issue appeared to be
ECA's policy of encouraging
European imports. ECA Chief
Paul Hoffman has upheld this
plan as the only way to give
Europe a chance to earn dollars
and return to a solid recovery
base.
Mr.. Hoffman comedies that
some United States concerns may
be pinched or even thrown out Of
business by stepped-up European
competition. He argues, however,
that American operators must ad-
just themselves to the chances
and find new ways to meet COM
petition.

Truman's Stand Clear.
President Truman has made it
clear that he would not release the
files although he said he would
cooperate with the investigating
committee to disprove what he
described as false charges against
the department.
Senator Mccarthy noted that
the three Democratic members OF
the subcommittee hold positions
emitting them to highly secret in
formation.
These men have demonstrated
that they can be trusted with Sc
cret information" Senator Nc

he says he can't trust them with

ate Armed Services Committee;
Senator Mcmahon is chairman Of
the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee, and Senator

bers of the Foreign Relations
Committee.
Sees Public Pressure.
"I'm confident" Senator Nc
Carthy said, that public opinion
and the committee will force the
President to produce the files"
Senator Tydings said he plans
"to proceed as soon as possible
with the investigation.
He called the investigating group
for a meeting tomorrow to lay
plans for the inquiry and discuss
procedure. He said one or two
Outstanding and respected per-
sons" probably lawyers, will be
employed to act as counsel and
advisers.
Republicans succeeded in fore
ing the appointment OF a five
man rather than a three-man
committee as favored by Demo-
cratic leaders. Senator Connally
said he started out with the idea
that a three-man committee could
make the investigation more
expeditiously and efficiently" but
that he readily agreed" to the
Republican suggestions. ~
Cost May Reach $4,000.
The inquiry, he said. is expected
to cost between $4,000 and
$50, 900.
Meanwhile, the House Commit
tee on Un-American Activities
scheduled another open session OF
its hearing on Communist activity
in the Pittsburgh area for 1890
am. tomorrow.
It was expected there would
be additional testimony based or
information gathered by Matthew
Cvetic, who did undercover work
for the FBI during seven years as
an active member Of the Com
munist Party.
Mr.. Cvetic testified last week
Committee officials said he. had
furnished them data bearing or

venner would not say whether Mr.

be heard tomorrow.
