 It is rumored that the deal with the President was that the General won't keep the job than beyond the first of the year. By that time the President will have had time to find suitable The decision to relieve Johnson made in such short time there just wasn't time find anyone else qualified willing to take such big chore.

Mr.. Appley, one of the country's
outstanding personnel experts, de-
clared that the Government must
use. to the fullest, the talents and
work-capacity of it's employees.
To do this, the Government must
improve the caliber of its super

At present, there is no specific
program in Government either for
selecting or training Federal en-
ployes for supervisory jobs.
Mr.. Appley advocated that a
school Of management be created
in Government, with the most
outstanding Federal employees Sc
lected and trained there for
supervisors jobs.
Representative Miller, who at

Former Gov. Caldwell Sworn In
AS Civil Defense Administrator

Former Gov. Millard F. Cald-
well, jr., of Florida, was sworn in
today as Federal Civil Defense Ad-
ministrator and promptly pledged
himself to fast-moving but
sound civil defense program.
Surrounded by members of the
Florida congressional delegation,
Mr.. Caldwell was sworn in by
Judge James w. Morris of District
Court, an old friend of Mr.. Cald-
we'll.
The new administrator said he
would go to the Capitol this after
noon to meet with the Senate
Armed Services subcommittee
opening hearings on civil defense
legislation. He added, however,
that he would not testify on de-
tails OF the proposed civil defense
measure until he has had time to
find out what it's all about
On the basis of information he
has had so fur, he told reporters,
"a great deal of fine work has been
done" on civil defense.
After he studies the details of
the program, he said, and has
tapped every other source of in
formation, he will move forward
with sound fast-moving plan.
Asked what can be done about
the wide spread public attitude
that an atomic bombing means
death to every one. Mr.. Caldwell
said that fatalistic attitude grows
out of lack of knowledge.

the facts available to- the public" :"

talks end.
Supreme Chief Urged.
In this connection 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Attlee believes
the immdiate appointment of a
supreme commander for the pro-
jected Allied army in Western
Europe would prove a great boost
to European morale and do much
to Offset the effect of the reverses
which the U. N. forces have Suf-
fered in Korea. He is prepared
to urge this view on Mr.. Truman,
if, in fact, he has not already
done so.
At yesterdays second session,
which lasted an hour and so min
utes. Mr.. Truman and Mr.. Attlee
were reported to have discussed
the immediate course Of events in
Korea which turn on three posi-
bilities. These are ID the Chi
nese Communists may stop short
of an all-out effort to drive out
the U. N. forces. (2) the U. N.
forces may successfully hold on
to some area, and 80 they may
be driven out.
Well-informed diplomats said
they knew of no solid evidence,
arising from various talks under
way at United Nations headquar-
tiers, to warrant belief that there
is real hope of a settlement with
the Chinese Reds. The weight of
opinion here still appears to be
that if the Chinese are deter
mined to force all U. N. troops
from the Korean peninsula they
can do so.

Charles A. Ross into the news
paper work that led to his post
as the Presidents press secretary
After graduation from the Uni

years. During that time he was
offered a job with the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch. At first. he re-
jected it.
Last year he disclosed why he
quit teaching and took the news

Pauline Pfeiffer of Piggott, Ark,

itself. Almost any ALLEGATION sys-
tenn would automatically require
price fixing.
Before today's statement diplo-
matte informants had said that
about the f1rmest point yet de-
veloped in the British-American
discussions was agreement that
Europe is the prime center of
conflict with Soviet communism.
BY implication the reported
agreement affirms the British
Iview-and one long held by many
high officials here-that the West
fern powers cannot allow a large
portion of their military strength
to be sucked into a conflict with
Red China.
Dunkirk Talk Minimized.
Responsible informants reported
that the Truman-Attlee session on
the presidential yacht Williams
burg yesterday Afternoon was con-
|cerned with possible military and
diplomatic moves growing out Of
the critical situation in which
Communist Chinese forces have
placed U. N. troops in Korea
Among diplomats talk of possible
fighting evacuation-a kind of
Korean Dunkirk - continues al
though the United States, Defense
Department has made efforts to
minimize any such talk at this
time.
The talk of such a possibility
has, of course, always hinged on
the question of whether the
Chinese Reds continue their
heavy military pressure and the
U. N. forces are unable to estab-
lish a firm defense line.
The President and Prime Min
lister were reported agreed that
in the United Nations, the United
States and Britain would support
the pending demand for the Chi
nese Communists to get their
troops out of Korea.
There was considerable indica-
ton here that Britain. if not the
United States, would accept in
the U. N. proposal by 13 Asian
countries led by India for a cease
fire along the 38th Parallel.
Defense Of Europe Held Vital.
The trend of the talks has
made entirely clear, diplomatic
informants said, that the United
States has no intention of be-
coming engaged in a major war
in the Orient and clearly regards
Europe as being of foremost
strategic Importance.

satisfied himself that President
Truman and his advisers feel that

Of the big concerns in Mr.. Attlee's

apparently now feels as a result
Of his talks with the President
that there Is no danger that the
United States will embark on any
risky course in the Far East which
might jeopardize the build-up in
Europe.
Diplomats predicted that the
President would give Mr.. Attlee
some reinsurance on another point
which prompted his coming to
Washington-that is use of the
atomic bomb.
Atom Bomb Not Discussed.
Mr.. Attlee stated publicly that
he felt that the bomb should not
be used in Korea without consul
tation of all the countries whose
troops are fighting there. Basical-
ly he would like an agreement
from the President not to use the
bomb at all without some prior
|consulta with the British gov
ernment. However, both British
land American officials said that
the subject has not yet been dis
cussed at all in the meetings.
The way the whole world i
waiting intently for what may
come from the Truman-Attlee
talks was pointed up by an ad-
dress Brine Minister Nehru made
to the Indian Parliament at New
Delhi.
Mr.. Nehru said he could moi
make profitable suggestions" at
the moment and that the only
hope was that the talks between
the British Prime Minister and
the American President will lead
to a peaceful way out Of this
situation"
1t was emphasized, too, by a
statement from Prime Minister
Robert Menzies in Canberra that
Australia must be ready for q
major war, that "the danger Is
acute"
