623 Dogs Vaccinated
As Campaign Opens

The Health Department began
it's sixth annual rabies vaccina-
ton campaign yesterday after
noon by immunizing 623 dogs at
IL places.
Last year the first days vacci-
nation had 625 dogs and the first
week, 1000 were vaccinated. The
second week, however, the number
jumped to 1000. During the
campaign last summer $4,000 dogs
were vaccinated.
w. w. Burdette, director of the
Bureau Of Food Inspection, who
has charge of the campaign, to-
day asked all dog owners to get
their dogs to one of the stations
as soon as possible. Vaccinations
are held every Monday, Wednes-
day and Friday afternoon through
August 4, except on rainy days,
from 4 to 6 pm. Failure to have
dogs vaccinated subjects owners
to fine of not more than $500.

Meanwhile, Senate economy
bloc headed by Senators. Byrd.
Democrat, of Virginia. and
Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire, will attempt this
week to cut expenditures for the
non-military agencies. Even if
they are successful, the final re-
suit will not be nearly as severe
as the original action by the
House. The prospect seems to be
that some mild Federal employ
ment cuts finally will be called
for, but that the bulk of these
can be achieved by not filling job
vacancies caused by normal per-
sonnel turnover.

LOYALTY-The question as to
why the Federal loyalty program
did not turn up the case of Ju-
dith Coplon was answered re-
Gently at a closed hearing of the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee.
Senator Ferguson, Republican,
of Michigan, wanted to know why
the loyalty program did not dis
close the activities Of Miss Coplon,
who has been convicted by Federal
juries here and in New York of
espionage.
Lawrence Meloy. secretary OF
the Federal Loyalty Board, told
the committee the FBI had sus-
pected Miss Coplon before the
loyalty program had gotten I'm
derway and, therefore, she was not
processed under the program.
This explanation was amplified
by Civil Service Commissioner
Frances Perkins, who told the
committee:
'The evidence on Coplon was
not discovered through the loyal
ty program but was discovered by
the Counter Intelligence. They
discovered Coplon, and they did
not investigate her under the 10y
atty program because they were
already handling her on the es-
pionage."

|Symington Seeks Out
Union Chiefs Advice
On Labor Controls
By Francis P. DouqIos

W. Stuart Symington, chairman
of the National Security Resources
Board, was to meet today with top
labor leaders for an informal and
preliminary discussion of man
power controls under mobilization
conditions.
The board stressed that its mo-
bilization plans affecting man
power, which are under continu-
Gus study, have not been changed
materially by the Korean crisis
because it is not known whether
additional war production will be
needed.
1t is up to the Defense De-
partment to indicate it's addition
al needs, it was said.
The Munitions Board likewise
said that its plans have not been
affected particularly. 1t observed
that no state of emergency has
been declared.
The procedure in regard to pro-
duction was described as following
this course: The services present
schedules of their needs to the
Munitions Board which goes over
them and presents them in turn
to the NSRB. The latter board
balances the military needs against
the production needs of the civil
ian economy.
Production Demands Awaited.
Should the situation develop
into an emergency, naturally allo-
cations of production for the civil
ian economy would be scaled down.
It was stressed, however. that this
condition is not in sight. r.
1t was emphasized at the NSRB
that any question of manpower
controls in connection with the
present war situation is academic
until it is known what production
needs will be. There is this diff
ference, however, between the
present and the defense period of
1940-1. Then. there was sur
plus of manpower, with about 8
million workers unemployed. Now
the unemployed number only
about 100000 and there is little
doubt that employment this year
will exceed the 1948 peak.
On the question of emergency
manpower controls. the labor
leaders who will meet with Mr..
Symington today were reported to
oppose any labor draft. They
contend that voluntary controls
would be sufficient.
Union Officials Present.
Those attending the luncheon at
the Hotel Statler include William

BONDING BILL-The measure
to save Government employees
about SIT million a year they
now spend for surety bonds in
connection with their work, was
blocked temporarily yesterday in
the House.
The measure came up on the
consent calendar and was passed
over without prejudice" which
means it will be eligible to come
up for House consideration a week
from next Monday. The House
members blocking the bills pas.
sage yesterday wanted more in.
formation about the measure.
The bill provides that the Gov.
|ernment, instead of the employees
would shoulder the costs of thu
bonds. About 100000 Government
workers, whose work require.
them to handle Federal money
are affected by the legislation.

Congressional speculation or
who might get the chairmanshir
was virtually non-existent. Still
Senators familiar with atomic
matters said they were convinced
that the President has made ur
his mind, or will quickly, on g
successor to David E. Lilienthal
who resigned February Is.
The appointment for the FIVE
year term which still is vacant
would bring the commission up to
its full f1ve-member strength.
One name mentioned in cloak
room gossip was that of Wilson M.
Compton, SO, president of Wash
ington State College. but it was
just as quickly discounted by other
sources. Mr.. Compton. an econo-
mist, is brother of atomic scien-
lists, Karl T. and Arthur H. Comp
ton.
Heavy Vote Was Surprise.
Mr.. Pike. Mr.. Truman's choice
for the second longest Acc term,
won confirmation hands down
yesterday. Although his triumph
had been conceded privately in
advance by opponents. the vote
was considerably more lopsided
than anticipated.
Thirty-eight Democrats and II
Republicans voted for the 5S-year-
old Maine Republican. while five
Democrats and 19 Republicans
opposed him.
The vote rejected a 5-to-4 rec
ommendation of Senate members
OF the Joint Congressional Atomic
Energy Committee that Mr.. Pike
be permanently retired from the
post he first took over under
recess appointment from Mr..
Truman on October %, 1916.
Had Been Acting Chairman.
He was confirmed for a regu-
lar term April 9, 1947, and served
continuously until June 80, when
his term expired while the nomi-
nation was still tied up in the
Senate. He had been acting
chairman since Mr.. Lilienthal's
departure.
Chairman Mcmahon of the
joint committee, in urging con-
firmation, told the Senate he did
not expect Mr.. Truman to name
MIR. Pike permanent chairman.
He made the statement in answer
to an inquiry from Senator
Smith. Republican, of New Jersey.
Senator Mcmahon told the
Senate he was Eat a loss" to know
why objection had been raised
against Mr.. Pike.
Senator Hickenlooper, Repub-
1fcan. of Iowa one of Mr.. Pixies
chief critics, contended that be-
cause "of an accumulation of rea-
sons" he did not feel that Mr..
Pike measured up to the respon-
sibilities of the Acc job.
Senator Hickenlooper, ranking
Republican member of the joint
committee and its past chairman,
went on to link Mr.. Pike with an
ACC mission to Britain in Au-
gust. 1948. which nearly resulted
in the disclosure to British SCI
entists OF United States plutonium
metallurgy secrets.
"The metallurgy of plutonium,"
Senator Hickenloper told the Sen
ate "Is the metallurgy of the
explosion in an atomic bomb"
The incident was involved over
the week end in an exchange be-
tween Mr.. Pike, in an interview
with Martin Hayden, published in
The Star Sunday, and Lewis L.
Strauss, former member of the
Acc, in an answering letter to
Senator Mcmahon. J

kills Truman's 5 Plan

cialized medicine" Congress has
killed President Truman's plan to
create a department of health,
education and security.
The death blow to Mr.. Tru-
mans proposal that could have
made Oscar Ewing a cabinet
member was dealt yesterday by
the House.
BY 249 votes to II it passed a
resolution vetoing the proposal to
transfer all agencies of the Fed
eral Security Agency (FSA) to a
new department of health, educa-
ton and security. Major agencies
involved were the Social Security
Administration, the Office of Edu-
cation and the Public Health
Service.
Mr.. Ewing heads the FSA, and
was generally believed to be in
line to become a cabinet officer
had Congress not rejected the re-
shutting.
No Senate Action Required.
No Senate action is required.
The reorganization law permits
either branch of Congress to null
lily a reorganization plan within
60 days Of its submission.
The Senate Expenditures Com
mittee yesterday voted 6 to 3
against the FSA reorganization
plan but the Senate itself has not
acted.
1t was the first Truman reor-
ganization plan beaten by the
House. Six others had been re-
jected by the Senate. Twenty
more have gone into effect with.
out congressional disapproval.
One more becomes effective on
July 81, unless vetoed, and no
opposition to it is sighted.
In all, the President has sent
~ reorganization plans to Con-
gress this year. They were based
in varying degrees on recon-
mendations of a bipartisan COM
mission headed by former Presi-
dent Herbert Hoover.
COP Says Plans Conflict.
Republicans who led the fight
against the FSA reshuff1ing ar
gued it was in direct conflict with
Hoover commission recommended
tions.
They based their opposition
mainly. however. on their claim
that the plan was a broad step
in the direction of socialized medi-
cine and a move to build up Mr..
Ewing politically.
Mr.. Ewing long has been a
target OF congressional criticism
because Of his stand on public
health and compulsory health in
surance under Federal supervi-
sion.
Representative Arends, Repub-
lican. Of Illinois sounded the key
note of the opposition when he
told the House there is hardly
any doubt" that Mr.. Ewing would
use the prestige and influence
OF his new rank in the Presidents
cabinet to promote the socialized
medicine program he has been
vigorously advocating"
Democrats Deny Connection.
Truman Democrats countered
that there was no connection be-
tween the reorganization proposal
and socialized medicine. Demo-
cratic Leader Mccormack empha-
sized that only Congress, by sep
arate action. could enact a Fed
eral health insurance program.
Many Democrats who normally
support the President on most of
his proposals deserted him on the
ron-call, while Republican lines of
opposition stood fast.
Only one Republican, Represen-
tative Javits Of New York, voted
against the resolution that killed
the plan. He was joined by 10
Democrats. In opposition to the
reorganization were I06 Demo-
Gratis and 143 Republicans,

More Talks Planned
On Dispersal Funds

The question when appropria-
ton requests for the dispersal OF
Government agencies into Mary
land and Virginia will be resub-
mitted to Congress still remains
to be settled.
Jess Larson, General Services
administrator, said today he had
discussed the question with Budget
Bureau officials but no definite
decision had been reached. There
will be additional conferences.
The alternative is to resubmit the
request for money when Congress
reconvenes next month, or to wait
until the start of the 82d Con-
greSs.
A request for $139.S million to
start the dispersal program failed
of passage before Congress re-
cessed.
One of the reasons Mr.. Larson is
anxious to get start on the pro-
gram is the increasing demand for
office space for agencies with de-
tense assignments. On October
18. GSA said these agencies said
they expected to increase their
STATS in Washington by 1890
persons. That figure has been
increased now to 19.500.

ground observer filter center for
this area, being set up in Balti-
more. This center also will be
served by volunteer civilians.
The filter center will transmit
the information to the Air Force
agencies concerned with positive
identification of the planes.
First test will be conducted by
the Eastern Air Defense Force

inally was named to the job but
cannot serve because of a trans
fer, Col. Hayes said.
Mr.. Burbridge was a ground in
