In their radio-television debate
yesterday Senators Taft and Doug.
las revealed how the two parties
are pulling apart on bipartisan
foreign policy as well as on do
mestic issues. Mr.. Taft said there
had been no bipartisan foreign
policy for at least a year, but
merely a process of asking Re-
publicanS to go alone with de-
cisions made unilaterally by the
State Department.
Douglas Attacks Republicans.
Senator Douglas replied that
when a part of the foreign policy
works. as the Marshall plan has
in Europe, the Republicans claim
q hand in it. but when difficulties
are encountered. as in China, they
take a different view.
On the domestic front, Senator
Taft asserted the Truman pro-
gram seeks to introduce the Brit
ish type Of socialist reforms, in
place Of the free-enterprise sys-
TEN under which the United
States has grown. Senator Doug
las retorted that the Republicans
seldom talk about getting rid of
reforms that Democratic admin
have already. put into
effect. but are always afraid OF
what may be done in the future.
Senator Taft said he favors in
old-age pensions and
broader coverage. but is opposed
to socialized medicine. He pointed

would also give employees the right
to only one appeal in whatever
they are appealing. This would
make it easier to get rid of in
competent employees. they say.
Such a procedure would not
hurt the bulk of the Government s
employees but actually help them,
the officials contend. They say
that at present IS per cent of the
Governments employees have to
bear the brunt of the incompe-
tence Of the other 5 per cent. But
it remains to be seen whether the
various employe groups would ia
vor cutting down an employees
right of appeal to only one chance.
How the proposed standardized
appeals system would actually
work has not been finally decided
on by its sponsors. One proposal
is establishment of an appeals di-
vision in the commission that
would hear all appeals in the Gov
ernment.
Incidentally, the proposal for a
Standardization of the Govern
ment's appeals system has the
support of the powerful National

Campaign Statement
BY the Asseeieied Press

Senator Taft, Republican, Of
Ohio started Republican law
makers working today on . cam
paign policy statement as q Dem.
ocratic chieftain headed for Ohio
to dig up q Senate candidate
against Senator Taft.
Senator Taft called a meeting
OF his 15-member committee for
1 o'clock this afternoon to outline
methods of getting into words the
Republican Party's aims for this
years campaign.
AS he did 50, Democratic Ma
tional Chairman William Boyle,
jr.. arranged a meeting in CO.
lumbus with AL Horstman, Ohio
national committeeman. to dis
cuss an opponent for Senator
Taft in the November election.
On the Republican policy issue,
Senator Taft already has made It
plain he expects Senate and House
colleagues to decide what will 60
into the platform without too
much interference from q Is
member Policy Committee named
by Republican National Chairman
Guy G. Gabrielson.
However. Senator Taft said Ma
tional Committeeman Clarence
Burlington Kelland Of Arizona, a
nationally known author, will be
invited to help put the final draft
into words. "
Senator Aiken, Republican, Of
Vermont, said he doesn't want the
party to get too far away from

ments already have suffered the
bulk Of the $4,000 civilian per-
sonnel reduction that has taken
place In the Defense Department
and they are waiting to see how
much money they can count on
before doing any additional hir-
ing.
Incidentally, the Civil Service
Commission. in reporting the
downward trend in Federal en-
ployment during the past few
months. says that fewer Govern
ment employees in Washington are
quitting their jobs than in many
many years. The reason is at
tributed to the tight employment
situation. Most personnel reduc-
tions in Government employment
these days result from dismissals
and retirements. Few people are
voluntarily giving up their jobs
to look elsewhere.
NAVY-Criticism is being heard
among Navy Department civilian
employees about the way Navy
charges its employees with being
bad security risks" without CIV
ing them the benefit of a hearing
or revealing the nature of the
charges.
Under the authority given it by
Congress, the Navy has the au-
thority to summarily dismiss en-
ployes on bad security risk
charges. But some of the en-
loyes contend that Congress had
in mind cases involving national
security instead of minor infrac-
tions of the rules.
Those employees charge that
utilizing the security risk regu-
lations in cases where no ma
tional security risk is actually
involved. violates the intent of
Congress.

The Wabash River, straining

The liferaft was picked up 48
miles east of Stockholm and about
200 miles north of Lepaya UibaU
LatYia, where the Russians said
they encountered an American
"B-29 Flying Fortress" attempting
to photograph Soviet defenses.
Rats Sent to Port Lyantey.
American Air Force officials at

that second liferaft which could
have belonged to the Privateer
had been picked up 35 miles
southeast of Goetland Island, of
Sweden's east coast. by a Swedish
vessel, the Hittade.
Like the first. it was sent to
the United States Navy base at
Port Lyautey, Morocco, North
Africa. This was the Privateer'S S
station.

said:
THE life raft recovered by the
British steamer Beechland on
April Is. in the Baltic Sea 48 miles
off the coast of Sweden has not
yet been definitely identified as
one of the RATS carried by the
United States Navy Privateer pa
troll airplane missing since April 8.
Markings on the raft were
identical with those on RATS issued
to the squadron to which the
missing aircraft was attached.
The raft has been shipped to
the Navy Department at Wash
ington for further examination. 4"
Demands Curtly Rejected.
The Russian government yester-
day curtly rejected American de-
mands for compensation for the
plane and its crew of 10. The
Russians said their fighters en-
countered a B-29, not a Privateer,
and chased it out of Soviet terri
tory after an exchange of fire.
The United States declared the
Privateer was, unarmed, did not
violate Soviet territory and was
shot down over the open Baltic
Sea. The United States said the
Privateer was the only American
plane in the Baltic area that day,
and that none of it's B-29s is miss
ing. The Privateer. like the B-29
has four engines, but is much
smaller.
