Second Cargo Of Planes

Bizerte, North Africa, today with
her second cargo of United States

course is finally adopted should be
carried out in way to make it as
painless as possible" for present
Government workers.
In otner words. sentiment ap-
peared in favor of reduction by
attrition-by not filling some of
the 225 900 Federal vacancies that
occur each year through normal
personnel turnover.
Government officials, however,
declare the HouSe-approved Jen-
sen amendment limiting the filing
of vacancies to 10 per cent would
be much too harsh.
Many Federal officials fatty de-
clare such provision would be
impossible to operate" They say
such rigid restrictions, as we'll as
the vagueness as to what consti-
tutes a legitimate vacancy. would
bring Government operation to a
StandStill.
They're looking to the Senate to
make the ban on filling vacancies
a little more liberal. They de-
clare that. unless Federal agencies
are allowed to fill at least so per
cent of vacancies, grave adminis-
trative trouble will result.
ANOTHER HEADACHE-The
other House amendment, provid-
ing for a 10 per cent reduction in
non military agencies and a per
cent cut in military bureaus. poses
another dilemma. This Taber-
Thomas proviso is at cross pur-
poses with the Jensen attrition
amendment, and no one yet has
been able to figure out how the
two provisions would work out if
both were put into effect.
It seems obvious that one of the
two riders will have to be elm
mated by Congress, or else merged
into a single amendment.
DIFFERENCE OF OPINION
A lot Of agency heads would
rather take a. fiat 5 to 10 par cent
cut in their personnel expenses
than be limited to filling only 10l
per cent Of vacancies. They feel
it would be administratively
easier. ....
But Government employees favor
the leave filling ban as the lesser
Of two evils. In this way actual
dismissals could be, kept at. a rea-
sonable minimum.

OUTLOOK-The consenus on
Capitol Hill right now is that Con-
gress will choose the ban-on- fill
ing-vacancies methods to achieve
the great bulk of personnel reduc-
tions. although some firings un-
doubtedly will be necessary.
Whatever the final number of
job reductions ordered by Con-
gress, about 10 per cent of the cuts
would be in Washington. The use
Of attrition probably would pre-
vent very many dismissals.

In the early '40s, Nelson was
sent to California as Communist
Party organizer for Alameda
County. There he ran into his
old acquaintance. now Mrs. OPP
penheimer, and an invitation for
Nelson to call on the scientist and
his wife was extended.
Cleared for Super Secret Work.
DR.. Oppenheimer was associated
with the Manhattan project. at
the time. His background had
been investigated and he had been
cleared for the Super-secret work.
He was consultant of the Univer-
sity Of California radiation lab
oratory and also did work for
the metallurgical laboratory of the
University of Chicago.
It was in California, according
to security officials, that he was
approached for atomic informa-
ton by an agent acting at the
behest of an official of the Soviet
consulate In San Francisco.
Playing on the political naivete
common among scientists, this
agent argued to Dr.. Oppenheimer
that the United States and the
Soviet Union were allies and,
therefore, the Russians were en-
titled to any and all technical
data which would help prosecute
the war. This agent knew, too,
of DR.. Oppenheimer's left wing
associations and that, like most
scientists. he believed in the free
interchange of ideas and data.
According to the record of the
House committee. however, DR.
Oppenheimer told this agent he
considered such an attempt to
obtain information reasonable
and would have no part of it. The
scientist then reported the attempt
to Gen. Groves.

Some months later. DR.. Open
heimer was put in charge of the
Los Alamos IN. M project, where
he earned his reputation for con-
tributing as much as any other
individual to the successful pro-
duction of the first atomic bomb
He now heads the Institute for
Advanced Study at Princeton
University, and is chairman Of the
General Advisory Committee OF
the Acc.
What causes deep regret among
security officials. scientists and the
Acc, is the fact that the charges
now being made before the Cali
fornia Senate against a man who
has done so much for the Nation
and whose loyalty has been estab-
lished after investigations, are
making scientists more and more
loath to work for the Government

WOMENS CORNER

Buying the right foods for a
healthful diet plays an import
ant part of living these days. 1t
is just as important in knowing
how to handle food after reaching
home. Many vitanlins disappears
between the market and our tables
and many valuable minerals go
down the sink or into the garbage
can.
Wrong methods of handling
foods waste money and deprive
you and your family of the ele-
nents you need to build strong
;odies and good nerves.
There are several ways in which
vitanins may be lost in prepar-
aticn. Heat destroys some. The
oxygen in the air burns up others.
Water dissslves others which
means they are missing when
they are cooked in too much wa
ter or too lung a time. Soda and
other alkaline substances cut.
