Truman's loyalty program started
in 1947.
Loyalty officials, while not at
tempting to forecast the loyalty
boards action, said they thought
it was doubtful whether all the
cases would be reopened.
About 6,273 cases involved en-
ployes whose past records con-
tanned some action or reference
that necessitated preferring
charges against them. However
the evidence against them was SO
flimsy that no hearings were held
and the employees were cleared.
A top loyalty official said he
felt that most employees in this
category would not be re-investi-
gated, although their agencies
might be asked to take another
look at the files just to be certain.
The loyalty board also will de-
eide what to do about the 1900
employees who were cleared after
hearings by their agencies or the
top loyalty review board itself.
The loyalty board has cleared
about 700 employees, who had ap-
pealed from adverse action by
their agencies.
Many of this group of cases will
be reopened, loyalty officials be-
lieve. Likewise, some of the cases
involving employees cleared after
agency hearings may be investi-
gated, it was said.

Red China twice as much iron

arisen from Hong Kongs practice

Mccarthy Predicts
Firing Of Acheson
Within ; Weeks
BY The Associoted Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican.
of Wisconsin predicted yesterday
that Secretary of State Acheson
would be fired" within the next
three weeks.
His prediction was made in q
press release from his Washing
ton office shortly before he spoke
at a Chamber of Commerce meet
ing at Marshf1eld, Wis. Aides
in his Office said he vas expected
to include the remarks in his
speech.
President Truman has denied
he intends to let Mr.. Acheson 60.
Senator Mccarthy declared a
decision to dismiss Mr.. Acheson
was made shortly after William A.
Boyle. IT., chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, wrote
the State Department that Demo-
cratic congressman were being
flooded with letters demanding
something be done about the
State Department."
"Boyle's letter delivered by
sealed messenger instructed the
department to make some token
effort to clean out Communist
elements in the department in
order to pacify the public" the
Mccarthy statement said. Other
wise, the letter warned, the Demo-
cratic Party is doomed to defeat
in the so election"
The Senator contended it was
"one of the good results" of the
tragic firing of Gen Macarthur"
He added that Gen. MacArth-
ur's return called attention to
the State Departments sell-out to
communism and has awakened
the American people so thorough
ly that the administration can no
longer ignore demands that Ache
son be removed"
Sen. Mccarthy declared it would
be "a great "ictory for the people
when Acheson goes but the SELL

the administration also gets rid of
all the lieutenants. whom Acheson

The Senate Committee hearings
on the Macarthur case have pro.
duced bare references to one o1
the most carefully guarded mill
tary secretS-cryptography.
In war, or even in peace, crack
ing the code" of another nation
can be equal to the destruction OF
enemy armies or fleets. Because
the United States learned Japan's
communications code, it was ready
when the Jap feet made the costly
and unsuccessful strike at Midway
Island in World War II.
The term "cryptography" really
covers both the use of the code
and of cipher transmission ma
chimes.
De-coded Mechanically.
Thus, secret message can be
transmitted by the use of a ma
Chine which transmits symbols or
groups Of symbols which are de-
coded mechanically upon recep-
ton of the message.
Or cryptography may be merely
the old but still useful system of
using letters or groups of letters
which have no meaning until a

sage into plain language.
OF particular concern to those
who maintain the security of crp-
Biography systems is the chance
that a message sent by cipher
may appear. by accident, at a
later date in a public document
This would be useful material for
an espionage agent who, having
picked up the coded message from
radio or other sources, could COM
pare it with the plain-language
text and thus crack the code"

"sorely inadequate to meet the

In many instances the commits

French Vote June II
Planned 10 Cut Red
Power in Assembly
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, May II. - France will
choose a new National Assembly
Sunday, June II, under a new
election law written to cut the
strength of the Communists, now
her largest single party.
The Cabinet fixed the date to-
day. 1t acted few hours after
Parliament completed approval of
a bill to end the life of the pres
ent Assembly July 4.
The Council of the Republic,
the Advisory Upper House, in
dorsed the bill 278 to IS. The AS
sembly itself had approved 362
to 219.
About 24,600.000 voters are
eligible for the election. All 621
seats of the Assembly will be
filled.
The Communists won 167 seats
in the election of November 10,
1916, to take first place among
the II parties represented in the
Assembly. In addition, 19 other
deputies regularly vote the party
line. The next strongest party is
the Catholic. pro-labor Popular
Republican Movement (MRP)
with 145 seats.
Alliances Predicted.
The new election law permits
parties to make alliances and
sweep all seats in districts where
they win a clear majority. This
is expected to happen in perhaps
a. third of the 80 districts. In
even fewer districts will a single
party be strong enough to win
a majority.
In districts where no majority
appears, the seats are to be dis
tributed by the old system of
proportional representation. Each
party gets a slice of the cake
roughly corresponding to the size
OF its vote. The proportional
representation system also is re-
tanned for the Paris area-always
important in any French political
setup.
The provision for alliances hits
the Communists, long ago ex-
cluded from cabinet positions. be-
cause no other party wants to
line up with them. It also affects |
the followers of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, but they were not an Or
ganized party in 1916 and are
bound to make big gains. The
Gaullists are wary of alliances.
Communists Oppose Vote.
Premier Henri Queuille and his
supporters in the middle of the
road parties forced through the
election plans. which are inti-
mately tied up with French de-
fense efforts. Communists led
the opposition.
The Communists exhausted
every trick in the rule book in an
effort to delay the showdown.
They were helped by die-hard
members of what the French call
the "Syndicat des Sortants"-
the potential lame ducks pro-
tective association. An Algerian
deputy even started to read in
Arabic from the Koran, the
Moslem holy book.
Mr.. Queuiile and his friends
pleaded that if the election was
delayed until October, when the
Assembly's full five-year term
would expire, the whole summer
and fall would become a long ,
campaign period. when nothing
could be accomplished.
