greater than the average" pay for
all employees in the rest of the
Governments departments and

forced many salary cuts in such

proved by Congress would help
hold the salaries Of these emer-

same time avoid drastically cutting
the salaries of many present en-

Vatican.
He has therefore nominated
Gen. Mark w. Clark to be AM
bassador to the State of Vatican
City.
During the war. the late Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed Mr..
Myron Taylor as the personal
representative of the President to
his Holiness, the Pope.
During and after the war the
Taylor mission performed an ex-
tremely useful service not only in
the field of diplomacy but in the
amelioration Of human suffering.
That service is set forth in official
correspondence published from
time to time
'"The President feels that the
purposes Of diplomacy and hu-
manitarianism will be served by
this appointment.
1T is well known that the Vati-
can is vigorously engaged in the
struggle against Communism.
Direct diplomatic relations will as
gsist in co-ordinating the effort to
combat the Communist menace.
Thirty seven other nations
have for great many years main
tanned at the Vatican diplomatic
representatives"
Protestant churchmen criticized
the move as political, questioned
its constitutionality, called 1t a
blow at unity and found it incom-
patible with the tenet of separa-
ton of church and state.
Several Catholic leaders, in
cluding Francis Cardinal Spell
man of New York, expressed pleas
ure over the appointment. Cardi-
nal Spellman said the United
States and the Vatican held "iden-
tical objectives of peace" Logi-
cally there should be a practical
exchange on how to achieve it,
he said. The cardinal praised
Gen. Clark as an able and patri-
otic American"
Vatican Delighted.
In Rome a Vatican spokesman,
Msgr. Joseph McGeough, said high
Roman Catholic circles were de-
lighted by President Truman's de-
cision. He reported that the news
was received there with satisfac-
ton. Oficial comment will be
withheld until the Vatican re-
ceives formal notification, he ex-
planned.
A United States diplomat in
Rome commented that the ap-
pointment came as "a bolt from
the blue"

Clark has had headquarters as
commander of Army Field Forces,

Pope birthday gifts each year

sions would hamstring the Fed
eral service.
Congress continued Tor another
year the present ban on perma-
nent promotions and transfers,
but it modified the additional re-.
strictions voted by the House sew
eral months ago in adopting the
Whitten rider. The compromise
adopted by Congress actually was
drafted by Chairman Johnston Of
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee, who presented it to the Senate
Appropriations Committee when
it was handling the first 1852 sup
Elemental bill. The Senate modi-
fled the measure and the House
finally agreed to the changes.
Job Protection Increased.
AS originally adopted by the
House, Government workers would
have had to remain in their pres
ent grades for at least one year
before becoming eligible for even
temporary promotions. Also. pro-
motions of more than one grade
were banned.
However. Congress has voted to
modify this considerably. And in
addition. greater job protection
rights were voted to career en-
ployes who transfer to other
agencies. Career workers who
transfer from one agency to an
other will be allowed to retain
their permanent status rights in
the new agency at the grade they
held in their old bureaus. And
they still will retain their re-
employment rights to their old
jobs when the national emergency
Is over.
Regarding promotions, Congress
voted that the one-year restric-
ton be waived when an employe
Is within reach for appointment
to a higher grade position on Q
: Civil Service register, or when ar
employe was being advanced to 9
higher grade from which he hae
been previously denoted or separ.
ated as a result of a reduction ir
force.
Multiple Promotions Allowed.
Also. multiple promotions will
be allowed in the cases of pro
fessional. scientific and technica
employees who have qualified fol
two-grade promotions authorized
under the Civil Service Classifi
cation Act. Two-grade promotions
also will be allowed to position
not higher than GS-5 and in case!
where employees have completed

Service Commission.

Underground ; Plants
Produce A-Bombs for
Russians, Swedes Say
By Steffon Andrews
North American Newspaper Alliance

tNci" SSVefiS9H iNS"sPofet @"HA"S~
Russia has three "atomgrads"
producing atomic bombs under
direct orders of the Politburo. ac-
cording to reliable Swedish in
formantS.
This information has been
placed before congressional COM
mittees in a private research re-
port appraising the strength of
Russia.
The informants. identified only
as coming from Sweden. said all
three atomgrads are underground
plants.
The first plant is in the Kusbas
region. the second near Lake
Baikal. on the borders Of Outer
Mongolia. and the third east of
the Urals, northwest of the big
industrial center of Magnitogorsk.
Misinformation Feared.
The Swedes asserted that
United States officials were mis-
informed if they believed that the
flrst atomic bomb the Russians
produced was given to them on a
silver platter by American and
Canadian spies.
The bomb the Russians finally
succeeded in making was not Of
the type tested by the United
States at Alamogordo, N. NJ. and
later used against Hiroshima and
NagaSaki. they declared.
What the Russians first devel-
oped was bomb similar to the one
that the Germans had made ex-
perimentally during the last war,
using deuterium, or heavy water,
the top Swedish informant in
sisted.
THE Soviets must still start
quantity production of Uranium
235," he added.
The Swedish informants said
the Russians are desperately try
ing to catch up to the knowledge
that the Western powers have
about the atomic bomb by taking
short cuts.
But they said that the Russians
still had the hardest work ahead
of them, because they still have
not mastered all the production
know-how.
Production Problem Solved.
Since the United States has
solved the production problem in
all its aspects, the Swedes are of
the impression that the Russians
lag at least four years behind
American development.
Until the Russians accumulate
a stockpile of fashionable raw ma
terials, it is doubtful they can ac-
cumulate much of stockpile.
The informants said that the
Kremlin was insisting on the ut
most speed, the work at the three
underground laboratories being
done under forced conditions"
The Swedes said the Russians
probably would continue to have
production difficulties indefinitely
because their industrial establish
ment simply was not geared to
produce atomic bombs in guam
tity. -s.
