Mr.. Services appeal today de-
clared that the Atkinson letter
was written when the specific
charge on which the case was to
hinge was not known.
In his protest, Mr.. Bingham said
the White House has told Federal
agencies "they could publish q
three Line statement that a man
had been found ineligible under
the loyalty program-and that's
ALL"
He added: 1--WE are not ashamed
of the report. 1t was fine report.
But we are sorry it was made
public because it contained re-
ferences to people"
Deputy Undersecretary of State
Carlisle H. Humelsine said he had
decided to make public the report
in connection with the dismissal
of Mr.. Service on December IA be-
cause he considered it Gin the
public interest" to do so. ~
The document was unclassified
(non-secret) when it came to the
State Department, Mr.. Humelsine

tion was set for Tuesday, Deem
Der Is, 1851, at which time the
Committee on Personnel was to
present a report to the Board of
Education and the board was ex-
pected to vote on whether 1t
should retain the superintendent
for another term, or terminate
his services on his anniversary
appointment date in March. 1852.
It was felt necessary, and fully
agreed by all members of the
board, that all members of the
Board Of Education should be
present when such a vital deci-
sion was to be made; for it must
be understood that the Committee
on Personnel was not empowered
or directed to bring in q recon-
as to the retention or
termination Of the services of the
superintendent. It was instructed
solely to review and evaluate his
services during his present term.
During my long service on the
Board Of Education. I have missed
very few meetings, but because
OF my physical condition and the
inclement weather, I, along with
one other professional member of
the board, could not attend the
special meeting of the board on
December 18, 1851, and it was
called of in view of the fact 1t
was to be held when all nine
members could be in attendance.
Urged Speedy Decision.
I have asked for a speedy deci-
sion IN this case, and so expressed
my views to the public press to
that effect, although 1t should be
noted that the present superin-
tendent was not notified Of his re-
newed appointment at the COM
pletion of his first term until Jan
uary 10, 1949.
At this season Of the year, it is
very difficult to arrange a meeting
date where all members could be
present to make such an important
decision, and every effort has been,
and still is being made, to set a
date for the special meeting of the
board.
1t is personally regrettable that,
after nearly a half century of
civic interest and work in behalf
|of Washington, to find that your
efforts are beclouded by those who
have not taken heed of a great
teacher who said Judge not lest
I've also be Judged" shall con-
|tinue to live according to my con-
science and act upon the evidential

boards decision rendered in a
matter which it has no authority
in law TO render" his attorney
argued, "the mere vacation of
that decision will not. In the cir
cunstances OF this case, undo the
|irreparable injury which 1T has
and win continue to cause Mr..
Service"
A major contention in SUPPORT
of the appeal for a new hearing
was the allegation that Mr. Ser
vice never has had hearing
specifically based on the charge
on which the review board panel
directly based its decision.
This charge alleged violation OF
Ia State Department regulation
against Intentional, unauthorized
disclosure to any person, under
circumstances which may indicate
|disloyalty to the United States, Of
documents or information of a
confidential or non-public char
acter. :. !"
Mr.. Service did not even know
lat the time OF his hearing before
the Loyalty Review Board panel
on November 8, 1851. that he was
being tried under this charge, %
his motion declared.
Admitted He Lent Files.
Mr.. Service has admitted lend
ing Mr.. Jaffe some copies from
his personal files Of his reports
about conditions in China. The
review board panel said this ac-
|tion, along with conversations with
Mr.. Jaffe in a hotel room here,
forces us, with great regret, to
conclude that there is reasonable
doubt" about Mr.. Services loyalty.
Mr.. Rhetts argued, in his ap-
peal, that "all the evidence re-
flutes" any intent by Mr.. Service
to harm the national interests in
his dealings with Mr.. Jaffe.
Conceding that Mr.. Service s'has
always admitted poor judgement
and lack of discretion in this
single episode" the appeal added
that "all the evidence shows that
his intent was loyal and the panel,
I'VE submit. explains no reasonable
basis for a doubt of this ultimate
and controlling fact"
Mr.. Service has contended that
the information he gave Mr.. Jaffe
was the same sort of background
information" he had been ac-
|customed to giving reporters in
China as part of his official duties
while attached to the staff of the
|theater commander there during
the war.
Atkinson's Letter Cited.
The review board panel cited
a letter from Brooks Atkinson, a
wartime correspondent in China
OF the New York Times, stating
that Mr.. Service was cautious
and guarded about matters he
considered confidential" as indi-
eating a strange contrast between

 The rest of the argument re volved around whether cities could control the problem and whether fireworks were too dangerous to limb and property for the amount of fun involved.
 The Third Division senators led the nti-fireworks arguments. They said the problem is beyond Anch- orage control because fireworks stands spring up outside the city limits which still is inside the city = and between civilians and soldiers there's bedlam and a ma jor fire menace.

BRISTOL BAY ELECTION OFF
 THIRD TIME

SEATTLE, July IT, The Ma tional Labor Relations Board today postponed for the third time an election among 2,300 resident and non resident Bristol Bay fishermen. Thomas P. Graham, Jr, regional NLRB director, said the election may be cancelled entirely.
 Seven election examiners from Washington, Cleveland. Chicago anc Seattle were ta have left by piano this morning for Naknekl~to carry out the election. They arc waiting here for a final decssien.
 A decision probably will be made Monday in Washington, D. C., Graham said. The election was orig inally ordered for June l to de- termine whether the Boring Sea Fishermen's union (AFD or the Alaska Fishermen's union CIndo should have collective bargaining rights.
 An election has been successfully blocked bys unfair labor practice charges filed by the Boring Sea union against the Alaska Salmon Industry, Inc. Such charges form a legal block to an election.
 The Industry was charged with signing an illegal contract with the AFU and with aiding the rival un- ion. Officials of the Bering Sea union yesterday informed the NLRB that they wanted to withdraw their petition for an election. The union petitioned for. the election last Jan uary after it broke away from the AFU.
 George Johansen, secretary treas urer of the AFU, sent a telegram to the NLRB demanding that the ! election be held. < "-f something isn't done now to straighten out the jurisdictional dispute in Bristol Bay, we will have more trouble than ever next year, when a much better salmon run IS expected" Johansen said.
 Members of the Bering Sea union returned to work yesterday follow ing a strike which had been called to gain recognition The strike end ed last Wednesday.
