'CiviIDefense-PIannel
Mock Bombing Raid
Alarms MaryIanders
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, July 5.-Tele-
phones at newspaper offices, police
headquarters and the telephone
company set up a merry jangle
last night with calls from worried
residents that the city was being
A-bombed.
And at Hagerstown, rs miles
away, a woman rushed excitedly
into a church service and broke
it up by shouting Baltimore is
being bombed and the planes are
on their way to Hagerstown now"
The calls grew out of mock
atomic attack on the city staged
by civil defense agencies. The
mock attack was carried by all
radio stations IN the State.
1t was reminiscent of a radio
networks broadcast of Orson
Wells invasion from Mars" more
than a decade ago which panicked
people throughout the Nation.
For several days. radio spot an
nouncements have explained that
the program would be aired-and
that it was only a mock raid. Last
nights program was broken every
few minutes to assure listeners ii
wasn't the real thing.
Those who became alarmed, ap-
parently only heard snatches of
the program and didn't hang
around to hear the drill" an
nouncements.
A telephone operator at the Sun
papers reported these snatches:
Has the bomb hit Baltimore?"
Il was scared to death. To
tell you the truth, I thought
the Reds was here"
There was a bunch of us at
the radio at my house and We all
got excited and rushed out"
Nobody killed, really?"
The Rev. j. Edgar Beckley, pas
tor of the Point Salem Mission,
an interdenominational church at
Hagerstown, said after the woman
screamed her warning from the
door a near-panic was averted by
a quick thinking man who jumped
up and explained he heard the
announcement, that 1t was just a
drill.
But his services were over for
the night.
1t seemed the woman heard a
bit of the program on a portable
radio belonging to a boy who was
sitting on the curb outside the
church.
Other calls came from many
parts of the State.

Appeals Court Orders
Hiring Of Man Fired
For NLRB Testimony
BY the Assoeiatsd Pres,

A firm may not discriminate
against an employe for testifying
before the National Labor Rela-
tions Board, the United States
Court of Appeals ruled today.
The court made the ruling in
lupholding board order against
the John Hancock Mutual Life In
surance Co.
The case involved Samuel
Kohen, who tried to organize a
union of John Hancock assistant
district managers in the New York
area in 1947. Mr.. Kohen was dis
charged for 'incompetency" after
testifying before the board in a
hearing on certification of the
union.
Mr.. Kohen, who had been an
Iagent before he was made an
assistant district manager, asked
for his old job back. The company
refused, although Mr.. Kohen said
lit was the practice to give an
agent job to any one relieved from
his position of assistant district
manager.
Under the company's view, the
court said, the Taft-Hartley Act
would permit denial Of employ
ment to an applicant such as
Kohen on the ground that he had
filed charges or given testimony
before the board"
THAT would be not only a
license to the vicious practice Of
blacklisting, but to thwart the ad-
ministration Of the act itself by
ignoring the ever present threat
|of such intimidation" Judge David
L. Bazelon wrote.
Judge James M. Proctor shared
Judge Bazelon's views, but Judge
Bennett Champ Clark disagreed
in part. saying the board erred
in deciding the company COM
Imltted an unfair labor practice.
The boards order directed the
company to give Nj. Kohen a Job
as an agent. and to reimburse him
for past salary.
The union Mr.. Kohen tried to
organize never became bargain-
ing representative for the as
Isistant district managers. The
board ruled they were supervisors
and, as such, not employees within
the meaning Of the act.

Suspension Of Moore
In Lard Manipulation
BY The Assoeia,ed Pres.

The United States Court Of Ap-

pension of Ralph w. Moore's
commodity market trading priv
Iileges. He was accused of trying
Ito manipulate the price Of lard
Secretary of Agriculture Bran
man issued the suspension order
against the Washington commod-
Iity trader November Is, 1850. II
had been stayed pending Mr.
IMoore's appeal to the courts.
Thomas j. Flavin, Agriculture
Department judicial officer who
conducted public hearings. rulee
that Mr.. Moore Cd knowingly
made false reports concerning
market information that tended
Ito affect the price of lard; I'd at
tempted to manipulate the price
|of lard, and (3) failed to make
the required reports on his trad
ing operations.
The complaint against Mr.. Moore

orandum to the press. making 1t
appear it was sponsored by respon-
sible Government officials, and
stating the Government was about
Ito undertake a big lard export

dunn was intended to manipulate
the market. He said 1t was based
on statistics in reports and state
ments by officials. including Presi-
dent Truman.

findings of the Agriculture De-

the evidence. -

InOLQlQB SIloulu
Ibe done along this line this year.
las q result, no official recommen-
dation is likely to be sent to Capt.
ltol Hill.
In the first place. administra-
ltion officials feel that in the pres
lent national emergency, Congress
lis in no mood to reduce veterans
benefits, and that it would be a
mistake to press the issue.
Secondly, Civil Service Commits
sion and Budget Bureau officials
have been unable to obtain the
lco-operation of the various de-
partments and agencies to provide
specific cases to support the argu-
ment that the present law has re-
suited in non-veteran careerists
with 20 to 80 years Of service los
| ing their jobs to veterans with Tar
less service.
EITHER the agencies can't come
Iup with many cases or they're too
lazy to make the effort" a COM
mission official remarked.
Mr.. Ramspeck's proposal was
that veterans with II years or
more of Federal service have abso-
lutte Job retention rights over non
veterans, but that non-veteran
career employees with II years or
more of service have job retention
rights over veterans with less than
that amount Of service.
Meanwhile, the career employe
groups are trying to get major
veterans organizations to agree
Ito some modification in view OF
the fact that the Government may
once again be in for a reduction
in-force program when the Ko-
rean war ends. Although mass
dismissals aren't likely, the career
groups are anxious to protect their
members.
The veterans groups, however.
show no inclination to agree to
any modification of the present
veterans preference law.
