A soft summer breeze rippled
the flags as formations of low
flying jet and propeller driven
Navy planes 131 in all -
whistled and roared along the
procession route toward the green
hills Of Arlington.
Tanks crawled slowly down the
avenue, along with anti-aircraft
guns.
AS the caisson, drawn by seven
white horses. passed by, the
crowds were motionless and silent
and servicemen saluted.
AS it entered Arlington a IT.
gun salute roared over the hills
at one minute intervals. The sa-
lutte was repeated when the casket
reached the graveSide.
The service ended with the
traditional three volleys from
rifles and the blowing of TAPS"

Mrs. Rosenberg ordered that
military personnel shall not be
assigned to replace the civilian
personnel reduced by the direc-
tive -+
1T is the responsibility of the
secretaries of the military depart
ments and the heads Of activities

affect this reduction by Sc

lated to cause the minimum
interference with essential activ-
lities,' she stated.
Full consideration will be given
to these organizations which have
ALREADY effected significant man
power economies. Progress will
be reported . on l September. "
Mrs. Rosenberg said new and
recently established activities that
have not been fully stated should
submit immediate JuStlficatlonS as
to personnel so that requirements
can be ascertained and a new CELL
ing established" ~
She further charged the service
secretaries with "insuring that the
intent of this directive is not
avoided by the use of extensive

Baltimore Bar Head Warns

BALTIMORE. July 28.-An Of
fetal of the Baltimore City Bar
Association said yesterday there
exists some reason to investiQate
several Baltimore lawyers" as pos
sible Communists or advocates. of
overthrowing by force the Govern
ment of the United States.
The bar groups executive com.
mittee yesterday suggested that
such lawyers be recommended to
The Supreme Bench for diSbarment

Bar Association President Will

members against "prejudging any
man" -
However" he added, evidence
Iof events here and in Washing
ton e. appear to constitute cause
for Investigations"
He did not say what form such
an inquiry would lake, but it was
indicated it would be primarily
the responsibility of the grievance
committee.

Employe Cuts to Reduce
Reich Occupation Costs

FRANKFURT, Germany. July
28.-The United States High
Commission announced that under
a personnel reduction program
German occupation costs are ex-
pected to be cut approximately
l million marks (about $3.50, 000)
annually.
1t was estimated that 200 en-
ployeS, both American and Ger.
man, will be dismissed by Sep
TENDER in the states. districts and
headquarters. The cuts have been
made gradually since spring. Oc-
cupation costs are borne by Ger
many.

say that replied the officer, 81
said We hoped that it was not an
indication of bad faith. This is
an estimate. This is merely the
indications. :"
Reporters began peppering the
officers for typewriter copies of
the statement. Significantly, not
a single high-ranking public in
formation officer was in the room,
although at least an. information
service colonel is always usually
present for the briefingS.
AS major in the Army's Public
information Division started to get
the only available copy of the
statement for processing for the
neWsmen reporter remarked
that Senator Taft and others at
the Capitol would be interested.
The general who had participated
! in the briefing suddenly decided
to take the copy and depart.
Reporters got together and re-
CONSTRUCTED what had taken place
from their hastily scrubbed notes.
A Defense Department spokesman
/ first said that no transcript V, ould
be available nor could reporters
listen to the tape recording Of the
proceedings. However, about
pm. transcript was made avail
able.
1t was after 9 pm. that Mr.
Fritchey disavowed as not official
but did not deny-the morning
statements. Predictions had been
heard during the day that the
days developments would lead to
Ireverberations in Congress. APP
Iparently with this in mind. among
other things. Mr.. Fritchey de-
lclared the unusual statement
should not be construed as a
Defense policy or a change OF
policy, or a policy of the Army
chief of staff (Gen. J. Lawton
Collins"
Timing AmaZeS Reporters.
| What amazeS the reporters was
the timing of the statement. II
came shortly before U. N. anG
Communist negotiators at Kae-
song resumed talks on the touchy
question of setting up a buffer
zone between the opposing forces
i'm Korea.
Some of the information was
not new-stofies of the Red build
up has appeared in The Star and
other publications-but it was the
first time the Army officially made
such an admission.
But the fact that the U. N. ad-
vance had been halted in its
tracks just when the Reds were
being driven back in confusion
along the front" and that a major
unit had been taken back to Japan
was new.
The officer said he had been
handed the statement" to be
read, but he refused to disclose
who it was that handed him the
paper.
Labeled as Comment.
Mr.. Fritchey said, amid in
creasing and not unexpected talk,
that Congress was likely to take a
vivid interest in what had been
pictured as treachery under the
white flag.
1T was simply an officer giving
advice to reporters and should be
judged only as comment"
| The whole affair thus assumed
| the proportions of a snafu of
large-scale proportions-but at
lease the military had gotten
across to the public that the Reds
had built up their forces while
the U. N, acting in good faith, "
had actually withdrawn some of
theirs

ready in effect, but to ban addi-
Itional beef cutbacks. Prices for
other farm items could be rolled
back to 80 per cent of the May
10, 1851, level or to parity, which,
ever is higher.
The bill also would require
ceilings to be fixed at a level as
surfing retailers and wholesalers
their customary percentage
margins over costs"
Wages-Present law: Generally
prohibits wages from being frozen
at less than they were during the
May 24-June "a, 1850. period.
Under the law, the Wage Stabili-
cation Board has worked out
formulas permitting some wage
increases - thawing a. general
freeze imposed last January at the
same time prices were frozen.
The President requested: No
change in the basic provisions.
The new bill: Goes along with
that request.
| Beef slaughtering quotas-The
present law: Permits them. The
President requested: They be
kept in effect. The new bill:
Bans them.
Rent Control Setup.
Rent controls - Present law:
Provides for continuance of Fed
eral rent controls in areas desir-
ing control or not ending it by
local action.
The President requested: Ex-
tension of controls to business
places; also broad recontrol pow
ers and authority to bring new
areas under the residential pro-
gram; no rent increases.
The new bill: Contains no COM
mercial rent provision; permits
residential rent increases up to 20
per cent over levels of June. 1947,
in areas now controlled. Increases
granted since then would have to
be subtracted from the 20 per
cent. The bill permits rent roll
backs to levels which prevailed
just before Korea in the case of
newly designated critical defense
areas; authorizes the Secretary of
Defense and the mobilization direc-
tor to designate critical areas.
Whenever an area is declared
critical, the Government would be
required to relax construction
credit curbs on new housing. The
President is authorized to deter
mine to what extent they should
be relaxed. State or local govern
ments could still decontrol or ask
for recontrol. Federal controls
could not be imposed in any State
or local community that has it's
own rent law unless rents in the
State or community rose more
rapidly than the national average
increase.
The bill also reviseS the anti
eviction provisions by giving the
tenant or Federal Government the
right to sue landlords for treble
damages.
Consumer Credit Curbs.
Consumer credit controls
Present law: Consumer credit is
controlled by the Federal Reserve
Board through regulation wv"
which generally limits installment
buying terms.
The President requested: Con-
tination of the authority.
New bill: Requires the Reserve
Board OF allow ID months for pay
ments on new and used auto
mobiles, as compared with Is at
present. No change in the one
third down requirement. Would
lallow is per cent down payment
and 10 months to pay balance on
