colleagues: How often have you
found the telephone lines busy
when you attempted to call the
Pentagon on business during the
working hours of the day, even
though the building is equipped
with the largest telephone switch
board in the world?"
Mr.. SABBATH asserted that there
appears to be no supervision or
control whatever over this laxity
in work hours or personal calls
made on Government time, over
Government facilities, at time
when our agencies are supposed
to be straining their utmost in the
defense effort"
Mr.. Sabath's remarks have
special significance, since he is one
of the outstanding liberal mem
berS of Congress a staunch admin
istration supporter and has always
been a strong friend of Govern
ment employees. It's true that he
made the speech partly in an ef-
fort to show that Republican
businessmen now hold key execu-
tive jobs in the Defense Depart
ment and should be held respon-
sible for the conditions which he
described to the House, but the
fact remains that the attack was
aimed specifically at Federal en-
ployes in the Pentagon.
The SABBATH speech represents
a definite feeling in Congress,
among Democrats and Repub-
licans alike, that Federal hiring
is proceeding at too fast a pace
and that lot of jobs could be
eliminated without hurting the
defense program.
Mr.. SABBATH did not say where
he received his information re-
gardlng the practice of personal
phone calls, nor how many of the
employees observed shopping were
actually doing it on Government
time. Regarding shopping, many
Pentagon employees say that they
shop on their own time, pointing
out that they use annual leave or
their lunch hour to shop.
AS reported here last week,
there also is considerable criticism
in Congress that some of the
employees working overtime on
Saturdays in the defense and
other mobilization agencies have
nothing to do and are 'loafng"
on the job.
PAY-Most of the Federal en-
ploye groups privately say they
are willing to settle for a 10 per
cent Government pay raise if they
can get it. Publicly, they're still
sticking to their demands for
II to 20 per cent pay boost.
Indications are that If Congress
does approve a Federal pay in
crease. the overall amount will
average about per cent at best.
CON GRE SIONAL PAY
Meanwhile, members of Con-
gress are discussing ways OF in
creasing their own salaries. The
biggest deterrent is the fear of
what their constituents would
think.
NOT MUCH M0VING-Top
Government officials are privately
predicting that the much -heralded
decentralization and dispersal
programs will amount to very lit
tie, at least for the foreseeable
future. The sentiment against
dispersal and decentralization
seems to be growing daily in Con-
gress. And the Budget Bureau is
also losing some of its enthusi-
asm for the programs.

poor health. He was persuaded
to reconsider after the lower house
of parliament turned down Khalil
Fahimi. named temporary Pre-
mier following the assassination
Wednesday of Premier Ali Raz-
mara by a religious fanatic.
Mr.. Ala will need a strong hand
to cope with the complex internal
problems facing Iran.
Main domestic issues are the
naturalization of oil, chiefly the
giant, half-British owned Anglo
Iranian Oil Co.; bettering the
woeful economic condition oi
the people and restoring conf
dence in law and order which was
badly shaken with Gen. Raz.
mara's assassination.
Lineup With West Expected.
Many parliament deputies have
been reluctant to go on record
against oil naturalization since
the killing Of Gen. Raz,nara by 9
member Of the nationalist terror
organization Fayadan Isiam (cru-
saders of Islam).
Mr.. Ala is expected to line UP
with the West on international
issues. He has been outspoken in
his determination to prevent Iran
from being swallowed up by Soviet
Russia, her northern neighbor.
The new Premier has been serv-
ing as a court minister and chair
man of the special commission SET
up by the Shah to carry out a
program for distributing his royal
estates to the peasants.
Hussein Ala was Trans Ambas-
sador here from November, 1945,
until last May. He also served as
Minister to this country from 1921
to 1924.
In 1946 he shuttled between here
and New York. where he fought
before the United Nations Security
Council for removal of Soviet
troops from Iran. His success won
him international attention and
made him a national hero.
Educated in England, Mr.. Ala
began his diplomatic career as an
attache in London in 1902 and was
private secretary to his country's
foreign minister from 1906 to 1917.
In 1918 he was appointed to his
first cabinet post, as minister OF
public works. Subsequently, he
served as delegate to the Paris
Peace Conference, minister to
Spain, France and England, dele
gate to the League of Nations and
IN three other cabinet posts. He
was foreign minister briefly last
year after leaving Washington.
The new prime minister's wife
still is living here in Washington.
Their daughter, Miss Iran Ala, is
attending Byrn Mawr College,
where she will be graduated this
June, and Nine. Ala plans to
remain in this country at least
until then, an Embassy spokesman
said. A son. Fereydoun Ala, is a

Eisenhower Asserts
12U. ). Divisions Can
Hold Breton Peninsula
BY the Assoeioted Press

Gen. Eisenhower has told Sen
ators that IL American divisions
with sufficient air and sea sup
port - could hold the Breton
peninsula of France against any
Russian attack.
In confidential testimony given
to Senate committees February /,
the North Atlantic pact COM
mander expressed confidence that
"our $50 million enlightened peo-
pie can still whip 100 million
backward people" in Russia if war
comes.
Asserting that the men in the
Kremlin like their jobs" Gen.
Eisenhower said that If the Soviet
leaders declare war now they are
really fools"
Sees no Quick Knockout.
"They cannot win on the sloba]
picture instantly and quickly by
q complete Knockout" he said.
Therefore, we do face q long
bitter struggle of attrition against
the United States and this $50
million people-when they are
united under such an attacks
still the most powerful thing on
this earth under the Alnighty
himself"
The f1ve-star general told men,
berS OF the Senate Foreign Rela-
tlons and Armed Services Com
mitees that the decision on whetn-
er to use the atomic bomb would
have to be made on the basis of
whether its military value out
weighs the moral disadvantages.
II / thought the net was on
my SIDE" he said, IT would use
1t instantly"
Fulbright Favors Care.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas said he thought that
the United States ought never to
say that it won't use the A-bomb
first. He argued that this coun-
try ought to maintain the posi-
tion that it might use the bomb
through a satellite.
Gen. Eisenhower said that if
Russia seemed about to get con-
troll of Western Europe, this
country would have to use every
thing IF it means every atom
bomb in your stockpile.
Urging the committees to ap-
prove sending additional United
States divisions to Europe, Gen.
Eisenhower said, so long as YOU
have a few troops Tin Europe) +
would shake with respect to their
safety in case We got in trouble,
You give me a small army of a
dozen divisions. for example, and
there is no Russian army in the
world-short of some catastrophe
I couldn't possibly foresee-that
could destroy them before we could
do something about it," he de-
clared.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia asked what Gen. Eisen-
hover meant.
Means Holding Operation.
'Evacuate them or go back to a
place where they were safe" the
general replied, adding:
"F'or example, you could put
dozen American divisions in the
Breton Peninsula, where they can
be covered by our own sea and air
power, and the Russians couldn't
touch them to save their souls"
Gen Eisenhower said, however,
that If the forces were spread on
wide perimeter, air power could
not be concentrated at any single
point.
He made it clear that his goal
is defensive force to hold Eu-
rope and not one that could
threaten attack on Russia.
These forces, when they get
strong enough, let us say. to hold
the line at the Rhine or the Elbe-
picking the line You want-still
have no more power of threaten
ing the Soviet Union" he said.

try Almanack" and il was printed
in German. From 1893 to 1918 the
publication appeared in both Ger
man and English and until shortly
before his death, in 1857, Gruber did
both the editing and typesetting.
The style and general formal of
the Almanac has changed little in
fourteen decades; old style woodcuts
are still used It's "conjectures of the
weather" for each month-which
have proved about so per cent ac-
curate through the years-have been
used by generations Of farmers in
many States. There is always a
Large Multiplication Table" and
rhyme that lists the presidents. A
century ago the Almanac contained
essays on Female Virtue and Pur-
suits" 'FaithIess Husbands" and
similar popular topics; later issues
gave scientific advice on farm prob
lens. The average annual circula-
ton is approximately 100000.
1t is said that William T. Hamil-
ton, while he was Governor of Mary
land, always consulted the Almanac
before setting the date for a hang
ing, in an attempt to insure good
weather for the popular event.
The original printing office, torn
down years ago, stood on North
Potomac Street. Mr. Gruber is
buried in the graveyard back OF
Zion Reformed Church.

| wonder how many Of you realize
that "The Paint-Up Cleanup Cam
paign,' so successfully carried out
here each year by the Junior Cham
Der Of Commerce, actually had its
start in our community back in 1882.
In that year one of the most serious
calamities in the history of the city
was an outbreak of Asiatic cholora.
The disease had been brought
from Europe, largely by immigrants
coming TO take up lands in the east,
and it spread far inland along inn
portant travel routes. Medical
science Of that day was ignorant of
the cause of the disease and the
manner of its transmission, but Will
liam ID. Bell, the HaRerstown mod
orator, saw a connection between
the disease and filth and instituted
a vigorous cleanup campaign in the
town Householders we're exhorted
to tidy-up cellars, yards, cutters,
and vacant lots, and Bells inspec-
tors ranged everywhere to see that
the orders were carried out. How
much this activity helped to check
the spread of the epidemic can only
be surmsed, but Bells theory was
sound.

And speaking of Zion Reformed
Church North Potomac at Church
STREET., of which DR.. r. Scott Wag-
ner is pastor, it is interesting to
note that il was built in l774 as the
German Reformed Church; success
sive alterations have greatly
changed its early appearance. While
dressing logs for this early church,
Jonathan Hager, founder of Hagers-
town, was accidentally killed in his
sawmill. The present gray lime
stone building has tall narrow win
dows and square tower with an
open belfry. During the Civil War
General George Custer one day
climbed to the bell tower to take OBJ
servations. Suddenly, becoming a
mark for sharpshooters, he aban-
doned his position with more haste
than dignity.
Also buried in the graveyard of
the church are Jonathan Hager and
Peter Humrichouse, who by his
timely dash from Philadelphia sup
piled Washington's troops with
much needed ammunition for the
siege Of Yorktown.
