The commission wants author
Iity to appoint new Federal en-
Iployes In pay steps above the min
imum entrance salary of a par
ticular grade in those jobs where
1T is difficult to recruit new work
Iers. The commission says that
unless this is done, it won't be
able to meet competitive bidding
by private industry for the serv-
ices OF these workers.
The placing of crafts and
trades maintenance employees un-
der wage boards would mean SAL
airy increases for most of them,
since their salaries would be ad-
Ijusted to the generally higher pay
scales given comparable workers
in private industry.
The personnel authority decen-
tralization proposal would give
agencies a free hand in examin-
ing and selecting employees, but
the commission still would set the
job standards and would have
heavy policing authority to see to
1t that the merit system princi-
pies are not violated.
Significantly enough, Mr.. Ram
speck said nothing about the
necessity of increasing the an
nuities Of retired Government en-
Iployes. He is strongly opposed to
such a move. However, despite
the commissions opposition, the
Senate Civil Service Committee
plans to take favorable action on
such legislation soon after Con-
gress reconvenes.

Apartment Buildings
For Adams Mill Road
Approved by zoners
The District zoning Commission

The District Zoning Commission
today approved a compromise plan
for apartment construction on the
west side of Adams Mill road be-
tween Calvert street and the Zoo
Under the zoning granted, eight
story apartments may be built on
the basis of SIS per cent lot oc-
cupancy. This is permitted
through dedication Of a 10-foot
strip to widen Adams Mill road tc
ITO feet.
The Commission denied a pro-
posal to rezone property along the
south side of M street between
Twenty-ninth and Thirty-fourth
streets NV. from first to second
commercial.
Other Action Deferred.
It deferred action for further
study on the proposal to allow
apartment construction adjoining
Woodley. on the west side o1
Twenty-ninth street between
Cleveland avenue and Garfield
street.
Last July the commission had re-
zoned the Adams Mill road prop
erty to permit eight-story apart
ment construction with a rs per
cent lot coverage.
On request Of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. however. the case was
reconsidered. The Planning Com
mission wanted the property
changed back to the restriction
for five-story buildings with a
maximum Of so per cent lot
coverage.
Higher Buildings Permitted.
The type Of zoning granted to-
day normally would permit five
stories with a IS per cent lot
coverage, but dedication of the
roadway strip permits higher
construction with a reduced lot
occupancy.
The commission ordered stricken

Democratic Purge Plea

The Prince Georges County COM
missioners are standing firm
against demands that they fire
more Democratic officeholders and
replace Thomas E. Latimer as
board president.
The demands were contained in
two resolutions presented to the
all Republican commissioners in a
knock down -and-drag-out session
in Upper Marlboro yesterday by
Edwin A. Glenn, president of the
County Republican Club. Mr.
Glenn was supported by Marvin
S. Baltimore of the COP State
Central Committee.
The commissioners took no ac-
ton on either resolution but the
majority made it clear they do
not intend to comply with them.
Both the senior Republican Club
and the Young Republican Club
had asked for firing Democrats
and replacement with Republicans.
Only the senior club sought to re-
place Mr.. Latimer from his $780,

CJA Seeking Payment Of

Harry Gilberg, chairman, and

secure payments on outstanding

Unless the pledges are translat-
ed into cash not only will the COM

which depend on this local sup
port, but local agencies will also

Unpaid pledges for 1949 stand
at $1263; for 1850, $9532. The sum
of $45, 900 remains to be collected
this year, reports Gilberg.
Pledges are an obligation which
cannot be taken lightly and which
have a priority claim on the giver
to meet. Cash is needed for the I'M

The Week in Religion

Just year ago, the Communist
government in Peiping published
a manifesto, said to have been
drafted and signed by 40 we'll
known Chinese Christian leaders,
proclaiming self government,
self support and self-propagation"
as the aim of churches and other
religious institutions. The mani
festo pledged support to the gov
ernment's program and the re-
moval of Chinese Christianity
from American and other foreign
missionary imperialism"
At the time, some Christian
leaders and foreign mission execu-
tives were optimistic that the
conversion of their work into a
completely native enterprise could
be accomplished gradually and
peacefully.
Pressure Stepped Up.
However, in the intervening IL
months, the Mao Tse-tung re-
gime has steadily stepped up its
pressure to the point of a full
scale religious persecution aimed
at absolute Communist domina-
ton of Christian Churches.

Mission properties throughout
the country belonging to Roman

have been seized.

olic missionary orders have shared
the fate of the bishops. Nuns
connected with orphanages OF
hospitals have been arrested or ex-
PEELED on charges of "crimina,
mortality" because Of the high
rate of deaths among abandoned
babies they rescued from the

clergy have been detained in some

Church authorities have denied
however. that any members of the
clergy support the movement.
Pr0testants Under Pressure.
Chinese Protestants likewise
have been under heavy govern
ment pressure to break off all ties
with foreign churches and mis-
sionary groups.
The latest development in this
