mobilization agencies such as Ma
tional Production Authority, Civil
Defense Administration and the
Economic Sterilization Agency
which contend that their func-
tions are just as important as the
Defense Departments.
These agencies assert that the
Defense Department has no right
to try and prevent its employees
from transferring to one of the
control units if an employe is spe-
cially suited for this latter type OF
job.
The control agencies declare
that the Government should not
seek to impose job freezes" on its
own employees unless this is done
in private industry, and they
point out that this has not yet oc-
CURED in industry.
The Defense Department con-
tends that, unless freeze order is
established, it will lose valuable
employees, to the detriment of the
defense program.
In rebuttal, the control agencies
propose that some sort of limi-
tation on promotions in trans
fers-such as only a one grade
promotion-would be enough Of
a brake to insure against mass
transfers from the defense
But they are adamant
in their stand that they're en-
titled to recruit employees from
the defense agencies if they find
that they have special talents
that the economic and mobiliza-
ton agencies can use.
Meanwhile, the problem is be-
ing studied by the commission.
The commission is trying to work
out some sort of compromise that
will appease both groups and yet
avoid imposing an absolute
freeze" on job transfers.

Prince Judge
Warns Grand Jury 10
Guard Against Crime

A Prince Georges grand jury
today was told by the court that
it constitutes the 'Kefauver Com
mittee" for the county.
In charging the 23-person jury
at Upper Marlboro, Judge John B.
Gray. jr., declared it has a very
great responsibility in exercising
its duties.
Judge Gray, in mentioning the
Kefauver Committee, asserted:
Doubtless many of you were
shocked and Mortified at the DEM
onstration in those hearings that
in many parts of this country
there has been definite connection
between gangsters and racketeers
on one side and law enforcement
officials and political leaders on
the other"
Gambling Is Acknowledged.
Declaring that the situation
presents pretty sorry picture"
Judge Gray expressed the hope
there has been nothing of that
sort in Prince Georges County.
Certainly there has been wide
spread gambling in Prince Georges
County, but to what extent it is
linked up to the Nationwide
crime syndicate, this court has no
way Of knowing" Judge Gray said.
"The court points out that in
order for unlawful gambling to
flourish, it has been found rather
essential that the crime be highly
organized"
The judge said that means cor
ruption of public Office holders or
bribery, or both.
Jury Must Be Diligent.
Then Judge Gray declared fatty,
"the court knows of no such in
stances in this county"
He went on to say that the only
way to guard against such things,
however, is for the grand jury to
be diligent in it's inquiries.
Comparing the local body with
the Senate Crime Committee,
Judge Gray asserted there are
two important differences.
Your proceedings will not be
conducted under the glare of tele-
vision lights or in front of motion
picture cameras" he said. "The
other important difference is that
you have the power and RESPONSE
bility to do something. -.
THE court commends to you
careful investigation of any such
underworld conditions"
Members Cautioned on Duty.
Judge Gray also told the jury
that it should inquire into the
matter Of good government in the
county. He said any recommended
tions the jury might make would
carry great deal of weight with
officials concerned.
But he cautioned that the jury's
work in that regard should be Of
a constructive character.
If the jury finds that an official
appears to be derelict, it should
determine if he has committed q
crime and if so, bring in an indict-
ment. On the other hand, if no
crime has been committed, the
official should not be held up to
scorn and ridicule, Judge Gray
said.
Foreman of the grand jury is
Ralph F. de Clairemont. Mitchells-
vile farmer. The jury is expected
to be in session for several weeks.
Under normal procedure. no in.
dictments will be returned until.

has decided his course for 1852,
but will not discuss his plans until
later.
In the Republican corner, as
politics got a workout over the

Senator Anderson. who headed
the National Committee for part
of the last congressional cam

M. Boyle was i'll, said:
II still think the President is
going to run again. 1t is my guess
the President will permit the
election of convention delegates
pledged to him.
Could Decide Later.
"Of course If he decides at that
time not to run again he could
thank the delegates and suggest
that they support some other
candidate"
Mr.. Stassen's comment on his
political ambitions came in a side
exchange on an American Forum

voted to his proposal for vastly
expanded Voice of America for

pendent of the State Department.
From the audience Representa-
tive Rogers. Democrat, of Flor

assertion that many Americans
would like to know the answer:
Now perhaps you do not feel
like answering it. but still it could
affect the future Voice of America
The question is this: Can you tell
us quite honestly whether or not
your political ambitions are dead. /"
