President Signs Bill Allowing
Mrs. Kosenkiino to Stay in u. S.

President Truman today signed
la bill to grant permanent resi-
dence in the United States to
Mrs. Oksana Kasenkina, the Rus
sian teacher who '1eaped to
freedom" from the Soviet Con-
Isulate in New York.
The bill, sponsored by Repre-:
sentative Coudert, New York Re-
publican, requires Mrs. Kasenkina
to pay visa charges and a head
Itax totaling $18. Upon making
the payment she will qualify for
permanent residence under the
Russian quota. ..,-.
The bill does not grant her
citizenship.
An International Issue.
Mrs. Kasenkina became liv-
ing symbol of the meaning of
freedom when she jumped from
the third floor of the Soviet con-
Isulate on August IL, 1948, rather
than return to Russia.
The seriously injured woman
was picked up from the concrete
courtyard. She was taken to
Roosevelt Hospital where no one
expected she would live through
the night.
But she survived and promptly

private employers allow their en-
ployes such time off without TAX
ing it out Of their regular vaca-
tion time.
2. The Governments salary
scale in many cases is below that
of private industry and a liberal
leave system offsets this to some
degree. AS a result, the Govern
ment has attracted many out
standing employees, particularly in
the scientific and professional
field. who otherwise would not
have accepted Federal positions.
3. If Government employees
leave benefits are placed on a par
with private industry, it would
pose the problem whether Federal
workers can be given some time
of as in private enterprise, for
personal business without being
charged leave for it. This would
pose countless headaches for su-

4. The Government should al
ways be the model employer and
set the standards for the rest of
the country. A liberal vacation
system should be the goal of all

ment, rather than reducing its
leave benefits for it's employees,
should set the example for private

Confer in Singapore
On Asiatic Defense
BY the A..oeio,ed Pres.

SINGAPORE. May 14.-Top
British, American and French mill
itary officers gathered in Singa-
pore today for high level talks on
the common defense Of Southeast
Asia against any Communist on
slauglt.
The discussions, termed "of
great Importance" by a high Brit
ish source, will be held tomorrow
and Wednesday in the well-walled
seclusion of Bukit Serene, the
palatial official residence Of NAL
colin Macdonald, British high
commissioner for Southeast Asia.
1t was doubtful that any state
ment telling of any major military
policy would be made at their con-
clusion. It was stressed the dis
cussions will be strictly military in
nature-not concerned with the
formation of a Pacific pact or
other political matters.
Commanders Attending.
Attending the discussions will
be:
British-Gen. Sir John Hard
ing, commander in chief, Far East
land forces: Admiral Sir Guy Rus
sell, commander in chief, Far East
Naval Station, and Air Marshal
Sir Francis Fogarty, commander
in chief, Far East Air Forces.
French-Gen. Jean de Lattre
de TaSsigny, commander in chief
OF French forces in Indo-china
and high commissioner there;
Gen. Fay, chief of staff of the
French air force, who came here
from Paris via Saigon, Vice Ad-
miral Ortoh, French naval COM
mander in chief in Indo- China,
and Lit. Gen. Pelissier, air officer
commanding in Indo- China.
United States - Vice Admiral
Arthur D. Struble, commander
1st Fleet and former commander
OF the 7th Fleet in Korean and
Formosan waters during the early
months of the Korean fighting :,
and Brig. Gen. Francis G. Brink,
chief of the United States military
aid and advisory group in Saigon.
All were accompanied by aides
and advisers.
Struble Refuses Comment.
Admiral Struble arrived late
today by Navy transport plane
from San Diego, Calf, and Ma
Mia. He said he had nothing
to say about the coming talks.
Gen. de Lattre reached Singa-
pore yesterday and was joined to-
day by the rest of the French
contingent.
The suddenly developed mill
tary parley started a crop of
rumors of varied natures in Singa-
pore circles ranging from talk
Of a Pacific pact to establish
ment Of United States air bases
at strategic points in Southeast
Asia. Highly placed sources said
these were pure speculation, how
eve.
One qualified spokesman said
the situation in Southeast Asia
had eased in recent months. It
was clear. however, that the con-
ference would take up plans for
defense of the area should the
Chinese Communists unleash an
attack in force { against Indo-
China, Thailand or Burma.

j APPROVES-An important Civil
Service Commission official, who
for obvious reasons prefers to re-
main anonymous, says he ap-
proves of the Jensen amendment
to reduce Government employ
ment by limiting non-defense
agencies to filling only Is per cent
of all job vacancies caused by
normal personnel turnover.
II used to feel that such riders
were unscientific and therefore
were bad, but I have changed my
mind" the official said. Its the
only way to cut employment. II
you wait for the agencies to take
the initiative, you'll never get
anywhere.
"The beauty of the Jensen
amendment is that it would re-
duce employment without caus-
ing the dismissal of present Gov
eminent employees. While the Is
per cent limitation in filing
vacancies may be a bit too re-
strictive. it certainly is a step in
the right direction"
This official. incidentally, is
definitely in the minority as far
as the rest of his colleagues are
concerned. They shudder at the
mention of the Jensen rider.
