COMMERCE The Commerce
Department is a good example oi
how q Government department. OF
agency can achieve a more ef-
ficient and productive personnel
system, If the head of the organi-
Zation interests himself in per-
sonnel problems.
All too many department and
agency heads are Indifferent to-
ward their personnel setup, with
the result that the work of Their
organization suffers badly.
However, Commerce Secretary
Sawyer has taken an active in
terest in improving Commerce. 's
personnel system. with encourag-
ing results. Mr.. Sawyer's example
has prompted Commerce officials
all along the line to improve per-
sonnel activities. incidentally, a
lot of credit also belongs to Clar-
lence H. Osthagen, Assistant Sec
retary Of Commerce for Manage
ment. who was appointed to the
job several months ago and who
has proved a strong aid to Mr.
Sawyer in improving the depart
ment's personnel setup.

Judge Steinbrink Hits
ID. {. Lack Of Progress
In Ending Segregation

Washington was blasted last
night for its lack Of progress in
eliminating racial discrimination.
Judge Meier Steinbrink. ma
tional chairman of the Anti
Defamation League of B'nai
Birth. issued the criticism and
called for appointment of an Of
flcial commission on human rela-
|tions here.
This unit, he stated in a willard
Hotel interview, should provide
an agency "for continuous re-
search and recommendation to-
wards the elimination Of the evil
Iof enforced segregation and dis
elimination"
On National Tour.
The former justice of the New
York Supreme Court is on a ma
tional tour in connection with
|B'nai Birth right against big
Iotry. He was a member Of the Ma
tional Committee on Segregation
in the Nations Capital.
Judge Steinbrink said he was
"disheartened to have to report.
more than two years ago. the
shameful denials Of democracy in
the Nations Capital"
IT am even more disheartened
today to find how very little has
been done toward erasing that
blot on our national standard"
he added.
The conference was enlivened
by the appearance of Upton Close,
a radio commentator.
Mr.. Close told Judge Steinbrink
that he had made several attempts
to see him in New York. but had
been "rudely refused" He said
he was being bounded by the
league.
Voices Are Raised.
Judge Steinbrink said he would
be delighted to see Mr.. Close and
explain why we have felt the way
we have toward some Of your
writings"
Herman Edelsberg. head Of the
Washington office Of the Anti
Defamation League. shouted to
Mr.. Close:
"You barged into press con-
ference. Don't make phony
charges"
Judge Steinbrink said he had q
reliable secretary who never re-
ported that Mr.. Close tried to see
him and Mr.. Close roared. Don't
call me a liar"
The argument continued for
some time, with Mr.. Edelsberg
calling Mr.. Close a victim of his
own record as a commentator"
and speaking of Mr.. Closes racial
and isolation position"
Later Mr.. Close said the league
had "stigmatized me as anti
Semitic" Mr.. Edelsberg said hs
felt Mr.. Close came to the confer
ence deliberately to cause a con.
troversy and draw attention from
the real purpose for which it
WAS held

hit by the leave rider. since many
employees can't be spared for the
full vacation time.
1t has also reacted unfairly
against the employees. since many
Iof them are in danger Of having
to forfeit some Of the leave com.
ing to them. unless they take it BY
June 80.
The bill to repeal this rider Is
sponsored by Representative Mil
ler, Democrat, of California, ont
of the top members Of the House
Civil Service Committee. '4
The picture is not so bright fol
another aspect of the leave situa-
tion. The strong House economy
bloc, dominated by Republicans
and Southern Democrats, plans te
seek showdown soon on the drive
to cut the present 26. days annual
leave to 20 days for the duration

test will probably occur on one

Civil Service Commission has ad-
Ivised Congress that legislation is
needed to correct the present sit.
uation whereby new postal en-
Iployes are denied any sick ano

fits.
Meanwhile, the Post Office De-
partment shows no inclination
to make a formal request to Con-
gress that this be done. How
ever, despite the department
strange attitude toward it's own
employees. it is expected that sey-
eral members Of Congress will

The Civil Service Commission has

Veterans Preference. Act be

What the commission proposes

retention rights. but that those
veterans with less than that many

able to bump non-veterans with

u. 5. Backs Japan
In Claim 10 Islands
Seized by Russia
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, Mar. 1.-The Japanese
were cheered today by news that
the United States would support
their claims to a tiny group of
islands off the northeast coast of
Japan. *
The isles-the Habomai group
have been controlled by Russia
since the end of World War II.
Special Ambassador John Fos-
ter Dulles told Washington
news conference yesterday the
Russian seizure of the isles was
improper.
At the same time Mr.. Dulles
said the United States might re-
fuse to recognize Russian control
of the Kurile Islands and the
southern half of Sakhalin Island,
both formerly part Of Japan's
empire, unless the Soviet joins in
concluding a peace treaty with
Japan.
The Dulles announcement was
the first indication that the jap
anese might get powerful support
in their claims to regain the ter
ritory lost at the end of the war.
1t was not clear, however, whether
the United States will go beyond
withholding formal recognition of
the already accomplished Russian
control over the Kuriles and SAX
halin.
The Soviet Union would hardly
be expected to relinquish its con-
troll under United States pressure
short of actual or threatened con-
f1ict.
The Big Three-United States,
Britain and Russia-agreed at
Yalta early in 1945 that the
Kuriles and southern Sakhalin
should be handed over to Russia.
Later, at Potsdam, the United
States, China and Britain agreed
to limit Japanese sovereignty to
the four main islands land such
minor islands as we determine ;"
