U. Of Virginia Aide
Charges WhiteWash'
In Leftist Probe
BY the Associated Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Aug.
28.-Dr. Homer G. Richey, asso-
ciate professor of foreign affairs
at the University of Virginia, to-
day termed the report of fac
ulty committee investigating his
charges of left-wing teachings in
the Woodrow Wilson School Of
Foreign Affairs complete white
wash"
"The faculty committee report
was such complete whitewash
and so manifestly biased that
had no difficulty in demonstrating
bias in my answer to this report,
submitted to the board of visi-
tors" DR.. Richey said.
The University of Virginia's
Board of Visitors is conducting a
second investigation into DR..
Richey's charges that three Of
his colleagues veered toward the
"left" in their teachings. The
three colleagues already have been
given clean bill of health by
the faculty committee.
Committee Questioned.
DR.. Richey further charged that
the committee was not qualified
to investigate or to pass on such
questions.
He said he had charged among
other things that instruction in
the school was degenerating into
"a glorified course in current events
and that the aim of the school
seemed to be to indoctrinate rath-
er than educate.
DR.. Richey made his charge
against DR.. John Gange, director
of the School of Foreign Affairs.
and two of his associates, Alfred
Fernbach and Charles Micaud.
None of the three was available
for immediate comment. DR.. Gange
IS en- route to San Francisco to
attend the Japanese treaty con-
ference and Mr.. Fernbach and Mr..
Micaud are in Europe. Colgate
w. Darden, jr.. university presi-
dent. is reported motoring through
Canada.
However, Barron Black, rector
of the Board of Visitors, said DR..
Gange had appeared before the
board and vigorously denied the
charge"
Personal Differences Claimed.
In Lynchburg, Richard A. Car
rington, a member of the board,
labeled it matter of strong per-
sonal differences between individ-
uals." He said it "does not con-
cern basic ideas as much as per-
sonal feelings"
MIR. Darlington said "the matter
has been going on for some IL
months"
A spokesman for the university
said DR.. Richey was informed last
lwanter that his contract would
mot be renewed at the end of the
1951-52 academic year.
The uniyersity's Board of Wis
Eitors has a regular meeting sched-
Iuled for September IA at Char
lottesville. Mr. Black said the
meeting was not called specifically
to deal with the Richey charges,
but the subject might be dis
cussed. f.

Dispute Over Limits
On Trade With Reds
Holds Up Aid Bill
By J. A. o'Leoy

A fight over how far the United
States should go in trying to block
trade. between its allies and the
Iron Curtain area threatens fur
ther Senate delay of action on the
SIS billion foreign aid bill.
Administration forces will try
again today to pass the House
approved Battle bill, which would
cut of American aid to any coun-
try shipping arms or atomic ma
terials to a Communist nation.
but vest in the President some
discretion to permit trade in other
strategic materials.
Senator KEN. Republican, Of
Missouri. is holding out for sub
stitute with more teeth in it. A
test vote last night, indicated the
decision as between the two plans
might be close.
Made Today's Business.
After 8 hours of wrangling over
the issue yesterday, the Senate
voted 80 to 90 to make the House
bill the order of business today.
The oratory yesterday was over
whether to take it up.
Both plans seek to stop the flow
of war implements to Communist
governments, but the opposing
factions disagree over the wisdom
of allowing basic materials, such
as coal, oil and rubber, to move
in East-West trade.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
OF Alabama, in charge of the ad-
nlinistl ion-bscked discretionary
bill. said some of the Western ma
tions rely heavily on coal from
Communist areas and must trade
to get it. The Alabaman warned
that those countries would turn
hostile eyes on the United States
if they had to choose between a
fuel shortage and loss of United
States military and economic aid.
Heated Words Exchanged.
Tempers flared late yesterday
when Senator KEN asked Senator
Sparkman if he was not showing
"a blind spct" toward trading with
Communist areas while "Ameri-
can boys are dying in Korea"
The usually mild-mannered
Alabaman called Senator Kem'S
question "demagoguery," and ac-
cused the Missourian of playing
ION the heart strings of soldiers
families. He said nothing in the
House bill would justify the sug-
gestion in the question.
Senator Ken has the support of
Republican Floor Leader Wherry
of Nebraska and of Senator Byrd,
Democrat, of Virginia, in his fight
for a more binding law. Senator
Malone, Republican, of Nevada,
also spoke at length for the KEN
substitute.
Wherry Points to India.
Senator Wherry told the Senate
last night India's refusal to at
tend the San Francisco Confer
ence on a japanese treaty next
week shows that American aid
does not necessarily win friends
for this country. He cited recent
passage by Congress of a $3.50
million loan bill to enable India
to buy 2 million tons of grain in
this country to avert famine.
How much good did it do us
to give India this wheat?" asked
Senator Wherry. "We got COM
plete turn-down when we might
have used some help"
The showdown today may come
on a move by Senator KEN to
send the trade-control bill back
to the Foreign Relations Com
mittee for further study. If It.
is not settled first as separate
issue, the trade question may be
raised again in an amendment to
the Foreign Aid authorization
measure.

other than the

Evening star., 1951-08-28

as one employe leader said:
THE very fact that a committee
of Congress is holding hearings on
the bill is very encouraging. The
changes proposed in the bill don't
happen overnight, and you can't
sell the idea to Congress in one
year. But we've made a start and
eventually will be successful.
Employe leaders charge there is
too much favoritism and politics
in making promotions and that the
holding of examinations among
employees is the only way to get
the best possible people for the
better positions in Government.
Among those who testified in
favor of the bill were Roy Hall
beck, legislative representative of
the AFL National Federation of
Post Of1ce Clerks; William C.
Doherty, president of the AFL Ma
tional Association of Aetters Car
riers, and Jesse Horton, legisla-
tive representative Of the AFL Ma
tional Association of Postal Super
visors. The Administration op-
posed the bill, declaring it would
slow up Government operation
and, in the long run. wouldn't ac-
complish any benefits.
PAY-Confidence that Congress
this year will vote a pay raise for
Government employees was voiced
today by Thomas Walters, opera
tions director of the AFL Govern
ment Employees Council. which
represents "a unions, with a Gov
ernment worker membership of
more than 100000.
There have been some fears ex-
pressed in Government circles over
the time element involved in get
ting Congress to vote a Federal
pay raise before adjourning for
the year, and there also have been
reports that key administration
leaders in Congress are not too
keen about the legislation.
Mr.. Walters, however, said he
and the various Government en-
ploye groups represented in the
council are confident Congress
will approve Federal pay boost
this year. 4
We've held long conversations
with top leaders in Congress, and
from what they tell us. We are per-
fectly satisfied that Government
salary increase will be approved
this year," Mr.. Walters declared.
There's no doubt that an over
whelming majority of the members
of Congress favor a Federal pay
increase. And the leadership. in
Congress mas promised to schedule
the legislation for action before
Congress goes home"

ECONOMY CUTS-MoSt major
Government departments and

S per cent below-budget cut or

one -four vacancy filling ban,
without having to dismiss very
many employees.
The Defense Department, as
well as other key defense and
emergency units in Government,
are exempt from any personnel
cut provisions. Likewise. the Treas
ury and Post Office Departments
are exempted.
Interior may have to lop of

can be achieved by not filling
vacancies.
The Agriculture Department

positions, but the large majority
of this reduction can also be made
through not filling vacancies.
