giving for failure to carry Marshal

Senate Group Weighs
Plea 10 Modify Rider
In Civil Service Bill
By Joseph Young

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today had under adj
visement a strong plea by Chair
man Johnston Of the Senate Civil
Service Committee that it modify
the House-approved Written rider
that severely curbs promotional
opportunities in Government.
Senator Johnston appeared be-
fore the Appropriations COMMITTEES
yesterday, declaring that the
Written rider, "as presently
worded, contains unfair restric-
lions on the promotions Of Federal
employees who have prepared
themselves and are qualified for
promotions. -"
The South Carolinian also said
the amendmnet would be difficult
to administer.
Would Waive One Year Rule.
Senator Johnston did not ask
that the ban on permanent pro-
motions and transfers be changed.
but he did urge modification Of
the Written riders provisions that
would require employees to remain
in their present grade for at least
a year before they became eligible
for even temporary promotions. He
also asked modification of the
clause that would bar more than
one grade promotions.
Senator johnson asked that the
|one-year restriction be waived
when an employee was within reach
for appointment to a>higher grade
position on a civil service register,
or when an employee was being adj
vanced to a higher grade from
which he had been previously
denoted or separated as O result
Of reduction in force.
Regarding the ban on more than
one-grade promotions, Senator
Johnston asked that multiple pro-
motions be allowed in the cases Of
professional, technical and scieu-
tific employees who have qualified
for the two-grade promotions
authorized under the civil service
classification act.
Asks Two Grade Promotions.
He also asked that two-grade
promotions be allowed to positions
not higher than GS-5 and in cases
where employees have completed
special training programs for
higher jobs conducted by the Civil
Service Commission.
The Senator also asked that
two-grade advancements be al
lowed in cases where there is no
other position in the normal
line OF promotions that is less
than a two-grade promotion.
Another proposal made by Sena-
tor Johnston was that permanent
employees who transfer from one
agency to another be allowed to
retain their permanent status
rights In the new agency at the
grade they held in their old bureau.
Also appearing before the Sem
ate Appropriations Committee
to urge modification of the Whit
ten rider were members OF the
AFL Government Employees Coun-
ell. representing Federal unions
with a membership Of more than
100000 Government workers.
Thomas Walters, the councils
operating director, told the COM
mittee the rider in its present
form would tie the hands Of the
Civil Service Commission and
Government agencies in filling
essential jobs in the National
emergency program.
Mr.. Walters also said it would
be most unfair" to present en-
Iployes. since most of the choice
Jobs in Government where vacan-
cies occur would go to outsiders.

CENSORSHIP - AND WHY

During World War II managed without 2 formal censorship of news in the accepted sense of the term But that possible only because informa- ton of value to the enemy withheld at the source and because newspapers and radio stations cooperateo willingly in voluntary censorship. We are again at war and substantially the same system prevails There is no censorship because information of value to the enemy is withheld by those in possession ot it.
 Some of the testimony that is being given before the two Senate committees is being withheld on this basis That is just as logical and necessary as it was during World War II to withhold information respect inq troop dispositions future operations plans and sailing dates and routes of conveys.
 The hearings could have been public, of course There was good argument for making them public. But if they had been conducted publicly, neither General MacArthur nor Secretary Marshall could

Too Many Vodkas?

The diplomatic significance can only be guessed, but Soviet military Counselor Nikolai Vladykin dropped a Korean peace hint at Washing ton Embassy party the other eve ming.
 The No. man in the Soviet En- basy was chatting amiahly with an American, who asks that his name not be used. But as the sub- jest got around to the Korean war, Vladykin commented that it was "Yery bad" He admitted that the destruction in Korea was even worse than Russia suffered in World War II.
 There must be an end How can we end it?" asked the American.
 Tt seems to me that the terms can he arranged" remarked Vlady- kin knowingly.
 What would be the terms Of cease lire in Korea?" the American pressed.
 "The cease fire would have to be on the basis of a unifieation of the country replied Vladykin. Then he launched into a propagan- da speech about how Russia wan ted peace and how Russia was ec- chemically behind the West and needed peace to catch up.
 Ncte-Ihe Russians often use ip- formal and unofficial channels to drop diplomatic feelers to the State Department. However, there is no way of knowing whether Vladykin was dropping a peace hint, or had tco many yodkas.

Hidden Postal Grants

At present Airline Subsidies are hidden in the Postal Grants, pald out to the big airlines for carrying the mail. Pan American Alrways alone received $46000,000 in mall pay last year. However, the pubic has no idea how much was leg itimate charge for flying the mall and how much was pure gravy at the taxpavers expense. Figured on the basis of weight alone, the post office paid Pan American nearly four times above the passenger rate.
 The President has recommended separating the gravy frem the mall pay. and letting the Civil Aeronau- tics board pay whatever subsidy IS needed and the post office pay the legitimate mail costs. In defiant opposition, MT Trumans own com mittee proposes confldentlally : Both amounts. would continue to be presented in the budget or the post office department, and payment to the carriers administ- cred by that department"
 Truman also recommended against granting a special exemp- tion for the International Airlines. This has been pushed behind the scenes by Pan Am, so that ii the other airlines are forced to reveal their subsidies, Pan Am would still be exempt. However, the Presidents Air Coofdinating Committee ag- reed with Pan Am, instead of with the President, and proposed that, no matter what was done about Domestic Airline subsidies, the present methods of establishing and making mail payments to the U. s. Flag QnternationaD Carriers should be- unchanged"
 It would seem that the Presi- dents Aviation Coordinators are working for the hig airlines, not for the man who appointed them. Perhaps Del Rentzel, chairman of the committee, cant forget that he worked for American Airlines for l2 years and that Pan Ameri- can helped put him in his present post
