speech was misinterpreted. Mr..
Whitten says he certainly does not
expect Government workers to put
in extra hours without getting
additional pay.
NEW BIAS T-Mr. Whitten
also got into the news yesterday
with a new blast at the Civil
Service Commission for failing to
facilitate the transfer Of nom
defense agency workers to defense
agencies.
He told the House thousands of
patriotic" employees in non
defense offices would be more
than glad to transfer to defense
agencies, If they were assured of
unemployment rights to their old
jobs once the national emergency
is ended. The legislator intro
duced a resolution for a special
House committee to investigate
the situation.
CAFE T E RIA S-The Senate
Civil Service subcommittee in
vestigating food prices in Govern
ment cafeterias yesterday was
asked to draft legislation to place
the operation of all Federal eat
ing places under the Jurisdiction
of a new Government corporation
devoted solely to that purpose.
The request came from H. j.
Miller. public relations director of
the AFL American Federation of
Government Employees. Mr.. Miller
said food prices in cafeterias are
too high and that Federal en-
ployes can not afford to pay them.
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma, chairman, said the
subcommittee will hold further
hearings. During the day, the
operators of the various Govern
ment cafeterias were questioned
regarding the prices they charge.
The subcommittee Is studying a
comparison Of Federal cafeteria
prices and those in private res
taurantS.
LEAVE-Senator Case, Republi-
can, of South Dakota has spon-
sored a bill to reduce the 26 days
annual leave benefits of Govern
ment employees to Is. days for
the duration of the national
emergency. The bill is similar to
the one sponsored earlier this
week by Representative Vursell,
Republican, Of Illinois.

COLD SHOULDER-Congress is
giving the brush-on to the pleas
Of the Governments old-line de-
partments and agencies for action
to allow more appointments in the
$11 ,000-to-$14, ,000-a-year alaryI
brackets.
At present, the economic con-
troll and defense agencies have
authority to hire for these posi-
tions outside Of the 800 maximum
jobs set for these salaries by Con-
greSS.
Now, however, such depart
ments as Commerce, Interior and
others want to have the ceiling
lifted so additional appointments
may be made at the top salaries.
They say the jobs involved are
connected with national defense.
But Congress seems determined
not to lift the present ceiling.

Case Asks Amendment
TO LET D. {. Residents
Vote for President

Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, a freshman mem
ber of the Senate District Com
mittee, yesterday proposed the dis
franchised residents of the Dis
trict be given voice in the election
of the President.
He placed before the Senate a
proposed amendment to the Con-
stitution which would give the
District, Hawaii and Alaska one
vote each in the Electoral College,
which formally elects the presi-
dents. The proposal was referred
to the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee.
Under the Case plan, the
method by which a District mem
Der of the Electoral College would
be selected was left to later de-
cision by Congress.
Other Proposals Pending.
Senator Case reminded the
Senate that there were pending
legislative proposals to give the
District a non-voting delegate in
the House. In this connection, he
noted. that such proposals still
would not give the District any
voice in the election of a Presi-
dent.
He also called attention to pro-
posals that Alaska and Hawaii be
given full Statehood. He said,
Il happen to have voted for such
IA measure when I was a member
Iof the House but I recognize there
lis considerable doubt that either
of the territories will win State
hood in the immediate future"
Rights Championed.
1T has occurred to me-" he
continued, that granting the
territories and the District an op-
portunity to vote for President
with representation in the Elec-
toral College might command the
support of many members Of
Congress who oppose Statehood.

He was expelled for various

praying for the souls of four
Chinese Christians who had been
purged.
Terror prevails throughout the
towns and villages-"much worse
than in the large cities like Can

1000 executions. The purgine
started last September. First ii
was the guerrillas, saboteurs and
bandits. Now it's mostly land
lords"
The missionary said the Reds
land reform program had failed
to achieve the desired result in
his county and that after the land
was divided, half of it was left
over because there were not
enough poor peasants who quail
fed. The leftover land is being
worked by forced labor, he said

Push War on Crime
"a Wdo11AA15 cOAA, -. ~
TUESDAY, APRIL "a. 1881
By Miriam Gutenberg

The Senate Democratic Policy
Committee today called Chair
man Keauver of the Senate Crime
Investigating Committee into a
closed session to discuss a con-
tinuing war on the underworld
The fate of the crime investi-
eating group after its April 80
deadline is still unsettled although
both Democrats and Republicans
on the flve-man committee agree
it should be continued in some
form.
The Democrats on the COM
mittee want the job turned over
to a special Senate-House COM
mittee and Federal Crime
Commission appointed by the
President.
The two Republican members
Senators Tobey, of New Hamp-
shire, and Wiley. of Wisconsin,
hoped to get a vote today on their
resolution to continue the present
committee until next January Is
with an additional $150,0O0 ap-
preparation. The vote of a single
Senator, however, could block a
vote on their resolution under
unanimous consent procedure.
Prompt Decision Required.
Senator Kefauver said if the
work is to be continued in any
form, decision will have to be
made promptly in order to hold
together the committees staff.
The chairman has said repeat
edly that he did MT want to con-
tinue on the committee but he
spoke yesterday of the great pub
lie demand that the work of the
committee be continued in some
form or other
The form proposed in resolutions
introduced yesterday by the three
Democratic committee members
Senators Kefauver of Tennessee,
Hunt Of Wyoming and O'Conor of
Mafyland-would set up a joint
committee composed of five Sen
atorS appointed by the Vice Pres
ident and five Representatives ap-
pointed by the Speaker of the
House. 1t would be given up to
$150,000 and full investigative
powers and would be required to
report by June 80, 1852.
In addition to the crime watch
dog" committee. the Democratic
members proposed a three-mem-
ber commission to assist State and
local officials by supplying them
with information about the activi-
ties OF underworld characters.
The commission presumably
would serve as the clearing house
for information about interstate
criminal activities and would ulti-
mately inherit the vast files accu-
mulated by the Kefauver commit
tee-much of which has never
been made public. t
A permanent body, the commits
sion would be charged with CO.
ordinating the activities of Fed
eral law enforcement agencies in
relation to denying interstate IA
cilities to the criminal elements.
The three commission members,
who would be appointed by the
President with the approval OF
the. Senate for six-year terms,
would draw salaries of $4,000
year. They would be empowered
to hold hearings, take testimony
and swear witnesses.
Since the sensational public
hearings Of the Kefauver COM
mittee ended few weeks ago, the
committee and its staff have been
writing city-by- city report and
drawing up conclusions and rec
concentrations for new crime curb
legislation. This report is due by
next Monday.
