Army investigating
Reports Of Missing
Secret Documents

Army intelligence agents are in
veStigating reports OF missing "top
secret" documents in the Signal
Corps Intelligence agency, it was
revealed last night.
One Army source said an inven-
tory sometime ago revealed 54
classified documents were missing.
A later inventory torned up seven
of the documents, the source
revealed. Elsewhere, however, it
was reported that only IL of the
super-secret documents were miss
ing.
Although the Army said "inves-
tigators have been on the case for
over a year and are familiar with
the allegations" news of the probe
did not leak out until a handful of
Signal Corps officers and employees
petitioned Congress for an inves-
tigation.
Attributed to 'Grudge'.
1t was learned that copies of the
petition had been forwarded to
several Congressional committees
and outside agencies.
A top Army intelligence source
said the allegations Of the group
originated last year when the Sig
nal Corps intelligence unit was
located at Fort Monmouth, N. j.
This source. attributed the allega-
tions to "a grudge."
However, the House Committee
on Un-American Activities is look
ing into the matter, although Of
flcials declined to term it "an in
vestigation."
Checking for Three Weeks.
A member of the committee in
vestigation staff who asked not to
be quoted said the House group
had been looking into the matter
for about three weeks. He said
the attention Of the committee
was directed to the matter as a
result of the apparently freely
circulated petition.
Another member of the COM
mittee staff, Raphael I. Nixon,
director of research, said there
was "an indication" some docu-
ments were missing. He said it
was impossible to determine at
this time whether they were miss
ing as a result of espionage or
laxity.
In speaking Of the petition, Mr..
Nixon said:
"This is either something aw-
fully big or awfully vicious"

loves. or vacationing in Paris or
Italy.
The earl would go back to
supervising his fathers vast es-
tates and working with his gun
dogs until the next party and a
chance to be with the pretty
princess once again.
It was during one Of those re-
unions recently, while Margaret
was visiting the earl's family in
Scotland, that a spark may have
ignited this longtime friendship
and sent it f1aring into full-blown
love.
Everything points that way.
1mpetuously, it seemed, Mar
garet broke away from the gath
Iering and rushed back to England
with starlight cleaning in her
leyes.
She went right to Sandrtngham
Lodge, where the King had gone
for some shooting, and had a long
talk with her mother and father.
The next day a new guest ar
rived at Sandringham.
Have Much in Common.
1t was Johnny.
I He wasted no time getting bet
ter acquainted with the menfolks
lof the royal family. The very
next morning - after breakfast
with Margaret and her family
he went out hunting with the
King and the Duke of Edinburgh,
Princess Elizabeth's husband. !
|, The three men enjoy outdoor
life. Both the King and the earl
ARE never happier than when, guns
in hand, they follow their dogs
after grouse or quail. Il
h The threesome must have hit
off because the tall, young noble
man stayed ON at Sandringham
for quite a few breakfasts.
THE princess loves dancing, fun
and games.
The earl acts and dresses like a
country squire despite his youth.
He dislikes society life, but there
are fields of mutual interest.
Both are fond Of horses and
dogs. They appreciate music,
although Margaret's tastes run
more to light pieces and the earl's
to classics.
If they do marry there should
be no housing problem.
The Duke of Buccleuch owns
five homes and half million acres
strung through eight counties.
If Dalkeith does place a ring
on Margaret'S third finger, left
hand, the engagement probably
won't be announced until after
she returns from a royal cruise to
South Africa in the spring.

salary not designed to appeal too
much to those looking for choice
positions. However, there are o
number of wen-paying positions
in administrative and technical
|categories overseas that are also
filled without regard to civil serv-
ice, and these are eagerly sought.
Must Pass Exams.
The overseas jobs include the
State Departments Foreign Serv-
ice employees. Although they are
not under civil service, they are
required to pass difficult exams to
qualify.
The remaining jobs include en-
ployes in the Veterans Admins
tration's bureau of medicine and
surgery, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs and the Federal Bureau of
Investigation, and many post
masters, collectors of internal re-
venue and customs. bureau heads.
many administrative jobs, tech
nicians, and the like.
How many of the 100000 jobs
can be regarded as political pa
tronage assignments is difdcult to
tell. For example, such groups
as the FBI have never been ac-
cused Of political favoritism in

Representatives Rees. Republic
can, of Kansas, the ranking min
|ority member Of the House Civil
Service Committee and generally
regarded as one Of the two or
three members of Congress best
informed on civil service problems,
feels that the number Of non-civil
service jobs should be materially
reduced. EE
"I'm convinced that many of
these jobs are being filled through
political patronage" Mr.. Rees de-
clared. "They should be brought
under civil services" '3
The Kansan said its true that a
lot of these exempted Jobs are
filled without regard to politics.
But these generally are the lower
paying and less desirable positions.
he added. Mr.. Rees also said such
agencies as the FBI hire without
regard to political influence.
However, the fact remains that
there are 100000 jobs that can be
used by any administration in
power for political advantage"
Mr.. Rees declared.
High Wages Cited.
"Of course, some of the lower
paying jobs are not being filled
through patronage these days be-
cause of generally good wages and
high employment in private in
dustry due, to the defense pro-
gram" Mr.. Rees said. But when
the defense boom is over and un-
employment increases throughout
the country, some of these Gov
ernment jobs would look awfully
good to a lot of people and would
be choice political patronage jobs.
Mr.. Rees said that while it was
necessary for some Federal posi-
tions to be outside civil service,
there sis no reason in the world"
why the majority of the $1,000
jobs should remain exempt from
the merit system. i

Mcmahon Considers
Entering Presidential
Primary in Illinois

Senator Mcmahon OF Connectt-
cut disclosed yesterday that he
may enter the Democratic presi-
dental primary elections in Illi-
nois.
The surprise announcement
heated up Democratic rivalries
land touched off speculation that
President Truman's supporters
may be encouraging Senator Nc
Mahon as a way of slowing the
boom for Senator Kefauver, Dem
ocrat, Of Tennessee.
Earlier. Senator Humphrey
Democrat, of Minnesota, an
nounced he would run as a ''fav-
lorite son" candidate in the Min
nesota Democratic primary.
Both Senators Mcmahon and
Humphrey are strong administra-
ton supporters. This prompted
speculation that they were trying
to keep Senator Kefauver from
picking up strength in the pri-
maries.
Senator Kefauver, however, told
reporters that he did not put
lcredence in such reports.
Tomorrow is Deadline.
Tomorrow is the deadline for
Senator Mcmahon to enter the
Illinois primary. He issued this
statement:
"A group Of my friends in down.
State Illinois told me yesterday
lthey were preparing petitions to
enter my name in the Democratic
preferential primary for President
to be held in Illinois on April 8.
They wanted my permission to
file the petitions.
II have requested that the
petitions not be filed until I have
an opportunity to think it over"
Actually, Senator McMahon's
name could be entered in the pri-
mary even without his permission.
Democratic voters would get a
chance to "advise" the Illinois
delegation to the Democratic Ma
tional convention whether to back
Senator Mcmahon for the Demo-
presidential nomination.
DiSalle Sees Truman.
l. Price Stabilizer Disable paid
an unscheduled call on President
Truman. There were indications
that the Ohio political situation
came up. Mr.. Disable has said he
would announce Tuesday whether
to, run for the seat of Senator
Bricker, Republican, of Ohio.
2. The Democratic National
Committee asked Democrats across
the country to send "a strong
feminine representation" to their
national convention in Chicago
because "over so per cent of the
potential electorate is composed of
women"
8. Senator Anderson, Democrat,
of New Mexico, said he is more
confident than ever that President
Truman will run again. He cited
the experience of Representative
Sieminski, Democrat, of New
Jersey, who said he urged Presi-
dent Truman to run and got
President Truman's reply that he
never quit a fight.
President Truman's secrecy
about his intentions has kept the
jockeying in the Democratic pri-
Imaries fairly quiet until recently.

President Truman, without COM
