said that these new rules would
result in practically no action
whatsoever being taken"
Although there is limit of six
weeks put on governments to
reply to a complaint, there is no
limit put on the length of time
the Secretary General could sit
on a complaint before sending it
to the governments concerned.
The view of most N. G.. o. repre-
sentatives that in the case of any
thing ''hot," the Secretary Gen
eral would not forward it for
months until it had cooled off"
Miss Sender described these rules
as further step in a system of
curtailment" of the N. C. O.'s.
It is understood here that these
rules were the result of the
World Jewish Congress COM
plant against Saudi Arabia. APP
parently, the United Nations con-
sidered this complaint as being
''too hot" On behalf of the World
Jewish Congress, Maurice PERIL
weig charged the Arab State
with having instituted anti-Sem-
itism as a national economic pol
icy in refusing to deal with any
Jewish trader throughout the
world.
The United States was instru-
mental in drawing up the new
rules ION procedure to be follow
ed in submitting complaints
against violation of human
rights" and the attitude it took in
curbing the N. G. O.'s expressed
the view of the majority of gov
ernments as eleven voted in favor
Of them to four against and three
The four against were
the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia,
Poland and Uruguay but they
voted in the negative for differ
snt reasons.
The Soviet bloc countries were
to the N. G. O.'s being
able to make any complaints at
all, while Uruguay opposed the
rules as unjust and said that they
merely fettered the non-govern-
mental organizations which were
fettered too much.
These new rules are the fourth
IN a series of curtailments on the
N. C. O.'s. The other three were:-

rights of N. G. O.'s to raise
agenda items in the Economic

PLAIN TALK
BY Alfred Segal
JOKES ON JEWS

"A citizen IN Milwaukee writes
to ask me to put in protest
against what television did to
him and TO all other Jews some
weeks ago. In its holder aspect.
he says. il has TO do with jokes
on Jews publicly told.
The matter had been burning
on his mind ever since that night
and, finally, he, as reader of the
Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle of
which am a correspondent, he
decided to summon me to share
his indignation, to raise hell
about it and to rally all other
Jews for a crusade against jokes
on Jews in television and radio.
He recalls the moment when he
was so terribly slapped in the
face by television. Jewishly
speaking. There he was. COM
fortably seated with his wife in
the living room when all at once
it hit him with sharp pain that
went TO his heart almost.
I'VE had turned in on Kate
Smiths Hour, expecting to be
well entertained as I always had
been by Kate Smith and that
goes back to the time when she
started coming around the noun
tain by radio"
The Milwaukee gentleman says
that even the mere act of tuning
in on Kate always relaxes him
with pleasant anticipation. He
can feel sure that everYthins;s
going to be all right with him
and his wife through the next
hour. He had been worrying
about the way business was 60
ing and just TO have Kate around
the house for an hour was CRATE
full relief. AS he said to his wife,
That girls sure has got some
thing"
He was even more pleased with
everything when a man who was
introduced as Cohen came into
the program. The name Cohen
sounded Jewish and the Milwau-
kee citizen says he could feel
even more at home when this
MIR. Cohen came forward into the
televiSion set-a gentleman in
the early middle age, neatly
dressed who at once began telling
IT was nice practically to have
this Mr.. Cohen in our house with
Kate Smith but why did he have
to play up being Jewish before
the whole country. you might
say. He told Jewish story. not
that he exactly said il was a story
with joke on Jews. but if you
are q Jew you can always tell a
story about Jews when ii is told.
Il just can't remember the
names of the two Jews Mr.. Cohen
told about to the whole country,
in practically everybody's living
room, but, strictly between our
selves, let's say they were Abe
and Morris or maybe Morris and
Abe. Between ourselves it's all
right to tell story about a cou-
pie OF Jews named Morris and
Abe or Abe and Morris, let's
say.
Well. as Mr.. Cohen told il.
one day Abe comes to Morris
with a proposition Norris
he says. I got something.

Negro Artists Wife
Ends Life by Gas
BY the Asseeiased Press

NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-The mar
Iriage of Yale University profess
Sor's daughter to a Negro artist
ended yesterday with her suicide
by gas, apparently in despair over
world conditions.
She was Mrs. Elizabeth Adams
Wright, II, daughter of the late
DR.. Thomas S. Adams, Yale eco
nomics professor.
She was married in 1945 to
George Wright, a member of a
well-to-do Honduran shipping
family. They fell in love while
he was a wartime merchant
marine officer and she was a
librarian at the Carver Institute
for Adult Education.
Mr.. Wright. a professional pho
tographer and modernist painter
said today:
She was very disturbed about
world conditions. When Russia was
our ally, she felt that the Soviet
and the United States could be-
come a great influence for peace
But when Russia showed itself
no better than the Hitler govern
ment she seemed to lose faith in
the future of the world"
Mr.. Wright said she appeared
cheerful when he left their home
in the Bronx yesterday. When he
returned home he found her dead

Socialists 10 Abstain
In P|eyen Vote, Giving.
Him Better Chance
By the Associosed Press

PARIS, Jan. 3.-Socialist lead
erS decided to abstain from voting
today on crucial issues which
threaten the f1ve-month-old coali-
tion government of Premier Rene
Pleven.
This was relatively encouraging
news for Mr.. Pleven, who faced
his sixth vote of confidence in
Parliament on the preliminary
issue OF whether to go ahead with
debate on his new tax and econ
nomic and social reform pro-
gram.
Mr.. Pleven was quoted as saying
the vote would be close.
The Socialists made their de-
cision before the opening of the
afternoon meeting of the Cham
ber of Deputies. The Communists
and De GaulliSts are opposed to
Mr.. Pleven but the Socialists hold
the balance of power. The time
OF the actual vote was uncertain.
De Gaulle Change Hinted.
There were widespread reports
beforehand that Gen. Charles De
Gaulle, at the rightist opposite
pole from the Communists, would
let his followers join a new gov
ernment without himself at its,
head-if they got the chance.
This was something new for De
Gaulle. who has been out of power
six years.
The issues were drawn on three
proposals submitted by the Pieven
cabinet along with the annual
budget:
Reform of the national social.
security system.
Reorganization OF the national
railways.
Tax increases amounting to.
around 10 per cent.
More Hurdles Ahead.
The deputies were not voting
today on the three proposals.
They were deciding whether the
National Assembly should discuss
them or refer them back to the
Finance Committee. That meant
more hurdles ahead for q VIC
torious Pleven.
A loss for Mr. Pleven would
send the whole financing problem
back to the Asse.nbly's Financial
Committee for another workout
under new coalition government.
Mr.. Pleven was expected to
scrape through in view of the
Socialist Party abstaining. It is
weak numerically but powerful in
the balance of the 625-member
Assembly, which decides votes Of
confidence of simple majority.
The French budget for this year
should have been voted before the
close of 1851 1t calls for a
ecord-breaking equivalent of So
62O,O00,000 and $457 million in
new taxes.

effect, leaves the OPS order
standing.
Sought to Raise Ceilings.
Safeway officials sought per-
mission to raise ceilings in ac-
cordance with the so-called Cape
hart amendment and other
changes. in the Defense Produc-
ton Act allowing adjustments re-
fecting food cost increases since
the start of the Korean fighting.
Mr.. Disable ruled that the amend
ments did not apply in the Safe
way case. The company's appeal
was the first DPA price-control
case to reach the Supreme Court.
8. Upheld, 6 to 3, with Chief
Justice Vinson and Justices Black
and Reed dissenting. a Court of
Claims decision that John S. Kelly,
4718 Forty-tifth street NV, a
Government Printing Office en-
'ploye, was entitled to double time
|and-a-half pay for working on
several holidays during the war.
The General Accounting Office
estimated today that about 10000
Federal employees, including 1000
in the C. P. O.. might be affected
by the decision. Total claims may
exceed So million.
The Supreme Court decided
that, under a 1888 law and a
wage agreement between the
Public Printer and the Interna-
tional Typographical Union local
to which Mr.. Kelly belongs, he
was entitled to the premium and
gratuity pay for working on the
specified holidays.
Most per annum employees Of
the Government worked without
additional pay on those holidays
during the war. the court was
told.

This is the wrong approach.
The nature of the mans duties
and the degree of responsibility
he has in the organization should
be the basis on which his grade
and salary are determined"
LEAVE-One phase of the new
leave law has been generally over
looked. This is the provision that
all annual leave in excess of so
days will be accumulated only~to
the end of the last pay period of
the year.
Until now, the deadline has al
ways been December 81. But, for
example. this year the last COM
plete pay period ends on Decem-
ber 20. This means that Gov
eminent workers must use all of
their annual leave in excess of so
days by December 20, or lose it.
OF course, all annual leave un-
der go days may be accumulated
from year to year.
PROGRAM-Here is the 10
point 1852 legislative program for
Government workers to be sought
from Congress this year by the
AFL Government Employees Coun-
Gil. which represents AFL Federal
employe unions with a combined
membership of 100000:
ID Increased annuities for re-
tired employees, as we'll as present

ernment workers who die; 90 en-

Aide Says Symington
Hopes 10 Finish LOT Of
Work Before Outline

W. Stuart Symington's plan to
resign as administrator of the Re-
construction Finance Corp. will
depend on how much time he
needs to finish "a lot of work"
he still wants to do in Improving
the agency, it was learned today.
Mr.. Symington became admin
istrator last May in a reorganiza-
ton that abolished the old board
of directors following Senate sub
committee disclosures of favor
itism and influence" On several
occasions, as recently as two weeks
ago, he has told associates and
friends that he hoped to resign
early in 1852.
The resignation of Peter /.
Bukowski. Chicago banker, as
deputy administrator, revived re-
ports that Mr.. Symington soon
might leave. The White House
announced last Monday that Pres
ident Truman with reluctance"
accepted the resignation effective
at midnight December 81. But
Mr.. Bukowski did not receive a
notification letter until yesterday.
House Rented in Jamaica.
Another development that re-
vived reports concerning Mr..
Symington was his plan for a
vacation in February. He and
Mrs. Symington have rented a
house in Jamaica for about a
month beginning in mid-Febru-
airy. associates said. The aSso-
ciates added that they had no
reason to believe this meant Mr..
Symington intends to resign at
that time.
Mr.. Symington was due back in
Washington tonight following a
holiday visit to st. Louis. An
RFC spokesman said Mr.. Syming-
ton recently remarked that he
wants to be relieved of the RFC
responsibility this year." but that
there is still a lot of work want
to do first" The spokesman
added that your guess is as good
as ours as to how soon Mr..
Symington can finish all he wants
to do at RFC."
PrObers Eye Delay.
Meanwhile, Senators who have
investigated RFC wondered why
acceptance of Mr.. Bukowski's
resignation was announced by the
White House two days before he
was officially notified.
Senator Fulbright, Democrat, of
Arkansas, who headed a Subcom-
mittee probe of RFC for more
than two years, told reporters the
delay in telling Mr.. Bukowski
about it may have been an over
sight. But he said his group, al
though carrying on no active in
vestigation at this time, will
watch very closely" all changes
in RFC high level management.

Savage River Dam
Prevents Flood
At Cumberland
BY the Assoeioted Press

CUMBERLAND. Md. Jan. s.
The Savage River flood control
dam was credited today with pre-
venting a flood in the Potomac
River here.
The reservoir behind the dam
was filed with water for the first
time last night.
Louis A. hoffman, engineer in
charge of the Cumberland Office
of the surface water branch of
the Geological Survey, credited
the dam at Luke, about 20 miles
upstream from Cumberland, with
impounding enough water in the
last five days to prevent food
stage here.
The dam was finished last
spring.
Mr.. HOFFMAN said that the Po-
tomac would be receiving the full
flow of the Savage River now
that the reservoir is filled, and
that as a result the Potomac prob
ably would rise another 2 feet in
Cumberland today, still more
than 5 feet below flood stage.

pect the reservoir to be filled un-
