CHICAGO, June 20.-PreSident
Truman was quoted today as tell
ing guests at a private White
House dinner party Tuesday night
that he didn't accept a draft for
another term because of his age,
The Chicago erald-American
and the Chicago Tribune said this
information was given by James c.
Thompson. a Chicago businessman
who was one of eight guests at
the party.
In Washington, the White House
refused to comment on any pri-
vate dinner attended by the Presi-
dent. It also refused to confirm
or deny there was such a dinner
Tuesday night.
The newspapers quoted Mr.
Thompson as telling the President
there is a definite feeling in my
part of the country that you are
available for a draft nomination.
Their report continued:
Truman smiled. then replied:

bill Giving Marines
Greater Policy Role
lis Sent 10 Truman
BY the Assoeiofed Press

A bill raising the size of the
Marine Corps, and giving the
leathernecks more independence
and influence in the military es-
tablishment, landed on President
Truman's desk today.
Considerable enthusiasm - on
the part of ex-Marines in Con-
Igress put steam behind the new
bill which whipped through both
houses yesterday by unanimous
voice votes.
Senator Douglas. Democrat. Of
Illinois. a wounded and decorated
Marine officer in World War II.
said the bill, of which he was
sponsor, would keep the Joint
Chiefs of Staff from cutting the
Marine Corps as a combat organ
ization. That, he said, had been
urged by some Army and Air
Force generals.
The bill would do these things
for the Marines:
l. Put their commandant on
the Joint Chiefs with a voice in
policy or strategy matters that
directly concern the Marine
Corps"
2. Assure them independence
from the Navy. of which they are
a part. as far as size and organi-
Zation are concerned.
3. Allow them permanently in
peacetime to build UP to 400.00
men and officers of three divisions
and three air wings, with no man.
power ceiling at all in war or
emergency.
The corps is now limited to one
fifth the peacetime power of the
Navy and has a strength of about
214.000.

Regarding the regular require
ments for promotions, both per-
manent and temporary, applicants
must have served at least one
year in a grade before they may
be advanced to the next grade.
Also, in about half of all Federal
jobs, promotions Of more than one
grade are barred.
These. restrictions may be
waived II the commission, upon
the appeal Of a head Of an agency,
finds such curbs would be an in
justice and hardship on the en-
ploye involved. Each employees
case must be appealed by an
agency on an individual basis.
X +
VETERANS PREFERENCE-1n
another move, the Civil Service
Commission announced that six
types Of Federal jobs restricted to
veterans only since 1914 will be
open to all applicants after July IS.
The positions are: Contract off,
Ger, assistant contract officer,
senior contract representative and
contract representative, Veterans
Administration: correctional Off
Ger. Bureau of Prisons, Justice De-
|partment, and substitute postal
transportation clerk, Post Office
Department.
Still reserved for veterans only
are the positions of custodian
guard. elevator operator and mes
Senger.
LEAVE-Congress is expected to
put its final stamp of approval on
the 1858 independent Offices money
bill within the next few days.
Thus. the leave accumulation
ban rider in the bill will become
law. Federal employees will have
to use all of their 1852 annual leave
by June 80, 1858, on penalty of
forfeiting the unused portion.

Fairfax Board Firm

Members of the Fairfax County
School Board have indicated they
plan to stand by their decision
to put an elementary wing on the
proposed new Negro high school
at Merrifleld.
The Board Of County Super
visors has called the School Board
to a joint meeting July 2 to dis
cuss the controversial issue.
In earlier plans. the School
Board had proposed to build a
high school at Merrifield and also
to construct a separate elementary
building near Bailey's Crossroads.
School Board Chairman Fred
w. Robinson said that the cost
of a separate school near Bailey's
Crossroads might require elimina-
ton Of some facilities planned for
Merrifield.
Evening star., 1952-06-20

Under the new regulations. all
past services of an employe may
be counted in determining wheth-
er he can be promoted. Under
the old law, it was permissible
to count only that service rem
dered during the year preceding
the promotion.
This will be a decided break
for many employees who have been
down-graded in their jobs or who
lost their positions and re-entered
the Federal service at lower
grades. The old Whitten rider
had required that an employe
serve at least one year in his
present grade before he could be
promoted to the next higher grade.
But the new rider will allow a pro-
motion, if the employe. at any
time in the past, had served at
least q year in the next lowest
grade, the same grade to which
he seeks a promotion or a higher
grade.
Employees also may be promoted
to Federal jobs not under civil
service. if they have taken an
exam and are within reach for
appointment to these jobs. This
provision would apply mainly to
employees in such non-civil serv-
ice agencies as Atomic Energy
Commission, Federal Bureau of
Investigation and Tennessee VAL
ley Authority.
PERMANENT AND TEMPO
RARY-Employes may be given
permanent promotions by their
agencies up to the number of per-
lmanent jobs existing in a partic-
lular grade Of particular agency
as Of September /, 1850.
Also, the new law allows per-
manent promotions to be made to
those jobs for which permanent
appointments among outsiders are
allowed. Only permanent status
employees are eligible for perma-
Inent promotions.
All other promotions must be
on a temporary indefinite basis.

100000 Is Asked
To Meet Psychiatric
Needs at Ga||inger

Health Officer Daniel L. Seek
niger yesterday asked the Com
missioners for a 5000, 900 appro-
priation to meet immediate needs
of the Gallinger Hospital PSYCHE
atric division.
DR.. Seckinger forwarded his re-
quest to Commissioner Renah F.
Camalier. who has agreed on the
immediacy of the need.
Half for More Personnel.
About $4,000 of the amount
would be used for increased per-
sonnel. This would include
psychiatrists, 2 head nurses, z staff
nurses, IL practical nurses or Or
derlies, a housekeeper and a clerk
stenographer.
Remainder of the requested sum
would go to remodeling one OF
three psychiatric units at CALM
ger. DR.. Seckinger said improve
ment of physical facilities fol
psychotics and hard-to-manage
patients is imperative.
Method Not Suggested.
While stressing that the i'm
provements are needed now, DR.
Seckinger said he did not recon-.
mend that the funds should be
provided either in a supplemental
appropriation or squeezed into the
1853 budget still pending in Con-
gress.
The health officer filed his re-
quest in response to Commissioner
Camalier's instruction to prepare
a breakdown of necessary funds.

Sawyer Turns Over
Liner for $28 Million
DESPITE Price Protest
BY the Assoeioted Press

Despite objections by Controller
General Lindsay Warren. Secre-
tary of Commerce Sawyer today
let the United States Lines have
the $40 million luxury liner
United States for the company's
contract price of $28 million.
Mr.. Warren objected three
weeks ago that a $42 million Gov
Iernmene contribution to the ships
cost was much too generous. He
urged Secretary Sawyer to hold
up delivery of the ship unless
United States Lines would agree
to pay a bigger share of the
cost.
Says Contract Is Binding.
Mr.. Sawyer, who replied that
the contract was binding and un-
changeable, said today transfer o1
title had been completed at Ho-
boken, N. j.
With it. he said, the ship was
formally delivered and accepted by
the company at Newport News
Va, where construction recently
was completed.
The United States, the world.
third largest and apparently it.
fastest passenger ship, is to set Out
tomorrow for New York. It is tt
sail from there on it's nader
transatlantic voyage July 3 with
a full booking of 1000 passengers
Mr.. Sawyer issued a two-pagt
statement on delivery of the shir
without making any mention oi
Mr.. Warren's objections.
In the statement he called this
"the proudest day in our maritime
history"
Stresses Liners Qualities.
The statement dwelt on the
quality of the big new liner, say
ling nothing about the cost side
or the possibility that Mr.. Warren
may attempt to force a change ir
the distribution of costs between
the Government and company.
The Govern ent subsidy
granted in 1949 by the old Mari
time CommiSSion-since reorgan.
lied and incorporated in Secre-
tary Sawyer's department-was
broken down this way:
$18 million to cover the extra
cost of constructing the ship ir
this country over what it woulC
have cost to construct it abroad
$24 million to cover the cost oi
special features, such as high
speed and two engine rooms. The
Government wanted these built ir
SO the liner could be used as 6
troop ship in the event of q wal
Emergency.
Denies Cruise Is Junket.
Meanwhile, John M. Franklin
president of the United State.
Lines, denied that free-loadinl
cruise aboard the new liner is ar
unnecessary "junket" provided al
taxpayers expense.
Mr.. Franklin said the company
lis bearing the entire expense.
Taking note of reports that key
members of Congresssand Gov.
lernment officials have been invited
for weekend cruise aboard the
liner tomorrow. Mr.. Franklin saio
in a statement:
"This trip is not 'junket.' but
| is in fact necessary preparation!
move in getting any new passen'
ger ship into satisfactory com
mercial service.
II should also like to point OH
that the expenses Of this trip ar,

ments made to the company"
