Taft's S Aides Request
u. 5. Agencies 10 LIST
All Patronage Jobs
By the Associoted Press

Aides of Senator Taft, Repub-
lican, of Ohio, have asked "sev-
eral" Government departments
and agencies to list jobs filled by
presidential appointment and ex-
empt from civil service.
Disclosing this yesterday, Jack
Martin, Senator Taft's adminis-
trative assistant, said the job list
ings were requested Ito try to get
information for 300 or 400 per-
sons who have written us asking
about available places"
Mr. Martin said Senator Taft
himself knew nothing of the re-
quests, which the administrative
assistant said were made to in
dividual departments and agencies
by telephone because there is no
central listing of such positions.
He added that it is his under
standing other Republican Sena-
tors and G. o. P. House members
have made similar requests.
He said the primary objective
of the inquiry was to let Ohio
constituents know what Federal
jobs are available in their State
and where they can apply for
them. He said some G. o. P.
county chalrmen had written for
the same information.
Mr. Martin mentioned the In
terror and Agriculture Depart
ments as among those asked to
submit lists of non-civil service
Jobs. From other sources it was
learned that similar requests had
been made to the State. Treasury
and Commerce Departments and
some independent agencies.
The action of Senator Taft's
aides apparently was only part of
a pattern being followed by rep
resentatives of Republican men,
bers of Congress, faced with full
scale patronage requests for the
first time in the "a years since
Herbert Hoover took Office as
President in 1923.
Mr. Martin said that Senator
TaftS Office was not exerting any
pressure on the Government de-
partments, but merely trying to
get information at this time.
Senator Taft himself has made
it clear that he expects some of
those who supported his unsuc-
cessful bid for the Republican
presidential nomination to share
in the job awards under the new
Eisenhower administration.
He said in a statement after
his September meeting with Gen.
Eisenhower in New York that the
presidential nominee had agreed
there should be mo discrimina-
ton" against the Senator's pre-
convention supporters.

petitions calling for negotiations

pact of peace.
She reports, "Have had only one
person turn me down ;. most folks
are glad to sign. One lady said Il
would sign hundred times if that
would help; another said, About
time somebody came around with
something like this. A lot of peo-
pie after reading the petition would
say, Yes, I'll sign that, or, Sure,
I'll sign that. A great many people
said, Hope it will help, and, Peace
is what we want"
