force programs. The council,
which is the official advisory unit
of the csc and the White House
on personnel matters, is expected
to look favorably on most of the
commissions proposals.
The commission has asked the
council for its views on the pro-
posals prior to putting them into
effect as new regulations. After
studying the matter for about a
month. the councils employment
committee has agreed with the
commissions major suggested
changes. The full council meets
on the matter tomorrow.
The commissions proposed reg
ulationS would:
/. Deny Dumping" rights to
career employees serving their pro-
stationary Cone year, periods.
2. Deny humping rights to vet
Grams with temporary indefinite
status.
8. Modify the humping rights OF
career workers who hold tempo
rary promotions.
The csc said the changes would
reduce "the almost endless chain
Eof reassignments which plague
agencies" when layoffs occur. II
cited a recent report of the Senate
Civil Service Committee which
said that bumpings had caused
the Agriculture Department to
take LOO personnel actions in
order to lay of $50 employees
and the Veterans Administration
to take SAB actions in order to lay
on 219.
Under the proposed rule changes
q career appointee still serving
his one-year probational periot
would be denied the Dumping
rights now granted him. And thu
career worker holding q temporary
promotion would have Dumping
rights only after he dropped bach
to the job from which he was pro.
NOTED. These employees now may
exercise their rights even before
dropping back.
Also. the proposed new rules
would modify the rights of career
workers serving probational pc.
RODS. At present, these employee.
are in the last group to go wher
Ilayoffs occur. Under the new rules
they would drop down one runs
into the next-to-last group.
Incidentally. the council is ex.
pected to urge the csc to worh
out new policy. spelling out ir
more effective detail procedures
for finding Federal unemployment
for career workers. who lose Their
jobs.

lust before Gen. Eisenhower was
supposed to enter the auditorium,
he called for a vote from the au-
dience. Should Senator Nixon be
kept on the ticket as the vice
presidential nominee. or not?
The vote" was a thunderous
Endorsement of Senator Nixon.
When Mr.. Bender called for the

were drowned in a chorus of boos.
Some Of the newsreel camera
men had been taken unawares.
They asked for an encore and Mr..
Bender was willing. With the

Congressman called for the YER

sound level. The whole audience
was on its feet, waving flags,
Jumping and screaming.
This was the atmosphere in the
hall when Gen. Eisenhower walked
In to make his speech.
For the audience. it was the
last act Of the drama. It was
lunthinkable that the general
should let them down--should fail
to perform according to the build
lup that had gone before.
For others. there remained a
Question more important than the
fate Of Senator Nixon: The ques-
ton, simply Of whether there
really is freedom Of choice for any
man In politics. In this group,
most thought that the general
would make an honest try at it.
But these were many who had de-
cided, long before last nights

The audience applauded when
the general threw away his pre-
pared speech. A verdict was what
the crowd wanted, and it looked
as II q verdict was coming.
At first. it seemed as If they
would get it. The general began
by speaking Of the courage which
Senator Nixon had shown In CO.
Ing before the television audience
and barring his financial life. He
recalled the time when another
man-Gen. George s. Patton-had

Whatever the decision. Senator
Nixon said he would continue his
6ght, and added:
II am going to campaign up and
down America until we drive the
crooks and Communists and those
that defend them out Of Washing
ton"
Immediately after the broad
cast, Senator Nixon and his cam
paign party left in q chartered
plane for Missoula to resume the
campaign. His extended tour was
interrupted in Portland yesterday
so that Senator Nixon could fly to
Los Angeles for his speech.
James BaSsett, Senator Nixon's
press secretary, said the Senator

tor Nixon plans to return to Wash

Defends Use Of Fund.
Senator Nixon defended his use
Of the private expense fund
against the charge that it was
morally wrong" for him to ac-
cept while serving in the Senate.
He said it would have been
wrong If the money had been
used for his personal use or the
contributors received special
favorS.
Let me say this" he added.
mot one cent of the $4,000, or
any other money of that type,
ever went to me for my personal
use. Every penny Of it was used
to pay for political expenses that
I did not think should be charged
to the taxpayers Of the United
States"
Near the end Of his speech,
Senator Nixon, on the defensive
since the disclosure of his private
fund, launched q counterattack
against Gov. Stevenson and Sen
Atqr Eparkman. the Democratic
candidates.
Noting the reports that Gov.
Stevenson had private funds for
suppleImenting his aides as Gov
erlaor, Senator Nixon challenged
him and Senator Sparkman to go
before the American pe0ple and
give an accounting Of their own
finances as Senator Nixon had
done.
And II they DON'T" he added,
cit will be an admission that they
have something to hide"
As for Senator Sparkman, the
Republican candidate repeated
that the Alabama Senator has his
wife on his Senate payroll.

Special Claim Status
Lost by County Unit
BY the Assecio,ed Pres,

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 8.-The
Court of Appeals yesterday ruled
a county agency has no advan-
tage over an ordinary citizen in
pressing claims against estates.
It settled drawn-out proceedings
in Montgomery County by holding
the estate of Mary Lyles Potts ac-
countable for only $751 she had
received in relief payments.
Lydia Lyles Donnally of Mon
rovia, who administered the estate
had rejected the balance of the
boards $2.O14 claim. The differ
ence had been paid out before Mrs.
Potts husband died in 1945.
Circuit Judge Stedman Prescott
had decreed the board, as a gov
ernmental unit, could not be
spurned because it failed to sue
within nine months Of the rejec-
tion notice. Such a "non-claim''
limit is contained in State law.
Judge Prescott was wrong in al
lowing the county the entire
amount. Judge William L. Hender-
son said today. Welfare Boards
are entitled to recover relief pay
ments from estates, he explained,
but 1T is not necessary that such
right should be accorded a pref
erence or immunity from the con-
ditions precedent applicable to
every other litigant."
