Senate Group Adopts
Bill Easing Restrictions
On u. ). Promotions
Committees Action
Virtually Assures
Passage Of Measure

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee today adopted a House
rider modifying restrictions on
Government employe promotions.
The committee approved the
rider as part of the 1852 supple
mentary money bill.
In voting to go along with the
House, the Senate groups action
made it virtually certain that pro-
motion restrictions will be eased
by Congress this year.
Under the present Whitten rider
now in effect, permanent promo
tions of Government wol.ers are
banned. Employees must have at
least one years tenure in their
present grade before becoming
eligible for temporary promotions
Also, temporary promotions OF
more than one grade are banned
in more than half of all Federal
jobs and permanent appointments
of new employees is severely limited
The new rider is sponsored by
Representative Whitten, Democrat
Of Mississippi. It would permit
permanent promotions up to the
number of permanent Fedora,
Jobs that existed on September /
1850. when the original Whittier
rider went into effect.
Also, the new rider would waive
existing restrictions on temporary
promotions whenever the Civi
Service Commission found thai
these curbs were unfair to EN-.
lployes involved.
In addition, the new ridel
would allow more permanent ap.
Ipointments in Federal service.

His Inquiry Yielded No Concrete Facts

lived probe. he added, his group
had received little more than COM
plants of wrongdoing.
Subcommittee Chairman Chelf,
Democrat, of Kentucky, said his
group also had been unable to get
files on II specific cases from the
Justice Department. He said the
subcommittee has not even had
the courtesy of reply since the
files were requested three weeks
ago."
Under questioning by Represen-
tative Rodino, Democrat, of New
Jersey. Mr.. Morris insisted there
was nothing untoWard" about his
connection with the surplus tanker
deal. He came into the tanker
picture as head of a foundation
which controlled three of the YES
sells. It is known that the deals
have been under study by the JUS
tice Department for several
months.
Not Discussed With McGrath.
Mr.. Morris said he had not
discussed his connection with the
tankers with Mr.. McGrath when
he was brought to Washington to
take over the corruption inquiry
He said he assumed Mr.. McGrath
knew about it, since the matter
was in the department.
Reminded that Mr.. McGrath
had testified that he had no
knowledge of Mr.. Morris con-
nection with the tankers, the
witness shook his head slowly and
said:
Itch, tch, tch. That's one of
the faults with the way the depart
ment was run. You would assume
the chief of the claims division
would hold weekly meetings with
the Attorney General and bring
him up to date"
In a closed session later today
the committee planned to hear an
Unidentified Justice Department
oftic al, whC is understood to have
been studying the tanker deals.
Also standing by for questioning
was A. Dewitt Vanech, Deputy At
torney General, who was Mr.. NC

his second man. Gen. Gruenther
moved into his job as NATO COM
mander The principal argument
made for Gen. Gruenther is that,
like Gen. Eisenhower. he has
learned to think in terms of Eu-
ropean unity. which is something
that cannot be acquired overnight.
Gen. Bradley, chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff, to whom the
President is personally devoted,
may still get the refusal of the
post. He has said that he does
not want it and would prefer to
retire
Ridgway Still in Running.
President Truman has told
friends he would not put any
road blocks in Gen. Eisenhower s
way. Thus. no delay can be ex-
Ipected once the question of a
successor is settled.
Gen. Ridgway is still in the
running because some influential
|Pentagon figures think the NATO
chief should have had experience
as a field commander, which Gen
Gruenther has never been. This
is perhaps another way of saying
that the brilliant Eisenhower
aide inspires in some people
a question about his practical
ability.
Impressive leadership qualities
are widely claimed for Gen. Ridg-
way. It is also argued for him
that he knows the problem Of de.
tense against communism in two
Continents.

Arrest Thought Very Close
In Killing Of Schuster
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April 10.-Investi-
gators today were reported to be
very close to the killer" of Arnold
Schuster, Brooklyn salesman
whose tip led to the arrest Of bank
robber Willie (The Actor Sutton.
I'VE haven't got the killer yet,
but we are very close to him." a
source in the Brooklyn district at
torney's Office said.
This source denied that the
killer is among a group of dozen
men held in high bail as material
witnesses yesterday at a secret
Kings County court session.
The identities of the IL were
withheld by authorities.
At least two of the men. it was
reported, had possession of 13 re-

By George Beveridqe

NeWbOld Morris asserted today
that neither the FBI nor the At
torney General has sufficient
time or adequate weapons" fol
an effective probe of corruption
in Government.
At the same time, he told a
House Judiciary subcommittee in
vestigating the Justice Depart
ment that his two-month career
as corruption sleuth yielded nc
concrete information which would
aid the subcommittee's inquiry.
The wealthy, 50-year-old New
York attorney was called fol-
questioning in the specific hope
that he could provide leads fol-
the House investigation. For the
most part, however, he was leo
through events climaxed by his
custer a week ago today.
A standing-room-onl audience
crowded one Of Capitol Hills larg-
est hearings rooms for the ques-
tioning.
Contrast to Senate Unit.
But the slow-moving testimony
was in sharp contrast to MIR. Nor
riS' explosive appearance a month
ago before a Senate subcommittee
investigating his connections with
surplus ship deals.
Mr.. Morris said he thought
President Truman's enthusiasm
for my job" might have been ended
by reports that some cabinet
members were ready to resign
rather than fill out the searching
financial questionnaires he had
distributed to top Justice Depart
ment officials.
However, Mr.. Morris said he
had no indication on whether the
reports were true.
It was former Attorney Genera,
McGrath's challenge of the ques-
tionnaire's propriety that led tc
the feud which swept both him
and Mr.. Morris out of Office.
Asked About FBI.
The witness was asked about
chances of a successful FBI probe
of corruption in view of statements
by James P. McGranery, newly
nominated Attorney General, that
the FBI will be responsible for any
such inquiry in the future.
Mr.. Morris said FBI Director
j. Edgar Hoover has told him the
agency is spending full time
checking security cases. Beyond
that, he continued, "the FBI has
no power to present facts directly
to grand juries."
Similarly. he said, the Attorney
General has no weapons to sub.
poena or investigate. He mus
spend all his time running huge
department."
Struck a "Roadblock."
Mr.. Morris said his inquiry wa
