Coal Pay Ruling Due,

Il 10 SteeIman TODAY

Economic Stabilizer Roger Put

nounce a decision in the soft coal
wage controversy or to turn over
the case to the White House.
Mr.. Putnam, faced with the
probable resignation of public

was reported to have told the
White House he would discuss his
decision with presidential aides
before he makes it public.
The WSB cut 40 cents from
the daily pay increase on grounds
that any more than $1.50 would
be inf1ationary and jeopardize the
sterilization program.
Putnam May Back WSB.
Mr.. Putnam has been unsuc-
cessful the last two weeks in his
attempts to win the approval of
Mr.. Lewis and the industry to
any compromise pay plan under
which 375,000 soft coal miners
would receive the 40 cents in some
fringe benefit or other.
Observers saw in Mr.. Putnam's
persistent attempt to persuade
Mr.. Lewis and the industry on this
score the strong possibility that
he would not overrule his WSB by
granting the $1.90.

nam either late today or tomor-
row on the coal wage question.
Miners May Strike.
Should Mr.. Putnam or the
White House uphold the WSB.
Mr.. Lewis miners may walk off
the job in a Nationwide strike.
On the other hand. if Mr.. Putnam
decides to grant the full $1.90,
most if not all of the four WSB
public members were reported re-
solved to resign in protest.
This would leave the mobiliza-
ton program without a wage
board, which cannot operate with

The case is being tried before
Judge Benjamin Michaelson and

OPPORTUNITY - Chairman
Robert Ramspeck of the Civil
Service Commission, who soon will
resign his position, feels that
President-elect Eisenhower "has
the greatest opportunity in his
tory" to improve Federal person
mel management.
Mr.. RamSpeck believes that
Gen. Eisenhower has the fewest
political commitments that any
IPreSident-elect ever had in max
ing job appointments, since he
made very few deals prior to the
ELECTION.
Since this is the case, President
elect Eisenhower should select the
top persons available for the three
Civil Service commissionerships,
Mr.. Ramspeck believes. He said
he felt that James Mitchell, the
present csc Republican member,
would make an excellent chair
man in the new commission.
The three csc commissioners
should be persons with a good and
successful background in personnel
management, either in Federal or
State governments or private in
dustry, Mr.. Rarnspeck declares.
Mr.. Ramspeck feels that i'm
proved personnel management is
the only way to achieve greater
economy and efficiency in Gov
lernment as well as making the
Federal service a better place in
which to work:

; Marines Awarded
Highest Medal; One
An Arlington Officer

President Truman today pre-
sented the Medal of Honor to
three Marine heroes of the bitter
winter fighting in Korea in 1850.
The Nations highest award for
valor went to-:
1t. Col. Raymond Gilbert Davis,
81, of 1913 South Fenwick street,
Arlington, now on duty at Marine
Corps headquarters here; T/Sergt.
Robert Sidney Kennemore, 80, of
Greenville. S. c., and Pfc. Hector
Albert Cafferata, jr., %, of Mont
vile, N. j.
Both enlisted men have been
retired because of their battle
wounds.
Col. Davis and Sergt. Kenne-
more served in World War II.
Led Four Day Attack.
The Arlington officer was hon
ored at the rose garden ceremony
for leading his battalion in a hard,
four-day attack to save a rifle
company from annihilation and
open a mountain pass to permit
two regiments to escape destruc-
ton.
Sergt. Kennemore lost both legs
when he covered an enemy gre
made with his foot to save his own
men.
Pvt. Cafferata operated as a
"one-man task force" to hold a
gap in the line with grenades and
rifle fire when the entire defense
Iperimeter was threatened.
Members of their families and
high ranking officers saw the
President decorate the three. Col
Davis won the Navy Cross in World
War II and has a number of other
decorations for gallantry.
Citation Quoted.
The citation for his Medal OF
Honor reads in part:
Although keenly aware that
the operation involved breaking
through surrounding enemy and
advancing eight miles along prim-
tive icy trails in the bitter cold
with every passage disputed by q
savage and determined foe, 1t

and defend a vital mountain pass

cally superior hostile forces during
their redeployment to the port OF
Hungnam.
when the battalion immedi-
ately encountered strong oppo-
sition from entrenched enemy
forces commanding high grounds
in the path of the advance, he
promptly spearheaded his unit in
a fierce attack up the steep, ice
covered slopes in the face of with
ering fire, and, personally leading
the assault groups in a hand-to-
hand encounter, drove the hostile
troops from their position, rested
his men and reconnoitered the
area under enemy fire to deter
mine the best route for continuing
the mission.

battalion over three successive

tinuous attacks against the enemy

couraging his men throughout the
night, brought his unit to point
within $500 yards of the sur
rounded rifle company by day.

Although knocked to the
ground when a shell fragment
struck his helmet and two bullets
pierced his helmet, he arose and
fought his way forward at the
head of his men until he reached
