Raised for Negro
Colleges

by the United Negro College Fund
in it's 1851 campaign, it was an
nounced today in a final, year-end
report by William J. Trent, Jr.,
executive director of the Fund.
Mr.. Trent stated in the report
tina the 1851 amount raised ex-
ceeds last years campaign results
by some $4,000 and is the largest
sum obtained in any one year by
the Fund, since it was established
in 1914. National campaign lead
ership for 1851 included Thomas /
Parkinson, president ofthe Eqiut-
able Life Assurance Society who
servide as chairman, and Truman
Z. Gibson, ST., president of Su-
preme Liberty Life Insurance Co.

among 80 private, accredited col
leges and universities located, with
the exception of Lincoln Univer-
sity in Pennsylvania, in II South
ern states and having a total en-
rollment of 10000 students.
The Funds annual campaign
goals, represent approximately
ten percent of the combined edu-
cational budgets of it's 80 member
institutions, or the amount not pro-
vided for by income from tuition,
endowment and recurring church
board grants. The colleges will use
the money raised by the Fund this
year for such current operating
expenses as scholarship aid for
qualified students, faculty salar-
les, teaching and laboratory equip
ment, student health programs and
library books.

U. 5. HoIdsLiti Hope
Russians Will Accept
Austrian Treaty Terms
Ry Gnrnetf D. Homer

American officials had little
hope today Of q favorable Russian
response to q new Western pro-
posal for a Streamlined peace
treaty with Austria.
The United States, Britain and
France presented the proposal to
Moscow yesterday with strong
plea for Its adoption as IAN Inn
portant step toward the console
dation of peace"
They submitted q 1,00O-word
draft treaty Of only eight articles
in an effort to break a five-year
deadlock with the Russians in
negotiations for q much longer
60-article treaty.
All but one of the eight articles
In the Vests new version already
have been agreed to by Soviet
negotiators. That one Is expected
to draw an emphatic mo- from
the Russians.
The new article would end Rus
Sia's profitable control Of so-called
German assets in the Eastern zone
OF Austria. They include oil,
shipping and industrial properties
from which the Soviet is believed
to have been making about $50
million a year.
The West agreed in l949 that
Russia could keep some of these
properties and get $3.50 million in
exchange for turning back Others
to Austria. on condition that Rus
sia promptly agree to other peace
terms. @
The State Department said the
West now was drawing back from
the 1949 agreement on these
assets because Russia has con-
tinued to bar conclusion of q
peace treaty and continued to
collect enormous occupation costs
from Austria and to reap vast
material benefits from adminis-
tering the so-called German as
sets in Eastern Austria"
Austria'S independence would
be fully restored under the new
treaty proposal, which would end
the occupation Of Austria by
Soviet as well as by American,
British and French troops within
80 days after 1t came into effect.
Expected Russian rejection OF
the proposal will virtually kill
Western hopes for breaking the
stalemate over treaty. The
State Department said, however
that "the aim Of the Western
powers continues to be the con-
clusion Of q four-power agreement
on Austria which will include the
Soviet Union"

ten amendment would !:
!. Once again allow permanent
promotions to be made. Agencies
could give permanent promotions
to employees providing the number
of permanent status Jobs in the
particular grades In the particular
agency does not exceed the num-
ber Of September II 1850, when
the original Whittier rider went
into effect The new language
reads: ANY agency may promote
any employe permanently to po-
sition if such promotion will not
increase the number Of employees
holding permanent positions in
the grade Of such position In such
agency above the number In such
grade in such agency prior to Sep
tember !. 1880"
For example, II the Agriculture
Department had / 500 permanent
status employees In grade GS-7 on
September !. 1850. and now has
only 1900 permanent-status en-
ployes in that grade, an additional
200 employees may be given per-
manent promotions to grade GS-7.
2. Allow permanent promotions
to be made to any type of jobs
for which the Civil Service Com
mission allows permanent ap-
pointments to be made from the
outside. In other words. if the
commission authorizes recruit
ment for certain types Of Federal
Jobs on a permanent basis, en-
ployes within the Government
may be promoted to these posi-
tions on a permanent basis.
8. Remove the present restric-
tions' on temporary promotions
whenever the Civil Service Com
mission determines that such re-
strictions would work hardships
Ior inequities on the employe in
volved or on the agency.
The one-year waiting period
that is required of an employe in
his present grade before he is
eligible for even a temporary pro-
motion. and the ban on more than
Ia one-grade promotion at. a time
that now applies to about so per
cent Of Federal positions, would
be waived in every case the COM
mission saw At. The new rider
gives the commission full author
ity to permit these promotions re-
|gardless of present restrictions, if
this is requested by the head of
the agency where the employe
works. s
A*&*
GOOD BREAK-House adop-
ton of the rider is a decided
stroke Of luck for thousands of
Federal employees who have been
held back because Of the present
law.
It will mean conversion to per-
manent appointments for thou
sands Of Federal workers who have
been forced to take temporary pro-
motions. And 1t will mean oppor-
tunities for permanent promotions

Election Plan Changed

An oversight in omitting an
emergency clause in Alexandria
charter amendments approved by
the recent Virginia General As
sembly has thwarted the city's
plan to have a direct election Of
Mayor and Vice Mayor June 2.
Without the emergency clause,
one Of the amendments-provid
ing that the councilmen receiving
the most votes in the June 2 elec-
tion automatically become Mayor
and Vice Mayor-cannot take eff
feet until June %. nearly four
weeks after the election.
The omission, discovered by city
officials yesterday, means that
Alexandria will have to employ

to decide which of them shall be

Judge Kirkland Bars
Study by Committee
|0f Bullock Records

Judge James r. Kirkland has
laid to rest any remaining doubts
over whether the District Com.
special committee In.
vestigating Police Inspector Al-
bert I. Bullock is entitled to study
the record of the policeman's
grand jury testimony. He said no.
Judge Kirkland was the District
Court jurist who granted the
Commissioners petition to scan
Inspector Bullock's testimony as
part Of their effort to decide
disciplinary action should
be taken against the official.
Inspector Bullock was indicted
along with Charles Z. Nelson and
IA others on gambling conspiracy
charges last October. He was later
acquitted on q directed verdict
by Judge Kirkland.
On Extended Leave.
Since that time he has been
on extended leave, and for the
past month has been demanding
retirement. which the Commits
sioners refuse to grant until their
investigation is complete.
In the view Of Attorney Francis
w. Fill. jr.. chairman of the
special committee Of three lawyers
assigned to the. Bullock case by
the Commissioners, his groups
investigation cannot be complete
without q study Of the grand jury
minutes.
Judge Kirkland told reporters
yesterday that he intended his
ruling to mean that only the
Commissioners or their author.
lied governmental representa-
tives" should have access to the
grand jury record.
Only Advisory Body.
The committee. he pointed out.
is only an advisory body. "The
Commissioners may not delegate
to the committee their power to
see the minutes" the judge EN-.
phasized.
In the long history Of Com.
missioners' advisory committees,
Judge Kirkland's decision marked
the first time that such q group
tried and failed to gain access to
confidential data, according to
observers.
West Not Surprised.
Corporation Counsel Vernon e.
West indicated he was not sur.
prised by the reversal of the COM
mittee since the group. being ad.
visory, lacks legal status.
Committees of this kind act
in a purely advisory capacity.
they cannot make administrative
decisions, nor are their recon.
mendations binding on the Com.
missioners," he said. Its much
as if the Commissioners were to
seek the advice Of their wives. /"
Mr.. West pointed out that the
Commissioners frequently cir
|culated proposed regulations to
affected parties for the purpose
of getting their advice before act
ing.
Such measures. he added, have
not been challenged because legal
authorities recognize their ed.
visory nature.

in orienting the child TO his social

However. violence and Illicit
sex shall not be presented in an
attractive manner. nor to such

"They should not be presented

In the future for many other en-
ployes who have not vet advanced.
Federal ofiicials estimate that
perhaps as many as $4,000 en-
ployes may obtain permanent
status, since the number Of per-
nlanent Government employees has
dropped BY ct least that number
since September /. 1850. when the
present ban was adopted BY Con-
gresS.
The new rider would also mean
much greater opportunities for en-
ployes to obtain temporary promo,
tions. At present, many employees
are being held back because of the
various restrictions contained In
the law. The blanket authority
given the commission to waive
such curbs win mean promotions
for thousands Of Federal workers.
In sponsoring the new amend
ment, which. incidentally, was Ap-
proved unanimously BY the House,
Mr.. Whitten said 1t was not his
original intent that the rider Of
the past few years should be 30
severe. He blamed the commits
sion for misinterpreting the riders
intent and making it more severe
than intended. and said his new
amendment would spell things out
$50 that injustices and inequities
would be avoided.

PAY COST-In voting the 1852
supplemental bill, the House
chopped of about $I2.5 million
from the $348 million the House
Appropriations Committee had
authorized for departments and
agencies to pay for the cost Of
last years Federal pay raise.
That action represents a 10 per
cent cut in funds below the ap-
preparations groups figures and q
l per cent reduction for the Post
Office Department.
While the reduction isn't too
severe. 1t will mean that the
agencies, which already have abb
sorbed about half the cost Of the
pay boost through administrative
savings. will have to econcmize a
little bit more. The amount voted
still will assure regular paydays
and very few, II any. employees viii
have to be dismissed. The ad-
ministration, however, win seek to
have the Senate restore the full
amount. feeling that the agencies
have already adopted dis much
administrative economies as are
feasible. a
