provides that such plans become
effective go days after their SUBJ
mission unless the Senate or the
House adopts. meantime, q reso-
luton of disapproval.
The deadline in this case Is
March II.
Administration supporters in
Congress have contended all alone
that the House would not disap-
prove the plan. They have said
there is some doubt, however, as
to what the Senate may do. When
the Senate may act is still In
definite.
Representative McCorm q c K
Democrat. Of Massachusetts, told
a reporter the vote in the House
committee was unanimous.
Hoffman Sponsored Move.
Representative Hoffman, Repub-
lican Of Michigan. who introduced
the resolution of disapproval, is
a member of this committee
However. Mr.. Hoffman said when
he sponsored the resolution that
his purpose was to force a vote
by the full House and that he was
not committing himself to opposi-
ion to the reorganization plan.
MIR. Truman sent the plan to
Congress after disclosure of wide
spread scandals in the Federal
tax-collecting service. He de-
scribed it as one step among sew
eral he had In mind to weed any
wrong-doers from his admins
tration.
The plan would abolish the
present 64 offices Of internal rev.
enue collectors, all Of whom are
political appointees, and create up
to 25 district commissioner Offices.
The district commissioners and
their deputies would be civil serv-
ice employees.

Koreu Negotiations Foil
By the Assoeiated Press

MILWAUKEE,, Jan. 24.-Secre-
tary Of Navy Dan A. Kimball
struck sharply at inefficient Gov
ernment employees and carping
civilians last night and also said
the navy would carry the war to
the enemy if there is no trdce in
Korea.
He delivered his strongly word
ed speech to q meeting Of the
local Navy League Council and
the Milwaukee Executives Club
after putting aside his prepared
text.
Referring to men In Govern
|ment, Secretary Kimball declared
''If they don't deliver the goods
let them get to hell out Of Office. "
As for critical civilians, he said: /:
'If you're not willing to come
down and show us how to do 1t
better. don't sit at home and
criticize. !"
Won't Fight In q. s.
The Navy Secretary did moi
mention any names.
n-God forbid we do not
have q truce in Korea the Navy
will carry the war to the enemy"
Secretary Kimball warned.
"We're not going to fight the
next war in the United States.
We're going to fight it somewhere
else, and it'll be up to the Navy
to take the Army, the Air Force
and the Marines to their new
positions, and it'll be the Navy
which supplies them with what
they need to do their jobs"
The Navy, said Secretary KIM
ball, will continue to stand as the
Nations strong right hand and
carry the fight to the enemy
wherever there is deep water"
No reason was given for Secre-
tary Kimball's departure from his
prepared text which was distrib-
uted before his appearance.
To Seek More Carriers.
Secretary Kimball, in his pre-
pared text, said that the Navy
planned to ask for one additional
carrier for each Of the next 10
years and that it was hoped q
good many of these would be
|atomic-powered.
In the prepared text he was
quoted as saying:
I'VE anticipate that we may
have to maintain strong. balanced
forces for as much as 10 more
years. even though that 10-year
period does not produce a major
war. We will maintain naval
power at a level deemed sufficient
to dissuade any aggressor or group
|of aggressors."

Gp0 Need Not Rehirt
Man Il Cost S5OO,OOO
To Fire, Court Rules
Appeals Case Reverses
GoIdsboroueh Decision
Over Suit by Printer

The Government Printing Office
does not have to rehire a printer
lit cost the Government a reputed
$500, 900 to fire, the United States
Court of Appeals ruled today.
The printer, Orton T. Campbell
|of 214 Massachusetts, avenue NV,
who now Is in the Army, was fired
from the g. p. o. In 1946. He fled
suit to regain his job.
When the case reached the late
District Court Judge T. Alan
| lGoldSborough last May, Mr..
Campbell won his long fight.
Judge Goldsborough ordered that
Ihe be restored to his job and casti-
gated the Federal Government for
spending q reputed $500, 900 to fire
the $4,400-a-year printer.
Charges Established.
sI hope II win never happen
again that an administrative
|agency will spend 100000 to get
rid Of an employe." he declared
from the bench. IF that is the
case, we ought to get rid Of the
| Government agencies"
In overruling, Judge Colds
borough, the appellate court de-
|clared:
"The charges made against
Campbell were amply established.
Most of the proof was documen-
tary and in many respects his own
testimony was sufficient. The con-
sideration given him by his su-
|periors and by the Civil Service
Commission was ample in its ex-
tent and nature"
The decision said Mr.. Camp
bell was fully advised from time
to time" as to the charges and
evidence against him. It added
that he was afforded repeated
opportunities ITO present what
ever he had to present"
1--WE do not find that any satu-
tory prescriptions or any pro-
visions Of the applicable admins
|trative regulations were violated
lin this matter. The Judgment Of
the District Court was in error
and must be reversed"
The appellate court held, In
effect, that all the charges against
Mr.. Campbell did not have to be
proved. If one charge sufficient
to warrant dismissal was proved,
that was enough.
Goldsborough Action Stayed.
Judges E. Barrett Prettyman
and James Proctor issued the
ruling with Judge Bennett Champ
Clark dissenting.
Judge Goldsborough upheld Mr..
|Campbell's contention that ne
should have been given the right
to cross-examine witnesses during
"a 1946 Civil Service Commission
|hearing. The Judge also said the
charges against Mr.. Campbell
were vague.
Judge Goldsborough ordered Mr..
Campbell restored to his job. The
Government then got q stay In
the execution Of the order pending
the outcome Of the appeal it filed
Immediately.
Mr.. Campbell was charged with
circulating false reports and OBJ
|structing work at the GPO. His
dispute with the Government that
led to the firing concerned his vet
|erans' unemployment rights.
During the District Court trial.
the $500 900 estimate was brought
out Is the total Of what 1t cost
the Federal Government to fight
the various legal steps taken BY
|ldr. Campbell to regain his job.
