Cancelled by Snow;

Racing was called OF at Bowie
today because of snow and sleet,
but word was received from
Charles Town that its program
would go on as scheduled.
Snow covered the Bowie track
and clogged roads leading into the
newly refurbished plant. Even II
the racing strip could be readied,
track officials said it was doubtful
that automobiles could get to
Bowie. Barring more snow, racing
was scheduled to resume tomor-
row, but no decision had been
made on whether .today's or to-
morrow's entries would be used.
Ofiicials at Charles Town re-

Taft Assoi|s Durkin Selection
In Break With Gen. Eisenhower:
Calls Appointment Incredible
Senator Describes
Labor Appointee as
Truman Democrat
By J. A. O'Leory

Senator Taft, Republican, OF
Ohio today denounced the ap-
pointment of Martin P. Durkin,
an AFL official. to be Secretary
of Labor. 1t was his first open
break with President-elect Eisen-
hover.
The author of the Taft-Hartley
labor law called Mr.. Durkin a
Truman Democrat" who advo-
Gated repeal of the labor law.
The Ohio Senator, in a state
ment released simultaneously at
his home in Cincinnati and at
his Office here, said the appoint
ment is an affront to millions
of union members who defled their
leaders by voting against Gov.
Stevenson.
Senator Taft himself is in Gin
cinnati.
Text Of Statement.
The text of his statement fol-
lows:
THE appointment of Mr.. Martin
P. Durkin is an incredible appoint
ment. This is no reflection on
the character or ability of Mr..
Durkin.
II had a number of talks with
Mr.. Herbert Brownell, who has
been the key man in cabinet ap-
pointments, and made several
recommendations of qualified
men. It was never even suggested
that a man would be appointed
who has always been a partisan
Truman Democrat, who fought
Gen. Eisenhower election, and
advocated the repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
1T is an affront to millions of
union members and officers who
had the courage to defy the edict
of officials like Mr.. Durkin that
they vote for Gov. Stevenson
This appointment leaves without
representation in the cabinet
those millions of Democrats, North
and South, who left their party
to support Gen. Eisenhower, and
gives representation to their
most bitter opponents"
Recommendation Ignored.
Only a few days ago, Senator
Taft remarked that the generals
choices for Cabinet posts had not
included anyone he had recon-
mended.
Senator Taft campaigned in
many States for Gen. Eisenhower's
election after his own defeat in
the G. o. P. convention in Chi
cago in July.
One of the things the Repub-
licans fought during the cam
paign was that declaration by
President Truman and others that
Gen. Eisenhower was more or less
under the control of Senator Taft.
There was no immediate COM
ment from Gen. EiSenhower's
headquarters on the Taft blast.
According to the Associated
Press, Republican officials and
Congress members here were wary
and cautious-if they commented
at all.
Arthur Summerheld, G. o. P.
national chairman who is to be
Postmaster General in the Eisen-
hover administration, said he
didn't want to comment.

Civilian Payroll Urged
By Dworshak Of Idaho
BY the Assoeioted Press

Senator Dworshak, Republican
Of Idaho said today he believes the
Republicans should be able to cut
the cost Of the Federal civilian
payroll by about So billion dollars
next year.
This would be a reduction of
more than 20 per cent Of the pres
ent sos billion dollar payroll. and
could result in the elimination of
about a half million jobs. The
Federal Government now has more
than rs million civilian workers.
Recalls Swelling Payroll.
Senator Dworshak told reporters
the present payroll is more than
five times what it was just before
World War II. And, he continued,
$4,000 employees have been added
since the Korean War started in
June, 1850.
The Senator declared that "a
large share Of these so-called
emergency jobs" can be elimi-
mated. Among others, he said he
would do away entirely with the
agencies which administer eco
nomic controls. after wiping out
the controls laws themselves.
Senator Dworshak also said he
believes the spending budget for
fiscal 1854 which begins next July
l could be cut to $40 billion even
If President Truman sends up a
budget as high as $85 billion.
Other sources have estimated
Mr.. Truman's proposed budget
may be around $50 billion.
Disagrees With Ramspeck.
Senator Dworshak said he did
not agree with a recent statement
by Chairman Robert Ramspeck Of
the Civil Service Commission that
the change In administrations
January 20 would affect only
about $500 jobs.
II don't think all those other
jobs are protected by civil service,
although it does afford some pro-
tection," he said, adding that he
believed many jobs can and should
be abolished.
Mr.. Ramspeck said November 16
a new President can hire or fire
about $500 top Federal workers,
and that between 10000 and $4,000
in all could be affected-apparent-
~ counting assistants and depu-
ties not appointed directly by the

Troop Rest Leaves Held Up,
Maybe for Eisenhower Visit
Ry the Associated Preas

SEOUL, Dec. 2.-Movement of
United States troops to Japan for
rest leave was under at least a
temporary suspension today, ap-
parently as part of the security
precaution for the impending visit
|of President-elect Eisenhower to
Korea.
Air Force officers said they were
not moving rest-bound troops
from Korean airports.
Belief that the suspension is
connected with the planned Eisen-
hover visit stems from the Army's
intent to limit movement to and
from Korea before and during his
stay.

BY the Associated Press

The White House today an
nounced a plan for keeping stand
ard radio stations on the air
during any air raids to maintain
a vital communication link with
the public. At the same time. the
plan would use their beams to
confuse enemy bombing missions
The novel master plan, which
goes into effect in three months
is in sharp contrast to the World
War II policy of silencing all
broadcasting during any such
emergencies. -..
The White HoAse said the idea
now is to get as many as pos
sible of the $500 standard radio
stations on the air during an
air raid, but with their frequencies
so shifted that they may not be
used as guides by planes or mis-
Siles.
Big Hole in Old Plan.
Civil Defense authorities have
always said the old plan for radio
silence had one big hole in it
the elimination of q vital means
of communication with the public
at time when they need it most
for instructions on what to do
next, for assembling emergency
crews, and for information on
what is going on in their area.
The revised approach, worked
out by the Air Force. Civil Defense,
Federal Communications Commits
sion experts. and the broadcasting
industry. makes it possible to have
cake and eat 1t too.
The program involves standard
radio stations only. During any
raids or alerts, all television. FM
radio and amateur radio opera
tions will still have to shut down
at once, because from an engineer
ing standpoint it has not been
found possible to integrate these
groups into what Is proposed.
Outline Of Plan.
For standard stations this is
the plan:
When any hostile force or pro-
jectile is detected to be approach
ing United States territory the
Air Defense Command will i'm
mediately notify basic key sta
tions, which will pass the word
down the line.
All participating standard sta
tions will at once leave their nor
NAL broadcasting frequencies and
shift to an emergency frequency,
which will be either $40 kilocycles
or 1910 kilocycles on the home
receiver dial.
The largest standard stations
some now operating with as much
as so killowatts power and which
send out a beam for many hun
dreds of miles-will promptly re-
duce power to not more than 10
kilowatts and possibly much less.
This will provide ample local COW
erage while greatly contracting
the length Of the beam.
Beam Can Be Moved.
AS further scramble, the
stations in many large cities will
be drawn into clusters" so that
a single announcer, standing in
one studio, can throw his voice
in sequence out over every trans
mitter in town, thus keeping that
city's beam on the move every
few seconds. The home listener,
