House Move Due to Recomn7it
Personnel Bill for Wider Cuts
By Joseph Youno

An effort will be made in the House this week to recomm

10 cent personnel slash imposed during
The situation closely pareels

impose a 10 to Is per cent per-
cent personnel cut below reduc-
tions already made on the House
floor, and the Senate-approved
Ferguson rider which imposed a
10 per cent personnel reduction
below budget estimates.
The conferees instead reduced
the personnel funds of each agency
on selective basis. The cuts were
not as severe as either of the
riders would have been.
Representative Jensen, Republi-
can, of Iowa, sponsor of the Jen-
sen rider, said he will move to
recommit the measure to confer
ence when it comes up for House
action this week. In this he will
be supported by Representatives
Taber of New York and Phillips
of California, Republicans, two of
the House conferees who refused
to sign the conference agreement.
Mr.. Jensen will seek to have
the conferees approve a compro-
mise rider whereby agency per-
sonnel funds will be trimmed IS
per cent below original budget
estimates. This would be done by
allowing the filling of only Is per
cent of personnel vacancies until
the Is per cent reduction is
achieved.
MILDER FORMULA - Should
the House vote to recommit the
bill, some personnel reduction
rider would have to be adopted.
If this proves to be the case.
the rider would not be as severe
as the original Jensen rider which
would impose Is to 20 per cent
cut on most independent bureaus.
Mr.. Jensen now proposes a Is per
cent cut below budget estimates. in
contrast with the Senate's 10 per
cent below-budget formula. In
either event this would not be too
severe, since most agencies had
asked in their budet estimates for
more employees than they now
have. Therefore. such a rider
would apply to a great extent to
new positions asked for and not
so much to present jobs. Some
agencies would be hit. but not
nearly as severely as would be the
case in the original Jensen rider.
Mr.. Jensen feels there is an ex-
chance that the bill will
be recommitted. On the other
hand. Chairman Cannon of the
House Appropriations Committee
says he will fight any move to re-
commit.
PRECEDENT-Besides the in
dependent agencies. other Federal
departments and bureaus are also
watching the outcome with close
interest. With the exception of the
Defense, Treasury and Post Of
flee Departments. most other
bureaus have had the Jensen and
Ferguson riders attached to their
1858 money bills by the House and
Senate.
House-Senate conferees on these
measures may also vote to kill
the riders. In that event, the
Houses action on the move to re-
commit the Independent Offices
bill will affect all bureaus. If the
move succeeds and some peronnel
cut rider is adopted, the same
formula probably will be applied to
the other departments as well.
Mr.. JenSen's proposed rider
would exempt the same units from
the vacancy filling ban formula

men repaired to the long, low.
ceilinged, dimly lit barroom that
ran all along one side of the eS-
Enlistment.
Clay and Burl had seated them
selves at one of the tables near
the middle Of the room. There
was buzz of talk all about them
broken by an occasional laugh OF
oath, for the baroom was almost
full of traders and teamsters, mer-
chants and Mexicans, hunters and
mountain men. many of whom
would be far out on the Santa Fe
trail before another week had
passed. II was the season of the
year when the great annual west
ern migration threw the frontier
town into :. frenzy of busting ex-
element that would change al
most magically to Somnolence and
inertia when the last wagon dis
appeared into the prairie
They had drunk the bottle dry
and Clay got up and walked across
to the bar to obtain a new one.
The bar was crowded and he
waited a minute. knowing that
men drinking at a bar shift and
cluster and change position and
that an opening would soon pre-
sent itself. Directly in front of
him three men were getting them
selves uproariously and danger
ously drunk. From the square

and their flannel shirts and leath-
er boots definitely marked them
as plainsmen, probably teamsters
or traders of the Santa Fee trail.
One Of them was telling a
bawdy story at the top of MS

moved into action so explosively
and so Unexpectedly that he
caught Clay by surprise, and as
his boot heel ground down on

acted instinctively. Like Sleep

struck out before he realized what
had happened. His right arm shot
up so that the back of the others

then. with sudden thrust that
had the power of a blow, he threw
his weight forward so that the
stranger was propelled against
the bar like sack of meal hurled
from wagon. The impact crushed
the air out of his lungs and he
hung for a moment. inert and
helpless across the edge of the
bar, struggling for breath.
The conversation in the room
stopped as suddenly as if it had
been cut off with a knife, and for
a space of time that seemed to
stretch out to ininity the two
men seemed to hang motionleSS
and paralyZed in a Smoke-flled
circle of suspended animation.
Then, with a great heave of his
heavy shoulders. the stranger
pushed himself away from the
bar and turned to face Clay, who
stood Just where he had when the
scuffie began, eyes bright and
alert, noStrils flaring with the ex-
pectation of attack.
The big man was still breathing
raucouSly, but his mouth was
twisted into snarl and his eyes
were narrow Sits of fury as he
surveyed Clay slowly from head
to foot.
Why" he said slowly. I'm 60
ing to stomp your bloody CUTS
into the floor for that!'
You'll stomp nothing" said
Clay contemptuouSly. you've
had one taste of trouble and
you'll get a sight more if you
keep asking for it.
He looked over the mans Shout
der at the bartender, who stood
transfixed and immobile.
Give me another bottle of
whiSkey." he said peremptorily,

The bartender's eyes never
left the scene before him, but he
reached down to the cupboard
below. located an unopened bot
tie. and placed it gingerly on the
bar. With a quick movement Clay
stepped forward. picked up the
bottle, and spinning on his heel,
started back to his table.
LIS sheer audacity and obvious
L i contempt for his opponent
had held the big man speeches.,
but just as Clay reached his table
he heard a sudden furry of move
ment behind him and in the same
instant caught Burl's high-pitched
shout of warning.
Watch him. Clayl He's got a
knife!"
Clay whirled and saw that his
enemy now held a dark, softly
shining bowie knife in his right
hand. It's blade was long as a

perately. Take it and protect

easily.
1t was a gesture of bravado and
he knew it, but behind it was the
serene assurance that there was
no man alive who could teach
him a great deal about the use
of knives. He had learned in a
hard school,. among the wild.
blood hungry Negroes who lived
on the back-country wilderness
acres of Brad's timberlands.
Scarcely a night had passed that
two of them had not carved each
other to ribbons in vicious
struggle; and Big Deni, their
Scared. battle trained chief, had
labored long and hard to teach
Clay the secret arts of the knife
that had enabled him to maintain
his own supremacy year after
year. Before he was done Clay
knew all the subtle. murderouS
tricks of thrust and parry, of cut
and slash. of guard and force. of
feint and attack. He knew how to
use a knife and, what was even
more important, he knew how to
defend himself against one even
when he was himself unarmed.
Standing now in the dusk and
smoke of YoSt's Tavern. he saw
that Royle was holding the hilt
so that the blade projected for
ward between the circle of his
thumb and forefinger, cutting
edge up, ready to launch the ter
rible upward slashing stroke that
plunged the blade deep into a

upward and across his body.
He nodded approvingly. 1t was

WASHINGTON Up - Stage and
screen star Judy Holiday told Sen.
ate investigators that in getting
mixed up with various Communist
fronts she was irresponsible and
more than slightly stupid.
When she had her eyes opened
to what was going on, she said,
she herself hired people to inves-

the Motion Picture Academy
Award in 1851 for her portrayal of
a dumb blonde in Born Yester-

Senate internal security sub
committee disclosed today that, at
closed-door sessions last spring, it
had questioned Miss Holiday, COM
edian Sam LevenSon. actor Philip
Loeb and singer Burl Ives.
The testimony of all four was
made public. II showed that they
all were asked about Communist
front organizations or activities
with which their names have been
linked. They swore they had never
knowingly taken part in any Com
munist movement.
Levenson ad Ives appeared be.
fore the subcommittee at their own
request.
The Senate group has been prob
ing for any subversive infiltration
of the radio, television and enter
tainment industries.
Today's second volume of testi.
mony, with still more to come,
was released by the subcommittee
without comment.
In an accompanying statement,
however, Chairman McCarran ID
New said that Communism fast
