ments to be made up to the level
of September, 1850. the commits
sion has allowed only a handful
of these appointments.
But the new Whitten rider
which eases the promotion curbs
considerably, may bring about a
big change in the Governments
civil service system.
For one thing, the temporary
indefinite hiring system and the
permanent promotion ban has
caused a drop Of about 10000
permanent status Federal en-
|ployes since September. 1850.
Then, too, the commission pre-
|viously has been reluctant to au-
|thorize permanent appointments
because of the ban on permanent
promotions. If permanent ap-
pointments had been allowed, it
would have resulted in newly
hired employees having job reten-
ton rights in future reduction
|in-force programs over many per-
manent status employees who had
been promoted or transferred on
Ia temporary indefinite basis.
It's true that this latter group
of employees have job re-employ-
ment rights to their old positions,
but they would have had to have
been dismissed from their present
positions ahead Of newcomers II
newly appointed employees were
given permanent status appoint
ments.
Now. however. the situation has
changed. With a considerable
number Of permanent promotions
scheduled to be allowed as a re-
Isult of Congress revision Of the
Ioriginal Whitten rider, some per-
manent appointments can also be
made, without inequities to pres
Ient employees.
The new development ha
caused the commission to post
pone, for a while, its contemplated
program of giving probationar.
indefinite status to temporary in
definite employees who have OBJ
tanned Federal jobs through civi
service exams since September !

expenses rose to $247,234 VS.
$215,278.
The report cited changes made
in the 1851 financial statements,
primarily in the rearrangement
of the balance sheet, which placed
accumulated depreciation on the
assets side as deduction from
the property account instead Of as
an offsetting item on the liabilities
side. Capital stock and surplus
were brought together to form
stockholders equity section under
liabilities.
Results of the Glen Echo Park
operations were separated from
transit operations, so that they
did not appear in operating rev.
enues or expenses. Net income
from that source was added be-
low net operating income from the
transit property.
The Glen Echo change affected
the comparisons of simplif1ed
operating statements for 1851

did not disturb the fact that the
1851 bill was well below 1949 and
enly slightly above 1850. Addi-
tion of the parks labor bill OF
something less than total ex-
penses could not have eliminated
the difference of more than 81
million between 1851 and 1949,
nor could it have added much to
the apparent rise of less than

and 1850, when it was taken into

u. 5. Refuses 10 Lend
Iran Fund 10 Make Up
For Oil Revenue Loss

The United States made clear
today that it will not lend Iran
money to make up the loss of oil
revenues resulting from Trans
dispute with Great Britain.
Iranian Premier Mossadegh
asked for a $120 million credit
when he visited Washington last
fall.
The State Department said to-
day this Government has told
Iran "it could not justify aid OF
the type requested at a time when
Iran has the opportunity Of re-
ceiving adequate revenues from its
oil industry without prejudice to
its national aspirations"
Iran nationalized her oil indus
try last year, expelling technicians
of the Anglo -Iranian Oil Co.
which had been operating the big
industry.
Mediation Unsuccessful.
The United States attempted to
mediate the Iranian-British dis
pute without success.
A World Bank mission has been
in Iran recently striving to work
out some basis for resuming oil
production, but the Mossadegh
government so far has turned
down it's proposals which report
edly involved the use Of British
technicians.
Premier Mossadegh was quoted
in dispatches from Iran earlier
this week as saying the United
States had refused him financial
aid because he would not accept
British proposals for settling the
oil dispute.
The State Department denied
this today. asserting that the
United States has not made
Iranian acceptance of "any par
ticular proposals" a condition for
financial aid.
Settlement Is Possible. ,
The department added, how
ever:
1.-THE United States has con-
sistently maintained that a settle
ment is possible in which the
legitimate interests of both Iran
and the United Kingdom will be
protected and which will make the
resumption of the oil industry
operation feasible and practicable
from the economic viewpoint"
The explanation of rejection OF
the Iranian loan request, officials
said, applied only to the Iranians'
plea for help in meeting its bud
getary problems growing out OF its
loss of oil revenues. A separate
long-pending Iranian application
for a $25 million Export-1mport
Bank. loan to finance irrigation
and other agricultural develop
ment projects still is under con-
sideration.

Both Factions Predict

CLEVELAND. Dec. 11.-Both

showdown scheduled at a stock
holders meeting next Thursday.
A new slate of IL directors will

Hank Greenberg, employed as
general manager at $65,000 a year,
now seems assured of keeping his
job, regardless of the outcome.
Ellis Ryan, the clubs 48-year-
old president, startled those pres
suring him to quit when he an
nounced yesterday that his fac
ton, including five other directors,
had decided to fight to retain con-
troll.
Ryan offered two surprises. He
claimed control of so per cent of
the stock and stated he would
keep Greenberg, whose contract
has two years to go. Previously,
lit was understood that one of the
causes of the strife was Ryan's at
tempt to take over some of Green
berg's duties.

countered by calling for the stock
holders meeting and repeated ixs
claim of majority control. This
faction includes six directors.
