LEAVE-There'S been so much
confusion regarding one aspect of
the new leave accumulation ban
law that we'll repeat an item car
ried several weeks ago.
Federal workers who, for any
reason, leave their jobs between
now and next June 30 will receive
cash for all of their 1852 annual
leave. There have been a lot of
unfounded reports that this leave
would be lost If not used in the
case of employees leaving the Gov
eminent before next June 80.
This is not correct. Both the
controller general and the Civil
Service Commission say these en-
ployes are entitled to cash for their
unused 1852 leave. It's only after
next June 80 that unused annual
leave will be Cancelled. If you leave
the Government before then, you
will get credit for your unused
1852 annual leave.

Hartman Declares
Republican Platform
Is 'Unconvincinu'
BY the Asseeiat.d Press

DETROIT, July 1l.-Averell
Hartman. candidate for the Dem
ocratic presidential nomination,
thinks the 1852 Republican plat
form IS lone Of the most uncon-
vincing documents of all time"
Mr.. Hartman told a press con-
ference yesterday he understood
that the foreign policy plank Of
the platform was drawn by John
Foster Dulles. adding:
ut is extremely adroit in cover
ing up the well known differences
existing between Hoover, Taft,
Eisenhower, Macarthur and others.
"Affirmatively it favors what the
Truman administration has been
doing. When many Republi-
cans are on record as opposing it."
Two Days Of Conferences.
Here for two days Of conferences
to bolster his hopes Of grabbing
of Michigan delegates currently
pledged to Gov. G. Mennen Will
hams on the first ballot in the
Democratic presidential voting,
Mr.. Hartman said he would re-
turn to New York Sunday and 60
to New Jersey Monday.
Pledged to about support of
both the New Deal and Fair Deal
programs Of the late President
Roosevelt and President Truman,
the former Ambassador to Moscow
termed the Republican platform
"laughable" in saying that Gen.
eralissimo Stain was waiting for
this country to go broke"
What Stain wants." Mr.. Har-
riman said. "are Republican reac-
tionarieS in power"
Says Dulles Backed Hiss.
Taking up another section of the
Republican platform, the Mutual
Security director said he noted
where 1t stated that only the Dem
ocratic Party had been inflltrated
by Communists.
Mr.. Hartman then told the
press conference that Mr.. Dulles
was a member of the board of the
Carnegie Foundation for Inter-
national Peace and was among
those supporting employment Of
Alger Hiss as director. Hiss held
the job when he was indicted for
lying about never having been a
Communist.
Asked what Republican candi-
date he would least like to see
nominated. Mr.. Hartman replied:
1T makes no difference. So far
as I'm concerned they're all Re-
publicans. They would try to
block social and economic prog
ress we have been making over
the last 20 years."

On Unifying Germany

The Western powers have sub
mitted to Russia Big Four
meeting proposal which American
lofficials believe will test the sim
cerity of Moscow's demands for
a unified Germany.
The proposal, delivered yester-
day, calls for a meeting limited
to the specific purpose of Great
ing an impartial commission to
determine whether free elections
can be held throughout divided
Germany.
This was the one new feature
in identical notes from the United
States. Britain and France which
represented the sixth round in a
wordy diplomatic exchange going
on since last March.
Moscow called then for an
urgent meeting of the occupation
powers to take up again the broad
question Of making peace with q
unified Germany. move West
lern diplomats at the time inter-
Ipreted as mere propaganda.
Condition Repeated.
In the new proposals, the West
laid down once more the condi-
tion Russia must agree in advance
that any general peace settle
ment be based first upon genu-
inely free elections in the Soviet
zone. and then to the creation Of
a free alderman government
which would have voice in franz
ing the peace treaty.
Moscow thus far has side
stepped any such agreement and
many diplomatic authorities doubt
the Kremlin will accept the
latest terms.
But the Western proposal left
the way open for counter-propos-
ais, and American officials be-
lieve that in any event Soviet
reaction win be useful In guiding
public opinion in this country and
in Western Europe.
No Delay I'm Agreements.
The proposal, made after con-
sultation with West German
Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, will
not delay ratification of the sepa-
rate contractual relations agree
lment and the six-nation European
Defense Community treaty. What
lever Moscow may do. these pacts
are aimed at bringing the Bonn
regime into the Western defense
lineup. Officials expect them to
be ratified by the end Of the year.
The 1,500-word note was in re-

In addition to restating the West
