the ElSeIllOWGT ICSAIAC.
The Republicans who have
studied the plan are generally
favorable to it. And they stres.
that there's a very good chancs
that Gen. Eisenhower will issue al
executive order to this effect wher
he becomes President. However
they feel that the new admins
tration should have the right Il
make the final decision on thu
matter.
Another angle that is expected
| to delay the programs issuance
| at this time is possible politica
ramifications. The fear is ex
pressed that some Republicans il
Congress might charge that thu
reserve status order was a last
minute move by the Truman ad
ministration to blanket in abou
400, 900 temporary indefinite EN-
ployes before the Eisenhower re
gime took over.
Those familiar with the pro
gram are convinced that this il
not the case. since the proposed
executive order has been in th'
works for nearly two years and j
the Democrats wanted to blanke
IN these employees for politica
reasons they could have done s.
a long time ago.
| However, it's felt that if sucl
an order is issued now, it coul
result in great harm to these EN-
ployes if a political issue wer
made of it next year. AS re
suit, the feeling seems to be tina
nothing much will be lost if tn
matter is put off until early mex
