II can understand these pa

it seems rather fantastic to find
them criticizing our President

their policies.
Il certainly do not question
the right of any foreign news

CSC Defends Policy
On Firing Careerists

The Civil Service Commission
has defended its separated career
employe program as getting

there are now more jobless
careerists than there were sew
eral months ago.
The csc said in press re-
lease yesterday almost 600 separ-
ated careeriSts a month are be-
ing placed in new Federal jobs.
The commissions statement
apparently was in answer to the
charge made by Representative
Broyhill, Republican. of Virginia,
that the program was a failure.
Mr.. Broyhill asked President
Eisenhower to issue a directive
requiring agencies to hire jobless
career workers referred to them
by the commission.
The commission said it had
found jobs for 1.54O separated
careeristS in the Washington
area. Currently, there are 1,738
jobleSs career workers seeking
jobs, compared to 1856 who
were unemployed 60 days ago,
the commission added.
The csc said the increase is
due to the large number of Vet

who were laid off during the past

even with such a promise the

gested that this treaty which

This problem will be the
main topic on the NATO meet

son that without West Ger
many's contribution the Euro

worth much.
The Laniel cabinet is un-
able to make any move hence
forth because it must resign in
mid-January when a new Presi-
dent of France takes over from
Vincent Auriol, the present
head of state. The change in
the Elysee Palace has no polit-
ical consequences, since who-
ever is elected to that high Of

Nature of LoneI Regime and Red Overtures to France

Secretary of State Dulles
knows that he will find his
path strewn with political nails
rather than roses when the
NATO conference opens in
Paris. His difficulties will
spring from two sources:
Cd The Laniel government

CD The Muscovite propa-

The United States and

are convinced that this cannot
be done without including
Western Germany as a partner
