Star Stoff Correspondent

CLEVELAND, Nov. 18.-Secre-
tary of Labor Mitchell arrived in
town today on the difficult as
signment of trying to win friends
for the Eisenhower administra-
ton at the CIO convention.
The "baby" member of the
cabinet, who has been in Office
only five weeks, will make his
first major address to the con-
vention this afternoon. It was
sort of Administration Day"
here. Secretary of State Dulles
preceded Mr.. Mitchell on the
platform.
MIR. Mitchell, who talked over
his mission with President Eisen-
hover before leaving Washing
ton, faced a tremendous task.
But his words were awaited Gag
erly by the CIO delegates and
the reception he gets depends on
what he tells them.
Meeting Hostile So Far.
This meeting so far has shown
not only GOODNESS but hostility
as we'll toward the Republican
national regime. President Els
enhower's message, in which he
promised revision of the Taft
Hartley Act. which labor wants
badly, was read Monday in stony
silence. Administration policies
of almost every type have been
attacked from start to finish.
And the delegates were stirred
to wild applause yesterday when
speakers suggested the resigna-
ton of Attorney General Brow
nell and Secretary of Agricul-
ture Benson.
The truth is that the person.
able Mr.. Mitchell is regarded
much more highly here than the
administration he represents.
But whether the burly and very
Irish cabinet officer will be able
to break through the chill which
has greeted every reference to
Washington was something else
again. The labor delegates do
not associate Mr.. Mitchell with
the "big business" bloc they say
controls the Government these
days. but still he is a member
of the administration family.
Hope for Details.
1t was hoped MI. Mitchell
would describe in detail Gen.
Eisenhower's plans for asking
Congress in January to change
Taft-Hartley. But there was
doubt that he would because the
last word was the program had

they want an executive order
issued requiring agencies to hire
displaced careerists referred to
them by the csc. Under the
present program the agencies
are not required to hire jobless
career workers. They can pro-
mote from within or hire out
SiderS.
With nearly 10000 indefinite
employees still on the job the
career workers feel it would be
easy to find positions for the
$50 unemployed careeriSts. In
cidentally. the number of job

to 1850 soon, when 900 employees
now losing their jobs register
for the separated career en-
ploye program.
A top commission official had
this to say:
Il agree that the program has
stalled. I hope l can convince
my colleagues that something
should be done about it,"
Another top commission official
promised that I'VE will take an
other look at the program to
see what Is wrong"
'INHUMAN"-Alton Murray,
chairman of the Federal Civil
Service Separated Career EN-
ployes Association, brands the
commissions attitude as lin
human"
Mr.. Murray and other Sepa-
rated career workers are sharply
critical of the fact that the COM
mission gives them no inkling
whatever as to the agencies to
which their names are referred
for possible displacement of an
indefinite worker.
Only if an agency wants an
interview does an employe know
that his name has been referred.
If the agency decides against
interviewing the employe, he
never learns that his name has
been referred for placement.
Nor are the employees allowed
to consult with the commission
and to try to match their Skills
for job vacancies they think they
can fill.
IF we were allowed to see the
list OF jobs held by indefnites
and the skills required. then we
could determine which positions

White House aides and others
have been working on it since
last February.
1t is only in Secretary Dulles
baillwick-the field of interna-
tional relations-that the CIO
warns up at all to any of the
Eisenhower policies. The dele
gates have had some kind words
to say about the administration
continuing the policies of the
Truman administration in the
field of world affairs"
But a resolution passed by the
meeting today was highly criti-
cal of the operations of the

ter of America to the workers
abroad"
Perhaps the speech most en-
Enthusiastically received so far was
made late yesterday by Fred v.
Heinkel, president of the Mis-
souri, Farmers Association. He
attacked categorically almost
every administration farm action
and drew loud applause. At the
end he called for labor and the
farmers to get together for po-
litical action.

and formally opened the drive to

ray declares. "
"The entire program is
shrouded in secrecy. It is this
factor that is so discouraging
to u.s."
Another displaced career en-
ploye had this to say:
Judging from the commits
sion's sorry record in the pro-
gram. I also feel sorry for any
present Federal employe who
might lose his job in the future.
The failure of the program shows
that the commission is not able
to find jobs for career workers
who lose their positions in econ
omy programs.
Mr.. Murray complained that
the CSC has never given a COM
plete breakdown of the program
in terms of the salary grades of
employees placed, as we'll as how
many of them required commits
sion help and how many found
jobs on their own.
A top commission Official can
didly admitted that many of the
TOO displaced careerists who
obtained new jobs found the
positions on their own. Also,
he said, most of the 700 were in
the type of lower-grade jobs that
are not too difficult to find.
AS for career employees in the
better-paying positions, the Off
clal said that, of 200 placements
that had come to his attention,
only one was as high as a GS-12

Of freedom" so that other

IF our example can illumine
again the great advantages of a

then Soviet communism will

thermore, it will lose its grip
upon the enslaved whom it now

Where we exercise restraint it
