Eisenhower Gusts
Two Democrats From
War Claims Agency
Appoints Republicans;
Fired OfficiuIs Claimed
Right to Finish Terms

President Eisenhower today
summarily removed the remain
ing two Democratic members of
the War Claims Commission who
had refused to resign and re-
constituted the agency with
three Republicans. The dismis-
sails are effective at midnight to-
night.
Daniel F. Cleary, another
Democrat, who had headed the
three-member commission, died
in Chicago several days ago. He
also had refused to quit office.
There was no immediate re-
action from the ousted commits
sioners, Mrs. Georgia L. Lusk and
Myron Weiner, who had con-
tended they had a right to hold
their jobs until the commission
goes out of business March 81,
1855. Mrs. Lusk said merely that
the removal notices had been re-
ceived this morning.
New Officials Listed.
The new Republican appoint
eeS-Who must be confirmed by
the Senate-are:
Mrs. Pearl Carter Pace, 81, of
Burkesville, KY, a former school
teacher and the first woman
sheriff elected in her home
county. A former member of
the Kentucky State Republican
Committee, she is now an en-
ploye of the Ashland Oil Co.
Whitney Gillilland, 40, law
yer and farmer of GlenWopd,
Iowa, who now is Assistant Sec
retary of Agriculture. He for
merly was Iowa G. o. P. chair
man.
Raymond T. Armbruster, At, a
YonkerS, N. Y, lawyer.
The commission was set up in
1949 by President Truman to
handle the claims of civilian
prisoners of the Japanese. Salary
of commissioners is $4,000 a
year.
Former COngreSSwOman.
Mrs. LuSk is a former member
of Congress from New Mexico
and Myron Weiner is a New
York attorney.
While no reason was assigned
at the White House for the
custer, it was learned that the
President advised the two Demo-
Gratis that he wanted to COM
plete the administration of the
War Claims Act with personnel
of his own choice.
The White House originally
called for the designations in
September.
Like Previous Action.
The dismissals correspond
with the action taken by the
Eisenhower administration in
July in ousting Democratic
members of the International
Claims Commission who like
wise refused to get out on re-
quest.
The international commission,
now stated by Republicans,
handles the claims of American
citizens growing out of the ma
tionalization of property by the
governments of Yugoslavia and
Panama.

Hope Expressed
Al White House
On Atomic Pool
Leaders Voice Wish
Reds Will Go Along
After Initial Goodness
By Joseph A. Fox

The White House today ex-
pressed the opinion that the
initial Soviet rebuff to President
EiSenhower'S atomic energy
pooling plan did not "neces-
sarily represent the considered"
decision of Russian leaders.
A statement issued by Press
Secretary James c. Hagerty said

that this country is still hopeful
that on further consideration
the Soviet government will rec
ognlze the Presidents proposal
for an atomic energy pool for
peaceful purposes was a serious
effort toward atomic peace"
Text of Statements.
The statement follows:
I'VE do not believe that i'm
mediate reactions to President
Eisenhower's atomic proposal
necessarily represent the con-
sidered decision of the Soviet
government.
After all. the President al
ways recognized that his sug-
gestion would require thought
full study. Therefore, any "a
hour reaction by Soviet officials
or by Soviet propaganda media
cannot be accepted as anything
more than stop gap, interim
statements.
I'VE are still very hopeful that
the Soviet leaders will recognize
the Presidents proposal for what
it iS-a serious and feasible first
step toward atomic peace"
BOhIen to Deliver Text.
The State Department said,
meanwhile, that Ambassador
Charles E. Bohlen will deliver a
text of the Presidents speech
to the Soviet Foreign Office,
Stressing the special character of
the Presidents proposal as a
serious and feasible step toward
atomic peace"
Other American missions
abroad have been instructed to
present copies of the speech, at
their discretion, to the govern
mentS of the countries where
they are working.
The State Department also
announced plans for a special
merican-British-French group
of experts to begin work in Paris
next Wednesday in preparation
for the proposed Four Power
foreign ministers conference
with Russia in Berlin next
month.
The American officials on the

Reds Demonstrate
In Hall as Marshall
Gets Peace Prize
Nobel Ceremony in Oslo
Interrupted by Shouts
And Shower of Leaflets
BY the Associoted Press

OSLO, Norway, Dec. 10
Communist demonstrators shout
ing "ttis is no peace candidate"
today interrupted the formal
ceremonies awarding the 1858
Nobel Peace Prize to Gen. George
c. Marshall.
A stunned audience at the
Oslo University festival watched
as the demonstrators showered
anti-Marshall leaflets upon
them.
The audience had come to
witness the presentation to Gen.
Marshall in recognition of the
SIT billion postwar European aid
plan which bore his name.
A group of about 20 young
Communists, who sneaked into
the gallery despite a check at
the entrance. shouted in unison:
This is not peace candidate.
Marshall go home" The leaflets
were headed with the words 1--WE
protest."
Police Rush to Galleries.
Police rushed to the galleries
and quickly overpowered the
demonstrators.
The interruption came as
Gunnar jain, president Of the
Norwegian Nobel Committee,
started to read the official cita-
ton scroll. A gold medal and
$33,8 in prize money were also
awarded to Gen. Marshall.
French Ambassador Louis de
Monicault was present to &C
cept the 1852 peace prize on be-
half of DR.. Albert Schweitzer,
famed African jungle doctor,
humanitarian, philosopher and
musical authority.
When things quieted down
Mr.. jain calmly continued his
speech and handed the Nobel
scroll and gold medal, both en-
cased in gold-stamped green
leather, to Gen. Marshall.
AS the general accepted TIE
prize, the audience rose and ap-
plauded loudly for several min
utes. Face tense, and giving
his words extra emphasis, Gen.
Marshall briefly voiced his graf
itude for the honor shown him,
saying:
81 accept this honor with pro-
found gratitude. not so much
for myself as particularly on
behalf of the American people,
who made it possible to realize
the European recovery pro-
gram"
Atomic Deaths Recalled.
The Communist leaflets de-
scribed Gen. Marshall as "the
man who decisively contributed
to the atomic death of 100000
people in Hiroshima and Naga-
saki," and who contributed to
the division of the world in two
hostile blocks by launching his
Marshall plan and the Atlantic
pact"
StreamerS were thrown also
from the gallery with the words
"Nagasaki and Hiroshima and
Go Home, Marshall"
A young man in his early 20s
was among those arrested. He
insisted to reporters he had car
ried out his part of the demon
stration of his own free will and
had no accompliceS.
Gen. Marshall escorted 81
year-old King Haakon VII from
the hall at the end of the cere-
mony. The King was obviously
upset over the Communist DEM
onstration.
Gen. Marshall, who will be 70
on December 81. was the 18th
American to win the peace prize,

himself as a Senate Crime Com
mittee Office manager was being
studied yesterday by Judge
Charles F. Mclaughlin in the

Judge Mclaughlin, recently
dismissed an indictment against

United States Attorney Fred

case was based on admissions the

fauver Crime Committee.
Action was dropped because
such statements are privileged

However, Mr.. Smithson said
yesterday he had failed to bring
out that fact that the admissions
were not made under oath and
before an official meeting of the
committee.
They were made, the prosecu-
tor said. in an informal confer

Union Sues Pennsy
In Laying Up Of Ferry
BY the AsSocioted Press

21.-A $500,000 claim has been
filed against the Pennsylvania
Railroad on behalf of employees
who lost their jobs when the
ferry Elisha Lee was laid up.
But, a spokesman for mari

The claim was filed yesterday
with the company's general
manager and division superin-

cedure agreed upon in the Rail-
way Labor Act, the spokesman
said. One of the grounds for
the claim, the spokesman added,
was that the railroad had wrong

Elisha Lee, instead of using the
laid-off employees.

Little has been said about

Resentment is Snowballing
among many of the city de-

complained directly to the

they consider the ''inquisi-
torial" approach Of those con-
Quoting the study interviews.
At least one long-Service de-
partment chief is considering
offers from another big city
and another is lining up job
outside the District Building.
Nevertheless. General Ad-
niniStration Director Schuy-
Ter Lowe, who bosses the
revamping program, has
wrapped up about a dozen Of
the studies which eventually
viii cover about 95 agencies
at an overall cost of around
81 million. This week could
see some developments.
In the minds Of some
agencies. a struggle for self
preservation is developing.
They have seen the once pow
erful and policy-making Office
Of auditor reduced by Mr..
Lowe to an accounting status.
It may well happen to others.
Adding salt to- anticipated
wounds is the fact that since

normally go Democratic. The
way to get results, he said,
was to put up states at elec.

your counties" he told the
State committee. you haven't
done your jobs" As far as his
home area Of Fulton County
(Atlanta) is concerned, MIR.
Tuttle predicts that there will
be several Legislature candi-
dates on the Republican ticket
in 1854.
In Columbus. Georgia's third
city, the Republicans have put
up candidates for county COM
missioners for the first time
since the Civil War.
The party also decided at
the meeting to go into the
scores of counties where no
Republican Party exists and
set up organizations. Policy
and platform units also were
created, looking toward the
1854 elections.
As a further hint Of the
party's plans, q committee
was appointed to study the
election laws of Georgia to
determine their possible effect
on the organization of a strong
State G. o. P.

A method Of dispensing pa

out at the meeting, after con-

through the district chairman,
the State chairman, the Re-

refer the applicant to the ap-s

dations gets the appointment.
