blow and yet we are above the eight
thousand mark This was made pos-
sible because the faithful and loyal
presidents had a mind to work.
If each president viii decide that
he is going to do a certain amount
of business during 1853 we win Ger
tainly get something done
I believe that if ach president
will interest the members of his and
her lodge, to the extent that they
will pledge to add one member t,
the Association between now and the
Convention success will be ours. If
this can be done, and I believe that
there are some presidents who will
do it, we will take our rightful place
along other leading Fraternal Assoc
iations in the state.
We have gotten ont a formal let
ter to all presidents asking their un-

have also asked them to write an

ToAmend Hatch Act

Harrison Mann, Arlington
County Democratic leader, to-
day asked Virginia's two Sena-
tors and Republican Represent
ative Broyhill of the 10th Dis
trict to sponsor an amendment
to the Hatch Act so Govern
ment workers can participate in
party politics in local elections.
Mr.. Mann sent copies of a
proposed amendment to Mr..
Broyhill and Senators Byrd and
Robertson. The amendment
would require the Civil Service
Commission to permit Federal
workers to take part in partisan
politics at the local level in
those political subdivisions
where the commission allows
non-partisan activity.
"The present situation, where
by Government employees may
only participate in the election
of local officials if they organize
local third parties and oppose
the candidates of the national
political parties. is most un-
sound and highly discrimina-
tory" Mr.. Mann said.
Representative Small, Repub-
lican, Of Maryland. last week
introduced an amendment to the
Hatch Act to permit all Gov
ernment workers to take an ac-
tive part in political campaigns.
His bill would not restrict such
activity to local elections, how
ever.

RESERVE STATUS - The
AFL American Federation of
Government Employees has
joined with President Truman
in urging President-elect Eisen-
hover to approve the reserve
status plan for more than
100000 Government temporary
indefinite workers.
President Truman wrote to
President-elect Eisenhower last
Friday, urging him to issue the
proposed order as soon as pos
sible after taking Office. Mr..
Truman said he was not issuing
the order because political
implications will be read into
it," The order would give re-
serve status to employees who
passed civil service exams after
September, 1850, in order to
get their jobs. They would
eventually receive permanent
status.
James Campbell, AFGE presi-
dent. also dispatched a letter
to President-elect Eisenhower,
declaring that the order is badly
needed. He also stressed that
there are no political implica-
tions in the order and that the
employees have fully qualified for
their jobs by passing civil service
exams.

Point -Four Is Yielding
Good Results, Chief Says
By the Associoted Press

Stanley Andrews, President
Truman's point four" director,
has recommended that the Gov
ernment continue for another S
or 10 years it's program to aid
under-developed areas overseas.
Mr.. Andrews said the plan Mr..
Truman laid down in his inaug-
ural address four years ago has
started to yield "encouraging,
concrete results"
This progress can be seen by
any one who wants to look" Mr..
Andrews said in an interview.
He made plain his opinion
that any move to scuttle point
four or drastically change it un-
der the Republicans would hurt
the United States in its cold war
battle to stop communism.
Nearly 1,450 American techni-
clans are now working in 35 for
eign countries receiving point
four help, he said. He described
them as "shirt-sleeve ambassa-
dors" with the gift of helping
friendly people abroad toward

Republicans can do to force
them out.
However, most of the 900 other
GS-16 to 18 jobs were filled after
September, 1850, when the Gov
ernment went on a temporary
indefinite hiring basis. There
fore, even though some promoted
career employees are in these
jobs, they do not have perma-
nent status in the positions.
There is another group Of
super grade employees who are
not career workers but who were
appointed to jobs in the emer-
gency agencies as a result of
the Korean war.
These two groups Of employees
are vulnerable, especially those
in the emergency units such as
National Production Authority
Economic Sterilization Agency
and others.
Republicans plan to put many
Of their own appointeeS in these
positions. Employees in these
jobs who have status in lower
grade positions can probably be
reassigned to their old positions.
The others who entered Govern
ment during the past few years
are in danger of outright dis
miSsal.
One thing may hinder the
Republicans in filling these posi-
tions with the persons they
want. The jobs are under the
civil service classification act
and must be filled from civil
service registers.
However. since the Civil Serv-
ice Commission and the Execu-
tive Branch will be under Re-
publican control. there are a
variety of ways that regulations
can be circumvented. AS the
Republicans are saying, Where
there's will. there's a way"

Marines Are Makinq
Own Probe Of Error
Bombing in Korea
BY the AsSoeioted Press

TOKYO. Jan. 12.-The United
States Marines today started
their own new and independ-
ent" investigation of a strafing'
and bombing attack that killed
IA American soldiers and wound
ed nine on the Korean central
front last week.
An Air Force statement yes
terday indicated Panther jet
planes of the type used by Navy
and Marine pilots may have
been responsible. 1t further re-
ported Marine pilots were sched-
uled to attack the Reds north
and east of the scene on the day
of the mistaken attack.
A Marine spokesman in Tokyo
said the Marine Air Wing in
Korea sent its own investigators
to the scene to question wit
nesses and inspect the damage.
Were starting out from
scratch" he said, with a new
and independent inquiry"
Survey Conducted.
The Tokyo announcement was
made after an Air Force and
Army team surveyed the area,
8 miles behind the front line.
Orders from the Defense De-
partment in Washington broke
four days of official silence on
the attack.
The names of killed and
wounded have not been dis
closed.

ton established that an unex-
ploded 500-pound bomb at the

1t also said experienced wit
nesSes identified the planes as
Panther jets.
Asked if Leatherneck planes
were near the scene at the time,
a Marine spokesman said only:
THE Air Force says there
were."
Red Jets Rarely In Area.
No spokesman for any of the
three American services Sug-
gested the attacking planes
might have been Communist.
Red jets rarely get south of
Pyongyang. which lies about 100
miles north.
Survivors at the bombed artil-
lery service unit told investi-
gators they believed two or more
planes hit them but they could
not be sure because of the high
speed of the attackers. $ Fifteen
bombs were dropped.
In Washington, Defense De-
partment officials said the bomb
carrying capacity of the Panther
jet is secret. They said that
without precise information on
the number of planes involved.
they could not even speculate
in general terms whether the
attack was within the capabili-
ties of the Panther jets.

Former DPA Aide
Is Accused by Jury
OF Seeking Bribe

A former Defense Production
Administration official was in
dicted today on charges of sug-
costing to an agent of two Cali
fornia corporations that he would
help them get contracts from
the DPA in return for $1,000 a
month and transfer of a per-
centage of stock.
Samuel D. Perlman, Sc, of the
1900 block of Missouri avenue
NV, was named in the indict-
ment.
The contract would have in
volved a program for the con-
servation and redistribution of
strategic aircraft material.
The indictment charges that
the suggestion was made to w.
Reginald U. Wood, who repre-
sented the Industrial Aids, Inc,
and Conservation Engineers, Inc,
California concerns.
It accused Perlman of asking
that Is per cent of the stock
of those organizations be turned
over to the Conservation Re-
search Engineering Co., of which
Perlman was said, to be principal
stockholder.
In another case Dyke Collum,
So, a Washington stock Specu-
lator, was reindicted on charges
of stealing and embezzling 400
shares of stock valued at $4,000
in 1851. The indictment charges
that the stock was the property
of the Orvis Bros. and Co., stock
brokers for which Collum was
the agent.
The indictment furth e r
charges that Collum falsely rep
resented that he had legal title
to the stock and sold it later
for $4,000 to the former Robert
c. Jones and Co.
The true bill was returned as
a substitute indictment only a
few minutes after an indictment
returned against Collum last
March had been dismissed.
Today's indictment contained
only three counts as against six
in the dismissed indictment. A
charge of using the mail to de-
fraud was omitted in the new in
dictment.

New R0K Division
Beats Off Fierce
Communist Attack
By the Associoted Press

SEOUL, Jan. 12.-The heavi-
est Red assault of the new year
smashed against the lines of a
newly-activated South Korean
division today. The allied SOL
diers held their ground, killed
an estimated 213 of the attack
ing 800 Reds, and forced the
Communists into retreat after
three hours of savage close
quarter fighting.
Battles f1ared with renewed
bitterness al along the frozen
Korean front. Altogether the
Reds hurled nearly 1,500 men
into the fighting in bloody but
futile attempts to dent the
United Nations lines in pre-
dawn darkness.
The United States 9th Army
said the main Red blow fell
against the Republic of Korea

The eastern front fighting
flared northeast of the Punch

through snowstorm with $50
men in one attack and $50 more
in another assault just to the
east. Both battles opened just
after midnight.
The Communists stormed for

ing artillery and mortar fire.
Allied soldiers met their charge
with tank fire, rifles, machine
