NPA 10 Fire 1,4OO
Here, All 500 in
Field by June 80
By Joseph Young

The National Production Ad-
ministration will fire 1000 of its
3.1OO employees by June 80.
The staff of $500 employees in
Washington will be reduced to
about loo.
All of the 600 jobs in the field
will be abolished.
Some of the dismissal notices
will be issued within the next
few days. The bulk of the lay
offs are expected to occur before
May Is.
The layoffs are due to the cur
tailment of NPA's activities in
the field of production controls.
Even the LOO employees in
Washington who are slated to
remain will lose their jobs if
Congress doesn't extend the Ma
tional Production Act by June
80. In his State-of the Union
message to Congress, President
Eisenhower indicated that some
extending controls would be
sought, but the administration
since then has not said Specifl-
cally what will be done.
All of the 600 field jobs will
be abolished because they are
of an enforcement nature and
will not be needed due to the
lifting of most controls, NPA Of
ficialS said.

Meanwhile, Mr.. Shvernik-
quick and almost without notice
ends his job as President Of
the Soviet Union, a title which
means little more than that Of
official handshaker. This goes
to Klementy Voroshilov, a tipsy
old man who was Stains buddy
in the bloody days of the civil
war. 1t is strictly honorary:
Marshal Voroshilov means little
to the new Soviet regime.
The West can expect to cold

what the Soviet propagandists
call the colonial and dependent
countries" The Soviet is going

neutralize Americas possible
allies, to kick up turmoil wher-
ever possible and to keep the
world in a state of ferment

to give them the time they want

May Act 10 Fill More
| Jobs in Civil Service

Senate Majority Leader Taft
indicated today President Eisen-
hower'S order withdrawing civil
service status from several hun
dred policy-making JOBS may not
be the only step taken by the
Republicans in that direction.
The Ohioan praised the Eisen-
hover order, but said { congress
may consider legislation that
would enable the new admins
tration to fill more jobs now pro-
tected by civil service.
Won't Hit Revenue Collectors.
AS an illustration, he said he
does not believe the Eisenhower
order will reach collectors of in
ternal revenue. The Senator said
his understanding is that the
Presidents action will affect only
about 10 top-ranking policy jobs
in each department.
Meanwhile, Arthur S. Flem-
ming, acting defense mobilizer,
called on all Democratic hold
overs in policy-making jobs to
resign and allow the new adj
ministration to appoint its own
advisers. He said if they are
in policy-making jobs they
should do this, regardless Of
whether they have civil service
status.

Senator Humphrey, Democrat,

once the Republicans start pick
ing away at civil SERVICE" they
will soon get down to where
they want to go-the postmasters
and rank and file patronage

Mr.. Flemming also called for

preference laws and said that
100000 Federal workers who
have not passed competitive
examinations do not deserve
civil service job protection.

Society for Public Administra-
ton, Mr.. Flemming said he was
expressing personal views, but

placed at their heads men who
know their jobs. The number of
ministries has been cut down
considerably by the mergers in
what looks like an effort to end
the confusion in the Soviet bu-
reaucracy.
The new premier proved him

ness organizer during and after
World War II when he accom-
plished monumental jobs of re-
construction and rehabilitation

Publishers Combat
Taft Act Changes
Sought by Printers
BY the Assoeiefed Press

NEW YORK. Mar. THE
American Newspaper Publishers
Association has sent to all United
States Senators a memorandum
of its views on proposals which
it said would exempt the Inter-
national Typographical Union
from certain Taft-Hartley Act
provisions. -.
In letter to Senators, Gran
ston Williams, ANPA general
manager, noted arguments adj
vanced by the ITU in seeking
amendments to exempt the union
from closed shop and other bar
gaining provisions of the act.
Calling attention to the memo
randum, he told the Senators
there is another side Of the pic
ture."
The memorandum said one
proposal would make Taft-Hart-
ley provisions inapplicable to
bargaining and contract prac-
tices which have been in effect
for Is years or longer. It COM
mented:
If this should be adopted,
publishers will readily recog-
nize that it will restore to the
ITU complete control over their
composing room operations"
Court Decisions Cited.
This control, the ANPA said,
has been condemned by the
courts in some legal proceed
ings involving the union.
Furthermore" the memoran-
dunn said, such an amendment
would validate the ITU bargain
ing practices of insisting upon
recognition of ITU laws by pub
fishers whatever those laws may
be as of January l in any bar
gaining year. These laws are
not confined to internal union
matters but are deliberately de-
signed to seize for the unions
complete control over composing
room operations.
The ANPA said the ITU has
def1ed the Taft Hartley Act for
nearly six years, has spent $40
million in Campaign of de-
f1ance," and that none of it's
officers from the local to the
international level has filed the
anti-CommuniSt affldavitS" re-
quired by the act.
Peaceful Intent Denied.
Referring to what it called
"protestationS of the ITU that
1t is a democratic and peaceful
labor organization" the memo
randum said the record demon
StrateS exactly the contrary.
1t said that between 1947 and
1851 the ITU called 50 strikes
against rs newspapers. or y per
cent of all strikes called against
newspapers in that period of
time"
Not a single one of these
strikes was called for economic
reasons" the memorandum
stated.
1t added that by provisions of
TTU general laws no local union
can submit a contract or con-
slider an employers proposal for
a contract until it obtains clear
ance from the international
president of the union.

In fact, he is largely an unknown
at home. There will be forces
at work inside and outside the
government which would be hap
py to throw him out. He is
aware of this.
Announcements demanding
the greatest solidarity of lead
ership" and warning of the i'm
possibility of any disorder or
panic whatsoever" bespeak his
intention to be ruthless in his
suppression of anything which
smackS of opposition.
In the foreign field he will
give he West no rest. Premier
Malenkov does not want q big
fight and will avoid it, but he
will not relax the war of attri-
ton.

This is singularly UNDERSIGNED
in his appointment of V. Kuz-

he who has been bossing the

IMoIenkov Plotted to Succeed Stain
BY the Associotsd Press

Soviet RusSia's new boss
Georgi Maxmilianovich Malen-
kov-is a man of action. He
showed that in the speed with
which he moved into Josef
Stains shoes.
For years the chubby, beetle
browed man whom Stain nodded
into a model Communist, plotted
to succeed his boss.
There is little doubt that Pre-
mier Malenkov figured some time
ago that Stains final days were
nearing and schemed accord
ingly.
When the end came he ap-
parently acted swiftly.
His appointment as chairman
Of the Council Of Ministers, the
key government job held by
Stain, means that he has firmly
grasped one of the real controls
of power in the Kremlin and
probably has his hands firmly
on others as well.
Product Of Communism.
Premier Malenkov is a product
of the soviet dictatorship Stain
shaped. Only 81, he has known
nothing but communism since
early adolescence. All his adult
life he has spent as q Commu-
mist surrounded by Communists.
Communist teachers and Com
munist writer's have given him
his conception of the Western
world and Of democracy. These
teachings have taught him to be
granite-hard, but cautious in his
external approach.
The few Western diplomats
who have talked to him found
him a grim, forbidding man who
gave one dominant impression
hatred for the Western world.
Barely seen in public, except
on state occasions, Premier Ma
lenkov has seldom been known
to relax. Unlike most Russians,
who are convivial drinkers and
good mixers. Malenkov sips wine
and watches the others carouSe.
Aping Stain, he invariably
wears the party tunic, buttoned
up to the neck, with his trousers
tucked in his boots.
Power Apparent in Speech. -
His elevation to the prime
ministry over the heads of older
BolshevikS did not surprise many
observers. His designation last
fall as keynote speaker at the
18th party congress demonstrate
ed clearly that he was recog-
niZed as the outstanding figure
under Stain in both party and
government affairs.
His speech lambasting the
party for mistakes and short
comings" showed the elements
of a successful bidder for his
leaders mantle. The tumultouS
reception he received from Con-
gress members-second only to
that accorded Stalin-Showed
the position of power he had
attained.
Premier Malenkov was born
at Orenburg in the Urals in
1902. He was too young to take
part when the Russian revolu-
