White Case Is Different
Now, Mrs. Roosevelt SAYS
BY the Associoted Pres,

SEATTLE, Nov. 11.-A change
has occurred in the Nations
moral climate" Mrs. Eleanor
Roosevelt said yesterday, placing
the case of Harry Dexter White
In a different perspective from
1946.
The wife of the late President
said she had not been acquainted
with White and feels that the
fact he is dead makes the cur
rent furore over him the more
unfortunate" because "the dead
cannot defend themselves. b
She said in an interview she
believes both former President
Truman and Gov. James F.
Byrnes of South Carolina, for
merI Secretary OF. State, are tell
ing the truth "as they recall it,
concerning White.
The lapse of time has changed
the perspective on the case she
said.
Then not every one was sus-
picious of every one else. An FBl
report was more or less routine
in appointments of that ma
ture, and in the climate of seven
years ago it might have been
glanced over hastily. perhaps not
fully read by the President, and
perhaps not remembered.

On BroWne|I Charue;
Calls Motive Political
BY the Associoted Press

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. IL.
National Democratic Chair
man Stephen A. Mitchell says
Attorney General Brownell was
guilty of "a monstrous charge
that discredits the reckless &C
cuser" by his accusations in the
snowballing Harry Dexter White
case.
And he declared that "onIy a
man without a conscience would
stoop so low for political advan-
tage and at the same time de-
mean his own high Office"
Mr.. Mitchell, who spoke be-
fore Arkansas party members
yesterday, declined immediate
comment on the issuance of a
subpoena for former President
Truman to appear before a
House committee to testify in
connection with Mr.. Brownell's
charges.
Mr.. Brownell, Mr.. Mitchell
said, went so far as to impugn
the loyalty of a former President
of the United States" in a
desperate effort to divert atten-
ton from Republican setbacks
in elections a week ago.
Mr.. Mitchell referred to what
he said were scandals involving
Republican public officials and
party Office holders in New York
State.
People are beginning to ask. :"
he said, where was Gov.
(Thomas Ed Dewey when all
this was going on?"
He recalled that Mr.. Brownell
is a former presidential cam
paign manager for Gov. Dewey
and speculated that "he may
even want to succeed Gov. Dewey
in Albany"
"The Republicans lost the gov
ernorship of New Jersey, largely
because of association between
the Republicans and racketeer-
ing" Mr.. Mitchell added.
And" he said, 1.-The Repub-
lican Party is in political trouble
all over the country"
How could Mr.. Brownell, the
political manager who is Attor-
ney General. bail his party out?"
Mr. Mitchell asked.
obviously, it. had to be some
thing quite sensational"

County to Reyomp
Child Care Bill

Montgomery County officials
fear q proposed drastic child
care ordinance might drive day
care centers and nursery homes
out of the county.
County Council members said
so yesterday when they ordered
a redrafting of the measure. The
lengthy, 14-page ordinance
would have established strict
health and welfare Yegulations.
Welfare Director William E.
Royer warned, however, that
standards could be made so
strict they would interfere with
giving proper care And Coun-
Gil President George F. Nesbitt
agreed. adding the county might
end up with an ideal ordinance
but no child-care facilities.

Phone CompanyAsks
For 1OPct. Increase
In District Rates

Chesapeake & Potomac Tele-
phone Co. yesterday applied for
a 10 per cent rate increase on all
types of phone service except
public pay stations and long
distance calls.
Dwindling earnings prompted
the petition to the District Pub
lie Utilities Commission.
The company estimates that
the proposed rate structure would
raise revenues by $45 million.
This amount would increase the
rate of return on the company
investment to per cent. The
rate of return now is about 5.25
per cent, according to company
officials.
Last spring the commission
authorized raising pay sta
ton rates from a nickel to a
dime per call. This boost. plus
some increases in relatively minor
rate categories, realized Sill mil
lion. The company had asked
for a $3.5 million raise.
Under the proposed new sched-
ule. the average monthly bill for
individual home and business
phones would go up about rs
cents. Party line service would
rise about so cents.
Higher operational costs are
blamed by company officials for
their shrinking earnings. Wages,
it was pointed out, consume
about 50 cents out of every ex-
pense dollar. Since just before
World War II wages to telephone
employees have increased $18 mil
lion, a company spokesman said.
In 1916, each telephone in
service represented a plant in
vestment of $215. That figure
has now scared to $316, a spokes-
man said.
Since the war, earnings have
averaged SIS per cent on the in
vestment. In the. last year.
however, the figure has sagged to
4 5.25 per cent. according to the
company.

Mccarthy Will Open
New HearingsSeries
In Albany Tomorrow
By Cecil HoIIond

Senator Mccarthy will open a
series of closed hearings in AL
bany, N. Y, tomorrow in an in
vestigation expanded from the
search for espionage at the
Army's Fort Monmouth IN. J0
radar laboratories.
The Wisconsin Republican said
the Albany hearings would in
vestigate alleged Communist in
filtration of the General Electric
Co.'S Schenectady plant handling
defense contracts. He added that
a "sizeable number of witnesses" I"
have been called.
The hearings, Senator Nc
Carthy said, would continue Fri
day and possibly Saturday. On
Monday the Senator said he
plans to renew closed hearings
in New York on the Fort Mon
mouth situation.
Meanwhile, Senator Mccarthy
questioned a published story
about witness who collapsed at
the New York hearings and
promised ito tell ALL" The story
said the witness had been cleared
and reinstated at Fort Monmouth.
"As far as I know" Senator
Mccarthy said, 1.-The witness was
not suspended. He hadn't been
when he appeared before our
committee"
The Senator said he asked
Maj. Gen. Kirbe B. Lawton, the
Fort Monmouth commander,
not to suspend the witness. He
added that a similar request was
made by letter to Army Secre-
tary Stevens.
The story, published by the
New York Post, said the witness
told nothing sensational be-
cause he had nothing sensation
al to tell"
On this Senator Mccarthy
said:
II don't think any one has
claimed it was sensational"
He added that the witness,
whose name has not been dis
closed. has given very valuable
information" to the FBI and in
formation of some value to the
Senate Investigations subcom-
mittee.

will allow more jobs to be placed
in Schedule C. But it cannot
afford to let the bars down al
together. Such a course would
only whet the appetites of Re-
publicans.
Already some Republicans, in
Guiding Representative Miller,
advocate "unblanketing" of the
several hundred thousand Fed
eral workers who, during the last
20 years, received civil service
permanent status through execu-
tive orders or congressional
action.
COMMISSION ACCORD -
Fortunately. Mr.. Young and Mr..
Moore are in complete acord in
declaring that they vigorously
oppose any such action.
They point out that these en-
ployes had to meet minimum
civil service requirements to
qualify for civil service perma-
nent status. With only rare ex-
ceptions. politics was not in
volved in the blanketing-in of
these employees. To deprive them
of their status would be a severe
blow to the merit system, as we'll
as grave injustice to these en-
ployes. The commission has no
intention of "unblanketing"
them.
However, the csc must always
be vigilapt and alert to political
clamor for more patronage. For
tunately, President Eisenhower
has thrown his full support be-
hind the merit system, and this
is most encouraging
Despite this, however, the po-
litical pressures for more Fed.
eral jobs will be intensified in
the months ahead. To combat
any wholesale raid on civil serv-
ice, the Civil Service Commission
will have to have a united policy
which will reflect not only the
commissions position but also
that of President Eisenhower.
In this way. in the words of
President Eisenhower, the
'sanctity" of civil service can be
preserved.

effectively it's various programs.
On the other hand, Mr.. Moore
feels the commission has not
gone far enough and should have
approved some of the 852 Sched-
ule C requests that were re-
iected. In some of these cases,
MI. Moore was outvoted by Mr..
Young and Fred Lawton. the
Democratic member of the COM
mission.
It's no secret that terrific po-
litical pressure has been brought
to bear on the commission re-
Gently by Republican members
of Congress and members of
the Republican National Com
mittee to approve more Schedule
C job requests. And this preSA
sure was intensified after the
Republican defeats in the Wis
consin and New Jersey elections.
Yesterday, Representative Mill
er, Republican, of Nebraska,
asked that Mr.. Young resign. He
charged that Mr.. Young was
blocking administration efforts
to put its own men in key jobs.
Mr.. Miller declared that Com
missioner Moore had been CO.
operative. but that he was con-
slstently outvoted by CommiS-
sioners Young and Lawton.
Mr.. Miller went to the White
House to ask President Eisen-
hover to demand Mr.. Young's
resignation. However, it's plainly
apparent that he received no
encouragement from the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Young is highly re-
garded by President Eisenhower
and enjoys his strong support.
And, always a fighter, Mr.
Young has no intention now of
resigning.

TOUGH FIGHT AHEAD-But
the political preSSureS from Re-
publicans in Congress are bound
to intensity in the months ahead.
With next years congressional
election now less than a year
away, there will be increasing
demands from Republicans for
more patronage and key jobs.
The question now is whether
the commission can repair it's
internal differences and present
a solid front to such demands.
The differences between Mr..
Young and Mr. Moore are not SO
great that they cannot be re-
solved. On most personnel is

quests has been the iSue most
