Cole Sees Big Job
Ahead for Nation S
Home Builders
Continued From Page BID

trasting opinions about Mr..
Cole are probably those ex-
pressed by the National Asso-
citation of Home Builders and
the CIO.
Members of the home
builders trade association said
a month ago they liked Mr..
Cole and his views so well that
their organization was making
him its No. candidate for the
job. The CLIO disliked Mr..
Coles views so much they told
President Eisenhower a week
ago, before the selection was
made, that the elevation of
Mr.. Cole would represent "a
ridiculous and harmful APP
pointment."
Such is the chasm that
divides some people on the
question of housing, which
many others think of as simply
what can be done with ham,
mers. nails, brick and plaster,
instead of as a thorny political,
economic and financial issue.
AS for Mr.. Cole, you gather
as you talk to him that he is
not an ogre by any means,
and that he has a good sense
of public relations. He pointed
out yesterday that as an adj
ministrator he would follow
the mandate of Congress to
the letter.
He said that in general he
looked upon any housing or
social welfare legislation that
came up in Congress on the
basis of whether or not it
would endanger the peoples
freedom.
He said he was opposed to
any little group in Washing
ton working to destroy free
dom. Previously. in many
speeches, Mr.. Cole made clear
he felt that public housing
advocates fall into this cate
CORY. At least once he said
he considered the public hous-
ing program, if left to go UNI
checked, would strange the
people of America" He is
also known to be an advocate
of realistic" interest rates
another term for higher-inter-
est rates.
Mr.. Coles appointment came
through on Wednesday Of
this week. The same day
was a big one for Mr.. Cole
and his family otherwise. On
that day, his son, Will F. Cole,
20, was sworn into military
service, and his daughter Kitty,
who is married to Kenneth
Raul. f1rst-year law student
at George Washington Uni
verslty, observed her 23d BIRTH
day.
The housing administrator
designate, son of a Baptist
minister. was born in Moberly.
Mo-, on October Is, 1901. At
the age of 9, his family moved
to Topeka. Kans., where he
attended grade school. Later
the family moved again and
Mr.. Coles high school years
were spent at Sabetha, Kans.
He waited on tables while at
tending Washburn College, in
Topeka, and continued to work
while he studied law at the
University of Chicago, where
he received his law degree in
1925.
Shortly afterward, he start
ed to practice law in Holton,
Jackson County, Kans., and
was almost Immediately elected
county attorney. For a dozen
years, he was a member Of
the Holton Board of Educa-
ton, and served as president

nouncement of his appoint
ment was made.
Mr.. Cole already has taken
up an Office in the Housing and
Home Finance Agency to
familiarize himself with the
new job, so that he can take
over upon confirmation by the
Senate. Housing Administrator
Raymond M. Foley remains as
administrator until Mr.. Cole is
qualified.

Torch Burglars Burn Into Safe,
Butts tMoyBeSinged

Clock-watching safecrackers,
at least one of whom was. tall
and thin, used an acetylene torch
to cut open half-ton safe at a
Northeast drug store, but may
have burned most of the $500
loot in the process, police re-
ported today.
|. The thieves used torch
stolen from a nearby garage to
crack the safe at a Peoples drug
store at 1919 H street NE. De-
tective Sergt. A. F. Trammelle
said the job apparently was done
in an hour and a half.
Police said the safecrackers
stole ladder, the torch, a ham,
mer and other tools from the
Northeast Auto Body Works,
1889 H street NE.
They used the ladder to climb
to the drugstore roof, then
hauled the ladder up after them.
They removed ventilator from
the roof and forced apart thin
bars over the opening to- a dis
tance of less than a foot.
AS police reconstructed the
operation, one of the thieves
crawled through and opened
double back doors. The thieves
pulled the safe from behind the
prescription counter and tumbled

it down stairs to the basement.
They took an alarm clock from
a basement kitchen. set it on
the floor beside the safe, and
went to work. The thieves ap-
parently used water to cool the
safe occasionally, Sergt. Tram
nell said.
But the policeman said the
water probably did not keep most
of the money from burning. Po-
lice found a penny and a nickel
fused together. They also found
badly charred money bag.
Several other money bags,
which contained receipts from
yesterday, were missing. Pvt.
John Sanders, walking his beat
at 4:30 am. checked the back
door and found nothing amiss.
At 5:45 am, a cruising police car
noticed the door standing wide
open.

mission and the Budget Bureau,
which should be the co-ordi-
mating agencies. An example
OF this independent action is
the recent announcement of the
Internal Revenue Service that
200 employees would be released
IN January and the even more
recent announcement of the
firing Of $50 guards from the
General Services Administration
1.-THE affect of these thought
less statements to the press is
to revive the sense Of fear
smoldering throughout the Fed
eral service that the jobs of
career workers are still unsafe
Such a situation is intolerable
from the standpoint of efficiency.
1t also has a tremendous adverse
affect on business in the Greater
Washington Area. Persons fear
full Of losing their income are
going to spend. as little as
possible.
Il am certain that you are as
unhappy about these results as
I am. I am equally certain that
we can not correct them until
you again forcefully state your
position and demand that your
policy shall be strictly adhered
to. Once before / asked that a
presidential directive be issued.
was assured then that the
memorandum from Chairman
Young to department. heads had
the force of a presidential
directive.
Asks Strong Memo.
Subsequent events have
proved otherwise. It therefore
becomes q sheer necessity. if the
policy of your administration
respecting the Federal employees
is to be carried out. that a memo
randum under your name be
addressed to all cabinet members
outlining that policy in terms
that can be neither miSunder-
stood nor evaded.
May I respectfully request
that you issue such a directive
Immediately and insist that it be
enforced. Such fortnight action
on your part will dispel the fear
that exists: it will take the pro-
gram we discussed out of the
quagmire and it will be one OF
the greatest Christmas presents
you can give to the vast army OF
Uncle Sans loyal and eficient
workers"

Star. disclosed figures showing
that there are now 1873 jobless
career workers seeking jobs in
the Washington area in the
commissions separated career
employe program, compared to
1856 who were unemployed 60
days ago.
It was two months ago that
Chairman Philip Young, after q
conference with President Eisen-
hover and Mr.. Broyhill at the
White House, sent a letter to
all cabinet officers and agency
heads asking their cooperation
in the program.
Failure Disputed.
Top csc officials disputed Mr..
Broyhills statement that the
separated career worker program
was a failure. They said the
reason there are more jobless
careerists than there were sew
eral months ago is due to the
large layoff at the Veterans Ad-
ministration recently, in which
1000 employees were dismissed.
and scattered layoffs elsewhere.
A top commission official,
who asked not to be quoted, said
he thought the commission's
program was working out fine"
The official said the commission
was placing jobless careerists at
a rate of 600 a month land we
think that is pretty good"
Under the csc program, the
commission has the right to
order indefinite employees fired
but it does not have the au-
thority to force agencies to hire
separated career workers sent to
take their place.
Text of Letter.
The text of Mr.. Broyhill's let
ter to President Eisenhower fol-
lows:
"On October IL, we discussed
in your Office the plight of the
displaced career Government
employees. Chairman Young of
the Civil Service Commission was
present and participated in this
discussion. The outcome of this
conference was highly satisfac-
tory. It was indeed heartening
to hear that these displaced
workers would be rehired but it
might take 60 or 80 days to do
.it;; that the observation-disclosures
program would be properly CO.
ordinated; that cooperation to
achieve these desirable objec-
tives had been assured by de-
partment heads; that reduction
in force in the future would be
accomplished largely through re-
tirement and resignation. I
II was particularly impressed
with your understanding of the
problem and your sincere desire
to correct the situation that
mitigated against the best in
terests of the Federal Govern
ment and had the unhealthy af-
feet of impairing employe morale. +
Unfortunately, 60 days after
our conference, it would appear
that we were overly optimistic.
Investigation has convinced me
that the program to rehire career
workers has begged down. In
fact, if my figures are correct, a
larger number of displaced ca
reer employees exists today than
when we had our discussion 60
days ago. It is quite obvious,
furthermore. that the promises
of the department heads to
properly coordinate the reduc-
tion-in-force program and to CO.
operate fully with your objective
of protecting the career workers
in their jobs have, to put it
charitably. been largely forgot
ten.
Agencies are still running of
in all directions and independ-
emily of the Civil Service Com
