Deportation Barred
For Ex-Communisf
Dy the A..eeieted Pre.s

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. a.
The United States Fifth Circuit
Court Of Appeals has ruled
that a person legally admitted
into the United States can not
be deported despite earlier mem
bership in the Communist Party.
The court reversed a Houston
(Tex) District Court decision
ordering the deportation of
Roger Nehamia Berrebi of Har-
ris County, Tex.
The decision said "the fact
that he (BerrebD was lawfully
admitted Tin 1948), and lived
a law-abiding life in this coun-
try thereafter, brings him within
the different classification pro-
vided by law for an alien sought
to be deported."
Mr.. Berrebi had admitted
membership in the Communist
Party of Tunisia, North Africa,
from 1887 to 1899.
He was convicted by the Dis
trict Court of unlawful entry
into the United States and or
dered held for deportation.
The decision quoted the In
ternal Security Act of 1850 as
saying that ANY alien who was
at the time Of entering the
United States. or has been at
any time thereafter" a member
of the Communist or other to-
talitarian party of any State
or the United States, or of any
foreign state or of any political
or geographical subdivision of
any foreign state" can be de-
ported.

BY The Asseeieied Press

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The Com

important diplomatic moves are
afoot" as the result of a lunch
con meeting between Prime
Minister Churchill and Soviet
Ambassador Jacob Malik. There
was no confirmation from official
sources here or in Moscow.

The Worker said Mr.. Malik
would soon fly to Moscow to re-
port.
An Associated Press dispatch
from Moscow. quoted the British

nothing about Mr.. Malik bring
ing Premier Malenkov a message
from Mr.. Churchill.
Both the Embassy and the
Foreign ONCE here denied a

British Ambassador Sir William
Hayter had already delivered a
personal Churchill message to

Dangerous Toys
Bring Warning on
Loss of Sight

Don't toy with blindness by
using dangerous playthings," DR..
Franklin M. Foote. executive di-
rector of the National Society
for the Prevention of Blindness,
warned today.
DR.. Foote points out that, al
though most toys are now de-
signed for safety, "the record
shows that every year an esti-
mated 100000 American chill
dren suffer eye accidents, many
Of which are caused by unsafe
toys or toys used improperly" "
Sharp objects cause more than
IS per cent of eye accidents
among children and BIB guns,
slingshotS and bows and arrows
cause more than II per cent Of
the more serious injuries. He
pointed out that these toys may
be appropriate for teen-agers
who have received instruction in
their use but may be extremely
dangerous in the hands Of S.
year-old.
Adults can set a good safety
example," DR.. Foote suggested,
"by protecting their own eyes
while trimming the Christmas
tree and setting up decorations.
It takes only a split second for
a snapped twig or broken glass
ornament to cause lasting dam
age"

system and. the rights of Federal
workers.
Ever since last weeks decision
by Federal Court Judge Rich
mond Keech which held that the
President had unlimited powers
to reclassify employees into ex-
cepted positions from which they
could be summarily fired, Federal
employe groups have asked for
a new executive order giving
employees specific job protection
guarantees.
Until last June when Gen.
Eisenhower issued an executive
order stripping civil service job
protection rights from employees
in excepted jobs, Government
workers whose civil service posi-
tions were transferred to ex-
cepted schedules A or c had job
protection rights.
Such groups as the independ-
ent National Federation OF Fed
eral Employees and the AFL
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees have written to
Gen. Eisenhower during the past
few days urging that the June
order be amended to restore
specific job safeguard rights to
status employees in case of trans
fers to excepted status.
The unions stressed that they
trust Gen. Eisenhower and ap-
preciate his friendly attitude to-
ward Federal workers. But, they
declared that the broad firing
powers granted by the Federal
court decision could be misused
by some of the Presidents Re
publican colleagues or by future
Presidents.
Administration officials say,
however. that Gen. Eisenhower
feels another executive order
would serve no worthwhile pur-
pose. They declare he stands
100 per cent behind the state
ment he made recently to Rep
resentative Broyhill, Republican,
of Virginia. At that time, Gen.
Eisenhower said he would not
misuse the powers given him
by the courts and that Govern
ment workers can be assured of
fair play at the hands of his
administration.
There is a possibility that the
Civil Service Commission and
the White House may soon issue
a joint policy statement setting
forth in greater details the ad-
ministration's plans for not only
protecting the merit system.
but improving the working con-
ditions of Federal employees, ad-
ministration officials said.
