barred permanent appointments,
later modified to permit perma-
nent appointments up to the
September. 1850, level, most
agencies have not taken advan-
tage of this.
The result is an ever decreas-
ing number of permanent status
employees in Government, as
normal personnel turnover such
as retirements, designations and
deaths takes it's toll. At the
same time, there is an ever.
increasing number of temporary
indefinite employees.
In September, 1850, there
were 1,496.000 employees with
permanent status out of a total
Government employment of l.
945,420. Today. there are only
1,292,518 employees with status.
despite the fact that the pay
roll has increased to 2,306, ,230.
What does all this mean to the
Federal service? It means that,
unless steps are taken soon to
give some kind of additional
status to temporary-indef1n
workers who passed exams, the
career service concept in Gov
ernment will be weakened still
further.
OF course, the Governments
first obligation is to find jobs for
its displaced career workers.
Also. the Government is obli-
gated to continue to give present
career workers job retention
rights over temporary -indeflnites.
However, the administration
by an all-out program can find
jobs without difficulty for dis
placed career workers. All that
is needed is a little more energy
and forcefulness by the Civil
Service Commission to achieve
this goal. Some temporary
indefinites will have to be fired
to make way for the jobleSs
careeristS.
But once this is done. the csc
should take immediate steps to
give status to some of the re-
manning temporary indefinite
workers with excellent ability
who passed civil service exams in
order to get their jobs. The
agencies now have the authority
to make these appointments, but

Indo-Chin0 Outcome
Affects Our Interests

In Indo- China a desperate
struggle is in its eighth year.
The outcome affects our own
vital interests in the Western
Pacific, and We are already
contributing largely in ma
terial and money to the COM
bined efforts of the French
and of Wet Nam, Laos and
Cambodia.
We Americans have too
little appreciated the magni-
tude of the effort and sacri-
fees which France has made
in defense of an area which
is no longer a French colony
but where complete independ-
ence is now in the making.
This independence program is
along lines which the United
States has encouraged and
justif1es increased Unite d
States aid, provided that will
assure an effort there that is
vigorous and decisive.
Communist China has been
and now is training, equipping
and supplying the Communist
forces in Indo-C China. There
is the risk that, as in Korea,
Red China might send it's
own army into Indo-China.
The Chinese Communist re-
gime should realize that such
a second aggression could not
occur without grave conse-
quences which might not be
confined to Indo-China. say
this Soberly in the interest of
peace and in the hope of pre-
venting another aggressor mis-
calculation.
We want peace in Indo-
China also. The political con-
ference about to be held re-
lates in the first instance to
Korea. But growing out of
that conference could come,
if Red China wants it, an end
of aggression and restoration
Of peace in Indo- China. The
United States would welcome
such a development.

Dulles Sees Lesson in Korea
Secretary Tells Legion Administration
Intends to Win Bottle for Peace

A partial teEt of Secretary
of State Dulles address to the
American Legion in st. Louis
today tollot0s::
My subject for today is
Korea, which is a major
theater of foreign-policy ac-
tivity.
The Korean war began in a
way in which wars often be-
gina potential aggressor mis-
calculated. From that we learn
a lesson which we expect to
apply in the interests of future
peace. The lesson is this: If
events are likely which will in
fact lead us to fight, let us
make clear our intention in
advance; then we shall prob
ably not have to fight.
Big wars usually come about
by mistake. not by design. Ag-
gressive deSpots think that they
can make a grab unoppoSed,
or opposed but feebly. So, they
grab. And to their surprise
they find themselves involved
in unexpected opposition which
means major war.
Many believe that neither
the First World War nor the
Second World War would have
occurred if the aggressor had
known what the United States
would do. 1t is even more prob
able that the Korean war
would not have occurred if the
aggreSSor had known what the
United States would do. The
Communists thought. and had
reason to think, that they
would not be opposed except
by the then small and ILL
equipped forces of the Repub-
lie of Korea. They did not
expect what actually hap

merit system. Simply because
the csc has approved some DO
litical Schedule C job requests
incidentally, it has rejected more
than it has approved-the in
tegrity of the commissioners has
been savagely attacked by some
journalistic critics.
The fact is that Commissioners
Young. Moore and Lawton have
courageously resisted the de-

hundreds of additional Schedule

have made occasional errors of

Achieving Peace Hard
And Sometimes Rugged

There is in this a profound
lesson. All the peoples Of the
world passionately want peace.
But too often they think that
peace is won merely by pacif-
ism. They should know by now
that peace is not had by merely
wanting it, or talking about 1t.
OF seeming to accept the role
of a doormat. To win peace
is as hard, if not harder, than
to win a war. To achieve peace
is a science. Indeed, it is a
most difficult. sometimes o
rugged science.
This administration intends
to act realistically to win the
battle for peace.
Since there was a war in
Korea, it was vital that the
outcome should justify the
sacrifice made. It was i'm
portant to establish the fact
that aggressors, hostile to the
free world, cannot go on en-
larging themselves by the con-
quest of small nations, until
they become bloated with
power and dizzy with success"
This fact has been estab-
lished in Korea.
The aggressor, which initi-
ally overran all of Korea ex-
cept a small beachhead at
Pusan. has been thrown back
to and beyond his point OF
beginning. He now controls
1900 fewer square miles than
when he started and has
incurred casualties totaling
about Q million. The cost to
the aggressor has been colos-
sal. His gains have been nil.

Wins on Release of
Accused Prisoners

] :. made public state
ment to the effect that the
armistice agreement required
the return of "all" prisoners
who wanted to be returned
and that, to us, "all" means
"all." further stated that we
would hold Communist pris-
oners Of war against whom
charges were pending until we
knew what the Communists
were going to do.
We have now received word
from Gen. Clark that the Mill.
tary Armistice Commission,
representing the two sides, has
agreed that all captured per-
sonnel who desire repatriation
shall be returned without re-
gard to alleged offenses. This
is good news. We on our side
shall. Of course, conform to
this understanding.
We can all take satisfaction
in the fact that President
Eisenhower has found it pos
sible to stop the fighting on
honorable terms. Now we turn
to the political aspects of the
problem.
I headed a delegation that
went to Korea last month to
discuss these matters with
President Syngman Rhee. We
acted with a background Of
regular consultation with con-
gressional leaders, both Demo-
crat and Republican. The
Republic of Korea and our
delegation then agreed on the
terms of a security treaty. It
will not, of course, be effective
until the Senate gives its con-
sent.
The Korean treaty would
prevent any recurrence of
the enemy miscalculation of
1850 which brought about the
Korean war. The proposed
new security treaty will conSti-
tute a clear warning. It will
make it unlikely that the Re-
public of Korea will be SUBJ
ject to another act of unpro-
voked military aggression
which would again involve the
United States.
AS another deterrent to re-
newed aggression. the United
States and the other is mem
bers Of the United Nations
which fought aggression in
Korea issued a declaration
that if the armistice should be
preached by unprovoked Com
munist aggression. then the
Is nations would again be
united and prompt to resist"
Also, that declaration points
out that "the consequences Of
such q breach of the armistice
would be so grave that, in all
probability, it would not be
possible to confine hostilities
within the frontiers of Korea"

discourage future defections
and thus make their Red
armies more dependable. They
demanded, in Korea, that any
who deserted or who were
made prisoners, and who es-
pouSed the cause of freedom,
must be forcibly returned to
where they could be punished
for their detection.
In Europe. after the end of
World War II, many who were
claimed by the Soviets were
forcibly returned, except as
some elected suicide as a pref
erable fate. The Communists
wanted the Korean armistice
to elevate that practice into
generally accepted interna-
tional law. We refused.
This time, no Red army
prisoners who want freedom
will be sent back to captivity.
A new and healthy principle

Window Effects
Can Help House

Lafayette, Ind.-For creating at
tractive window treatments, the
size, shape and placement of the
windows should be kept in mind
so that they will be part of the
decorative scheme of the whole
room.
Since picture or view windows
were designed to give feeling of
openness in the room, they may
be left as a dominating feature or
they may be treated to make them
less prominent. Miss Martha 10
Bentley, extension home furnish
ing specialist at Purdue Univer-
sity, points out that this type of
window may create a problem Of
too much sunlight or lack of pri-
vacy.
If there is a wide overhanging
roof, the incoming light may be
controlled automatically. Other
wise, blinds or shades may be
used to regulate the light in the
room. Sheer or semisheer curtains,
are good for diffusing the incom-
ing light. Draperies of heavier
materials hung on traverse rods
are effective as shades when they
are drawn over large glass win
dows. At night this helps to give
a decorative effect.
If windows IN one room are Of
near but different size, they should
be treated similarly with. about
the same fullness of curtains or
draperies. For windows which are
narrow, the rods for the drapertes
should extend beyond them. When
the draperies are hung they
should come to just inside the
window frame. This leaves all Of
the glass exposed.
To amplify the wide appearance
of narrow window and decrease
its length, draperies with a hori-
zontal pattern may be used. An
other way to make the window
look shorter is to use deep cor.
nice which may match the color
of the wall or be covered with the
drapery fabric. A pleated or gath
cred valance at the top gives the
same shortening effect.
