Herbert Hoover slumped into
a sofa, lit a pipe and chuckled,
well, I'm back"
I'm unwilling" he said, but
I'm back"
The former President had just
agreed to return to Washington
to head a new White House
commission on government re-
organization. He received the
appointment from President Eli
Senhower-the sixth President
Mr.. Hoover has served.
Mr.. Hoover was pink checked
and jovial as he discussed his
new assignment during an inter-
view at the Mayflower Hotel. He
wore a natty, blue suit and a
neatly figured tie. He reflected
a general air of well-being, and
looked far too happy for a man
just about to embark on a new
attempt to straighten out Gov
ernment.
Even the weather didn't bother
Mr.. Hoover, who will be 79 ON
August 10.
Summers Better Now.
Washington summers always
were bad." he said, but now
things are better. You have air
conditioning, huh? In the Capt.
tol and many Government Of
fees"
Mr.. Hoover could have mem
toned the White House, too,
where he toiled from 1929 to
1888, sans air conditioning.
One Of the chief aims of his
new reorganization study will be
to help Gen. Eisenhower and
future Presidents.
"At the start Of the Korean
war;" Mr.. Hoover said, "7O agen-
cieS reported directly to the
President. If he gave just one
OF them an hour a week, that
makes a pretty long week.
Congress is always manufac-
turing new agencies and doesn't
know where to put them so they
just add them to the White
Houses responsibility. We'd like
to take a lot Of these of the
Presidents back"
Subsidies Seem Permanent.
Then Mr.. Hoover picked up
steam. When he was President,
he generally refused press con-
ferences, but now he spoke freely
and earnestly.
This Government began Civ
ing subsidies in the Washington
administration. This was sup
posed to be a temporary device. +"
"Now, after more than $50
years, subsidies have taken on
a sort of characteristic of per-
formance," he said, and smiled
at what he considered a gross

this studied so we can get at
least some of these industries)

Mr.. Hoover, once again light

East Africa sAddition
10 Federation Sought

NAIROBI (NANA) European
political leaders in Kenya have
been discussing the prospects Of
the eventual addition of the ter
ritories of East Africa to the Gen.
trail African Federation. Some
optimiSts see the creation of a
vast federal union stretching
from the Limpopo to the Ethio-
plan and the Sudanese borders
by 1857.
Mitchell Blundell, leader of the
European-elected members of
the Kenya Legislature, while not
including himself among these
optimists. is convinced of the in
evitability of such a union and
has been urging his constituents
to guard against permitting leg
.iSlation which would hinder
amalgamation with Central
Africa.
Though there already is a
considerable measure of unifica-
ton of services in East Africa
through the High Commission
postal, telegraphic, railway and
research services are among
those controlled by the commits
sion-all three territories are
critical, jealous and suspicious of
the others.
A six-territory union would
mean federal government area
of more than l million square
miles, larger than Western Eu-
rope. 1t would have a population
OF % million. It's financial re-
sources would enable more eff
cient and Speedier exploitation
of the undoubted mineral wealth
and agricultural potentiahty Of
this vast area.

Conference
September IA and IS
By Gould Lincoln

Plans for a major Democratic
gathering in Chicago probably
September IA and IS, with Adlai
Stevenson, party standard bearer
in 1852, as a central figure, are
rounding into shape under the
direction Of Democratic National
Chairman Mitchell.
The two-day program will, it
is expected, include:
l. Address by Mr.. Stevenson,
delivered in the Chicago Opera
house or some other hall, to be
broadcast and televised.

S. Meeting of the committee
appointed to study a set of rules
for the Democratic National

principal speaker.
Chairman Mitchell is planning
to go to Chicago next week. A
Civic Committee is in the process
of organization there to welcome
Mr.. Stevenson back after his trip
around the world.
Mr.. Stevenson, it is believed,
will report on his world trip and
the conditions which he found.
While it is unlikely his speech
will be political" anything he
says will be interpreted in the
light of politics and the fact he
is the titular head of the Demo-
cratic Party.
Invitations will be extended to
former President Truman, for
mer Vice President Barkley, and
all Democratic members of Con-
greSs. Included in the invited list
also will be Democratic Cover
nors Of States and mayors of
cities and all the Democratic
candidates for the party's presi-
Dental nomination in 1852.
With the first session Of the
SD Congress a matter of history
by the time Of the Chicago gath
sring, the Democrats are expected
to make their estimates of ac-
complishment and lack Of &C
complishment by the Republi-
cans-and their criticisms of the
Eisenhower administration.

By Matthews Named
Non-Exisfent Bishop
BY the Associoted Press

, GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July
25.-The Right Rev. Henry Knox
Sheriff., presiding bishop Of the
Protestant Episcopal Church,
last night blasted a recent
magazine article by j. B.
Matthews which he said listed
the names of a non-existent
bishop and one long since dead
as Communist members of the
clergy.
Mr.. Matthews resigned as staff
director of the Mccarthy Senate
Investigations subcommittee dur
ing the, uproar, which followed
publication of the article in
which he charged widespread
Communist infiltration of the
Protestant ministry.
Don't Want Smears."
In an interview Bishop Sheriff.
declared:
we oon't want Communist in
filtration of the clergy and we
don't want SmearS, gossip and
unfounded accusations.
THE article was thoroughly
irresponsible from beginning to
end. 1t mentions the Right Rev.
William Short of Iowa, a nom
existent person. There never
was Bishop Short of Iowa. It
also named Bishop Walker of
Atlanta, who has been dead for
years." ,.
Calls Clergy Foe of Reds.
"As far as 1 am concerned,
I know of no Communists in the
clergy" he added. II think the
clergy to be the great enemies
of communism"
IF there are Communists
among the clergy, we ought to
be given their Names" he con-
cluded.

Unwilling, but Enthusiastic,
Hoover ZONES Back to CopitoI

administrator and was Secre-
tary Of Commerce for eight years
under Presidents Harding and
Coolidge.
After that, Mr.. Hoover was
in the White House in his own
right for four years. Then came
16 years of comparative eclipse
while President Franklin D.
Roosevelt ruled the White House.
"I never had any assignment
under Franklin Roosevelt" MIR.
Hoover said tartly.
Called Back by Truman.
But President Truman had
him head a Government re-
organization commission. and
now Gen. Eisenhower has asked
him to follow up with a more
extensive study.
Mr.. Hoover said he worked
well with Mr.. Truman until the
1948 elections, "and after that,
there wasn't much cooperation
(from him)."
Nevertheless, Mr.. Hoover was
generally pleased with the Demo-
Gratis adoption of his reorgan-
ization proposals. Most-but not
all-went into effect.
Could he work better with the
Republican administration? He
shot back an instant answer:
"Oh, yes. This administration
is pledged to cleaning up Gov
ernment and I think it will do
it,"
He wanted his new study to
help Straighten out inter depart
mental relations, especially with
a better accounting system. And
he wanted better administration
OF personnel. He complained
none Of his recommendations on
personnel had been carried out.
The new investigation, he said,
would take more than a year. He
would spend three or four days
in Washington each week, as
sisted by his one-time White
House secretary, Lawrence
Richey.
The rest Of the time, Mr..
Hoover said, he would spend in
San Francisco or New York. He
would come here by train or
plane.
He prefers the train. He
frowned as he explained: "You
fly here from San Francisco and
you need day to recover, huh?"
Mr.. Hoover had answered rap
id-f1re questions for Is minutes
the period Mr.. Richey had sug-
geSted was adequate for an in
terview.
Mr.. Hoover was just explain
ing that he liked the idea of
making former Presidents per-
manent members of the Senate,
although I myself would not
want q seat" Then the tele-
phone rang.
Mr.. Richey answered. He SOL
emnly announced: "It's long dis
tance. The Chief will have to
talk. The Chief will have to be
excused"
Mr.. Hoover, the Chief, stood
erect. He said goodbye, and
strobe toward. the telephone,
eager to get on with his work.
He didn't look unwilling at all.

At San Francisco Bishop DON

Church would support Mr.. Nc
Michael unless and until civil
charges are brought and proved
against him. He added:
"The church will not tolerate
conviction on hearsay. If
McMichael is guilty, then the
church will take an appropriate
stand. But the church is not,

by to see his civil liberties, are
guaranteed. Mr.. McMichael has
emphatically denied being a
Communist. He is an extreme
liberal. But the New Testa-
ment is extremely liberal too."

Navy Finally Gives
Rear Admiral Rank
10 Expert on Atom
BY the Assoejoted Press

The Navy has decided to add
an admiral's gold braid to the
uniform that Capt. Hyman G.
Rlckover. its atomic propulsion
expert, was once scheduled to
doft because he was twice passed
by for promotion.
Capt. Rickover, So, a native of
Chicago, was listed among 20
captains selected for promotion
to rear admiral. The announce
ment by the Navy last night
brought recollections of the con-
gressional uproar last spring,
when a secret selection board
passed him up the second time.
BY law. this would have forced
his retirement last June 80. But
the Navy took special action in
March to keep him or active duty
another year and clear the way
for his promotion.
Congressmen Acted.
A 1922 graduate of Annapolis,
Capt. Rickover has been a CAP
tain since 1912. During most
OF World War II, he served in
the Navy's Bureau of Ships in
Washington and won the Legion
OF Merit for his work in i'm
proving electrical equipment.
Right after this session of
Congress convened in January,
members of Congress who served
on the Senate-House Atomic
Energy Committee took up the
cudgelS for Capt. Rickover. At
one point, they persuaded the
Senate Armed Services Commit
tee to hold up temporarily the
nomination of 80 Navy captains
to rear admiral. It was a point
ed reminder that Congress was
interested in Capt. Rickover.
Other Promotions.
Other captains selected for
promotion are:

strong in spite Of our efforts.
Now We have accustomed our
allies to look at the United
States as a country with un-
ending resources, and every
time anybody suggests that we
terminate this give program
we are told that we would lose
the support of our allies. I
read in the papers that Mr..
Dulles and Mr., Stassen told
you people that this give-and-
give program may have to 60
on for another 10 or Is years.
Let me tell you that the
American people. at least in
this part Of the country, won't
stand for it.
Confronted with letters Of
this character, the legislators
wonder how far they could go
to comply with the demands of
the executive branch to keep
alive the present MSA program
for the fiscal year of 1854.
Many voters who were look
ing forward last fall to an in
come tax cut in accordance
with what they believed to be
the pledges of the incoming
administration are now frankly
disappointed. International af-
fairs and our relationship with
the rest of the world have been
made unnecessarily complex
and difficult to understand by
John @. Citizen because of
their globalism. The American
people are unquestionably the
most altruistic in the world.
They react either spontane-
ously or are easy to convince to
help the suffering world. But
when, after a dozen years or
so. they see no end to their
global obligations. they begin
to ask what is happening.
Millions Of Americans are
puzzled over the lack of CO.
operation we have received
from our western European
allies IN the Korean war. The
fact that Britain, for instance.
has been carrying on a remu-
neratlve trade with Red China
while allied blood-principally
American and South Korean
was being shed is a matter
which no diplomatic" ex-
planation can make them
understand. The statement of
Washington bureaucrats that
such trade is actually helping
the allied cause is answered
by the average citizen, Tell it
to the horse marines"

Democrats Oppose
Rise in Mail Rates;
Passage Doubtful
BY the Asseeiafod Press

| President Eisenhower's pro-
posal for an increase in postal
rates is being threatened with
defeat in a Congress which is
anxious to wind up its business
for the year next week.
Although Gen. Eisenhower. was
described by one Of his chief
lieutenants as having bowed his
neck" in an effort to get the
rates boosted, there was evidence
that on this issue he may lack
the necessary Democratic sup
port.
Democrats have provided the
margin Of victory on some ad-
ministration measures, but pri-
vate polls showed minority men,
bers in the House apparently
are about 12-1 against the re-
quested $240 million boost in
postal charges.
$KnOwland Still Hopeful.
In the face of this, Senator
Knowland, Republican, of Cali
fornia, the acting Senate leader.
said he wasn't giving up hope
that some bill could be passed
before adjournment.
"We will know more about that
Monday. when the House COM
mittee may act" he said.
Some Republicans are COM
planning that Postmaster Gen.
eral Summerfleld is trying to
rush things too fast by seeking
action now on a bill which would
boost the regular letter rate to
4 cents, airmail to 8 cents and
raise second and third class
charges.
Publishers Make Protest.
Meanwhile, the Middle Allan
tic Newspaper Conference urged
the House committee to defer
action on proposed postal rate
boosts until study committee
completes a report.
The organization, representing
973 daily and weekly newspapers
in Maryland. Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and New York, made its
position known in a statement
prepared by Theodore A. Serrill,
chairman.
Newspapers have traditional
ly maintained that they do not
have and do not want a sub
Sidy," the statement said, "but
are. instead, willing to pay the
accurately determined cost of
delivering that part of their cir
culation sent through the mail.
IF a subsidy exists, it is not
for the newspapers but for the
maintenance of the rural deliv-
cry system and the maintenance
Of certain non-prof1t post Of
