the matter of leave was the
subject of long consideration and
finally eliminated in the pas
sage of Public Law 233.
Under this law most of the
previously existing systems were
abolished andover SO per cent of
all Federal employees were
brought under its coverage. Thus.
in one fell swoop the opportunity
of cashing in on accumulated
annual leave by changing from
one leave system to another was
removed from the reach of most
Federal employees"

confirmation of Eisenhower ap-
pointments.
In addition to appropriations
and tax revision, the big issues
that will confront this session
are:
Extension of the foreign-ald
authorization act.
Modification Of the Taft Hart
ley labor law.
The Presidents decision to
eliminate retail price and wage
controls has minimized the i'm
portance of extending some other
features of the Sterilization Act,
which expires April l. The
President said in his message
last week that he would recon-
mend renewal only of authority
to control ALLEGATION of defense
materials and discontinuance Of
Federal rent control in congested
areas.
The decline in farm prices
will be the subject of intensive
study by the administration and
congressional committees. but
the law governing price-support
programs runs through 1854 and
may not be renewed until next
year.
immigration Changes Approved.
The President has asked this
session to review the McCarran-
Walter immigration act to elimi-
nate what he described as in
justices. Although this was a
major issue In the 1852 cam
paign. Congress is sharply divided
over its revision, and action this
year may prove difficult.
In the field of civil rights, the
President took a definite stand on
ending segregation in Washing
ton, in the Federal Government
and in the armed forces. AS to
solving the problem nationally,
he repeated his campaign prom
Use to work through friendly con-
ferences with State and munich
pal authorities.
Some individuals in Congress
may seek to revive Federal civil
rights bills affecting the country
as a whole. but if Congress is
aiming for July adjournment
the odds will be against getting
such legislation to a vote,
especially If it contains Federal
enforcement powers.

steps, including a blockade Of
the China coast, should be under
taken, first to break the stale
mate in Korea, and second, to
break the ties between China
and Soviet Russia. An underly-
ing feeling has been that eventu-
ally Japan must deal with China,
and that it should not be a Com
munist China dominated by Rus
STA. The alternative would be a
Japanese economy supported by
the United States.
Bipartisanship Urged.
A ranking Democratic leader,
unwilling to comment publicly
on either the Presidents order
to the Seventh Fleet freeing the
Nationalist for attacks on the
Red China coast or on the block
ade suggestion, expressed a firm
hope that President Eisenhower
would carry out his announced
plan to seek bipartisan approval
of his foreign policy moves. This
leader had no quarrel with the
President for having announced
his order to the Seventh Fleet in
his message to Congress.
I'VE were informed about it in
advance" this leader said. "It is
water over the dam. The Presi-
dent. however, should follow
through 100 per cent his promise
to seek bipartisan support in
dealing with international prob
lens. One way he could do this
would be to keep informed, and
confer with, the Republican and
Democratic leaders of the House
and Senate and with the ranking
members of the. committees on
Foreign Affairs and Armed Serv-
ices.

Martin and Representatives

cans, and Representatives Ray

the President might command
the support of more of these
Democrats than of the Repub-
licanS.
"One thing I do not believe we
should do-announce to the world
and the Chinese Reds what steps
are planned, before they are &C
tually taken"
Representative Yorty, Demo-
crat, of California, suggested the
Chinese Nationalist themselves
could apply a naval blockade
against Red China if supplied
with some American ships.
Mr.. Yorty, who visited the Far
East late last year, said the Ma

stroyer escorts, minesweepers,
gunboats, armored junks and
