Save Eisenhower
From Republicans
Seen as ADA Policy
By Allen Drury

Francis Biddle, chairman of
the Americans for Democratic
Action, today outlined what may
be the ADA's policy for the con-
gressional elections next year:
Save President Eisenhower from
his Republican friends.
In a press conference held
prior to the opening of ADA's
sixth annual convention at the
Hotel Statler, the former DEM
ocratic Attorney General did
his best to disassociate the Pres
ident from what he charged was
a Republican attempt to conceal
defense cutbacks by laying down
a Mccarthy Smokescreen."
Prof. Arthur M. Schlesinger.
jr., of Harvard, ADA vice chair
man, was not so generous.
Il think the President is as
popular as he ever was" Mr..
Biddle told reporters. II look
to the President still for leader
ship against a Congress which
has so far assumed it. think
that is going to be the imme-
diate battle of the future. .
If we could get a Democratic
Congress elected next year to
work with our Republican Presi-
dent. I thing it would work out
just fine"
President Disappointing"
Prof. Schlesinger remarked
tartly that Gen. Eisenhower
has been most disappointing in
his failure to develop the re-
sources of leadership in the
presidency"
Furthermore. Prof. Schles-
niger said, it would be "a fair
assumption OH the part of an
outsider" to assume that the
Presidents failure to discipline"
Senator Mccarthy of Wisconsin,
is all part of a Republican plot
to use the Senator to win votes
in next years elections.
MI. Biddle also had much to
say about the controversial Red
hunting Wisconsin Senator. The
Republicans, he asserted, are
laying down a Mccarthy
smokeScreen" in their attempts
to conceal defense cutbacks from
the country. And he added that
their formula of more military
strength for less money is a
semantic sleight- hand"
Prof. Schlesinger referred to

they give up their posts. How
ever, the Senate Civil Service
Committee amended the meas
ure to provide for the repeal OF
the Thomas rider, which bars
Federal employees from further
accumulation of leave. The
Senate committee also amended
the bill to allow Federal en-
ployes to use their excess leave
over the Christmas holidays.
House conferees are expected
to agree to these provisions.
They may insist. however, that
the present 60-day leave accu-
mutation maximum for Federal
employees be reduced to 80 days.
This would not affect present
employees with leave in excess
of that amount but would pre-
vent employees in the future
from accumulating more than
30 days leave.
HOT WEATHER-The Gov
ernment this year will continue
the tough heat-dismissal policy
for employees. started last year.
Under the program, employees
in non-airconditioned buildings
can be dismissed for the day
only when the weather hits a
combination of at least IS degrees
temperature and SIS per cent
humidity. Otherwise. employees
wishing to take the rest of the
day off must use their annual
leave.

mitIee has approved a bill to

The committee was created by
Congress last year and is COM
posed of Government officials of

The bill would apply to those

Murder and Arson
Charges Filed Against
Tenant in Fatal Fire

Charges of murder and arson
were faced today by Everett D.
Green. SO. tenant of a house at
Ills Massachusetts, avenue NV.
where woman lost her life in a
fire yesterday.
The charges were filed yester-
day afternoon after detectives
compiled this evidence:
l. The fire, which slightly
damaged the three-story stone
building. originated from four
trash piles in the basement, un-
der a stairway and on the second
floor. A strong odor of turpentine
was detected.
2. Gas was seeping into the
basement from gas line which
had been opened about 10 feet
from one of the basement blazes.
8. Green was found lying face
down in the basement bathtub
in two inches of water. He had
stab wounds on the neck and
chest.
4. Green, who once owned the
home, lost it two years ago and
since has rented from the new
owner. Recently he was sued for
$770 back rent. Facing eviction
yesterday, he had unsuccessfully
attempted to borrow the needed
money. Neighbors told police
he threatened to "blow up" the
place before he would give it up.
Green remained under guard
at Gallinger Hospital pending an
inquest to be set later.
The fire cost the life of Miss
Betty Brown. 83, who had a room
on the first floor. Her death was
attributed to inhalation of
smoke and fumes.
