on President Eisenhower's pro-
posal for a peacetime atomic en-

AT news conference, Mr.. Dull

formally with Foreign Minister
Molotov at the conference pre-
viously scheduled to begin Jan

But, he said, now that the Rus
slams have proposed a delay he
will have to think of alternative
ways of getting started.
The Secretary expressed hope
the Russians would accept Presi-
dent EiSenhower's view, first laid
down in United Nations speech
December 8, that the best hope
for solving the worlds atomic
problems lay in a modest start
rather than trying to draft a
grandiose plan which would seek
to cover both weapons control
and peacetime atomic use.
The Secretary conceded that
Russia's latest atomic note was
a little different than past Rus
sian proposals on this subject.
He said the difference was only
a slight variation in words, but
he realized that even such a

Morooned Pilot Keeps 3 Alive
8 Days in Colo, Delivers Baby
Plane Forced Down

NORWAY HOUSE, Manitoba
Dec. ga rapid recovery was
predicted today for Paul Hickey
Canadian bush pilot. who kept
an Indian mother and two OF
her children alive during six
days the group was marooned
in Sub-zero cold
The heroic pilot delivered a
third child to the mother in his
marooned plane, then almost
periShed attempting to keep his
passengers alive.
Mr.. Hickey began his ordeal
last Monday. when he lost his
way over the northern Mani
toba wilderness with Mrs. An
nanian Harper and her two
children, Elizabeth. 4, and Jo-
seph. 6. Mrs. Harper was en-
route to hospital at Island
Lake, 300 miles northeast of
Winnipeg, to have another
child.
Unable to find his bearings,
Mr.. Hickey set his light plane
down on a lake $40 miles north
of Winnipeg, planning to con-
tinue the flight after daylight
disclosed landmarks. But a
storm showed the plane in.
Mr.. hickey delivered Mrs.
Harper's child that night with
the aid of the few elementary
medical supplies included in his
planes first-aid kit. He stripped
of his own shirt and undercloth-
ing to cover the baby.
The plane carried only one
sleeping bag and the 37-year-old
pilot bundled the mother and
her three children into it, 60
ing without sleep for the entire
six days in an attempt to keep
his passengers alive.
The baby died Saturday, how
ever. only a day before the
downed plane was sighted by
Royal Canadian Air Force search
craft. A ski-equipped light
plane. piloted by Bert Clarkes of
Central Northern AirwayS, picked
up the survivors and took them
to the Island Lake Hospital.

the worst shape but the passen-
gers were in excellent condition. ="

the pilot was in quite good con-
dition" although his hands were
severely frostbitten.
think they were found just
in time" Mr.. Clarkes said. "An-
other night and Hickey would
have died of exposure. The
others were completely depend
ent on him and they. too, might
have died"
During the six-day ordeal Mr..
Hickey chopped trees with a
broken ak and kept a fire blaz-
ing. The mercury dropped to 35
below zero. For two days snow
and freezing rain swept the lake.
Mr.. Hickey melted snow to
make the baby's formula from
powdered milk and sugar in the
ration kit. Despite his efforts,
the baby died. He tramped out
in the snow: "OK"

Delegation Preparing
Bill for Montgomery
School Board Primary
By Gene Goodwin
Stor Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. IL. - The
Montgomery County legislative
delegation is preparing a bill to
hold nonpartisan primary elec-
tions for. school board members
A measure also is being draft
ed to allow Montgomery to ap-
point some of the members of
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission.
Those were the two major
proposals discussed by the Mont
gomery delegation in a meeting
yesterday.
I'VE need an elimination con-
test to cut down the size of our
ballot" said Delegate j. Dougla;
Bradshaw. delegation chairman
in proposing the school board
primary. He said there were
more than so names on the 1850
general election ballot in Mont
gomery.
-. The greatest criticism Of the
c0unty's first school board elec-
ton last November, when 10
capdidates Wed for four seats.
Mr.. Bradshaw said, was that the
voters did not have ample oppor-
tu1ilky 70 become acquainted with
all, the aspirants. A primary. he
said. would prolong the cam
paign and cut the field down to
two candidates for each of the
seven vacancies which will occur
every four years after 1854.
On the Sanitary Commission
proposal. the delegation decided
to tone down the bill vetoed by
the Governor in 1851. Mont
gomery County Attorney David
G. Macdonald was instructed to
draft new measure, providing
that the three present members
Of the commission serve out
their terms.
The 1851 bill, which was
heavily amended and vetoed by
Gov. McKeldin as unconstitu-
tional. provided originally for a
f1ve-man board, with the Gov
ernor appointing the chairman
and two Prince Georges men,
bers and the Montgomery County
Council naming two Montgomery
members.
Mr.. Macdonald also was told
to write into the bill provisions
for public hearings on the sani-
tary commissions budget and
for periodical meetings open to
the public.

not under civil service.
! Then. several days ago, Chair
man Carlson of the Senate Civil
Service Committee wrote to the
| csc requesting a list of Federal
indefinite POSITIONS in grade GS-7
and alp. There are about 125 600
of these positions. about 10000
Of them in Washington.
csc officials are now ponder
ling the situation. These indefl-
Mite employees are under civil.
service. Since the outbreak of the
Korean war. the Government
has not made permanent ap-
pointments, giving indefinite
status instead. These employees
either passed civil service exams
or qualified under, minimum civil
service standards.
| A top Senate spokesman said
today the list of indefinite en-
| ployes in Grade GS-7 and above,
as well as the request for cur
rent vacancies in these jobs, was
not sought for political patron
age purposes.
| "We know that these jobs are
covered by civil service and, we
have no intention of grabbing
them for political purposes" he
said.
The Republican spokesman
said the Eisenhower administra-
ton is now considering the pro-
posal to give reserve status to
1 Federal indefinite employees who
have passed civil service exams
to get their jobs. This eventually
would lead to permanent status.
The proposal had been under
consideration by the Truman ad-
ministration, which left it up to
President Eisenhower as to
whether to issue the order. Mr..
Truman urged that it be issued.
1--WE want to know how many
people would be affected by such
an order and what the problems
would be-" the Republican off,
cial said. without specific in
formation, we would be operat-
ing in the dark"
Asked why the Republicans
sought information only about
indefinite GS-7 and above jobs,
spokesman said it was an arbi-
trary selection designed to keep
down the huge number Of names
on the list. He said there are
fewer indefinite positions in jobs
paying $4,000 or more than there
are in the lower paying positions.
There are a total of 800. 900
Government employees who have
temporary indefinite status.
The csc has sought White
House advice on whether it
should turn over the indefinite
list sought by the Republicans.
Indications are that the csc
will comply with Senator Carl
sons request, especially in view
of the assurances that political
patronage will not enter into
these positions. :"
Another aspect of the Situa-
ton is that since these jobs are
under civil service, the Repub-
