NEW YORK, June 3O.-United
States Marshal William A. Car
roll says he refused to resign
his job at the request of the
Justice Department five days
after he supervised the execution
of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
atom spies.
Mr.. Carroll, a Democrat, said
last night his Republican chiefs
in the attorney generals Office
said nothing about a resignation
when he was in Washington just
two days before the execution
on June 10.
He said he had expected to be
replaced by a Republican, but
he didn't think they would let
me finish nasty job for them
and then try to fire me without
even a vacation"
He said he postponed a June
vacation to handle the Rosen-
berg execution at Sing Sing
Prison.
Mr.. Carroll has been marshal
for New York'S southern district
since May, 1850. His term nor
lnally would expire in April,

Senate Emp|oye Held
In Theft Of Petty Cash

A 2O-year-old Senate employe
who worked briefly as Vice
President Nixon's chauffeur has
been held for grand jury action,
accused Of looting petty cash
boxes in Senate committee rooms.
He is Robert B. Collins, colored,
Of the 1000 block Of Grant street
NE, who was assigned as the
Vice Presidents chauffeur when
Mr.. Nixon took Office in Janu-
airy. Because of his age, how
ever. he was transferred last
month to a job as a janitor in
the Senate press room.
It was about that time, accord
ing to Capt. M. j. Dowd, that
the petty cash funds began to
diminish. The captain of the
Metropolitan police force as
signed to the Capitol said that
five rooms-including the Sen
ate radio gallery-were entered
by use of a master key.
About $100 was taken before

No Strike Call Yet.
While the pension contract
expires at midnight tonight and
union leaders are authorized to
call a strike for that hour, or
later. no such call has yet gone
out. Mr.. Bierwagen said it
would take about six hours after
strike is determined on to get
word to all union members that
they should leave their jobs.
1t was indicated yesterday
that the Commissioners were
exploring the applicability of the
ft-Hartley Act to the present
problem. Presumably this would
take the course of asking White
House Intervention and declara-
tion. Of a national emergency.
Such a procedure might lead
to application to the courts for
an 80-day injunction. It would
have to be sought by the At
torney General on instructions
from the President. Mr.. Spencer
made it clear the District Com
missioners could not take such
an action.
$1O4 Pensions Sought.
The pension dispute, briefly,
arises from the union demands
that retired employees at 65,
after Is years service, should
receive $104 a month instead of
the present $40. These sums
are exclusive of Social Security
payments.
Mr.. Broadwater's letter gave
comparisons between the Capital
Transit pension and those for
General Motors and the Federal
Government. To the $40 Capital
Transit pension he added the
$85 Social Security payment for
a single man. on the basis Of a
$4,000 a year wage, for q total of
$155. This is a, contributory
plan: that is, Capital Transit
employees make contributions to
the pension fund.
Mr.. Broadwater gave the g. M.
pension AsF including 1 $43.75-a-
month payment by the company,
$85 from Social Security, for q
total Of $128.75. It is a nom
contributory plan. ~.

ing a wage Of $4,000 a year, Mr..
Broadwater said, under a con-
tributory plan receives q total

Republicans and Democrats in
the House.
The effort to stop the plan
from going in operation was
beaten Saturday, 234 to 1O8, with

Directives Prepared.
The Defense Department had
ready a series of directiveS to
put into force the first major
reorganization plan for the de-
partment since it was created
under the Service Unification
Act Of 1947. In addition to
changes involving the Joint
Chiefs, here are some of the
others:
/. Abolition of two large units
OF the Defense Department: the
Munitions Board and the Re-
search and Development Board.
2. Creation of six additional
assistant secretaries of defense,
making nine in all. Among other
things, they would take over the
work OF the abolished boards.
These new assistants will deal
with: (a) supply; (b) research:
Co engineering; Cd facilities

1stence have been assistant sec
retarleS serving as controller. as
director Of manpower and as
adviser on international secur-
ity affairs.
Issue Over Joint Chiefs.
The issue in the House argu-
ment over the Joint Chiefs re-
volved about the control of that
strategy organization over a
subordinate group, labeled the
Joint Staff" The Joint Staff.
an organization of about 200 Of
f1cers from each of the armed
forces. does the spade work for
the Joint Chiefs, preparing
studies and plans on which they
make their recommendations on
strategy to the President and
National Security Council.
MANAGEMENT of the Joint Staff
Is now transferred to supervision
of the Joint Chiefs chairman.
1t was primarily on this point
that the objection of too much
authority for the chairman was
raised. The contention was that
by having authority over the
study and plan-making Joint
Stah, the chairman could be-
come a military dictator" and
that the trend was toward set
ting up q general staff like the
Pruss1an one which once domi-

newspaper story was false" Mr..
Wheeler said. The divorce pro-

Did you look into the charge
yourself?" Mr.. Walter asked.
No." Mr.. Wheeler replied.
Isn't that a rather loose way
of attacking the integrity of a
justice of the Supreme Court?"
Mr.. Walter demanded.
Mr.. Wheeler said that to him
the newspaper accounts indi-
Gated something which might
tend to bring discredit on the
court.
you realize" said Subcom-
mittee Chairman Graham, Re-
publican. of Pennsylvania, "that
what you have quoted up to this
moment would be mere hearsay
in any court of law"
Mr.. Wheeler said he thought
the charge of treason" might
stand up better. but on this point
he again ran into trouble from
the committee.
Mr.. Wheeler said he thought
Justice Douglas had made state
mentS similar to those put out
by the propaganda artists of the
Kremlin." It was then that Mr..
Walter told him that he would
be surprised at the propaganda
value to the Communists of the
Impeachment proceedings at the
time the Rosenbergs were await
ing execution.
Mr.. Wheeler said he felt JUS
tice Douglas granting of stay
of execution was IAN impulsive
yielding to a clamorous partisan
group. He asserted that the
justice delivered a printed state
ment on the case only one day
after he had heard the appeal by
the Rosenberg lawyers. He said
he did not want to imply there
was anything wrong about this,
but it looked peculiar to him.
IF your Interpretation is cor
rect that would be malpractice,
wouldn't it?" Mr.. Walter asked.
Mr.. Wheeler said he assumed
so. Mr.. Walter pointed out that
the trainers of the Constitution
had rejected malpractice as a
ground for removing a Judge. In
stead. he said, they granted
judges tenure during good be-
havior."

Walter said, II frankly believe
you haven't made out a case
which I would feel justified in
presenting to the House."
Mr.. Wheeler conceded that
under past definitions of treason,
Justice Douglas actions might
not be encompassed, but that if
treason were to be interpreted
"in a liberal fashion" they might
be.
Asked to Cite Overt Act.
Can you cite any overt action
he has committed which would
indicate reasonable activity?"
Mr.. Graham asked. Mr.. Wheel
er said he didn't think so unless
the definition of treason could be
stretched"
I'VE believe in the right of
free speech and the right of a
justice of the Supreme Court to
express himself" Mr.. Graham
said. Where has he said any
thing treasonable?"
Mr.. Wheeler explained that he
thought Mr.. Douglas as a Su-
preme Court justice should be "a
little more careful about provid-
ing weapons for psychological
warfare" than if he were a pri-
vate citizen. sF&
When Mr.. Wheeler cited q
speech Justice Douglas made in
1851 critical of some aspects of
American foreign policy, Mr..
Walter remarked bluntly:
IF everybody who held those
views were incarcerated, the
population would be sadly de-
pleted. It seems to me that has
a very familiar ring"
Depth of Charges Mentioned.
Although subcommittee mem
bers did not say what action
they would recommend, Mr..
Graham at one point in the
hearing remarked to Mr..
Wheeler:
I'm afraid that, as a layman,
you do not fully comprehend the
depth of these charges in the
legal sense that we, as lawyers,
know and understand"
MI. Wheeler concluded his
testimony by saying that, wheth-
er or not the subcommittee
recommended Impeachment. he
believed his resolution would still
have served a good purpose. He
said that if it did no more than
focus attention on the need for
tightening UP the law cit will
have accomplished something"
Mr.. Walter remarked that the
committees files are full of i'm
peachment proposals, mostly by
unsuccessful litigants who think
judges ought to be ousted.
'This isn't a novel experience
for U.s." he remarked dryly.
Other Specifications.
In. his House speech yesterday
Mr.. Wheeler listed these other
specifications to support his
charge of high crimes and mis-
demeanors warranting impeach-
ment:
/. Conduct unbecoming an as
sociate justice of the court.
2. Action tending to bring the
court into disrepute.
3. Public statements by Mr.
Douglas indicating he had pre-
Judged cases.
4. Conspiracy.
On the score of moral turpi-
tude, Mr.. Wheeler asked the
House to subpoena records of a
divorce case in Portland, Greg.
in which he said Mr.. Dougla,
