R0K Raiders Probe
Red Lines; Planes
Bomb Troop Areas
Rx the Asseeioted Pres.


SEOUL, April 23.-South Ko-
rean raiders stabbed deep into
Communist lines at fouS points
along the 155-mile battle front
today, killing and wounding
scores of Red infantrymen.
Allied f1ghter-bombers struck
Communist supply lines and
troop concentration areas while
United States Sabre jets swept
North Korean skies without
sighting Red MIG jet.
ROK raiding columns slashed
into Chinese trenches on the
western, west-central and east
ern fronts, driving the Reds out
in bloody hand-to-hand fighting,
the 9Th Army reported.
The raiders blew up Commu-
mist bunkers, caves and trenches,
then returned to Allied lines.
Allied mortars and artillery
rained shells on one Red-held
hill about 11a miles south of the
Panmunjom neutral area for two
hours before the South Koreans
swarmed up the slope and into
Communist trenches.
Twelve Chinese were counted
dead. another is were estimated
killed and about 20 were wounded,
the 9th Army brieang officer
said.
The sharp increase in action
contrasted with Wednesdays
calm when only 10 small con-
facts were reported.

The Times Survives
Page One Revolution
BY the Associated Press

LONDO ON, April %. The
Times-which ranks among the
worlds most conservative news
papers-carried out and survived
a typographical revolution today
Its masthead - the page one
nameplate was heightened to
nine and eight-tenths inches in
stead of the mere eight inches,
which was the length for more
decades than anyone can re-
member.
The staid sheet still carries
classified ads on page one and
top news inside. An editorial
soothed some readers who might
be distressed by fears that the
Times was nudging over toward
sensationalism.
The Manchester Guardian, an
ancient contemporary, went over
to news on page one and ads in
side last September, upsetting a
131-year custom.

Cab Drivers Warned

Assistant Corporation Counsel
Clark King in Municipal Court
today warned cab drivers solicit

that the District will continue to

The Federal Spotlight

Chairman Philip Young Of the
Civil Service Commission has
urged the White House to give
greater job safeguard rights to
Federal employees in the forth
coming security dismissal pro-
gram. it was learned today.
Disturbed over the fact that
the pending executive order con-
tainS no provision for appeal to
an outside impartial board, Mr..
Young asked that further en-
ploye safeguards be established.
Attorney General Brownell,
who has been in charge of draft
ing the order, has opposed
including such a provision.
Mr.. Young and others urging
greater job protection rights feel
that the summary firing order
contained in the pending pro-
gram could, in the wrong hands.
result in injuStices against en-
ployes who would have little
chance to defend themselves.
Urge Impartial Board.
They also argue that an i'm
partial review board would pro-
tect the Governments interests
since it could periodically review
agencies handling of cases to
see If they were doing a con-
Scientious job of wedding out
undesirable employees.
The pending order, which is
expected to be issued next week,
does provide for the establish
ment of hearing boards within
an agency, which would be
manned by employees of other
bureaus.
However. those criticizing this
procedure say that accused en-
ployes could not expect too much
in the way of an impartial hear
ing. They say that only a board
composed of outstanding citi-
zens in private life. can have
the latitude and independence
to judge each case on it's merits.
Under the new program, en-
ployes accused of being security
risks can be fired summarily by
the head of an agency. Loyalty
cases will also be covered, al
though the vast majority will be
concerned with security.
Security cases for the most
part do not involve disloyalty.
Rather, they usually involve
character defects such as exces-
sive drinking or gossiping, being
heavily in debt, or having unde-
Sirable friends.
Appeal Possible Now.
The present loyalty program
provides for an appeal to the
Governments Loyalty Review
Board. The board will be abol-
ished when the new program
goes into effect.
Also, the new program will
apply to all departments and
agencies on security firings. The
present security program applies

$4,000 for 1946-49.
The verdict could mean a

DR.. Forde said it was true that
he had not actually borrowed the

Planners Awaiting
Written Opinion Of
Court on ArmoryLo

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commis-
sion was waiting today for the
written opinion of a court ruling
that yesterday upheld the COM
missions title to the valuable Sill
yer Spring armory lot.
Members of the park board de-
clined to comment today on pos
sible sale Of the property.
The State Court of Appeals
backed up the park body's owner
ship
The commission in 1851 had
been offered $500,OO0 for the
four-acre tract by the Hecht Co.
The lot is located behind the
Silver Spring Armory at Fenton
street and Wayne avenue. not
far from Hecht's Silver Spring
store.
That offer. however, has been
withdrawn since the validity of
the commissions title to the
tract was challenged in court by
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil. which first filed suit in De-
cember, 1851.
Titles Validity Questioned.
The council questioned validity
Of the title on the ground that
the lot had originally belonged
to the county and had been
transferred to the commission
for public use. Selling it to a
private firm would not consti-
tute a public use, the council
contended.
The commission argued that
profits from sale of the lot would
be used for providing additional
park facilities in Montgomery
County. Furthermore. it said,
it had every legal right to sell
its own property.
The Montgomery County Cir
cult Court last September upheld
the validity of the planning
agency't title. The county ap-
pealed the ruling. but yesterday
the Maryland Court of Appeals
upheld the lower court.
The written opinion backing up
the high State courts decision
was to be handed down later
today.
No Further Action Seen.
Montgomery County Attorney
David Macdonald said it appears
the county has done all it can
to regain title to the lot and
that no further legal recourse
Is Immediately open.
I'VE think the transfer of the
lot from the old county commits
sioners to the planning commits
sion was of doubtful enough va
lldity to justify our suit" Mr..
Macdonald commented.
Meanwhile, the Evanswood
Citizens Association, which
earlier proposed building a COM
munity center on the armory
lot, has voted to stage a rally
of residents" if the lot is sold
to a private owner.
The community center pro-
posal, also Endorsed by the AL
lied Civic Group, called for a
building to contain a library,
meeting hall and Offices for the
Silver Spring Police Depart
ment The plan also called for
parking on the tract.
