By the Assoeiuted Press

TOKYO, July 24.-Marshal
Kim II Sung, the Red boss of
North Korea, was reported to-
night to have ouSted his chief

Russian Koreans in his cabinet
with Korean Reds who put Com

There were other contradictory
reports that Kim himself had
been purged. but there was no

sources. who say Kim still is in
the saddle, say the reported
swing toward closer ties with Red
China could be the start of a
split between China's boss, Mao
Tse-Tung, and Moscow.
They call it a fight between
Communists trained in Yenan
and Reds trained in Moscow.
Yenan was the headquarters of
Red China's Mao before he took
over all of China.

gave Kim the upper hand in his

Minister Park Hun Yung, a

Work to Sturt
Quickly After
Fighting Ends
By Joseph A. Fox

President Eisenhower and con-
gresSional leaders decided today
to inaugurate a 5000 million
emergency rehabilitation pro-
gram in South Korea as soon
as the truce is signed.
The plan was announced by
House Speaker Martin and act
ing Senate Majority Leader
Knowland after a Commute
breakfast meeting of top admin
istration lieutenantS from Capt.
tol Hill, Treasury Secretary
Humphrey and Budget Direc-
tor Dodge.
The money will be taken out

for the war. While it has not
been decided if new legislation
will be needed to make it avail
able, both Senator KnoWland
and Mr.. Martin stressed that no
difficulty was anticipated in get
ting clearance from Congress.
Obligations Stressed.
Mr.. Martin described the plan
as designed to meet "the obliga-
ton we owe to South Korea"
It's announcement obviously was
timed to placate ROK President
GSyngman Rhee, whose attitude
toward the truce prospect has
been wavering.
Mr.. Martin explained that the
program actually was designed
to meet needs that would be de-
veloping after congressional adj
journment July 81 and would
give the administration funds to
operate with flexibility.
While the congressional lead
) ers were talking in terms of 5000
million for the proposal, the
leaders explained that no def
mite sum was to be "earmarked."
In discussing the situation,
those at the breakfast estimated
that there was about $1.2 bill

rean war for the current fiscal
year and that to cut of the

around 5000 million which could
be used to start the Republic of

The belligerent girls called
themselves the Esquire Debu-

1900 10 Be Shifted

Defense Department
Transfer Of Program
On Weapons Research
Due About September |
By james (. Roper

The Defense Department is
taking over one-third of the
employees of the Bureau of
Standards. plus the weapons
research work they have been
doing.
Secretary of Defense Wilson
and Secretary of Commerce
Weeks announced the plan
jointly.
The shift is expected to take
effect about September /.
Under the plan, about 1900
bureau employees will be switched
to the Defense Department pay
roll. But they will continue to
work-at least temporarily-in
bureau facilities, and on the
same weapons development
projects.
The key projects involved are
Improvements on proximity fuses
and design of guided missiles
The latter work is concentrated
at the bureaus facilities at
Corona, Calf.
Will Keep Job Status.
Defense Department officials
said the shifted employees will
keep their present job status
But a still-to-b disappointed AS
sistant Secretary for Research
and Development will review the
Governments overall weapons
program.
The aim would be to shift
some weapons development prof.
ectS from Government to private
industry. This suggested the pos
Sibility that some of the 1000
transferred employees eventually
will be dismissed as the Federal
work is reduced.
Secretary Wilson and Secre-
tary Weeks feel private industry
can do some research more
cheaply than the Government
The transfers from the Bureau
of Standards appeared to be q
major step in getting the bureau
out of weapons work.
The change will further re-
duce the responsibilities of Blu

The Senate Is scheduled to act

orders drastic changes in the
government reorganization set
up here.

tions Committee last night boosts
the fiscal 1854 budget by $2.3
million over the House-recom-
mended sum.
While the fund reservations
came as no great surprise, city
officials were rocked back on
their heels by a provision that
would place longtime District
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
in charge of the reorganization
program, completely superseding
General Administration Director
Schuyler Lowe, who was hired
for the job.
Mr.. Lowe, who has been in
office not quite a year, has been
in complete charge of directing
the reorganization plan, respon-
sible only to the District Com
misSioners.
FOwler'S Office in New Unit.
One of his first acts was to
incorporate Mr.. Fowler's Office,
and other administrative agen-
cies, into his newly created Gen.
eral Administration Department.
Under that setup, Mr.. Fowler no
longer reported directly to the
Commissioners, but through Mr..
Lowe.
The Senate measure, however,
reinstates the budget officers

the city heads, and not only as
budget officer but as manage.
ment officer.
The latter job was specially
created under the reorganization
plan to carry out the details Of
the agency remodeling program.
Held now by another newcomer
to District Government. William
K. Holl, at a high salary grade
of $12,000-$12,800 annually, this
position is wiped out by the
Senate bill.
AS combined budget and man
agement officer, Mr.. Fowler
would be empowered to take his
budget and reorganization rec
concentrations to the Commits
sionerS without so much as a
by-your-leave from Mr.. Lowe.
On the monetary score, the
Senate measure restored slightly
more than half the amount that
the Commissioners requested to
be restored in the use-slashed
supply bill.
The net result, Senate budg-
eteers say, would be that the
District will find itself with q
general fund surplus next June
80 of about 81 million after
meeting police, firemen and
teacher pay raises and other
budget costs.
