Head Of CSC Denies
lis Merit System Is
Being Undermined

Chairman Philip Young of the
Civil Service Commission last
night defended the administra-
tion's record on civil service and
denied that the merit system Is
being undermined.
Don't be miSled by cries from
political sources that the civil
service system is being under
mined" Mr.. Young told a meet
ing of the Washington Student
Citizenship Seminar Of the Ma
tional Student Council of the
YMCA and YWCA.
Mr.. Young said there was some
deliberate Jogging" of the pic
ture, which is politically mott
vated."
The commission chief said the
recent executive orders placing
policy making and confidential
assistants jobs in the new po-
litical Schedule C will strengthen
rather than hurt the merit sys-
tenn.
This administration is
pledged to strengthen and i'm
prove the career system in every
possible way" Mr.. Young said.
"But before we can do this, we
must arrive at a clear UNDER
standing Of just what the career
service should be-"
Mr.. Young said one of the
weaknesses Of the civil service
system in recent years has been
"the loss of clear distinction
between the competitive service
and the excepted service" He
said that by removing policy
making and confidential positions
from the regular civil service
schedule. it will strengthen the
merit system.
The csc chief said the admin
istration is restoring public con-
f1dence In the loyalty and trust
worthiness of Federal employees
and has taken steps to improve
the civil service system. He said
the tenure rights of career en-
ployes have been strengthened,
veterans now must make pass
ing grade on civil service exams,
the Thomas leave rider has been
repealed and the Federal en-
ploye security program has been
strengthened.
Mr.. Young urged poung people
to seriously consider Govern
ment career. There is not too
much money in it, but it brings
measure of deep personal salts
faction. he said.

Ammunition Stocks
Still Short Of Need,
Senate Group Finds

A Senate Armed Services Sub
committee reported today the
Army was "ready to meet any
contingency or emergency that
may arise in Korea" from the
standpoint of ammunition sup
plies.
Previously, the subcommittee
reported a needless loss of
American lives" as a result of
ammunition shortages. But the
second report of the group,
headed by Senator Margaret
Chase Smith, Republican. of
Maine, presented an entirely dif-
ferent picture. Ammunition ra-
tioning to the troops in Korea
had been stopped at the time
Of the truce, it said.
However. the report stated
ammunition stocks of the United
States and its allies in Europe
"are, like Our worldwide stocks
inadequate for an all-out war
because the demands of the
Korean war drained off supplies
1--WE point specifically to the
European area because we feel
that after meeting our require
mentS in Korea, we must now
give attention to the problem in
Europe" the report said. I'VE
cannot place too great stocks OF
munitions throughout Europe
where they might be endangered
by the onslaughts of an attacking
enemy on the ground or in the
air.
Rather we must strive to see
that our ammunition supplies
are placed where they would be
readily available, in adequate
amounts, should war break out
on the continent of Europe"
The subcommittee reported
that:
l. Many Of the limiting policies
which had an adverse affect on
ammunition production have
been altered or removed.
2. The production base has
been broadened and new pro-
ducers have been brought into
the program.
3. There is now in being an in
dustry capable of producing vast
quantities of ammunition "of the
ordered need to meet foreseeable
emergencies.

Kensington Fire Bill
Sustained by Council

The Montgomery County
Council has voted, 6 to 0, to
sustain the Kensington Fire
Board reorganization bill despite
efforts to have it vetoed.
It's action yesterday followed
a public hearing at which the ma
jority of speakers supported the
measure. The veto. however, had
been asked by the president OF
the fire department who said
many volunteers feel there are
forces at work" to have the
council take over fire depart
mentS.
The Kensington bill increases
the size of the Fire Board and
redistributes membership so that
residents of the rapidly growing
Glenmont- Wheaton area get bet
ter representation. County At
torney David Macdonald also in
terpreted it to mean that the
council now has the authority to
set the tax rate. Under the old
law. the Fire Board set its own

Lewis Derides Thought
OF AFL and ClO Merger
By the Assoeieied Press

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 12.-
John L. Lewis charged yesterday
that unif1cation talks between
the CIO and AFL are mere star
dust" and that the two groups
actually have no intention of
consolidating.
At the same time Mr.. Lewis
criticized the exclusion of his
United Mine Workers Union
from the conferences. The aging
UNIV president told a press con-
ference:
1.-THE miners union was barred
from the unif1cation talks at the
stipulation and request of the
AFL. It is illogical and it is
obvious that no real unity can
be had which excludes the min
ers' union" ~
Mr.. Lewis, foundersof the CIo,
declared the mine union always
can be counted on to do it's part
in any realignnent of organized
labor"
Mr.. Lewis said he was here on
private business but refused to
elaborate.

YutOslaVia AssaiIs
Itdly's Withdrawal
Offer as 'CoVer-Up'
BY the Associated Press

BELGRADE, Yugoslavia, Oct.
26.-Yugoslavia says Italy's lat
est proposal that both countries
pull their troops back from the
border between them is "a hypo-
critical one''\ which is "calcu-
lated to cover up" the reason
this country bolstered her forces
there in the first place. That
reaSon-TrieSte.
The denunciation was made in
a broadcast over the Belgrade
radio yesterday, quoting Yugo-
slav Foreign Office spokesman as
telling the governments own
official news agency Tanjug that
Yugoslavia counteraction along
the frontier with Italy came only
after this country'S interests were
jeopardized.
U. S.-British Decision Cited.
''The proposal of the Italian
government (for mutual with
drawal of forces) is further cal
culated to cover up the reasons
which compelled the Yugoslav
government in October to take
precautionary measures" the
broadcast said.
"These measures came after
the decisions of the United States
and British governments to hand
Trieste zone Al to Italy, which
the Italian government immedi-
ately accepted"
Both countries have alerted
their forces along the 75-mile
frontier from Trieste northWard
through the Alps tc Austria and
have sent in reinforcements fol-
lowing the latest flareup in their
dispute over the free territory.
New Tensions Created.
New tensions were created fol-
lowing the Anglo deci-
sion to pull their troops out of
Zone A, including the priced port
City of Trieste and turn the area
over to Italy.
Yugoslavia, with her troops
occupying Zone B under the 1947
Italian peace treaty, has threat
ened to march into Zone A the
moment the Italians set foot in
the area.
The Rome government let it
be know yesterday however, that
it had informed Washington,
London and Paris it was ready to
withdraw it's troops from the
frontier if Yugoslavia cid like
wise.

Pro-Soviet Pressure Seen
As Cause of Tito's Tough Talk

solution came from the fact that
Italy and Yugoslavia had come
closer to settling the issue in
secret bilateral talks held earlier.
Popular Feeling Aroused.
Diplomats are giving serious
study to the possibility pro-
Soviet elements may have so
whipped up popular feeling that
Marshal Tito either must face
a dangerous loss of popularity
or defy the division of Trieste.
An alternative possibility is
that a number of those in the
YugoSlav hierarchy secretly re-
tanned links with Moscow or re-
newed them after Stalin's death.
Selling this moment to bid for
power, they could have given
the marshal an ultimatum: !:
Split with the West and either
move back into the Soviet orbit
or become a neutral friendly to
Russia. Otherwise, we will over
throw you."
Evening star., 1953-10-26
BY the Associoted Press

ROME, Oct. 26.-Has Presi-
dent Tito been talking tough
to the West over Trieste because
of pressure from a pro-Soviet
fifth column inside Yugoslavia?
That possibility is being con-
sidered seriously by Western
diplomats, it was learned on re-
liable authority today.
Two separate informants said
pro-Moscow organizers have been
linked with recent Belgrade
demonstrations in which United
States and British establishments
were attacked. These eXcesSeS
were intended to embarrass
Marshal Tito, it was said.
Explanation For About Face.
Pro-Soviet pressure is de-
Scribed as the most logical ex-
planation for the marshal's about
face on the Trieste issue since
he visited England last spring.
At that time Marshal Tito led
British Foreign Secretary Anth-
ony Eden to believe that the
present solution-Zone A to Italy
and Zone B to Yugoslavia-
would be accepted by Yugoslav-
ia after only a token protest.
informantS say.
Marshal Tito and his chief
lieutenantS repeatedly gave SIM
liar responses to British-Ameri-
can feelers up to shortly before
the October 8 announcement.
There had been weeks of these

tual announcement of the de-
ciSion.

men knew well that this country
has had too many cattle and
that prices we're too high. The
break, he said, was sped by fly
by-night operators, such as doc
tors, dentists and beauty parlor
operators who saw farmers max
ing money on cattle and got into
the business themselves.
Business in Terrible Shape"
Mr.. Driscoll, in opening the
cas@f for the cattlemen, said:
"The livestock business is in
terrible shape" He said he per-
sonally lost 100000 last year on
1000 head of cattle. -
We're in lots of trouble and
the whole economy will be right

er of Mcclure, Ill.
Floyd Elliott of Dalhart, Tex,
said: Something will have to
be done noW-January l will be
too late for many of our people. 3"
Bill Graham of Sherman, N
Mex, said: II am asking only
for our just rights under the
Constitution.
The cattlemen asked for ar
interview with President Eisen-
hover, but the White House said
the President did not plan to see
them.
The group chose IL spokes-
men headed by Mr.. DriScoll to
Evening star., 1953-10-26

today. They arrived at different
times-but in the same mood.
Every cattleman interviewed
insisted that the Government
must support the price of live
cattle in order to save stockmen
now hit by falling livestock
prices. They said the present
Government program of buying
beef for school lunch programs
and overseas giveaways was not
enough.
Contrary to Commission.
This was exactly opposite tc
the recommendation of the Ma
tional Agricultural Advisory
Commission on Agriculture. This
administration appointed group
told Gen. Eisenhower Saturday
that direct supports on live
cattle were not advisable.
The saddest delegation was
from Utah, the State where Sec
retary Benson became promi-
nent as an apostle CT the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saints. AS soon as they reached
Washington. the Utahns headed
for services at the Mormon
Chapel at Sixteenth and Co.
lumbia road, NV. There they
ran into their friend and fellow
churchman, Secretary Benson.
An impromptu conference fol-
lowed. and the Utah delegation
had to tell Secretary Benson
they wanted price supports on
cattle.
According to Agriculture De-
partment statistics, livestock
prices have dropped nearly So
per cent in 18 months.
