standards now to guide the
agencies in determining which
jobs may be- removed. All that
last weeks executive order is
sued by the White House re-
ferred to was policy determin-
ing" positions. And the CSC's
instructions to the agencies
were equally as vague.
Just what is meant by policy"
and when should it apply? Merit
system advocates feel that the
positions excepted should be
confined only to those OH the
policy decision level. And even
these jobs should be confined to
those involving program policy
of a political nature, rather than
an administrative or internal
operations policy.
It's felt that jobs involving
policy recommendations or pro-
posals should not be taken out of
civil service. Many employees are
required to give their views or
suggestions as to a certain phase
of policy, but as long as they
have nothing to do with the final
decisions they should not be
considered as part of the policy
determining group.
For example, employees en-
gagged in personnel and manage
ment work, budget and finance,
or press and public information,
may from time to time have to
make certain recommendations.
But these are mostly of an in
ternal or administrative nature
and have no bearing on the final
decisions made by the head of an
agency or department and their
top political aides. Therefore,
these employees should not be
considered in the policy deter
mining category.
If the csc sets forth these
definite guide posts as to what
does and does not constitute
policy determining" positions,
agencies will be less apt to seek
to remove positions which are
not strictly of a policy decision
nature. That's why the csc is
being urged to act soon so that
agencies will know how to
proceed and career employees
will have added assurance that
their jobs are not in danger.

control over millions of human
beings unless certain tendencies
in modern civilization had pre-
pared the ground for Subjuga-

that, in large measure, modern
man is no longer conscious of
his autonomy or his value as a
human being, no longer works
out his own philosophy of life
but, often for reasons of con-
Venience accepts the ready-made
norms offered to him by some
collective body. He added:
This collective. anti-individ-
ualist spirit. in diametrical op-
position to the very essence of a
university. has even invaded the
institutions of higher education,
Notwithstanding the fact that it
is one of their chief tasks to
educate the younger generation

creative work."

DR.. Bum, in his address to

Curb on Treaty Power
Would Impair Action
InDefense, Nash Says

Assistant Secretary of Defense
Frank C. Nash told the Senate
Judiciary Committee today that
proposed changes in the Con-
stitution to limit the Presidents
power to make treaties and
executive agreements would in
terfere with speedy action for
defense in time of emergency.
AS an example, he recalled
that when North Africa was in
vaded in World War II the big
issue was whether the French
forces there would fight on our
side or fight against u.s." He
said President Roosevelt was
able to authorize Gen. Eisen-
hover to make an agreement
under which the allies agreed
not to disturb French control Of
North Africa. in return for
which the allies obtained rights
which made the invasion a sue
cess.
The fear of the administra-
ton is that under the proposed
amendments the Presidents
power to make executive agree
mentS without bringing them
back to Congress would be in
doubt.
Mr.. Nash said numerous
agreements have to be made
with other countries in the
development of overseas bases,
which also might be interfered
with.
Meanwhile. Senate Majority
Leader Taft's support of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment added potency today to
the Republican search for word
changes acceptable to President
Eisenhower.
Senator Taft is one of the 81
sponsors of the amendment,
drafted by Senator Bricker,
Republican. of Ohio. Senator
Taft advocated it's revision in
an effort to overcome admins
tration objections.
Whether the Judiciary Com.
mittee can find language an

this week by Secretary of State
Dulles and Attorney General
Brownell was a big question.

ARMY-The appointment of

Secretary of Army in charge
OF manpower and personnel is
encouraging to advocates of a

ment. Mr.. Mitchell, who was

Adenauer Stresses
Role Of University ir
Spiritual Struggle

Konrad Adenauer, Chancellor
of West Germany, last night
stressed that universities have a
great task to perform with the
world "in the midst of a decisive
spiritual struggle"
DR.. Adenauer spoke at George
town University. where he was
awarded the honorary degree of
doctor of laws. Among those
present were the Most Rev. Pat
rick A. O'Boyle, Catholic Arch
bishop Of Washington; the Very
Rev. Edward B. Bum, president
of Georgetown University, and
many diplomats and other prom
inent persons.
DR.. Adenauer. speaking in
German, said he has repeatedly
had the opportunity of referring
to the decisive struggle going on
between the constructive forces
of the free world and the de-
structive powers of atheist to-
talitarianism.
Struggle Is Spiritual.
I'm this decisive struggle" he
declared. "the military defense
economic consolidation and So
cial progress of the free nations
play a great role. to be sure
But let there be no illusions
! about the fact that military and
economic strength alone will not
be able to offer resistance to the
ever-spreading totalitarian ide-
ology.
1--WE are in the midst of a de-
cisive spiritual struggle in which
universities have a great task to
perform. Some educational in
Stitutions bear an ample share
of responsibility for the false
ideologies menacing the peace
and freedom of the world through
totalitarian systems of differ
ent kinds"
DR.. Adenauer pointed out that
many of these destructive the
ories were taught from academic
chairs long before politicians
got hold Of them, popularized
them and made them into total
itarian party ideologieSe.
"The reason I am so out
spoken about this" he added
"is because I am anxious to
stress the responsibility which
rests on the institutions of
higher education throughout he
world, and particularly in both
our countriese.
"It is their responsibility to do
everything by way Of scientific
research and teaching to dis
prove false theories endangering
the future Of the world, and to
discover and develop the prin-
ciples best suited to guarantee to
human society, as organized in

Adenauer Discounts
Fears GermanyM May
Court Soviet Favor

West German Chancellor Kon-
rad Adenauer today declared
that any partnership with Soviet
Russia is IAN impossibility" for
his country, whose basic policy
stresses closest association with
Western democracies.
In q luncheon address to the
National Press Club, DR.. Ade-
nauer hit hard at reports which
have indicated that Germany
may be on the verge of going
Major Communist.
He said that some accuse Ger
many Of wanting to "conjure up
= war with Soviet Russia and
thus regain our lost eastern
provinces" Others charge Ger
many with planning to ally our
selves with Soviet Russia as soon
as we can get weapons in our
hands"
Asserting that both opinions
spring from distrust, DR.. Ade-
nauer declared that these fears
are unfounded."
The 77-year -old German leader
took time out from a series of
conferences with President Eli
senhower. Secretary Of State

policies at the luncheon
Major Points Listed.
Among his major points were
these:
l. He predicted ratification in
the "foreseeable future" by all
the six European nations in
volved of the European defense
community treaty providing for
tntegration of German forces
into a European army.
2. He believes this and other
unif1cation projects will lead to
greater political unity and even
tually to United States of Eu-
rope.
3. He sees mo convincing evil
dence" of any change in Soviet
expansionist foreign policies since
Stalin's death. The Russians
could give more convincing
proof" of peaceful intentions if
they would permit free elections
in their Eastern Zone of Ger
many, and release more than
100000 Germans believed still
held in the Soviet Union as pris-
oners of war or displaced persons.
4. West Germany is prepared
to "offer our full contribution to
the common defense of free
dom"
DR.. Adenauer said that natu-
rally there are still a few die
hard Nazis in Germany, but as
serted that reports painting IAN
alarming picture" of a resur-
gence of Naziism do not conform
to reality"
"A few Nazis do not by a long
sight make for a German people
controlled by national socialism, {"
ne added.
Confident in Elections.
DR.. Adenauer expressed conf
dence that forthcoming elections
In West Germany twill not re-
suit in any noteworthy success
of the radicals of the right nor
the radicals of the left"
Instead, he said "the German
people will unequivocally come
out for the unification of Europe
and continue close cooperation
with the United States"
DR.. Adenauer said he believes
Stalin's death brought IAN era of
uncertainty. He advised watch
ing developments in Moscow's
peace offensive with an open
mind but also with caution"
DR.. Adenauer announced that
as "a token of gratitude for
American aid to Germany since
World War II and of Germany's
sympathy, his government is
making available through the
German Red Cross a field hos
pital with doctors and nurses
which will be at the disposal of
those fighting for freedom in
Korea"

leave.
In this way, the Good Gov

cles would not be unfairly handi-

from other Federal bureaus. It
