The Senate measure would re-
peal the Thomas rider outright.
The House committed bill, for
all its fancy language, would
leave the Thomas rider virtu-
ally intact. That's why Federal
employees are hoping the Senate
confereeS will stick to their guns
and insist on retention of the
Senate measure.
Some Of the House Civil Serv-
ice Committee members say they
would prefer the Senate bill, but
that they lust know" the House
would never stand for outright
repeal of the Thomas rider.
AS a matter of fact. in 80 cases
out of 100, the House and Senate
adopt conference reports without
question.
RETIREMENT-Eliot Kaplan,
New York attorney and civil
service expert, who is chairman
of the committee studying the
Governments retirement system,
has assured the House and SEN
ate Civil Service Committees
that his group will make every
effort to bring in its report and
recommendations before July /,
1854.
The committee, which was
created by Congress, was due to
report by December 81. How
ever, the group asked for an ex-
tension to June 80. 1854, and this
was approved by the House and
Senate units.
Some of the legislators, how
ever. were disturbed over the fact
that. if the report was not ready
until June 80. 1854, this would
mean Congress could not act on
any changes in Federal employe
retirement and survivorship in
surance benefits until at least
1855. However, Mr.. Kaplan as
sured Congress his committee has
every intention of completing its
report before the June 30, 1854,
date and to have some prelimi-
nary findings ready by the end
of this year.
Mr.. Kaplan said the extension
was asked for to make certain
that all phases of the report
could be wound up by that time.
He said that, if Congress wanted
to go ahead with any phase of
civil service retirement legisla-
tion before that time, his COM
mittee would make every effort
to supply Congress with the nee
essary information.

Name Of Fare Expert
For Transit Study 10
Be Revealed TODAY

The name of the outside ex-
pert being brought in to study
the Capital Transit Co.'S fare
system, was to be revealed today.
This was brought out last
night by Brig. Gen. Louis w.
PrentisS, the Engineer Commits
sioner. during "Your Commits
sioners' Report" on WMAL-TV.
The expert presumably will
study the transit firms request
for higher rates. now before the
Public Utilities Commission and
scheduled for hearing shortly.
Another of the studies probably
will concern the actual operation
of the transit company.
3 Seek to Restore Funds.
1 In another matter. Commis-
ssioner Spencer told reporters on
the program that the board will
ask the Senate to restore all or
IA large part of the appropria-
tion cut from the District budget
by the House Committee.
Taking as an example the
issue of civil defense. Mr.. Spencer
said maintenance of the present
warning system alone costs more
than the total appropriation
granted by the House committee.
Nursing Funds Cut.
Other aspects of the District
budget were discussed. Com
missioner Camalier explained
that the House committee had
eliminated funds to pay for
nursing personnel at the new
Blue Plains institution. He said
he is sure this was an oversight
and that the funds to pay for 81
workers will be restored by the
Senate.
! A reporter asked Mr.. Camalier
J about the plight of 81 employees
of the District Rent Control Of
sfice who have not been paid
for the last 10 weeks. Mr.. CANA
elier said the bill is in conference
and that he has been informed
by Chairman Simpson of the
House District Committee that
the measure will be reported out
to Congress either tomorrow or
Thursday.
Bryson Rash, WMAL COM
mentator, was moderator.

ate making sharper personnel
cuts than the House.
With a logjam on .appropria-
tions bills, the agencies and the
employees involved are anxiously
awaiting the outcome of the
House-Senate conferences on the
various money bills.
The largest batch of layoff
notices went to National Pro-
duction Administration employees
some 1900 of them. Only a
small percentage of these en-
ployes have any hopes of being
retained. Commerce Secretary
Weeks has announced that. if
Congress approves the admin
iStration's request for an extern
sion of controls and an expan-
sion of business services. then
the new unit to be set up will be
stated with as many former
NPA employees as possible. This
unit, however. will not be nearly
as large as NPA.
About TOO dismissal notices
have been sent to Census Bureau
employees, although there are
hopes that many of these will be
resclnded. The House eliminated
the 700 jobs. but the Senate put
most of them back. Census Bu-
reau officials are hopeful that
many of the jobs will be saved
in House-Senate conference, but
they are taking no chances and
sent out the notices as precau-
tionary measure.
Among the agencies that have
sent out 30-day notices are the
Housing and Home Finance
Agency the Labor Department,
the Health, Education and We'll
fare Department, the Civil Aero
nauticS Administration and some
of the defense units. These agen-
cies hope some of the notices can
be rescinded. However, the lay
off of 900 employees announced
for Internal Revenue Bureau and
the 233 in the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. and 1900 in the
Bureau Of Engraving and Print
ing will not be recalled. These
were the agencies own economy
moves.
LEAVE-The House and Sen
ate conferees on the measure
to repeal the Thomas leave rider
have been selected. The House
conferees are Representatives
Rees of Kansas, st. George of
New York and Corbett of Penn
sylvania, Republicans. and Muir
ray of Tennessee and Davis of
Georgia, Democrats. The Sem
ate conferees are Senators Carl
son of Kansas, Duff of PennSyl-
vania, Jenner of Indiana. Re-
publicans, and Johnston of
South Carolina and Nicely of
West Virginia, Democrats.
The confereeS are scheduled
to meet later this week. AS
pointed out here Sunday. the
Senate-approved bill is far su-
perior to the House committees.

To LET Almost Fourth

The Treasury Department has
announced plans to fire 1900 Of
the 5000 employees in the Bureau
Of Engraving and Printing during
the next IL months.
The job reductions will result
from a modernization program
designed to save IS million q
year, Secretary of Treasury
Humphrey announced last night.
Those affected will be both
skilled and nonskilled workers,
as well as 10 apprentice plate
printers, Treasury officials said.
Although the flrings will be
spread over a 12-month period,
several hundred layoff notices
will be sent out Immediately.
The Bureaus layoffs are the
second major dismissal action
taken by Treasury within the
past few days. Last Thursday,
Secretary Humphrey announced
that 1900 jobs would be Topped
off in the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. 900 of them in WASH
lngton. . '@
All of the Bureau Of Engrav-
| ing and Printing iisnjSSals will
be in Washington. Secretary
Humphrey said that wherever
possible workers who lose their
jobs will be rehired by other
Treasury units.
The Secretary said the job
cuts will be possible because of
a modernization program which
will reduce the number of per-
sons needed to operate machines
and handle currency.

meeting, which took the greater
part of an hour. Senator Bridges
said he had agreed as chairman
of the committee to get the APP
preparations Committee either to
withdraw the amendment or not
carry it further, but to SubSti-
tute for it an expression of this
Governments opposition to ad-
mission of Red China to the Sc
curity Council.
"All the leaders present and
the President expressed opposi-
ton to the admission of Red
China to the U. N. as one of the
provisions of the Korean truce"
Senator Bridges told newsmen.
FIatIy Opposed to Red China.
Senator Bridges said opposi-
ton to the admission of Red
China extended not only to the
possibility of its being a condi-
ton of the Korean truce, but
under any circumstances at
present.
He explained, however. that
he was not saying what might
happen in the future.
The congressional delegation
said Gen, Eisenhower did not
ask that the rider be withdrawn,
but they explained that ne set
forth his objections to it.
Gen. Eisenhower. they said,
felt that it embodied a threat"
to the United Nations.
Senator Knowland of Califor-
MIA, chairman of the Republican
Policy Committee, said he
thc1ght the President was op-
posed to making a conditional
grant of funds to the U. N. that
would be subject to some future
action that might be taken.
Senator Knowland brought out
that the sense of today's meeting
was that this Government not
only would vote against the ad-
mission of Communist China to
the Security Council but would
work actively to prevent such
development.
President Eisenhower told a
news conference last week in ef-
feet that he opposed Red China S
admission to the Security Coun-
Gil as long as it was subservient
to Soviet Russia.

u. 5. Expects 10 Rest
Fraud Case Against
Clovis Walker TODAY

Prosecutor William A. Cal
lagher was expected to rest his
case today against Clovis D.
Walker, former official of the
Agriculture Departments Cot
ton Branch, charged with con-
spiracy to defraud the Govern
ment.
When the Governments case
ends, Defense Attorney william
E. Leahy says he will move for
dismissal of the charges against
Walker. Bases of his motion,
he said, will be that no con-
spiracy has been proved and
that information as to Agricul-
tural cotton buying, allegedly
passed on by Walker to a deal
er's agent, was not secret, con-
fidential or classified.
Yesterday the agent, Dyke Gull
lum, former representative of
Loutfy Mansour. Egyptian cot
ton dealer, testified that Walker
had told him of a scheduled
meeting of the directors of the
Commodity Credit Corp, to dis
cuss a phase of cotton buying.
CablegramS Identified.
Mr.. Cullum also identified two
cablegrams he had sent to Man
sour and said the information
contained in the cables had been
divulged by Walker.
One message, dated April Is
1851, read, in part: Conferred
with Walker Sunday I. . will re-
quire several days negotiations
between cotton (and) grain
branches before presenting plan
for CCC board of directors ap-
proval involving $500 bales.
Will keep close contact and wire
developments"
A subsequent message from
Cullum to Mansour stated, in
part: Il told Clovis of the latest
contacts made by United States
representatives of the MISR
group. Clovis agreed that !
should write you before making
a deal. in view of the conversa-
tion the three Of us had at the
luncheon"
Congratulated On Sale.
At another point. the message
read: I'm my conversation today
with Clovis Walker, he informed
me of his recent telephone con-
versation with you. wish to ex-
press my regret at your recent
illness and also, at the same time,
congratulate you on the progress
Of your sale Of cotton to the De-
partment of Agriculture ="
In February, 1852, Mansour
sold 10000 bales to the United
States for $22 million.
The Egyptian cotton dealer
was named co-defendant in the
indictment, but he is still in
Egypt. Walker and ManSour are
charged specifically with conspir-
ing to deprive the Government
of fair and unbiased services.
The maximum penalty for the
offense is S years imprisonment
and $4,000 fine.

cutting the case is Attorney Vim
