Jensen Renews Plea
To Restrict Filling Of
Civil Service Jobs
Asks Hiring Limit Of One
In Four Vacancies, Gives
Free Hand to Eisenhower
By the Assoeiaied Press

Representative Jensen, Repub-
lican. Of Iowa renewed today his
plan to reduce Federal payrolls
by permitting only one in each
four vacancies to be filled.
But this year. he said, he will
seek to limit its application to
civil service positions. He would
exempt appointive jobs, he said,
to give President-elect Eisen-
hover a free hand on appoint
ments.
During the last several years
with Democrats in control of the
administration, the proposed
limitation has applied to both
appointive and civil service
positions.
Aims at 10 Per Cent Cut.
Announcing plans for a House
speech on the subject today, Mr.
Jensen said he would offer his
plan as an amendment to vari-
GUS appropriations bills limiting
the filling of vacancies until a
10 per cent overall reduction has
been made in each agency.
The Jensen amendment" was
first proposed in 1850. It was
attached to some appropriation
bills in 1851 and last year Con-
gress accepted it in passing the
appropriations for the Interior
Labor, State. Justice. Commerce
and Agriculture Departments, in.
dependent Offices and the Fed
eral Security Agency.
Some Already Reduced.
Mr.. Jensen said he would moi
offer his amendment on appro-
priations fol agencies where the
Bureau of the Budget or the ap.
preparations subcommittee haC
already provided for a 10 pei
cent personnel cut below the
staff size last year.
In these cases, he said he
would propose that the Jensen

vember "a, 1948. This was
shortly after Mr.. Truman won
election for four more years in
the White House.
Senator Mccarthy released
the photostat shortly after he
had suggested a Senate investi-
cation to learn whether Senator
Monrohey, Democrat, of Okla
homa, received a cash contribu-
ton from Mr.. Grunewald for
his 1850 senatorial campaign.
Sought Out on Floor.
Senator Mccarthy released the
photoStat regarding President
Truman to reporters who sought
him out on the Senate floor,
while. the Senate was in recess,
to ask him for more details about
the Monroney matter. He called
his Office to have an aide bring
a photostat of a letter from Sen
ator Monroney to Grunewald to
the Senate floor, where he turned
it over to reporters.
Senator Monroney was in Chi
cago when the correspondence
was released by Senator Nc
Carthy. His Office got in touch
with him and sometime later re-
leased this statement quoting
Senator Monroney:
II do not know Mr.. Grune-
wald. During the primary sew
eral friends in Washington were
interested in my campaign. In
some instances, small contribu-
tions were given to these friends
by others for the various clubs

which contains no Federal COM
pulsion, just as the Senate pre-
pared for a rules fight, which is
closely tied in with the civil
rights issue.
A novel feature of the Dirksen
bill is that it would offer grants
of Federal funds to States which
take steps to safeguard the
rights and privileges of all c1ti-
zens.
A bipartisan group of 19 Sena-
tors, most of whom favor a
stronger Federal hand in pro-
tecting civil rights, will launch
their fight this afternoon for
new rules to curb the filibuster
which has blocked civil rights
bills in the past.
Liberals Facing Failure.
The liberals in both parties
are advocating a new rule that
would allow 40 Senators to shut
off debate. The existing rule
requires 81. They are doomed
to failure, in the opinion of
leaders on both sides. A strong
coalition of Republicans and
Southern Democrats will oppose
any quick change in Senate rules
at this time.
The introduction of the Dirk
sen bill was taken as notice that
the new Republican leadership
intends to do something about
civil rights this year. even if
no change is made in the fill
buster rule.
The effort to emphasize that
civil rights is largely a State
responsibility, and the omission
of Federal compulsion. brings
the D1rksen bill into close line
with the position taken by Pres
ident-elect Eisenhower during
his campaign.
Eleven States already have
dealt with civil rights, and the
general promised to do all he
could to get the remaining 81
to act.
Bill Complies With Platform.
Senator Dirksen said his bill
also spells out the pledge in the
1852 Republican platform.
THE bill would set up a Fed
eral commission on civil rights
and privileges" Senator Dirk
sen said. 1.-The reason for in
Guiding privileges is that such a
commission might not only op-
crate in the field of employment
discrimination, but also concern
itself with discrimination in the
field of voting and lynching.
This substantially spells out
the pledge made by the Republic
can Party in 1852. which in es-
sence suggests Federal action
toward the elimination of lynch
ing and poll taxes, but also en-
phasizes the fact that the pri-
mary responsibility in this field
is at the State and local level
and that there should be an
elimination of duplication of
activities to avoid the establish
ment of a new bureaucracy"
Led by Senator Anderson,
Democrat, of New Mexico, the BIZ
partisan group of 10 is attempt
ing to set new precedent Of
having the Senate review it's
rule book at the start of new
Congress-, as the House does
every two years.
Both sides admit the Senate
has a right to amend its rules.
The real fight is over the ques-
ton of when and how. The lib
erals feel that unless they can
persuade the Senate to review
its rules as a whole at the start
of the session, they will never
be able to place any new re-
striction on f1libusters. Any
amendment introduced after the
session gets under way would be
referred to committee, with lit
tie or no chance of floor action
