that he is no expert on the sub
ject and has much to learn, he
feels that much can be done to
improve the system.
Civil Service should not be a
means in ITSELF, Mr.. Young be-
lieves. 1T should be developed
and used in a way to give us
the best operated Government
possible"
I'm these perilous times, the
future of our Government de-
pends on how efficiently it can
operate. And that in turn de-
pends on the work performances
OF the employees we have. That's
why We need to strengthen Civil
Service wherever possible to
make it a more effective force
for better management"
Mr.. Young was reluctant to
discuss any plans he may have
in mind. Actually, have lot
to learn and want to make sure
of things before deciding some
OF the things to be done," he de-
clared.
In the conversation, Mr.. Young
was told that lot of Federal en-
ployes were jittery over their
jobs because of the change of
administrations.
Loyalty Will Be Rewarded.
you can say that I agree most
heartily with President Eisen-
hover in his repeated statements
that he favors a strong Civil
Service merit system and that
loyal and efficient employees will
be well treated" Mr.. Young de-
clared.
Close friends say Mr.. Young
always has had a strong feeling
for a career of public service.
They point out that as the son
OF Owen D. Young, one of Amer
lca's top industrialists, he could
have entered the business world
with much greater financial re-
wards had he wanted to.
Asked why he didn't return to
Government after a two-year
hitch as a Naval officer from 1914
to l946, Mr.. Young said he didn't
IKE the political atmosphere of
the Truman administration. "I
also thought there was too much
overstaffing in Government"
he added.
Asked if he felt that the Gov
ernment was still overstaffed,
Mr.. Young smiled and said
That's what I read in the
papers,"
Flexibility Needed.
Then. after a pause, he added
that sometimes when you think
that there is overstaffing in an
agency, events occur which show
C1at this isn't the case.
Mr.. Young said the Govern
ment lacks flexibility in ad-
justing employment needs. He
noted that some times an
agency-particularly in defense
work-may be overstaffed. Yet,
much heavier workload be-
cause of new defense needs may
eventually find the bureau over

Although his father was a
leading Democrat, Mr.. Young
has always been a Republican,

Britain Arms Planes
Training in Germany,
Provides Escorts
BY the Associofsd Press

LONDON. Mar. 14.-Britain
ordered tonight that her train
ing planes in Germany be fully
armed and provided fighter
escorts when necessary, putting
teeth into her protest against
the destruction of British
bomber by Soviet MIG-15s
Thursday.
The get-tough policy is in line
with that of the United States
Air Force, which lost a Thunder
Jet to Czech flown MICS Tues
day. The biggest British bomber
command exercise since the end
OF World War II will be held
over the continent next week.
The Air Ministry issued COM
munique on the subject soon after
the Russians disclosed the
seventh and last surviving men,
ber Of the four-engine RAF Lin
coin bomber they downed in
flames over the Elbe River valley
had died in their hands.
Protest Made to Russia.
About the same time. the
United States, British and French
high commissioners in Bonn pro-
tested jointly to Soviet Gen.
VASTLY I. Chuikov against Incl
dents involving the bomber and
two other British planes Thurs
day
They demanded punishment of
the MIG pilots responsible for
downing the bomber, for making
a mock attack on another
bomber and for buzzing a Brit
ish Viking transport over the
Frankfurt Berlin air corridor
and called for measures to pre-
vent repetition of such incl
dents"
The British Air Ministry's
communique said:
The air ministry, upon in
structionS of Her Majesty's gov
ernment, has issued instructions
that air exercises shall proceed
as usual in spite of the recent
outrage. Any training aircraft
will, however, be fully armed and
will when necessary be afforded
fighter cover"
Not Armed in Part.
A spokesman said the orders
referred to operational aircraft
on training flights as we'll as to
trainer planes.

dollars"
Despite his prominence and
long tenure in Congress-, Mr..
Reed-as a person-iS compara-
lively little known even in WASH
ington. He remarked yesterday
that he regrets his hard-driving
schedule prevents him from
keeping in touch with old friends
or meeting many new ones.
Mr.. Reed has been elected 18
times to represent a district of
four counties in Northwest New
York State near Lake Erie and
the Pennsylvania border. He
has always had Democrat OPP
position but prides himself on
never having asked any one to
vote for him. He always asked
people to vote for the Repub-
lican Party. He has kept his
main support especially in rural
areas. He was born on a farm
IN ChautuQua County.
Coached Cornell IL Years.
At Cornell he is best remem-
bered as an outstanding athlete
a wrestler as we'll as football left
guard who, after graduation,
coached for IL years. He also
was an outstanding student and
received his law as we'll as college
degree there-all financed by
his own work.
He practiced law for several
years and then went with the
New York State Excise Commits
sion for five years as lawyer
to enforce State liquor laws.
New York colleagues note he
was mot just picked out of a
hat" to run for Congress in 1918.
During the first World War he
directed an eight-State Red
Cross campaign for $100 million,
and a 19-State food conserva-
tion campaign. He went to Eu-
rope on a special mission for
the Hoover food relief organi-
cations. The American Legion
cited him for his service in nu-
merous wartime activities.
Always interested in tax and
fiscal matters, Mr.. Reed did not
get on the Ways and Means
Committee until the advent of
the New Deal in 1888. His
earlier career in the House was
especially + varied.
So staunch and "basic" a
Republican. as4.Mr. Reed could
hardly expect to escape criti-
cism FRONT Democrats and some
Republicans. And he has been
showered with plenty of it.
A h-and-ready debaters on
the floor. he has been charged
with stubbornness and difficulty
in compromising. He makes no
apology for being partisan. Even
some of his best friends believe
he has to Wrestle with his con-
science when it comes to saying
anything complimentary about
Democrats. -
But, even the Democrats-and
especially most Of those on the
Ways and Means Committee
commend Mr.. Reed for sincerity
and for his f1rmness in keeping
promises once given. They dis
close that in closed committee
sessions he sometimes seems
almost conciliatory. At least, he
lets the Democrats talk all they
want
In any event. Mr.. Reed has the
vast majority Of the Is Republi-
can and Democratic Committee
men behind him and his tax bill.
They are with him 100 per cent,
he told the House last week, in
the effort to make the Federal
tax structure more modern and
fairer to all concerned. And that
concerns about everybody in the
United States.
