Hindu Mobs Battle
New Delhi Police as
Nehru Opponent Dies
Demonstration Erupts
On Death in Prison
Of Syomo Mookerjee
BY the Associated Press

NEW DELHI, India, June 23.-
Club-swinging police and Hindu
extremists battled in the streets
of India's capital today in the
wake of the death in political
captivity of Syama Prasad Moo
kerjee. a major opponent of
Premier Jawaharalal Nehru.
Mookerjee, 52-year-old leader
of the extremist Jan Sangh
Party, died early today in Srina-
gar, capital of Kashmir. where
he was jailed five weeks ago for
defying a ban on his entering the
state. Seizure of Hindu-owned
lands by the predominantly Mos
lem Kashmir State government
had caused Jan Sangh agitation
and violence in the neighboring
Punjab.
COnstabIes Charge Mob.
The government attributed
Mookerjee's death to a heart
attack following pleurisy and said
he had been moved to a nursing
home when he became i'll.
News of his death brought
1000 demonstrators into streets
Of the old sections of the city.
Police officials said constables
charged the mob with clubs and
arrested 20 demonstrators after
four policemen were seriously
wounded"
Police took special security
measures throughout the capi-
tai.
A spokesman for Mookerjee's
Jan Sangh faction said until
details were forthcoming, his
group could say nothing, but
when we know more. rest as
sured we will have a great deal
to say" Mookerjee's supporters
were expected to charge the
Nehru government had killed
their leader.
Government Concerned.
Krishna Kriplani, secretary to
Education Minister Maulana
Abul Azad, who heads the cabi-
net in Prime Minister Nehru's
absence, said the government
was somewhat concerned be-
cause people are naturally bound
to get excited over an event of
this sort"
Despite the immediate vio-
lence, however, Nehru was seen
here as the ultimate gamer from
Mookerjee's death. He was the
only opposition leader able to
match Nehru's strong personal
ity and had even been viewed by
some observers as q future gov
eminent head in the even Of the |
Prime Minister'S death. Nehru's |
leadership of India-yet to be |
seriously challenged-now ap-
pears stronger than ever.

Representative Keating, Re-

of the subcommittee which re-

bitter disappointment at the full
committees action. .e>

that Justice Clark should again

testimony of former Attorneys

McGranery, failure to hear Mr..
Clark leaves many unanswered
questions. ~,'",
1T should be emphasized that
the subcommittee at no time has
suggested an investigation of the
actions of Justice Clark while on
the Supreme Court bench. In
issuing an invitation to him to
appear, the subcommittee only
decided that no one should, by
assuming a judicial post, acquire
immunity from questioning ON
acts done or omitted before his
appointment to the bench.

Senate Probe Asked
Of Plan Affecting
$4,000 U. 5. Jobs
Monroney Demands
Inquiry Into Civil
Service Practices
BY loseph A. Fox

A demand for a Senate inquiry
into civil service practices to-
day followed a White House
announcement that President
Eisenhower will issue an execu-
tive order soon taking job
security away from thousands
Of Government employees blan-
keted under civil service by
President Truman in 1947.
The Eisenhower order, ex-
planned at a White House news
conference late yesterday by
Civil Service Commission Chair
man Philip Young, is aimed at
l34, 900 Of the so-called Schedule
A employes-generally specialist
categories-but Mr., Young did
not know how many would be
involved.
He pointed to 5000 legal posi-
tions, however, as being affected
at least in part. Veterans will
not be touched.
The new move comes under
the new administrations an
nounced program for "improv-
ing" the merit system, but the
"unblanketing" order, as Mr..
Young said, will facilitate dis
missals Of holdover employees.
This in turn will create vacancies
that can be filled by the new ad-
ministration, which has heard
grumbling from party faithful
all over the country about the
slow pace Of patronage.
MOnroney Asks Inquiry.
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma, a member Of the
Senate Civil Service Committee,
said he thought his group should
summon Chairman Young for an
explanation of the projected
order.
~ think old-li11e civil service
employees who were placed in
schedule A by department heads
who wanted their specialized
services should be protected
against a patronage grab" the
Senator said
Il know that many of them
were so classified in the Defense
Department because of the secret
nature Of their work and these
career people should be pro-
tected."
i Filled without Competition.
The Schedule A jobs are filled
without competition and the in
cumbents. in ordinary circum-
stances, may be removed by
agency heads at will.
The workers against whom the
new order would be directed are
those who started out in the
competitive service-that is, won
their appointments through the
examination procedure - but
later went into higher-grade
Schedule A jobs by appointment.
In these, there would have
been no protection against dis
missal, and the Truman order
was designed to correct this Sit
uation by giving them q status
under which they could be re-
moved only for cause.
Forecast In March.
The impending move was FORE
cast by Gen. Eisenhower in a
statement March S, in which he
said that the Truman order in
s1947-and q companion order
in 1916 undermine the foun-
dation on which a genuine ca
reer service should be built"
+ Chairman Young said that all
the Schedule A jobs-66.000 in
this country and $4,000 over
seaS-are to be reviewed to de-
termine: I'd which should re-
main in Schedule A; (2) which
should go to Schedule c, and
CD which should be put back
In the competitive service.

Rhee Raises Price for Truce,
Insists 1t Be Paid or He Will
Pull ROKs Out of u. N. Army
Demands Pact With
u. S. and Withdrawal
OF Allies and Reds
BY the Asseeiatod Press

South Korea's defiant Presi-
dent yesterday raised his price
for a truce in Korea and hotly
rebuffed his critics even as spe-
cial emissaries were flying here
from Washington bent on get
ting him back in line.
After Gen. Mark Clark had
spent two days trying to get him
in tow, tough old Syngman Rhee
emerged and demanded terms
which a United States Embassy
source here promptly labeled
totally unacceptable to the U. N.
command"
Rhee, in a CHS interview after
the Clark conferences, said his
price had to be paid or he would
pull out the South Korean army
from Gen. Clark's U. N. COM
mand and go it alone.
His terms: A mutual security
pact with the United States; si-
multaneous withdrawal of both
U. N. and Chinese forces from
Korea; resumption of the war if
three months post-armistice talks
get nowhere.
To See U. S. officials.
Mr.. Rhee's firm stand was
voiced shortly before he was
scheduled to go into conference
with Assistant United States
Secretary of State Walter s.
Robertson and Gen. ]. Lawton
Collins, United States Army
Chief of Staff, who are hurrying
here from Washington.
Mr.. Rhee's release Of more
than $1,000 anti-Red Korean
prisoners upset a truce just as
it was about to be signed and
drew down upon him criticism
from abroad.
Lester B. Pearson, president of
the U. N. Assembly. cabled yes
terday he was shocked to hear
Of the unilateral action. Brit
aims Winston Churchill bitterly
denounced him Monday.
THE U. N. authorities should
thank me for it instead Of call
ing me a violator," Mr.. Rhee
shot back in his interview yes
terday.
Cites Inconsistency"
did any one representing the
U. N. or the United States ever
raise the question at to what
the Communists did with our
prisoners of war? No one did
question the violation of all in
ternational law by the Commu-
nists, but every one is brave to
condemn me as a vialtor. I do
not understand such in consist
ency."
Mr.. Rhee, showing no signs Of
backing up in the face of the
mounting criticism, said the U.
N. was risking failure through
a "make-believe peace"
He said United States soldiers
had been told earlier in the war
they were fighting a war in
Korea that otherwise would have
to be fought in their own back
yard. Then Mr.. Rhee asked:
Have you truly eliminated the
danger of having to fight in your
own back yard?"
Ambassador Sees Paik.
United States Ambassador Ellis
o. Briggs conferred in Seoul
with South Korean Prime Min
lister Paik Too Chin who only
recently returned from the
United States. Presumably they
discussed the situation arising
from the prisoner releases.
Returning to Tokyo, Gen.
Clark told reporters:
Il have nothing more to say
than I said Monday"
Asked about his latest brief
meeting with Mr.. Rhee, he said,
II only stopped in for a few
minutes"
Carries Secret Letter.
Mr.. Robertson, who had a con-
f1dential talk with President Eli
senhower, carries a secret letter
to Mr.. Rhee from Secretary of
State Dulles. He was expected to

Juneau-Work is expected to start Monday or Tuesday on the first Alaska relief project for fishermen with the install lation of a dock at Rake.
 Highways Engineer Irving Reed announced the release of $25O, 900 for relief jobs from Washington. He was notified of the allocation by Governor Heintzleman.
 Reed said work o1 the dock at Rake was dependent on clearance from the U. s. Engi- neers. Other jobs are now lining up in southeast and western Alaska.

DOarU wants It. ,-. He also charged that in ad- dition to the Governor, Ter
 ritorial Auditor Neil Moore
 and Attorney General Gerald Williams have refused the use of the latter's services for pre-
 paration of a formal protest against the dam.
 According to Rothwell, a letter from Williams denied the requested assistance with
 the statement it is in the opinion of this office that the Territory through the gover- nor's office should be the pro-
 testing petitioner" Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported from Anchor age that Williams said it is only logical that the Territory
 would choose the site for building dams and that a sur. vey was being made to deter mine if fish will be lost. "The project appears economically sound, maybe we can afford to
 lose some fish if it means, a start of a big industry" Will Hams stated.
 In Juneau, Governor Heintz. man branded the protest t the project as premature because the permit is only pre- liminary. He said it is necess- ary to encourage new indus try.
 Cannon indicated if the pre- liminary permit was granted it would be only one more step until the official approval would be forthcoming.
 Cordova (R)-Ira Rothwell levelled sharp criticism at the governor, attorney general and territorial auditor this
 week for what he describes as
 refusal to aid the Alaska De- partment of Fisheries board in a protest against afederal per-
 init for a dam on the salmon
 rich Copper River.
 He sad the board fears the
 proposed dam will ruin the salmon runs.

 Reed announced that the maximum cost of each sepe- rate project has been set at $25, 900. He also reported his departments share of the pro- jects costs will be financed as deficit spending in the First Division but the Third Divi- sion has a balance of $37, ,000 for construction.
 Wednesday the Anchorage Times correspondent in Jun eau reported that federal in- sistence that the relief pro- jects be justified economically threatened to hamper the pro gram.

Project Would XIII Salmon Spawning Say Fjshevnsan

The Kodiak Chamber of Commerce added it's protest to the Federal Power Commis- sion on the proposal of the Harvey Aluminium Company to construct a dam on the rich red salmon Copper River.
 w. A. Pat" Cannon ex- plained the proposed water project to the chamber and asked them to file the protest.
 A majority of the members voted to place an informal pro- test with the FPC, the Alaska Fisheries Board and with Governor Frank Heintzleman.
 An application for a pre- linninary permit was filed in August with the FPC by. the aluminium company stating that the proposed water power project would be located on the Copper River, appoximate- H 85 miles above it's mouth. It would consist of a concrete dam 560 feet high above river surface forming a reservoir extending about 51 miles up the Copper River and 55 miles up the Chitina River with a capacity of about IS, 500, 900 acre feet.
 Alaska fishermen have lodged protests with the FPC and various agencies. C l.. Anderson, director of the ADF has protested the move.
 Fishermen explain that the dam will result in the destruc- tion of one of the richest fish ing areas in Alaska.
 Ira Rothwell, Cordova mem- Der of the ADF has issued a statement charging the gover- nor with refusing the fisheries board the right of counsel of the attorney general. "No for maj protest has been filed and, what's more unless drastic changes are made immediately there isn't apt to be any --- even though the fisheries
