"The most effective way to

K. S. Thimayya said in letter
to the U. N. command that the

Gen. Thimayya said the two
letters were written by South

Korea's Foreign Office said the
letters protested Indian troops
firing on prisoners during two

CSC Officials Expect
President 10 Call for
Rider Repeal
Ways for Improvement
Of Promotion Discussed
At Los Angeles Session
By Joseph Young
Star Stoff Correspondent

LOS ANGELES. Oct. TO-
Civil Service Commission officials
today said they had real hopes"
that Congress next year will re-
peal the Whitten rider which
curbs promotions and also has
prevented thousands of Federal
workers from getting permanent
status.
The commission officials at
tending the annual conference
here of.the Civil Service Assembly
of the United States and Canada
disclosed that the Eisenhower
administration will strongly back
the commissions position that
the rider should be repealed.
They look for the President
specifically to call for Congress
to take such action.
Also, commission officials have
been meeting with key Republi-
can members of Congress con-
corning repeal of the rider and
are encouraged by the sympathe-
tic attention the legislators are
giving to the problem.
Chairman Philip Young and
his colleagues argue that the
rider not only is unfair to Fed
eral employees, but that it is
hampering the Republican ad-
ministration in its day-to-day
operations because of the COM
plexities and administrative red
tape involved.
Rider Modified.
The rider was modified last
year to permit the conversion of
indefinite employees to status up
to the number of permanent ap-
pointments that existed in an
agency on September /, 1850.
This would allow about 100000
permanent appointments.
The White House and the
commission have not yet author
lied these 100000 conversions,
chiefly because officials feel it
would pose too many headaches
in deciding which of the 100000
indefinite workers are entitled
to status.
Many of these workers have
passed civil service exams and
officials said that to give status
to only 100000 of them would
cause resentment and bad feel
ing among the employees passed
over.
Officials want the entire rider
repealed. so that the admins
tration can give status to all of
the indefinite employees it feels
deserve it.
Promotions Discussed.
Meanwhile. at the assembly's
final session. Federal personnel
officials discussed ways on how
to improve the Governments,
promotion opportunities for en-
ployes.

heads the NacionaliSta slate.

Reds Are Ready
To Start Korea
Talks, They Say
Propose Thut Allies
Send Delegations
To Punmunjom
BY the Assoeiu,ed Press

TOKYO, Oct. 10.-The Com
munists proposed tonight over
Peiping Radio that the Allies
and Reds send delegations tc
Panmunjom to discuss when anc
where to hold the Korean po-
litical conference and what ma
tions shall take part in it.
Estate Department officials
took under consideration the
Communists proposals. AS
far as a meeting place was
concerned, there was no quick
ly apparent reason why Pan
munjom might not be accept
able. There, too, was basis for
speculation, though no firm
indication, that the proposal
to discuss membership of the
political conference might
ultimately be accepted, also.
An agreement to discuss the
issue would not necessarily
mean an agreement to de-
eide it,
The Chinese-language broad
cast heard here quoted Red
China's Premier and Foreign
Minister. Chou En-lai, as saying
he wants reply to this, from
the United States and the U. N
Peiping said this is Premier
Chou's reply to Allied notes sent
recently to the Reds outlining
plans for the conference.
Fourth U. S. Note Sent.
The latest United States note
its fourth, was sent to Com
China and North Korea
Thursday. Three others had been
ignored.
The message told the Reds the
allies are ready to negotiate ano
added that "if your side has any
intention" of holding the peace
talks, there can be no reason
for your side to refuse to get on
with the conference"
The United States urged the
Reds to give an early answer.
The United States message in
formed the Communists officially
that the U. N. Assembly is stand
ing by the plan it approved Au-
gust % which would limit the
peace conference to the belliger-
entS plus Russia, If invited by
the Communists to sit on their
side. Strong opposition to the
United States-sponsored plan
was beaten down in the Assembly
before it passed.
Called for Parleys by Oct. %.
The truce agreement signed
July 81 called for the conference
to begin by October % to dis
cusS a peaceful settlement of the
Korean question, withdrawal of
foreign forces, etc. - which
could mean an almost unlimited
number of subjects.
The United States note was
sent to the Reds through the
Swedish Foreign Office as were
the three previous messages.
The only previous Red answer
on the peace conference came in
a long statement sent to U. N
Secretary General Dag Ham
marskjold September 13 after he
relayed to the Reds the August
% resolution.
The Reds said then they coulc
not accept the two sides only
composition and proposed q
"round-table" peace conference
with nom -belligerents such as
Russia, India, IndoneSia, Pakis-
tan and Burma sitting in.
