pended.

The defendant declared that
the businessman, Charles Koons,
volunteered to buy" 10000
shares of the stock. The pur-
chase was not made in Young S
name, the defendant said.
Another Of the charges against
Young stems from his failure to
list the transaction as q loan in
testimony before the Senate SUBJ
committee.
Concerning an alleged $4,000
loan from another businessman
which Young also had failed to
mention, the defendant said he
was answering questions fired at
him by subcommittee members
from his memory without the
benefit of papers and that it
slipped his mind.
To obtain a perjury convic-
ton, Prosecutor William j. Pals

formation given by the defend
ant was done willfully and with
intent to deceive. The trial is
in progress before a jury and

.25% j. 5. Share
For City Asked
In Senate Bill
Bipartisan Proposal
Would Put Payment
On Fixed Percentage
By Don S. Warren

A bipartisan group of four
Senators today joined in intro
ducing a bill to raise the Federal
payment to the District to rs
per cent of city governments
cost.
The lead was taken by Sena-
tor Johnston, Democrat, of
South Carolina, who last month
told the Senate the Federal share
had fallen so low that the Gov
ernment was doing little better
than exercising "squatter's
rights" in the National Capital.
Co-sponsoring the bill with
him were Senators Nicely, Dem
ocrat, of West Virginia and Beall
OF Maryland and Payne Of
Maine, Republicans.
Would Set Fixed Percentage.
The bill, if approved, would
not only raise the amount of
the Federal payment, but would
regulate it on a fixed percent
age basis.
On the basis of the pending
1854 District budget of $143.8
million, the Federal payment for
the fiscal year beginning July
l would be nearly $50 million.
For the present fiscal year
the Federal payment is $11 mil
lion, although the District Rev.
enue Act of 1947 placed the
Federal share at $12 million.
Calls Plan Equitable"
The bill is expected to be con-
Sidered at hearings before the
Senate District Committse when
it takes up the problems of city
finance.
Senator Johnston told the
Senate today he hoped for ia
vorable action by the Senate
and said he was convinced a Is
per cent formula would be a
fair and equitable" acceptance
by Congress of it's obligation to
the National Capital.
Under the bill 81 million Of
the payment would be ear
marked to pay for water used
by the Federal Government, as
is done now.
The South Carolinian in his
address to the Senate March 2
declared the District was facing
serious financial conditions.
Burden of Taxpayers.
At that time he stressed the
Federal payment. once so per
cent, had dwindled to less than
g. per cent.
This developed, he said, in the
face of a huge increase in Dis
trict costs and mounting Dis
trict taxes.
Senator Johnston said that in
1852 District residents paid an
average of $128.61 in city taxes
or twice the average paid by
residents of other large Ameri-
can cities.
"The failure of the Federal
Government to make its fair
payment" he said. "has shifted
the burden directly to the tax
payers of the District"

E. Merl Young today admitted
he left his job as a $7,500-a-year
examiner with the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. for a $12, ,OO0-
a-year job with the Lustron
Corp. on the same day the RFC
approved a $40 million loan to
LuStron.
But Young testified, in his
perjury trial in the U. S. District
Court for the District of Colum-
bia that there was no connec-
ton between his resignation and
the loan approval.
Young said that he had de-
cided to go with Lustron some
time before. and that his leaving
RFC conceded with the loan
date by virtue Of accumulated
leave due him.
Resigned in July, I940.
One of the four perjury
charges against the defendant is
that he lied to a Senate Banking
subcommittee when he declared
he never had anything to do with
Lustron loan applications. Young
left the RFC on July 9, 1948.
He said he had been required
to sign a loan review board docu-
ment for forwarding to the RFC
board Of directors in connec-
tion with the Lustron grant.

rector had testified that the

Embrace Top Jobs
Executive Order Likely
This Week to Modify
Civil Service Structure

The Governments policy-mak-
ing and confidential positions
will be placed in a new job cate
CORY when the White House
issues the executive order re-
moving them from Civil Service,
Republican congressional leaders
said today.
Following their regular Mon
day conference with President
Eisenhower, the legislators said
the executive order would be
issued sometime this week.
They disclosed that the policy
positions would be placed under
a new category-Schedule "C"-
in which all positions that are
of a policy-making nature would
be separated from the rest of
the Federal service.
AT present, these jobs are
either in Schedule IA" expected
jobs or under the regular civil
service.
There are $4,000 positions in
the excepted Schedule "a" cate
CORY, 100000 in the United
States and $4,000 overseas. For
the most part, these are positions
requiring special skills.
Administration officials said
the new Schedule &C" would
make it possible for a clear dis
tinction to be drawn between the
policy-making jobs that the Re-
publicans want and the rank
and-flle positions in Schedule
"a" that will not be disturbed.
The Civil Service Commission
is now drawing up standards to
guide each agency in determin-
ing which of it's jobs are of a
policy making nature and
should be withdrawn from civil
service. THE csc will be the
final authority in deciding which
jobs should be removed from
merit system coverage.
