Threat on President Elect
Asked 10 Be Made Crime
BY the Assoeiaied Press

The Treasury says there
should be legal penalties for
threats against a President-elect
and the Vice President.
Present law makes it a crime
to threaten the life or to in
flict bodily harm on the Presi-
dent.
Acting Secretary of the Treas
ury Chapman Rose, in a letter
to Speaker Martin yesterday.
said addition Of the President
elect and Vice President to the
law would aid the Secret Serv-
ice
Without naming any Incl
dents, he said the Secret Service
had been hampered in the past
in probing the few threats
against the President-elect and
Vice President.

agency B who does a similar
type of work.
Can Order Requirements.
The csc has full authority to
order such requirements of tenn
porary-indefinite workers by dis
placed career employees.
The new program will involve
all career employees who lose
their jobs in the future. as we'll
as those who have lost their
positions during the past year.
This latter group had been given
bureau rehiring priority rights.
Under the new program. they
will be given agency-wide re-
hiring rights and also will be
eligible for the CSC'S program
to find displaced careerists new
jobs.
csc officials have no official
estimate as to how many dis
placed careerists are now seeking
employment, nor how many will
be losing their jobs in the months
ahead. However, it's felt tens Of
thousands will be affected.
Employment Cut $4,000.
The Government already has
cut its employment by $4,000
during the last few months.
While much of this has been
done by not filling vacancies,
many employees actually have
been dismissed
The full impact Of congress
sional budget cuts have not yet
been felt in their entirety by the
agencies, and many more per-
sonnet cuts are expected in the
months ahead.
In the face of such admins
tration moves as the announced
1,300-job cut in the Internal
Revenue Bureau. including 900
here, and a 300-job reduction in
the reconstruction Finance
Corp, csc officials acted fast
to put the new program into
effect.
Bans "Chain Bumpings.
In another move, the COM
mission also ordered an end to
the series of chain bumpings"
in agencies involving career en-
ployes.
Career employees will have
dumping" rights in their own
bureau, but not on a depart
ment-wide basis as formerly. For
example, under the new program,
an employe in the Census Bureau
of the Commerce Department
would have dumping" rights
within the bureau, rather than
on the department-wide basis
that he formerly had.
Commission officials said dis
placed career employees will have
a much better chance of Secur-
ing new jobs by displacing tenn
porary indefinite workers than
by replacing other careerists.
The commission estimates that
under the old program. every
time career employe lost his
job. the series of chain bump
ingS affected about Is persons
in an agency. This resulted in
many career workers losing their
jobs to other career employees
and, in the end. hurt more per-
sons than it helped. the COM
mission said.
Commission officials said re-
striction of humping rights will
lessen the possibility of career
workers losing their jobs to other
careerists. And, meanwhile,
those careerists who lose their
positions in reduction in force
programs will get the chance to
replace temporary indefinite
workers, it was explained.

Federation to cooperate with
State and local civil defense
agencies.
The Federation revamped its
former resolution on naturaliza-
ton, recommending that foreign
persons in this country be de-
ported after five years unless they
declare their intention to become
United States citizens. In addi-
ton to businessmen and diplo-
matte personnel, the resolution
now excludes persons upon whom
the act would cause "unwar-
rented disadvantage to them
selves or the cause of freedom"
Foreign members had pointed
out that under the Federation's
previous resolution, children 5
years old would be deported as
we'll as old persons who couldn't
learn to read and write or who
have hopes of returning to their
property in their own country.
The Federation also amended
a former war veterans BENEFITS
resolution to include women as
well as men.

Reed Renews Fiqht
To Reduce Taxes BY
Cuttinu Foreign Aid
By Robert K. Walsh

Chairman Reed of the House
Ways and Means Committee in
sisted today that Congress could
safely cut income taxes and end
the excess profits tax June 80 by
trimming another 81 billion of
foreign aid spending.
That would decrease foreign
assistance to $3.8 billion. The
Eisenhower administration re-
Gently recommended $50 billion.
More than 81 billion originally
was urged by former President
Truman for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /.
Despite Mr.. Reeds insistence
that foreign economic and mill
tary OUTLAWS could safely be re-
duced to $3.S billion. in view of
surveys he said have not yet been
fully made public. House Repub-
lican leaders showed no enthusi-
asm for his views.
Encouraged by Cuts.
The leaders were encouraged,
however. by disclosures yester-
day by Senator Wiley and Rep
resentative Chiperfield, chair
men of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tons Committee and the House
Foreign Affairs Committee, that
the Mutual Security Agency has
been able to lop 1884 million
from the $50 billion estimate.
Those chairmen see a good
chance that still another $50
million might be taken off. One
top-level House Republican pre-
dicted a reduction of several
million more.
Mr.. Reed has made no secret
of his opposition to a Six-month
extension of the excess profits
tax beyond June 80, as desired
by President Eisenhower. The
New York Republican also wants
to let an II per cent annual in
dividual income tax reduction
take effect June 80 instead of
December 81 as provided in a
law enacted in 1850.
The Ways and Means Com
mittee will hold public hearings
next week on the proposal to
continue the excess profits tax
for six months. Mr.. Reed has
said he will not stand in the
way Of such a measure if a
majority of the committee sup
ports it. But there is no as
Surance the committee will
recommend an extension.
Cites $40 Billion Aid.
The chairman nevertheless
fired this opening blast against
continuance Of the tax levy and
in favor of a further slicing of
Mutual Security outlays:
Congress should, if necessary,
cut foreign aid spending an adj
ditional 50 billion in order to
give the American people income
tax relief and to permit the UNI
fair excess profits tax to die on
schedule.
"Since 1945 we have spent
some $40 billion in foreign as
sistance and there is widespread
evidence that the time has come
for curtailment of this program.
A 81 billion reduction, in order
that we may follow the action
already taken by Canada and
England in providing tax relief,
will still leave $3.S billion for
foreign economic and military
aid.
Just recently, so businessmen
sent abroad for the MSA to
look into how our money was
being spent in Europe have COM
pleted their report. Only parts
Of this report have been re-
leased to the public and these
parts have been highly critical.
I am confident that when the
full report is made available, as
it should be, that it will show
that a 50 billion reduction will
in no way jeopardize our for

Powell Hits New York
As City Of Terror for
Minority Groups
BY the Associated Press

Representative Powell, Demo-
crat, of New York, told House
investigators that New York is
city of terror for minorities'
and it's police commissioner
should be fired.
Every day he is in Office is
a disgrace to my town and to
my country" Mr.. Powell as
serted.
Mr.. Powell, Negro, charged
that Police Commissioner George
P. Monaghan made some kind
of an agreement with Justice
officials last July to make the
FBI keep hands off civil rights
cases in New York. He said it
prevented FBI agents from ques-
tioning New York policemen in
cases alleging police brutality.
Commissioner Monaghan has
denied the FBI ever agreed to
ignore such charges. The FBI
had no comment.
The Representative, testifying
before House Judiciary sub
committee probing the Justice
Department. said an agreement
was reached after FBI agents
inquired into the police-slaying
of John Derrick, a colored
Korean war veteran early in
1851.
He said Derrick was shot down
on Eighth avenue by patrolmen
in a police cruiser in full view
of witnesses.
