Security Tests Delay
Promotions Of 200
In Foreign Service
Dulles Wants Complete
Clearance for All
Diplomats on List
By Gornett D. Horner

Promotions of more than 200
Foreign Service officers are be-
ing held up for new security in
vestigations of some of them, it
was learned today.
The new Republican admins
tration in the State Department
wants to make sure that all those
recommended for promotion have
been cleared through adequate
Investigations before sending the
list to the Senate for approval,
officials said.
Special selection boards worked
for two months last fall picking
about Is per cent of the more
than 1900 men and women in
the Foreign Service for promo
ton. They submitted their rec
concentrations in December.
Since promotions of the career
diplomats have to be approved
by the Senate on nomination of
the President. the Truman ad-
miniStration held up the list for
action by the new administra-
ton. It was submitted to Don
old B. Lourie, new Undersecre-
tary Of State for Administration,
to pass on soon after he took
Office February 16.
! Apprehension Over Delay.
Normally, the coveted Foreign
Service promotion nominations
are sent to the Senate each year
within a month or two after the
selection boards complete their
work. The delay this year has
caused some career men to won
der if the new administration
planned to scuttle the promo
ton system.
Questioners are being assured
however, that the administration
is anxious to get the promotion
list to the Senate as soon as
possible and that it is being held
up only for a detailed check oe
security clearances.
The delay reflects one phase
Of a general tightening-up on
security.
Full Probe Demanded.
In the background is action

Committee at it's first meeting ir

A mother of six children who
violated the letter of the law by
working part time while receiv-
ing relief checks has agreed to
repay $1,000 the Welfare Board
says she has received.
The repayment, mandatory
under District law. will be made
at the rate of IS per month
to come from the $24.50 a week
she earns as a charwoman. She
has lost the $135 monthly relief
payment.
It will take her 20 years to re-
pay the $1,000.
The case came to light during
a new breakdown on relief roll
clients who supplement their re-
lief grants with part-time jobs.
The probe has disclosed obvious
fraud as we'll as legal inequities.
Flagrant Violation Cited.
BY contrast with the woman's S
case, and by far the most fla
grant violation, was that of an
other woman with three children
who was receiving welfare checks
on her claim that her husband
had deserted them. Investiga-
ton showed that the husband
not only was living with his fam
lily. but had a full-time job and
that the mother was working
part-time.
The District claims she owes
$4,000 and has a warrant out
for her arrest.

asked Congress to give cabinet
status to the Federal Security
Agency and designate it as the
Department of Health, Educa-
ton and Welfare.
Submitting his first reorgani-
Zation plan, Gen. Eisenhower
-~~~~~~~
Text Of Presidents Letter on Federal
Security Agency. Poee AS
said the move is designed ito
improve the administration of
the vital health, education, and
social security functions now
being carried on in the Federal
Security Agency by giving them
departmental rank"
The plan will become effec-
tive after so working days unless
1T is rejected by a constitutional
majority of either house-that
is 49 members of the Senate or
218 members of the House.
Mrs. Oveta Culp Hobby, now
Federal Security administrator.
will head the reconstructed
agency if the plan goes through,
White House Press Secretary
James c. Hagerty said.
Would Be 10th Department.
Mrs. Hobby already sits IN
cabinet meetings by invitation
OF the President, but the ad-
vanced rank would raise her
salary from $17,50O annually to
$22, 500.
The new department would be
the 10th. Until the Unification
Act was passed combining the
Army and Navy into a single
agency. there were 10 cabinet
departments in the Government.
The new departmental secre-
tary would have three major
aides-an undersecretary and
two assistant secretaries. The
plan also would retain the post
of commissioner of social secur-
ity. but would be filled by presi-
Dental appointment and REQUIRE
Senate confirmation.
The present social security
commissioner is Arthur j. Alt
myer.
Administration leaders see no
signs OF trouble in Congress for
the plan. House G. o. P. lead
ers promptly announced the
plan will be voted on in the
House next Wednesday.
Gen. Eisenhower said the plan
would not result in immediate
savings to the taxpayer but
added:
THE Improvement achieved
in administration will in the
future allow the performance of
necessary services at greater
savings than the present opera
tions would permit"
Gen. Eisenhower expressed the
conviction that all the agencies
now in FSA-including the So
cial Security System, Public
Health Service, Food and Drug
Administration and Office of
Education - should continue
within the framework of a single
department.
Advisory Setup Urged.
The President recommended
creation of an advisory COM
mittee on education, with men,
bership drawn from outside the
Government, to advise the Sec
retary of departmental educa-
tional programs and help in
sure the maintenance of respon-
sibility for the public educational
system while preserving the
national interest in education
through appropriate Federal
action"
Gen. Eisenhower thus appar-
emily sought to ward off trouble
that always is possible when Fed
eral activities in the health and
educational fields are involved.
The President stressed there
should be an unremitting effort"
to improve the health, education
and social security programs
which have proved their value" ="

Germany Is Still Facing Troubles Though Has Energy and Purpose

Refugees Aggravate Problem.
The problem is aggravated by
the fact that in large areas of
the German Republic more than
half the population is made up
OF refugees. many Of them living
in state-Supported camps under
wretched conditions. The eco
nomic burden created by the sit
uation has received considerable
attention. But the political prob
lem is no less formidable. The
refugees are forming themselves
into separate political parties,
emphasizing their status as dis
possessed and rightleSs people.
Until those who stay here can
be completely absorbed within
the economy and the social
structure of the republic, the ref
ugees will continue to represent
a political element of the most
dangerous sort.

there is more disciplined and
purposeful energy than in any
country in Europe. Combined
with the generous backing Of the
American taxpayer. this energy
is rapidly putting Humpty-
Dumpty back together again.
What that may mean for Europe
is perhaps the biggest question
mark in the free world today.
It is the question which makes
Germany the focal point Of Eu-
ropean hopes and fears.
Hopes Near Realization.
The hopes-at least the short
term hope that Germany can
take her place as the keystone
of European military and eco
nomic Strength-Seem on the
point of being realized. One OF
the safest bets in Europe today
is that within a short time. with
or without the ratification Of
the European defense commu-
nifty treaty, Germany will begin
rearming. The need for German
soldiers in Europe is too great,
and the desire for national SOW
ereignty too strong, for the re-
vival Of German military power
to be long delayed.
Germany's economic contribu-
ton to Western Europe has al
ready reached the point where
the business-minded American
can see the value received for
an investment Of nearly $3.5
billion.
Starting from the point where
allied bombers left it in 1945.
Germany's overall production is
now up so per cent over the 1886
level. Iron and steel production
the backbone of Germany's
industry-is expected to reach
18 million tons this year. In 1888,
at the height of Hitler's prewar
buildup. all Germany. which
then included the Saar and Up
per Silesia, turned out about 20
million tons. That record is ex-
pected to be beaten by Western
Germany'S steel mills by 1856.
There are, to be sure, a num-
ber of complaints heard here
about the handling of Ger
many's industrial revival under
allied supervision. These center.
in particular, on the systematic
destruction of the industrial
combines on which the bulk of
Germany's production depended
in the old days. We are ac-
cused of having made a fetish
of Decentralization, thereby rob-
bing German industry of much
of it's economic efficiency. From
the German point of view. the
essential operation of the cartels
was no more monopolistic and
sinister than, say. the operation
of United States Steel.
No Denying Recovery.
Whatever truth there may be
in this criticism, even the critics
do not deny the remarkable
extent Of German recovery. So
far, the production of finished
armament has been forbidden
Evening star., 1953-05-03

gestion that the United States
should absorb some 240, 900 refu-
gees assumes such special i'm
portance here.
These are some Of the fea-
lures of the German landscape
that do not encourage compla-
cency, either here or elsewhere
in Europe. From NATO's point
of view, they are problems which
have as much reality and signifi-
canoe as the material progress
which the country has made
since the war. If the over
all picture provides ground for
satisfaction, it is in terms of very
limited objectives.
The conclusion which forces
itself on the most casual visitor
is that the big problems facing
Germany remain to be solved.
And the future of NATO and
the free world depends in a very
real way on finding the right
answers.

However, the radioactive atoms

will have no effect on human
