Nixon Admits AFL
Wasn't Particularly
Enthused About Talk

= ST LOUIS. Sept. "a (CDN -
Vice President Nixon admitted
that delegates at the AFL con-
vention were not particularly
enthusiastic about some of the
things" he said in his informal
talk to them.
My purpose was to lay the
facts on the line rather than
indulge in demagoguery which
might have pleased them but
couldn't have been backed up
by action" Mr.. Nixon said after
his talk yesterday.
II am not disappointed. They
listened courteouSly.
II am very glad that I came.
1t was the Presidents idea that
I come out here and it was a
good one," he went on.
"a lot of good will come from
this"
Asked whether he believes the
AFL is anti-administration or
pro-administration, on the basis
of the delegates reaction to his
talk, Mr.. Nixon replied:
Il don't think you can cate
gorize the AFL. You have to
discuss specific individuals.
Whether the AFL is anti or
pro-administration will be de-
ternined by the effect it (the ad-
ministration) has on their take
home pay, security. protection
of their lives and jobs.
"On that basis, I believe the
membership will be on our side"
Mr.. Nixon described the au-
dience as having been very
courteous, which I expected"
Il thought that they listened
very WE'LL" he said.
Asked what he thought the
delegates verdict was on his
speech, Mr.. Nixon answered:
Il wouldn't venture to say
that depends upon what the au-
dience was voting on.
IF it was on what I said about
the Taft-Hartley Law, the ver-
dict might be unfavorable; if on
what said about the AFL's fight
against communism, it would be
favorable.

Nance will offciate at the five

The ceremony will be quite a

will not even have a new wedding
gown. She said she would wear
a blue linen straight dress which
she has worn before. Her head
will be covered by toast-colored
hat of tulle and velvet. She will
wear gloves to match the hat.
Daughters to Attend.
Only guests invited are busi-

the offspring of Miss Hayworth's s
marriage to Orson Welles, and
the Princess Jasmine, 31a, like

reer persons who registered for
the program are not eligible to
replace indefinite workers be-
cause they were in excepted jobs
when separated from the Gov
ernment. he said.
Mr.. Murray declares the COM
mission is obligated to find new
jobs for these 700 employees be-
cause they are career workers
Commission officials say jobs are
being sought for these people,
but not through the displace-
ment method.
Sees Efforts Defied.
Mrs. Katharine Crowley, sec
retary- y-treasurer of the career
employe organization, said agen-
cies are defying the commissions
efforts to get new jobs for career
workers.
"And the commission can't do
anything about it because it does
not have the legal authority to
force the agencies to hire these
employees she said.
Mrs. Crowley also accused most
bureaus of promoting indefinite
workers and changing their job
descriptions to avoid getting rid
OF them and replacing them with
displaced careerists.
Both internal politics and per-
sonal patronage have a great deal
to do with the reluctance of su-
pervisors and officials to replace
indefnites with careerists, they
charged.
The commission has not given
a breakdown of how many in
deflnites there are in each Job
category. However, figures were
given to members of Congress
showing there are now 1904
indefinite employees in clerical
Jobs.
The commission, about three
weeks ago. announced a new
get tough" policy to require
agencies to replace indeflnites
with career workers. Mr. Muir
ray. a former Agriculture De-
partment economist, charged
that the csc has been unable to
make any appreciable progress
since that time.
Action Held Needed Now.
IF the commission hasn't done
much during this period, when
there has been so much interest
in our problem, what will it do
when the commissions interest
lags and it turns to other prob
lens? The time to clean up the
situation is right now. and only
presidential intervention can
accomplish this"
Mr.. Murray also declared that
a presidential order will make
it certain that, in future reduc-
tions-in-force programs, en-
ployes involved will have assur-
ances that adequate machinery
is in effect to find them new
jobs"
Mr.. Young, in his speech on
Tuesday night, defended the
commissions career placement
program.
I'VE have a good career place
ment program in operation" he
said. 1T is the best program Of
it's kind that the Federal service
has ever had. It is realistic and
workable and it is working.
