President and Aides
Will Hear Dulles
In Historic Broadcast
By Gornett D. Horner

A meeting Of the Presidents
cabinet will be televised and
broadcast tonight for the first
time in history.
President Eisenhower decided
this morning to open up to tele-
vision and radio coverage a spe-
cial cabinet meeting he has
called for Z pm. to hear a report
by Secretary of State Dulles on
the new Western defense agree
ments reached at Paris last
week.
Gen. Eisenhower made this
decision $50 that the American
people could hear Mr.. Dulles
report at the same time" as the
cabinet, White House Press Sec
retary James c. Hagerty told
reporters.
Cabinet meetings and what
goes on in them traditionally
are secret.
Requested by Networks.
Mr.. Hagerty said the historic
decision for televising and
broadcasting tonight's meeting
followed requests from the tele-
vision and radio networks that
it be done.
He said Gen. Eisenhower
agreed to the request because
of the special purpose of to-
nights meeting and the belief
that the American people should
hear Mr.. Dulles report.
Mr.. Hagerty did not mention
the obvious fact that the his
toric telecast and broadcast,
coming in the homestretch of
the Republican campaign to
retain control of Congress in
next Tuesdays elections, will
serve to dramatize what the ad-
ministration considers a signifi-
can't achievement in the foreign
policy field.
The Cabinet meeting will be
on the air for a half hour, from
7 to 7:30 o'clock. Mr.. Hagerty.
said he did not know whether
the meeting would continue as
a closed session after the public

U. 5. Employees
Tenure Setup
Stalled by Row
Social Security
Or CSC System
Is Busis of Issue
BY Joseph Young

The plan to give permanent
tenure to hundreds of thousands
of Government indefinite work.
ers has hit a snag, The Star
learned today.
The program is being held up
by a controversy between the
Civil Service Commission and
the Department of Health, Edu-
cation and Welfare as to whether
some of the employees should re-
main under social security or be
placed under civil service re-
tirement.
The csc wants all employees
qualifying under it's pending
career-conditional program to be
placed under the civil service
retirement system. Health and
Education wants these employees
to remain under social security
until they complete three years
of continuous Government serv-
ice. At present all indefinite
employees are under social Sc
curity and are not covered by
civil service retirement.
However. csc and HEW off,
cials are expected to reach a de-
cision this week on the matter,
thereby paving the way for the
presidential executive order
around November /.
Inist on Three Year Interim.
Secretary of Welfare Hobby
and her officials are insisting
that these employees should re-
main under social security until
they complete their three-year
period of continuous Federal
service. There is no controversy
about indefinite employees Sc
lected from civil service registers
who have completed three years
Of continuous Government serv-
ice. They will be given career
appointments and both sides are
agreed that they should be
brought under the civil service
retirement system Immediately.
It's the indefinites with less
than three years of continuous
service who are involved in the
controversy. Health and Educa-
ton officials say they deserve
the greater family suvivorship
/ protecaion benefits that they
would enjoy during their three
year career conditional period.
After that. HEW officials say.
they can then be brought under
civil service retirement.
csc officials argue that these
employees should be brought
under civil service retirement
coverage Immediately, since they
have been selected from civil
service registers and would have
been under csc retirement a
long time ago if it hadn't been

ton Of the Whitten rider, which
curbed permanent appointments
in Government, has enabled the
administration to go ahead with
it's career-conditional appoint

Another factor in the con-
troversy is the Kaplan Commit
tee report to Congress urging
that the civil service retirement
system be supplemented by So
cial security coverage for all
Government employees. The
Kaplan Committee was COM
posed of top administration Of

AS a result, Health and Edu-
cation officials argue that career

recommendation. The csc ar

Ali Revamps Cabinet
OF Pakistan 10 Deal
With Political Crisis
All Previous Ministers
And Assembly Ousted
By Governor General
BY the Associated Press

KARACHI, PakiStan, Oct. 25.-
Prime Minister Mohammed Ali
headed new and more powerful
government today while a "state
Of emergency" was maintained
to cope with Pakistan's disturbed
political situation.
The Prime Minister named a
new seven-man cabinet last night
after Governor General Ghulam
Mohammed dismissed all his pre-
vious ministers and dissolved
the Constituent Assembly. This
body had served as a national
legislature during the seven years
Of Pakistan's independence.
Declaring a state of emergency,
the governor general turned full
administrative power over to the
cabinet. Demonstrations and
meetings of more than five per-
sons were prohibited, and censor
ship was clamped on the local
press.
Mr.. Ali had cut short a visit
to the United States and arrived
back in Karachi Saturday, just
a few hours before the drastic
measures were announced.
Ali Takes Foreign Ministry.
He told the nation in q broad
cast that he accepted the gov
ernor generals mandate to form
a new government because "it
was my duty, which in this hour
of crisis I owed to my country"
The Prime Minister took the
Foreign Ministry himself. He
named Gen. Mohammed Ayub
Khan, commander in chief of
the army, as defense minister.
Gen. Islander Mira, the pres
ent governor of East Pakistan,
was named interior minister.
The opposition, including the
United Front which won an
overwhelming victory in provin-
cial elections in East Pakistan
last spring. had called for new
elections, charging the Assembly
no longer reflected true political
sentiment in the country.
Ghulam Mohammed said in
his proclamation that the As
sembly had 'lost the confidence
of the people and can no longer
function" He promised new
elections "as early as possible"
Disgruntled members of the
legislative body were reported
preparing to ask the federal
court for a ruling on whether the
governor general had the author
ity to disband the body. Legal
experts in the Assembly said the
governor generals order did not
actually dissolve the body but
merely halted its functioning.
The weekend political crisis
had been building up for Mr..
Ali for some time. The United
Front victory last spring in East
Pakistan was a blow. Two weeks
ago he lost the support of two
of the nations seven provinces
the Northwest Frontier Province
and the Punjab.
Decided to Rush Home.
While Mr.. Ali was in Wash
ington, the governor general
lifted restrictions on Office hold
ing for four former provincial
ministers who had been convict
ed on charges of corruption. The
four were political foes Of the
prime minister.
It was then that Mr.. Ali de-
cided to hurry home. He cut
short his American visit, cam
celed q two-day trip to Canada
and few back to Karachi. He
rushed from the airport to q
three-hour conference with the
governor general.
Mr.. Ali negotiated q big in
crease in United States aid on
his trip to Washington. This
may help ease the economic diff
ficulties which are partly to
blame for Pakistan's political
upheaval. n

Dulles Arrives:
Sees New Era

Met by President,
He Halls Spirit
Of Paris Meeting
By james {. Roper

Secretary of State Dulles re-
turned to Washington today
with the declaration that agree
ments he helped write at Paris
marked 'the beginning of new
era for Europe"
President Eisenhower and
diplomatic representatives from
West Germany and the North
Atlantic Treaty countries S
greeted Mr.. Dulles when he ar
rived at National Airport aboard
Military Air Transport Con-
stellation.
After preliminary handshak-
Ing. however, Gen. Eisenhower
retreated to the sidelines while
Mr.. Dulles commented for news
reel cameras on the Paris meet
ings which produced the West
ern agreement to admit a re-
armed Germany to the North
Atlantic Treaty.
Transcript of Remarks.
Soon after the President and
Mr.. Dulles returned to the White
House. the White House press
Office made available a transcript
of Mr.. Dulles remarks at the
airport. The text follows:
Il am greatly honored to be
met here on my return from
the Paris conference by the
President of the United States
and by the ambassadors of the
countries whom we met at Paris.
Il do feel that I bring back
word OF good tidings that is not
merely in terms of documents
we signed-important as they are
but in terms of the spirit which
animated all of our discussions.
and which I think mark the
beginning of new era for
Europe.
II shall be making, I believe,
a report in full to the President
and his cabinet meeting, and the
American people, tonight, so that
all I will say now is I do feel
that gratifying and perhaps deep
historic progress has been made.
And of that I will speak later.
Thank YOU"
Eisenhower Speaks.
AS Mr.. Dulles spoke Gen. Els
enhower stood beside his limou-
sine parked on the apron at the
Military Air Transport Terminal.
The wife of French Ambassador
Henri Bonnet greeted him briefly.
Then the President chatted with
1t. Col. William Draper, the
pilot who flew Mr.. Dulles home,
and James Rowley. head of the
Secret Service detail, while Mr..
Dulles spoke. Then the Presi-
dent called over to Mr.. Dulles:
YOU'D better come over here,
Foster, you're missing another
chance to get your picture
taken"
Gen. Eisenhower then. invited
Mr.. Dulles into his limousine.
A document was produced and
Gen. Eisenhower started reading
it while news photographers
swarmed around the presidential
automobile.
Planning for Adenauer.
Mr.. Dulles is expected to
tackle Immediately plans for
conferring with German Chan
cellor Adenauer, due here this
week; arrangements for replying
to Russia's latest bid for four
power meeting, and probably
several Far Eastern issues.
