By the Aysoeiotsd Press

Senator Knowland, Republic
can, Of California predicted to-
day that Chief Justice Warren
will get an Overwhelming" vote
of confidence when his appoint
ment to the Supreme Court
comes before the Senate.
Senator Knowland. the Senate
Republican leader. said in an
interview he expects the Senate
judiciary Committee to approve
MIR. Warren's nomination at a
meeting "Wednesday. Approval
would send the appointment to
the Senate for action probably
Friday.
The California Senator said
he thinks most Of his colleagues
will agree with him that unevalu-
ated and unsupported charges
read into the record of a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee last
week over the protests Of some
members are mot worth any
serious consideration"
UnswOrn Accusation.
These included unsworn &C
cusations that as Governor Of
California, Mr.. Warrep had been
under the influence Of "a no.
torious liquor lobbyist" had ap-
pointed dishonest judges and had
followed the Marxist line.
The subcommittee approved
Mr.. Warren's nomination Satur-
day by what some members said
was a unanimous vote. But
Chairman LANCER and Senator
Eastland, Democrat. of Missis-
sippi said they had voted only
to send the matter to the full
committee, of which Senator
LANCER also is chairman.
The subcommittee acted after
hearing testimony by Deputy At
torney General William P. Rog-
ers and Warren Olney. assistant
attorney general in charge of the
Justice Departments Criminal
Division.
A committee transcript later
showed Mr.. Rogers testified that
a series Of charges had been
made by Roderick j. Wilson. de-
scribed by Mr.. Rogers as "a fugi-
tive from justice" Mr.. Rogers
said it was regretable that "the
Chief Justice can be maligned by
a man who is a fugitive from JUS
tice for perjury"
Wilson's charges were pre-
sented to the committee by Burr
McCloskey of Detroit, described
by Mr.. Olney as having a long
record of association with
Trots S~ite organizations. includ-

Employe groups also complain
that under the present system,
the commission chairman has
unlimited powers, serving as
prosecutor. judge and jury. I'm
der the old system when the
President had an administrative
assistant on personnel problems,
any unfavorable policy or regu-
lation issued by the csc could
be appealed to the White House.
Now, the employe groups COM
plain. they are practically barred
from seeing anyone in the White
House on personnel matters. And
their complaints are referred by
the White House to the CSC
chairman, the one whose deci-
Sions the organizations were
complaining about. The situa-
ton gives the chairman and the
csc unlimited authority to do
what they want, short of having
the President fire the commits
sioners.
On the other hand, such or
CARNATIONS as the National Civil
Service League urge that the
new system be given a fair trial.
The league declares that the
prestige of the CSC and the
civil service system stands to
be greatly enhanced as a result

tieup. Participating in top-level
Cabinet discussions, Mr.. Young

any wholesale raids on civil serv-
ice by the new Republican Of

Eisenhower Takes Hand.
President Eisenhower. who

Chief Justice post when Con-
gress was not in session, took an
indirect hand in the matter with
a statement in Palm Springs.
Calf. that Mr.. Warren was

Although there was some
speculation in the Senate that
Mr.. Warren might like an OPP
portunity to reply to the &C
cusationS. Senator Knowland in
dicated he didn't think that was
necessary. He said he was per-
fectly willing to accept the
committees expected approval
of the nomination as refutation
of the charges.
Senator LANCER. who spread
the unverified accusations on
the record, said they will remain
in the files for any use the full
committee might want to make
of them.

chairman. Nor did the csc
chairman attend cabinet meet
ings or participate in top level
policy matters that often in
volved personnel.
It was felt that by making the
commission chairman the Presi-
dents personal representative on
personnel matters, it would
strengthen the Civil Service
Commissions role as force in
Government when it came to
personnel policy decisions. It was
argued that too often in the past
the Budget Bureau or other Gov
eminent agencies actually deter
mined personnel policies. while
the csc did the mental paper
work chores.
COMPLAINTS - However
some Federal employee organiza-
tons as well as some commission
officials themselves, are wonder
ing if the new system isn't mis-
| take.
In the first place. the csc
chairman's job requires his pres
ence at the White House daily,
where he spends at least two
or three hours a day and some
times considerably more.
Shutting back and forth be-
tween the csc and the White
House he has little time for
important things. The result
is that even his own top asso-
ciates have a difficult time see
ing him when they want to.
The heavy burden placed on
the commission chairman also
isn't conducive for orderly and
well-planned personnel policies.
since he doesn't have too much
time for these matters.
Also, the new power given the
commission chairman has de-
tracted greatly from the autor-
ity Of the two associate commits
sioners, with the result that the
CSC today is largely a one man
show.

Mr.. Brown said he would go

termed the present phase "a

Later. taking part in a Dumont
television debate, Senator Bar

said he thought the country is
fundamentally in sound condi-
ton" and that the administra-
ton demonstrated by revising
the count of unemployed that it
is facing the facts.
But Representative Patman.
Democrat. of Texas said he
thought the country is in a deep
