The committee said it favored
the normal plus interest" meth
cd of financing the Govern
ment'S retirement system. The
group said it did not believe
in pay as you go" financing
and said there was no need for
full reserve funding of retire
ment plans. Committee officials
described the present system,
whereby Congress at irregular
intervals authorizes Government
contributions to the system, as
'haphazard."
On the other hand. the COM
mittee said, "pay as you go
financing" would require sub
stantially greater Government
contributions in future years."

1t said normal plus interest"
financing was the most prac-

tribute its share of the annual
cost, plus the interest on the
unfunded obligations.
The committees final report
will be submitted to Congress on
Thursday and will deal with en-
ployes already retired, as well as
proposals for increased benefits
for non-service connected dis
abilities. One of the commit
tees proposals regarding retired
employees will be that Federal

same as social security benefits

charges that Fair Dealers still
man the civil service"
Writing in this weeks edition
OF the Saturday Evening Post.
Mr.. Martin charges that THE
people are being fooled
II they think they have a true
civil service. Some corrective
legislation is imperative.
Declaring that many perma-
nent-status employees received
their jobs during the Roosevelt
Truman administration through
political pull and non-competi-
tive oral tests, Mr.. Martin said
Probably not over one-uuarter
of our civil service employees have
taken what our British cousins
would regard as real competitive
examinations" The Iowan COM

Corning 10 Integrate
D. {. Teacher Lists

School officials pushed ahead
today with plans to integrate
teacher eligibility lists despite
objections from two Board of
Education members.
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips and
Robert R. Faulkner objected yes
terday to Supt. Hobart NJ. Corn
Ing's plan to submit a new, non
racial list of teacher candidates
at a board meeting on Thursday.
The two board members cited
the fact that some of the can
didates were examined by sep
arate examining boards and
given different tests. Mr.. Faux
ner said he felt merger of the
lists would be illegal. >
DR.. Corning recently an
nounced that he was planning
the merger on the basis of an
opinion from the corporation
counsel's Office that it would
be legal, and he reaflrmed this
stand yesterday.
The superintendent pointed
out that different examinations
have been given in the past
within one division of the school
system and similar merged lists
prepared annually for each di-
vision.
Other board members also
questioned the proposed pro-
cedure, however, and DR.. Corn
ing agreed to seek a formal
ruling from the city legal office.
Corporation Counsel Vernon
E. West today said he plans to
give the School Board a formal
ruling backing Dr.. CorningS
position by Thursday.
DR.. Corning reported that
$4,000 students and employees
bought the insurance last year
and S70,16O was paid in pre-
miums. Up to May, 1896 claims
were settled.
The existing policy provides
for maximum cash benefits of
$500 per accident and a
$4,000 maximum payment for
medical expenses. The medical
payment would increase to

Vice President Nixon will en-
gage in no name-calling and
there will be no verbal swats at
Senator Mccarthy when he gives
the Republican party's answer
Saturday night to Adlai Steven
sons Miami speech.
Instead, Mr.. Nixon, picked
personally by President Eisen-
hover to make the speech, can
be expected to emphasize the
administrators program. both
foreign and domestic.
That was the view expressed
today by various informed Re-
publican leaders who indicated
the speech is unlikely even to
reply directly to Mr.. Stevenson.
In his speech last Saturday
night, the 1852 presidential can
didate charged that Gen. Eisen-
hover has been soft-pedaling
any criticism of Wisconsin's con-
troverSial Senator Mccarthy be-
cause he has been persuaded
that "McCarthyism is the best
Republican formula for political
success"
That led to some speculation
that the administration would
take the opportunity Of Mr..
Nixon's reply to associate it.
self from Senator McCarthy's
activities.
Informed Republican sources
quickly dispelled any such ideas.
They said the White House has
not departed from its long
standing position Of making no
personal frontal attacks on Sem
ator Mccarthy and that Gen.
Eisenhower remained firm in his
intention of speaking out on
principles when the opportunity
offered.
1t was in this framework Of
intentions, it was said. that Gen.
Eisenhower spoke out at his news
conference last week against the
disregard of the standards Of
fair play" in congressional in
quiries - remarks obviously di-
rected at Senator Mccarthy.
Also in the same framework,
it was said, was the Republican
move to forestall Senator Nc
Carthy in obtaining radio and

speech

Young Cant Accom-
For Hagerty Figures
On Security 0usters

Chairman Young. Of the Civil
Service Commission. today said
he has no idea where White
House Press Secretary James c..
Hagerty got his information that
all but five of the first 1.456
security risks separted were Tru-
man administration followers.
Under questioning by Demo-
cratic members of the Senate
Civil Service Committee. Mr..
Young stated that the csc never
supplied such information at any
time. He added that statistics
on who hired the security risks
have not been kept by the COM
mission.
Earlier the chairman reported
a new increase in the total num-
Der of security separations.
bringing it to a high of 2,486
since the program started last
May q. OF this number 429 in
dividual files contained informa-
ton of subverSive nature. The
increases were due to new figures
from the Veterans Administra-
ton and Defense Department
agencies.
| Senator Johnston, Democrat,
Of South Carolina urged the
chairman repeatedly to state how
many of the 2.486 had been hired
since February l. 1858. But Mr..
Young replied that would be
almost impossible" to gather
such statistics. He added that
it would mean going through
each one of the files which are
scattered all over the world.
Later in the hearing Senator
Johnston repeatedly asked Mr..
Young whether he had inStruc-
tons not to break down the .456
figure which was announced last
October by the White House.
The chairman finally said with
a smile that all he had been au-
thorized to explain was the new
total Of the 2.486.
Under sharp and steady ques-
tioning. Mr.. Young. defending
the security program. sal d
acidly:
1T was not set up to ferret
out Democrats. It was set up to
get rid Of security risks"
AS Mr.. Young spared with his
Democratic questioners he re-
iterated that there were "a small
number Of corrections due to
neutrality-suspicious. of reporting
instructions" in the first overall
/ figure Of 1856. He said the
necessary changes in this figure
have been made and that the
new total Of 2.486 is correct.
The chairman said he had no
knowledge Of how many cases
there were Of proven disloyalty
or Communist membership or
how many cases had been COM
pietely adjudicated within the
new total.

In fact. he often has flustered

BY the Assoeio.sd Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 1O.-Thou-
sands of telephone calls and
kilograms poured in on the Co
lumbia Broadcasting System to-
day in response to a denuncia-
ton of Senator Mccarthy by
Commentator Edward r. Muir
row
CHS officials said the reaction
was overwhelmingly in favor OF
Mr.. Murrow. but that the calls
were coming in too fast to total
them Immediately.
Mr.. Murrow declared on his
"See It Now" televiSion program
last night that the Wisconsin
Republican repeatedly over
stepped the line between investi-
CATION and persecution.
He offered Senator Nice arthy
an opportunity to reply on q
later "See It Now" program.
CHS said 1t had not yet re-
ceived any indication from SEN
ator Mccarthy, who is in Wash
ington, as to whether he would
accept the offer.
Senator McCarthy's wife said
he had gone to bed early and
that he did not hear the pro-
gram.
Used Films of Speeches.
Mr. MulTow, who is member
of the CHS Board of Directors.
raped Senator Mccarthy in the
midst of a fight by the Senator
to force CHS and NBC to give
him free time to answer a Sat-
uEday night speech by Adlai E.
Stevenson.
Mr.. Murrow used films and
tape-recordings of Mccarthy
speeches and statements and de-
clared they showed that the
Senator employed half-truths as
q staple"
He accused Senator Mccarthy
of confusing the public between
internal and external threats OF
communism.
The CHS switchboard in New
York lit up Immediately after
the program.
The network reported that
1895 calls were received in four
hours, all but Isl approving Mr..
Murrow's views.
BY that time. 1889 kilograms
were received with only IA up
holding Senator Mccarthy, CHS
said.
This morning the flow of tele-
phoned and telegraphed COM
ments resumed.
Calls Favor MurrOw.
One CHS spokesman said he
personally answered Al telephone
calls today. and that 80 favored
Mr.. Murrow.
He said he did not know
whether this 20-to-1 ratio applied
to the total number of responses
received but that the vast ma
jority sided with Mr.. Murrow.
A CHS spokesman said Mar
garet Truman and Senator
Monroney. Democrat. of Okla
homa were among those who
telephoned congratulations to
Mr.. Murrow.
Says Senator Oversteps Line.
In his program Mr.. Murrow
said the usefulness of congress
sional committees such as that
Senator Mccarthy heads cannot
be denied.
1T is necessary to investigate
before legislating." he said.
But the line between inveSti-
eating and prosecuting is a very
fine one and the junior Senator
from Wisconsin has stepped
over it repeatedly"
His primary achievement"
Mr.. Murrow added, has been in
confusing the public mind as
between the internal and the ex-
ternal threats of communism"
