Little Girl Without q Country
Smiles Way Through Red Tape

Because Grace's mother was out
job-hunting, her father had
brought her 3-year-old sister,
Gilda, along. Grace, naturally,
had to mind her.
She also had to keep an eye on
her school lunchbox, which was
1 packed with enough lunch for
three.
The special inquiries officer,
John v. Carney, turned to her
at the beginning and asked
Grace if she knew the difference
between telling the truth and
telling lie.
Grace stopped chewing her
gum for a minute and nodded
brightly.
'M-m-m m" she said. Then
she leaned over and kissed Gilda.
"Do you ever have to be chas-
tised by your parents for being
naughty?" Mr.. Carney asked
after little.
Grace smiled a little and said
yes.
Mr.. Carney's lined face seemed
to soften. Why" he asked.
Sometimes I dent obey my
mothers words" she said softly.
II drop dishes"
She lowered her eyelashes at
that, and then thought for a
minute. She looked at Gilda and
this seemed to remind her of
something.
Sometimes 1 Watch Television."
Sometimes I watch television
when I'm supposed to be doing
something else," she concluded.
Officer Carney thankfully re-
turned to his file. He asked the
father if he knew he could apply
on Grace'S behalf for voluntary
departure and non-Quota i'm
migration visa. This would mean
that Grace would leave the
country briefly and then return
legally. Mr.. Carney asked the
father what country he intended
to apply from.
Mr.. Hwang left the room to
consult with his lawyer. The two
little girls looked apprehensive.
Hell be back" said Mr.. Car
ney soothingly. He was seated
under a framed motto, which
said, "Our greatness is meas
ured by our kindness"
Grace's father and the lawyer
returned. Mr.. Carney composed
a legal report on the situation.
He said over the sound of crack
ling paper. as Gilda was investi-
eating Grace's school lunch box,

acter for the preceding five years"
he would grant the application
for voluntary departure-and
return.
All the adults seemed vastly
relieved, especially Mr.. Carney.
AS for Grace. she carefully but
toned Gilda's coat, took her little
sisters hand and left the room.

figures should show such a
surprising contrast in view of
the Eisenhower administration S
claim that it has been engaged
in a super housecleaning of
undesirable workers.
However, official figures show
that for the fiscal year ending
June 80, the Government fired
81 .626 employees for cause" This
compares to the 32,345 employees
fired for cause" during the last
full year of the Truman ad-
ministration.
Firings for ''cause" include all
loyalty-security cases as well as
those involving inefficiency and
incompetence, insubordination,
or any other factor which would
make an employees services not
wanted.
32,345 in 1852.
Official statistics show that
5000 employees were fired for
cause in 1850, 24,139 in 1851,
80. .345 in 1852, 81, asa in 1858, and
21,626 in 1854. All the years
are fiscal years. Thus, for ex-
ample, the 31,454 figure in 1858
represents six months of the Tru-
man administration and six
months of the Eisenhower re-
gime. The fiscal year 1854, which
ended on June 30. represents the
first full year of the Eisenhower
administration for which firing
figures are available.
Republican officials say the
reason the Eisenhower admin
istration has not fired as many
undesirable employees as the
Democrats is that there are a
lot less employees on the Gov
ernment payroll than when the
Truman administration was in
power.
The Governments present en-
ployment of 2.3 million workers
is about 220. 900 less than it was
under the Democrats. Republi-
cans say.
Hirings Decrease.
Also, Republicans say, the
Government hires far fewer en-
ployes now than it did during
the Korean war days. And many
of the firings for cause" are
among new employees who have
not completed their one years
probationary period and are
therefore eaiser to fire, they de-
clare.
Democrats read something else
into the figures. They say it
shows that the Republicans. de-
spite all their claims about rid
ding the Government of unde-
sirables, have been engaging
mostly in propaganda talk and
not action.
Also, the Democrats are
watching the 21,626 firing figure
for the fiscal years 1854 as a
possible clue in the loyalty-se-
curity controversy. The Repub-
licans contend that $500 em-
ployes were dropped for security
reasons during the 1854 fiscal
year.
However, Democrats say that
the vast majority of firings for
cause" in the Government have
always been in cases involving
inefhciency, incompetency, in
subordination or cases involving
such things as falsification Of
job applications. etc. They de-
clare that it is Uncomfortable"
that nearly one-third of the 2l,-
626 cause" firings listed for
last year should involve loyalty
security.

France took the action this
afternoon in a brief session
with West German Chancellor
Foreign Minister Konrad Aden-
auer.
The four statesmen put the
finishing touches on a series of
lengthy, detailed documents
which are to replace the two
year-old treaty of Bonn, never
completely ratified.
These documents set forth the
conditions under which the West
Germans will recover sovereignty
after almost a decade of occupa-
ton.
These documents, along with
series of annexes covering West
Germany's future relations with
the West and the status of allied
armed forces in West Germany,
are to be signed in a formal
session Saturday afternoon in
the French Foreign Ministry.
Treaty Signing Saturday.
Today's action cleared the way
for West Germany's incorpora-
tlon into a seven-power West
European Union and member
ship in the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization.
Treaties embodying these steps
are to be signed Saturday after
noon at the same time, pending
successful conclusion of addi-
tional talks to be held here.
The three Western powers re-
tanned few strings on West
German sovereignty to enable
them to negotiate with the Soviet
Union on German reunification
and on a peace treaty for a, re-
united Germany.
They also kept the right to
resume the occupation in case
OF emergency and power to cope
with the special situation in
Berlin.
European Union Studied.
Following this brief session
Mr.. Adenauer and United States
Secretary of State Dulles, Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Sir An
thony Eden and French Premier
Foreign Minister Pierre Mendes-
France went into session with
ministers representing Belgium,
the Netherlands. Luxembourg,
Italy and Canada to study the
projected Western European
Union"
This union. embracing a re-
vised and reinforced Brussels
alliance and grouping Britain,
France, the Benelux countries,
West Germany and Italy, is de-
signed as framework for West
German rearmament within the
NATO structure. Canada and
the United States are in the role
of guarantor nations.
The parley was considering
measures to supervise and con-
troll German rearmament under
such a pact. West German and
other sources predicted quick
agreement before nightfall.

Senator Ives, G. o. P. candi-
date for governor.
At the rally he praised Senator
Ives for having been "tremend-
ously helpful in carrying on our
battle in Washington" and said
he now is needed to continue
good government in New York.
The tour included a look at
several city highway projects
financed partly by Federal funds,
and the laying of a municipal
hospital cornerstone.
Journeying uptown, the Presi-
dent made his first stop at the
George Washington Carver
housing development which will
have 1.246 low rent apartments
for 5,438 persons.
It is a State-aided project
which will cost an estima>ed
