avid campaigner. She has served
two terms in the Minnesota
House of Representatives. In a
field of five candidates for the
House nomination in September,
Mrs. Knutson had 11,069 votes.
Her nearest competitor had
5,938.
Four years ago, the last off,
year Congressional election, the
Republicans carried the 7th dis
trict $4,000 to 10000. and the
9Th district. $4,000 to 10000. The
DIP has a job on its hands to
reverse these results on Novem-
ber 2.
The Republicans insist they
will hold all their present five
seats in the House and speak
hopefully of gaining the. 3rd dis
trict seat, now held by Repre-
sentative Weir, DIP. Ed Willow,
the Republican nominee, was
defeated two years ago by Mr..
Weir by $4,000 to 10000 votes
In 1850. this district went DIP
$4,000 to $4,000.
The other six districts are re-
garded as likely to return the in
cumbent members of the House.
Uncertainty over which way the
farm and rural vote will jump,
however, leaves considerable
doubt in some minds, including
the writer's. Another district, the
sixth, now held by Representa-
tive Marshall, Democrat. is listed
as a marginal" district-since it
was carried by the DIP with less
than SIS per cent Of the total
vote two years ago. Marshall
however, is expected to come
through a winner.

cession of committing British
power to Europe, which cleared
away problems and made the
final agreement possible.
New Sessions Scheduled.
After such a promising start
there is every hope that the re-
naming steps can be taken
firmly and quickly. Within COM
ing weeks a series of new con-
ferences are scheduled to trans
late the broad agreement Of the
ministers into detailed legal
terms.
In the German capital, experts
of the four powers will get down
to work on the complicated busi-
ness of amending and revising
the Bonn treaty to restore Ger
man sovereignty. In Paris. an
other working group will tackle
the question of enlarging the
authority of the Supreme Allied
Commander in Europe and pin
pointing the precise powers OF
the Brussels Treaty Organiza-
ton.
Finally, an early meeting is
KIP ected between Premier
Mendes-France and Chancellor
Adenauer, to work out terms OF
a settlement for the dispute be-
tween France and Germany
over control of the Saar indus
trial basin. Although no men,
ton of the Saar appears in the
final act of the conference, Mr.
Mendes-France made it clear
from the beginning that settle
ment of this issue was an impor-
tant factor in his support of the
London agreement.
9 Ministers Meet October 20.
Each of these remaining jobs
presents problems and possible
pitfalls. There Is room for dis.
agreement particularly when 1t
comes to defining exactly how
the system of ornaments con-
troll within the Brussels organi-
zation will work, and specifying
the weapons to be limited and
inspected. 1t is expected, how
ever, that work will be finished
in time for a meeting of foul

German sovereignty. The fol-
lowing day final terms OF
BRUTO will be submitted to
the nine London conferees. And
on October %, if all goes we'll
the whole proposition will be
presented to full meeting Of

After that the political hurdle

1880 Useless Jobs
Abolished, Unit Says
By The A,socioted Press

Some 1880 Defense Depart
ment jobs have been abolished
in the past nine months as use
less. The House Civil Service
Committee said yesterday. and
the action will save $95 million
yearly.
The committee made public a
prelimary report on its cam
paign, waged by a subcommittee
headed by Representative Cor
bett, Republican. of PennSyl-
vania, against the practice OF
assigning both uniformed and
civilian personnel to the same
job.
1t said most of the job reduc-
ton thus far has resulted from
a job reappraisal in the Air
Force, and that "a much larger
additional saving" is expected
when the Army and Navy report
fully on their efforts.

however, to be considerably more

Gains Predicted.

seats in the 1st (Cincinnati, Sd

perhaps gain in other mar

But in all the races, one i'm
portant factor Is just how vigor-
ously the Taft wing of the
party will exert it's influence.

a tactical air force and small
navy can get under way soon
afterwards. But more important
than this perhaps, the London
conference has. as Mr.. Dulles
says, salvaged many of the es-
sential elements of EDO and pre-
served in BRUTO the seeds OF
an organization which some day
may provide the cornerstone of
a real federation of Western Eu-
ropean states.
Specific Points Listed.
| Specifically the ministers
agreed to:
/. A quick end of allied occu-
patton of Germany. Although
allied forces will remain, the
occupation government will be
abolished and the full authority
of the Bonn government recog-
nized. AS of now the allied high
commissioners are instructed to
act in the spirit of this decision.
In other words, many of the
functions of the occupation gov
ernment will be suspended i'm
mediately.
2. Invite Germany and Italy
to join in the 1948 Brussels al
lance against aggression. This
pact provides for automatic sup
port by all member states if
one is attacked. Under the terms
Of the agreement the treaty will
be strengthened and extended
to make it a more effective focus
of European integration."
3. Assurances of military sup
port for the organization by the
United States and Great Bri-
tain. The United States will
renew commitments made to
EDO. Britain-as a member of
the Brussels organization--has
taken the unprecedented step
of firmly committing four full
divisions and an air force to
control of the Brussels organ
ization.
4. Broaden the powers of the
Supreme Allied Commander in
Europe to provide tighter con-
troll and inspection of contin-
mental European armies.
Reunification Agreement.
Finally there is solemn re-
| statement of the defensive ma
ture of the new military coali-
ton and it's adherence to the
policy of the United Nations
For it's part, Germany promises
formally that it will never use
| force in an effort to achieve
reunification.

ration is a tribute to the minis
ters and technicians gathered
here. When one thinks back or
the, almost complete policy vac
uum and the atmosphere of pes
simism that followed the deatf
of EDO, the result seems almos
miraculous.
The miracle is partly explained
by the fact that all the minister
at the conference realized jus
how desperate the situation was
Particularly in the case of Chan

BY The A.soeioted Press

counted "sure winners" for IL

lieved to be ahead in IA other

Republicans are believed al
most certain to win" in New
Hampshire, Kansas. Nebraska

to be "out in front" in six other
contests, the Times said.

1t said too many of the indi-
vidual battles" are too close to
make any forecast of the final
outcome, but that present indi-
cations are "the next Senate will
be closely divided-whether Re-
publicans or Democrats are in
the majority"
The Senate now has IS Demo-
Gratis, 40 Republicans and an In
dependent, Senator Morse, Of
Oregon. who has said he will
vote with the Democrats in or
ganizing the Senate. The Times
said:
/ "The Democrats are believed

"If these trends were to con-

Redistribution proposal for postal

Mr.. Summarized made his

The Postmaster General de-
clared the $500 fiat pay raise
sought by postal employee unions

it would lead to similar raises for
other Federal employees.

Mr.. Wolverton said such prac-
tees are Wasteful and costly.
NACA-The National Advi-
sorry Committee for Aeronautics
is using new approach this
year in trying to win the Civil
Service Commissions backing on
proposed legislation to Congress
to place the agency's salaries on
a wage board basis.
The agency contends the low
pay scales of the Classification
Act put it at a disadvantage in
competing with private industry
in attracting and retaining the
type of scientific and engineer
ing personnel it needs.
In an effort to win the CSC's
support, NACA has suggested it
serve as a pilot test for the en-
tire Government service to see
if wage board systems would be
more feasible than the present
Classification Act system for
classified employees. The csc
has promised to study the pro-
posal but has not given NACA
too much encouragement.
INVESTIGATIONS-The Civil
Service Commission has changed
its rules to enable it to reopen
cases after 10 months when they
involve false statements, decep-
ton or fraud in connection with
employees obtaining Government
employment.
Under previous rules. the CSC
could not reopen a case after an
employe has been on the job for
ID months. Under the new rules,
the csc may investigate these
types of cases without any time
limitation and may order agen-
cies to fire employees found guilty
of fraud or false statements.

Consequently, the unions are
guardedly awaiting the specific

Employe leaders realize they

workers. But they want to be sure
that such benefits will not re-

inducement for employees to join
