charged that the State Depart

a passport for European travel
unless he agrees to remain silent,
while in Germany, regarding a
dispute with the department.
The juriSt asked the q. S. Dis

to order that the passport be
issued.
The allegations were contained
in a suit for injunction and

Eisenhower Acts 10 Give

BY the Associated Press

President Eisenhower yester-
day hailed a new era in Indian
affairs" in signing legislation
providing for ending Federal
supervision over the Menominee
tribe of Wisconsin on December
81. 1858.
The President noted in a state
ment that the bill he approved
is the first to be enacted as an
outgrowth of the congressional
policy on Indian affairs which
was outlined in resolution
Congress passed last year.
The policy calls for termina-
ton of Federal supervision over
the affairs of each Indian tribe
as soon as it is ready for in

Careerists Protected

A bill to prevent the firing or
downgrading of Government
permanent status employees eX-
cept for incompetence or dis
loyalty was sponsored yesterday
by Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia.
Mr.. Broyhill'S bill provides
that as long as indefinite en-

permanent workers should not be
affected by observation-disclosures
programs.
II am fed up with this business
of seeing Federal career en-
ployes with long years of efficient
service out on the street because
of reductions in force" Mr.. Broy-
hill said in introducing the bill.
THE tragedy of it is that
while one agency may have to
fire career workers to reduce
staff, another may be expanding
and hiring workers new to the

added.

verbal exchanges unmatched by
any of the previous storm and
strife of the hearings that opened
early this month.
He admitted later that he lost
his temper and regretted par

Goodwin. He made clear, how
ever, he planned to fight on if
it took all summer. despite his
assertion that $4,000 of tax
payers money was being wasted
on an "Alice in Wonderland in

Group Led by Case
Views His Choice
OF Site for Bridge
BY George Beveridee

Senator Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, from vantage
point ip/the stern of a District
police launch. peered toward the
marshy expanse Of Roosevelt
Island and commented:
II wonder how many people
who live around here have ever
been on that iSland-one out of
10. so, 1902"
The police launch nosed
around the downriver tip of the
island, near the Virginia shore
where shallow water a stones
throw wide separates the main
body of land from smaller
island known at various times
as Little Island, Small Island
and South Island.
In Line of Site.
South Island, as Senator Case
prefers it. is in the line of a
new site he has proposed for a
downtown Potomac bridge that
would feed on a direct line into
New Hampshire avenue NV.
An earlier proposal, backed by
District officials for a bridge
from E street NV, would have
crossed the main part of Roose-
welt Island
The Roosevelt Memorial Asso-
citation, which decided the land
to the Federal Government 20
years ago as a wilderness me-
mortal to the late President,
opposed it as an illegal en-
croachment. The opposition,
backed by Senator Case and
others, helped beat the idea.
The Senator goes to New
York today to explain his new
proposal to Roosevelt ASSocia-
ton officials. Since South Island
is legally a part of the decided
property, some officials here ex-
pect the association to also OPP
pose the Case proposal.
Leads Exploration.
A longtime conservationist
himself, the South Dakotan led
q Shoreline exploration of the
island yesterday to get first
hand look.
II want to explain to the as
ISOLATION people" he said, that
my idea would advance, not in
jure, the islands purpose"
1T doesn't seem right" he told
reporters, that a memorial
should be something to keep
people away from. 1t seems to
me the value of a wilderness is
not just to have it, but to make
it available to people"
The Senator agrees no We
hicles should be permitted on
the island. But his plan calls
for access by foot via steps from
a bridge sidewalk to South Is
land, plus a footbridge between
the small island and Roosevelt
Island proper.
One of the Senator's main
points is that the bridge would
be low, passing through the
islands trees and tieing into
Virginia highways just about
at grade. Spanning the Potomac.
it would be no higher than the
Lincoln Memorial Bridge.

Woman Is Awarded
$3.50 in Row Over
N Repair Payment

An Alexandria woman has
been awarded a $3.50 judgment
against a televiSion repair man
who had her arrested when she
stopped payment on a check be-
cause she was dissatisfied with
his services.
A jury in Fairfax Circuit Court
awarded the sum to Mrs. Louise
w. Trytko of 1902 Cameron Mills
road, Alexandria.
Defendant in the suit was S.
Howard Shepard. former partner
in an Alexandria television firm.
According to Mrs. Trytko, her
set was picked up by Mr.. Shep-
ards repairman in 1852 and she
was told that it needed SIS worth
of repairs. Mrs. Trytko said she
decided to have the set brought
home without any repairs, and
made out Sc check to pay the
service charge.
Before the check was caShed
Mrs. Trytko had a friend look at
her set and he found it needed
only a $1.65 tube, she claimed.
Mrs. Trytko promptly stopped
payment on the check to the
Shepard firm, because she felt
the diagnosis was incorrect.
The televiSion firm had Mrs.
Trytko arrested on a fraud
charge. but the case eventually
was dismissed.
Mrs. Trytko's false-arreS suit
against Shepard originally was
heard last March and at that
time she won a $4,000 judgment.
Circuit Judge Paul Brown or
dered the original decision set
aside, however, and the lower
judgment was awarded Mrs.
Trytko in the second trial this
week.

Weeks Sees Boost
In Prosperity if Reds
Cooperate on Atom
A. ne A.soeioled Press

BOSTON, May 22.-Secretary
of Commerce Weeks said today
the worlds standard Of living
could be increased 25-fold If
Russia would join other nations
in an all-out attempt to put
atomic energy to work for peace
full purposes.
Mr.. Weeks based his estimate
on information which, he said.
indicated that new methods could
raise the worlds atomic energy
reserves to the equivalent of 80
trillion tons Of coal.
Converted to Industrial en-
ergy, this would mean, he said.
that "the millions behind the
Iron Curtain could share with
us a universal prosperity 25-fold
beyond today's standard of living.
Shortage in Training.
However, Mr.. Weeks did not
60 into details on his picture of
what life could be like in such
an atomic-powered world. His
remarks, prepared for a golden
anniversary ceremony at Went
worth Institute, dealt mainly
with what he called an alarm
ing shortage" in training Of
American scientists and engi-
neerS.
Mr.. Weeks told the technolog-
ical school, which was inaugu-
rating it's president, H. Russell
Beatty, that "the Soviet world
not only may be catching up
with us in the production OF
atomic power, but certainly is in
the total numbers of trained per-
sonnel to operate and increase
that power"
"Unless our famine in poten-
Itial know-how is overcome" he
Said, "the results in relation to
economic growth and national
security could be exceedingly
dangerous. Standing under the
shadow of the awful H-bomb
mushroom, I am disturbed by
the prospect Of a prolonged slow
down in the output Of trained
brain power"
Cites Russia's Position.
He added:
"The United States now has
about 5000 scientists and 500,-
900 engineers. There is current
shortage of engineers Of about
10000. Estimates indicate that
as many as 10000 new engineers
will be needed annually for mo-
bilization readiness and to keep
the national economy running at
q high level.
The number Of engineering
graduates, at a peak Of $4,000 in
the 1949-50 academic year, will
reach a low of about $4,000 this
year. 1t will rise again to about
$4,000 in 1857.
1.-THE Soviet Union had in
1852, according to estimates by
scientists, about 100000 scien-
fists and 100000 engineers. Ap-
proximately $4,000 Russian en-
gineers were graduated in 1858,
more than twice the United
States output"
