Negro Family Moves;
Violence Blamed
BY the Assoeiated Press

CHICAGO, May A Negro
family has moved out of a South
Side public housing development.
yielding, Donald Howard, 90
said. to a nine-month "reign of
terror and violence"
l., The previously all-white Trum-
bull Park homes project has
been the scene of many racial
disorders since Mr.. Howard, his
wife and two small children
tlnoved in last July 80. H
T Mr.. Howard, who did not say
where he was moving, expressed
the belief that white mobsters
and hoodlums who stormed my
home" will continue to harass
10 other Negro families who
moved into Trumbull Park after
the Howards.
A special detail sometimes
numbering as many as 1000
men has been on duty since
last summer, but Mr.. Howard
said police protection was in
effective and some police officers
seemed more intent upon pro-
tecting the white families in
Trumbull Park from me and my
family"
There was no immediate COM
ment from police officials.
Mr.. Howard'S decision to move
came while his appeal is pend
ing from a court eviction order
The order was based on the
Chicago Housing Authority s
contention that Mr.. Howard s
income was higher than he re-
ported when he applied for an
apartment. Mr.. Howard is a
former mail carrier.

u. n. Diplomat S Remarks
, BY the Associated Press

JERUSALEM, Israel section,
May 4.-Israel protested to the
United States yesterday against
parts of an address in Philadel-
phia Saturday by Assistant Sec
retary of State Henry Byroade.
The protest said in part:
1.-THE Israel government re-
CARDS the passage on immigra-
ton in. an address made by the
United States Assistant Secre-
tary of State as unjustified in
reference in matters which are
purely Israel's own concern.
The. right of every Jew to immi-

principle of Israel policy and
legislation. -
In his speech Mr.. Byroade said

should compose their differences,
and suggested that for it's part
Israel remove from Arab minds
"the specter of unlimited immi-
grafton to Israel"

Good Government
Slate Wins ii Biu !.
Rockville Vote

The slate that helped enroll
the most new voters in Rock
vile. Md, also has walked of
with the most votes in the city's
biennial municipal elections.
This is the slate put up by
the Citizens for Good Govern
ment and headed by Dickran
Y. Hovsepian. the city's new
Mayor.
The Good Government slate
scored an overwhelming victory
yesterday in the race for Mayor
and four City Council seats. II
won out over the two other full
states to climax one Of the Bit
terest election campaigns in
Rockville history.
Mr.. Hovsepian received 1,47g
votes, compared to 610 for Ed
ward H. Hit and SAT for j. War
rem Milor.
The winning councilmen, all
on the Hovsepian slate, were
John E. Oxley. who polled 1,640
votes to head the list; Wendell
r. Turner, 1.469; Alexander j
Greene, 1,409, and James B
Robertson, 1921.
One of the issues had been
the fact that three of the Good
Government slate are Federal
employees, and it was charged
they were violating the Hatch
Act Mr.. Hovsepian, an Army
Map Service employee, and the
others had discussed the matter
with the law officer Of the Civil
Service Commission. The new
Mayor also received clearance
from his employer.

opera ton either by the Civil
Service Commission or as an
added provision to the Senate
approved legislation repeating
the Whitten rider.
Mr.. Campbell proposed:
/. Immediate granting of pro-
bationary status to all indefinite
employees who have passed civil
service exams to retain their jobs
or were selected from civil service
registers in the first place. In
definite employees who had not
passed civil service exams would
retain their present indefinite
status.
2. Agency heads then would
be authorized to grant perma-
nent status to as many of these
probationary status employees as
their full-time job authorization
budgets allowed. Permanent
status would be given in the Or
der of seniority.
3. All permanent status en-
ployes who now occupy indefinite
jobs by reasons of promotions
would be given permanent status
in their new jobs.
4. All employees who previously
had permanent status and who
were rehired and placed in in
definite status because of the
Written rider would receive per-
manent status.
S. All present permanent status
employees would be guaranteed
retention of their status as a re-
suit of repeal of the Whitten
rider.
Mr.. Campbell cited several
reasons why he felt the AFGE
plan would solve the conversion
problem.
First, he said, it would give
an immediate degree of job pro-
lection rights to indef1nites who
have passed civil service exams.
Under the probationary appoint
ment they would still have job
retention rights over other in
definites who had not passed
civil service exams during the
period while they were converted
or waiting to be converted to
permanent status.
Mr.. Campbell also said the
plan would protect non-veterans
if any agency faced a reduction
in-force program. Non-veteran
careerists have feared repeal of
the Whitten rider, declaring that
indef1nites with veterans pref
erence automatically would have
job-retention rights over them
in any reduction-in-force pro-
gram.
Under the AFGE plan any
agency facing a reduction in
force would limit its number of
permanent status appointments
and would keep some of the in
definites in the probationary
status until the employment sit
uation in the agency was sta
bilized Then the probationary
indefinites would get permanent
status. Mr.. Campbell said this
would protect the indefinites in
the probationary status, since
the first to be fired would be
indefinites who had not passed
civil service exams. At the same
time it woold protect non-vet-
eran careerists against dismissal,
he pointed out.

Court Denies Motion

| Federal Judge Matthew F. Me-

Government motion to dismiss q
suit which contends that the
National Capital Planning Com
mission Illegally approved the
proposed Inter-County Belt Free
way through the nearby Mary

Notes Need for Plans. ?
In brief notation. regarding
the Governments motion, Judge
MCGUIRE wrote:
mo ruling possible without
plans being eXtant and sub
mitted."
Asked about the notation,
Judge MCGUIRE said without the
plans the court could not deter
mine whether or not the road
way fits into the parkway sys-
tenn. .s 5000.
81. Maryland road officials hope
to connect the belt route at a
point outside the park with the
controversial southeast leg of
U. S. Route 240
| Judge McGuire's ruling left
the suit substantially where it
was when he took the Govern
ment motions under advisement
| in March.
Suit Filed by Trio.
The suit opposing the belt free.
way was brought by owners Of
three homes near the park Sec
ton. which lies in an east-west
direction between Wisconsin ave-
nue. and Forest Glen.
Boiled down, the main ques-
ton to be decided through the
suit is whether the belt road
would constitute an "inconsist-
ent use" of the park lands.
Attorneys j. Joseph Barse and
Edward S. Northrup, represent-
ing the plaintiffs, argued in
March that acts of Congress
require the planners to approve
only such development as is
consistent with park purposes.
They contend the belt route is
intended solely as a major high
way and, therefore, would be an
inconsistent use of the parks.
Assistant United States At
torney Oliver Gasch. in moving
for dismissal, said acts of Con-
gress clearly give the planners
control over park development
and contended the belt road
would be a legitimate park use.
Judge McGuire's notation en-
phasi7ed that it would be neces-
sary for the court to go over
plans to reach a final determin-
alton.

The cleft wing" has achieved
a number of significant vic
tories in Washington in the
last two weekS-the most not
able of which has been to bring
influence to bear on President
Eisenhower to use the headline
power Of his press conferences
to carry on an open war with
Senator Mccarthy of Wiscon-
sin, chairman of the Senate
Subcommittee on Permanent
Investigations.
Elated by this victory, the
"left wing" is setting out now
to get the scalpS of Represent
ative Velde, chairman Of the
House Committee on Un-
American Activities, and Sem
ator Jenner, chairman of the
Senate Subcommittee on In
ternal Security. After that will
come broadside attacks on the
FBI in general and j. Edgar
Hoover in particular. Already
articles are appearing in mag
azines Of leftish tendency. writ
ten by well-known anti-Mc-
Carthy agitators. which are
disparaging the work of the
FBI and casting doubt on the
validity Of its system of re-
ports.
The Senate Subcommittee on
Permanent Investigations has.
Of course. been stopped in its
tracks. The Republicans -
Senator Mundt. Senator Dirk
sen and Senator Potter-have
been Stampeded into voting to
suspend all Investigations de-
spite the fact that there still
are 100 Communists in defense
plants which the committee. by
arrangement with companies
doing defense work, has been
wedding out Loncurrently as
the committee exposed them.
What stimulates the left
wingers" to greater effort is
the discovery that the Repub-
licans in Congress can easily be
driven to the defensive and will
not work together in resisting
attack. The behavior Of Eli

ground and the parley becomes
one to settle the East Asian
problems to MoScow's and Pei
pings advantage. The Com
muniSt governments have a
perfect technique for achiev-
ing their objectives, as was
demonstrated in Berlin. They
are expected to insist that the
hot war in Indo-C China be given
priority, since there is no ur-
gency in Korea, where a cease
fire is in force. We and our
Western allies have always
bowed to logic and the Reds do
not lack that reality on the
surface.
Mr.. Dulles hopes to frus-
trate, with the assistance of
the French and British repre-
sentatives, the attempts to
shift the discussions from the
political problems of Korea to
the more complex East Asia
matters. His hopes are based
on the fact that we have
shown recently SO much good
will toward France in helping
her out in the struggle in Indo-
China that it would be rank
disloyalty on their part to side
with the men in the Kremlin.
Our Secretary of State also is
greatly encouraged by the at
titude of the British govern
ment and the recent change
in the British press toward the
United States. While for nearly
two years the London news
papers were almost unanimous
in blasting Americas foreign
and domestic policies, in the
last few weeks the tone has
changed substantially. We are
being praised for our foresight,
selflessness and patience under
severe provocations. This new
tone is attributed to an ''in-
spiration" from the Foreign
Office. The British press is as
free as that Of any democratic
country. but its editorialists
frequently take a hint" from
Evening star., 1954-03-25
Constantine Brown

Secretary Of State Dulles
now has received what is de-
scribed as an official notif1ca-
tion from China that the Pei
ping government expects to
participate at the Geneva con-
ference as one Of the big
Five"
Following the Communist
custom, the notification was
not contained in a diplomatic
communication but in an in
spired editorial in the Tientsin
newspaper Ia Kung Pao. It
said in part that the efforts
of the American Government
to minimize the Importance
of the Geneva conference by
calling it a substitute for the
Korean political conference
are mere pipe dreams. The
conference in the Swiss city
differs from the political con-
ference in that the latter was
intended to discuss only Ko-
rea, with China participating
as a belligerent. The Indo-
China conference, however,
will consider the present shoot
ing war in which China is
not a belligerent but will sit
as a Judge and arbiter with
the other four world powers"
There seems to be no doubt
in the minds of American and
foreign diplomatic observers
that the Geneva parley will
overshadow all domestic and
in e national developments
soon after it starts. Many
friends of the Secretary of
State in the Senate and the
House angered him when they
told him bluntly that he had
fallen into a trap when he ac-
cepted in Berlin the Soviet
proposal to 60 to Geneva to
discuss the Korean political
problem. They warned him,
upon his return, that the Reds
and their fellow travellers in
Asia will see that the Korean
affair is showed in the back
