Whether this win satisfy the
administration has not been de-
termined.
The administration and the
House leadership have insisted
that a postal rate increase and
salary Redistribution authority
must accompany a postal pay
raise, if salary legislation is to
be approved this year.
There seems little orlno chance
for a postal rate increase this
year. But pay bill sponsors
hope the compromise 5 per cent

Chairman Rees of the House
Civil Service Committee will
cause the Republican leadership
to agree to Federal pay legisla-

Senate Civil Service Committee
says he expects the Senate to
take up classified and pay raise
legislation next week. The COM
mittee-approved bill provides
approximately 5 per cent pay

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-SenatoT

Senator Mccarthy claimed
they are not classified as miss
ing in action" and said it is
known they are in Communist
hands," He added that they in
clude 80 military pilots whom
the Communists have admitted
holding.
"We're Losing" He Says.
In an off-the-cuff talk at the
Legion's State convention, Sem

Communist-control1ed people

since World War II from 100
million in Soviet Russia to 800

said, "these have been increased
by II million over in 1ndo-

"We're losing this war. We
must face these hard facts, no
matter how unpleasant" he said.
When Senator Mccarthy cried,
"I've been trying to do something
about it," the Legionnaires ap-
plauded thunderously.
Says He's Meek Man.
Then, in a change of pace,
Senator Mccarthy made a jocu-
lar reference to the Senate race
in Illinois between the Republic

He jested:
Some people say that Nc
Carthy is too rough. but I want

number of overlapping charges.
Senator Watkins said his COM

tute sufficient reasons for CEN
sure action. The committee will

Of Vermont, who introduced the
censure resolution. made SO
charges against Senator Nc
earthly. Senator Fulbright, Dem

again he wished early action. IT
would not like the hearing to

He said that many of the
charges made against him "have
aleady fallen by the wayside."
Senator Mccarthy listed
among the fallen" charges one
made by Senator Fulbright, Dem
ocrat, Of Arkansas-that the Wis
consin Republican had strongly
implied" Annie Lee Moss, a
Pentagon employee, was a Com

Small Business Aide Calls
For Enterprise in Youth
By The Associofed Press

BAY VIEW, Mich, Aug. T.
Robert II. Montgomery, deputy
administrator of the Small Bust
ness Administration, maintains
today's young people are too
concerned with security and not
enough with enterprise.
And this pre-occupation with
security is really shaping up as
one of the vital problems in the
fight for the preservation of the
American way of life and our
competitive, profit-and-loss sys-
tenn" he said yesterday.
Mr.. Montgomery addressed the
summer conference of the Bay
View Association in the North
western Michigan resort area.
1.-THE men who have really
done things" he added, were
not primarily concerned with
retirement systems, vacations
and sick leave benefits. They
were motivated by the challenge
of the job and the adventure

Army's Diffusion
Clouds Inquiry on
Peress, Mundt Says
By John A. Giles

Senator Mundt charged today
that the Army had made it al
most impossible to pin respon-
sibility for granting an honor
able discharge to former Maj.
Irving PereSs after he declined
to answer questions as whether
he had ever had subversive con-
nection.
The South Dakota Republican,
who presided over the televised
investigation of the Army-Mc-
Carthy feud which erupted as a
result of the Peress case, said
the service was scattering the
blame by submitting a list of 30
names Of officers who played an
active" role in the case.
II think they are establishing
a new pattern or formula-in-
nocence by diffusion" he COM
mented.
He said If the Army had sent
a list of two or three names, the
Senate Investigations Subcom-
mittee could pin the responsible
ity quickly. But the long list
makes certain that any investi-
cation Of the matter would be
a long, slow procedure that
could not be completed during
this session of Congress, he
added. s4a
Five Of those on the list are
generals, one Of them with four
stars. 52N- 95.5- 'E>iS
Chairman Mccarthy, Repub-
lican, of Wisconsin, refused to
release the list "at this time"
However, it was learned that
the four-star officer was Gen.
Charles L. Bolte, Vice Chief of
Staff.
Senator Mccarthy indicated
he intended to call at least some
Of the officers before the sub
committee.
II am perfectly willing to
question any or all of them, !"
said Senator Mcclellan of Ar
kansas, ranking Democrat on the
group.
DR.. Peress is the New York
dentist whose career as a Army
reservist came under investiga-
ton by the Mccarthy subcom-
mittee last year. When he re-
fused to answer questions on
constitutional grounds, the Sen
ator called him Fifth Amend
ment Communist" Two days
later he was given an honorable
discharge.

Supreme Court 10 Get
Peters Loyalty Test,
Recalling BaiIeyC Case

Another test Of the Govern
ment's loyalty program parallel
ing the noted Dorothy Bailey
case will be taken to the Supreme
Court, it was revealed yesterday
in the U. s. Court of Appeals for
the District Of Columbia.
The current case involves cir
cumstances similar to those of
the Bailey case, according to the
law firm Of Arnold, Fortas &
Porter In the Bailey case the
Supreme Court, by a 4-to-4 vote,
affirmed the dismissal of Miss
Bailey from a Government job
on loyalty grounds. A loyalty
review board acted on the basis
of confidential information it re-
ceived which was derogatory to
the employee.
Associate Justice Tom Clark
disqualified himself, his action
accounting for the tie vote.
Full Bench Could Hear.
The new case. if accepted by
the court, probably would be
heard by the full bench. Since
the Bailey decision, Chief JUS
tice Vinson has died and has
been replaced by Chief Justice
Warren. making possible new
viewpoint.
The case at issue concerns
DR.. John p. Peters, a profess
sor of medicine at Yale Univer-
sity. who was dismissed in 1941
from his Federal position as con-
sultant to the Surgeon General
The action came after a Civil
Service Commission loyalty re-
view board found reasonable
doubt as to his loyalty. Attorneys
for DIR. Peters declared that, as
in the Bailey affair, no evidence
was presented to DIR. Peters.
The board acted solely on in
formation received from sources
it did not identify.
No Argument in Appeals Court
DR.. Peters brought suit in the
u. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia to be reinstated
in his position, declaring his
constitutional rights had been
violated. The court dismissed his
complaint on the grounds it was
bound by the Supreme Court
ruling in the Bailey case.
The case was appealed to the
appellate court here. To expedite
the case to the Supreme Court
the appellate court was asked by
DR.. Peters attorneys to rule with
out hearing arguments. Yester-
day the appellate court granted
that request and upheld the
lower courts ruling in favor OF
the Government. -..

Police Seek Boy, 4,
Apparently Abducted
By Automobile Thief
BY the Associated Press

BETHLEHEM, Pa, Aug. T.
Their hopes Pickering after SO
hours of helpless waiting, Albert
Parker and his wife kept watch
at their modest home today
praying for word that their only
child is safe.
The child. 4-year-old Bruce,
blond and blue-eyed, vanished
late yesterday. apparently alb
Quoted by an auto thief who did
not know the child was in the
back seat of a parked car as he
took it from a supermarket
parking lot.
Police Of Is Eastern States
have been asked to join in the
search.

IT am sitting in hope and
praying to God that whoever has
Bruce Parker, wherever they had
him, that they would not do any
harm to him but that they
would return him home to me-"
the 35-year-old mother said last
night in a fearful radio broad
cast.
Turn him over to the police
or return him home" she urged.
Despite an intensive search,
on foot. by car and plane, no
trace of the Parker's car. owned
by Mr.. Parker's sister, Mrs. Mar
garet Haas, has been found. And
there has been no report of the
child since Mrs. Parker and her
sister-in-law left him in the car
while they went shopping. They
returned Is minutes later to find
the car gone, another in its
place.
The ignition keys, too, were
left in the car and police say
all the circumstances point to
the probability that a thief sped
away with the auto and the
sleeping youngster.
Eighteen miles away, across the
Delaware River at Easton, is the
New Jersey State line and police
say there is distinct possibility
the thief headed for New York.
On that basis the FBI has been

the case a spokesman said, but
pending affirmative indication
the abductor did cross the State
line.
No Likelihood of Ransom.
There is no likelihood of a ram

helper at q factory in nearby
Hellertown. The family lives in
an unpretentious residential area.
In Allentown, the Call Chron-
icle newspapers last night offered
