Primitive Artist
Brings Jungle
Touch to Work
By the Associoted Pros,

BALTIMORE, Jan. A
young artist who has learned to
apply fiingerpaint with her feet
has reached the ultimate in
primitive style around Baltimore
art circles.
The artist, a 2-year-old chin
panzee, applies the paint with
finger. foot or elbow. and when
inspiration fees, consoles herself
by eating the paint.
Such monkey business as
roller skating was shelved after
Baltimore Zoo Director Arthur
Watson noticed the unusual
delicacy Of action his pet en-
ployed in dressing herself and
eating.
He introduced her to finger
painting, fsvorite past-time OF

couragement the chimp took to

Upho|ding Of Taft Act
By nam Indicates
Hot Fight in Congress

A National Association of
Manufacturers demand that the
Taft-Hartley Act be greatly
frightened or at least left alone
threatened today to cause an all
out fight on any administration
moves to change some provisions
Objectionable to labor.
The NAM contended in a
statement last night that the
present law comes close" to
meeting the country's needs. The
association statement declared
that industry, business and an
overwhelming majority of the
public want the law either
strengened or left unchanged"
Seek Teeth in Law.
If any changes are to be made.
the NAM said. they should
strengthen" the Labor Relations
Act. The NAM suggested that
more teeth could be put into the
law If Congress provided sug-
gested amendments that would i:
Give stronger freedom of
speech guarantees to employers,
ban strikes aimed at forcing
union recognition. improve the
definition of union responsibility
for the actions of union mem
bers. strengthen provisions
against featherbedding, abolish
all forms of the union shop, pro-
tect the right Of workers to hold
jobs without having to belong to
unions. stiffen the ban on sec
ondary boycotts and take more
effective steps against Com
munist activity In unions.
President Plans Message.
President Eisenhower plans to
send a special message to Con-
gress within the next two weeks,
containing his recommendations
for changes in the Taft-Hartley
Act He has told labor organi-
cations that his proposals would
make the law absolutely fair"
to employees. employers and the
public. Secretary of Labor
Mitchell also has pledged that
the administration program will
try to remove provisions that
are really dangerous to labor,
really loaded and really unfair" 1"
The NAM stand was regarded
as serving notice that the ad-
ministration and Congress would
have a major battle If Repub-
licanS attempted to soften the
Taft-Hartley Act. The associa-
ton said the law has worked
out fairly well and that any
changes should adhere to the
American ideals of individual
freedom, of fair play and simple
justice"

tirement benefits than do Fed
eral employees" he said.
when you add together the
private pension benefits, plus So
cial security. you can readily see
that private industry workers are
better off today.
Certainly, there would be no
complaints on that score from
them If Federal employees are
covered jointly by civil service
and social security.
Under the proposed plan. the
civil service retirement system
would remain completely inde-
pendent, the same as it is today.
The social security coverage
would apply only to survivorship
insurance benefits, and to the
short-term employe whose re-
tirement rights are more liberal
under that system than under
civil service"
Mr.. Kaplan added: Govern
ment civil service workers pay
more for their benefits than any
other group of employees in the
country. Therefore. they are
entitled to the same sort of sur
vivorship insurance protection
for their families as are the rest
Of the American workers.
This can be achieved by joint
coverage. with no threat to the
civil service retirement system.
PUBLIC HEALTH - A new
division of personnel headed by
Paul M. Camp has been estab-
lished at the Public Health Serv-
ice. Mr.. Camp has been per-
sonnel administration advisor to
the Surgeon General since June,
1852. The new division was
created by consolidating the two
former units-the division of
commissioned officers and the
division Of personnel.
The new unit will direct the
personnel activities of both the
commissioned corps Of the Pub
lie Health Service and the civil
service employees there.

Window Broken al {. Of {.
By Anqry U. s. Worker

The United States Chamber of
Commerce Building had a win
dow broken yesterday because it
was mistaken for a Government
Office.
Police said a 36-year-old man
hurled a brick through the glass.
The man was quoted as saying
he was protesting the use of die
taphones in his room by the
Federal Government to investi-
gate his mental status. He said
he thought the building at 1915
H street NV. was a Government
structure.
Trailed to a rooming house in
the 1900 block of Massachusetts
avenue NV by a passerby, the
man was picked up by police and
taken to District General Hos
pltal for mental observation.

employees maximum retirement
and survivorship insurance bene-
fits through joint civil service
and social security coverage.
Employees would still contribute
six per cent of their salaries for
improved benefits. Under the
pending proposal, three per cent
would go to civil service retire.
ment and three per cent to So
cial security.
Mr.. Kaplin said that the in
creased costs of the benefits
would not amount to much as far
as the Government is concerned.
He said details are being worked
out in the way of administrative
savings that would absorb much
Of the cost involved.
The Governments indefinite
workers. now covered under So
cial security. would be brought
under civil service retirement as
well once they complete five or
six years Of Government service.
The exact amount of service has
not been decided.
FEARS DISCOUNTED-Mr.
Kaplan said the beauty of his
proposal is that Government
workers would retain and i'm
prove their generally higher an
nuity benefits (as compared to
social security. and at the same
time secure the maximum pro-
visions of social security surviv-
orship insurance family benefit
provisions.
The New Yorker said he hoped
to convince the Government en-
ploye groups that their fears
that civil service would be swal-
lowed up by social security are
groundless.
The employe organizations
contend that joint coverage
would eventually result in the
abolishment of the civil service
retirement system. They say
that complaints from workers in
private industry that Govern
ment workers were drawing max
imum benefits from both systems
would lead Congress to eliminate
civil service retirement and place
Federal workers solely under So
cial security.
Mr.. Kaplan says this argument
may have been true Is years ago,
but that it has no validity today.
Most private firms have their
own pension systems for en-
ployes. with the result that pri-
vate industry workers for the
most part get more generous re-

Brownell called attention to the

Court Test Of Validity
OF Firing Planned
By 0usted Official

Myron Wiener. ousted from
the War Claims Commission
said today that unless he hears
Immediately from Attorney Gen.
eral Brownell he will make q
court move seldom used in the
District to test the Presidents
power to remove and appoint
public officials.
He declared through his -attor-
ney. I. H. Wachtel. that Mr.
Brownell and United States At
torney Leo A. Rover have not
answered letters last month re-
questing them to bring a test
case here in the name Of the
United States. He contends that
the President lacked authority to
fire him and Mrs. Georgia l.
Lusk and appoint three new
members to the commission.
Mr.. Watched quoted Mr.
Wiener as saying he "can only
attribute the failure of the At
torney General and the United
States Attorney to respond as
fear and reluctance on their
part to have the courts pass
upon validity of the President &
action"
Refund Request.
PRESIDE lent Eisenhower last
September asked Mr.. Wiener,
Mrs. Lusk and the late Daniel
Cleary to resign. They refused
to do so, claiming they were en-
titled to hold their $14,000-a-
year jobs until the statutory ex-
piration of the commission in
March, 1855. Mr.. Cleary died
early in December. Gen. Eisen-
hover on December 10 dis
charged the other two members
and appointed three new mem
bers, all Republicans.
Mr.. Brownell informed the
President that he had legal au-
thority to remove the former
members and appoint new ones.
Receiving no reply from Mr..
Brownell and Mr.. Rover to the
request for a test case in the
United States District Court fol-
the District of Columbia, Mr.
Wiener and Mr.. Wachtel made
public the letters of December
18 and 81. Under a procedure
that has been used here only
once in the last 40 years. Mr.
Watched explained, his client
plans to institute court proceed
ings Immediately unless he hears
from the Government officials

person claiming the right to pub

Attorney General or the United
States Attorney to bring the pro-
ceeding in the name Of the

Attorney General or the United
States Attorney bring such pro-
ceedingS, the person claiming

torneys apply to bring such pro-
ceeding in the District Court"
