Presumption in Short Supply
As Paul Butler Meets Press
Democrats New
Chuirmun Grusps
Reins With ! Finger
By Mory McGrory

Paul M. Butler, chairman-elect
Of the Democratic National Com
mittee, comes from South Bend,
Ind. and describes himself as
"a smali-town politician" But
any resemblance between him
and the eagerly friendly extrovert
the term denotes, is purely COIN
cidental.
Meeting the press in Washing
ton for the first time yesterday
in the Office of retiring chairman
Stephen A. Mitchell, Mr.. Butler
seemed instead q very cool GUS
toner. Very cool.
Adlai Stevenson's personal
choice for chief Of staff Of the
Democratic forces looks some
what older than his 40 years.
A slight. gray-haired man with
thinning hair, he has the domed
forehead Of the intellectual, regu-
lar features and dark blue eyes.
For his first official appearance
in the Capital, he wore a single
breasted dark blue suit and an
ultra-conservative black tie.
Presumption in Short Supply.
Apparently. he is as deter
mined as President Eisenhower
to get along with Congress. He
showed the greatest difference
to Democratic congressional
leaders and used the word "pre-
Sllmptuous" at least three times
to emphasize his own inhibitions
about formulating future plans
and policies.
It would be "presumptuous" Of
him to indicate what course the
Democrats should follow in re-
gard to Gen. Eisenhower's for
eign policy.
It would be. 'presumptuous" of
him to believe or to assume that
he had the responsibility or the
right to develop a legislative pro-
gram.
It would be ''presumptuous" of
him to say he had "easy answers"

The Tokyo cabinet crisis was

The crisis in Japan Is more
economic than political. With

desperately a place for cheap

Bruce Simonds has been a
greatly respected musician in
college circles for many years.
He also has decades Of concert
playing behind him. Yet he
brought a youthful quality to
his piano recital last night that
his younger colleagues might
well envy.
Mr.. Simonds, playing at St.
Matthews Parish Hall in Hy-
attsville, displayed the complete
technical mastery for which he
Is well known. He has the abil-
ity to project his performance
beyond the footlights and to
make his enthusiasm and vi
tality felt by every cne.
Two Handel pieces and two
Bach excerpts revealed Mr..
Simonds' attention to details
that escape q less careful pianist.
Every phrase was well calculated
and controlled. But certainly
an entire suite by either of the
masters would have served his
purposes better than the four
unconnected pieces.
In the Beethoven "Appassion-
ata," Mr.. Simonds played with
fine insight into the composers
puposes. He made his points con-
vincingiy sometimes too much
50. Accents were not always re-
lated to the context In which
they appeared. But aside from
this and from q few passages
that lacked rhythmic stability.
the playing had the impulsive
sweep and apparent abandon
that the music requires.
In the second half Of the pro-
gram, q piece by D'Indy called
Iaufenburg" and labelled as q
Swiss waltz. began interestingly
enough, but became somewhat
dreary as it progressed. villa Lo-
hos Alma Brasiliera" is q bit Of
Indian music set between two
bits OF sweet sentiment. Falla's
Andaluza" remains one Of the
finest Of Spanish dances. and
Mr.. Simonds evoked all the
moods and col0rs called for BY
the composer.

Thomos [. Stokes.

You would have thought the
Confederates had fired on Fort
Sumter again to hear the out
cries of Republicans around
here when the new Democratic
National Chairman. Paul M,
Butler, dared to criticize Presi-
dent Eisenhower personally
and directly in his first meet
ing with the press after his
election at New Orleans to sue
ceed Stephen A. Mitchell.
Up to now--and it was true
even during the recent con-
gressional election campaign
most Democrats have carefully
avoided criticism of the Presi-
dent but have tiptoed around
the pedestal as If walking on
eggs. !,
While Paul Butler may have
surprised some Democrats by
popping of his first day out,
so to speak. he Is only fore-
casting the course which DEM
ocratic strategists generally are
agreed must be followed hence
forth. That is, they must hold
the President, himself, respon-
sible for acts and policies of
his administration. instead of
directing their attacks at his
lieutenants.
For in the 1856 presidential
election, it will be Dwight D.
Eisenhower against whom the
Democrats will be, running.
That is true whether he actu-
ally is a candidate himself; for,
if not, it will be his record
which must be the target. No
longer can Democrats gingerly
and politely disassociaSe him
from the record of his admin
istration. They are one and the
same. Furthermore, 1t was
Gen. Eisenhower who beat the
Democrats in 1852, not the
Republican Party which
adopted him and which. two
years later. lost q congress
sional election when he was
not on the ticket. If he runs
again it will be he, not the Re-
publican Party. that must be
defeated. Democrats must pro-
ceed on the theory that he will
be a candidate for a second
term.
Paul Buffers, direct criticism
Of the President and such q
course hereafter by the Demo-
Gratis does not mean at all,
as Republican National Chair
man Leonard w. Hall walled
in q retort to Chairman Butler,
that "the pledge Of Democrat
leaders to cooperate with
President Eisenhower in the
best interests Of, the Nation
has been thrown into the ash
can"
Chairman Hall knows better.

by the Civil Service Commission
in Schedule B.
This means that the Justice
Department can now appoint
the deputies without reference
to Civil Service examinations
or registers so long as the can
didates meet qualification stand
ards set BY the commission.
Earlier BIN Failed.
A bill to accomplish the same
purpose was pending In the re-
cent Congress- introduced by
Senator McCarran, Democrat,
Of Nevada, now deceased. It
failed or passage.
The action by, the commission
was urged by the Justice De-
partment, which has been work
ing on the plans for several
months. After considering the
change for some time the COM
mission issued its new rules De-
cember /.
The Justice Department said
the new setup would enable it
to raise the standards health,
education and prior experience
required Of applicants for the
jobs. The department insisted
that standards in the past were
inadequate.
It said also that each
marshal's Office would have to
maintain a register of applicants
listing them on the basis of
priority Of application, and
whether they are disabled veter-
ans or veterans not disabled.
Senator Johnston, Democrat,
of South CarolinN is expected
to call for a full explanation
from the Civil Service Commits
sion. The Senator is slated to
head the Senate Post ONCE and
Civil Service Commission in the
new Congress.
He was said by an associate
to be planning Investigations Of
some Of the commissions ac-
tions. He was also quoted as
saying that deputy marshals are
generally substantial citizens
who obtained their jobs through
competition and who should be
protected against removal.
The commission said it OPP
posed the McCarran bill, s. a.
1t noted in its report on the
bill that the method Of appoint
ment the bill proposed for
deputy marshals was similar to
the method Of appointment for
Schedule B jobs under Civil
Service Commission rules.
Carried Right to Fire.
The bill went further, however.
It would have given newly ap-
pointed United States marshals
the right to dismiss deputies
within the first go days Of the
marshals' tenure. In effect,
that would, have eliminated the
removal protection of the Vet
erans' Preference Act and the
Lloyd-LaFolette Act.
In contract, the commission
said, all veterans under Schedule
B have the protection Of the re-
moval provisions Of the Veter-
ans Preference sAct and nom
veterans having competitive
status have removal rights SINH
lar to those provide by the
Lloyd-LaFollette Act.
The commission said it found
the existing registers for ap-
pointment Of deputies were OBJ
solete. New examinations would
have to be held and the exam
nations would have to be con-
Quoted in each judicial district.
There are said to be about "a
districts in the United States
and territories.
The commission said it decided
1t was not economical to set new
examinations to establish new
registers.
The action taken by the COM
mission was recommended by the
Justice Department, the COM
mission said.

Religions Role Applied at Clinical Center
By John McKeIwoy


The increasing awareness OF
religions place in the care OF the
sick-particularly the mentally
i'll and the victims of long-term
illness-has been realized and
applied at the Clinical Center at
the National Institutes of Health
in Bethesda.
The pastor, the priest and the
rabbi are taking their places be-
side the scientists. the doctors.
the nurses, as part of the team
investigating disease.
It is hoped, at least in the long
range thinking, of those taking
part in the "shakedoWn cruise"
of the Clinical Center, that more
will be learned of the hospital
chaplain's role in the treatment
of disease and the attitude of the
sick toward the chaplain. In
short, it's another research prof.
ect of the largest research center
in the world.
At present the Clinical Center,
which opened last April, has
three chaplains-Father James
A. Caulfield, pastor of st. Jane
Frances de Chantal Catholic
Church, Bethesda; Rabbi Til
Porath of the Montgomery Coun-
ty Jewish Community, and the
Rev. Daniel E. Weeks of the
w a shington F. e d er alton
of Churches.
In Temporary Service.
Their positions at the Clinical
Center are not permanent. Full
time chaplains are expected to
be selected later. Like others at
the Clinical Center, the three
men are feeling out" the job at
present. For the 500-bed Gin
ical Center, which attempts to
bring the laboratory to the bed
side. is proceeding cautiously.
Nothing quite like it has ever
been tried before.
Population of the Clinical
Center is at present about l41
patients. A breakdown as to
religious Affiliations runs so far
about II per cent Protestant. 20
per cent Catholic and 3 per cent
Jewish.
