u. 5. Pension Denial
To Subyersiyes OK d
BY the Associated Press

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today voted unanimously
to deny Government retirement
pay to any Federal employee or
member Of Congress convicted
of lying about Communist asso-
Citations or engaging in subver-
sive or felonious activities.
It would strip retirement ben
ef1tS from Alger Hiss or others
who, like him, would be entitled
to Government annuities upon
reaching retirement age.
The measure would not apply
to retired Government workers
or Congress members already re-
ceiving retirement benefits.
The measure, which now goes
to the House, is far broader than
original proposals aimed princi-
pally at Hiss, a former State De-
partment official. who was con-
victed Of lying about associations
with a Communist espionage
ring and is now serving peni-
Tertiary term st Lewisburg, Pa.
Hiss would be entitled to a
Government annuity at age 81.
The committee-approve bill
would cancel his right to any
such retirement benefit.

conference, but will instead issue
a unilateral statement of its
own. When United States Under
secretary of State Walter Bedell
Smith announced this policy
last Sunday the Communists
made no objection and it was
assumed that they were willing
to accept it. Revival of the sub
ject by both the Russians and
Chinese at this point is causing
a real worry among the West
ern delegations, although few
feel that the Communists will
use this as a pretext to scuttle
the truce.
Details of agreement reported
by the Communists, are specific

the West Memphis industrial
Council.
Mr.. Bowers also has an answer
for the IVA people who argue
that it would be necessary to
build new levees to protect the
plant if it were set up on the
Mississippi lowlands in Arkansas.
"Not So" he said. in taking a
reporter on a tour of the site,
which is meshed in an elaborate
levee system.
Site Above Record Floods.
The height of the main levee
is sos feet above the present low
level of the river, and 23.5 feet
above the natural banks. The
plant would be put on q level 7.3
feet above the record height the
Mississippi reached in the 1887
and 1947 floods. Parenthetically,
Mr.. Bowers insists that because
of flood control projects further
to the north, this peak can
never again be reached.
In arguing for the construc-
ton of a plant by the iva itself
at Fulton, Tenn, north of Mem
phiS, supporters of the project
which the administration turned
down in favor of West Memphis
have argued that 1t would be
high on the bluffs there where
there never would be a danger
Of flood, and that, further, the
location always would insure
enough water for condensing
purposes.

What the West Memphians
can see in the immediate future
If the proposed SLOT million

expenditure of around $21 mil

would gravitate toward the con-
struction project. The actual
operation Of the plant would
mean additional revenue.
The long-range view is that
by the time the projected Is
year lease is UP, the Atomic
Energy Commission would be
ready to release the plant, and
that its generating capacity
would be available for the
burgeoning-they hope-Arkan-
sas area, instead of being fed
across the river to the iva

It is because they are con-
WINGED that the projected plant
