Re-EmpIoyment Unit
Urged by BroyhiII

Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican, of Virginia said today
he will urge President Eisen-
hover to set up a commission
of Federal personnel officers in
a move to facilitate the sre-em-
ployment of workers losing out
in reductions in force.
At luncheon speech to the
Society of Personnel Admins
tration in the Agriculture De-
partment, Mr.. Broyhill said
this would help thousands.
Unfortunately today, person.
mel officers are concerned only
with their own ticula a r
agency" he said. "Thus when
the agency reduces it's force,
little or no effort is made to
find employment for those
'riffed', in other departments
which are undergoing expan-
sion.
"It is literally true that, often
times. when one agency is cut
ting it's force, another agency
across the street is hiring new
employees. This is a deplorable
situation which should not be
tolerated.
Personnel policy should be
/ based on Government-wise
rather than an agency-wise pro-
gram. Personnel officers should
be informed of all existing va
/. cancies throughout the Federal
service. and every effort should
be made to place 'riffed' en-
ployes in those available jobs
Mr.. Broyhill said he will take
. his proposal to the White House
as soon as Gen. Eisenhower
returns from Denver.

Lamb Leaps 10 Feet
Inlndignation al Quiz,
Lawyer Asks Recess
BY the Asseeiesed Press

Edward Lamb, publisher and
broadcaster, jumped to his feet
In indignation at a Federal Com
municationS Commission hear
ing today and brought the pro-
ceedings to a momentary halt.
The incident occurred when
Walter r. Powell, jr., commits
sion attorney. quoted a man now
in Canada-and therefore un-
available as a witness--as hav-
ing said last June that he imag-
ined Mr.. Lamb must be very
frightened" over Investigations
of communism in this country.
Mr.. Powell said this man had
told another that he once OBJ
tanned a contribution from Mr..
Lamb to the Communist Party.
Mr.. Lamb, whose background
is being explored at the current
hearing in connection with his
request for a license renewal for
his television station at Erie, Pa.
hoped from his chair and strobe
to the table where his lawyers
were seated. One of his after
neys, Russell M. Brown, gently
urged Mr.. Lamb back to his seat
and then asked recess.
McGrath Charges "Smear."
When the hearing before Ex-
aminer Herbert Sharfman re-
sumed, J. Howard McGrath,
executive vice president of Lamb
Enterprises and chief counsel for
Mr.. Lamb, called Mr.. Powell's
remarks a "despicable attempt
to smear" Mr.. Lamb and his
family.
He said he considered Mr.
Lambs indignation fully 'justi-
fed" and urged the examiner to
stop the use of oral offers OF
proof on the part of commission
lawyers. The examiner subse-
quently ordered that such offers
be made so that only counsel and
the examiner could hear them
The statement was made by
Mr.. Powell at a hearing on allie
cations that Mr.. Lamb once asso-
ciated with Communists and
contributed to Communist funds.
Mr.. Lamb has denied the allie
cations.
Mr.. Powell made the state
ment because he was not per-
mitted to let William G.. Cum
mings. 43, of Toledo. Ohio, tes-
tify on the point. Examiner
Sharfman ruled such testimony
out as hearSay.
Mr.. Powell told Mr.. Sharfman
that if Mr.. Cummings had been
permitted to testify he would
have said that a man named
Nat Cohen told Mr.. Cummings
last June that Mr.. Lamb must
be frightened" because Mr.
Cohen had once collected money
from Mr.. Lamb.

that he has no way of bringing
him to the current hearing.
