Army report on the case and as
testified to during the hearings
last year. Failures to notify
Isuperiors Of DR.. Peress being a
security risk were listed.
The report noted the Army
had taken corrective actions
applicable to 10 Of the 48 errors.
1t then recommended the Army
establish procedures within its
Personnel Board (which viii not
only insure that each member
thereof approve the boards rec
concentrations as prepared by
the recorder, but also that the
G-1 (personnef division) inter-
probation Of the boards recon-
mendation is in consonance with
the intent of the individual
members"
It called on the Army to give
the board sufficient personnel to
carefully go over all security risk
cases: to assign qualified officers
to personnel boards; make a
study of its inspector generals
operations and make 1t more
efficient.
Also to staff intelligence Offices
with personnel qualified for In
telligence work from the stand
point of both training and ex-
Iperience":: to make certain that
intelligence reports on security
cases do not get lost in red tape:
make intelligence officer famil-
iarize themselves with all forms
relating to security.
The report also demanded the
Army make certain that intelli-
gence officers Immediately in
form commanding officers of
security cases under them so
that such reports do not get
lost as in the Peress case and
that active investigations be
initiated of all remaining per-
sonnel who might be security
risks.
In his minority report, Sena-
tor Bender eontended a cam

against the Army and had
promoted the Communist
cause"
II think it is of paramount
importance" he said, that this
subcommittee should assure
the people Of this country that
mo Communist influence was
found in the Army"
He also took exception to the
contention that Mr.. Stevens
and his superiors performed a
|disservice by not revealing the
|Peress facts earlier. AS early as

crack at the company on the
floor yesterday while introducing
a bill to regulate dividends of
Capital Transit and other util-
tiles.
The Senator said he was aware
the bill would do nothing to get
wheels turning in the strike, but
was thinking of the future.
Reserves Take Priority
The new Morse measure pro-
vides no utility can declare or
pay dividends on its stock unless
Cd its earnings and earned sur
plus are sufficient to declare and
pay after provision is made for
reasonable and proper reserves,
(2) the dividend on common
stock can reasonably be declared
and paid without impairment of
the ability of the public utility
to perform its duty to render
reasonable and adequate service
at reasonable rates.
The bill is the same passed
ry the Senate in 1853 at a time
when Capital Transit was under
fire for liberal dividend policies
while fares were going up. The
bill, modelled after an Illinois
statute, died in the House Dis
trict committee.
Senator Morse renewed his
attack on Mr.. Wolfson and Mr..
Broadwater for refusing to sub
init the dispute to arbitration.
He denounced the company
for refusing to use reserves or
undistributed profits to end the
strike and for demanding "a
bag of money" in the form of
an increase in fares before the
company would offer a wage in
crease.
Senator Bender, Republican of
Ohio, broke in to deplore "a lot
|of huffing and putting" about
the strike. but. no action.
II think the conversation
should be stopped and the matter
taken into court" Senator
Bender shouted. Il think there
should be less name-calling and
less talking"
Senator Morse said he was
sorry my friend from Ohio has
displayed such a lack of informa- =
ton and gross ignorance in re-
gard to what the District CT
Columbia has been doing"

Iernment out of businesses which
could be handled by private
enterprise.
"The Congress has the power
and the right to grant or to
deny an appropriation" Mr.. Eli
senhower commented in saying
the rider violated the Constitu-
Itional separation of powers. "But
once an appropriation is made
the appropriation must, under
the Constitution, be admins
tered by the Executive Branch
OF the Government alone, and
the Congress has no right to
confer upon its committees the
power to veto executive action
lor to prevent executive action
to become effective"
Mr.. Eisenhower urged Con-
gress to repeal another provi-
son of the money bill which he
described as most unfortunate.s 2
Sees Deadly Attrition
This. he said, virtually pre-
cludes the armed services from
considering purchase Of certain
foreign-made silk yarn used for
cartridge cloth. He said such
provisions could effect a deadly
attrition Of our whole inter-
national trade policy and bring
about impairment of our rela-
tions with other nations"
White House officials said 1t
was the first time Mr.. Eisen-
hover had ever sent such a
message to Congress.
Senator Mundt. Republican, of
South Dakota. praised the Presi-
dents message.
"As one member of Congress
who is against such socialistic
enterprises, I am glad the Presi-
dent is taking a firm stand"
Mr.. Skies, on the other hand,
said that never before have
heard of such disregard of the
Congress or the Constitution by
the Chief Executive"
AS for the provision itself. Mr..
Skies said he sees nothing wrong
with it.
"If there is a good reason
for the Defense Department to
abandon some of its business ac-
Itivities, what is wrong with them

fore a committee Of Congress-"

/ Opposed to Seizure
Sentiment at the Board oi
Trade meeting was largely
against seizure. Opponents
feared the drastic action might
end in Government ownership
of the company. Many legaI
questions, perhaps involving long
court battles, also were seen al
a possible upshot of seizure.
The franchise revocation idea
advanced in the bill of Senator
Morse, received somewhat more
favor.

Army 10 Call 10000
In May Despite Talk
OF Draft Cuibacks

The Defense Department an
nounced today that 10. 900 youths
would be drafted in May. The
figure compares with 5000
draftees in April.
All the inductees will be taken
into the Army, which had ID
million officers and men on
February %, or some 100000
more than President Eisen-
hower's program requires that it
have at the end of the fiscal
year, June 80.
Army officials earlier this
month expressed the belief that
it would be necessary to cut the
draft calls below the April quota
because of a high re-enlistment
rate. They said they were con-
sidering calling 5000 or 1000 to
bring the ground forces within
budgetary limits within the next
three months.
But the Defense Department
which has final approval of the
calls said today "the number of
men requested is based on attain
ment of approved strength after
allowances have been made for
enlistments and re-enlistments."
The Navy, Air Force and
Marine Corps have not been
drafting anyone.
