BY the Assceiafed Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 12.-Gov.
Mcclellan of Maryland today
likened President Eisenhower's
recent pleas for peace to those
made by Abraham Lincoln in his
second inaugural address.
The Governor, who nominated
Mr.. Eisenhower for the Repub-
lican nomination for President
at Chicago in 1852, declared in
a speech prepared for a Lincoln
Day dinner in Brooklyn spon-
sored by the Kings County Re-
publican organization:
mo man is today striving with
more might for the peace that
Justice brings, or with more
realization of the overwhelming
necessity for the achievement Of
this goal, than our President.
Dwight D. Eisenhower.
"By his actions and by his
words he is seeking to do in our
day what Lincoln sought to do
in his just as Lincoln recog-
nized the Importance of spiritual
strength, so has President Eisen-
hover"
Gov. McKeldin compared chal-
lenges to the Nation from the
two Presidents:
Lincoln, second inaugural -
60. To do all which may achieve
and cherish a just and lasting
peace among ourselves and with
all nations"
Mr.. Eisenhower, message to
Congress last MONTH. To
maintain justice and freedom
among ourselves and to cham
pion them for others so that we
may work effectively for endur-
ing peace"
"If Lincoln had faced the
problem Of coexistence with a
world half Of which is dominated
by communism, he would not
have altered one word Of his
carefully studied utterance." >"

Job Deferment List
For Military Draft
Is SIashed in Half

The Labor Department has
prepared a new guide for Selec-
tive Service and the Pentagon
which cuts in half the number
of occupations recommended for
deferments.
The list, which will be used by
local draft boards and by the
armed services in the calling
up reserves, will be made public
in the near future by Secretary
of Labor Mitchell.
30 Occupations Listed.
This was revealed by Leo r.
Werts, one of Mr.. Mitchell's S
maapower aides. He said that
only 80 occupations will be desig-
mated as being in critical short
supply.
: The list to be superseded
which Selective Service is cur
rently using-containS 81 occu-
pations in which a person Of
draft age might obtain defer
ment from military service.
Mr.. WertS, in an interview
yesterday, gave two principal
reasons for the big reduction in
critical occupations:
l. A cutback in demand for
certain military arms and goods
-"the achievement of produc-
ton schedules.
2. An increase in the number
of persons available in some of
the fields formerly listed as cri-
tical.
Major Overhaul.
Mr.. Wertz, while not at Lib
erty to disclose the new list at
this time, said these occupations
were included in it: Aircraft en-
Evening star., 1955-02-13

gineers, science teachers. chem
lists. mathematicians, physicists
and physiologists who hold at
least a masters degree.
This was the first major over
haul of the occupation-defer-
ment list in more than a year
A Labor Department commit
tee keeps the problem under
continuous study. Mr.. Wertz
said. When action is indicated,
representatives from the De-
fense, Agriculture and Com
merce departments, Selective
Service and other agencies are
called in for discussions and
recommendations. When a list
is agreed upon, it is sent to the
Secretary of Labor who may ap-
prove or disapprove.

MoIenkov's Confession

Georgi Malenkov is not the first Russian
to plead error and confess his sins. But
1t is doubtful that any other head OF state
has delivered a swan song as abject as
Malenkov's farewell message to the joint
session of the Supreme Soviet.
The ousted Premier's request" to be
relieved of his post was predicated on in
sufficient experience in local work" He
also felt bound to say" that he saw with
particular clarity his own guilt and
responsibility" for the sagging status OF
Russian agriculture.
This is interesting. And 1t may be
significant in view of the fact that Nikita
Khrushchev presumably has been in charge
of the Russian agricultural program. Ac-
cording to Tom Whitney, Associated Press
correspondent in Moscow for many years,
there have been three major crises In
Khrushchev'S career. One concerned his
failure in the Ukraine and another his clash
with the purged Lavrenti Beria The other
came in 1851. He overreached himself then
In an attempt to tighten central control
over Russia's collective farms, including
complete resettlement of Soviet farmers.
This was highly unpopular and Khrushchev
was compelled to admit his errors. But ne
survived, presumably because OF Stains
support. AS recently as last week, he made
a speech in Moscow which indicated that he,
and he alone, was calling the tune in the
Russian farm program
Why, then, has Malenkov heaped the
ashes of farm failure on his own head?
Malenkov took over as Premier in 1858,
having been nominated by Beria In August
of that year he made speech, plugging for
a sharp increase in production Of consumer
goods and criticizing the lag in farm output.
This was interpreted as rebuke to Khrush-
chev. But at approximately the same time,
he was throwing his support to Khrush-
chev In the latter's crucial struggle for
power with Beria. Now. little more than
year later, Khrushchev delivers the nomi-
mating speech for Bulganin as Premier, while
Malenkov makes his inglorious departure,
taking upon himself full responsibility for
"errors" which in part, at least, certainly
were Khrushchev's
One can only speculate on the signifi-
canoe of this in the jungle of Kremlin poll
tics. But it suggests that the end has not
been reached, that Bulganins days are
numbered, and that Malenkov, possibly in
exchange for his life, is taking the rap
for Khrushchev. Why? Perhaps so that
Khrushchev will not be identified by the
Russian people with the agricultural fail

Too Many Organizations?

Washington primarily is composed
lof the same kind of Americans found
In average cities of the United States.
It was not intended by our founding
fathers to be, and in fact 1t Is not,
an international melting pot for po-
litical theories of all kinds, place
for all crusades to start. or a shining
example to be held UP to the world
(other countries dislike that idea very
much, but that doesn't seem to dis
courage its protagonistS) So the ac-
tivities of a great many well-meaning
people are directed to the accomplish
ment of objectives, through organiza-
tions, in such way as to draw sympa-
thy away from them, instead of toward
their goal in particular instance.
In discussion of the Home Rule bill
February 3 about nine organizations
took part. They were mainly partisan
political groups, the colored citizens
groups, and certain Jewish organiza-
tions. Each no doubt hoped to derive
some benefit for its group by enact
ment Of home rule. but their repre-
sentationS would be looked upon with
askance by the average citizen here
who wants something more convincing
on the way home rule would work If
granted.

but primarily devoted to stirring up
agitation. sometimes for gain, some
times merely for the sake of creating
antagonlsm. They, of course. have the
right to exist, but people of the rank
and file, like myself, certainly should
be very careful to evaluate what they
say. It is especially important for
members of Congress to pay attention
to this.
I noted that In a recent point at
issue involving boys club, some 80
organizations, mainly church groups,
were concerned. Organizations of this
kind, once having expressed a public
opinion on subject, are then impelled
to follow it through in all phases. 1t
Is unfortunate that in this case they
constitute a powerful lobby working to
prevent group of people from secur-
ing D. G. funds to operate boys club.

church groups in this matter because
they are the only ones in the group Of
80 with which sympathize. The others
either have axes to grind. or are using
q prerogative often used by political
groups. that of sticking their noses into
other peoples business. al
My interest in all Of this is simply
this: We have too many organizations
for the benefit of this or that cause
which are frequently calling for pub
lie sympathy. What to do about it I
don't know. But what I would like
people to know, especially in the States,
is that they do not represent the think
ing of Washington as a whole.

A AFotoI Omission

The so-called "home rule" bill now
pending in the Senate District Committee
omits any mention of the National Govern
ment's continuing responsibility to share
in the expense of its National Capital.
During recent hearings on the measure the
Commissioners very properly called atten-
ton to the omission and asked that 1t be
remedied. They were supported by Sturgis
Warner, representing the Washington Home
Rule Committee. who proposed specific
amendment.
Chairman Nicely impatiently gaveled
Mr.. Warner down, because Mr.. Warner was
sensible enough not to hazard guess as
to how much the Federal Government
should appropriate. That, of course, would
be subject to the need, and the division OF
responsibility between the local and Ma
tional governments.
The Star does not share with advocates
of home rule the hope of the benefits that
would accrue from passage OF the pending
bill. The bills failure to include even
declaration of policy in respect to the Ma
tional Governments financial obligation to
Washington, however, should be enough to
make 1t generally unacceptable.
Three years ago comparable bill was
presented to the Senate containing for
mula measuring the size of the Federal pay
ment by the amount of local tax revenue.
It would have meant lump sum OF about
$25 million that year. It was stricken in the
Senate on motion Of Senator Saltonstal1, q
friend of the bill, and the bill was passed.
The Senator said the financial formula was
hypocritical, for Congress would not live up
to 1t.
It is true that the same thing might
happen If a fscal-relations formula were
carried in the pending bill. But without
at least strong statement of policy In this
important respect, enactment Of a home rule
bill would present more serious threat to
Washington, and anyone who does not
realize it now would be due for rude
awakening.
