has ruled that an agency head

to suspend them under Execu-
tive Order 10450.
Employees not affected are
those in whose files there is in
formation of a Subversive nature.
However. the great bulk-about
rs per cent-of the individuals
dropped so far from the Govern
ment payroll as security risks
were not listed in the "subver-
sive" category. Many resigned
before their cases were processed,
Ruling Explained.
The ruling, which was drawn
up as q suggested regulation for
the various agencies by Jus
tice's Internal Security Division,
headed BY William r. Tompkins.
means that a department head
may keep an individual on the
payroll while the investigation
is completed and he decides
whether the person is a secu-
rity risk.
In the past. a department
head suspended an employe in
sensitive position as soon as
the derogatory information was
uncovered. He then had 80 days
in which to present the accused
with charges. (This 30-day
period still applies once a per-
son is suspended.
The administrator may now
act with less haste and go into
the case thoroughly before max
ing his decision. Meanwhile.
the employe Is not deprived of
his livelihood. Then If the de-
partment head decides against
suspension the person may be
restored to his regular position
If the verdict is suspension, the
national interest Is still being
protected with the person in a
non-senSitive job.

honorable discharge Of Mai.
Irving Peress.
1t. Gen. Walter L. Weible, a
deputy chief Of staff, and Army
Counselor John @. Adams APP
proved the discharge because a
review indicated '.there existed
no basis for reconsideration" Of
a previous decision to take such
a course.

Tended the actions OF Brig. Gen.

Gen. Zwicker had urged on sew
eral occasions that DR.. Peress
be discharged because his re-

It was Gen. Zwicker's reticence

After learning Of the new
Pentagon statement, Senator
Mccarthy announced he would

Peress case, which President
Eisenhower has admitted was
mishandled. At the time Gen.
Weible and Mr.. Adams made
their decision, they had a letter

Republicans Appear
Sold on Late August
Convention Dale
Democratic Plan Hailed
As Party Unit confers
On Sc Meeting Site
Nv Gould I;neoIn
By Gould Lincoln

Republicans today appeared
ready to go along with Demo-
cratic National Chairman Paul
NJ. Butler in his proposal to
shorten the national campaigns
by holding the party conventions
to nominate presidential candi-
dates late in August.
Mr.. Butler last night an
nounced the Democrats were
selecting August 81 as the date
for their 1856 national conven-
ton.
A subcommittee of the Re-
publican National Committee
met at 10 am. in the May
flower Hotel to receive bids for
their 1856 national convention
from Philadelphia, Chicago and
Atlantic City.
Before meeting to hear the
representatives of these cities,
several Republicans expressed
satisfaction with the later dates
proposed for the national con-
ventions. They looked on the
proposal as both time-saving
and money-saving.
Dirksen Likes Idea.
Senator Disksen, of Illinois,
expressing his approval, said
that it would be possible to GO
Immediately from the national
conventions into the presiden-
tial campaign and keep the cam
paign rolling at a high speed
until election day.
Senator Douglas, Democrat,
of Illinois. who appeared as a
member of the Chicago dele
CATION asking for the national
convention, pointed out that, il
the August 81 date is finally fixed
for the Democratic convention,
it will be necessary to have all
the financing for the campaign
arranged before the national
convention and even to have
the speakers lined up. He said
too, 1t would be necessary to
keep the party's national or
ganization without change.
In some quarters it was sug-
gested the Republicans might Sc
lect a date even later than that
picked by Chairman Butler for
the Democratic convention For
many years, the Democrats have
nominated their candidates and
written their platforms after the
Republicans, If the Republicans
renominate President Eisen-
hover, they figure they could
wait until as late as the middle
of September.
Chicago Offers $25O,0OO.
The delegation from Chicago
is offering $250.000 to Republi-
cans and the same amount to
the Democrats for their 1856
national conventions. This
matches the bid made by Phila-
delphia. The Chicago delega-
tion met early and informally
with Chairman Butler and told
him their proposal. The Demo
Gratis are to hold a meeting jan

Army officers who picked him
up at Soviet headquarters in

the former soldier asked for a
cigarette. He told them it was
his first one in six years. Then
he said nothing more.
Private May Face Trial.
Army officers said Pvt. Mar

tion Of making a hero out of a
deserter."
Both men were especially OUT

dium quality wooden suits and
overcoats with gray hats and
