thus saved for the benefit Of
underdeveloped nations"
No Real Success
Mr.. Adenauer repeatedly spoke
of controlled disarmament. and
he emphasized that conferences
on the subject "have up to now
achieved no real success"
In the past the United States
and its allies have insisted that
any disarmament plan must be
accompanied by an effective sys-
tenn for inspection in States
agreeing to it. The Soviets long
SHE'D away from such inspection.
However, last month the Soviet
Union proposed a new plan pro-
yiding for a control organ with
some inspection rights. Western
reaction was that this proposal
represented a concession by Rus
sia, but that it still left much
area for disagreement.

Veteran Loses
Disability Plea

Provisions of the Veterans
Preference Act do not apply in
cases of Federal employees who
Iare involuntarily retired for
medical disability, Federal Judge
Matthew F. MCGUIRE ruled today.
The case concerned John j.
Murphy, a World War II veteran.
involuntarily retired from his
timekeeper job at an Army base.
Mr.. Murphy was retired after
medical examination but the
specific findings were not re-
vealed to him nor was he given
a hearing.
His attorney, Claude L. Daw-
son, challenged the action on
two counts: Cd the Veterans
Preference Act requires notice
and hearing; (2) the specific
medical findings should be re-
vealed and a hearing granted.
But Judge MCGUIRE, in the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia, dismissed the
complaint and stated that the
act, while applying to discharge.
suspension and similar actions,
did not apply to involuntary
medical retirement.
The jurist also referred, with
out elaboration, to similar case
decided in favor of the Govern
ment in which revelation Of
medical findings was an issue.
In the current case. the Govern
ment was represented by Assis-
tant United States Attorney
Frank H. Strickler.

said last night the Republicans
were attempting to establish a

is fundamentally at variance

He called it can attempt to

added the concept seeks to pur-
chase immunity for the Presi-

Speaking at a JefferSon-Jack-

"The Republican Party is at
tempting to place President
Eisenhower upon the same ped

The President of the United

under the Constitution is a
higher duty than merely to be a
popular symbol while his min

There is no place in Amer

can do no wrong and that all
are therefore the mis-
takes of lesser people. The hon.
