to his handling Of the Scher Sc
curity check, Judge Harrison
asked Mr.. Young and Justice
Department Attorney Donald
acGuineas to submit written
briefs within is days.
Scher Testifies
Taking the stand. Mr.. Scher
related the following sequence of
events:
A Government employe since
1948. he had undergone two 10y
atty checks in 1914 and 1948 and
had been cleared.
In November. 1850. he checked
his civil service status and to his
surprise found he was being
carried as a permanent GS-5.
although he was receiving a
GS-9. He was an analytical
chemist in the Office Of Techni-
cal Services. a non-sensitive
position.
He said he asked the head Of
his section, John Green, the rea-
son. He was told it was felt by
the security officer that he was
not Ybelieved" to be a good
security risk"
With Mr.. Green, he said, he
went to Col. Smiths Office and
demanded a public security hear
ing to clarity the issue.
The security officer. he testi-
fed, lost his temper and began
shouting. He eventually calmed
down and outlined for Mr.. Scher
the various steps that would
have to be taken before an en-
ploye could be fired as a bad
risk.
Mr.. Scher made a direct re-
quest for a hearing and asserted.
he made four other attempts to
get a hearing or to find out what
charges were against him. to no
avail Meanwhile. he continued
working.
His last act, he said. was to
request an evaluation of his job.
This was done late in January
or early in February, 1858. Miss
Alma Brenner, a Commerce per-
sonnel evaluator, testified.

Trying 10 Halt
Red Inquiry

NEWARK, N. j., May II (R.-
Members of a House Un-Ameri-
can Activities subcommittee
who were picketed by 1000 noisy
demonstrators-moved ahead to-
day in their investigation of al
legged Communist inroads in the
Newark area.
The pickets. most of whom po-
lice said were members of the
United Electrical Workers tUEj
from New York. paraded for
three hours last night in front
Of the hotel where the probers
are staying.
The mass demonstration. dur
ing which there were no erup-
tions of violence, followed the
first day of hearings by the two
member subcommittee.
At the actual session, one wit
ness invoked the Fifth Amend
ment while two others testified
that Communists tried to recruit
members in the electrical indus
try and sought control in the UE
in this area.
Representative Scherer, Re-
publican, of Ohio who is sitting
with Representative Doyle, Dem
ocrat, of California for the four
day hearing. said the demonstra-
ton was the worst of my three
years on the Un-American Activ-
tiles Committee.
The UE was ousted from the
CIO five years ago because Of
alleged Communist control. Mr..
Scherer said last night the
picketing "is conclusive proof
that the UE is Communist-domi-
mated and is prime evidence why
the union was expelled from the
CIO."
Police said the largest group
of pickets was transported to
Newark in IA buses from Local
ATS of the UE in Brooklyn.
The witness at the probe who
refused to answer questions on
constitutional ground was
Charles Nusser of Newark.
Mr.. Pollock said Communists
controlled the District Council
and the locals Executive Board.

A legislative rider to an ap-
preparations bill giving Federal
department heads summary dis
missal rights was under scrutiny
today in Federal court.
A test of the act has been
posed by Benjamin Scher. 46, OF
1918 Fifth street NV, a $4,000
a-year Commerce Department
chemist.
Mr.. Scher, a Russian-born
naturalized citizen. was dis
charged on April 3. 1858. by
Secretary Weeks. His pink slip
stated he was being sacked under
provisions of a rider attached
to the 1858 Commerce Appro-
priations Act.
It is no longer law. 1t died
with the appropriation.
The chemists lawyer, Ford E.
Young. jr., told visiting Judge
Benjamin Harrison of Los An
geles that Mr.. Weeks acted Sea
priciously" In using the power
full rider as a wedge to pry Mr..
Scher out of his job.
He contended the sweeping
powers given department heads
imposed upon those using it an
obligation 10 use discretion and
caution"
Discharge under the rider
supersedes all Civil Service reg
ulations and is not appealable.
Mr.. Young said his client had
never belonged to any Commu-
mist or Communist-front organ
izations.
He said the rider was used be-
cause Col. Newman Smith. Com
merce Security Officer. could not
sustain a security case against
the chemist.
First Case of Kind
Prefacing his remarks by ad-
mitting he had never handled
such case before, Judge Har-
rison said:
This case seems to boil down
to a single issue: Did Secretary
of Commerce Weeks under pro-
visions of the rider have abso-
lutte power to discharge if he
believed doing so was in the best
interests of the United States?
you, as you put it, say you
are respectfully requesting me to
set aside an administrative Or
der of the Secretary of Com
merce. But, I'm going to re-
spectfully decline to do So"
However. by the time Col.

veto the 8.6 per cent postal pay
reclassification bill - probably
within the next day or two.
Although the Democrats in
Congress will make a strong ef-
fort to override the veto. the odds
are against them obtaining the
two-thirds majority needed in
both the House and Senate.
This being the case, action Is
expected Immediately on the 7.6
per cent postal pay bill and the
6 per cent classified measure
acceptable to the White House.
Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee plans to
call his committee into session
Immediately after the fate Of
the SO per cent bill is deter
mined.
The Tennessee Democrat will
move to have the committee re-
port the 6 per cent classified pay
bilf and the 7.6 per cent postal
pay bill. The postal pay meas
ure actually will average around
8 per cent, since the Post Office
Department wants special de-
livery messengers and rural let
ter carriers to get a slightly
higher raise than provided in
the 7.6 per cent bill.
On the Senate side. the Sen
ate Civil Service Committee also
is expected to waste no time In
action on classified and postal
pay raise bills if the President
vetoes the 8.6 per cent postal pay
measure and the veto is sus-
tanned.
