termed vicious propaganda" Col.
John Knox Arnold's story of be-
ing mentally and physically tor
tured by Chinese Communists
trying to force a confession.
Col. Arnold, AZ. of Silver
Spring, Md. was one of II air
men released by the Chinese

border.
The Peoples Daily editorial,
quoted by Peiping Radio in a
broadcast heard here, was the
first Chinese Red public COM
ment on Col. Arnold's story Of
torture. He related it to a press
conference at Tokyo last Sunday.
At the news conference Col.
Arnold told of being beaten,
kicked. placed in pain inflicting
and being forced to
stand until you screamed"
The Peiping daily scoffed at
Col. Arnold's story of being held
for as long as 96 hours in

ton.
If what he said were true"
the broadcast editorial said,
'Arnold's blood circulation must
have been cut off for at least
four days and four nights. But
Arnold is now still alive"
The newspaper then quoted
United States Air Force medical
that the men were in
comparatively good physical
condition and said:
who then is connecting alb
surd lies? Is it the doctors or
is it Arnold. who has been
chosen as the vehicle for lies
about Chinas So-called inhuman

By JOSEPH YOUNG

President Eisenhower has
signed into law a bill to give
career status to more than 50,-
900 Government indefinite en-
ployes. The new law signed by
the President late yesterday
opens the way for career status
to indefinite employees who have
passed civil service exams and
who have completed at least
three years of satisfactory Fed
eral service. To obtain career
status. the employees must be
recommended by their agencies
to the Civil Service Commission.
At the same time. the Presi-
dent vetoed a bill which would
have given civil service retire.
ment credit to Federal employees
who previously served in State
agricultural programs financed
in part by Federal funds, and in
vocational education programs.
1t has been estimated that
5000 employees, half of them in
the Washington area, would have
benefited from the measure.
President Eisenhower said he
disapproved the bill because it
would make improper use Of
Government money to pay for
services never received by the
Government. because it would
result in an unSound shifting of
fiscal responsibility from State
to the Federal Government. be-
cause it would set an undesir-
able precedent and because it
constituted an unsound approach
to a desirable goal of increased
mobility.
Nevertheless. the President
promised to ask Congress next
year to bring Federal employees
under the social security system.
Noting that an increasing num-
Der of State employees are being
he said both Federal
and State retirement systems
would be preserved when a per-
son moves from one employer
to another.
