By I. EDGAR PRINA

Senator Carlson. Republican
Of Kansas, today agreed with q
witness before q Civil Service
subcommittee that much Of the
formality surrounding security
procedures could be eliminated
without hurting the program.
He said that he has long felt
that security officers should in
formally and without fanfare
approach an empioye against
whom derogatory information
has been turned up and ask him
for an explanation before formal
charges were made,
This was one of q dozen sug-
gestions for improving the se-
curity program which were
offered by John B. Phelps Of
the Federation Of American
Scientists.
In his testimony before the
group headed by Senator john
ston, Democrat of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Phelps asserted that less
attention should be paid to 6nl-
ployes In non-sensitive positions
and more to those who actually
handle vital secrets.
Interviews Already Suggested
"We need more security" he
said. "The question Is whether
this ttne present programl is the
way to get il"
The Justice Department last
March, in q list of suggested inn
provements Of Its own. urged
that department heads instruct
their security officers to inter-
view suspected employees before
formal charges were made.
Under questioning by the sub
committee, Mr.. Phelps said that
''to some extent" the security
program has made inspiring
young scientists reluctant to
enter the Government service.
But he added quickly:
Certainly. however. scien-
fists are not leaving the Govern
ment by droyes and good ones
are coming in"
Earlier. Fred w. Baumann. jr..
acting security officer for the
Government Printing Office. told
the subcommittee that most Of
the ST GPO employees listed as

Bi-Partisan Approach Urged

said that political activities Of

almost complete anarchy, in the
handling Of the security prob
lem. He called for q bipartisan

Mr.. Ferfnan took sharp issue
with Phillip Young. chairman
fof the Civil Service Commission.
who earlier this year told an
other Senate subcommittee that
good personnel management"
dictates against giving proba-
|tionary employees q security
hearing.
That Is an incredible state
Iment," the witness said.
He added that he believed 1t
was one Of the obvious steps in
a good personnel program to re-
solve questions Of a security ma
ture In the files Of persons being
trained for Government employ
ment.
Charges Seen Substantiated
Earlier. Senator Johnston con-
tended that yesterdays testi-
mony Of Veterans administrators
II. v. Higley has substantiated
Democratic charges that the adj
ministration has padded its se-
curity risk figures.
Mr.. Higley said that the great
majority" Of 449 VA employees
listed as fred for security rea-
sons were not security risks. :
The VA chief said although
initial checks in the above cases
were made under the security
program. they were terminated
under regular civil service pro-
cedures when 1t was found that
only so-called suitability factors
were involved.
Under Executive Order 10450,
which set up the security pro-
gram in May, 1858. such citeria
as untrustworthiness. immoral-
ity, drunkenness and unreliable
ity are used-just as they are
under civil service regulations.
Bears Him Out
Senator Johnston told newsmen
that you can call it padding or.
whatever you want" but that the
situation as revealed by Mr.. Hig-
ley bore out the numbers rae
ket" charge that he and other
critics have made.
The South Caralinian as
serted that practically all"1

could have been fired under

Sam Royburn Sees
No Necessity Of
Special Session

Los ANGELES. Sept. ~ tF5
House Speaker Sam Rayburr
was quoted today Is saying
Were certainly not going to
kick . sick man around when
asked how Democrats feel about
President Eisenhower,s heart at
tack.
Mr.. Rayburn made the remark
in q telephone interview from
his home m Bonham. Tex. with
the MirroW-News.
The 74-year-old Texan. next
ID lire after Vice President
Nixon In succession TO the Pres
idency, said he sees no necessity
for q special session Of Congress
to deal with problems attendant
to the Presidents illness.
The question of whether the
Democratic majority in Congress
win support Mr.. Eisenhower
while he Is incapacitated does
not arise. Mr.. Rayburn said. be-
cause medical reports I have
seen indicate the President viii
be recovered By the time Con-
gress convenes In January. That
question can be taken up them
MIR. Rayhurn also was quoted
as saying he sees no need for
congressional approval or any
powers Mr.. Eisenhower might
delegate to subordinates. as the
Constitution is specific about
which powers may be delegated.
He added, however, any come
mittee Of Government leaders
formed to act during the Presi-
dents Illness must be careful not
to exceed powers specifically re-
served to the President.
"The Constitution is specific
about the powers Of the Presi-
dent. Mr.. Eisenhower cannot
delegate his primary powers to
anyone else" Mr.. Rayburn said.

Matter Not BrouEht Up

He told questioners that the
President himself had not said
anything to anyone about the
possibility of delegating any Of
his authority during his illness.
Although the matter has been
under active consideration by
administration leaders in WASH
Iington. Mr.. Hagerty said there
lis no need for immediate deci-
sion.
He explained that there is
nothing Of any official nature
pending now requiring q presi-
dent signature. Some letters
are being written for the Presi-
dent and signed for him by menu
bers Of his staff without bother
ing him with them.
Asked II there was any way In
the present situation for q defini-
tive reply to 60 to Soviet Premier
Bulganin's recent letter to the
President about disarmament
negotiations. Mr.. Hagerty said
that question had not come up.
The press secretary tended to
agree with q reporter who asked
him II there was not . "for-
tu1ate lull" In Govefnrnent BUSH
ness now anyway. s
Major Matters Prepared
He replied that many major
matters due to come before the
President for decision before the
year is out now are in the pro-
cess Of preparation.
As one example. he cited the
Federal budget for the 1856 fis-
|cal year. He said departmental
reviews are being completed Just
about now, with the Budget
Bureau preparing initial drafts
LOT the estimates. Normally
these would not come to the
Presidents attention until De-
|cember. he said. The hope is
that by then Mr.. Eisenhower will
be back ct his desk.

When asked If he would be 4

replied that is assuming some
thing that Is not in evidence Il

Republicans who are thinking
in terms Of another Eisenhower

the late President Franklin d.

Stond On Religion
In Education Stated

NEW YORK, (JTA) - A state
ment clarifying the attitude of the
American Jewish Committee on
various aspects concerning reli-
gion in education was issued by
the organization. The statement is
doubtful about proposals to teach
common core" of religion or
basic theological principles. 1t also
rejects the proposal to invite
clergymen into the classroom to
give religious instruction to chill
dren of their respective faiths.
The American Jewish Commit
tee statement of views also makes
clear the stand of the organization
on issues concerning religion in
education questions such as re-
leased time, bible reading and
prayer in the schools, use of
school premises for religious pur-
poses. religious holiday observ-
ances and federal aid to the states.
