Put Above Pettiness
Speaking of Mr.. Eisenhower.
the Vice President said:
I'VE know we need never fear
that he win debase his high Of
fee by deeds or words which are
cheap. crude or petty, We know
he will not deliberately misrep-
resent or distort for political
goals"
Mr.. Nixon said that because
the Republican Party, in a short
time. has advanced the best in
terests Of all the people. regard
less Of party, Il say the Repub-
lican Party is in truth the major
ity party in America today"
He described the three leading
Democratic candidates for the
presidency stevenson, Harri-
man and Kefauver) as three
candidates in search Of a crisis"
Asserting that labor today has
more jobs and better wages and
working conditions than ever be-
fore, the Vice President predicted
that its leaders. even II they
wished to do so, will not be able
to persuade the workers to vote
Democratic next November.
He named the Democratic
Party in control today as the
Americans for Democratic Ac-
ton. Big City Boss and Left
Wing Party-different from the
party of Thomas Jefferson, which
believed in the rights Of the In
dividual and Of the States. The
Republican Party. he said, be-
lieves in the individual and in
dividual initiative, and is OPP
posed to specialization under a
great centralized government.

ing the administrations request
Here is the situation: The
Defense Department now has
authority to have only As scien-
tiflc jobs in the $10.000-$15.000-
a-year category. With Its ex-
banded research and develop
ment program. the department
has found this number of posi-
tons grossly inadequate. The
result has been that the Defense
Department has filled some OF
its present 240 super-grade GS-
16 to Is jobs with scientists
physicists. engineers and other
scientific personnel.
The departments request fol
235 more scientific positions IL,
the 0,000-to-$15.000 category
would mean. If granted, that il
could not only promote many Of
its outstanding employees to these
salaries. but 1t also would free
some Of the GS-16 to 10 super.
grade jobs for administrative
and executive personnel.
The departments request would
increase the present 240 SUPER
grade jobs to 2s5. 1t would in
crease the present IS scientific
jobs in the $40, 00-to-Sl5, 600
category to 275.
Also. an additional IS scien-
tif1c Jobs paying $40, 000-$l5. 000-

tor of the Naval Research Lab
Ioratory. DR.. Torpey went to
New York recently to the meet
ing of the American Institute OF
Physics, where he and other
Government officials competed
with industry in trying to hire
physicists at a special placement
service set up for the meeting.
DR.. Torpey said he was
burned up" because the in
dustry recruiters were winning
and dining the prospective en-
ployes. He explained that il
was not ethical for him as a
Government representative to dc
this. The Government, he de-
Iclared, also was handicapped in
filling its vacancies because it,
unlike industry, could not offer
applicants such fringe" benefits
as housing and compensation for
moving and travelling expenses
to new jobs.
Besides all this, DR.. Torpey
said that industry representa-
tives were offering starting sal
aries as high as $500 a year to
top college graduates who ma
jored in nuclear physics. This
is more than $4,000 higher than
the Government can offer to
newcomers in this field.
During this recruitin g
period" observed DR.. Torpey,

London Probes
Cairo Letter

! LONDON, Feb. IA R.-Se-
curity officers are investigating a
mystery letter addressed by an
unidentified American to Brit
aims renegade diplomat Donald
Maclean.
| The letter recently was found
concealed In a book in the library
of the British embassy in Cairo
where Maclean formerly was en-
Iployed. a spokesman at the For
eign ONCE daily news conference
said today.
AT first sight, the letter does
not appear to be as sensational
or as interesting as at first
represented" the spokesman as
serted.
British newspapers have pub
lished unoficial versions of the
letter, saying it was discovered
by an embassy employee several
months ago.
This person Immediately passed
the letter to the embassy chiefs,
thinking it perhaps contained
coded secrets. the newspapers
said.
The letter now is in London
and under examination by Brit
ish military intelligence agents
Spy Ring Contacts Hinted
Some of the newspaper ac-
counts limited that Maclean, who
fled to the Soviet Union with
fellow diplomat Guy Burgess in
1851. had contacts with a spy
ring involving Americans.
| In 1850 Maclean was chief Of
the Cairo Embassy political Sec
ton and before that he had
served in the British Embassy in
Washington. At the time Of his
detection to the Communists. he
was head Of the Foreign Omce's
American section in London.
Sir George Young. the Foreign
ONCE spokesman. told newsmen
the letter was not reported to
London until recently because ut
| is not a very interesting letter"
He did not say why it was
considered undressing. He
added he could not identify the
writer of the letter beyond con-
| f1rming he was an American.
! Maclean and Burgess, after q
mysterious silence Of almost i've
years. turned up in Moscow last
Saturday and issued a press
statement denying they ever were
Soviet agents while serving the
Foreign once.
A dispatch from London by
Don Cook in the New York Her.
aid Tribune today said that he
had heard of the letter while on
assignment In Cairo several
months ago.
Signed by American
! The letter was turned over Il
the embassy's intelligence branch
The letter was signed by ar
American, with indications that
the sender may have been ar
employe of the United States
embassy across the street ir
Cairo from the British embassy
IMr. Cooks account said.
The letter contained "a serie.
of cryptic sentences with ref
Ierences Of a clearly conspiratoria
sort that only the recipient woulc
fully understand. One sentence
ran: David is very caution:
about Donald's replacement anc
doesn't know what he is like"
Mr.. Cook said the letter also
carried a reference to shirts and
towels and even a superficial
appraisal led to the conclusion
that Maclean had an American

Order of Publication

The object of this suit is to
obtain for the plaintiff, Ruth D.
Dixon, specific performance of a
contract entered into between the
plaintiff and one Harold Evans,
late of Montgomery County,
Maryland.
The Bill states in substance:
That on the 23rd day of March,
1856, one Harold Evans, late of
Montgomery County, Maryland,
died intestate, without heirs and
next of kin; that the said Harold
Evans, deceased, died seized and
possessed of a certain house and
parcel of land situate, lying and
being in Montgomery County,
State of Maryland, and known as
5136 WisSioming Road, Glen Echo
Heights, and more particularly
described as all of Lot Number
Twenty t20) in Block Number
Thirteen (13) in a subdivision
known as Glen Echo Heights, i,
Montgomery County, Maryland,
as per plat thereof recorded in
Plat Book "B" at page A, one of
the Land Records of said County,
said property being acquired by
the said Harold Evans by deed
from Florence x. Farnsworth,
trustee under the last will and
testament of Stephen j. Kubel,
said deed appearing in Liber 934
at folio 231 of the Land Records
of said County, that during the
lifetime of the said Harold Evans,
to wit, in the month of August,
1855, while seized and possessed
of the aforementioned property,
5136 Wissioming Road, the said
Harold Evans entered into an oral
agreement with the plaintiff,
Ruth d. Dixon, whereby the said
Harold Evans agreed to will the
aforementioned property at 5136
Wissioming Road to the plaintiff
at his death in consideration of
the plaintiffs rendering nursing
services and care to him for the
remainder of his life; that the
plaintiff has fully complied with
all the terms and conditions of
said agreement; that notwith.
standing the fact that the plain
tiff fully performed her part of
the said agreement with the said
Harold Evans, the said Harold
Evans failed to will the said prop
erty at 5136 Wissioming Road to
the plaintiff at his death and said
decedent has therefore preached
his agreement and contract with
the plaintiff; that the plaintiff
does not have a complete and ade-
quate remedy at law and unless
the Court intervenes in the mat.
ter she will be seriously and i'm.
reparably damaged in her prop.
erty and contract rights.
The Bill then prays:
ID That the said agreement
may be specifically enforced and
that the defendants, unknown
heirs of the said Harold Evans
may be decreed to convey unto
the plaintiff, Ruth d. Dixon, the
aforesaid premises at 5136 Wis
sioming Road in accordance
Herewith.
(2) That the plaintiff, Ruth d
Dixon, may have such ether anc
further relief as to the Court may
seem just and proper and as The
nature of the case may require.
IT Is THEREUPON, this It'll
day of September, 1856, by the
Circuit Court for Montgomery
County, Sitting as a Court o.
Equity, and by authority thereof
adiudged and ordered that th'
plaintiff publish a copy of this Or
Z der in some newspaper, printed
and published in said Montgom
