She said she was therefore

review.

their oral arguments yesterday
on behalf of Mr.. Foster.
She and Mr.. Hynning con-
tend the Army has never proved
that Mr.. Foster was a Com
ImuniSt or a Communist sympa-
Ithizer, as alleged, and therefore
has not shown him to be a Sc
curity risk.
Mr.. Foster was employed as
a maintenance carpenter-a

missal. His wife was brought

The Army apparently is hav-
ing difficulty deciding whether
to review the 1858 dismissal OF
William B. Foster, a carpenter
in light of its new order ending
automatic guilt by association in
military security cases.
Representatives of Mr.. Foster
who met yesterday with Frank
q. Willard, Army general coun-
sci, were told by him that he was
not authorized to say whether
the so-called Brucker directive
would be applied in any new
appraisal of the Foster case.
MIR. Willard said, however, he
believed the same common-sense
principles had been used by the
Army in finding the former long
time resident of the District to
be a security risk.
The Brucker directive, named
after Army Secretary WILDER Nj.
Brucker, established the doctrine
of personal guilt. 1t set new
standards for interpreting secu-
rity risk criteria and ended auto
matte guilt by association, kin
ship and character reference.
After the directive was made
public last April, Hugh M. Mil
ton II, Assistant Secretary of the
Army, said serious consideration
would be given to extending it
to cover the civilian security pro-
gram.
At the same time, the Seattle
Urban League wired Mr.. Brucker
requesting an appointment with
him or one of his representatives
to discuss the Foster case in light
of the Secretary's directive.
Mr.. Brucker designated MIR
Willard.
Mrs. Mary Farquharson, Sec
Rotary of the Urban League, said

House HEARINGS
Called on Three
U. 5. Job Bills
Civil Service Group
Meets June lo on
Retirement Measure
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

Chairman Murray Of the House
Civil Service Committee today
announced his committee will
hold hearings on three major
Federal employe bills-retire-
ment, major medical health in
surance and employee training.
The House group will start
hearings on the Senate-approved
Johnston civil service retirement
bill on June 10.
This bill would boost Federal
employee annuities by about Is
per cent and increase family
survivorship BENEFITS by so per
cent or more. 1t would also
permit optional retirement after
80 years of service regardless of
age. with only a slight financial
penalty for each year the en-
ploye is under age go.
Important Legislation
The Senate bill is regarded by
Federal employe leaders as one
OF the most important Govern
ment employee bills of the past
two decades.
Mr.. Murray indicated his COM
mittee hoped to take no longer
than a week or 10 days in hold
ing hearings on the measure.
With Congress driving for an
adjournment late next month
the time element is important.
The House committee also will
hold a one-day hearing next
Thursday on the administrators
proposal for major medical
health insurance for Federal
workers and their families. The
plan would provide, without
charge to employees and their
families. insurance for long and
costly illnesses which result in
expenses above those paid by
ordinary basic health insurance
policies furnished by private
health insurance companies.
Chances Are Revived
The committees action re-
vived chances of the proposal
which has been languishing due
to the opposition Of private
health groups. The Senate has
not yet acted on this legislation.
The House committee will
hold hearings on June Is. on the
administrations proposal that
Federal employees be permitted
to take outside training to i'm
prove their work and advance
their careers.
Under the proposal, Federal
workers would be selected by
their agencies to attend colleges,
industrial plants and labora-
tories, trade associations or other
facilities for training. Chair
man Johnston of the Senate
Civil Service Committee said
recently that his group also plans
hearings on the bill,
