By L. EDGAR PRINA

A GS-5 illustrator, who re-
signed from the Internal Rev.
enue Service after waiting in
vain six months for a decision in
a security case. has demanded
immediate reinstatement to his
nonsensitive job on the basis of
the Supreme Courts ruling in
the Cole case.
He is John Carr Rogers, 40.
who lives with his wife, a Depart
ment of Agriculture employee,
and their two small children at
lis E. Maple street. Alexandria,
Va. He is challenging the Gov
eminent on what he calls an
illegal suspension" This is be-
lieved to be the first case of its
kind.
Byron N. Scott. a former
Democratic Congressman who is
Mr.. Rogers attorney. released to
The Star today copies of letters
he has sent in his clients behalf
to Secretary of the Treasury
Humphrey and Chairman Philip
Young Of the Civil Service Com
mission.
"Starved into Resignation"
Asserting that Mr.. Rogers was
the target of an illegal SuSpen-
sion," Mr.. Scott wrote in both
letters:
"AS result of this suspension,
he was starved into resignation
so he could draw out his retire
ment fund and save his home
from foreclosure.
In view of the Supreme Court
in Cole versus Young declaring
all suspensions and dismissals
from non-sensitive position S
under cover of Public Law 1888 as
illegal. Mr.. Rogers suspension
must be regarded as null and
void. :"
Qn the Cole decision. the
Court ruled, 6-to-3, that Kend-
rick M. Cole. a Department of
Health, Education and Welfare
employe with no sensitive
duties, was illegally discharged
under Federal personnel secur-
ity program procedures. The
court did not mention suspen-
sions specifically, but many law
yers argue that the ruling
obviously meant there were to be
no suspensions of non-sensitive
jobholders.)
No Decision Made
Mr.. Rogers was charged and
suspended on July %, 1854, on
alleged Communist associations.
Finally, when his savings were
exhausted, he resigned so he
could withdraw his retirement
funds. That was in January,
1855. The Treasury Department
thus never came to a decision
in the case.
Later, the illustrator took steps
under Executive Order 10450,
which established the security
program, to get himself cleared
for a non-sensitive job in an
other agency. He asked the
Civil Service Commission to in
vestigate. On October 6, 1855,
he was notified that he had been
cleared of the charges impugn-

Turned Down for Jobs

turned out to be virtually value

SPECIAL SESSION
WOULD GIVE G. o. l
SENATE CONTROL

If the international situa-
ton should require a spe-
cial session of Congress
between now and January
3. the Republicans would
hold a temporary majority
in the Senate.
This came to light today
when Senate officials pointed
out that two Of the new Re-
publicans who capture d
Democratic seats Tuesday
are eligible to take their seats
Immediately. This is because
they are filling the unex-
pired terms of Democrats
who died this year. They are
Senators-elect Revercomb Of
West Virginia, succeeding
the late Senator Kilgore, and
Cooper of Kentucky, sue
ceeding the late Senator
Barley.
This means that, for the
time being, the Senate stands
at 40 Republicans to AZ
Democrats. But even if a
special session became nee
essary, it is doubtful whether
the Republicans would at
tempt to reorganize the Sem
ate for a few weeks. knowing
that on January 3 the stand
ing would revert to 40 Demo-
Gratis and AZ Republicans.

THOMAS l. STOKES
Election Results in the West

a former Governor, he went
down to defeat by a convinc-
ing margin. Day after day,
Senator Morse pilloried him
for what he called his give
away" policy as Secretary of
Interior. Singled out for Spe-
cial treatment was the for
mer Secretary's withdrawal
from the Federal Power Com
mission of the previous DEM
ocratic administrations app
prevail of public development
of Hells Canyon in the Snake
River along the Oregon Idaho
border. Instead of Federal de-
velopment of the full poten-
tials of this last biggest hydro
electric power site in our coun-
try, the Secretary favored
pob-tailed development by the
Idaho Power Co., an absentee
owned corporation.
This issue, so important to
the Pacific Northwest. ramified
also into Idaho and Washing
ton in this election. In Wash
ington, Senator Warren Mag
nuson, Democrat, who joined
Senator Morse in the Senate
fight for the Morse-PfoSt bill
to require Federal development
at Hell's Canyon. used it in his
successful campaign against
Gov. Arthur Langlie, the Re-
publican who was enlisted by
President Eisenhower to enter
the race against Senator Mag
nuson. He was roundly de-
feated by the Democrat. The
Morse-PfoSt bill was beaten in
the Senate toward the end of
the last session when the
White House brought pressure
to bear and lined up Republic
can Senators against it.
Over in Idaho, Oracle Pfost,
House sponsor of the Helfs
Canyon measure, was re-
elected. A Democrat who adj
vocated public development in
his campaign, Frank Church,
won a surprise victory over
Senator Herman Welker, the
Republican incumbent who
helped to line up Republican
support to kill the Hell's
Canyon bill.
The Pacific Northwest spoke
up in no uncertain terms
against the administrations
natural resources policies.

Democrats Viewed as Having Shown
More Gross-Roots Strength There

water resources and conserva-
ton issue was clearly defined.
more so than any other issue
raised by Democrats in any
other section. There, too, the
verdict was equally clear and
unmistakable - reputation Of
the Eisenhower administra-
tons so-called partnership
policy" for river development.
Under that policy. as we know.
public development has been
displaced by private develop
ment on a restricted basis and
with special privileges for util-
tiles in the public domain that
mean higher rates for the
consumer.
The issue was so sharp be-
cause the symbol of admins
tration policy was himself be-
fore the voters for a referen-
dun, so to speak. This was
former Secretary of Interior
Douglas Mckay, who was in
charge of administration policy
until a few months ago. Late
in the spring he resigned and
was drafted by the President
to run for the United States
Senate in Oregon in an effort
to unseat Senator Wayne
Morse, former Republican who
turned Democrat in early 1855.
How important the admin
istration and the Republican
Party regarded this refer
endum on its natural re-
sources policy was manifest
in two developments. One
was the visit by the President
to Oregon to urge the cleo
ton of his former cabinet
officer. The other was the dis
patch by the Republicans of
$4,000 to the campaign Ct
Mckay, as revealed by the
recent report of the Senate
Privileges and Elections sub
committee. which was nearly
half of the $4,000 total spent
on behalf of Republican sena-
torial candidates from Septem-
Der to october 81. the period
covered by the report.

in our national election this
week other than a thunderous
I'VE like Ike?
In other respects there was a
babel Of voices. with the un-
usual in one state, the Repub-
lican sweep in West Virginia,
being offset by a surprise in
another. the veritable Demo-
cratic earthquake in once
staunch Republican Oregon at
the other end of the American
political spectrum. We could
carry on that process in various
parts of the map.
But there was a fairly clear
design in the West where DEM
ocrats showed their greatest
upsurge Of grass-roots strength
on candidates and issues for
Offices below the presidency.
Also, they reduced the Eisen-
hover majorities generally be-
low his 1852 showing in many
States, in contrast to the sweep
in the East and gains prac-
tically everywhere else.
Two issues stand out in the
West, Il, farm and 90 water
resource and conservation poll
cies of the Eisenhower admin
istration. Democrats whaled
away at both and on both they
made votes that paid dividends
for candidates for Senate and
House, while the steam they
generated spread out to help
in contests for State and local
Offices.
Consequently, we may look
for repercussions on these
issues in the new 85th Congress
which Democrats will control.
In the West, Democrats
picked up a dozen seats in
the House of Representatives
to Offset House losses in the
East. For those upsets farm
discomfort was a. big factor
along with the Eisenhower
administrations restrictions on
public development of power
resources, an issue that was
