Civil Servants
Abroad Praised

ROME, July 81 (P.-A United
States loyalty board has ended
hearings here involving Ameri-
cans working for international
organizations with praise for the
fine caliber" of civil servants
employed abroad.
Henry S. Waldman of the
loyalty board said four Ameri-
cans appeared before the panel
in Rome during its four-day
hearings here. This cleaned up
the investigation which involved
about $500 cases, he said. He
did not identify the four.
MIR. Waldman declared that
the number of Americans "of
whose loyalty we felt we had
reasonable doubt consti-
tutes only an inf1nitesimal part
of l per cent"
"This is a splendid tribute
to the fine caliber of inter-
national civil servants" coming
from the United States, he said
in an interview. I'VE have found
them on the average to be well
trained and well fitted"
The International Civil Serv-
ice Loyalty Board was set up
three years ago as an advisory
body concerned with the loyalty
of citizens employed by or con-
sidered for employment by inter-
national organizations.
When the board began its
hearings in Europe two years
ago seven members of the Unit
ed Nations Educational, Scien-
tific and Cultural Organization
refused to appear. Four were
fired.

Strauss Is Hit
On Reactor Bill
By the Associated Press

Democrats told the Senate
last night that Chairman Lewis
L. Strauss of the Atomic Energy
Commission first asked for a
Government program Of large
atomic power plants and then
helped to kill the bill that pro-
vided them.
Senator Anderson, Democrat
of New Mexico, chairman of the
Senate-House Atomic Commit
tee, and Senator Gore, Demo-
crat of Tennessee, author Of the
Senate-passed reactor bill that
died in the House. led the bitter
criticism Of the Acc chairman.
I'VE got him what his heart
desired exactly what he
wanted" Senator Anderson said
of Mr.. Strauss. But when we
brought in the bill he pitched in
to help kill it."
Senator Gore told the Senate
that a letter by Mr.. Strauss was
"a deliberate attempt to mis-
lead the House" and caused it
to defeat the reactor bill by a
narrow margin, with most Re-
publicans opposing it.
Passed Senate, 40 to 40.
Senator Gore referred to a
bill that passed the Senate by
a 1910 margin and called for
a $500 million Federal program.
The House first voted $40 mil
lion to start the projects in a
money bill before killing the
separate bill that authorized it.
The funds then were dropped
from an omnibus appropriation.
Backers of the bill said it
was necessary because private
industry could not handle the
atomic power plant program
adequately at this stage. OPP
ponentS called the bill unneces-
Sary and said it might discourage
private firms from carrying out
the task.
Both Senator Gore and Sen
ator Anderson promised that the
fight for the Government reactor
program would be renewed in
the next session of Congress.
Senator Gore fatty predicted its
approval by a wide margin.
mysterious Opposition" Cited
They said failure to approve
the program now means that
this country-after spending $14
billion of the taxpayers funds
in atomic development-will lag
behind Soviet Russia and sew
eral other nations in converting
nuclear power to peaceful uses,
such as production of electric
power.

back over a half century or more,
know that today's designations are
applied inequitably. Those of us
who do little thinking know that
there were bad children by COM
parison, so years ago, but such
were in the minority. We also know
that there are good children now,
and they are in the majority.
We had 'em so years ago just as
bad as some of those wild ones of
today. Perhaps there might have
been more wild ones, had they
known today's opportunities for
getting into mischief. On the whole,
I think children are better today,
lespite the few disgusting exam
ples we see now and then. Despite
the ready opportunities, the ever
present temptations before our
young people today, it seems to
me that on the whole, they show
more thoughtfulness, more under
standing, and more of desire to
be useful and helpful, than did the
young people of any period during
the past so years.
We ought to quit talking about
juvenile delinquents until SER
ious, organized effort is made to
replace temptations with opportu-
mites for betterment. We ought
not complain too much about the
mischief in which young people be-
come. embroiled until we provide
more wholesome entertainment and
more useful outlets for their ener-
gies.
No matter what we say, the
children of today are completely
the result of our own attitudes and
examples. They are our entire re-
sponsibility. We cannot blame to-
days young people as class with
out uttering severe indictment
of ourselves. We have not fully
discharged our duties and our re-
sponsibilities, when we can COM
plain of our country's young peo-
pie.
