LAW IN THE NEWS
Refusal Of Extrodition
For LITER Was Rarity

of the earliest Federal statutes
(1793) still in effect.
The curious part of the situa-
ton, however, is that there is
no practical way to force COM
pliance.
Perhaps the most famous case
in point arose just prior to the
Civil War when Gov. Dennison
of Ohio refused to turn over to
Kentucky a man who had been
helping slaves get across the
State line into free" territory.
Kentucky brought a suit in the
United States Supreme Court to
make Ohio comply. But Chief
Justice fancy (who also wrote
the famous bred Scott decision)
ruled that while Ohio did have
"a legal duty under Federal law
to comply with Kentucky's re-
quest. there was nothing any
DO0y could do II Ohio chose to
disregard it.
unlawful Flight" Law
This situation still persists to-
day, although to a lesser degree.
If Gov. Hartman wants to dis
regard Alabama'S request, he can
do so with practical impunity
But it should be noted that this
loophole in the law has been
more or less plugged by rela-
lively recent Federal statute
which makes it a crime to flee
from one State to another to
avoid prosecution or lawful i'm
prisonment.
This is the unlawful flight"
law, and under it an escaped
criminal can be nabbed by Uncle
Sam if the States fail to CO.
operate.

Murray Warns
OF Atomic Lag
Under Industry

Automic Energy Commissioner
Thomas E. Murray warned today
that the prospect of getting any
substantial quantity Of the in
dustrial atomic power In this
country by 1860 is very gloomy
because the Government has
|''prematurely abdicated" respon-
Isibility to private industry.
In a statement fled with the
Congressional Committee on
Atomic Energy. he urged that the
present civilian reactor program
be greatly stepped up by the
Government to maintain United
States leadership in that field.
His statement, while repeating
Recommendations he submitted
sometime ago on the same SUBJ
Iject. was considerably more en-
lphatic in calling for specific
Legislative action as soon as pos
lsible.
Lauded by Anderson
Senator Anderson. Democrat
of New Mexico, chairman Of the
Joint committee, said Mr.. Murray
has made a significant contribu-
ton to current discussions on the
| future of our civilian reactor
program"
Mr.. Murray outlined his views
under seven main considerations.
These were:
~. The increasing threat of
world destruction compells me to
urge again the acceleration of
effort on peacetime power reac-
tors.
-. The present prospect of
getting any substantial quantity
|of industrial atomic power in
this country by 1860 is very
gloomy and getting more gloomy
every day. At the root of the
matter Is the fact that the Gov
eminent has prelnatureIy abdi-
Gated to private industry the pri-
mary responsibility for building
large power reactors.
No Firm Assurance
20. Important reactor. types
have been staked out by indiyid-
ual companies or groups. Yet
there is no firm assurance that
these and other power reactors
will be built in the near future.
a. Repeating a recommended
ton made last February I again
urge the Government to assume
primary responsibility for large
reactor construction.
rs. While continuing to sup
port the Power Demonstration
Program. ] recommend that the
Government construct several
large power reactors and locate
them at Acc production facili-
ties, thus eliminating the issue OF
public versus private power.
Would Help Industry
IS. A program of large re-
actor construction would help
private industry. It would also
enable us to keep our repeated
and widely publicized promises
to make available the benefit OF
atomic energy to mankind at an
early date.
~. ! strongly recommend that
Congress enact legislation SINH
lar to that proposed by Senator
Gore Of Tennessee and Repre-
sentative Holifield of California.
This legislation would provide
for a program of large power
reactor construction generally
along the lines I have proposed
and at the location / have sug-
|gested."

already have seen the plan. be-
fore it submits any proposals
to Congress.
Basically, the commission staff
proposes that the present adj
Ijective rating system--satisfac-
tory, unsatisfactory and OUT
|standing-be abolished.
Instead. employees would be
given written civilizations of their
work by their supervisors. These
Ievaluations would be given an
|nually or oftener If the circum-
stances required it.
Object Is to Help Employees
The written evalutions. dis
|cussing the employees good and
weak points and evenues for inn
Iprovement. would not be used as
la disciplinary feature. nor would
lit be used as q means Of firing
|employes. It would be used solely
to help the employees do a better
job.
AS far as dismissals for inefi-
cheney or incompetence were con-
|cerned. agencies would use reg
|ular civil service firing regula-
tons to get rid of employees.
The csc staff feels that the
present performance rating sys-
tenn is meaningless, since more
than 50 per cent Of employees
get q satisfactory" rating. The
present adjective rating system
also does nothing toward help
ling an employee in his work or
furnishing any basis Of under
standing or cooperation be-
tween an employee and his super
visor, csc officials feel.
csc officials believe that by
|aholishing the adjective rating
system and installing a written
|evaluation system, both en-
|ployes and the Government
would benefit. The proposal
closely follows the recommends
Itions along this line made by
the Hoover Commission and a
House Civil Service Subcommit-
tee several years ago.
