dustry.
Fighting to retain Section e3s
are the various Federal employee
unions. They declare that repeal
of the provision not only would
wipe out thousands Of civilian
jobs but would be more costly to
the Government.
Federal employee leaders say
the cost to American taxpayers
would be greater because the
work would have to be performed
by employees Of private contrac-
tors. These private industry
workers draw higher salaries
than Federal workers. they say.
Furthermore. employee leaders
say that the defense program
would be hurt in many cases be-
cause Of the loss Of experienced
Federal workers whose jobs would
be wiped out.
Mr.. Wilson'S bill was referred

the bill be stymied. then a move

Hoover Pushes
Plan 10 Tighten
President sTask
BY J. A. oLEARY


A move to amend the Consti-
tuition to take the Vice Presi-
dent out of the Senate and make
him an active assistant to the
President developed today at the
Opening Of Senate hearings or
how to tighten the burdens OF
the presidency.
This suggestion by Senators
McC lellan, Democrat of Arkan.
Isas, and Margaret Chase Smith
Republican -of Maine, was
drowned on by FORMER President
Herbert Hoover. the first wit
mess. ;.
Mr.. Hoover, who argued fol
Ibis own plan Of appointing an
administrative vice president tt
take over many OF the routine
duties now imposed on the mar
lin the White House. reminded
1.-THE Senators that there were
cases In the earlier history OF
THE Nation IN which violent con.
fiicts developed between a Presi-
tdent and his elected Vice Presi.
dent.
Would Favor Appointment
Mr.. Hoover said that If thu
committee wants to amend the
Constitution along the lines sug.
lgested by the. two Senators. HI
did not believe the vice presi.
dency could be continued as ar
elective office. He thought un.
der that system the Vice Presi'
dent would have to be an ap.
pointed officer in order to keeI
the responsibility centered In thu
President.
Before the hearing began Il
was revealed that both the White
House and former President Tru'
man disapprove Of the Hoover
proposal for q new administra'
tive vice president.
Mr.. Hoover told the Senate
Subcommittee on Government
Reorganization. headed by Sena-
tor Kennedy. Democrat Of Mas.
Isachusetts. he thinks these ex'
Ipressions of disapproyal were
based upon q misimpression Of
what my proposal really way
and and I would certainly vel.
come any other effective method
because some method is re.
lquired."
Cites Recent Illness
The sl-year-old ex-President
testified that four of the last
seven Presidents have been in
lcapacitated in critical periods.
such q calamity would moi
likely have happened to any Of
these men in private life." MIR
Hoover added. For 40 years
have had an unique opportunity
Ito know the duties imposed or

States. Even In 1921 I was on
