BY JOSEPH YOUNG


The Senate this week is ex-
Ipected to approve the Johnston
civil service retirement bill-ont
of the most important Fedora
lemploye measures in many years
Many observers feel the bill is
more important. for example
than last years Federal pay
raise legislation. They feel the
benefits in the measure would
prove of greater and more last
ling value to Federal workers ano
their families.
The bill would substantially
increase annuity and family sur
vivorship benefits and permit re-
tirement after 80 years Of serv-
ice, regardless of age, at only q
slight financial penalty to ar
employe. There are numerous
other benefits in the bill, all oil
which have been explained ir
detail in these columns.
In return for these benefits
Federal workers would pay 7 pei
cent of their salaries instead Of
the present 6 per cent.
Although the bill would moi
apply to Federal employees al.
ready retired. it does contain one
provision of great interest tt
such. The bill contains a policy
statement whereby it would bt

crease every time Government
workers receive a pay raise.
AS soon as the Johnston retire.
ment bill passes the Senate
there. will be a move made by q
number of Key House Civil Serv-
ice Committee members to start
hearings there as soon as pos
sible. Chairman Murray already
has promised that hearings will
be held. The Senate version may
be modified somewhat in the
House to cut the cost.

Leaders Warn
.Anti-StaIinism
Is World Peril
BY the Associated Press

A symposium released by the
House Committee on Un-Amer-I
lean Activities yesterday warns
that the new Soviet campaign of
lanti-Stalinisn presents a men,
ace to the free world greater
than Stalinism itself.
The new Russian leaders, who
have denounced the dead dicta-
tor. were described as still pursu-
ling his goal of world domination
but by subtler Misunderstanding
to lull, divide and undermine the
free nations.
The committee asked 80 edu-
Gators, writer's, veterans organi-
zation leaders, labor union heads,
ex-C Communists and others to
write their views on anti-Stalin-
ism and the recent goth congress
of the Soviet Communist Party.
Warns of Soviet Smile
In summation at the end of
the booklet, entitled THE Great
PretenSe," j. Edgar Hoover, di-
rector of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation. said:
when the Communist smirk
begins to change to q smile, as is
the case right now, we would be
well advised to refocus our sights.
Behind those changing spots, the
same bad blood still flows
Through the leopard's veins"
In a foreword. Representative
Walter, Democrat of Pennsyl-
vania. chairman of the commit
tee, said the Stain purge is all
the more dangerous because of
the confusion and deception
which it engenders.
Three Major Conclusions
The committee said the writer's
Of the symposium stood together
on three major conclusions:
l. The current policy and tao
tics of the Soviet Union present
the greatest danger ever to con-
front the West.
2. The developments in the
Soviet Union are a reflection of
growing strength and confidence
rather than weakness.
8. The policy of anti-Stalinism
does not denote any abandon
ment of the messianic Soviet
program of universal conquest.

who are working out with a

"They really have it." Fish
bait stated emphatically. "These
boys have a world of stuff and
control which would be the envy
of Chuck Dresser if he could
only see it.
Our strategy is to use a new
pitcher each inning. The man
in the box will bear down know
ing that he only has an inning
to go. He'll put all he's got on
every pitch.
Those Republicans won't even
see the ball let alone get their
creaking joints moving to bring
the bat over the plate"

Senators Ask
Cain Views
On Security
BY L. EDGAR PRINA

The Senate Subcommittee on
Constitutional Rights yester-
day invited former Republican
Senator Harry P. Cain to pre-
sent his views and recommends
tons on the administration Of
Government security programs
at a public hearing. probably
within the next two weeks.
In a letter to the Subversive
Activities Control Board men,
Der. chairman Hennings OBJ
served that the subcommittee
was in the process Of drafting
an initial report on its study of
the various personnel security
programs.
Your recent statements on
this subject evidence to me that
from your vantage post you may
be able to make important con-
tributions which may affect the
conclusions Of the subcommittee
and which it ought to have, 3"
Senator Hennings wrote.
He said he was extremely in
terested" in Mr.. Gains recent
speech in Denver in which he
sharply criticized the executive
branch for its handling of secu-
rity cases.
Due Back This Week
Mr.. Cain, an Eisenhower-ap-
Ipointee. is in Seattle on SACB
business. He is due back in the
capital late this week and a date
for his appearance before the
subcommittee will be set at that
time.
In announcing the invitation
to Mr.. Cain. Senator Hennings,
a Missouri Democrat, recalled
that about 10 days ago he had
asked both Defense Secretary
Wilson and Attorney General
Brownell to testify, but had not
yet heard from either official.
II am confident, however, that
their response has been merely
delayed, and that they do not
intend to ignore a formal request
from a committee of the United
States Senate to contribute their
needed advice and information"
the Senator added.
Mr.. Brownell long has been at
odds with Mr.. Cain over the
laters public attacks on the At
torney Generals so-called Sub
versive" list and the security
programs.
Hatkin Case Cited
Meanwhile. it was learned that
Air Force Secretary Quarles has
told the subcommittee he does
not believe the Sidney Hatkin
Chase demonstrates any urgent
need" to revise security case pro-
cedures in the Air Force.
Mr.. Hatkin, who reported be-
ing approached for military in
formation by a Soviet Embassy
aide, was reinstated by the Air
Force last week after being sus-
pended for more than IA months
without pay while his case was
being decided.
In still another related devel-
opment, Representative Scherer.
Republican Of Ohio, called on
the State Department to make
up its mind on what it is going
to do about Vladimir P. Mikheev,
the Russian who approached
Mr.. Hatkin and two other
American Government employees.
Scherer Wants Explanation

ment has been studying the
matter since March. Mr.. Scherer.

said:
Il would like to have an ex-
PLANTATION from the department
as to why it has taken so long
to act. And the explanation
