vidual governments strong diver
gencies have appeared.
In France, objections have been
directed against tying up Of Eura-
tom and the Common Market.
France was afraid that her agri-
culture. = up to now protected by
tariffs and still based on a family
pattern, would be completely dis
rupted with incalculable social and
political consequences.
Also, some opposition developed
against Euratom itself. It was
argued that atomic energy integra-
ton would mean giving up a ma
tons right to manufacture its own
atomic weapons.
In Germany, there was an obvious
and strong aversion to Euratom
mostly because of its supranational
character and its monopoly over
nuclear materials. German industry
was afraid that its superior tech
nical capacity was going to be
restricted. On the other hand, Ger
many was much more favorable to
the Common Market idea.
The purely political reactions
were not less discouraging. So
cialist parties of all six countries
were Directing to the scheme be-
cause the proposed competence of
Euratom has been held insufficient
Tor ensuring the welfare of the
European community. Liberals,
Christian Socialists. and Democrats
expressed their opposition to any
further increase in the authority
OF the planned supranational insti-
tutions. some of them rejecting the
whole indignation as an infringe
ment upon national sovereignties.
Compromises Mode
AS it now looks, all sides have
retreated under the impact of the
Middle East troubles. France and
Germany reconciled their attitudes
after the last obstacles were cleared
IN discussions between French Pre-.
mler Guy Mollet and West Ger
man Chancellor Konrad Adenauer
during the latter's visit to Paris
IN November. Both governments
nave since declared their readiness
10 accept both Euratom and the
Common Market.
France and Belgium even took
another initiative proposing to
widen the scope Of the customs
union and to include in it their
overseas territories.
The industrial associations in in
diVidual states, though having
some reservations. have let it be
known that they would not press
their opposition so far as to kill
efforts for European unification.
a great change has also been re-
corded in the British attitude. From
the beginning discussions about
atomic energy integration in Brit
ain kept aloof from ties to Euratom
and looked askance on the proposed
Common Market. Yet in recent de-

BY L. EDGAR PRINA

Last June II. the United States
Supreme Court ruled that the Fed
eral Employe Security Program
could not be used to fire individuals
from non-sensitive jobs.
Today, six months later, the adj
ministration still has not revised
the program to conform with the
courts decision. And indications
are that, after the failure within
the executive branch to agree on
what Justice Department official
called an enduring, fair and
equitable program" the whole
matter will be deferred until next
spring. That's when the Commits
sion on Government Security is due
to make report and recommends
tons on the entire internal security
picture.
This wait-and-see policy is in
sharp contrast to the zeal with
which security risks were pursued
In the 1885 period.
But even more striking is the
fact that no move is now being
made through available legal means
to GUST persons found by the
Government to be potential threats
to the Nations security and now
back on the Federal payroll under
the Cole US Young decision. This
is the story:
Although the Government is re-
CURED to reinState these persons
in their jobs, the court pointed out
that the Government had adequate
powers under the Lloyd LaFollette
and Veterans Preference Acts to
fire holders Of nonsensitive Jobs.
Warned Of Future Action
Furthermore, Attorney General
Brownell urged department heads
after the Cole decision to warn the
280 persons fired illegally under the
security programs Executive Order
10450 that further removal pro-
ceedings might be taken against
them after their reinstatement. He
suggested that these persons could
resign at once and still get their
back pay.
For his part, Philip Young, chair
man Of the Civil Service Commits
sion, sounded warning of dire
consequences. In supporting the
Walter bill to extend the security
program to nonsensitive jobs and
thereby reverse the court, Mr..
Young told Congress that 1.-The Post

Suez Crisis Gives Impetus to Efforts
To Set Up European Atom Power Pool

Anatagonisln between France and
Germany deadlocked the commits
sion for time and 1t appeared
there was no chance for reconcilia-
ton. Since the Suez crisis developed,
however, progress has been rapid.
There are now some experts who
predict that Euratom will be a
reality within two months.
Would Pool Efforts
Euraton1 would pool the re-
sources. experience and technical
capacity of the six Western Euro
pean nations in a manner much
like the Coal and Steel Community
the So-called Schuman Plan. In
fact, it has been proposed that the
Common Assembly and the Court of
Justice of the Coal-Steel Pool also
serve Euratom.
The key position in Euratom Is
to be occupied by the European
Atomic Energy Commission. 1t
would have the exclusive right in
all six nations 10 purchase and
allocate nuclear materials; it would
control utilization and security ar
rangements. and manage atomic
energy installations. 1t would pro-
mote and support research and
studies Of nucleonics, and have
rights. after a just compensation,
to patents in the field Of atomic
energy.
In some ways, the functions Of
the European Atomic Energy Com
mission resemble its American
counterpart. though the Euratom
idea goes much farther in its
political implications. The Euro
pean Commission would actually be
an executive branch, responsible to
and depending for its budget on
the Euratom Common Assembly
composed of members of the parlia-
ments Of the participating coun-
tries and representing the legisla-
tive authority Of Euratom.
It would seem reasonable to ex-
pect that soon this common as
sembly of Little Europe" would
develop into a powerful political
authority.
In the association of Euratom
with two other communal Euro
pean projects-the Coal-Steel Pool
and the Common Market" - lies
the real Importance of the whole
scheme. The common institutions
Of these organizations could pro-
vide the nucleus of the legislative.
executive and judicial branches Of
any future European government.
The Common Market
Some nations have made the
Common Market condition for
participation in Euratom. The
Benelux nations. for example,
would not accept Euratom with
out Common Market, which they
consider essential for European
unification.
The aim of the Common Market
scheme is to establish a customs
union among six nations of West
ern Europe. 1t would create q vast
market area with a population Of
about 200 million. Present national
tariffs would be eliminated. As
such a step, If suddenly exc
cuted, would entail substantial
changes in economic activities
and would certainly bring a dan
gerous disruption of economic and
social relations. the proposal sug-
-gests period Of IL to Is years in
which tariffs would be progress
sively removed.

ernments have at least nominally
supported both projects, which
their foreign ministers initiated at
Messina in 1854. But within indi-

Robert Cotton is the one and only man possible in reaching
the shores Of the Virgin Islands capable of running our edu-
cational systematic one and only brain possible Of reach
ing the heights and impartng to our children. It is not my
belief, Mr.. President, that in confirming a commissioner of
education for the Virgin Islands that it should be expected
that this individual will go into the class rooms and impart
his educational knowledge to the students. I take exception
to that, MI. President, because it seems to me that this pres
surixing' has been lowering the standard Of our educators.
The record shows very clearly that these educators,
within the three Virgin Islands, have done an outstanding
Job from their own educational background-their prepared
ness, by their own preparedness, Mr.. President. They pre-
pared our children in these islands, passed them from the
first grade to our Senior High School-12th grade-and many
of those graduates have sojourned to the United States and
elsewhere, attained higher education, and, in many instances
have come through from the very beginning with flying CO.

FILA Rate Increase
Expected Monday

BARBERTON. Ohio, Nov. 80
R). - Representative William
Ayres, Republican of Ohio, says
the interest rate on FILA loans
soon will be increased.
Addressing the annual meeting
of the Barberton Chamber OF
Commerce last night. the Akron
legislator said President Eisen-
hover would issue an executive
order Monday increasing the
interest rate from As to S per
cent.
He said the increase would in
effect make the CT loan law in
operative because financial in
situations would be reluctant to
make Gil loans at a lower interest
rate. He pointed out that the
rate on CT loans is frozen by law
at as per cent and cannot be
increased by executive order.
