GETTYSBURG, Pa, Sept. is
President Eisenhower worked
today on a speech to open his
television campaign for a second
term next Wednesday night with
a plug for his "win the peace
program.
The President is expected to
defend his administrators rec

Democratic charges that it is
losing the cold war. and argue
that keeping him in Office an
other four years offers the best
hope for achieving durable world
peace.
Rain kept Mr.. Eisenhower in

in an 18-hole round Of golf this
morning. 1t was his best golf
score since before his heart at
tack nearly year ago, but still
disappointing because he thought
he had shot a 70.

U. S. Ship Sinks With 81;
Crew Hired at Norfolk

BODOE, Norway, Sunday,
Sept. Is up. - The American
freighter Pelagia, heavily loaded
with iron ore, sank last night in
a gale off this port above the
Arctic Circle.
It's crew of 81 drifted helpless
ly in lifeboatS on high seas and
torrential rain, eluding rescue
ships and planes.
Members of the crew are
mostly Americans, hired at Nor
folk.
A British trawler reported
sighting lights in the area where
the 7,238-ton freighter went
down off the rugged Morse coast.
Two hours later, the trawler
failed to report back, despite
frantic efforts by coastal radio
stations to renew contact.
Second Ship Sights Lights
The Roervik coastal radio sta
ton near Bodoe said another
trawler. the Northern Crown, also
reported seeing lights bobbing
on tn sea" at midnight. The
trawler said the lights might be
from the Pelagia's lifeboats and
it was heading for them.
Meanwhile a fleet of rescue
ships of several nations. coastal
vessels, and Norwegian naval
ships were battling bruising
waves and winds of gale strength

Ruling byGAO
FOrbids Funds
For New Span
Says D. c. Cont Use
$50 Million Until
Route Is Decided
BY GEORGE BEVERIDGE

The General Accounting Office
has told the District it can not
legally spend $8.2 million on
hand to build the Constitution
avenue bridge until Congress
takes further action on its new
route over Roosevelt Island.
This ruling apparently wipes
out the last possibility that con-
struction of the span could be
cleared before Congress returns
next year.
The Commissioners request
for the GAO ruling was. at best,
a slim chance. City officials, in
fact, already have been resigned
to the delay.
Disagree on Draw Bridge
Congress adjourned without
approving the island route, al
though it had been cleared by
both the House and Senate. In
a House-Senate conference, how
ever. there was disagreement over
whether the bridge should have
a draw span. AS a result the
entire legislation died.
In view of the agreement on
the route itself, the city heads
asked GAO if they could spend
$8.2 million which Congress al
ready has appropriated for the
bridge GAO said they could not
since the money was appropri-
lated on the basis of Congress
earlier designation of a route be-
tween Roosevelt Island and
Arlington Memorial Bridge.
Congress failure to act on the
new route also raised a POSSIBLE
ity during the summer that the
District might go ahead with
the bridge at it's originally
authorized location-away from
the island. This it could have
done without further Capitol
Hill action.
Agree on New Route
About a month ago, however,
District and Federal officials
agreed to stick with the new
route.
In addition, it was learned,
the Army Engineers. who must
issue permits for new bridges,
have told the District permit
would not be issued for the new
location until Congress formally
approves it.
Officials believe they may be
able to continue to use money
on plans for the bridge. even
though no construction money
lis spent.
The draw span problem arose
when. in the House. Representa-
tive Smith, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, insisted that the bridge

Stevenson Hits COP
On Security Program
Virginia Talk
Asks Vote Of
U.S.Workers
By J. A. O'LEARY

Adlal Stevenson made Wig
orous attack last night on the
Government employe security
program of the Eisenhower adj
ministration, calling 1t a shame
full chapter" in American history.
In a speech in nearby Fairfax
County, Virginia. the Democratic
presidential nominee made a
strong bid for the backing Of
the thousands of Government
employees who live in and around
Washington.
He criticized the Republican
handling of the merit system
and promised that the first goal
of a Democratic administration
would be to restore dignity,
honor and self-esteem to the
public service.
But his hardest blows were
aimed at the handling of the
security program. He charged
that Government workers have
been summarily suspended on the
basis Of vague charges of am
biguous offenses" and then forced
to defend themselves without be-
ing able to confront their ac-
cuSers.
Points to Investigation
He recalled that a congress
sional investigation disclosed
that 80 per cent of the persons
claimed to have been fired AS
security risks" were never de-
termined to be security risks at
all.
Finally, he said the admin
istration admitted after about
three years OF such devastating
harasSments, that not single
person was fired for being .
Communist.
Mr.. Stevenson embellished his
prepared text with an assortment
Of witticisms that drew applause
and laughter from his large
audience,
He told them, for example,
that he has not overlooked the
fact that Virginia did not give
him its electoral vote four years
ago. Then he added, But I
want you to know am quite
prepared to give you another
chance" He said there viii al
+ ways be "a light burning in the
window" for Democrats in any
Ipart Of the country who went
lastray four years ago and want
Ito return.
He drew another laugh when
he said that If there should be
any Republicans in the audience
he wanted them to know that
they also could repent their sins.
Plans to be Neighbor
He reminded the Virginians
that he has just opened his
campaign headquarters in WASH
Iington, and added, Il also have
plans to be your neighbor for
several years to come. !"
4 Mr.. Stevenson recalled that
one of his ancestors helped draw
one of the earliest maps Of
Virginia. But he said he would
not find it much help getting
around today because Of the
many new subdivisions that have
been opened.
Before launching into his main
theme on the present Govern
Iment employe security program.
Mr.. Stevenson referred to the
Maine election. declaring, There
lis a tide that is rising in the
land from California to Maine"
Recalling that the Republicans
had made support Of President
Eisenhower an issue in Maine, he
said that evidently the people
of that State were not i'm
pressed. Evidently they did not
confuse popularity with leader
ship"
Z The Democratic nominee de-
clared that Mr.. Eisenhower is the
first President in this century
u lose control of Congress mid
way in his first term. He pre-
dicted that the people are be-
ginning to perceive that "all is
not well in Washington, that the

The court set next Tuesday
as the date for hearing argu-
ments for preliminary and per-
manent injunctions against the
Public Printer. the Supterin-
tendent of Documents and the
Senate Internal Security SUBJ
committee.
Relief Denied
After holding that the re-
strainer had expired, the court
said, in denying reinstatement:
Insofar as the application for
a temporary restraining order
heretofore filed may now
be treated as an application for
further interlocutory relief, it
is hereby denied"
The restrainer had been asked
by the Methodist Federation
for Social Action. The group.
with headquarters in Gresham,
Greg, had asserted it was false
ly and slanderously listed in the
handbook, Communist Front.
Thousands of copies of the
handbook have been put in circu-
lation. The organization is
seeking to prevent further dis
tribution on grounds that it was
lnjustly listed without a hear
ing.
Held Unwarranted
District Judge Robert N Will
kin issued the restrainer last
week on the basis of the COM
plant and a supporting affidavit.
Subsequently, the restrainer
was dissolved by District Judge
F. Dickinson Let's as "unwar-
ranted' interference with the
legislative branch.

issued yesterdays order was
composed of Chief Judge Henry

planned that the restrainer was
directed only against the Public

against members of Congress.

possible any conflict between
