MOSCOW, Dec, 10. - Prof.

The former st, Louis Univer-

A few minutes later his wife

husband is now busy" and sug-
eested the correspondents return
later.
She confirmed the accuracy
of Soviet news reports yesterday
that they had surrendered their
American citizenship through
letter to the United States En-
bassy in Stockholm.
Asked how many years Prof.
Makar had lived in the United
States. she said. You had bet

(St. Louis records show Prof.
Makar entered the United
States in 1949 and that his work
there included employment in
1852 at the Holloman Air Force
Base. Alamogordo, N. Mex. Both
he and his wife later became
naturalized citizens al st. Louis.)
Both looked as if they were of
Middle European origin.
Though Prof. Makar appeared
reluctant to talk with Western
ers. he seemed to have given an
interview freely to Soviet news
men.

This would be slightly under
the number last year. which fell
far short of the 230 and 274 for
the two preceding years.
Lawrence v. Meloy. acting
general counsel for the csc,
who has been associated with
the anti-political activitie S

1889, believes the country's eco
nomic condition and the strong
prosecution of the act is re-
sponSible for the drop of.
Under the law, employees of
both the Federal and State gov
ernmentS are liable to prosecu-
ton for participating in parti-
san politics.
Federal workers can be dis
missed from their jobs or sus-
pended for not less than 80
days. State workers in agencies
partially supported by Federal
funds can be suspended for 10
months or have the State penal
lied by the Federal Government.
Only six State cases have been
received thus far this year.

CHANGES ASKED-The Civil
Service Commission will ask for
two Slight changes in the law,
which many have said should
be abolished or completely re-
vised.
Mr.. Meloy said they will ask
Congress to knock out the mini
mum 90-day suspension, giving
the commission discretion to set
as low a penalty as it thinks
necessary. And Congress will be
asked to have the decisions
made by a majority vote of the
three-member commission, rath-
Ell than by the present unani-
nous vote.
In addition, it will be, asked
to let the commission decide on
the penalty for State employees
rather than keeping the present
mandatory l8-month suspension.
Nearly all of the present COM
plants are small" ones, accord

a 90-day suspension for many
of them is too tough"

U. 5. Ship
.ToStart SeaIift

REME RHAVEN, Germany
Dec. 10 (R.-The United States
Transport Gen. Leroy Eltinge
took aboard 1,750 Hmgarians to-
day to start a refugee Sealift to
the United States. But a dense
fog closed in after the gangplank
was lifted and delayed the de-
lparture.
The transport is to carry the
refugees from this North Sea
port to Bayonne, N. j.
Looking frightened on leaving
trains from Vienna, the refugees
had been converted into laugh
ing, singing tourists. 1t was
largely the work of a score of
American Red Cross workers
that brought about the trans
formation.
William Mason, Red Cross
representative in Bremerhaven,
spotted a badly out-of tune
piano aboard ship and had it
tuned. Immediately afterward,
refugee Tony Radnoti plunked
down at the piano and took of.
Hundreds of Hungarian youths
damned around him and sang at
the top of their lungs.
1t was the third major move
ment of Hungarian refugees
bound for the United States.
United States military transports

the year. Nearly 10000 others
Iare being flown by United States
military planes from Munich.
The rest of 81. 500 being admitted
to the United States are going
by commercial airliners.
The first trainload of $50 refu-
Igees arrived at dockside in this
North Sea port city before dawn.
United States Army musicians
greeted them with 20 Come All
Ye Faithful" A second train
carried 900.
In the dining rooms aboard
ship, elaborate breakfasts were
served. 1t was an experience
that brought tears to many Hun
Igarian eyes. The menu included
such as fresh orange Juice, as
many eggs as they wanted, bacon,
cereal. jam, sweet rolls and coffee
and milk.

Another law was also violated in

Mckay tried to wave aside these
charges by saying former wildlife

committee which gave advice on the
new regulations. Gabrielson replied
that he is against leasing the refugees

with the laws passed by Congress.

Step-By- Step Story of Lutest >Civeuway'

Of all the "giveaways" under the
present Administration, it would be
hard to find any more shocking than
the one revealed recently by Senator
Wayne Morse (D-Ore.), Congressman
Lee Metcalf (D-Mont.) and the Wild
life Management Institute, an organi-
cation which works to protect large
and valuable part of the American
peoples property.
That includes the 264 national
wildlife refugees which-lile the ma
tional forests-were set aside by
Congress to preserve some of the
peoples natural resource and recre-
ational heritage, safe from blind
and greedy private plunderers.
These refugees, scattered over the
country, contains total of II A million
acres-more than all the land in such
a large state as West Virginia. If the
Administration told a few oil COM
panies to move in and do as they
wished with all West Virginia's land,
the country would be dumbfounded
But that's what the Administration is
charged with doing to the still larger
amount of land in the refugees set
aside for the benefit and enjoyment
of the people.
The story is particularly enlighten-
ing because it so we'll illustrates the
devious methods and deliberate be-
hind-t he-scenes maneuvering now be-

Up until then, no oil company nor
anyone else could raid the refugees.
Lewis promptly started writing new
regulations opening up the refugees to
such raids, which would inevitably in
jure or destroy the refugees for the
purposes for which they had been set
aside.
Before Lewis finished that job, he
was replaced by still more thorough

D'Ewart signed the new regulations
opening up the wildlife refugees to oil
companies. In fact, he started the
giveaways even before his signature
was on the dotted line, according to
charges made recently by the Wildlife
Institute.
1t says that, the day before the
regulations went into effect, the first
'lease" was granted to the Frank

Frankfort got an oil lease in Louisi-

other oil companies, though such

The people of the basin say that
the present SHOWS are a welcome
sight, not only for filling up lakes
and sloughs, but also to fill up the
reservoirs of the Missouri River.
In answer to the charges by Han

division engineer, issued a statement
declaring "there had been no actual
waste of water that could have been
used for hydro production and there
would be none in the future"
General Potter stated, "All urgent
requirements for delivery of hydro
power from the Missouri River power
plants now in operation were sup
piled this year. Some curtailment of
power below the level that would
have been generated with normal
water supply, quite naturally, was
necessary.
'The facts are that we have had
two successive years of extremely low
water yield in the Missouri Basin,"
Potter said, "and it came at the most
critical point of filling operations OF
three new main stem ervoirs-Gar-
rison in North Dakota and Fort Ran

Potter stated that. the navigation
