Dulles Sees
Our Ships
Using Gulf
By EARL H. vOSS

Secretary Of State Dulles said
today that United States support
for United Nations sanctions
against Israel will be discussed
with congressional leaders when
they meet President Eisenhower
at the White House tomorrow
morning.
Mr.. Dulles gave no clue on
what the recommendation of
the administration would be. He
said he is still hopeful that
Israel would decide to withdraw
her troops from Egypt without
further pressure.
AS further reinsurance to
Israel, the Secretary said he ex-
poets United States ships will be
sent through the Gulf of Aqaba
without being stopped by Egyp-
tian shore batteries. The move
would be made to support
Israel's right of free passage
through the gulf to the Israeli
port of Elath. blockaded by
Egypt for several years.
Expects No Shooting
Asked at his news conference
if American ships would shoot
they way through" the Strait
of Tran, at the mouth of the
Aqaba Gulf. Mr.. Dulles observed
this is contingency he does
not anticipate.
He said he did not want to
forecast American action if at
tempts were made to stop the
vessels.
/ Israel has refused to give up
enclaves at the entrance to the
Gulf Of AQaba and along the
GAIA Strip until she receives
guarantees that Egypt will not
use the areas to haraSs her.
Mr.. Dulles believes that send
ing an American ship into the
Aqaba Gulf. either on its own
behalf or in concert with other
lpowers. might impress On that
body Of water a character Of
I benefit to all maritime states.
Wary on Sanctions
Most of the Secretary press
conference today was taken UP
with Middle East questions and
/ problems surrounding Israel's
withdrawal behind the 1949
armistice line.
On several occasions Mr..
4 Dulles refused to be specific
about what sanctions. If any.
against Israel the administration
4 would support. He said sanctions
would be discussed in an opens
minded way with the congress
sional leaders tomorrow.
He noted, however. that the
word sanction has a wide variety
of meanings which could imply
moral, economic or military ac-
ton against Israel.

Secretary replied when asked

Egypt Baking
AT Canal Use
Bid to Fix Blame
On Israel Seen
BY EARL II. VOSS

The State Department now
has information from Cairo
that Egypt will not open the
SueZ canal to world shipping
until Israel moves its troops be-
hind the l949 armistice line.
Egypt thus hopes to put Israel
into the position of prolonging
Western Europe's oil shortage and
the Afro-Asian economic pinch
both caused by the closing OF
the canal during last Novem-
ber's hostilities between Egypt
and invaders from Britain
France and Israel.
The United States, through
Ambassador Raymond Hare, has
made it clear to the Egyptian
Government that this country
does not consider the Suez Canal
opening and ISrael's withdrawal
should be linked.
Key Bargaining Point
On the other hand. State De-
partment officials do not believe
that President Nasser will throw
away the bargaining power the
Suez Canal gives him with worlc
leaders on whom he must depend

Peninsula and the GAIA Strip.

By JAMES G. DEANE

The District Commissioners to-
day ordered a study of a pro-
posal by Chairman Philip Young
of the Civil Service Commission
that the District set up its own
separate civil service system.
Mr., Young. in letter to Com
missioner Robert E. Mclaughlin,
urged that some 10000 District
employees be severed from the
Federal civil service.
I'VE believe the personnel
needs of the District can be bet
ter met by a separate, legally
recognized personnel system
which takes into account those
problems of a very large NUM-
cipality." Mr.. Young wrote.
The civil service head urged
that the District seek legislation
on the subject without waiting
for possible passage of any home
rule bill in this session OF Con-
Igress.
Mclaughlin Qualities Agreement
Mr.. Mclaughlin, in agreeing
to order a study of the question
declared that he was anxious to
avoid indicating any lack OF
faith in the ability of a home
rule bin to pass this session"
He also asserted that If the
city should sever its employe:
from their present close tie tc
Federal pay scales, the city might
eventually lose its better people
to the Federal Government.
At the same time, he noted
that the present close relation
ship with the Federal system ha,
its disadvantages for the city.

Government does not take am

specify the problems.

Graft Employees
In GPO Denied
Cut in Hours
Public Printer Cites
csc Opposition
Pending Survey
BY JOSEPH YOUNG

The Public Printer today de-
MED the request of Government
Printing Office craft employees
for a shorter work week, citing
the Civil Service Commission s
opposition to such a move at
this time.
Public Printer Raymond Blat-
tenberger disclosed a letter from
the csc in which the commits
sion said it was making a Gov
ernment-wide survey of the fea-
sibility of a shorter Federal work
week. The csc said that until
the results of that study are
completed, no individual agency
on its own should seek to cut the
work week below the present 40
hours.
Government employee union
leaders have closely watched the
Public Printers negotiations
with GPO craft employees, feel
ing that a shorter work week in
the GPO would give impetus to
legislation in Congress to
shorten the work week of the
rest of the Federal service.

with the concurrence of the
Joint Congressional Committee
on Printing. A shorter work
week for the rest of the Gov
ernment's workers would require
legislation by Congress.
Mr.. Blattenberger acknowl-
edged that the Civil Service
Commission did not have juris-
diction in the hours of GPO per
diem workers. But he said he
sought the commissions views
to determine the administra-
TONS general policy on the
Government work week. 0PO
craft employee groups had asked
for a IS or 37la hour work week.

The CSC's statement declared:
