precious Kingdom? I say, mot
much longer we are on our

in transportation and communica-

.0f $4,000 Jobs

A one per cent increase in
Federal employment-about u.s.
600 jobs-is provided for in
President Eisenhower's budget
message sent to Congress today
The Defense Department, the
Governments largest employer
would reduce its civilian jobs by
NEARLY $500 which means that
the non-defense bureaus would
increase their STATS by nearly
10000 positions.
However, the estimated lob in
crease may be kept down some
what as a result of Mr.. Eisen-
mowers statement in his budget
message that every effort will be
made to limit the size of the pro-
posed expansion.
1T is important to hold
TO a minimum any increase in
Government personnel in the
coming period" Mr.. Eisenhower
said. Il have directed the heads
of the Federal agencies to give
renewed emphasis to their efforts
IN this regard-ehorts which
have resulted in a net reduction
Of approximately 100000 in the
civilian work force during the
past four years.
Vacant positions are to be
filled by new employment only if
careful review by each agency
has demonstrated that the posi-
tons cannot be abolished or
filled by transfer. All proposals
which might produce higher
Federal payrolls in the future
will be critically examined and
evaluated."
The estimated 10000 increase
in Federal jobs would mean
about a 5000 increase in the
Washington area, where there
are now about $4,000 Govern
ment positions.
The proposed job increases
would occur in the Post Office
Department. Interior. Commerce,
Health, Education and Welfare
Departments, the General Serv-
ices Administration, the National
Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics. the United States In
formation Agency and others.

terrogation that even if the SUBJ
lect is dealt with in one resolu-
ton, there will be a series OF
amendments.
If fact. the Secretary said yes
terday he thought the admins
ltration would go along with
amendments suggested by Sena-
tor Knowland. giving Congress
the right to terminate the au-
thority by concurrent resolution
and requiring Semiannual re-
ports from the President on what
is done in the Middle East.
Byrd Studies Funds Phase
| Senator Byrd. Democrat OF
Virginia, is preparing several
amendments. spelling out how
the 5000 million of existing
foreign aid money may be spent
in the Middle East.
Senator Morse, Democrat OF
Oregon, has Sugges an
amendment requiring the Presi-
dent to report forthwith to Con-
gress if he finds it necessary to
use the armed forces in the Mid
die East. Mr.. Dulles said he die
not anticipate any objection to
that. since the President said he
would keep in hourly touch with
Congress if crisis developed.
Senator Knowland said it also
should be made clear that the
United States would not wait for
a country in the Middle East to
request military assistance
against Communist attack, if
that attack threatened to out
flank such friendly powers as
Turkey or Pakistan.
He said he was concerned over
the language in the resolution
that military support would be
given only to Middle East coun-
tries which ask for it to resist
Communist aggression.
Senator Knowland pictured a
hypothetical case in which the
present non-Communist govern
ment of Iran might fall under
Communist control and then in
vite the Soviet Union to send in
its armed forces.
Senator Knowland said such
a move would out-flank Turkey
and Pakistan, and he added, 81
would not want the impression
to go out that we would not take
action in such a case"
Cites Right to Aid Turkey
Mr.. Dulles agreed that such an
impression should not go out
and said that could be explained
in the committees report. The
Secretary explained that this
country would have a right either
under NATO or the U. N. char
ter to go to the aid of Turkey,
entirely apart from this Middle
East resolution.

There isn't much likelihood OF
such legislation becoming law
this year.
However, hearings would be
the first step in what Senator
Purtell and Federal employe
leaders feel might be the even
tual reduction in the Govern.
ment work-week. They feel that
a shorter work-week is a definite
possibility within the next few
years.
The hearings are designed to
bring a full discussion of posi-
BILE shorter work-week, its FEAST
bility as well as the problems il
would involve.
OUTSIDE TRAINING-Chair-
man Johnston of the Senate
Civil Service Committee has
sponsored a bill to authorize
outside training for Federal en-
ployes in order to advance their
Government careers. Such legis-
lation is backed by the admins
tration.
Under the bill, agencies could

Is an undated declaration of
war"
Other developments today
were:
Representative Celler, Demo-
crat of New York, said the Ell
senhower proposal is not a pro-
gram but only the beginning of
one. He said it might have a
restraining influence on rash
action by Russia, but fails to
come to grips with the problems
which make the Middle East a
critical area, such as the Arab
Israel dispute, making the Suez
Canal accessible to all nations
and the pouring of Communist
arms into the Middle East.
Substitute Proposed
Representative Multer, Demo-
crat of New York. went along
with the Presidents request for
authority to use the armed forces
but proposed a substitute reso-
luton which would require any
country receiving military or
economic aid to agree in ad-
vance not to become an agrees
sor, or let its citizens raid
neighbor states.
All three testified before the
House Foreign Affairs Commit
tee. Meanwhile, the joint hear
ings of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tio1R and Armed Services Com
mittees were in recess for one
week.
Senator Russell, Democrat of
Georgia, believes that as of to-
day the Senate committees would
vote to separate the military
and economic aid features of the
plan.
But it may be three weeks
before the committees vote and
Senator Russell conceded that
the Senators may change their
minds when all the testimony is
in and proceed with a single
package resolution. Secretary of
State Dulles, who has been ques-
toned for two days, emphasized
the resolution would fail of it's
purpose if it does not take &C
count of the economic difficulties
that confront the Middle East
as a result of events of the last
few months.
House May Act First
Indications are the House COM
mittee will be the first to act,
soon after the Inauguration. In
formed sources believe it will be
mid-February before the issue
reaches the Senate floor.
Although not committing him
self in favor of separation, Sem
ate Republican Leader Knowland
said yesterday he would have
preferred a resolution similar to
the Formosa Declaration of 1855,
confined to authority to use
armed forces in defense of the
Middle East.
