a combination basic and major
type coverage. The basic would
cover the ordinary type illnesses
and hospital expenses, while the
major would cover so-called
catastrophe illnesses with costly
expenses.
Mr.. Campbell said the AFGE
advocates the government and
employees splitting the policy cost
of the basic-type policy on a
$3.50 basis. while the govern
ment would bear all the cost of
the major-type phase of the
health insurance program.

The AFGE council also called
on Congress to impose restric-
lions on the administration S

tivities found to be competition
with private industry.
This program is seriously
hampering defense establish

1T is our belief that there is
only one valid consideration in
deciding which functions should
be performed by private indus
try and which are best handled
through the Governments own
facilities. That is-what is best
for our country"

OMAHA, Mar. 4 (P).-Formei
President Harry Truman, ap.
Ipraising the Middle East crisis
last night declared "the present
situation is dark and full OF
peril"
"As the result of drift and
representation. it is not the
future of Israel alone, nor indie
pendence of the Arab States
that is in danger" he said.
1.-THE threat no longer involves
the Middle East only; it has
spread to the future of Europe, y
he said. THE economic strength
of the Western Nations is being
undermined. The diplomatic
unity of the Atlantic allies has
been jeojardized.
1.-THE defense of our own
country and our way of life
against the Communist menace
has been weakened"
Mr.. Truman spoke before a
capacity crowd Of 700 Of Omaha s
Beth Israel Synagogue. He was
presented with a citation which
praised him for his contributions
to Israel and the worlds under
privileged.
Israeli Ambassador Abba Eban
and former Senator Herbert

Red Probers
Urge Admitting
Aliens 10 Testify
BY the Assoeisted Press

The Senate Internal Security
Subcommittee proposed today
that congressional investigating
groups be empowered to bring
foreigners into this country to
testify.
Such a law. it said. should
authorize the admission of aliens
whose testimony is desired by in
vestigating committees. so long
as their admission does not en-
danger national security. The at
torney general would be con-
suited first.
The subcommittee made this
recommendation in the ninth in
stallment Of its annual report
1t did so after reviewing testi-
mony 1t took last year from
Communists who detected to the
West.
Testimony of Great Value
1t said witnesses from other
parts Of the world had given it
testimony "of great value in
helping us to understand the
nature and scope of Communist
activities which threaten our in
Iternal security"
One such witness, it said, was
lYuri Rastvorov, former officer
in the Soviet secret police. Rast-
vorov detected in January, 1854,
while stationed in Japan as Sec
ond secretary of the Soviet mis-
sion there.
In commenting on testimony il
took about the Hungarian up
rising last fall. the subcommittee
said that revolt reflected "a great
weakness in the Soviet structure
that has never been exploited by
the West"
Events in Hungary caused a
shattering setback to the pres
tige of Communism" the report
said. but the weakness. at least
until it is exploited or until it
causes some loss of Soviet power
remains a potential one"
Danger Called Greater
| In an interview on ABC's Press
Conference yesterday Robert
Morris, chief counsel for the SUBJ
committee. said he believes there
still are Communists in sensitive
spots in our Government.
/ There is definitely" greater
danger from Communist infiltra-
ton and subversion today than
in previous years because the
danger from the Soviet SIS much
greater than ever before" he
added.
He suggested the United States
should move TO cut down the
number of official representatives
in this country. He said they
now number about 400 and that
it has been shown the Soviet
Embassy is the headquarters OF
a spy ring.

and his mother and escorted
them to his automobile. Mr..
Champion has assured Hawkins
of a job.
Hawkins said there were "a
lot OF emotional factors" involved
in his decision to remain in
China, rather than to accept re-
patriation. He had said in ear
lier interviews that he was afraid
of Federal Government action
against him because of his ac-
tivity in his Prisoner of War
camp.
Hawkins left Peiping, China,
last Monday. His Russian wife,
Tanya, is still there trying TO
gain exit from the country TO

agency. These boards would give
promotion examinations and also
determine the fitness of employees
for promotions based on ability
seniority. etc.
Meeting here to map its 1857
legislative program, the Council
declared:
Legislation should be enacted
to provide ground rules for pro-
motions so as to remove persona,
favoritism and other forms OF
influence and to establish SOUND
promotion policies. We believe
1t is just as essential to provide
for promotions on a strictly
merit basis as it is to provide fol
original appointments on this
basis"
Sees Ability Passed Over
The council said that at pres
ent there are very few promotion
examinations given in govern
ment and, while many able en-
ployes have been given deserved
promotions. there are others who
received theirs because of per-
sonal friendships with their
bosses or political backing.
The council also strongly in
dorsed legislation to provide
Federal workers and their fami-
lies with comprehensive health
insurance coverage.

l945. last year of World War II,
when there were more than 3hy
million employees.
The October. 1856. figure of
2.410.000 Federal workers is the
highest since President Eisen-

almost 100000 lower than in
1852, the last year of the Tru-
man administration.
Federal Roll Rises
The number of Federal en-
ployes jumped from about Q mil

has remained close to that figure
ever since. During the same
period the monthly payroll has
risen about $50 million, reflect
