MILITARY IN CIVILIAN
JOBS-Vaux Owen, president OF
the National Federation Of Fed
eral Employees, has called on
Congress to provide sufficient
earmarked funds in the Defense
Departments appropriations bill
to "curtail the widespread and
growing practice Of utilizing
military personnel in civilian
positions"
Mr.. Owen said this trend will
become increasingly aggravated
in the months ahead" unless
Congress takes specific action.
The NFFE asked Congress to
earmark specific funds for use
Of civilian personnel. He noted
that when such funds are lack
ing, the use of military personnel
in civilian positions is a method
pursued reluctantly in the De-
Tense Department"
Defense officials acknowledge
that congressional cuts In funds

Poland Loan
Move SnarIed

A State Department plan for
a 500 million loan TO Commu-
niSt-controlled Poland seemed
trapped today in congressional
snarl which apparently blocked
for at least two weeks a vote on
extension of the Agricultural
Trade Development and Assist
ance Act.
The loan and the bill to ex-
tend the 1854 farm surplus dis
posal law are not directly re-
lated. But a sudden and unex-
pected postponement of sched-
Iuled vote on the bill in the
House late yesterday caused the
State Department to abandon its
earlier intention to announce
terms of an agreement With Po-
land for the proposed loan.
Fear House Move
One of the reasons for the
suspension Of further debate on
the farm surplus disposal bill
yesterday was that its support
tiers feared the House might
adopt an amendment to be Of
tered by Representative Edna
Kelly, Democrat Of New York.
This would block any loan to the
Polish regime. Mrs. Kelly dis
putes a State Department view
that the Gomulka regime in Po-
land is not controlled by Soviet
Russia and therefore is qualified
as a friendly nation with which
"a loan agreement could be made
by this country.
When debate started yesterday
afternoon on the bill to extend
the farm surplus disposal statute,
Opposition developed not only in
connection with the indirectly
related Polish loan issue but also
on some provisions in the bill
itself.
Raises Point Of Order
Representative Rooney. Demo-
crat OF New York. raised a point
Of order that the bill contained
an appropriation provision which
had not been considered by the
Appropriations Committee.
When it appeared that Repre-
sentative Hays. Democrat Of
Arkansas, presiding officer at the
time, might sustain Mr.. Rooney's
point Of order, Agriculture Com
mittee Chairman Cooley moved
that the House postpone further
consideration of the bill. His
purpose was to obtain a day or
two Of delay.
Mr.. Cooley. however. later en-
countered difficulty in trying to
obtain a Rules Committee hear
ing. The situation then was left
up in the air and members said
the bill probably would not be
brought up again for another 10
days or two weeks.

Southwest Hit
BY New Floods
BY the Associated Press

More rain and more floods
harassed storm battered areas
of three Southwestern States to-
day and no immediate relief
from the downpours and over
flows was indicated.
Many rivers and streams in
Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas
were causing floods in wide
areas, with more sections
threatened after four days of
heavy rainfall. Biggest damage
came from the Red River, the
! ,200-mile long tributary of the
Mississippi which runs through
the three States.
The big stream carried a huge
overflow from the flood control
dam at Lake Texoma, which is
along the Texas Oklahoma
border north of Dallas.
Sections of Louisiana also
battled floods. Overfiows from
previous flooding of the Red
River covered some low areas
near Alexandria. The Red River
joins the Mississippi about $50

in the Hotel Statler, where the
group is also holding its annual
