Hennings Sets
Gag Inquiry
~ the Associated Press

Senator Hennings, Democrat
Of Missouri, set out yesterday to
find out whether any Federal
agencies have issued gag
orders" forbidding employees to
complain to their Congressman.
The inquiry was prompted by
q now-rescinded directive pro-
hibiting foreign-aid program
workers In Indonesia from critic
cizing operations there. Senator
Hennings demanded to know
why 1t was issued in the FIRST
place.
The Senator. chairman Of q
Constitutional Rights subcom-
mittee. called that order Of the
international Cooperation Adj
ministration an outrageous at
tempt to keep information from
Congress about q foreign-aid
program for which Congress
has been asked to appropriate
billions Of dollars.
But he said his investigation
would be broad enough to cover
this ground: Whether any
Federal departments or agencies
in any way attempt to interfere
with communications between
their employees and members Of
Congress.
The ICA order, directed to
employees and their families in
Indonesia, was issued May IS.
Senator Hennings said it in
effect forbade them from writ
ing their Congressman to COM
plain about the foreign aid
program "and threatened them
with possible dismissal from
their jobs If they violated the
order"
James w. Riddleberger, ICA
director, rescinded the order
when 1t was brought to his
attention by Senator Hennings.
Senator Neuberger. Democrat
of Oregon, and others.
Senator Hennings said he
has directed his subcommittee
staff to make an immediate
Government-wide investigation
to determine If the order was
an isolated incident or repre-
sents a general practice or pol
icy followed by ICA or any
other agency or department"

Lond Bill Vetoed
By President
By a star stan writer

GETTYSBURG, Pa, Aug. II
President Eisenhower today
vetoed as "shortsighted" a bill
that would double the maxi
mum allowable holding Of oil
and gas leases or options or
public lands in Alaska.
In a veto message to the
House, the President said:
Rather than providing an
inducement to the development
Of oil and gas resources in
Alaska, the bill would tend 70
produce an excessive concen-
tration Of control over such
potential resources, and there
is no assurance provided by the
bill that the interests so held
would at any time be developed.
1.-THE need is for further prog
resS under existing programs,
not just speculative or control
holding Of excessive acreage,
If the development Of oil and
gas resources on public lands
is to occur and the interests Of
Alaska and the Nation are to
be served"

TRAVEL ALLOWANCE BILL
- Chairman Dawson Of the
House Government Operations
Committee. which approved the
bill increasing Government en-
ploye travel allowances, will try
to bring the bill UP in the
House under suspension Of the

This would remove the me-
cessity Of getting the matter
cleared by the House Rules
Committee. saving from one
to two weeks time. The time
element is vitality important,
with Congress heading for ad-
journment around Labor Day.
And the Senate has yet to act
on the bill.

Mr.. Jones points out that in
10 years the majority Of top
Government
career officials In Government
will have retired. The Govern
ment therefore is faced with q
serious problem Of training
second and third-line employees
to replace them.
Mr.. Jones plans to confer
soon with Rocco Siciliano.
special assistant to President
Eisenhower on personnel, on
plans for intensifying and
broadening the present execu-
tive training programs in Gov
eminent.
One Of the first things to be
done probably win be an ex-
tensive inventory Of career
executives. in Government. their
duties. etc.. so that the Govern
ment can get q clear picture
Of the talent on hand.
The inventory will also seek
to determine the number OF
second and third-line career
people now in Government,
their backgrounds. ETC.. so that
programs can be set UP to
train them to replace the tor
career people as they leave the
Federal service.
Most Of the subordinate
careerists are relatively young
and could be expected to re-
main in the Government for
many years.
Mr.. Jones and other person
mel officials feel that it Is be-
coming more difficult to recruit
executive-type personnel from
the outside and that the Gov
eminent is going to have to
train and develop its own
talent.
During the depression and
the war years the Government
had little dificulty in attract
ing top-fiight talent. But times
have changed and the lure Of
higher-paid industry jobs has
caused many a promising can
didate to turn his back on q
Federal career. The Govern
ment still is attracting good

Social Security News

Disability insurance benefits un-
der the Social Security Act are
payable to persons who were in
work under that program for five
years out of the ten years immed-
lately preceding the onset of dis
ability. This information was re-
leased today by Edward F. Sulli-
van, manager, of the Dover, Della
ware Social Security Office. These
benefits are payable at age so to
individuals who are unable to en-
gage in further substantial gainful
activity. The condition, either men
tai or physical, must be one which
is expected to be of long continued
or indefinite duration.
Disabled people whose social Sc
curity disability payments were re-
duced or not paid at all because
they received disability payments
from other Federal programs or
State WOrkmen's Compensation
can now receive full payments un-
der Social Security.
Many disabled people throughout
the country have not applied for
these benefits because of the off
set mentioned above. These full
payments under social security can
now be made as far back as Au-
gust 1858, if an application is filed
before September 1859.
Every person who has collected
or is collecting a periodic benefit
because of injury or illness other
than the social security disability
benefit, and who has at least five
years of employment. or self-em-
ployment under social security,
should contact his nearest social
security Office for full information
and assistance. These benefits are
not paid automatically. An appli-
cation must be filed.
