Economy::
Padding

President Eisenhower made re-
ducing the Federal payroll one Of
the prime goals of his admins
tration when he took Office in
1858. In his first 20 months in
Office he made impressive progress
in lowering the number of Gov
eminent workers, due partly to
the ending of the Korean War.
In December, 1852. civilian
employees on the Government pay
roll totaled 2,56O.479. BY Septem-
Der, 1854. the figure had dropped
almost 10 per cent, to 2,317, 565.
Then it started inching upward
again. At last count, in December,
1858, it had reached 1881 1924.
Last week Chairman Cannon,
Democrat of Missouri, of the
House Appropriations Committee.
called for a renewed breakdown
on what he called payroll padding
by Government agencies.
Untold millions of dollars can
be saved by getting rid Of some
of the thousands of unnecessary
Jobs" he declared.
The solution offered by Cannon
would require that three out of
every four Federal job vacancies
be left untitled until an agency's
total manpower fell 20 per cent.
There is a good chance that Con-
greSs will adopt some such plan
this year, though it will probably
be less drastic than the Cannon
proposal.

THE FOREIGN SCENE

Der Of Deputies. The vote was 333
TO 24S. the largest majority ever
voted to any Premier under the
Republic. The Liberals, Mon
archists and Neo-F ascists supplied
the votes to give the Christian
Democrats the majority required,
and more. The Premier's party
lacks rs votes Of a majority.

cialists, Democratic Socialists and
Republicans in opposition. Mr..
Segni's government can be exc
pected to take on a strong riSht-
list hue. The Premier will have TO
tread easily. to placate his right
wing supporters, If he is to retain
their support and stay In office.
Mr. Segni, however. has pledged
firm adherence to Italy's alliance
with the West and support Of the
Common Market. He raped the
Italian Communists for their OPP
position to steps toward European
unity. charging amid howls from
the Red deputies that communism
hated and feared q free united
Europe.

Took Fifth rs Times

He evaded q subpoena for weeks
before appearing before the Ke-
fauver Crime Committee in 1851
and then took the Fifth Amend
ment some As times. He was sub
sequently indicted for alleged in
vasion of $50, 300 in income taxes.
The Governments case was
based on the large charitable
contributions made by Zwillman
as part of his calculated pattern
of responsibility. They were too
large, the Government commended,
for the size income he reported.
A jury split eight TO four for
acquittal but early this month the
FBI announced it was investi-
eating alleged jury fixing in the
case.
: Zwillman, whose business inter-
estS include a cigarette vending
company. was also having diff
culties with the Senate Racket
Committee. which planned to call
him as a witness late this spring.
He had been very depressed"
according to members of his fam
lily, since the committee headed by
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat of
Arkansas, opened its investlga-
ton into the vending machine in
duStry.
On Thursday Zwillman'S body
was found in the basement of his
$l25. 900, 20-room home in West
Orange, N. j.. where he lived with
his wife, once a prominent social
lite. The medical examiners
verdict was suicide by hanging"

ItoIy's Segni:
Confidence.

Antonio Segni. designated by
ltaly's President Gronchi to form
q new government when the From
dizi cabinet resigned, faced q
complicated political task. Italian
political parties have been having
serious internal troubles. The
largest. the Christian Democrats,
to which Mr.. Segni belongs, was
practically leaderless. The Right
Socialists under Giuseppe Saragat
were restless and divided: Pietro
Nenni's Left Socialists were split
ting away from their alliance with
the Communists. A coalition, such
as every postwar Italian Premier
has had to put together carefully
in order to keep a government in
Office, was impossible.
But Mr.. Segni went ahead with
o "monocolor," single-party mi
nority cabinet, and he succeeded.
On Friday he won a resounding
vote Of confidence from the Cham

ence on q control-and- inspection
system as q 'brazen attempt to
establish military reconnaissance
Of the Soviet Onion"
The conferees at Geneva, talk
ing fruitlessly since last October,
remain deadlocked on the issue
of policing a ban. Disclosure of
the Khrushchev remarks brought
prompt British and American
queries as to the usefulness Of
continuing talks.
Should we start packing our
bags?" asked James ]. Wadsworth,
chief American delegate, of his
Soviet counterpart. Semyon Tsa-
napkin. The Khrushchev state
ments. he said, had raised the
"gravest doubts" that the confer
ence could ever succeed. Mr.. Tsa-
napkin replied that ending the
talks was up to the West, as the
deadlock was of Western doing.
Strong opposition to cessation
Of testing under any sort Of agree
ment has been growing In the
Pentagon and the Atomic Energy
Commission. Opponents Of q ban
contend that underground testing
could be carried on without de-
lection, and Of course imply that
the Soviet Union would violate O
ban agreement in this manner.
The Soviet position all along,
backed by the Geneva findings Of
an international scientific confer
ence last summer. has been that
existing detection devices would
be adequate to prevent cheating.
While it became increasingly
apparent that neither side in the
Geneva talks was really eager for
an end to testing. reports from
Minnesota tests revealed radioac-
tivity of farm crops was in some
cases more than ll2 times the
maximum permissible concentra-
ton in foodstuffs. This level Of
radiation from previous nuclear
testing is expected to double or
triple as more fallout comes from
the shakespeare, officials warned.
ACC spokesman said the peak Of
fallout from previous tests, even
II no more are held, will not
come until 1910.

already one Of the Nations big
gest bootleggers. He headed a
syndicate that made an estimated
$50 million between 1926 and 1882.
When prohibitions end forced a
readjustment of his business in
terestS, the young executive turned
his talents to legitimate interests.
He invested in the stock market,
financed hotels, tobacco COM
pany and at least two Hollywood
films. He began filing income tax
returns.
Beneath the facade Of respec-
liability. the suave, courteous ex-
bootlegger was suspected of being
one of the biggest men. in the
network of organized crime and
tones, there is great danger to
racketeering that stretched across
the Nation.

THE NATIONAL SCENE

AFL-CIO executive council into
approving a modified version Of
his idea. Concluding its winter
meeting in San Juan, Puerto
Rico. the council authorized
demonstration in the Capital that
will include union leaders and
thousands of jobless workers.
Mr.. Reuther, whose own union.
the United Automobile Workers,
is among the hardest hit by unem-
ployment. said the demonstration
would dramatic the desperate
plight" of the nearly million
unemployed.
A labor-wide goal of a 35-hour
work week and a seven-hour day
was also approved by the council.
The AFL-CIO will press for con-
gressional action to amend the
Fair Labor Standards Act, which
makes the 40-hour week the
national standard. Its prospects
of getting any such action appear
extremely slim, however.

Donser Of Prescription

We fall into their mousetrap
when we ourselves become so OBJ
sessed or preoccupied with these
worthy accomplishments as to ig-
more all the other things they are
doing to undermine freedom. to
upset the stability Of independent
nations, and to insinuate their
philosophy into the thinking of
free men everywhere.
Let us not underestimate the
capabilities of the Soviets. Their
scientific achievements along GER
tain lines have been superior. But
let this not blind us to all the
other much less spectacular things
they are doing, the many little,
devious, conspiratorial inroads
they are making everywhere.
We have many problems before
us in facing UP to this Communist
challenge. We must not become
enchanted with the prospects of
military power in the space age
at the expense of the many other
demands upon us. The COMPETE
ton covers a far wider range of

apply the right degree Of power
with pinpoint accuracy.
Our military requirements
cover q very wide spectrum of
possible situations. But even this
is not enough. Military measures.
by themselves. are not enough.
Let us look for q moment at
what the Communists themselves
have been telling us.
We can debate at length among
ourselves on what proper mill
tary measures to take In our own
defenses. We can discuss budgets,
military posture. and the various
forms of modern warfare. We
can examine our weapons sys-
TENS, and our progress in re-
search and development.
But We can lose : the entire
stamina and integrity of our
civilization If we do not recognize
the challenge presented TO us by a
nation sworn to take US over.

Berlin, a Red Chinese move to-
ward the offshore islands would
put more strain on United States
forces in the Pacific.
American 7th Fleet units still
patrol the Formosa Strait but
the aircraft carriers. cruisers and
other fighting ships assembled
there specially last fall have re-
tired to other Pacific locations.
Officials here concede that the
Reds could force the United States
to spread its military power .ex-
ceedingly thin by opening two
front activity.
Critics of the administration,
meanwhile, are still anxious for
the State Department to reduce
the United States commitment
and Nationalist China's-in the
offshore islands. They still be-
lieve it would be folly for the
United States to risk war. per-
hapS an atomic war, over the
inconsequential offshore islands.
But the administration still
maintains that its critics focus
too much attention on the islands.
The Chinese Communists are not
interested In the islands-they are
interested in Formosa, II is said.
and retiring from the offshore
islands would only bring the day
of Peiping's push of Formosa
closer.
1t is clear. nevertheless, that
Peiping could raise the same old
agonized doubts in Europe and in
this country about starting an
atomic war over those incense
quential islands"
Secretary of State Dulles re-
Gently indicated some modest
success in persuading Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek to reduce
his military commitment on the
offshore islands, although Taipeh
officials stoutly deny they have
actually pulled any forces back.

Mr.. Dulles was asked:
"Mr. Secretary, at the height
Of the Quemoy crisis last fall,
you indicated, I think, that the
flrepower of the Chinese Ma
tionalists might be increased upon
the islands, and consequent upon
this there might be some thinning
out of their forces. Has this been
carried forward in any way since
that time?"
The Secretary answered with
one guarded sentence. presumably
to avoid drawing attention to what
might be the first phase of Chi
ang's tiptoeing away from the off,
shore islands.
"The thinking and planning of
the Republic of China is along
those lines, yes" Mr.. Dulles re-
piled.
But so far there has been no
appreciable increase in f1repower
supplied the Chinese Nationalist
forces on Quemoy or Matsu, Amer
lean officials say. Presumably
the Generalissimo will not move
any troops until the firepower
arrives.
Even then, the Berlin flareup
may provide a new reason for the
Chinese Nationalist to insist on
keeping a big force on the offshore
islands.
Red China's ability to force the
United States to war to defend its
Nationalist Chinese ally over a
relatively unirnportant offshore
islands appears likely to remain
for months II not years.
