Doherty Wins Dismissal
Of Hatch Act Choroes

The Civil Service Commits
sion today dismissed charges
against William c. Doherty,
president Of the National AS
ISOLATION of Letter Carriers, of
violating the Hatch Act by
authorizing the use of his
name in a newspaper political
ad The ad appeared last
spring indorsing the presiden-
tial candidacy of Senator Lyn-
don Johnson.
Lawrence Meloy. the CSC's
legal officer, said that the use
of Mr.. Doherty's name in the
ad constituted no violation OF
the Hatch Act which prohibits
partisan political activities by
Government workers.
At the same time, the csc
also dropped charges for the
same reason against DR.. Walter
Baumgarten, jr., a commission
employe in st. Louis. The name
of DR.. Baumgarten, whose wife
is a first cousin of Adlai Stew
enson, had appeared in an ad
in a st. Louis newspaper in
dorsing Mr.. Stevenson for the
Democratic presidential nomi-
nation.
Mr.. Doherty's name had ap-
peared in full-page ads in
Washington newspapers in
dorsing Senator johnson for

the Democratic presidential
nomination. The letter carrier
chief is a Democrat and has
made no effort to conceal po-
litical affiliation.
On a complaint from the
Post Office Department, the
csc filed charges against Mr..
Doherty. Today's action how
ever, closes the case.
Had Mr.. Doherty been found
guilty, he would have faced a
suspension of not less than
three months or dismissal from
his job.
This, however, would have
been more or less academic,
since Mr.. Doherty has been on
leave from the Post Office for
the last 10 years, ever since
he became president of the
NALC. Technically, he is con-
sidered a postal employee on
leave and subject to the Hatch
Act.
Mr.. Doherty said he fought
the Charges because of the
principles involved. He said
Congress never intended in
enacting the Hatch Act that
individual Federal workers be
barred from expressing their
personal opinions on political
candidates.

Long-Term Need
Seen for U. S. Aid

BOSTON, Nov. 10 (AP).-
Secretary of State Herter said
last night the United States,
to preserve its freedom against
communism, must continue for
a long time to take the lead
in battling poverty and igno-
rance in the underdeveloped
nations.
1--WE must seek the allevia-
ton of want and illiteracy in
the newly emerging countries
If we are to survive as a free
people," Mr.. Herter declared.
He pictured the Soviet
Chinese bloc as increasing its
economic activities and pro-
viding aid and military as
sistance to many countries in
an effort Ito impair and reduce
Western power and influence
and to disrupt the free world
alliance system"
Mr.. Herter's remarks were
in an address to the Seth
annual meeting of the New
England Conference.

Que;sada Fails
To Get Lane 10
Run NewC|ub
Johnny Murphy
Being Considered;
Speed Necessary
BY BILL FUCHS
Star Stan Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. 18.-El-
wood (Pete) Quesada, trying
to get of to fast start with
his new Washington baseball
club. ran into his first big OBJ
stacle today when he failed in
an attempt to get Frank Lane
as his general manager.
Lane. boss of the Cleveland
Indians, had let 1t be known
that he was available if Wash
ington's terms were right. He
and Quesada dickered through
the pre-dawn hours, but late
this morning Lane announced
he would stick with the Indians.
Quesada, whose 10-man syn
dictate was awarded the new
franchise last night, thus was
dealt a setback at a time when
he must make rapid decisions.
He needs a baseball-wise gen.
eral manager Immediately, for
by midnight Sunday his new
club must select its allotment
Of % players from other Amer
imam League clubs-at a cost
of $2.l million.
Murphy Recommended
The head of the Federal Avi-
alton Agency had said earlier
that he had several men in
mind for the position. Indica-
tons were that he would nego-
tate first with Johnny Muir
ply, one-time ace Yankee re-
lief pitcher who was let out as
Red Sox farm director late this
summer.
Lane said he had recon-
mended Murphy to Quesada as
a fine front-office man. 81 think
Murphy has the executive abil-
ity and sound baseball knowl-
edge to perform a fine job for
Washington" Lane said.
Meanwhile. the league own
ers met again today to settle
the other new franchise, with
League President Joe Cronin
insisting that the 10th club
definitely will be placed in Los
Angeles.
Hank Greenberg, who had
been expected to head an OPP
Grating syndicate in Los An
geles, had bowed out earlier,
presumably because Of Com
missioner. Ford Tricks insist
ence that equitable" indem-
nifty be paid to Walter O'Mal-
ley, owner of the Los Angeles
Dodgers, for damages accrued
in his pioneering effort on the
West Coast.
Cronin was certain the
league would have no difficulty
in selecting a suitable group
for Los Angeles to round out
the league.
There were strong indica-
lions that Charles o. Finley, a
Chicago industrial insurance ex-
ecutive, might figure strongly in
the deal for the West Coast
franchise. He made a 25-min-

Bare Walls for Courts?

The marble walls of all but
one of the 10 courtrooms of

their naked austerity.
ANY doubts about this were
resolved at a meeting of the
judges of the court this week.
The matter came up after
Judge George L. Hart, jr., in
stalled a large gold-leaf and
plaster plaque on the wall be-
hind his bench.
He got the idea several
months ago while visiting a
moot courtroom at a meeting
of Federal judges at the Uni
versity of Colorado. There, on
the wall Of the courtroom, was
a handsome seal of the United
States.
Judge Hart liked it, and he

HAVANA, Nov. 10 (AP).-l
The Fidel Castro regime
charged today that United
States naval patrols in the
Caribbean were an interven-
ton in Latin American affairs,
a grave threat to world peace
and a smokescreen for an at
tack on Cuba.
Soviet news outlets used
rather similar terms in assail-
ing President Eisenhower's
action yesterday in ordering
United States warships and
planes to be ready to seek out
and prevent Communicated
attacks from abroad on Guate-
mala and Nicaragua.
Three government-controlled
Cuban newspapers carried a
story by the Soviet news agency
Tass warning of invasion plots
against Cuba being prepared in
Nicaragua and Guatemala.
A Moscow radio broadcast
recorded in London asserted
the United States Navy alert
is "fraught with the danger Of
a military conflict" The broad

statement that the move was
requested by the Guatemalan
and 'Nicaraguan governments.

America Could Be Step Toward
Attacking Cuba"
Ell Mundo's banner said
"U., s. Intervenes in Internal
Struggles in Guatemala and
Nicaragua"
The President acted on the
written request of the two gov
ernments, targets in the past
week of unsuccessful uprisings
which they charged were as
sisted by Cubans.
The action came as plots and
possible uprisings were reported
in two other countries, Bolivia
and Ell Salvador.
U. S. Ships on Patrol
The United States State De-
partment said warships, in
GLIDING at least four destroyers
and the aircraft carrier Shan
gri-La. were already patrolling
the high seas between Cuba and
the Central American coast.
The department said, however,
that any action against in
vaSion forces would be limited
to the .3-mile territorial waters
OF Guatemala and Nicaragua.

an African group led by Ghana.
The vote was on a motion
by Ghana to adjourn the de-
bate until after a U.N. con-

chance to seek a settlement
of the Congo conflict. The mo-
ton was defeated by a vote Of |

This was the second time |
that a postponement of the
Congo seating had been moved |
The Assembly voted last week
to adjourn its debate indefi-

The move was made by
Ghana's permanent delegate,

ton by its Credentials Com
mittee that Mr.. KaSavubu's |
group be given the disputed
seat.
Group Backing Lumumba
Ghana. along with some
other Asian and African coun-
tries and the Soviet bloc, is
pushing for the seating of a
rival delegation named by de-
posed Premier Patrice Lu-
mumba.
The adjournment proposal
came amid these other devel-
opments:
l.. President Fulbert Youlou of
the neighboring Congo, whose
capital is Brazzaville, called for
a conference of African heads
of government to seek a solu-
ton of the conflict in the other
Congo, whose capital is Leo
poldville.

Lumumba of deliberately using
terrorism as a weapon to aid
in an alleged plan to set up a |
dictatorship.
Mr.. Kasavubu said he had

Ito impose by force a political
formula which disregards the
aspirations of the people and
aims at eliminating all OPP

"U. N. Inertia" Hit
The Congo President asserted
that Mr.. Lumumba's "bullies"
are spreading disorder and ter
ror in Stanleyville, Lumumba
stronghold, and that his activi-
ties are made possible by the
surprising inertia Of the United
Nation forces"
Mr.. KaSavubu also criticized |
the U. N. Secretariat for cir
culating as an official document |
earlier this week a letter from
Mr.. Lumumba. He said Mr.. Lu-
mumba holds no official posi-
ton in the Congo except as
a member of parliament, and |
declared it was a violation of |
the normal U. N. practice to
circulate documents unless re-
quested to do so by a member
government.
Mr.. KaSavubu asked Secre-
tary General Dag Hammarsk-

The West was confident it
had the votes to give the Con-
COS seat to Mr.. KaSavubu de-
spite efforts of the Soviet Union
and some African and Asian
nations to block him.
Mr.. Kasavubu told reporters
yesterday that it is absolutely

country.
