Job Protection

BY the Associated Press

Secretary of Labor Goldberg
wants Congress to push through
legislation that would protect
job rights Of persons recalled
to service during the defense
buildup.
The Labor Department said
yesterday that under present
provisions of the Universal
Military Training Act an en-
listee loses his unemployment
rights after four years of mil
itary duty unless he is kept in
service involuntarily. The same
is true of National Guardsmen
and ReServiSts.
The Department said many
Of those who may be recalled
into service have served all or
a major part of the four years.
Additional service beyond the
four years would result in a
loss of their right to return to
their jobs.
Mr.. Goldberg'S recommenda- :
ton would permit a further

ice after August / Of this year

Experts Propose
Exploded Reuctor
Be DismuntIed
BY the Associated Press

A special advisory committee
has recommended prompt dis
mantling of the atomic reactor
that exploded and killed three
technicians last January 3 in
Idaho, the Atomic Energy Com
mission announced yesterday.
The choice lay between
prompt action and an indefinite
delay while radioactivity less
ened. The committee said it
thinks action can be taken
safely now. Plans for the work
were developed by the General
Electric Co.
Decentralization of the re-
actor building apparently will
be simpler than was thought at
first, the committee said, and
disassembly of the reactor core
will make it permanently safe.
The group added that prompt
action might yield additional
information on the cause of the
accident, and that a demon
stration Of the capability to
recover from a serious reactor
accident might help the devel-
opment program.

ureS which are showing prom
ise of being just as effective.

Mr.. Mitchell's reference to
other measures meant relief
curbing activities other than
those included in the 13-point
program adopted last month.
The Newburgh Plan, which
has attracted Nationwide at
tention, would limit relief to
any individual, except the aged,
blind or infirm, to three
months in any one year.
Another of its controversial
provisions would deny relief to
mothers of illegitimate chill
dren if they have further chill
dren out of wedlock.
Still another provision would
require that aple-bodied men

able bodied individual was
found on the welfare rolls.
Critics have termed the plan
harsh. Defenders have held

Who Arrest Two
In Shop Breuk-in

Washington police, with the
aid of a Canine Corps dog
named Bullet, early today
broke up a robbery in a North

two prisoners in connection
with the offense.
Bullet got into the case after
police had caught one man
inside the place, but had lost
a second suspect in a foot

U. S. Jury Probes
Boxers Union,
Hears Geftner
By the Associated Press

A Federal grand jury is
studying the affairs of the
Bakery and Confectionery
Workers Union, a Justice De-
partment attorney disclosed
yesterday.
Harry T. Alexander, one of
two attorneys working with the
grand jury, confirmed the ac-
ton to newSmen after indica-
tions of it appeared during a
court hearing on another mat
ter.
The grand jury is authorized
to look into possible violations
of the Federal embezzlement
statutes and other Federal laws
requiring unions to report in
formation to the Labor Depart
ment.
The bakers unions connec-
ton with the investigation was
disclosed in testimony that
David Geftner, executive Sec
retary of the union under for
mer president James G. Cross,
had spent several days testify
ing before the grand Jury.
The union was ousted from
the AFL-CIO several years ago
on charges of corrupt domina-
ton.
Officials of the faction-rid-
den union appeared before
United States District Judge
George L. Hart in a further
effort to avoid a contempt OF
court fine.
Another judge had fined the
union $25, ,000-but given it time
to clear itself of contempt
following discharge of Mr.
Geftner by a new group OF
officers. Mr.. Geftner has beer
returned to his job but today's

Immediately the city would ap-

A second step is necessary
before the decision becomes ef-
fective. This will be the is
suance of an order to the city
as a follow-up to the granting
of the injunction.
The order, specifically di-

the welfare laws of the State
