descent. became general Sec
retary in 1869, succeeding
Eugene Dennis.
Mr.. Hall was one of the IL
Communist leaders convicted
in l949 of conspiracy to teach
and advocate violent overthrow
of the Government. He failed
to show up as scheduled in 1851
to start serving his five-year
sentence. He was seized in hid
ing several months later and
given an additional three years.
The Internal Security Act,
which Attorney General Robert
F. Kennedy has promised will
be enforced. was adopted by
Congress in 1850 and is COM
monty known as the McCarTan
Act. It's registration provisions,
after lengthy lltlgatlon, were
upheld by the Supreme Court
last June.
How The Worker" may be
affected by the act was not i'm
mediately clear.
Some of the names on it's
masthead, such as Elizabeth
Gurley Flynn. are the same as
those of party leaders, but the
party never has labeled it as a
party publication.
The best Justice Department
information at the moment is
that The Worker" would not
be directly affected by the act
at least until it was proven in
court that it actually is a pub
lication of the party. 1t is

ground they will not lend their

They are faced with what
the Worker, the Communist
newspaper, calls "monstrous
penalties"-five years in prison
and a $4,000 fine for each day
of violation.
Officers Cut to Three
One of the party'S first re-
actions was to slash the num-
ber of its officers to three.
The party declines to identify
them publicly, but Claude
Lightfoot, former party Of
ficial, told the Chicago Ameri-
can they are Elizabeth Gurley
Flynn, chairman; Gus Hall,
general secretary, and Benja-
min Davis, national secretary.
A party spokesman declined
to say how many officers the
party had previously.
Mr.. Lightfoot said his posts
as national vice chairman and
Illinois chairman of the party
were among those abolished at
a meeting of the party'S ma
tional executive committee in
New York several weeks ago.
Mr.. Hall, actual leader of the
party under his title of gen.
eral secretary. and the party'S
other leaders are keeping them
selves out of prominence as
their crisis approaches.
Won't Talk to Press
A reporter visiting the head
quarters yesterday found none
of them available for inter-
views.
The exterior of the building
bears no mention of the word
Communist" A red. white and
black sign near the door reads:
The Worker, Founded 1924

The building houses not only
the national headquarters of
the party. but also its New York
State headquarters and the of :
fices of The Worker"
The Justice Department esti-
mates current Communist
Party membership in the United
States at about 10000. It's peak
was around 10000 just after
World War II when the Soviet
Union was being hailed as an
ally who had helped bring
down Adolf Hitler.
The party ran Earl Browdel
for the presidency in 1910, but
has had no candidate since.
Since then it has been on
the decline coincident with the
rise of the cold war" and in
tra-party strife over the party's
relation to the Soviet Union.

6ack in William Tells day,
Switzerland was great stork
country. Then the storks died
out, and the Swiss were un-
happy. But not long ago an
airliner, driven off course by
bad weather, had to land in
Switzerland. 1t was carrying
cargo of storks from Algeria.
Some got loose and started nest
ing. The Swiss tourist people,
who have an eye for the pictur-
esque, promptly commissioned
the airline to bring more storks.
The result was a population

colleague on the Civil Service
Committee, Representative Jo-
hansen of Michigan, in calling
for an investigation Of the Post
Office Departments actions on
Civil Service sjobs since the
new administration took office.
Mrs. st. George asserted that
the department has used politi-
cal coercion and intimidation
to fire or downgrade postal
civil service employees.
Republicans charge that
wholesale dismiSSals, forced
designations and retirements
and downgradings have been
forced on career employees by
the new postal regime. They
want the Civil Service Com
mission to investigate.
Democrats deny the charges,
declaring that the previous
Postmaster General, Arthur
Summerfield, was guilty Of
making mass prom otions
among Republicans in the de-
partment just before Post
master General Day and his
team took over. Under those
circumstances, the Democrats
say, they had no alternative
but to undo" what Mr.. Sum-

ADVICE - Mrs. Barbara

for the new administration on

First, appoint q woman as
the third member Of the Civil
Service Commission. "a fourth
Of our civil servants are women
and women have proved them
selves in so many places that
I hope a woman will be on the
commission in the years to
come"
Second. assure the continuity
Of the Government civil service
system by retaining career en-
ployeS in important jobs. Its
most important that able
people whose whole life is given
to Government be maintained
in jobs where this great coun-
try needs them" Mrs. Gunder-
son remarked.
Mrs. Gunderson made her
observations on the television
show conducted by Senator
Mundt, Republican Of South
Dakota, which is Mrs. Gunder-

Mr.. Vinson, who announced
the forthcoming investigation
during hearings on the Navy
military construction program,
said the Air Force and Navy
especially will be thoroughly
probed regarding their con-
tracting-out operations. He
implied the Army doesn't use
the practice, although Army
policys also will be probed.
Representative Kilday, Dem
ocrat Of Texas. a ranking mem
ber Of the committee, said the
Air Force has gone much far
ther in contracting -out than
the Navy. The United States
probably has reached the point
Of hazarding our defense setup
in the event Of a national
emergency, he said.
Mr.. VinSon said the in
vestigating subcommittee will
find out whether the armed
services are abandoning shops
and civilian career employees
qualified to do the work just
to award lucrative contracts
to industry.
Two other veteran Demo-
cratic members Of the commits
tee, Representatives Hardy of
Virginia and Rivers Of South
Carolina, sharply criticized
contracting.out practices.
The investigation is good
news to the many thousands
Of civilian employees in the
Defense Department who are
apprehensive about their Jobs
because Of these practices
The House Civil Service
Committee is making q similar
investigation. But since the
Armed Services Committee d.
rectly oversees the armed
forces, its recommendations
are more likely to get action
in stopping such practices and
determining how procurement
money is to be spent.
Armed Services Committee
members said they hope the
investigation will determine
once and for all the compare =
tive cost Of contracting out
and having work done by Gov
ernment employees. Most Of
the members say that from
first-hand observation over
the years they expect the study
will show that using Govern
ment employees and facilities
is cheaper for the American
taxpayer.

College Rolls
Up for 10th Yeur,
Near a Million

The number Of college stu
dents in the United States in
creased this fall for the 10th
consecutive year. The new total
is a record 1891 900.
Reporting this yesterday, the
Office of Education said the
full and part time college stu
dents enrolled for the fall term
exceeded by rs per cent the
previous high of 100000
reached in the fall of 1860.
The number of students en-
rolled for the first time in col
lege jumped by 10.4 per cent,
to 1,026,000 from 100000 a year
ago.
The increase was in part a
reflection of the higher birth
rates which were recorded dur
ing World War II and which
have continued in recent years.
The fall enrolees included
28,424,000 men and 1,467, 900
women, with the proportion of
women increasing slightly. The
percentage increase for men
was 6.8 and for women it was
9.5.
The survey dealt only with
degree-credit students but in
cluded both resident and ex-
tension degree-credit students,
full and part time, studying
either in the day or in the
evening. Nearly 1000 institu-
tons were included.
