The battling, no holds
barred chairman Of the Re-
publican National Committee
will call 1t q political career
next summer.
Representative william E.
Miller, whose slashing attacks
on the Democrats reused an
apathetic G.. o. p, will step
out as national chairman when
his current term ends In July,
1864, and he will announce
that he will not be a candi-
date for reelection to the
House Of Representatives.
The controversial New
Yorker, whose determined ef-
forts as party chief nearly
cost him his congressional seat
last fall. feels that the time
has come for him to spend
more time with his family.
Wants Time with Family
He wants to be with his two
small daughters as they grow
UP. particularly since he feels
he missed too much family life
with two older daughters, now
IS and 20 respectively.
Mr.. Miller gave the q. o. p.
a much-needed push as chief
Of the party's Congressional
Campaign Committee from
January. 1860, to mid 1861,
when he emerged as a surprise
choice to head the National
Committee.
Although he Is a New Yorker,
Mr.. Miller raised eyebrows in
the summer of 1859 by de-
claring his backing for Rich

in 1860, at a time when Gov.
Nelson A. Rockefeller was still
a strong contender.

CreWmun Dies
In Fire OFF Korea

MOJI, Japan, April az (AP)
The 6,l03-ton Americ a n
freighter Choctaw, with one OF
its matches smoldering, arrived
at this Southwestern Japanese
port from Korea today, the
Japan Maritime Safety Board
reported. A board spokesman
said one Of the Choctaw's A
crew members was burned to
death in the fire.
The ship, belonging to the
Waterman SIS. Corporation,
Mobile, Ala, caught fire shortly
before leaving Kunsan, a South
Korean port on the Yellow Sea,
Thursday morning.
The ship Immediately headed
for Pusan, at the southern tip
of Korea, because Of inadequate

in cases involving dismissal,
suspension, etc.
In the williams case, the
court had upheld this right but
denied the employe relief be-
cause he had not filed his re-
quest in sufficient time for the
appearance of the witnesses.
However, last week the court,
on the basis of new informa-
ton, reopened the case and
asked Distict Court to hold a
hearing to determine II the en-
ploye did have sufficient time
to make the request.
In any event, the Supreme
Court has reiterated its stand
that Federal workers do have
the right to confront and cross
examine witnesses. But the
Civil Service Commission thus
far has refused to issue rules to
this effect. 1t apparently wants
to wait until ordered by the
Supreme Court before taking
action.
GREATER LATITUDE -
Senator Heating, Republican of
New York, has sponsored a bill
to permit Federal employees TO
file suits over salary and an
nuity claims against the Gov
eminent of less than S 10000 in
Federal courts throughout the
country. At present, employees
can only sue in the United
States Court Of Claims here
Last year, Congress enacted
legislation to allow federal
workers to file suits TO get their
jobs back, restored to their pre-
vious grades, etc, in Federal
courts throughout the country
Previously such suits could only
be filed in Federal courts here
Senator Keating's bill would
apply this to back pay suits
as we'll.
Enactment of Senator Keat-
ing'S bill would help Fedora,
employees in the Washington
area as well. He pointed out
that the Court OF Claims cal.
endar is extremely congested
with 2,8l7 back pay cases still
pending. Spreading the suit

Last Sunday, ,ABC-TV pre-
sented part four of its five
part series on the civil rights
struggle. At the conclusion, It
will have devoted 21a hours to-
the subject. The news-TAaking
part of MICS three-hour spe-
cial last night, therefore, was
not in the total time devoted
to the subject but in the dra-
matte gesture of the all-at-
once treatment. Is three hours
too much for any one pres
entation? Some feel that way,
even about a pure entertain
ment like Cleopatra"
There was much about the
study that was admirable,
beginning with the networks

seemed repetitive and there
appeared to be a tendency to
select those developments for
treatment on which TV film
was available.
