U. 5. Calls on U. N.
fo Name Palestine
High Commissioner
ly tfc* A»ociel*d frm
LAKE SUCCESS, May 13.—The
United States todhy asked for ap-l
pointment of a United Nations high
commissioner for Palestine in a
last-minute effort to force some
U. N. action in the Holy Land
crisis.
The surprise move came as the
U. N. Assembly desperately sought
to reach an agreement, however,
small, before the British give up;
their mandate rule over Palestine
at midnight <6 p.m., EDT) tomor
row.
The new American plan was an
nounced here by a spokesman
shortly after President Truman and|
Secretary of State Marshall con
ferred in Washington.
The spokesman said it is hoped
to push the proposal through a 12
nation Assembly group by tonight.
The scheme then would have to
clear the 58-nation Political Com
mittee and the full Assembly. There
are prospects that the Assembly or
its committees may meet late into
the night.
Efforts Diverted To Truce.
• It became apparent yesterday that
the U. N. could not reach any
agreement on an emergency regime
tp take over governmental control
from the British tomorrow. Efforts
then were diverted to less ambitious
plans to bring a truce to the Holy
Land and mediate Jewish-Arab dif
ferences.
Under uie /uneiiumi busjwuuu,
the high commissioner would have
no governmental authority. He
would attempt to mediate, arrange
for common services in the Holy
Land, provide for protection of the
holy places and promote Jewish
Arab agreement on a future Pales
tine government.
China. France, the United States,
Russia and Britain would appoint
the high commissioner, who would
report to Secretary-General Trygve
Lie and the Security Council. His
salary of approximately *15.000 plus
expenses would be paid by the U. N.j
His term of office would be indef
lnite.
The American plan also said the
U. N. Palestine Partition Commis-:
sion should be discharged of its re
sponsibility Immediately.
The Jews and Arabs offered no
Immediate comment on the new |
scheme. The Jews have said they1,
would accept a mediation plan pro- j
vided it did not interfere with es
tablishment of a Jewish state May j
15. The Arabs oppose anything that (
might indicate acceptance of par- (
tition. i 1
Part of 3-Point Plan. h
An American spokesman said the ,
new move was part of a three-point ■
| plan to be pursued for the remain
£■ mg days of the special Assembly
\ session. The program includes:
1 l.A strong Assembly reaffirmation ,
of support to the Security Council’s
consular truce commission in Pal- ,
estine and another call on all per
, sons, organizations and governments ,
to make a truce effective.
2. Intensified efforts to get agree-::
ment on a special provisional re- ,
gime for Jerusalem. This plan is ‘
still under debate in anothefcAssem- ,
bly group. ' L
3. Mediation moves with the new .
•commissioner as a key figure.
The spokesman said the United
States has no man to suggest for
the post. He added that the plan |
, had been discussed with several key ]
delegations. 1 , >.*- i

Wallace Letter Carried.
All the Moscow papers carried
lenrv Wallace's open letter to
‘rime Minister Stalin and accounts
if his address at Madison Square
iarden. New York. Tuesday night,
ncluding his six recommended
neasures for improvement of rela
ions between Russia and the
Jnited States.
The Russian people thus were
old, in the Truman-Marshall story,
hat no two-power conference on
ioviet-Amencan relations is con
emplated by the United States.
They also were told, in the Wal
ace story, that Mr. Wallace be
leves there has been an “extraor
[inary use of the veto” in the
Jnited Nations and that he termed
his "a symptom of lack of con
idence between the two countries.”
Most of the papers, and the radio,
oncentrated on Mr. Wallace's
omments about the Smith-Molotov
ixchange.
Mighty Struggle Seen.
In London the Communist news
>aper, the Daily Worker, predicted
l mighty struggle between "the war
nongers and the peace forces’* will
low ensue.
The Worker declared the British
(overnment and most of Britain's
>ress "have already placed them
selves on the side of opponents of
:he new peace moves, now that the
Soviet government has placed these
4
great issues of war or peace before
world opinion and all governments."
The Worker accused Gen. Mar
shall of stalling on the proposed
Soviet-American talks.
The Daily Express, commenting
on British reaction, said:
"Not looking too closely at the
motives, the public assumed it was
somehow a good thing that (Soviet
Foreign Minister) Molotov would
like to talk. The dismay which now
prevails is proportionate to that
first optimism."
The Express called for British
intervention, declaring: "The log
Jam is waiting for a lumber jack.”
The Times of London said, "Hope
that a conference might carefully
be arrapged has been dashed.”
Smith Statement Cited.
The Times cited Gen. Smith’s
statement to Mr. Molotov that the
door to discussions stood open, and
added:
Tne Russians could not be
blamed for talcing the keenest inter
$stin that statement nor for regard
ing it as something more than a
conventional expression of a desire
for better relations. Neither could
they have been blamed * • • if
they had quietly followed it up and
inquired what exactly the Amer
icans had in mind."
The press in many Western Eu
ropean countries expressed dismay
and pessimism over Gen. Marshall’s
statement yesterday that the
United States ha* no intention of
holding direct talks with Russia.
Change Up to Soviet.
In Washington the chance for
any real improvement in Russian
American relations appeared to
hinge on whether there will be a
basic change in Soviet foreign policy.
The hope that there may be a
change in the Soviet attitude to
ward the "cold war” and an in
creased willingness to settle out
standing problems was suggested
directly by Gen. Marshall at his
news conference yesterday.
As matters stand today it is by
no means clear whether any con
crete results will come out of the
Smith-Molotov exchange of notes
despite the world-wide excitement
created by their broadcast from
Moscow Monday night.
•Privately, American officials indi
cated that if the Russians show a
sincere interest hi trying to break
the stalemate aim arrive at settle
ments'through the United Nations
and other allied agencies, the United
States will make every effort to
help the negotiations along.
Reaction to Exchange Broadcast.
American reaction to the Smith
Molotov exchange has been given
top billing in current “Voice of
America” broadcasts.
A State Department spokesman
in New York said summaries of the
notes, as well as comment by Amer
ican officials and newspapers, were
included in the broadcasts beamed
overseas.
Statements by Gen. Marshall on
the exchange were given in full on
the program, which is broadcast in
22 languages.
Programs are beamed to Europe
18', hours a day, to Latin America
nine hours and to the Par East six
hours each day.
Part of Henry A. Wallace's speech
at Madison Square Garden Tuesday
night was broadcast.
Priest Forfeits $40
On Marriage Filing
A Catholic priest yesterday be
came the second minister to forfeit
collateral on three charges of vio-,
lating marriage report laws here.
He is the Rev. Frencis E. Ryan,
45, of 1012 Browning place N.W.,
who posted and forfeited $40 at
No. 1 precinct after a further hear
ing with Assistant Corporation
Counsel Clark F. King.
Father Ryan was charged with
falling to file one report of a mar
riage he performed, failing to file
within 10 days a report of another
and performing a third marriage at
which another minister had been
designated to officiate.
Mr. King held several other hear
ings with ministers whose names
appear on a list of 350 clergymen
supplied by United States District
Court last Monday. He has said he
will prosecute in all cases where
'reasonable" explanations for the
offenses are not given.

At This Time, Senate
Committee Reports
By Robert K. Walsh
Senators today were studying
a Committee comment that a
complete universal military
training system along with a
draft law would be ‘‘inexpedient
at tpis time.”
Recommending a limited draft
military training bill to help provide
1,669,000 new men who will be needed
by Regular and Reserve forces next
year, the Senate Armed Services
Committee disclosed that “from a
fiscal standpoint and frodi the
standpoint of practicability” it de
cided against an all-out UMT pro
gram now.
The revised manpower estimate
for the coming fiscal year was in the
committee’s detailed report on the
bill for drafting of men 19 through
25 for two years’ service and training
of 18-year-old youths for one year.
The bill provides for voluntary
enlistment of most, if not all, of the
18-year-olds who would be needed.
Southerners Plan fright.
The bill, likely to be called up for
Senate debate early next week, faces
determined opposition from some
Southern Senators on the race segre
gation issue. Senator Russell, Dem
ocrat, of Georgia late yesterday filed
an amendment to permit draftees to
request that they be assigned to
military units only of their own race.
A similar effort will be made to
amend a pending draft bill in the
House. Representative Williams,
Democrat, of Mississippi said he
would submit such an amendment
when that bill comes up. The meas
ure, reported out 10 days ago by
the House Armed Services Com
mittee, awaits clearance by the
Rules Committee.
Explaining that their version of
the draft military training program j
| is “an evolution,” the Senate:
Armed Services Committee told how
lit originally planned to produce a
! single bill for selective service and
UMT.
Although this idea gradually was
dropped, the committee stated that
selective service legislation alone
"will not meet the continuing and
future needs of our national de
fense.” The committee said it in
cluded revised provisions for in
ducting about 161,000 18-year-old
youths a year.
The 18-year-olds would still be
liable to induction, but they could
i volunteer for one year of training.
I Men in the 19-25-age bracket could
I not volunteer for their two years’
service but could do so for regular
three-year terms.
The Senate bill, as explained In
the report, would increase the reg
ular armed forces manpower ceilings
to 1,795,000 from present total of
about' 1,400,000.
903,009 New Men Needed.
To get that number of men dur
ing the coming fiscal year, the com
mittee estimates that a total of 903,
000 new men would be needed for
the services.
The Reserve forces would be in
creased from 1,006.000 to 1,520,000.
This would require 605,000 new men,
including replacements, the com
mittee said.
The bill provides that the 18
year-old youths who served one
year would have to go into tlie or
ganized Reserves for four years or
in the inactive Reserves for six
years. The 19-25 draftees, after
completing two years in the Regular
forces, would have to serve another
I two years in the organized Reserves
or be subject to call for five years ip
the inactive Reserves.
Civil Kights

Senator Russell to quarterback their
battle. He told a reporter that at
today's session the group expects
to decide whether to:
1. Let the compact bill go back
to the Judiciary Committee. The
Southerners admit that would kill
the measure for this session.
2. Or, line up against the Morse
motion and take their chances on
beating off the anti-segregation
amendment.
Senator Russell indicated he fa
vors the latter course.
"I think there are a good many
Senators who are for civil rights
who won’t follow Morse,” Senator
Russell said. "However, some of our
fellows are a little frightened about
what might happen on a showdown.
Depends on “Fairness.”
“Personally, I have too high a re
gard for the innate sense of fairness
of the Senate to believe it would
seize upon this bill for a civil rights
test. I think there still is a spirit
of decency which won’t permit
jeopardizing a bill to improve edu
cation.”
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the
acting majority leader^ predicted the
measure would be sent back to com
mittee. He said there is not enough
information on the constitutional
question raised by Senator Morse
"to allow an intelligent vote.”
The Republican leadership, with
which Senator Morse frequently
disagrees, is planning to bring up an
antl-lynch bill before the session
ends next month. There is scarcely
any chance for action by then on
the other civil rights measures.
MacArthur Decides to Let
U. N. Korea Unit Into Japan
ly th» A*ioc'ot*d Pf«i
TOKYO, May 13.—Gen. MacAr
thur changed his mind today and
decided to permit the United Na
tions Korean Commission to come
to Japan.
Two days ago he announced that
commission members could visit
Japan only as individuals—but not
as a commission—because of limited
facilities. The commission wanted
to ccme here from Seoul to prepare
its report on Monday's election in
South Korea.
"In view of the urgency attributed
to the matter, arrangements are
being made to provide the United
Nations Temporary Commission on
Korea with offices in Tokjo while
preparing its report on the Korean
elections,” said a statement from
Gen. MacArthur’s headquarters.

Burns to Fight for Re-election
At AFGE Session in September
By Joseph Young
President James B. Burns of the ATL American Federation
of Government Employes definitely will run for re-election at the
union’s convention in September, regardless of tJi'e outcome to
morrow of his executive council’s attempt to oust him from office,
This has been revealed by union associates of Mr. Bum* who

against the council. His backers
acknowledge tne
council may very
well force Mr.
Burns from of
fice over the
week end, either
b y suspending
him or by en
forcing the
r e signation
which he later
withdrew.
But they say
that in any
event, he will
take the case to
the union’s con
vention in Phil
Jmrt Tmm.
adelpnia. Mr. uurns w »**u w
confident that the union’s rank
and-file will support him in his fight
against the council.
If he Is removed from office, Mr.
Bums will face an uphill fight to
regain the presidency, since his op
position will be in direct communi
cation with the AFGE membership
from now until convention time.
This would be a great handicap to
overcome. However, Mr. Bums’ sup-,
porters intend to establish their
own facilities to keep in contact
with the membership and present
his case.
Those backing Mr. Bums charge
the council is composed of "reac
tionaries who seek to block union
progress.” This is disputed by
council members, who assert Mr.
Burns has failed as an adminis
trator and the union consequently
has suffered in loss of membership
and dwindling finances.

STILL OPEN — That 910.000-a
year information chief job at the
new Economic Co-operation Ad
ministration is still wide open.
Insiders say ECA Chief Paul
Hoffman hasn't made up his mind

the important job. Meanwhile,
many candidates are pulling strings
around town in an attempt to gain
the inside track for the position.

MORE FIRINGS—T he Civil
Service Commission has ordered
the firings by July 1 of war-service
chemists in Federal agencies here
who have not obtained permanent
status.
Involved in the order are the fol
lowing positions: Analytical chem
ists and organic chemists in grades
P-2 and P-3, and biochemists in
grade P-2.
The order is part of the-commis
sions program to convert the Gov
ernment to a permanent hiring
basis- by June 30, 1949. Additional
dismissal orders Involving jobs in
which war-service employes have
failed to get status are expected
soon.

MATERNITY LEAVE—A last
minute attempt to get action this
year on the maternity leave legis
lation failed the other day in the
Senate Civil Service Committee.
Chairman Langer of the commit
tee proposed quick committee ap
proval of the measure, which would
give 60 days’ leave with pay to ex
pectant mothers in the Federal
service. . „
But an Objection was made by
Senator Williams, Republican, of
Delaware, who asked that the bill
be revised. Senator Williams ob
jected to the idea of giving ex
pectant mothers their regular sick
and annual leaves, as well as an ad
ditional 60 days’ maternity leave.
If Senator Williams’ proposals
were adopted it would make the
measure virtually meaningless. The
committee finally decided to defer
the bill for "further consideration,
which in plain Engiishmeansits
been killed, so far as this session
of Congress is concerned.
* * * *
ALL-OUT FIGHT—Senator Flan
ders, Republican, of Vermont, co
soonsor of the Senate pay raise bill
that contains the provision to in
crease substantially the salaries of
top-flight Government officials,
plans an all-out fight to win those
pay boosts.
Commenting on our story yester
day that House leaders «PP*“ c°"
to the idea of lifting the $10,000
Federal pay ceiling and giving
these officials substantial pay boosts,
Senator Flanders declared:
“It's outrageous that Congress
should hamstring the functions of
the executive branch of our Gov
ernment by refusing to pay dqpent
salaries for top administrative jobs.
“You can’t expect to secure good
administration until you pay “J?
aries that will attract top-flight
men. The present $10-000 salary
ceilirfg is totally unrealistic when
romDared to salaries being paid for
comparable jobs in private industry.
"Congress will be blind, Indeed,
if it fails to improve the caliber of
Government administration by pay
ing decent, realistic salaries.”
Senator Flanders also reminded
his Republican colleagues that they
expect to occupy the executive
branch of the Government next
January. And if they want to get
the ablest men available to fill the
top Federal jobs, it would be well
to revise the Federal pay scale up
ward, Senator Flanders pointed out.
Senator Flanders plans to confer
with Chairman Taft of the Senate
Policy Committee and House Speak
er Martin to ask that these top
bracket pay boosts be kept in the
bill, along with the pay raises for
the Government’s rank-and-file
employes. And he feels he has a
chance to convince them of the
logic of his proposals.
* * * *
BACKING—Incidentally, the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee has
gone on record asking that Federal
salaries be raised.
In reporting out the Agriculture
Department’s 194$ appropriations
measure, the committee rejected the
House-approved rider that would
have permitted Agriculture to pay
$15,000 a year salaries to 10 top
employes.
The committee said it was in favor
of lifting the $10,000 pay ceiling
but that it believed that it should
be done for all agencjes in one gen
eral bill rather than just for a sin
gle department.
* a * *
CAPITAL ROUNDUP—The heavy
pressure of other work has post
poned the meeting of Senator Taft
and Speaker Martin on Federal pay
raise legislation. However, both
men promise that Government pay
raises will be granted by Congress
before it goes home next month,
and pi*" tomneet on the situation
f ' *
within the next week. . . . Hospital
attendant jobs in the Washington
military area have been announced
by the Civil Servioe Commission,
with hourly rates of up to 91 .Oft an

Murray has written to every member (
