RUSSIA READY TO JOIN IN ATOMIC TALKS
Soviet Note Insists, However,
Eisenhower Plan Is Inadequate
Ban on A and H
Bombs Lacking,
Moscow Says
By th« Associated Press
MOSCOW, Dec. 21.—The So
viet government declared tonight
it is ready and willing to join in
“confidential or diplomatic
talks” with other powers to dis
cuss the harnessing of atomic
energy
The statement was made
note to the United States Gove**,
ment delivered tonight to United
States Ambassador Charles E.
Bohlen. It was in response
to President Eisenhower’s De
cember 8 speech before the
United Nations in which he pro
posed a world atomic pool for
peaceful purposes.
The Kremlin note said:
“As to Gen. Eisenhower’s
statement on the confidential or
diplomatic talks concerning his
proposal, the Soviet government,
following consistently its peace
loving policy, expresses its read
iness to take part in such nego
tiations.”
The 3,000-ward Soviet decla
ration criticized the Eisenhower
plan as insufficient, however,
stating that it does not provide
a real ban on atomic and hydro
gen weapons.
Reaction Is Confused.
(Early Washington reaction
to the Russian move was con
fused. The first general word
of the development came in
news dispatches from Moscow.
Murray Snyder, assistant pres
idential press secretary, went
immediately to President
Eisenhower’s office to give him
the news.
(Secretary of State Dulles
was with the President at the
time, Mr. Snyder told news
men. He indicated he found
both officials already were
aware of the development.
(State Department spokes
men, meanwhile, appeared un
aware of the contents of the
Russian note. They said, how
ever, that Mr. Dulles would
make a statement on the mat
ter later in the day.)
Hope to Lessen Fears.
The Soviet note expressed
hope that atomic conferences
will reach an agreement to les
sen the fears of an anxious
world. It added:
"The Soviet government con
siders that during the course of
these conversations there should
be examined the following pro
posals of the Soveiet- govern
ment:
“The states participating in
the agreement, motivated by the
desire to reduce international
tension, should take upon them
selves the solemn and uncondi
tional obligation not to use the
atomic hydrogen weapons of
mass destruction.
“The signing of an interna
tional agreement on this ques
tion could be an important step
on the path of the complete ban
ning of atomic, hydrogen and
other weapons of mass destruc
tion with the establishment of
strict international control to
insure the fulfilment of the
agreement banning the use of
atomic energy for war purposes.”
Copies of Note in Russian.
Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov
first handed the Soviet note to
Ambassador Bohlen, thei\ called
in foreign correspondents and
handed them copies of the text
in Russian. Mr. Bohlen’s text
also was in Russian and it had
to be translated here before
transmission.
The Moscow statement as
serted the Soviet Union “has!
conducted a consistent struggle ;
for the prohibition of atomic
weapons and in addition has
worked for reduction of all other
forms of weapons.”
It added that President Eisen
hower in his speech also had
pleaded for reducing interna
tional tension and stated:
“This also corresponds to the
feelings of the Soviet govern
ment which is continually try
ing to reduce world tension and
improve international relations."

U. S. Agencies Allowed to Get
Own Advisers on Patronage
Opening Up of More Policy-Making Jobs
For Administration is Main Purpose
By Joseph Young
A new move to obtain more
policy-making jobs for the Ei
senhower administration was
disclosed by Republican officials
today.
Department and agency heads
are being given the authority
to hire their own people to han
dle political patronage problems
in their bureaus.
The main purpose is to open
up more key jobs for the Eisen
hower administration. The per
sonnel patronage posts will be
filled by persons sympathetic to
the administration and will come
largely from industry.
It was stressed that these
personnel advisers would not re
place the regular personnel di
rectors in the various agencies,
but would serve primarily in
handling patronage and other
personnel policy matters for the
heads of agencies.
The regular personnel direc
tors will continue their duties of
Democrats to Check j
Quitting Postmasters
For Pressure Signs
Several Senators Report i
Complaints G. O. P. Has
Harassed Incumbents
By th« Associated Press
Senator Monroney, Democrat,
of Oklahoma said today some
Democrats in Congress have
served notice they will demand
a close check of all postmaster
nominations next year to see if
vacancies resulted from “undue
pressure” on Democratic incum
bents.
The Oklahoman is a member
of the Senate Post Office Com
mittee which passes on all post
master nominations before they
go to the Senate floor for con
firmation.
Senator Carlson, Republican,
of Kansas, chairman of the com
mittee, said he did not under
stand any formal notice had
been served on his group by its
Democratic*, members although
they had mentioned the matter
Senator Carlson added that he ■
would be glad to make any in- j
vestigation desired by Democrats j
of the way in which vacancies j
i occurred iff postmasterships for j
| which Republican nominees will i
be sent to the Senate by Presi
dent Eisenhower.
Several- Receive Complaints.
Several Democratic Senators
have reported receiving com
plaints that the new • adminis
tration has tried to harass and
scare Democrats into quitting as
postmasters. Senator Monroney
said reports of such instances j
have come to him from his own ■
State.
Postmasters are under civil
service and have lifetime status. !
Applicants take tests and the I
presidential choice must be made I
from the top three. However, in j
practice, the party in power na- ;
tionally has managed to fill the i
jobs in nearly all cases with its i>
own members. i
The Republicans now have a j
backlog of about 2,350 first, sec- I
ond and third-class postmaster- !
ships to fill.
Got Only 75 Posts.
The new administration got
only 75 new postmasters to the I
Senate in the 1553 session. It
found the civil service registers
for vacant posts filled with Dem
ocrats when it took office, and so
ordered new examinations.
The Oklahoman said he had
received reports that as many
as three quick inspections of one
postoffice were made recently in
an attempt to find something
wrong so the postmaster could be
pressured into quitting.
Gifts to District Employes
May End Up in Trash Baskets
A number of Christmas gifts:
to District employes probably
will wind up in the trash basket
this year.
A recent Commissioner’s order'
: prohibits District employes from
receiving gifts from business
firms during the Christmas sea- j
son. Despite the order, a good
supply of calendars, diaries and
ash trays arrived as usual this
season, from business firms and
for District employes.
The employes began sending I
the gifts back to business firms,
inclosing their thanks and point- !
ing out the order, regretfully. j

supervising the day-to-day per
sonnel operations of the bu
reaus, the officials said.
It will be up to each depart
ment and agency head to de
termine if he wants special per
sonnel aide on patronage prob
lems.
Jeveral agencies such as the
t Office and State Depart
ments and the Foreign Opera
tions Administration have al
ready appointed such advisers.
Republican officials said the
idea was nothing new, since sim
ilar positions had been filled in
the Roosevelt and Truman ad
ministrations.
“This is no move to circum
vent civil service,” one official
said. “It merely gives agency
officials the right—that they had
in previous administrations—to
have their own' people advising
them on the job problems in
their agency and to be advised at
all times on those positions which
can be filled outside of the com
petitive civil service.”

The prison, world’s largest
walled penitentiary, is at Jack

Eight Recaptured.
Eight other inmates who par
ticipated in the break were re
captured. Two women hostages
were freed unharmed after being
held Ufa' hours by one fleeing
group of "gentlemanly” convicts.
Police were particularly anx

9th French Vote
Still Unable to
Pick President
Another From Party
Os Premier Laniel
Enters Contest \
By the Associated Press
VERSAILLES, Fiance, Dec. 21.
—Che French Parliament failed
again today to elect a president
of the Republic. It was the ninth
ballot taken since last Thursday.
Premier Joseph Laniel, a
wealthy industrialist and the top
contender, got 413 votes—a drop
of 17 votes from the eighth
ballot.
His Socialist opponent, Marcel-
Edmond Naegelen, who has
Communist support, got 365—a
drop of 16 votes. Pierre Montel,
who emerged as a last minute
candidate, received 103 votes.
Mr. Montel, 57, is a member of
Mr. Laniel’s Independent Party
from Lyon.
Mr. Laniel was only 22 votes
short of victory on the eighth
ballot in the People’s Assembly
Hall of the old palace of French
kings, where the National As
sembly Deputies and Senators
have been trying to name a new
President.
Laniel 42 Votes Short.
The number needed to elect
on the ninth ballot—a majority
of the votes cast—was 455. Thus
Mr. Laniel, who has led almost
ail the way. was 42 votes short
today.
The legislators decided to
begin the 10th ballot tonight.
Each one takes about three or
four hours.
No other French presidential
election had ever required more
than two ballots. The protract
ed voting this time resulted
from a sharp split, nearly down
the political middle, in the par
liament. The split promised end
less future troubles in the Na
tional Assembly at a time of
crisis on crisis.
Parliamentary leaders grew
increasingly shocked at the bit
ter nature of the showdown
battle.
Mr. Laniel’s support came al
most entirely from the con
servative ranks landholders,
wealthy industrialists and right
ist Catholics.
Behind Mr. Naegelen was an
almost solid phalanx of Socialists
and Communists, representing
nearly all of France’s working
population.
Compromise Sought.
Dangling unhappily between
were slightly more than 100
members whose votes could
swing in either direction to name
the President.
Throughout last night, the
unhappy hundred plus a con
siderable number of the two
opposition groups sought a
compromise candidate who could
soften the sharp left-right divi
sion. By this morning, how
ever. no such acceptable man
had been found.
Observers figured the grave
cleavage would be carried over
into the National Assembly,
which in the next months must
send a delegation to the Big
Four conference in Berlin, agree
on a new government after the
president takes office on January
17, ratify or reject the bitterly
controversial European army i
treaty, rework France’s economy
and perhaps revise the constitu
tion.
Winter Starts Tonight;
Some Rain Is Probable
Winter will arrive officially at
10:32 o’clock tonight.
It will be accompanied, the
Weather Bureau feels, by some
rain. And followed, the Weather
Bureau adds, with clouds and
winds tomorrow.
The shortest day of the year
was yesterday, according to
Weather Bureau charts and ta
bles. Daylight lasted 565 min
utes. Today Washington is ex
pected to have about a half
minute more.
Last night’s low was 35. To
night will be slightly warmer,
with a low of 38 expected.
The Bureau said it was too
early to say anything about the
weather for Christmas.
There was a “chance” for a
white Christmas in Baltimore.
Air with temperatures cold
enough to produce snow should
be moving into Maryland by late
tomorrow.

Last-Minute Broadcast Plea
Will Be Made to 22 POWs
Chances for Interviews All But Vanish;
Gen. Hull Doubts Any Will Return
By tha Associated Frau
PANMUNJOM, Dec- 21.—The
United Nations Command today
prepared a last-minute broad
cast appeal to 22 American war
prisoners who stayed with the
Communists, even as the Allied
Far East commander indicated
hope has been abandoned that
any of the 22 will return home.

tion Commission announced it

had approved an allied request
to broadcast to the prisoners
Wednesday—hours before the
deadline for explanations to
balky war prisoners.
The allies staked their hopes
of winning back prisoners on the
broadcast and a 12-page letter
addressed to each man as
chances for face-to-face inter
views all but vanished in a wel
ter of last minute delays.
The Communisst resumed their
long-delayed explanation pro
gram today and chalked up their
best score to date.
Reds Seek Extension.
Red members of the Military
Armistice Commission pressed
again for an extension of the
time for interviews beyond De
cember 23 during a 2 Vi-hour
meeting this afternoon. But the
U. N. Command promptly re
jected the request.
Gen. John E. Hull, United
States Far East commander, told
newsmen in Seoul that Ameri
cans in neutral custody have had
both time and opportunity to
change their minds. He indi
cated the allies have given up
hope that any will return home.
The broadcast and the letter
appeared to be the allies’ only
chance of contacting the prison
ers before the Wednesday mid
night deadline.

ruled that the POWs must agree
to accept the letter from an Al

While prospects dimmed for
the Allied campaign to change
the minds of balky war prison
■ ers, the Reds won back 33 of 250
Chinese captives as interviews
were resumed after a 34-day
stalemate.
This not only was the greatest
number of prisoners the Com
munists have won back in a sin
gle day, but was almost triple
their best previous record per
centagewise.
Gen. Hull told newsmen in
Seoul he is interested only in
! being certain that the American
: prisoners have freedom to choose
I their future.
“The thing that we .have
stood for always has been free
dom of choice,” he said.
Planning to Handle 22,500.
Gen. Hull added that he flew
to Korea from his Tokyo head
quarters primarily to discuss
plans tor handling about 22,500
anti-Communist Chinese -and
Koreans scheduled for release
i from Indian custody January

The Communists have insisted
that the prisoners be kept in
j neutral custody until a peace
I conference decides their fate, but
I Gen. Hull said they will be eligi
ble for freedom “one minute aft

The Far East commander said
he hopes to transfer the Korean
prisoners to South Korea as

ILA Chief Sees Lewis,
HintsUnionAffiliation
With Mine Workers
Says He Would Favor
Action if Group Wins
Bargaining Election
By Allen Drury
Capt. William Bradley, presi
dent of the International Long
shoremen’s Association, said
after a meeting with John L.
Lewis today that if his union
wins the forthcoming collective
bargaining election on the New
York waterfront he would favor
its affiliation with District 50 of
the United Mine Workers.
He did not say so directly, but
it appeared from the attitude of
UMW officials that the power
ful miners’ organization has in
vited the ILA to join.
Capt. Bradley’s conference
with the UMW president came
on the eve of a National Labor
Relations Board election to de
cide whether the ILA or a new
longshoremen’s union organized
by the American Federation will
represent dock workers in East
Coast posts. Capt. Bradley said
Mr. Lewis is “very much” in sup
port of ILA and predicted it
would win “10 to 1.”
Committee Makes Decision.
Capt. Bradley said the final
decision on affiliating with the
UMW will be made by a standby
district committee of the ILA
which is meeting in continuous
session at union headquarters in
New York. He said the com
mittee has discussed the possi
bility of affiliating with the AFL,
the CIO and the UMW. Asked
if the UMW led the field, he re
plied:
“If I had my choice, that’s the
way it would be, yes.”
Capt. Bradley refused to con
firm or deny a report that
UMW’s District 50, a catch-all
branch headed by Mr. Lewis’
brother, A. D. Lewis, had loaned
ILA $50,000.
“I’d like to report,” he said,
“that the union is financially
stable and our financial worries
are over, but as far as any com
ment on where the money came
from. I’d like to forego that for
the time being.”
Sees Happier Christmas.
Capt. Bradley said that “up
to two weeks ago.” it looked like
a "black Christmas” on the
docks.
“Now the dock workers and j
the public can expert a merry
Christmas,” he said.
Mr. Lewis did not talk with
reporters after the conference.
Labor circles have expected for
more than a year that he might
make some move to disrupt
slow-moving merger talks be-!
tween the CIO and AFL by
attempting to expand UMW into
a third major labor group.

3 Officials Ask
More Facts on
Juvenile Cases
Raspberry, Murray
And Shea Urge End
To Court Restraints
By Miriam Ottenberg
Two police chiefs and Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea all said
they wanted more information
from Juvenile Court in testi
mony before the Senate Juvenile
Delinquency subcommittee to
day.
Police Chief Robert V. Mur
ray and Park Police Chief Mark
Raspberry insisted no harm
would come to the children and
police would be helped if Ju
venile Court would tell police
what happened to the children
when in Juvenile Court.
Mr. Shea told the subcommit
tee that in spite of the Juvenile
Court judge’s interpretation of
the law, he believes the Welfare
Department should be able to
exchange information with the
court in advance of a child's
commitment to the Welfare De
partment.
Co-ordination Stressed.
Through recent arrangements,
he said, his department now is
able to get information from
| Juvenile Court on 25 fathers
monthly who are under court
orders to support public assist
ance division families.
“This is helpful,” he said, “we
believe, however, that when a
man’s family is being supported
through public funds and when
that man is on probation to a
court for non-support of that
family there should be elose co
ordination between the two agen
cies regarding planning for that
family. Far more than financial
support is involved. Wp cannot
; hope to attack the problem of
parental responsibility except by
co-ordinated effort.”
Additional Developments.
There were these other high
lights of the morning session, be
fore the Senate probers:
1. Chief Murray told the sub
committee he wanted the com
; munity to know that only nine
! cases of juvenile dope addiction
I were discovered by police and
i other authorities here during the
past fiscal year. And most of the
nine were nearly 18 years old.
2. Chief Raspberry said juve
nile delinquency is not a major
problem with the Park Police,
but the problems he has are with
I the local children and not with
the many juvenile visitors to the
Nation's Capital.
3. Capt. Mary Gainey, chief
of the police Women’s Bureau,
said she thought the District
juvenile court law was “rather a
good one.” and probation officers
of Juvenile Court do come to the
Women’s Bureau to its so
cial case histories on girls. She
acknowledged, however, that
there was room for improvement
in the exchange of information
I between the court and the Wo
men’s Bureau.
Handicaps Stressed.
Mr. Shea drew' for the subcom
mittee a picture of insufficient
services, limited staff and inade
quate facilities.
Families receiving aid to de
pendent children not only get
too little financial help but too
little counseling, he said. He re
ported that the average case
worker in the public assistance
division has a case load of 144
families.
Mr. Shea noted that three-
I fourths of the children given
; service under this program are in
need because of the absence of a
parent. He called this “an
; alarming indication of family
I breakdown.”
Reporting on the protective
services unit, which works with
families before the children get
into serious trouble, Mr. Shea
noted that during the past fiscal
year the unit dealt with 484
families involving 2,117 children.
As a result of working with these
children and their families, he
