Falling Mercury
Expected to Keep
Streets Dangerous
Bright sunlight today melted
much of last night’s 2.6-inch
snowfall off streets and high
ways. But tonight's expected low
temperatures of 12 degrees in
the city and 8 in the suburbs
could make motoring tomorrow a
greater hazard than it was this
morning.
The snow packed down hard
earlier today, periling motorists

and causing all area public and
parochial schools outside the
District to remain closed.
Today’s highest temperature
is expected to be around 28. cold
enough to refreeze the melted
snow. By midday, police re
ported that most streets in the
city were clear.
The low tonight will be about
five degrees under the previous
low this year, and the coldest
weather since January two years
ago, the Weather Bureau said.
No More Snow Seen
No more snow is expected be
fore Wednesday night, fore
casters said.
Public and parochial schools
in the District held regular
classes today but buses assigned
to pick up crippled pupils did not
operate. School Supt. Hobart M
Corning also announced that
pupils would be excused in cases
where parents judged conditions
too severe to send children to
schools.
The District began spreading
sand, salt and calcium chloride
on streets at 11:05 last night
By the rush hour this morning,
more than 100 city thicks, plus
15 from the District Transit Co.,
were laying sand and chemicals
in Washington. Many places had
to be covered repeatedly, as on
the South Capitol street bridge,
sanded four times during the
night.
Drivers Warned
Police warned motorists to
drive only :f they could not
avoid it. The No. 1 traffic emer
gency regulation was not invok
ed. Officials indicated they did
not expect to put it in force to
day. It provides for arrests of
drivers whose cars are not equip
ped with chains or snow tires and
get stalled on the main arteries.
Police in nearby Maryland and
Washington reported roads were
slick as glass eary this morning.
Maryland State troopers,
working overtime, reported that
“every place where there’s a
hill, there's a traffic tieup.”
The Weather Bureau's five
day forecast today predicted
"temperatures will average 6 to
10 degrees below the normal
high and low of 44 and 28. tt

Humphrey Bogart
Dead of Cancer
By JAMES BACON
Assoclaled Press Writer
HOLLYWOOD. Jan. 14.—Hum
phrey Bogart, one of the movies’
I greatest talents and certainly its
I most non-conforming non-con
formist, died today of cancer of
! the esophagus. He was 57.
As late as Saturday night,
Bogie was still Bogie. Talking
\ optimistically with friends, be
] tween customary scotches, he
gave no sign the end was so
; near.
But yesterday morning he
. sank into a coma from which
file never revived. The end came
I at 2:10 a.m. with one final deep
II sigh.
'I At, his bedside was his wife,
6Actress Lauren Bacall. Asleep
nearby in the sprawling Holmb.v
Hills home were the two Bogert
children, Stephen. 8. and Leslie. 4.
And thus cancer killed off the
Academy Award-winning star.
His physician said it was a
spread of the original malignan
cy that brought on death. He
had undergone a long operation
last March.
Voice Not Affected
Unlike most victims of cancer
in the throat area, Mr. Bogart's
voice was not affected. Until the
! final coma, it was the same old
j Bogart bark that made the actor
a favorite “tough guy” of the
movies.
Mr. Bogart, though dying, had
been comfortable in his last days.
A recent operation had removed
some scar tissue on a nerve and
given him much relief.
Funeral arrangements, still not
complete, called for burial
Wednesday or Thursday at For
est Lawn Memorial Park in
nearby Glendale, final resting
place of many a movie great.
Miss Bacall asked that ex
pressions of sympathy be in the
form of contributions to the
American Cancer Society.
Mr. Bogart never would ad
mit publicly that cancer would
beat him.
Better Man Than Ever
“I'm a better man than I ever
was,” he told this reporter just a
few weeks ago.
This, even after the state of
his health hi d become the prime

Army Guard Enlistees
Must Train 6 Months
B.v JOHN' A. GILES
The Army today overruled
opposition by the politically
powerful National Guard Asso
ciation and ordered compulsory
six-month training for all re
serve enlistees who have had no
prior service beginning April 1
The association had protested
the action in advance of the an
nouncement and claimed that
it will mean a 100.000 reduction
in its organization. The asso
ciation proposed three months
active duty instead.
The announcement b.v Army
Secretary Biucker stated that
the action was taken on recom
mendation of Gen. Maxwell D.
Taylor, chief of staff, "after
careful study.”
"All pertinent facts were laid
before the chief of staff, who
after careful consideration and
I after hearing the non-concurring
!view of the National Guard Ru-
Ireau, determined that a period
lot six months training was re
quired to qualify an untrained'
'individual to become a qualified
member of an Army reserve!
component unit which must be
[ready for service upon declara-j
:Uon of an emergency,” the Army,
said.
It added that Gen. Tay-i
dor's recommendation was based l
!"solely on military considera
tions.”
At present, for the Army Na
tional Guard, a man between
the ages of 17 and 18'* can
enlist and then is obligated to 1
continue his training until age

Army Guard enlistee will take

and then serve an additional 4 1 V
years in the Guard in order to,
be eligible to be transferred to

more years. The latter requires
no training attendance.

Drought Area
Aid Is Pledged
By Eisenhower
President on Tour
Declares Everyone
'Will Do His Best'
EN ROUTE WITH EISEN
HOWER, Jan. 14 i/P). —President
Eisenhower tramped the South
western drought lands today and
promised on the part of the
Government that "everybody will
do his best” to provide drought
relief.
Traveling over dusty roads,
Mr. Eisenhower made a 22.6-
Picfure on Poge A-5
mile automobile trip through
some of the worst of the sun
; dried country around San An
telo. Tex., before heading on by
jplane to Woodward, Okia
It was the actual start of
his two-day, six-State tour of
parched and windblown'Tegions.
“Good luck" he called to
'rancher Joe R. Lemley after
chatting with him briefly about
iiis cattle feed problems.
Pasted at the highway on Mr.
Lemley’s ranch was a sign say
ing:
"Ike, we veterans like your
leadership in peacetime, too."
| In advance of his San Angelo
area tour. Mr. Eisenhower got
a call from Texas bankers and
businessmen for more liberal
Federal loans to drought-plasued
farmers and ranchers. A dele
gation put the proposed program
ibefore him at a breakfast con-*
Terence.
Temperature Low
Mr. Eisenhower traveled
through the Texas drought
country with the temperature
in the mid-30s—a sharp drop
from 35-decree weather in San
Angelo yesterday. The sky was
clear today without a trace of
rain clouds which the area so
desperately would like to sec
again.
Bundled in a warm tan top-;
| coat with a brown wool muffler.)
the President's first stop was at
the cotton-grain farm and cat
jtie ranch of 39-year-old Wil
bert R. Block, who leases 385
'acres now bleak and brown with
jdrought and wind erosion.
To Mr. Block and a group of
jhis neighbors Mr. Eisenhower
I remarked on leaving the place:
• “I am delighted to see you
with your chins up. Everybody
will do his best.”
Mr. Block's acres are as
blighted as the next fellow's in
the San Angelo area, but he
showed no sign of discourage
ment in chatting with the Presi
dent.
He and his wife, 30-year-old
Doris Helen, were out in the
yard in their Sunday best when
the President arrived accom
panied by Secretary of Agricul
ture Benson and Secretary of
the Interior Seaton. And the
Blocks' three children—Diana. 7.
Michael 6 and Jean 4—neat and
trim—were on hand.
Shakes Hands With All
Smiling broadly, the President
shook hands with all members
of the family and a good many
of the neighbors. Then he went
off to take a look at some of Mr.
Block's rather scrawny cattle.
The President started his
motor tour at 8:08 a.m. iCSTtJ
Walking to his car he smiled
and waved to the small crowd of
mostly military personnel and i
shook hands with several small
boys as photographers' flash
bulbs popped.
“Hi. there, young fellow." said
the President as he stuck a hand
out to David Stricklin, 10. and
then to his brother, Michael, 12
The boys were taken by sur
prise and just looked with
mouths open as the President
shook Useir hands.
Later David said. “I don't think
I'll wash my hand.”

CSC Increases Authority
Over Hiring by Agencies
Will Install Commission Employes
As Executives on Bureau Boards
By JOSEPH YOUNG
The Civil Service Commission will exercise greater author
ity over the various B’ederal agencies’ civil service boards of ex
aminers which hold examinations and recruit for Government
jobs.
CSC officials disclosed today that the commission is ready to
follow the recommendation of the House Civil Service Commit-
tee that the CSC assign its own
employes to serve as executive
secretaries on each of the agency
civil service examining boards.
In its report last spring, the
House committee said that the
CSC could keep greater control
over the operation'of the agency
boards by having its own em
ployes in charge. At present the
agencies’ civil service examining
boards are manned by employes
of the individual agency. Tiie
CSC has no representatives on
the boards.
•
CSC officials said that recently
they have come across glaring
examples of seme agencies’ in
ability to cope with examining
and recruitment problems.
Qualified Applicants Lost
There have been cases where
eminently qualified applicants
for important and critical Fed
ernl positions sucli as eneinoer
!ing. scientific and professional
jobs have been turned down by
agency boards which do not
have the experience to evaluate
jthem properly.
There have also been cases
where unqualified persons have
been hired for jobs.
Since Federal agencies through
their own examining boards per
form about 80 per cent of the
examination and recruitment in
filling their jobs. CSC officials
are deeply concerned about the
situation. Only about 20 per
cent of Federal job exams are
conducted by the CSC and these
are mostly for lower salaried
jobs such as stenographers,
cierks, etc.
Little CSC Supervision
Tiie only controls which the
CSC now has are tiie power to
reverse agency decisions on ap
peals from job applicants and
the authority to revoke tiie ex
amining board's authority in
cases where civil service rules
and CSC job standards are
flouted.
However. CSC officials ac-
Half-Brother Questioned
In Boy's Fall Off Bridge
Police todny questioned the
1275-pound half-brot her of a
jfour-year-old boy found uncon
jscious and critically injured In
a 4il-foot, plunge from a Silver
Spring railroad bridge.
The child whose condition was
described as “very grave” at 1
Washington Sanitarium is Ste
phen Lee Carter, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Myron L. Carter of 8423
jPlney Branch road, Stiver
Spring.
The boy's half-brother, Doug
! las Newman, 24. was picked up
by Tnkoma Park Police Pfc.
Wiltord lllnger about 8:32 a m.
today. Police had issued a look
out for him on "suspicion of as
sault".
Chief Samuel A. Poster of the
iTakomn Park police said New
man told police he "got panicky
when lie saw the boy go over."
. Detective Capt. G. W. Linthi
cum said his detectives told him
after questioning Newman th t
there was 1.0 evidence that the I
■ knowledge that agency civil
r service examining boards operate
with little supervision from the
! commission and few crackdowns
; have taken place.
I The CSC also will make inten
? sive audits of the boards’ actions
■ to see if proper procedures are
’ being used and if qualified job
: applicants are being accepted
: and unqualified ones rejected.
Both the Congress and the
CSC are agreed that agency civil
service examining boards are
’ necessary and that this deccn
-1 tralization program, if operated
’ property, should result in more
1 expeditious recruiting and place
ment for Federal jobs.
But recent events have
alarmed botli Congress and the
commission regarding the han-1
dling of the examination and
placement problem. CSC officials
say the merit system is being 1
weakened and the Government
is being deprived of the most (
capable employes’ through the (
inept operations of some of the (
agencies' civil service examining
boards.

Thursday.

One of Five Points
UNITED NATIONS. N. Y.. Jan.
14 I/P). —The United States today
called for United Nations action
on a new five-point disarmament
plan which would place inter
national controls on spacp mis
siles and on future stockpiling of
nuclear weapons.
The Soviet Union replied by
proposing a special session of
, the 80-nation General Assembly
to be devoted exclusively to the
disarmament problem.
At the same time. Soviet Dep
t uty Foreign Minister Vassily V.
Kuznetsov blasted the “Eisen
hower Doctrine" for the Middle
East as interference in the af
fairs of the Arab nations and
an aggravating factor in the in
ternational situation.
Lodge I’rotesls Smear
Both Chief United States Dele
gate Henry Cabot Lodge, jr.. and
the committee chairman. Am
bassador Victor A. Belaunde of
Peru, protested against the in
jection of the Middle East ques
tion into the debate, but Mr.
Kuznetsov insisted that the
problems were closely linked.
Mr. Lodge called his remarks
a “smear on the United States,
irrelevant and impertinent."
Mr. Kuznetsov repeated the
disarmament proposals made re
cently by Premier Bulganin and
declared they offered a sound
basis for agreement. These pro
posals included an agreement
,to institute an aerial inspection
■system in a central European
( zone extending 500 miles to each
side of the Iron Curtain.
The Soviet delegate also
normally proposed an immediate
ban on future nuclear test ex
plosions.
Ironclad Controls Vital
The new United Slates dis
armament proposals would go
into effect. Mr. Lodge stressed,
only after an ironclad system ol
controls and inspections had
been established to guard against
violations or evasions.
Major points ot the proposal
were: /
1. That an agreement be
leached undei which all tuture
production of fissionable mater
ials shall be stockpiled exclu
sively for nonweapons purposes
under international inspection.
2. That nuclear test explosions
be limited and later banned, if
an agreement is reached to con
trol the stockpiling of fission
able materials. Pending such an
agreement, the United States
would be willing to work out a
system for advance notice and
limited international observation
ol such tests.
3. That the armed forces of
the United States and the Soviet
| Union be limited to 2.5 million
each and those of Britain and
France to 750.000 each, if the na
’ tions concerned can agree on 1

[ Senators Told
By J. A. O'LEARY
I The Communists will take
|“every risk they dare to take”
Ito win the Middle East, Secre
tary of State Dulles told the
IScnate today.
I Appearing as the first witness
[at joint hearings before the
[Senate Foreign Relations and
[Armed Services Committees, the
[Secretary said the struggle for
[the Middle East may not be the
[last test but could well be the
[decisive test m the struggle be
tween Communism and freedom
[in the world.
: As he testified the Democrats
lon the House Foreign Affairs
[Committee were meeting sep
arately to decide what course
[they will follow on President Ei
senhower’s request for a joint
• resolution authorizing him to use
[the armed forces and economic
[aid in countries of the Middle
[East that request- it to head off
[Communist aggression.
Undecided on Action
> The House Democrats may de
cide whether to go along with
the President's request, or sub
stitute a non-binding resolution,
merely expressing the sentiment
of Congress.
“I can assure you that the
: leaders of international com
munism will take every risk that
they dare to take in order to win
I tiie Middle East.” Secretary
Dulles said “Already they have
made that clear.
"When the stakes are so great,
I do not believe the Congress of
■the United States should play,
or wants to play, merely the role
of an observer. I possesses as-
Isets, perhaps decisive assets, to
throw into the struggle. That
is what the President has point
ed out in his special message to
the Congress, and I do not doubt
that the Congress will respond.”
Armed Force Backed
Chairman Russell of the
Armed Services Committee indi
cated he would like to see Con
gress pass quickly a resolution
authorizing the President to use
the armed forces in the Middle
East, but leave the economic aid
question for more careful study.
He asked Mr. Dulles if the
State Department has given any
thought to helping the U. N. or
NATO to organize an army of in
ternational volunteers made up
of young men who have escaped
from iron curtain countries.
He said a force of volunteers
would offset the so-called volun
teers the Communists talk of
using.
On the first suggestion, Mr.
Dulles insisted there is urgent
need for an economic aid pro
vision in the resolution to give
the President more leeway in
spending S2OO million of existing
foreign aid funds.
On the second proposal Mr.
Dulles said the State Depart
ment has given some thought to
such a volunteer force but has
not come to a conclusion.
