New Toiks Fail to Free
9 Held by German Reds
BERLIN. June 16 (*)■—'The
United State* failed today—in
it* second contact with Com

the release of nine United
States Army men held prisoner.
Responsible diplomatic
sources said the Communists
Insisted Main that the heli

East Germany's foreign min

In a 40-minute meeting at
the East Berlin Ministry, Col.
McQuail reportedly presented
credentials from Gen. H. I.
Hodes, the United States com
mander-in-chief for Europe.
He also indicated he was ne
gotiating with the approval of
the State Department.
Prestige Sought
Seeking international pres
tige for their regime, the Com
munists apparently demanded
that Col. MoQuail show diplo
matic accreditation.
Col. McQuail walked into the
East Berlin ministry at noon.
He was accompanied by Maj.
Raymond J. McCrory, Jr., of
Wauwatosa, Wis., of the United
States liaison mission in Pots
dam and three soldiers who
kept newsmen from getting
dose enough to ask questions.
The first contact was made
Saturday by Col. McQuail,
chief liaison officer to the Rus
sian Army in East Germany.
It reversed a nine-year -United
States policy of no direct deal

New Disease
Called Space
Travel Peril
DUARTE, Calif., June 15 UP).
—Space planners should con
sider the possibility that new
and deadly diseases may lie in
wait on'the moon, says a noted
physician.
Because of the threat, the
first man to reach the moon
should be a doctor who knows
how to handle primitive life
forms without danger of con
tamination, Dr. Burgess L
Gordon adds.
Dr. Gordon, president of the
American College of Chest
Physicians, and Education Di
rector of the Lovelace Founda
tion for Medical Education and
Research in Albuquerque, N. M.,
spoke yesterday at a meeting of
chest specialists at the City of
Hope Medical Center.
“In getting man ready to go
to the moon, we must think of
what we may find there that
will help or hurt us.” he said.

Bridges Joins
Drive to Limit
Trade Law
If lh# AuacLUd Mm
aunttjw Bridget, Republican
of New Hampshire, today joined
Senator Know land, Republican
of California, in a drive to limit
to three years the extension of I
the reciprocal trade law.
Senator Bridges, who heads
the Senate Republican Policy
Committee, said In an Interview
he will not go along with a
House-passed five-year exten
sion which President Elsen
hower has asked Congress to
approve.
The preeent Republican ad
ministration will be In power
another 3lfc years, Senator
Bridses said. “Nobody knows
what will happen in the 1960,
elections and I see no reason
for taking any chances and
extending this authority for
five yean”
James C. Hsgerty, White
House press secretary, said
Saturday Mr. Elsenhower
wants the five-year extension
voted by the House, and will
“continue to work for passage"
of the bill in that form.
Needs Democratic Help
But as he did In the House.
Mr. Elsenhower apparently
will need strong support from
Democrats in the Senate if the
House bill is to be passed with
out major revision.
Senate Democratic Leader
Johnson of Texas already has
announced support of the five
year extension. Chairman
Byrd of the Senate Finanoe
Committee, which will begin
hearings on the measure next
Friday, has Indicated his sup
port of the House bill.
Senator Clifford P. Case, Re
publican of New Jersey, said
that as a practical matter he
and other supporters of the
trade program will be satis
fied If they can hold the line
for the House bill.
GoMwater Opposed
On the other hand. Senator
Ooldwater, Republican of Ari
aona, said he has about given
up hope that the bill can be
altered materially and probably
will vote against It. Senator
Ooldwater said the government
purchase of S9O million worth
o$ surplus copper isn’t going
to solve the problem of mines
closed in his State because of
import competition.
Senator Bridges said that
while he believes extension of
the authority may be limited
to three years, he doubts critics
will be successful in efforts to
open wider the escape clauses
under which tariffs can be kept
high to prevent Injury to do
mestic industries.
As approved by the House,
the bill would provide optional
methods for tariff regulation
by which the President could
cut rates by as much as 10 per
cent In any year’s period but
not more than 35 per cent over
five years. Any rate now more
than half of the value of a
product could be reduced to 50
per cent.
on the moon it Is possible low
forms of life such as fungi or
spore formations exist.
“These could be either bene
ficial or extremely harmful to
our planet,” he said. “If any
primitive forms of life are found
on the moon we must be tare
ful how we bring them back.
We must be alert to the possi
bility that space ships can bring
us new diseases that we don’t
know how to fight.”

THE FEDERAL SPOTLIGHT
Hatch Act Hearings
To Open After Delay
By JOSEPH YOUNG
Sur Staff Writer
The sso,ooo investigation of the Hatch Act authorised by
Congress has run into difficulties but finally will get underway
Thursday.
The study was delayed when the chief couneel of the
investigating group quit in a dispute over policy. Concrsee
authorised the investigation by a House Administration sub-
committee more than a year
ago.
Representative Lankford
Democrat of Maryland, spon
sor of the authorising resolu
tion. feels that the Hatch Act
should be modified to give Fed
eral workers greater freedom of
political activity.
It had been hoped that the,
subcommittee would complete
its investigation and submit to
Congress its proposals to Con
gress for revising the Hatch
Act by the end of this year’s
! session of Congress.
But it Is now apparent that
,the investigation will not be
oompieted this year. Congress
will again have to vote the sss,-
000 to continue the investiga
tion—none of the mony has yet
been spent—for another year.
It's expected that this continued
authority tor the Investigation
will be approved.
Mr. Lankford originally bad
propoeed that the study of the
Hatch Act be made by a non
partisan cltixens’ committee,
but be was overruled.
Hearings will begin Thurs
day at the County Bervice
Building In HyatUvllle, Md..
and Mr. Lankford has Invited
Federal employes who wish to
testify to contact his office.
Mr. Lankford declares: *T
am more than ever convinceo
that the Hatch Act should and
can be amended to grant the
greatest possible freedom of
political activities to the great
est number of Federal em
ployes . . . Government em
ployee should and must be ac
corded the rights of first-class
citlseni.”

is expected to approve the 10

raise bill, sending it to the

White House for President
Eisenhower’s certain approval.

FAY SYSTEM CHANGES—
Rocco Siciliano, special assist
ant to President Elsenhower,
says It Is a “misconception” to
say that the administration
has shelved efforts and recom
mendations for a general over
haul of the Government’s sal-
I ary system.
Mr. Siciliano says serious
'study is now going on as to
possible ways of changing the
system of fixing salaries of
Government classified and pos
tal workers, although he ad
mits that “there is no magic
formula available which has
all the answers.”
** * *
WHY NOT? —A reader
writes: “Why is it, a rule Is not
; made to rehire experienced
Government workers who have
been laid off in reduction In
force before hiring students?
Why not a preference for the
lald-off employe just as is given
the veteran over a non-veteran
when hiring?
“I am not against giving stu
dents jobs, but I think a man
or woman with years of exper
ience and with a family should
be considered. Don’t they rate
consideration? Employment is
not at Its peak as you well
know.
