HOMAGE TO OUR VETERANS
VETERAN’S DAY WILL BE observed tomorrow
throughout the naton as a fitting time to reflect
on the thousands of fine Americans who have given
their time to serve their country in four or more wars.
Some are still in service, ready, if needed, to serve
again; others are in hospitals throughout the nation,
but most of these men and women have returned to
civilian life to take up where they left off.
This should be a time to contemplate and reflect
on world peace so that someday there will be no mors
living veterans of war.
Alaskans will soon see the use of atomic energy
put to work for peaceful purposes with the harbor at
Pt. Thompson. There are many other projects that
should utilize this enormous power and those who
now serve in military fields could — if we had world
peace — be employed toward that end. Not only the
people, but the monies which now are spent to protect
the nation, could be diverted to a bountiful peace.
We believe that this is not wishful thinking, but
something that could happen in the lifetime of the
present generation.
Until that time when there are no living mem
ories of the horrors of war, we set this day to pay
•homage to, and' honor our heroic Veterans for their
courage and sacrifices.
EASY COME, EASY GO!
WASHINGTON OBSERVERS, shocked at the
steady expnsion of the ranks of “public serv
ants” at Federal, state and local levels, tell us that
one person out of every eight in the U. S. gets his
pay in tax money ! The total is estimated at eight
million, the annual payroll at $30 billion.
Tax reform provides the only means of reversing
this trend. It is simply a case of “easy come, easy go.”
It will prevail as long as the taxpayers feel the
same way.

U. S. Hopes Russ
Will Suspend
Further Tests
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
WASHINGTON, UR—'U. S. offi
cials hoped Saturday that Russia
would yield to American and
United Nations urging and sus
pend further nuclear weapons
tests pending outcome of nego
tiations on an enforceable test
ban.
Some authorities thought it
might be significant that the last
reported Soviet nuclear explosion
was on November 3, the day be
for the U. N. Assembly adopted a
resolution calling for suspension
of tests during the Geneva nego
j tiations.
I Other officials said there was
| no real way of telling what the
! Russian government will do about
| the issue in the next few days.
Both President Eisenhower and
Secretary of States Dulles have
held open the possibility of a be
lated Soviet agreement to a tem
porary cessation of testing.
In an evident move to put pres
sure on the Moscow government,
Dulles said Friday Russia faces
the condemnation of world public
: opinion for persisting in nuclear
I test explosions after the Geneva
talks opened a week ago Friday.
The Atomic Energy Commission
announced earlier Friday that the
Russians had fired two test shots,
one on November 1 and the other
on November 3.
At the same time Eisenhower
announced the United States and
Britain would contniue with their
self-imposed temporary test ban,
at least for the time being. He
added “We hope that the Soviet
Union will also do so.”
Hungarian Exiles Riot
At Soviet Legation
NEW YORK, UR — About 200
Hungarian exiles, picketing the
Park Avenue headquarters of the
Soviet delegation to the United
Nations, clashed with police Fri
day night when the demonstra
tion got out of hand.
The picketing was occasioned by
Russian observance of the 41st
anniversary of the Bolshevik Rev
olution.
Twelve demonstrators were ar
rested. Two policemen were
treated for minor injuries.
A police official said pickets
began swinging with their fists
as if at a signal.
Police responded with fists and
night sticks.

Soviets Charge
Iran Involved In
U. S. 6War Plans’
TEHRAN, Iran, UP) — Iran Sat
urday rejected a Soviet charge
that it is getting involved in
American war plans.
At the same time Iran reserved
the right to enter defensive pacts.
Iran’s mildly-worded note re
plied to a memorandum in which
the Soviets last week complained
that Iran was preparing to sign a
military treaty which endangered
the southern Soviet border.

trade. He said the larger part of
capital goods required for eco
nomic development must be fi
nanced through such trade.
2. Wider sharing of technical
skills, which he tabbed the bed
rock of economic development.
3. Ever greater emphasis on
private investment. The President
said the resources of American
private capital are far larger than
the amount the government can
provide for projects in free Asia.
4. Greater provision for public
loans on normal bankable terms
— for projects such as highways.
He noted the World Bank, which
already is extending such loans,
has agreed to consider an increase
in the bank’s capital subscriptions.
5. Expansion of development fi
nancing to provide borrowers with
greater flexibility regarding re
payment terms.

Upper Bracket Workers
Dominate Civil Service
WASHINGTON, (if) — A House
subcommittee says that although
the government now has about
the same number of classified civil
service employes as in 1942, it has
five times as many in the upper
payroll brackets.
A general upgrading of jobs
during that period had added more
than a billion dollars a year to
payroll costs, said a report of the
Civil Service manpower subeom- '
mittee headed by Representative
Tames C. Davis (D-Ga).
luvis conceded that many of
the higher paid jobs are necessary
to meet needs of the electronic
age and to handle new programs
authorized by Congress. But he
saia much of the increase is not
justified.
The weekend report said that
in 1942, there were 11.0:i0 em
ploye* in the lop bracket pay lev
els but the number nas grown
to 56,000. Pay in these levels runs
.rim ;9.890 to $' ,50') a year.
A.s part of the effort to meet
t’i ooblem, P'esident Eisenhow
e last March ordered creation of
the. Career Executive Board. The
agency was assigned to work with
the Civil Service Commission and
other government units in an ef
fort to keep career executives in
government service and to make
most effective use of them.
The USS Princeton, the first ’
Navy warship to have propelling
machinery below, the waterline
out of reach of enemy shot, was
launched at Philadelphia Dec.
19, 1843.
