WASHINGTON, Dec. 17—M—The government's top loyalty
review board today ordered a recheck of 565 federal employes• under
the same rule, that red' to' the firing of career diplomat John S.
Service because of a finding of ,"reasonable doubt" as to his loyalty.
An official said the board had' found "sufficient derogatory

Steelworkers
Ask. Pay Boost
To Stop Strike
PITTSBURGH. • Dec. 17—(A))- - --
CIO United Steelworkers served
notice - on . the steel industry today
that they will strike New Year's
Day unless they get a 15 cent
hourly pay boost and other bene
fits:'
"We will not work without a
contract," declared a grim Philip
Murray, president of both the
CIO and CIO United Steelwork-
ers, at a news conference follow
ing a meeting of the powerful
USW wage-policy committee.
Murray reported the union's
executive board and wage-policy
committee directed him to call a
special international convention
of the United Steelworkers Jan. 3
"because .of the seriousness of the
situation which confronts th e
union."
The convention:. Murray said,
will the power to accept or
reject any proposed settlement
worked out by the government if
any has been advanced at that
time.
"Unfortunately," the soft-spok
en, silver-haired labor - leader told
newsmen, "due to the industry's
refusal to bargain with us in good
faith, it now appears that a strike
at midnight on Dec. 31, 1951 will
be unavoidable."
Murray accused the U.S. Steel
Corporation and other basic steel
producers of• filibustering in con
tract talks and said "big steel" has
made no counter offer on wages.
A spokesman for big steel said
that the corporation "has no im
mediate comment" on Murray's
strike threat or his accusations
the corporation is not bargaining
in godd faith.'

Reports Are Mandatory
The board, headed' by former

ham of Connecticut, also directed
federal agencies to take a new
look at the records of 574 other
federal employes who entered the
government after Oct. 1, 1947.
A board spokesman said to
day's order calls for "mandatory"
new reports on the 565 by the
federal agencies which employ
them.
The spokesman said that• in the
other 574 cases, the agencies are
merely advised to take a second
look in the light i3f . the new loy
alty standard set up by President
Truman last• May.
Disloyalty Proof
"These 574," the board ex
plained in a statement, "were
placed in agencies upon clearance

held by regional loyalty boards."
Under. the new standard, the
top review board no longer re
quires proof of disloyalty. It can
recommend dismissal of a fed-'
eral worker if it decides there
is "reasonable doubt" of the em
ploye's loyalty.
Truce Teams
9 Days until
MUNSAN, Korea, Tuesday, Dec. 18-z-(EP)—NegotiatOrs wrangled
bitterly without results Monday as time grew short for keaching a
full-scale Korean armistice before Dec. '27.
That date, only nine days away, will mark the expiration of a
30-day agreement on a provisional cease-fire line based on the
battlefront.
Each side accused the other of, delaying the talks, but made
no move to comnromise.
Allied patience was wearing
thin, but slow progress apparently
had nothing to do with orders
given Allied planes to attack any
Red vehicles which were not
properly identified on the road
south to the armistice area.
In announcing the orders last
night, an Allied spokesman said,
"The honeymoon is over. We start
shooting tomorrow."
Another effort to crack separate
deadlocks on exchange of prison
ers and supervising a truce was
scheduled for 11 a.m., today (9
p.m., Monday EST) in adjoining
sub-committee tents at Panmun
jom.
However, neither side made a
formal move to extend the immi
nent deadline, and a UN spokes
man'indicated no extension was
necessary.
Brig. Gen. William P. Nuckols,
said Monday night, "The proce
dure" is already established . : .
there is no question of extension
of any time limit."

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17—(JP)—
The Air Force ,announced tonight
it has let a new contract for de
velopment of an atomic aircraft
engine' in what was described
as another approach to finding a
way to harness atomic power to
flying.
The contract has been awarded
tciN Pratt & Whitney Aircraft,
East Hartford, Conn.
Last March the Atomic Energy
Commission announced it had
authorized negotiation of a con
tract with a General Electric
Company division "for further de
velopment of a nuclear reactor
for aircraft."
A reactor converts atomic en
ergy.
The AEC is cooperating in the
latest venture, also.
An Air Force representative
hinted that the second contract
was "to stimulate" efforts to de
velop the atomic plane's power
plant.
The Air Force considers this a
project of highest priority. Its
deVelopment is expected to run
into millions of dollars. It is also
expected to take several years
to develop.

Arms Group
PARIS, Dec. 17—(IP)--Catch
ing the Western powers by sur
prise, the Soviet bloc proposed to
day the creation of a disarmament
commission which should make a
new start on the whole issue of
atomic control and arms reduc
tion.
Western spokesmen at once
commented privately that the
United States, France, and Britain
would fight the Soviet bloc reso
lution, when a vote is taken,. per
haps tomorrow or Wednesday, in
the UN political committee.
The West favors creation of a
disarmament commission but op
poses the new move on the
grounds that it would not give
proper instructions to the com
mission. It would mean cancelling
the work of five years during
which the UN has chiseled out the
principles of atomic control.
