Security Council Seat
Remains in Question
UNITED NATIONS, N.Y., Nov. 8 M—The Philippines and Yugoslavia fought to an
other draw today in the longest run of ballots ever recorded in a contest for a UN Security
Council seat.
• When the 21st ballot showed no decision or even a prospect of a break, the UN Assem
bly- postponed voting for two weeks.
Delegates once again will try to solve the deadlock which has split Washington and
London and caused bitterness in
quarters normally friendly. The
diplomatic veneer is wearing thin
as some delegates discuss the sit
uation in private; They complain
the deadlock is cutting across the
work of the whole Assembly and
causing unnecessary ' complica
tions.

CSC Claims
To Withhold
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (J—The Civil Service Commis
sion today claimed "inherent power" under the Constitution
and the law to withhold information from Congress, the press
and the public.
Chairman John E. Moss (D-Calif.) of a House subcommit

Senate Begins
General Motors
'Case Study'
WASHINGTON, Nov. 8 (W)—
A four-week Senate "case study"
of General Motors Corp. began
today with proposals to curb
giantism in industry.
Sen. O'Mahoney (D.-Wyo.), pre
siding 'at the Judiciary subcom
mittee hearings, gave assurances
they "are not a prosecution" of
the world's biggest manufacturing
firm. A Republican, Sen. Alex
ander Wiley (Wis.), urged that
"partisan politics be kept out."
A small businessman testified
that General Motors is "entirely
too big." One economist warned
against the trend of vast "con
glomerates" ranging, as GM has
done,
.into' other industries. An
other economist suggested the
auto industry may be closed for
ever to newcomers.
O'Mahoney disclosed that three
Michigan economists, who have
made a special study of GM,
have declined to testify because
they gave "a pledge of confidence"
to GM and to the Brookings In
stitution, for which they did re
search.
O'Mahoney said, however, that
General Motors now has notified
him it will waive the confidence
pledge if requested to do so by
the Brookings Institution.

of authority" to be asserted by
any federal agency. He joined
Rep. Fascell (D-Fla.) in question..
ing whether any such "inherent
power" exists.
Philip Young, CSC chairman
and chief adviser to President
Dwight D. Eisenhower on govern
mental personnel, and the agen
cy's General Counsel Lawrence
V. Meloy were the principal wit
nesses as the Government Opera
tions .subcommittee launched a
formal inquiry into the question
whether federal agencies disclose
all they should about their opera
tions.
'Reasonable Requests'
The witnesses said that in prac
tice the commission will answer
any "reasonable" requests for in
formation.
But they declared (1) CSC it
self 'reserves the right to deter
mine what is "reasonable," and
(2) CSC gets authority to do this
from both the civil service law
and the Constitution.
Young also said under persis-
I
tent questioning that the commis
sion, doesn't mean to gag its em
ployes through a section of its
rules which describes official in
formation as "government prop
erty" and forbids employes to di
vulge it without authorization.
Acknowledvs Clarification
"It may be this section needs
some clarification," Young ac
knowledged. "We'll be glad to re
view it . . . in the light of our
stated position."
This position actually is, he said,
that officials are encouraged to
give out all the information they
can and have been given specific,
written authorization to do so.
But Young said this doesn't per
mit employes to air outside the
agency disputes within CSC or
criticisms of its policies.
