Supreme Court Rules On Fired Security Risks Has Wide Effect On Administration Security Program WASHINGTON (UP) — The supreme court ruled 6-3 today that a federal employe can be fired aa a security risk only if he holds a “sensitive" position. The decision will have a farreaching effect on the administration's security program which now applies to employes in non-sensi-tive jobs, such as clerks, as well as those who have access to government secrets. The decision, written by Justice John M. Harkin, was a victory for Kendrick M. Cole, one-time New York food and drug inspector who was fired in 1954 as a security risk by former welfare secretary Oveta Culp Hobby. He now presumably gets his job back. The case did not involve Cole’s right to confront the persons who supplied' damaging information about him .- Dissenters were Justices Tom C. Clark. Stanley Ft Reed an*Sherman Minton. '■ * ”. Cole 1 was notified in 1954 that he was being fired because of his close association with individuals '‘reliably reported to be Communists” and because of his contacts with Nature Friends of America, an organisation on the attorney general's subversive list. Cole at first efused to reply to the charges on grounds they concerned his “private informal social r llfe." Later he asked twice to have ! the tearing record reopened, but Mrs, Hobby refused. In ano'her case the court ruled that military courts have jurisdiction over civilians who accompany the armed forces abroad. The court’s 5-4 decision upheld the court - martial conviction of two service wives for the murders of their husbands.

Administration Hopes Senate To Ease Cuts Bill 600 Million ' Under Request Os Pres. Eisenhower i WASHINGTON (UP) — The i house today approved a heavily i slashed $3,800,000,000 foreign aid bill to bolster 54 U. S. Allies in the world struggle against communism. The roll call vote was 273-122. The measure now goes to the senate, where the administration , will try to get more money. The bill was $600,000,000 less than President Eisenhower told congressional leaders was abso- . lutely necessary for the safety of i the free world. In all, the house t slashed $1,100,000,000 from the's4,i 900,000,000 program Mr. Eisen- - hower originally requested. The bill approved merely author- . izes the program. Appropriations . must still be approved to crary - out the program—and these faced r still further cute in the house. The house denied Mr. Eisenhowi era special request he made for authority so make long-term eco- :- uomlc commitments ta friendly na- ( I, tloms at the raw of s!W,oo«.«ffe a r year for 10 years. Instead, it voted i to give the President authority t® reallocate the money in the program wherever he believes It Is - most needed. 11 The house also adopted a his- - toric declaration, as part of the bill, that the congress would continue to provide economic and military help to free nations so long as Russia threatened their safety and independence. The bill as approved carries $2,000,000,000 in military aid and sl.800,000,000 in economic aid. Mr. Eisenhower asked for $3,000,000,000 in military aid and $1,900,000,000 in economic aid. The administration now looks to the senate to restore at least some of the $1,100,000,000 cut from President Eisenhower’s $4,900,000,000 program in the house. The senate foreign relations committee / tentatively planned to begin work on the bill Wednesday. The Presidertt before his operation scheduled a meeting today with senate Democratic and Republican leaders to discuss the foreign aid program. The meeting was postponed because of the President's illness. Hqwever, White House press secretary James C. Hagerty said it will be held later this week. He said he did not know who would sit in for the President House GOP leader Joseph W. Martin Jr. declined to forecast what the senate will do with the bBL -■ —7“-" - But both. Democratic and Republican leaders said it would be futile to make a last-minute effort in the house to restore any of the cuts. They pointed to the 80-vote margin by which the house last Friday turned down pleas from them and the President to restore 600 million dollars.
