Hall is the Republican version of Jim Farley: a big hander. When everybody was almost everybody else in he Gtov HSV 4 bility should be lavishly tested the next two years.

Hall will be chief oiler of the party machinery. Besides raising funds and trying to get government jobs for Republicans who, have been waiting 20 years for them, he must deal with, inspire, lead, advise and pacify, not only other members of the national commit- tee—146 in all—but Republican governors, mayors, various local big shots and. Republican groups. Since the national committee— made up of men and women cho- sen by Republicans back home in all the states and territories—usu- ally meets no more than twice a year, Hall will have to depend day day on the help of perhaps 150 paid staff workers.in the commit- tee’s six-story headquarters here. Staff work ranges from research and sending speakers to Republi- can dinners and doings around the U, S. to publicity which blows the horn for republican accomplish- ment, tries to win friends and to give the Democrats miseries. The research staff, for instance, is ‘still busy analyzing the 1952 election results showing why Re- publicans won of lost where they did. This information is for the help of Republican politicians in general and state committee chair- men in particular. A special committee helps Hall raise party funds and, in a sep- arate building, Hall will have a staff filling and trying to fill the job applications from Republicans everywhere who think it’s only ag they should get a ee jol Hall is a political pro. He served seven terms in the House and has just given up a $25,000 a year. job as a New York surrogate—judge of wills——to take over the chair- manship for which his predeces- sor, C, Wesley Roberts, got $32,500. Hall says he'll practice law on the side, he says, but not in govern- ment cases. Since President Eisenhower, the nominal head of the party, will spend most of his time running the govérnment, Hail will have to run the committee and the party organization. All his efforts will be for nothing, of ‘ccurse, if the Ei- senhower administration has failed ‘to impress the customers by next election day.

Abuse came when certain employes were frozen into policy- aking confidential positions.” On March 31, three days after that statement, he bounced Astin, a scientist anda Republican, who had been with the Bureau of Stand- ards since 1932 and had been di- recting it since Oct. 1, ,1951. Weeks that day ‘went before a the W. A. Sheaffer Pei Company, and now Assistant Secretary of Commerce. Weeks read a prepared state- ment. It was lengthy, Boiled down, this was the story: Several years ago the New York Better Business Bureau complained to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) about a battery additive— called AD-X2, made by Jesse M. Richie of California. One of the bureau's jobs is to make scien- tifie tests-for the FTC on com- mah products to protect the public. : The bureau made tests on AD-X2, and didn’t think much of it. Richie complained .to. the Senate Small Business Committee, which asked the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to run tests. It did. MIT seemed ‘o contradict, in part, the bureau’s findings. Which is right hasn’t been finally decided but Weeks said he felt. Richie wasn't getting a square shake from the “bureaucrats.” When Sen. Hunt, Wyoming Dem- ocrat, asked Sheaffer if it wasn't a “little rough” to fire a govern- ment employe for one mistake, Sheaffer replied: ‘‘This is one fac- tor in a number of reasons.” Hunt asked Sheaffer to give the reasons. Sheaffer said: “We aren’t prepared to do that right now.” No other reasons have been given publicly yet. = Then weeks tossed another ele- ment into the case in a way -that questioned the integrity of em- ployes in the bureau. He said it appeared to him that some of its scientists: “were in touch with and worked closely with individuals The day that Weeks and Sheaf- FF tion would clean out the “mess,” | fer told their story the chairman said: “Shrill cries will be as the ax is swung.” rd | of the committee, Sen.

Short- ly afterwards he fired Dr. Allen V. Astin, director of the Bureau of Standards, the government's primary scientific testing outfit, with a world-wide reputation -for side. But the work of the bureas has been praised witely by scientists and scientific bodies. Weeks’ re- mark about some of the bureau's scientists brought a fast reaction. Nongovernment scientists demand- ed an investigation. And over the past week end, Washington newspapers reported, more than 50 employes of Astin's bureau threstened to quit unless ‘His good name was cleared.
