As for the nationality of the MIO pilots, he said only, "It Is safe to assume they were Communists." , This was the first known clash between U.S. and Communist planes since the Korean armistice was signed July 27.

Wl Oregon's Sen. Wayne Morse criticised Texas Gov. Allan shivers before an audience of Texans Sunday night. Morse, who during the last elec tions bolted the Republican Party, aald "It is not politically ethical to stay in one party and campaign for the other party." Shivers, a Democrat, supported Gen. Eisen hower in the last election. Morse also criticised Sen. Lyndon Johnson ( Tex), the Senate minor ity leader. Morse said Johnson "has the most, reactionary record in the Senate" and apparently Is afraid he will be defeated In the next election. - "The worst representative you can have Is a politician who is afraid to be defeated. I rannot reconcile certain actions of your senior senator except on the basis of the fact that he Is afraid he is going to be defeated," Morse said. Morse also told the mixed audi ence of Negroes and whites that legislation by the last Congress which gave Texas the title to so called tldelands was "the greatest political steal in the history of our country." . . ..

Hoover Stays On Top Of Big Reorganization Job; Government Saving Eyed ' By ED.CREAGH WASHINGTON tfP) When the White House called Herbert Hoover away from a fishing vacation last summer tn draft him foe a axacllng job, the former President a icuauiy rupurica 10 nave voiced some feelings of un - Quakerlike exasperation. .

The commission held its first meeting . with President ' Eisen hower Sept. 29. Four months later, Its work is actively under way, Ai;d its once-reluctant chairman is directing that work at a pace v.'hlch could tire a man 40 years younger. - "He almost never seems to rest,'! one of Hoover's associates said. "He spends three or four days a week in Washington, . and even when. he goes back to New York he's still on the Job at breakfast, at lunch,, at dinner, in the evening, on weekends." Hoover has taken on the iob of personally picking experts for the eight task forces which have been set up to advise the commission on problems ranging from surplus property to the cost of laundering sheets in government hospitals. "He's determined," says a staff member, "to get the best quali fied expert in the country on every subject. Because of his wide range of contacts, and his power of per suasion, he usually gets his man too people who normally wouldn't dream of 'going to work for the government." A staff of 39 full-time employes, along with 140 part-time consul tants, has been assembled. Most of the task forces already have started gathering data. The com mission has until next Dec. 31 to file its preliminary report. Its com plete findings are due five months later. To all appearances, Hoover en Joys being back in work which has long been familar to him and in which even those who criticize him on political grounds regard him as an expert.
