New York stock Exchanse, met
1he group and explained how the
U S. economy operates to provide
the average $13,700 of capital in
vestment for tools and equipment
used by each of the nation's mil
lions of workers.
One of tile visitors wanted to
know why ihe United States has

an open markel, has advantages
that outweigh any disadvantages
trom slumps.
U.S. Supports
Philippines
UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. W
The United States pressed to rally
wavering support today for the
Philippines in renewed balloting
for a disputed U.N. Security Coun
cil seat. But diplomats felt there
was almost no chance of bearing
Yugoslavia, now backed by both
Britain and Russia.
With the United States staking
Its prestige on a Philippine vic
tory, the Asian country's veteran
delegate. Brig. Gen. Carlos P.
Romulo, voted he would stay In
the light until the end.
U.N. circles felt Romulo's
chances faded after Britain passed
word she was openly supporting
Yugoslavia. A British spokesman
denied reports his delegation was
openly campaigning for Belgrade,
but several diplomats said they
naa oeen approached.
The Russians switched support
to Yugoslavia last Friday when
their original candidate, Poland.
failed to win the required two
trftrds majority after four ballots
Jn the 60-nation Assembly.
The- Yugoslavs quickly narrowed
the Philippines' lead and on the
sixth, and final ballot yesterday
the vote stood 29 for the Phllip
, pines and 28 for Yugoslavia.

WASHINGTON uv-The Defense
Department hopes normal turnover
among its civilian workers will
help it meet a goal to shave 68.000
civilians from its payroll without
resorting to layoffs.
Secretary Charles E. Wilson told
a news conference yesterday that
he counts on a cut in the civilian
work force to play the major part
in a drive to save half a billion
dollars and hold defense spending
within 34i2 billions this year;
The expected reductions in the
civilian payroll were outlined in
a new memorandum providing
"guidelines" for efficiency.
Wilson emphasized that no big
scale layoffs of civilian employes
is planned.
The secretary said most of the
reduction would result from "attri
tion" the normal turnover caused
by workers reaching mandatory
retirement age, resigning, leaving
because of 111 health or dying. By
the simple procedure of not re
placing these, the present civilian
employe payroll of about 1,154,000
could be cut.
The 68,000 . reduction between
now and next June 30 was esti
mated from percentage figures in
Wilson s memorandum. This pro
posed, as a "target" goal, that the
number of workers be reduced 2
per cent by next Dec. 31, another
2 per cent by March 31 and still
another 2 per cent by June 30, the
end of the fiscal year.
Wilson made It plain the econ
omy drive will not result in new
reduclions of military personnel.
To a question, Wilson said he ex
pected the Army would be able to
retain 18 or 19 of Us present 20
divisions despite a cut in Army
funds for the current year. When
Congress earlier (his year ap
proved reducing Army manpower,
there were plans to trim Army
unit strength to 17 divisions.

White House conferences arc
free wheeling affairs m which the
President has been liberal with
news despite a sometimes tend
ency to filibuster with an odd kind
of doublelall;. Abandonment of the
White House news conference
system could reduce the flow ot
basic information to the public In a
big way.
It Is not likely that the Pres
ident will on his own end or curtail
his meetings with the press and
other media. But Mrs. Eisenhower
will have something to say about
the President's way of life when
he returns to the White House. And
his doctors will possess an effec
