Wilsons order slashing civilian employment will save an estimated $132,030,000 on the annual Defense Department payroll, officials said today. In a directive to the service secretaries made public last night, Wilson ordered civilian employment in the Armv, Navy and Air Force cut back by 39,346 by May 31.

The payroll is to be reduced to 1,288,200 from the January 31 ceiling of 1,327,546 and Wilson told the service secretaries he hoped they would "take the initiative" in achieving greater cuts. Defense Department budget officers said the staggered cutback system should reduce payroll outlays by $33,000,000 between now and next July 1. They said the annual saving was estimated at four times that amount. Officials said the department's civilian payroll had been building up for the Dast 33 months and it was time for a "shake down." The Wilson system of gradual reductions "is not enough to tear any one place in the Marine Corporal Duane Edgar Dewey, of South Bend. closes his eyes as President Eisenhower, right, presents him with Congressional Medal of Honor at White House.

Britain and France aro consiiloriiu; tlio advisability of joint action to moot any furthor Communist attacks on Allied planes along the rim of the Iron Curtain, responsible sources said today. There were indications that the first talks will be held by the Allied high coin- missioners in Germany and that any recommendations they may make will be considered on the highest level in the "Big Three" capitals, i British government authorities made no attempt to ronreal their anger over what a note to the Russians called the "murder" of six British airmen shot down over Germany.

The Foreign Office railed a Russian protest on the alleged violation of Soviet zone territory by the downed Lincoln bomber "ridiculously a gross distortion of the facts." A Russian charge that the plane penetrated 72 miles over Soviet-held territory "shows a degree of incompetence in Russian aircraft navigation which is almost incredible." the spokesman said. "It was an unpardonable outrage for the Russians to attack and shoot down a plane which showed no sign of aggression," he added. British Air Force headquarters at Bad Eilsen had said that radar screenings indicated "definitely" that the plane was attacked over British occupied territory. As regards a Russian charge that the bomber first fired on Russian planes, the Foreicn Office said flatly that it carried no ammunition.

Musmanno Denied Hearing On Bribery Case Charge PITTSBURGH (U.R) Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice Michael A. Musmanno, accused publicly of "hindering a witness" in a bribery trial, lost a bid today for a hearing in Allegheny County Criminal Court. Judge Ralnh T. Bell refused the iustice's jllf I I defense organization apart," it was said. The secretary also instructed the services to whittle down the number ot military personnel in so-called desk jobs and report results to him plea that the bench sit as a maeis- trate for the defense.

Judge Bell pointed out that the charge against Justice Musmanno has not yet been filed. On Tuesday District Attorney Tanioo Mulnnp Jr. announced 'fiip the "hinrierinc" charee against the justice. The charge would i- iToiniiP airt i be a misdemeanor, Malone said. However.

Musmanno in a surprise action yesterday petitioned through his attorneys that a judge of crim- i inal court or the entire bench sit at his preliminary hearing on the charge. Judge Bell ruled that he could not order procedure in a case which, as vet. does not exist. "I have never heard of any pro ceeding where a defendant previous 01 issued two vears ago a charge is filed, was permitted to by John Duniap, former commis-petition the court to compel the pioner causeCj many merchants to prosecutor to file the allegation be- abandon clubs or revise their setups fore any certain tribunal," Judge t0 eliminate prizes.

Report Cites Russian Aqreement Violations WASHINGTON '(UP1 The House Foreicn Affairs Committee ha reported that Soviet Russia has violated at least 37 provision of 16 International agreement on 72 separate subject since the end of World War II. "In most instances." the report said, "the violations have been persistent and recurrent." The taff of the committee put out. a comprehensive document on World War II International asree-mrnt and undrrtand.ng entered into during conference concerning nthrr Tie compilation for ue a ba.ksro.tnd material for the current debate on oat agrertnent totiched off by rreiident Russian Claim of Zone Violation Denied in Protest BKKL1N (U.R) i a i accused Soviet airmen today of 'murder" in the hooting down of a British bomber by Soviet Mis: jot fishters with the loss of six lives. Britain's strong protest charged the fatal attack on the plane was a "deliberate and brutal act of aggression involving the murder of British airmen." Prime Minister Winston Churchill conferred with his top advisers on note and presumably took a pei sonal hand in its wording. i The protest was made today in p.

letter from British High Commis-s oner Sir Ivone Kirkpatrick to tha Soviet commander in Germany, General Vassily I. Chuikov. Six of seven crewmen of the Royal Air Force bomber were killed when the plane was shot down yesterday near the British-Russian zone border in Germany. A seventh man parachuted into the Soviet zone and the Russians said he was in a hospital. The British protest was made shortly after the three Allied high commissioners met in the Bonn office of French High Commissioner Andre Francois-Poncet.

The meeting was believed to discuss the attacks on British and American aircraft in Germany this week by Communist fighters and possible defensive measures to be taken. Kirkpatrick sent his letter tfl Chuikov today shortly after he had received one from the Soviet commander which charged the British bomber had violated Communist East German territory and fired first at the two Russian fighters. A Royal Air Force spokesman de-j nied the Russian claim the Lincoln bomber was over the Soviet sone he insisted radar plottinas showed the plane was over the British zone at the time of the attack, Kirkpatrick' note, handed te Chuikov in Berlin, demanded that those responsible for the "outrage" be punished and that the Soviet Union pay reparation for the damage committed. Group Captain J. Stapleton, op-i era turns chief of the British Second Tactical Air Force headquarter at Bad Eilsen said Soviet claims that the bomber penetrated 72 miles into the Soviet zone appeared completely false.

I British authorities aid a note replying specifically to such accusations by Chuikov would be sent later today. Three of the bomber crew man-1 aged to parachute to earth, but two of them died later of their wounda and injuries. The four others were killed in the attack or when their parachute failed to open. They 1 crashed to earth in the Russian zone. The names of the dead and wounded were not released.

States today accused Communist Czechoslovakia of a "provocative" ct in attacking two American jet fiehters over Germany and demanded "immediate for the United States plane that was destroyed. The United States, in a strongly-worded note delivered to the Prague government, also flatly rejected as "falsification of facts" a Czch com plaint that the two F-84 Thunder-jets which were attacked had penetrated Czech territory.

This government said the Czech argument was a false attempt to cover up its clear responsibility for the "inexcusable" attack. The United States note was disclosed after Britain protested to Soviet Russia about the shooting down of a British bomber. The British called it an act of aegression and murder of British crewmen. The United States note was delivered to the Czech Foreign Office at 2:00 p. Prague time 10:00 a.

E.ST. The note: 1. Demanded an apology for the "irresponsible" attack on the American planes by the Mig-15 fighter planes. 2. Demanded assurances that no further incidents "will occur again." 3.

Demanded that since the Czechoslovakia was "clearly responsible" for the destruction of one Thunder.iet that the United States be repaid for The Air Force officials have said that an F-84 Thun-deriet costs approximately $200,000. The note was delivered as angry congressmen and worried diplomats agreed the British and American plane incidents were about all the western world could take at this time. "If it happens again right, iway. we may be headed for trouble," one I high administration official said. One congressman said that If apy Communist planes crossed into American territory "we should shoot hell out of them." The United States note stressed (Continued on Pate 4.
