DIPLOMATS HOPE
F0RPAY RAISE GAIN
House Tentatively Approves
Increases in "Post
!. Allowances"
~ the Associated Press.

Diplomats stationed in about half
OF the country's 345 foreign posts
today faced the pleasant prospect of
increases of from 5000 to $500 in
post allowances.
The House has tentatively approved
the raises after hearing that some
diplomatic wives find it difficult to
all their market baskets and that
the plight of low-salaried clerks
abroad is "pitiable.''
.-r Small increases in salary also would
: 60 to diplomatic and Consular clerks
\ receiving less than $1,000 a year.
J OF 909 clerks employed abroad, only
, 81 received more than $3.50 q year,
Chairman Mcmillan, Democrat, Of
South Carolina, of the subcommittee
reported.
Costs Vary Greatly.
The new post allowances were de-
signed to equalize costs of living,
! which vary greatly around the world
For example. the State Departments
index Of diplomats costs ranges from
/ high Of 4O7 in Havana to a low of
SO in Tahiti. Washington is in the
middle with 2lO.
The numbers are based on what 1t
, costs a diplomat to live in various
cities abroad, not on the expenses Of
natives. A mythical diplomatic
market basket" serves in part as the
basis for the computation.
Assistant Secretary Carr said the
basket is composed "of important and
indispensable items of diet, and con-
templates a monthly consumption by
a representative family of man, wife,
two children and servant
What's in the Basket.
Contents Of the market basket:
Six pounds of bacon, 40 loaves of
bread, 10 pounds of butter, pounds
of cheese. 4 pounds Of coffee, 20
dozen eggs, 20 pounds of fish,
pounds OF shortening. 40 pounds of
beef, 10 pounds of mutton, 60 quarts
of milk, 40 pounds of potatoes,
pounds of onions, Is heads of cabbage,
8 heads of lettuce, 20 pounds of
poultry. 80 pounds of sugar. pounds
of tea and 2 large cans of peaches,

Next to Havana, Bangkok, Siam,

spot for diplomats.
