She said the scholarship awards
was the attraction which led her
to enter the contest. The crown also
brought with it movie screen test

Miss Myerson's mind.
Runner-up in the contest was
Miss San Diego, 18-year-old Phyllis

was a semi-invalid with phlebitls.
An ash blonde, she was awarded a

Garvin's announcement that Nip.
ponese officials would be retained
in Korea and that the Japanese
constabulary would be permitted
to keep it's arms, brought critical
comment from Korean newspaper
men at the conference. a-
But the General said he refused
to enter into political argument
and that the decision was final.
He said the plan was analogous
to the Tokyo surrender, with Gen.
eral Hodge, commander of the
American occupation zone in south,
ern Korea, giving orders through
the Japanese Governor General,
just as General Macarthur inpos.
ed the Allied will on Japan through
Emperor Horohito.

was country of 25,000,0 900 people,
and said it was necessary to keep
the Japanese in office pending
completion of occupation by ArNer-
lean troops.
The Russians occupy Korea
north of the 38th parallel of lati-
tude. Garvin presumably outlined
the policy only for the American
area.
The Korean newspapermen ques
toned Garvin's comparison be-

the Allied government plan. They
said the Japanese were fanatical'

Higher Federal Pay
Washington Evening Starr

There may be some dissent from the particular Federal pay increases which have been proposed-wth the approval of the President-by Civil Service Com missioner Arthur s. F1emmng. But it is difficult to see how any disagree with the proposition that Federal salaries in common fairness and as a matter of good business, should be revised upward to point where the rewards of Government service will compare favoraby with those of private industry
 MT F1emmng has recommended to the Senate Civil Service Committee that there be flat 20 per cent increase for per Federal employees, and that this be accompanied by general $l00oO salary boost for Federal judges members of Congress and the chiefs and assistant chiefs of executive depart ments In addition salaries of the heads and mem bers of administrative agencies would be raised to Sl75OO or S20000, determined by the President. The estimated annual cost of the increases is $4l5- 570000
 Government workers last summer received grad uaed pay increases ranging from to 20 per cent the greater raises going to those in the lower brackets Even with this advance however, Federal workers Jagged behind employees in private industry the latter receiving 72 per cent more pay increases from 1941 to 1945 From this it would that MT Flemming s latest proposal reflects desire the part of the President to keep Government workers abreast of anticipated pay boosts in private industry and per haps to offset to extent the nequities which prevailed in Federal against private pay scales po to the war.
 The basic justification for higher Federal salaries lies in the fact that this country is to have good government it offer pay inducements sufficient to attract and hold good workers In the past far too many superior workers have been lost to the Govern ment because private industry offered greater rewards And while it is all very well to say that Government employment carries with it sense of public service that alone is not sufficient to enable the Government to engage and keep the calber of workers that are needed.
 Whether we like it or not the job of running the Government of the United States has become big business And in our complex modern society there is very little prospect that the Governments future role will be one of diminishing importance. In view of this it is both sound policy and good business prac- tice to go after the best people that be obtained for all three branches of government We cannot expect however, that men and women of the desired ability will continue to the Government at substantial personal sacrifice

At 50 he figures he'll be ready to retire and then he'll be getting back S102 month
