Members Of Cabinet
Slated 10 Testify for
Federal Pay Boost
ForrestoI, Anderson
And Clark to Stress
Poy as Efficiency Key
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

High administration officials
will appear before the Senate
Civil Service Committee to obtain
passage of the Federal pay bill
granting fiat 20 per cent wage
increases to Government en-
ployes and $4,000 a year annual
raises for members of Congress,
Cabinet officials, Federal judges
and agency heads, it was learned
today.
AS part of President Truman's ef-
fort to boost the entire Federal wage
structure from top to bottom, Secre-
tary of War Patterson, Secretary of
Navy Forrestal Secretary of Agri-
culture Anderson and Attorney Gen
eral Clark will stress the need for
higher Federal salary standards in
order to improve Government eff
cheney.
The cabinet officials are expected
to appear some time next week. The
committee resumes hearings at 10
am. Monday.
One amendment sponsored by the
administration and the Civil Service
Commission would remove the $10,-
600 limitation on civil service jobs
held by scientists and other profess
sional men and raise the maximum
pay to $4,000.
Civil Service Commissioner Arthur
s. Flemming, opening witness at the
hearing yesterday, stressed the diff
ffculty Of finding top-flight profes-
sional men who would take Govern
ment jobs at the current Federal
scale. He strongly urged that the
amendment be adopted.
Administration officials are inter-
ested in the possible effect the pro-
posed Federal pay raises might have
on wage negotiations between pri-
vate industry and labor.
They point out that President
Truman's Federal wage policy close
ly follows his recommendations in
his Tuesday night speech for "rea-
sonable wage" increases.
It was stressed, however, that the
20 per cent wage boost for Govern
ment employees should not be con-

Truman 'sIdea
For Industry
CIO Moy Ask Court
|. For Curb on Prices
Of New Autos
BY JAMES Y. NEWTON.

Federal labor officials said to-
day that President Truman's
support of a 20 per cent pay
raise for Government employees
reflected his views on action ex-
pected of private industry that
can afford to pay higher wages.
They said the wage-price policy
laid down by the President this week
mentioned no percentage increase
because obviously a single formula
could not be applied to all types OF
industry without involving inf1a-
tionary price adjustments. But, they
pointed out, Federal statistics show
that many groups could afford to
meet the Government recommended
ton.
Meanwhile. the Labor Depart
ment's Cancellation Service reported
settlement in October of 304 strikes
involving $4,000 workers.

for Mayor are Frank Costello and
Joe Adonis, the two biggest under

THE prospect of having a Mayor

Congressional Probe
OF Pearl Harbor Gets
Off 10 Stormy Start
COP Committee Members
Charge Democrats Block
Them From Records
By J. A. O'LEARY.

The congressional inveStiga-
ton of the Pearl Harbor attack
was off to a stormy start today,
with Republicans accusing the
Democrats of denying them &C
cess to Government files in their
search for evidence.
Two Republican members of the
Joint committee-Senators Brewster
of Maine and Ferguson of Michigan
took their charges to the floor of
the Senate late yesterday, and
touched off two hours of heated
debate, in which Democratic COM
mittee members insisted all peril
nent data would be explored when
the public hearings begin Novem-
ber Is.
Senator Brewsters specific COM
plant was that the committee, by
a party vote, had denied him per-
mission to go through certain Gov
ernment file cabinets, in the pres
ence of some one from the COM
mittee's legal staff, SO that he could
follow up reports reaching him that
some documents are missing.
Denies Papers Missing.
Chairman Barkley, Senate ma
jority leader, contended the inyesti-
CATION would never get anywhere IF
each member was authorized to be
private detective, boring around
in every department in Washing
ton" The Democratic leader also
asserted there is no information be-
fore the committee indicating that
any documents are missing.
Senators Brewster and Ferguson
insisted there are references to miss
ing papers in some of the earlier
departmental investiga tions of Pearl
Harbor
There have been rumors floating
around to the effect that papers are
missing" said Senator Barkley, "but
if there are any such, the committee
will find it out. If any one will tell
any individual Senator that any
paper about which he knows any
thing is missing, that person will be
called before the committee and
asked to give whatever information
he knows about the matter"
At another point in the debate
Senator Ferguson asserted that the
committees counsel, former At.
torney General william D. Mitchell
had taken it upon himself to say
what is competent and what is not
competent"
Cites Memorandum.
Senator Ferguson read from 9
memorandum, which, he said, the
committees attorney addressed te
the War Department on October %
asking the department to select one
or two witnesses to be examined
by the committee as to alleged delay!
in the completion of certain de.
