House Group
Backs Higher
Overtime Pay
Time-und-u-HuIf
Method Approved
By Vote Of 7 to a

The House Civil Service Commit
tee today tentatively approved a re-
vised draft of the Senate pay in
crease bill for Federal and District
employees, more liberal than the
Senate measure in the treatment of
overtime.
BY vote of 7 to 4, the House
group sustained the recommended
ton OF subcommittee that over
time pay be figured at time and a
half, the same as Is required in
private industry. Under the present
law. which expires June 80, Govern
ment overtime is figured at time and
one-twelfth.
80 Per Cent Pay Increase.
The present method is equivalent
to a ZIG per cent pay increase
whereas full time-and- "a half would
be 80 per cent, as long as employees
are on the 48-hour week.
In addition to the overtime both
the Senate and House bills carry
increases in basic pay averaging 15.s
per cent.
These basic increases will be per-
manent, whereas the overtime is
expected to taper off as the war
draws to close. The President has
advised Chairman Ramspeck of the
House committee that the hours of
Government employees will be re-
duced in noncritical areas through
out the country.
Formal Vote Tomorrow.
The basic pay increases start at
20 per cent in the lowest brackets
up to $1,000, reaching the average
Of Is per cent at $2,400 a year and
becoming less as salaries go up
From $4,000 up to $1,000, the In
crease would be more than 10 per
cent, and over $1,000, between 5 and
10 per cent.
Mr.. Ramspeck said the committee
postponed a formal vote to report
the bill to the House until tomorrow
merely to have 1T reprinted with
minor amendments.
He will go before the Rules Com
mittee later this week for a special
rule to get the bill before the House
next week, in the hope of sending it
to the White House for signature
before July l.

7run1on.s Address to Security DELEGATES

The tert OF President Tru-
mana address to the delegates
to the United Nations Confer
ence on International Organi-
cation at San Francisco tollo,0s.. !.
The world has experienced
revival Of an old faith in the
everlasting moral force of JUS
tice. At no time in history has
there been a more important con-
ference, nor a more necessary
meeting, than this one in San
Francisco which you are opening
today.
On behalf of the American
people, I extend to you a most
hearty welcome.
President Roosevelt appointed
an able delegation to represent
the United States. I have COM
plete confidence in its chairman,
Secretary of State Stettinius, and
in his distinguished colleagues,
former Secretary >Cordell Hull,
Senator Connally, Senator VAN
denberg, Representative Bloom
and Representative Eaton, Gov.
Stassen and Dean Gildersleeve.
They have my confidence. They
have my support.
y Appeal to Principles.
In the name of a great hui
manitarian K one who surely is
with us today in spirit-I ear
nestly appeal to each and every
one of you to rise above per-
sonal interests and adhere to
those lofty principles, which
benefit all mankind.
Franklin D. Roosevelt gave his
life while trying to perpetuate
these high ideals. This confer
ence owes its existence, in large
part. to the vision and foresight
and determination of Franklin
Roosevelt.
Each OF you can remember
other courageous champions who
also made the supreme sacrifice,
serving under your flag. They
gave their lives so that Others
might live in security. They died
to insure justice. We must work
and live to guarantee justice-for
all.
You members of this confer
ence are to be the architects of
the better world. In your hands
rests our future. BY your labors
at this conference we shall know
If suffering humanity is to
achieve a just and lasting peace.
Let US labor to achieve a peace
which is really worthy Of their
great sacrifice. We must make
certain, by your work here, that
another war will be impossible.
Magnitude of Problem.
We who have lived through
the torture and the tragedy of
two world conflicts must realize
the magnitude of the problem
before US. We do not need far
sighted vision to understand the
trend in recent history. Its sig
niflcance is all too clear.
With r-increasing brutality
and destruction, modern warfare,
If unchecked, would ultimately
crush all civilization. We still
have a choice between the al
ternatives: The continuation of
international chaos-or the es-
tablishment of world organiza-
tion for the enforcement of
peace.

ton and hard work, We ahall find
an adequate answer to the prob
lem. history has put before U.s..
Realizing the scope OF Our task
and the imperative need for sue
cess, we proceed with humility
and determination.
BY harmonious cooperation,
the United Nations repelled the
onslaught of the greatest ag-
gregation OF military force that
was ever assembled In the long
history of aggression. Every ma
ton now fighting for freedom is
giving according to its ability
and opportunity.
Victory In Peace.
We fully realize today that VIC
tory in war requires a mighty
united effort. Certainly, victory
In peace calls for. and must re-
ceive, an equal effort.
Man has learned long ago that
1t is impossible to live unto him.
SELF This same basic principle
applies today to nations. We were
not isolated during the war. We
dare not become isolated in
peace.
All will concede that in order
to have good neighbors, we must
also be good neighbors. That ap-
plies in every field of human en-
deavor.
For lasting security, men Of
good will must unite and or
ganize. Moreover, If our friendly
policies should ever be consid-
cred by belligerent leaders as
merely evidence Of weakness, the
organization We establish must
be adequately prepared to meet
any challenge.
Differences between men, and
between nations. will always re-
main. In fact. If held within rea-
sonable limits, such disagree
ments are actually wholesome.
All progress begins with differ
ences of opinion and moves
onward as the differences are
adjusted through reason and mu-
tual understanding.
In recent years our enemies

peace In the old sense Of that
term. It Is not our assignment to
settle specific questions of terri
tories, boundaries, citizenship and
reparations.
This conference will devote its
energies and its labors exclusively
to the single problem of setting
up the essential organization to
keep the peace. You are to write
the fundamental charter.
Our sole objective, at this de-
cisive gathering is to create the
structure. We must provide the
machinery which will make fu-
ture peace, not only possible, but
certain.
Delicate Machine.
The construction of this deli
cate machine is far more COM
plicated than drawing boundary
lines on a map, or estimating
fair reparations. or placing rea-
sonable limits upon armaments.
Your task must be completed
first.
We represent the overwhelm-
ing majority OF all mankind. We
speak for people who have en-
dured the most savage and devas-
tating war ever inflicted upon
innocent men, women ana chill
dren.
We hold powerful mandate
from our people. They believe we
will fulfill this obligation. We
must prevent, If human mind,
heart and hope can prevent it,
the repetition of the disaster
from which the entire world will
suffer for years to come.
If we should pay merely lip
service to inspiring ideals. and
later do violence to simple Jus
tice. We would draw down upon
us the bitter wrath of genera
tions yet unborn.
We must not continue to sac
rifice the flower of our youth
merely to check madmen, those
who in every age plan world
domination. The sacrifices of
our youth today must lead.
through your efforts, to the
building for tomorrow of a mighty
combination of nations founded
upon justice for peace.
Power of Justice.
Justice remains the greatest
power on earth.
To that tremendous power
alone will we submit.
Nine days ago I told the Con-
gress OF the United States, and
now repeat it to you:
Nothing is more essential to
the future peace of the world
than continued cooperation of
the nations which had to muster
the force necessary to defeat the
conspiracy OF the Axis powers to
dominate the world.
While these great states have
a special responsibility to en-
force the peace, their RESPONSE
bility is based upon the obliga-
tlons resting upon all states,
large and small, not to use force
in international relations. except
in the defense OF law. The re-
sponsibility OF the great states is
to serve, and not dominate the
peoples of the world"
