lying strike in Government cafe
terias.

Bishop Ready Urges
Spread Of Democracy
Throughout World

Preaching at pan-American
mass in St. Patrick's Church today
which drew many notables, includ-
ing nine Latin American Ambas-
sadors and high United States off,
cials, the Most Rev. Michael j.
Ready, bishop of Columbus, called
for extension of democracy through
out the world.
THE best guarantee for a world
order based on the moral law rests
with the adoption of true democ-
racy in all nations" he told the
congregation during the mass,
which was celebrated by the Most
Rev. Amleto Giovanni Cicognani,
apostolic delegate to the United
States.
"The chief threat to national or
international social order today lies
with the leaders of totalitarian
regimes who masquerade as democ-
racy-loving statesmen while pur-
suing the dictators role of deceit,
confusion and tyranny" he de-
clared.
Warning that certain principles
and certain kinds of institutions
need strong defense against at
tacks of some world planners who
seem to be shaping society in the
caricature of man." Bishop Ready
called on those devoted to the
church to defend her rights in be-
half of mans dignity and liberty" +"
The bishop declared that today
the dignity of the individual, the
sanctity of the home, the rights of
religion and the sovereignty of
States are generally disregarded by
an all-too-numerous type of poll
tician" He added that unless the
church declares its policies there
is little hope that her position will
be understood or that her rights
will be protected by others"
Bishop Ready said that the
Thanksgiving holiday asserts that
without God there can be no endur-
ing and just rule among men, and
that civic rule must ever be conso-
nant with the eternal rule" and
offered deep and abiding thanks"
that nations have saved their in
tegrity "after the cruel agony and
terrible stress of war"
The Most Rev. John M McNa-
mara, auxiliary bishop Of Baltimore
and Washington, presided.

Downey Moves
Bill
Ceiling Plan
Amendment Viii
Limit Top SoIory
To $4,000 q Year
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.

Al amendment to the Federal
pay bill to prevent top-flight Gov
ernment employees from receiving
more than $4,000 year is expected
to be offered shortly by Chairman
Downey of the Senate Civil Service
Committee.
Although personally opposed to
the amendment, Senator Downey is
offering it in an attempt to save
the pay bill, which calls for fiat
20 per cent basic wage increase for
Government workers.
The Californian agreed to the
amendment after he was informed
by various members of the Senate
that they would not vote for any
bill that would raise the salary Of
any Government Official over that
of their own. Members of Congress
receive $4,000 annually.
Recommended by Truman.
President Truman has recom-.
mended that members of Congress,
cabinet officials, Federal judges and
agency heads get $4,000 annual
salary boost, but the Senate Civil
Service Committee deferred action
on the request.
During hearings on the bill,
representatives of Government and
business emphasized that men in
high Federal positions received
salaries considerably below COM
parable jobs in private industry.
and efficiency would be improved
with higher wages by holding
and attracting able men. Senator
Downey favored President Truman's
suggestion, but the committe finally
deferred action and decided to hold
further hearings.
Salary "Bunching" Seen.
| However, the 20 per cent proposed
wage boost, while not covering Con-
gress, does affect cabinet members,
heads of agencies, members of
boards and commissions and all
other Federal employees whose
salaries are fixed by acts of Con-
gress. Any Government official
making s8,40o year or more, would
receive a salary in excess of $10-
600 If the 20 per cent wage in
crease were approved
Those opposed to the amendment
point out that it would tend to
bunch salaries of officials and their
subordinates at $4,000.
Senator Downey, sponsor of the
pay bill, expects to bring the meas
ure up for debate Monday.
