immediate restraining order sought
by Greyhound Terminal of Wash

for temporary injunction for 10

'Rank-and-FiIe
Pay Raise First
Feels u. S. Workers
Need Aid Before
High Executives
BY JOSEPH YOUNG.


Legislation to boost wages of Fed
eral employees by 20 per cent will
receive preferential treatment over
proposals to raise salaries of top
fight Government officials by $l0,-
600 annually, Chairman Downey OF
the Senate Civil Service Committee
indicated last night.
Although sympathetic to Presi-
dent Truman's request that men,
bers of Congress, cabinet officials
agency heads and Federal judges
receive substantial increases in pay
Senator Downey expressed the view
that the plight of the average Gov
ernment worker deserved primary
consideration.
Sponsor of the Federal pay bill
now the subject of hearings before
the Senate Civil Service Committee
Senator Downey said it was essen
tial that Federal employees be
granted wage increases to meet
increased living costs.
Take Home Pay Shrinks.
The Californian pointed out that
the take-home pay of the average
Government. worker was less than
it was before the recent pay increase
bill passed in July. Loss of over
time pay, incident to a return to
the 40-hour week, accounts for the
reduced take-home pay. he said.
Senator Downey said the pro-
posed amendment to the bill to
grant top Federal officials $4,000
annual increases has some merit.
but he would not predict what the
sentiment of Congress would be to-
ward the proposal.
opposition to pay increases has
been expressed by Senator Byrd.
Democrat, of Virginia, leader of the
economy bloc in Congress. The
Virginian said he was opposed to
any wage increase until there was
more substantial reduction in
Government personnel.
z Sees Ability Plentiful.
Disputing the contention of Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur S.
Flemming that higher wage stand
ards are needed to secure men of
ability for important Government
jobs, Senator Byrd expressed the
view that there never has been any
difficulty in securing highly compe-
tent men as cabinet officers, Fed
eral judges or agency heads.
Capitol Hill sources regard as re-
mote the possibility that Congress
will vote itself a 100 per cent in
crease in salary at this session, in
view of the controversy between
private industry and labor over wage
policy. With congressional elections
coming up next year, the legislators
don't want to put themselves on the
spot with the voters by giving them
selves the sharp salary increase, OBJ
servers feel.
Hearings on the pay bill will be
resumed at 10 am. tomorrow with
representatives of Government en-
ployes unions appearing before the
committee. After the union officials,
leading Government officials will tes-
tify regarding the legislation.

One hundred and forty years
ago two men who were destined to
open the "west" to the then young
United States were traveling
through Montana. Their travel did
not take them over w~ell-marked
highways, established railways or
along the beam of the great air
ways.
The two men and the complement
under their command were travelling
through the unknown.
Capt. Meriwether Lewis, the SOM
bre and ever-lonesome, and the
bouyant, Irish-witted Capt. William
Clark, guided the memorable party
of explorers. Their hardships,
hopes and success are known to
history as the Lewis and Clark eX-
petition.
They followed the great Missouri
river westward, explored and named
many of its tributaries. Some of
those names still hold today.
