Federal Pay Raise Bill
Action Held Unlikely
Until Next Spring
Romspeck Says House
Committee Will Woit
For Senute Action
By JOSEPH YOUNG.

Government workers will have
to wait until next spring at least
before any pay raise legislation
for them can be enacted by Con-
gress, it appeared today, as
Chairman Ramspeck of the
House Civil Service Committee
announced that his group will
not take up the wage increase
measure until 1t is passed by the
Senate.
Although approved yesterday by
the Senate Civil Service Committee,
the measure, which calls for a fiat
20 per cent wage increase for Fed
eral employees, isn't expected to be
taken up for Senate consideration
until after the Christmas recess.
A bitter Senate battle over the
measure appears certain. Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, leader
Of the economy BLOC in Congress,
is expected to lead the fight against
the bill. Even if the bill were quick
ly passed, pay bill supporters feel
that it will take another few months
for the House Civil Service Commit
tee to hold It's hearings on the
measure and then bring it up for
House consideration.
Ramspeck Dulls Hopes.
The bills supporters had hoped
that the House Civil Service Com
mittee would hold hearings imme-
diately after the Senate group, the
same as the procedure followed In
the enactment OF last July,s Fed
eral pay bill. But Mr.. Ramspeck
said today he would await final
Senate action before considering
the merits of the legislation. Mr..
Ramspeck was co-sponsor Of the
last Federal pay bill.
Meanwhile, Senator Byrd, a men,
Der of the Senate Civil Service Com
mittee. charged last night that
Chairman Downey had refused his
request to hold additional hearings
on the pay measure.
II have never before known the
chairman of q committee to refuse
to a membep Of his committee an
opportunity to have witnesses ex-
amined on important legislation
Senator Byrd declared. The vir-
ginian said he had sought to have
the committee call the heads Of vari-
GUS Government agencies to find out

Threat by De GauI|e
To Quit Presidency
Causes Paris Furore
Demands Of Communists
Over Cabinet Selection
Reason for His Action
BY the Associated Press.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-Gen. Charles
de Gaulle's Office announced to-
day he had decided to resign as
interim President of France be-
cause of a deadlock with Com
munists over formation of gov
eminent, but frantic negotia-
tons in the capital indicated a
last-minute effort was being
made to prevent the generals
retirement.
The resignation had not been sub
mitted to Felix Gouin, president Of
the Constituent Assembly, an hour
after 1t was reported due.
Ofncials and members of the as
sembly were engaged in hurried ne
gotiations throughout the afternoon
after Gen. de Gaulle's decision was
disclosed by his aides.
Press Conference damned.
A press conference called at the
Ministry of Information was jam
med by reporters expecting to hear
a communique announcing the gen.
erals resignation. Instead an ON
cial Of the ministry read brief
statement:
mo letter has been presented by
Gen. de Gaulle to the president of
the chamber. No official commune
que has been issued by the president
OF the government"
He added informally that IF on
cial news is issued it will be issued
here" probably within "the next
hour and half"
This statement was made at II 80
am, EST.
Previously, Gen. de Gaulle's Office
had announced that he had decided
to resign and that the resignation
would be placed in the chambers
hands at noon EST. The assembly
had been expected, on the basis Of
that announcement, to meet tomor-
row to act on the resignation either
to accept it and elect a new Presi-
dent or reject it.
Assembly Not Convoked.
Shortly before 1890 pm. (EST)
however, officers of the Constituent
Assembly met and decided not to
convoke the assembly, another indi-
cation that strong efforts were being
made to prevent the hero of French
resistance from giving up the helm
Both Communist and Socialist
deputies held meetings. The Com
munists voted confidence in their
leaders and their stand, while the
Socialists reafiirmed their willing
ness to join only q three-party
government in which the Commu-
nists, Socialists and the Catholic
Popular Republican party would be
linked in executive responsibility.
Gen. de Gaulle's decision grew out
Of q demand of the Communist
party, most important single politi-
cal group in the newly elected Con-
stituent Assembly, for key cabinet
posts in the proposed three-par
coalition government.
Gen. de Gaulle was elected unani-
mously by the Constituent Assembly
Tuesday to serve as President dur
ing the creation of the Fourth Re-
public. The general then shed his
uniform for civilian clothing.

apparently were dictated by the
Axis governments as a matter
of policy.
He made the assertion in a
speech to a closed session of the
Remember commission, and it
was viewed as supporting a gen.
eral belief that the victorious
powers would try to pin war
guilt on Axis governments as
such on a blanket basis.
His address, part of which was
released through the Ministry of
Information, urged the estab-
lishment of a national recording
office in London to coordinate
the separate findings of the
member nations in their inves-
legations of war crimes.
IDENTIFY GROUPS
"While evidence in possession
Of one national office might be
insufficient to identify persons
responsible for a crime, all the
evidence, when collated might
very vel identify all of the per-
sons"
Col. Hodgson limited that there
would be support within the
commission for a plan recon-
mended by Judge Samuel Rosen-
man, White House advisor, for a
pool indictment of such terror
organizations as the Gestapo
and SIS elite Guard).
by this central recording"
Hodgson said, lit could be shown
that particular organizations or
units had Systematically COM
mitted war crimes.
Constant recurre nce OF
crimes committed by particular
organizations or units is itself
evidence that they are criminal
organizations and that all their
members are responsible for the
crimes, either as principals or
accessories.
ALSO, in other cases, It must
be assumed that the organization
or unit commanders were parties
TO these crimes, since they must
have had knowledge of them"
He disclosed that there we're
some weaknesses in the present
commission setup.
For example, he said, the Is
member nations were perform
ing functions in searching out
war criminals separately and
without regular liaison with
other national offices or with
the commission acting for Rus
STA"
Thus" he continued, "when
the crimes were detected and
investigated by these 16 opera
tional agencies the information
and evidence we're filed in 16
separate and independent offices.
Except for the government it.

eminent had knowledge or ac-

All Captured Villagers Now Accounted for

i Forty Aleut natives Of remote At tn Island, captured in the first Japanese invasion of American soil, have at last been all accounted for
 The Alaska Native Service office here has been officially notified of the names of 25 Attu survivors of Nipponese imprisonment and of g others who died while prisoners-of- war of the enemy. The roll of vic tins is topped by the name of Mike Hodikoff, Chief of the Attu island CTS
 The total of 47 names includes those of four infants, born in i'm prisonment, all of whom succumb- ed to the rigors of internment.
 Survivors are:
 Alfred Prokopioff, Mary Golodoff, Clean Golodoff (childD, Alfred Co., lodoff (childD Alexy Prossoff. Eliz- abeth Pursoff Thecla Golodoff (child), Sergi Artumonoff, Mike To- kanin, Parascovia Lokanin, John Hodikoff, Clean Golodoff, John Go- lodoff.

 Those who died during the im- prisonment were:

 Of the 25 survivors, the ANS office here reports that only few are fit to return to their former life in the Aleutians. A considerable number are now hospitalized while several are minor orphans who have been or will be placed in schools.
 Fred Geeslin. ANS Assistant Sup erintendent, who recently returned from inspection of resettlement in the Islands. revealed that Atka svil- lagers have invited the returning Attus into their community which is being rebuilt into much-improv- ed settlement The Atkans would consolidate the two peoples and the trapping rights of the two villages. Both the Attus and Atkans have very valuable trapping rights on the prolific blue fox islands of the outer chain.
 Since the Attu population has been halved and the adult male pop ulation reduced to eight, of whom not all are fit to return, it is doubt ed that establishment of the sep arate Attu community would be suc- cessful.
 The roll of those who died as pris- oners of Nippon was submitted on November 27, by Mike Lokanin, one of the Attu survivors.
