TROUBLE LOOMS
ON BRITISH LOAN

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29-(P -
Some friends of the adrninistra-
ton in Congress today foresaw
trouble ahead for the proposed
British loan, and privately con-
coded it might be defeated if
brought to an early vote.
The proposed 81, 400, 0oo,0 900 cred

national problem, following COM

House Banking committee. which
is expected to handle the loan leg
islation, told newspapermen that
''it's going to be difficult job"
It will need long study in Congress
before a vote is taken, he said.
A check of banking committee
members disclosed the feeling that
an early vote might be fatal. They
declined, however, to speak for
publication, hopeful that the case
to be presented by the Treasury
Department may swing over many
votes now doubtful.

a petition on the loan proposal.

If the loan legislation comes to

going to have full hearings. We
are going to hear all sides of the

what the farm and the labor or

people to know what contributing

Public For IS Per Cent Pay Raise
COMPROMISE In General Motors kow
Big Majority Feels Boost
Necessary But Differs
On The Amount
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
Of Public Opinion


PRINCETON, N. j., Dec.
29.-White a substantial ma
jority of the voting public
thinks that the workers in
General Motors should be CIV
en- an increase in wages, there
is considerable difference OF
opinion as to how much that
raise should be.
The majority do not sympathlze
with the union demand for a 81
per cent wage boost. IT the public
were settling the strike, the wage
raise would be approximately 10
per cent.
These facts are revealed in a
coast to coast survey by the In
Ititute which probed various as
poets of the General Motors issue.
The question of whether Gener-
al Motors workers deserve a raise
in paw seems to have settled itself
decisively in the affirmative in the
public mind, for the survey hnds
that 60 per cent of the voting pop
ulation agree with the idea that a
pay boost should be granted. The
company itself has already shown
sympathy toward the idea of a
raise by offering 10 per cent IN
crease. The crux Of the matter, SO
far as the public and the Presl-
dents investigating board are con-
:erned, is the question OF how much
the raise should be.
The matter of the pay raise was
out to voters in the following way:
do you. think workers in Gen
eral Motors should get more pay?'
The national vote, and the vote
by various occupation groups, are
shown below.
