WASHINGTON, Aug 10 -
iPl - Japan must be integrated
before she can be dislntegrated
in the opinion Of Chairman
Thomas Of the Senate Military
Committee.
The Utah Democrat who spent
wears in Japan and China as a
Mormon missionary told report
erS today that the Japanese
armies outside the home islands
are subject to little or no central
government control.
Before you can bring about
the defeat OF Japan you must
bring about the unity OF these
outlying generals, ~ Thomas said.
Many OF the Japanese soldiers
in China and elsewhere are
living far better than they ever
did in Japan itself
Saying he liked TO use the
term unity IN surrender III
the weekly and monthly RADIO
broadcasts he makes to Japan,
Thomas declared that surrender
can come only from the Jap
anese people themselves.
As convincer. he rates per-
suasive propaganda as more ef-
fective than either the atomic
bomb or Russia entry into

Lawyers Guild Urges
House 10 Vote 70 Pei.
Raise in Federal Pay

Calling the Senate-passed Federal
pay raise bill a 'watered- d-down" ver-
sion of the original Downey bill and
tragic disappointment" to Gov
ernment workers, the District Chap
ter of the National Lawyers Guild
in letter yesterday to Representa-
tive Randolph, chairman designate
of the House Civil Service Commit
tee, called for restoration of the
originally planned 20 per cent salary
increase.
The letter said the Guild had
adopted a resolution requesting this
action by the House at meeting
held here on December 20.
1.-THE 20 per cent pay increase"
the letter to Mr.. Randolph said, lis
an irreducible minimum needed to
safeguard the economic security of
Federal workers and to assure a
high standard of competence
throughout the Federal establish
ment.
Under the seductive banner of
economy the Senators who forced
adoption of this deplorable COM
promise cloaked a much more dam
gerous aim to cripple the ability of
Federal agencies to retain expert
enced personnel and to depress wage
rates throughout the country"
The attorneys said that many
men Of their profession were leav-
ing the Government service either
because they felt "demoralized" or
because they were receiving attrac-
tive offers from law firms and in
duStry.
The Senate version of the pay
raise legislation would increase
Government salaries an average of
II per cent, as compared with the
20 per cent provided in the orig
inal Downey bill.
