executive session Wednesday to re-
port out the Federal pay bill, will
restrict the lifting of the $4,000
Federal wage ceiling to those pro-
fessional men engaged in work Of
an essential military nature. This
will be done despite the administra-
tons request that the present sal
airy ceiling be lifted to include&all
outstanding professional men in the
Government.
The reason for this, one member
explained, Is the committees belief
that Congress will not pass any bill
which will raise the salaries of Gov
eminent officials above their own
$4,000 annual stipend.
But the committee doesn't believe
that single member of Congress
will vote against bill to raise the
salaries of our outstanding scientists
and technicians in Government who
are engaged in work of vital military
nature he said. Our national Sc
curity is at stake"
Although the committee has de-
cided not to include other profess
sional classifications in the lifting
of the pay ceiling, most of the men,
bers are sympathetic to the proposal
and intend to take it up at later
date, it was said.
Asked Raise for Others.
In urging the lifting of the pres
ent wage ceiling, Army and Navy
officials asked that it not be lin
tied to those engaged in military
work. They pointed out that top
flight administrators were needed to
supervise research work and as
serted that awkward situations
would result in instances where ad-
ministrators were in charge of men
who made more than they did.
The committees bill will author
lie two additional civil service
grades, one paying $4,000 year, the
other grade having a salary OF
$4,000 a year.
1t is expected that the committee
will vote out bill calling for a
fat II per cent raise for rank-and-
file Government employees. The
Senate-passed pay bill provides for
an overall II per cent increase
and doeS not provide for the addi-
ton Of two civil service grades.

DC. Man Reports Problems
Of UNRRA in GERMANY

Rehabilitation literally started
from the ground in Wertheim, Ger
many, where Peter Stanne, former
Federal Probation Officer in Wash
Iington and Baltimore, took charge
of welfare work among 4,50O dis
placed Poles.
In a report to UNRRA headquar-
tiers, he said it was necessary to
repair a bombed-out building to
get relief work under way.
Craftsmen among the DPS were
ordered to patch walls, mend the
roof and otherwise put it in shape
for offices and recreation facilities.
After repatriating most of these
persons, Mr.. Stanne has moved to
Korbach, Germany, as welfare Of

Thinks Peak Has Passed.
On the first point, Mr.. Hetzel ex-
planned that If the peak Of return
ing veterans has passed-and he
thinks it has-interviewers will be
able to spend more time with each
veteran. If there are no job open
ings in the files to meet his quail
f1cations, the interviewer will start
calling employers who have no job
orders on file until an opening is
located.
The LOB development" program
will take eight employer services
representatives" to 1900 Washing
ton employers within the next go
days.
These representatives are actual
ly salesmen-bent on convincing
employers that the USES now
boasts the richest pool of workers
in the city-the veterans who must
register with the USES in order
to draw their CT unemployment
compensation.
USES officials privately concede
that employers who were subject
to the hiring rules of the War Man.

and may have been told they were
non-essential" may look with a
jaundiced eye on the USES when
its representatives come hat-in-
hand to ask that the employers
list their job openings with the
USES.
Method Not Important.
On the other hand, the same
officials argue that the hiring rules
were designed to keep an employer
from having his labor pirated and,
anyhow, the USES isn't doing any
regulating any more.
I'VE don't care how the veterans
get jobs" explained Mr.. Hetzel.
They can follow the help wanted
ads or go from Office to Office. The
important thing is that they get
work and we think it would be
easier for both the veteran and the
employers if the jobs were listed
at the USES"
Mr.. Hetzel said If an employer
wants the USES to send him three
applicants for one job, the USES
will do so; that the USES will send
only men qualified for the jobs, and
that the USES will save an en-
ployer time and trouble by screening
out men lacking the qualifications
USES representatives selected for
the canvassing job include Mrs. Moe

ON JAN. 3 President Truman
" called on the American peo-
pie, as "the most powerful

work their influence on Con-

The response he has received
is probably the most stupen-
dous thing that has ever oc-
Cured in the history of gov
ernmental propaganda.
From the Japanese capital,
from Manila in the Philippines,
from the heart of occupied Ger
many, from Paris. and from
military camps ali over the
United States, that part of the
American people who are still
in uniform have shouted to Con-
gress in reply TO the Presidents
impassioned admonition:
"We want to 60 home.'

A MEXICAN diplomatic officials in
"A Washington are quoted by press
association representatives as pre-
dieting recognition by the United
States during the coming year of the
sovereignty of Soviet Russia over the
Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia
and Estonia.
This would be not merely con-
cession by the United States, as the
press association points out, but a
complete REVERSAL of American
policy.
When the three Baltic states were
occupied by Russian troops in 1910,
the United States government Off
cially and factually declared that the
annexation had been accomplished
by aggression and would never be
recognized by the United States.
Is this to be the NEXT appease-
ment of Russia by the government
of the United States?
HOW much FARTHER does the
H American government intend to
pursue its policy of appeasement7
We know how far it has already
been pursued-or DO we?
The Moscow agreements dis
closed that Russia was fully and
abjectly appeased in the Balkans,
gaining total domination and achiev-
ing virtual subjugation of Romania,
Hungary, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia.
The same agreements disclosed
that Russia was similarly appeased
on the issue of japanese occupation,
being given not only voice in the
control of Japan, but VETO over
any or all policies of the American
administration.
From the same source came the
further disclosure that Russia is to
participate in an international trus-
teeship for Korea, and in United
Nations commission for control of
atomic energy.
These constituted the AC-
KNOWLEDGED acts of appease-
ment, and are thus the ATTAINED
objectives of Russia.
But there are abundant signs
that the American government is
prepared to go BEYOND these ac-
knowledged acts of appeasement-if
it has not indeed ALREADY gone
beyond them.

Amusement of Russia

Russian sovereignty in the Baltic, so
authoritatively indicated, is only one
of these signs.
Secretary of State Byrnes, for
instance, has confessed disappoint-
ment and encouragement over the
failure of the Moscow conference to
reach an agreement on Iran.
But if there HAD been such an
agreement, what reason can there be
to doubt that it would have been
ANOTHER appeasement?
WHO is so naive as to believe
w Russia will EVER relinquish
the Iranian province of Azerbaijan,
which it now holds in subjugation?
Who believes that Russia does
not intend aggression against
Turkey, and eventual sovereignty
over, the Black Sea provinces which
are the richest part of Turkey and
constitute third of the entire Turk
ish nation?
Is the American government
going to appease Russia in all these
matters, as it has consistently and
abjectly done in all OTHER such
matters?
Secretary Byrnes has not in
formed the American people of his
intentions.
But surely the American people
have the right and duty to inquire
and KNOW about his intentions.
MIR. BYRNES processes to believe
4'A that he has gained an "under-
standing" with Russia through the
medium of appeasement.
In truth, he has only GIVEN IN
to Russia on all points, affirmed the
conquests of Russia and sealed the
doom of the helpless and hopeless
states coveted and subjugated by
Russia.
What does Mr. Byrnes think
America will gain through appease
ment of Russia, except the contempt
of Russia herself and the humiliation
of accepting responsibility for the
Russian crimes of aggression?
Why does Mr.. Byrnes not realize
that instead of appeasing Russia he
is BOWING to her, and achieving
nothing for America but the stain
on our hands of the wanton crimes
and tragedies enacted in the name of
RED FASCISM?
