Reaction in Congress
Favorable 10 Higher
Pay for Army-Navy
BY the Assoeio,sd Press

The armed forces put in bid to-
day for 20 per cent pay raise and
found first congressional reaction
favorable, although the increase
probably would cost $500 ,oo0, 900
year.
To many lawmakers reluctant
about continuing the draft, the pro-
posed increase in pay and allow
ances for all military personnel rep
resented a fresh inducement for
voluntary enlistments-and the more
volunteers, the less demand on Sc
lective service.
The increase was recommended
jointly by Secretary of War Patter-
son and Secretary of the Navy For
restal, who said the objective was to
bring pay schedules more in line
with the increased living COSTS" as
we'll as to spur the current recruit
ing campaign.
The recommendation has admin
istration blessing, according to serv-
ice officials who would not be quoted
directly. They said it is in line with
the White House-approved policy
for wage increases in industry.
Army to Require 800 Million.
These officials estimated that be-
tween $500 ,00o, 900 and $400 0,00o, 900
of the resultant increase would be
required for the projected peace
time Army Of 100000, approx
mately $200, ,000, 900 for a 500,000-
man Navy and the remainder spread
out among other services.
The pay recommendation entered
the postwar defense picture as both
Senate and House spared cautiously
on the subject Of extending the
draft beyond May is. Sensitive to
the fact this is an election year,
each chamber seemed anxious for
the other to take the initiative.
Senator Johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado told a reporter he is pre-
pairing legislation to transfer re-
employment duties Of Selective
Service to the Veterans Administra-
ton.
This would allow the wartime
draft to expire" Senator johnson
explained, "and at the same time
allow Congress to extend its re-
employment provisions for returning
veterans"
Senate to Wait on House.
Chairman Thomas OF the Senate
Military Affairs Committee is openly
opposed to extending the wartime
draft Of manpower. But he added
the Senate group will wait and see
what the House does.
Chairman May said he will call
House military affairs committee
men together next week for a dis
cussion. 1t is known that a ma
jority of the House committee op-
poses extension of the draft.
But Senator Thomas gave quick
and warm support to the proposed
pay increases.
1T is only justice and in line
with other increases that have been
granted to white collar workers and
he said.
Senator johnson also said he IA
vored the service pay boost "for
enlisted men and officers up to the
grade Of major"

Frank |. Grove, s.,
Boulder Dam Builder,
Dies in California
BY ths Assoeioisd Press

REDDING, Calf, Feb. 27.-Frank
T. Grove, 50, who superintended the
building Of 10 dams, including the
great Boulder and Shasta dams, died
last night.
During some four decades de-
voted to harnessing rivers in the in
terest of flood control, irrigation
and hydroelectric power Develop
ment, Mr.. Grove came to be known
among engineers as the Nations
champion dam builder. To his
credit stands some Of the greatest
monoliths on earth.
A Canadian by birth-although he
claimed Maine as his native State
he was the son Of a construction
engineer who specialized on fac
tories.
Worked in Yellowstone.
After taking degree in engineer
ing at the University of Maine in
1905, Mr.. Grove went to work for
the Bureau Of Reclamation in the
Interior Department and first was
employed on the building of a dam
across the Yellowstone River in
Montana. During his long career
since then he had supervised the
construction of such giants as Boul-
der, Parker, Bonneville, Grand
Coulee, Shasta and Friant.
Mr.. Grove was known in the en-
gineering world for the novel and
ingenious methods which he en-
ployed to speed construction. Find
ing too slow the old method of using
trestles and tracks to pour concrete,
he devised plan of swinging cables
over the chasm to be blocked and
pouring concrete from overhead
buckets. He first used this system
in the construction of Arrowrock
Dam across the Boise River in Ida
no, which, at the time of Its build
ing in 1915, was the worlds highest.
Cut Schedule Is Months.
BY employing the same method
he was able to complete Boulder
Dam rs months ahead of scheduled
construction time. Some engineers
maintain that without Mr.. Groves
overhead cables, Boulder could
never have been built.
After leaving the Bureau of Rec
lamation, Mr.. Grove spent most of
his career with the Utah Construc-
ton Co., but joined the Pacific Con-
struction Co. in 1898 when 1t re-
ceived the bid for Shasta.
Mr.. Grove was member of the
Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity, the
Episcopal Church and the Masonic
Order.
