Calls
Meeting on
Pay Hike for Congress,
Porley uesdoy Expected
To Link Move With
Higher Scientist SuIuries
By Joseph Young

A strategy meeting to discuss
ways of pushing through legisla-
ton calling for $1,000 year
wage increase for members of
Congress and top flight Govern
ment officials has been called
by the administration, it was
learned today.
The meeting will be held at 9 am.
Tuesday in the Offices of Leslie
Biff1e, secretary of the Senate, and
will be conducted by R. R. thinner
man, administrative assistant to
President Truman.
Expected to attend the session
are Senator La Toilette, Progress
sive, of Wisconsin, and Representa-
tive Monroney, Democrat, of Okla
homa, co-chairman of the Joint
Committee to Reorganize Congress;
Chairman Downey of the Senate
Civil Service Committee, Repre-
sentative Jackson, Democrat, of
Washington, chairman of the House
Civil Service Subcommittee which
last week concluded hearings on
the Federal pay bill; Harold D.
Smith, director of the budget; Civil
Service Commissioner Arthur S.
Flemming and Sterilization Direc-
tor Chester Bowles.
Timing" Held Essential.
The purpose of the meeting is to
coordinate plans to work for two
objectives: Passage of legislation
granting members of Congress S., 900
a year pay raises, and the addition
of two civil service grades to raise
the maximum Federal wage from
So. 300 to $4,000 a year.
Those invited to the conference
were told that timing" was essen
tial in obtaining these objectives.
Mr. Zimmerman is reported to have
said that wage raises for Congress
and top scientists and other pro-
fessional men in Government should
be considered together, or neither
group will get the pay boost.
The request made by the Admin
istration and War and Navy Depart
ment officers for two additional
civil service grades for scientists and
other professional men in the in
terests of national security and more
efficient Government is now under
consideration by Mr.. Jackson's COM
mittee in connection with the Fed
eral pay bill. The suggestion to
raise the salaries of members of
Congress from $4,000 to $4,000 a
year came last Monday from the La
Toilette -Monroney Committee.
Scientists Going to Industry.
Administration officials feel that
Congress will not pass any legisla-
ton which will give some Federal
officials higher salaries than mem
bers of Congress. That is why an
atempt is being made to link the
two wage boost proposals. It is
felt that if Congress votes itself a
raise, it will also authorize raises
for top-fight Government officials.
The administration is reported to
be concerned over the continued
loss to the Government of the Ma

Charges by Russians
On Bulgaria Increase
Tension With j. :.
U. S. Reported Drafting
Answer to Accusation
Thot Pact Is Violated
(Tert of Russian Note on Page AS. J
BY the Associo,ed Press

New tension beset troubled
Russo-American relations today
with Radio Moscow charging the
United States violated Big
Three agreement on Bulgaria
and is working to sabotage it.
The State Department has not
yet acknowledged receipt of the
sharp note from the Kremlin, but
the Soviet broadcast reported it al
ready had been delivered, and re-
sponsible officials here said pri-
vately that reply already was be-
ing drafted
The development capped an un-
easy week which already has seen
the United States register protests
with Moscow on the situations in
Iran and Manchuria, in line with
the new sterner policy for interna-
tional relations.
A State Department spokesman
said there probably would be no
official comment on the Soviet
blast until Secretary Byrnes returns
to Washington. Mr.. Byrnes was re-
ported to be at his home in Spar
tanburg, S. c., for the week end.
Officials admitted privately, how
ever, that restoration of Bulgaria
to global list of trouble spots
which may possibly extend to in
clude Turkey had considerably
widened the gulf of misunderstand-
ing between this country and Rus
sia.
Development of Affair.
The Bulgarian affair developed
this way: -,
At the Moscow conference of
Foreign Ministers, it was agreed
Russia should give friendly ad-
vice" to Bulgaria to broaden it's
Communist-dominated government
with addition of two members from
opposition parties.
Oppositionists refused cabinet
posts subsequently offered, how
ever, on grounds they would be
near figureheads with no real
power.
Thereupon, the Bulgarian gov
ernment-with Russian backing
declared it had no further respon-
sibility for carrying out the Mos
cow decision.
In a communication to Bulgaria
made public Tuesday. the United
Stated sided with the Bulgarian
'oppositionists.
1t said the United States never
understood that pressure was to be
applied to opposition parties to
nominate two candidates for only
pro forma" inclusion in the gov
ernment-in other words, with no
real functions to perform.
Furthermore. the communication
said, the United States held the
view that the participation of the
oppositionists should be under con-
ditions agreeable to both the gov
ernment and the opposition.

Wedemeyer Acts to Learn
Monchurio Responsibility

SHANGHAI, Mar. 9 [P).-Lt. Gen.
Albert c. Wedemeyer said today he
has taken appropriate steps, as
theater commander, to ascertain my
responsibility in Manchuria.
Replying to correspondents ques-
tions at a press conference, the
China theater commander said Man
churia always has been considered
part of his command. That vast
Northeastern Chinese territory still
is largely Russian dominated.
Asked what is his responsibility
regarding the repatriation of Jap
anese in Manchuria, Gen. Wede-
meyer refused to reply, stating that
even Secretary of State Byrnes had
given mo clearcut answer" to that.
Deplores Treatment of Newsmen.
Told that the Soviet commandant
Of Dairen had refused to honor Gre
dentials of China theater CORE
spondentS, Gen. Wedemeyer said
that during his Is months as COM
he had not Disseminated
newsmen of all nationalities
land I think my correspondents
should receive the same treatment
from other countries and other gen.
erals.
1--WE are allies. We are friends"
he continued, referring to the
United States and Russia, "A cor
respondent, as long as he is on my
team, should be treated by the
Soviets as 7 treat theirs-even
though he is critical, but as long
as he is not dishonest or unfair"
Gen. Wedemeyer said that if the
Russians had not yet been advised
of the American plan for depatri-
ating Manchurian Japanese they
certainly will be in the very near
future"
Japs Sent to Work Camps.
Newsmen just returned from Man
churia-where some were held in
communicate in both Mukden and
Changchun. and where their move
ments were restricted by Russian
commanders - reported that all
japanese prisoners of war have been,
by Soviet acknowledgement, sent to
work camps in Siberia or the Lake
Baikal area. The newsmen said the
Russians have no repatriation pro-
gram in mind.
Gen. Wedemeyer said that any
word regarding the dispatching of
Slno-American truce teams into
would have to come from
Gen. George C.. Marshall, special
American envoy, who expects to
leave for the United States next
week to confer with President Tru-
man.
Gen. Wedemeyer said he had no
plans to visit Manchuria soon and
knows that Gen. Marshall has none.
The possibility OF an overture to
the Russian commander in Man
churia in the interests of permitting
American military officers to enter
that area was mentioned earlier
amidst unconfirmed reports of a
large-scale Soviet troop withdrawal
north from Mukden.
A source close to Gen. Mar
shall said an invitation to the
Russian commander to appoint
Soviet representatives on truce teams
for Manchuria might overcome op-
position to American entry.
The reports of the withdrawal
from Mukden came from the Chinese
Central News Agency, which said %
Russian troop trains had left that
largest Manchurian city for the
north since Thursday. The reports
suggested that the long delayed
withdrawal of Soviet forces from
Manchuria in favor of the Chinese
may have begun.
