FEDERAL workers seek higher p
WASHINGTON, Jan. q After
an. l, take home pay of the har-
assed government workers, those
fctunate enough to survive the
var service period" cuts, will be
increased a couple Of quarters due
to the decrease in the rate of with
holding taxes. Paid now every two
weeks instead of bi-monthly, the
take home checks are lower than
those of last year when there was
also overtime pay. Workers are
looking forward, however, to the
promised increase now under consid-
Grafton in congress.
Sen. Byrd says that an II per
cent increase is sufficient to meet
the needs of the workers. The CIO
demands a flat 80 per cent increase
from the lower paid to the higher
paid to make government work at
tract the best available.
A bitter fight looms on the in
crease on congress- return and all
efforts are being made to secure the
80 per cent increase for the under
paid workers.

new YORK BANS VETS
HOUSING jim CROW

NEW YORK, Dec. % (ANP)-
Both the city and the state, in police
statements made here have assured
all veterans seeking housing in
newly acquired facilities that there
would be no discrimination on the
basis of race, creed or color in the
selection of tenants.
AS a result of overtures made to
the federal government in recent
weeks, barracks in and around New
York City formerly occupied by the
Army and Navy, have been made
available, rent free, to authorities
for coping with the stringent hous-
ing problem that has developed here
with the return of thousands of vet
Grams.
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey told
press conference that in these facili-
ties which are being converted by
the state government 81 insist that
our policy is no discrimination" He
made it abundantly clear that he
would not countenance any at
tempts to deprive otherwise eligible
home-seekers of the opportunity to
move into the converted dwellings.
Mayor-elect William O'Dwyer's
Emergency Housing committee dis
closed that it too was pursuing a
similar policy. The position was re-
vealed when a member of the COM
mittee said that the question had
been discussed at a meeting of the
group and that lit was unanimously
decided to omit (mention of it from
the report because of the obvious
policy of no discrimination laid
down by the state and city,"

not once asked to dance. Before the
campaign got underway, his press
secretary, Charles Ross, gave it out
that President Truman expected to
make some speeches at strategic
points. In order to forewarn those
whose urgent requests would have to
be- declined, it was explained that he
would restrict his appearances to
some three or four. OF course, New
York was high on the list and it was
to be expected, as a matter of course,
that his own State of Missouri would
be one of the favored ones.
But what happened was like moth
ing that had ever occurred previously
in American political history. No one
wanted the President of the United
States to make single speech any
where His record constituted enough
Of load as 1t was. Democratic lead
ers everywhere were busy mailing up
smallpox signs so that he would not
be tempted to wander in their direc-
ton.
Not Wanted In New York.
In New York State 1t was frankly
said that James Mead and Herbert
Lehman were having trouble enough
of their own-and indeed they were,
especially after Henry Wallace had
pulled a boner that is bound to be-
come historic, the Sunday night be-
fore election when in speech in
New York City he conceded Mr..
Meads defeat for Governor.

to be suspected that, as has been the

Nations Assembly are Wag1ng over
the choice Of q permanent home
site.
Honestly. one would think that
the men were q phoney group Of
wrestlers arguing about a referee,
or a baseball team all but coming
to blows over an Interpretation Of
the ground rules. Are there no Big
men-Big with a capital B-work-
ing toward world peace? Are they
all little fellows, with bright little
beaver eyes fastened on the money,
the prestige, the security, the COM
fort and the luxury that go with a
permanent job with the U. N?
Fighting Is Resumed.
Let's hope not, but the behavior
so far Is far from comforting. You
would think that adult men, so
soon after a war which left crosses
scattered all over the face of the
earth, would welcome the oppor-
tunity. the privilege, to try to bring
an end to fighting. But no. They
no sooner gather than they bare
fangs, double up fists, and fight
from breakfast until sundown.
They don't like New York. They
don't like Geneva. They must
have a certain cline. The dis
tance from here to yonder must
be just so many miles, and not an
inch more. The latitude must be
this and the longitude that. The
hills must roll a certain way and
the valleys must be just green and
fertile enough, but not fertile or
green too much. The night clubs
must be close. but not too close
and the smart shops must be
within limousine distance in order
not to inconvenience the ladies
Wine must flow, but the birds
must not chirp at night. Rhumba
gourds must rattle, but not after
q certain hour.
Generous Offers Made.
The United States Of America has
done its best to meet the U. N.
boys q little better than halfway.
A New York real estate property
worth millions has been offered.
So has one Of the lovely towns of
the world, San Francisco. But the
U. N.'ers can't come to an agree
ment. The chilli powder in these
places is not hot enough for the
Latin Americans and the sauce isn't
rich enough for the Europeans, or
something. Whatever is the matter,
they don't want what we have to
offer.
What is the answer to such peo-
pie? I wouldn't know, but If I
were locked in a room and told
I couldn't get out until I offered
a few suggestions, I would start
by suggesting that the present dele
gates be given r9one-way trip

being too drastic, I would propose
that some honest man be chosen
to stand up before them and tell
them that what the world is look

Elsewhere, when all audience could

speech of President Roosevelt.
This brilliant strategy was child
of the teeming brain Of that tran
scendent political leader, the Honor
able Robert E. Hannegan. In his
first speeches In the campaign he
studiously undertook to distract at
tention from Mr.. Truman to Mr..
Roosevelt.
1t used to be automatic in cam
paign to try to develop strength out
of weakness, and this has often been
done by boldly attacking instead of
engaging in a fast-moving rear
guard action. BY exalting Mr..

his President and party leader.

The more one thinks Of 1t, the bet
ter this opportunity appears. It Is
not only the self-respecting course
for Mr.. Truman but the one from
which the most personal satisfac-
ton can be derived. If once he
divests himself of all suspicion OF
personal and political interests, his
influence and Importance will pro-

him not only to serve his country
