Man to Man
Members of Atomic Commission
Called Unknown Civilian Soldiers

Job, his friends Immediately began
pointing out that the salary of the
position was $l7,500 a year, or 81, 500
more than a member of the cabinet
received. From this they convinced
themselves that Congress had rec
ognized that Mr.. Lilienthal, as
chairman of the Atomic Energy
Commission, Was more important
than any cabinet officer, including
the Secretary of State, War or Navy.
On this assumption, these so-called
friends limited that Mr.. Lilienthal
at least ought to be ranked right
next to the Chief Justice of the
United States. and that in all social
affairs he should take precedence
over any mere cabinet officer, in
cluding Secretary of State Marshall.
Hints Anger Lawmakers.
These hints, although only whis-
pered, soon reached the ears of va
rious Senators and Representatives
and their brazen effrontery so an
gered these Representatives and Sen
ators that they are eager to(put Mr..
Lilienthal in his place.
Since the whole argument of
Lilienthal's supporters was based on
the fact that Mr.. Lilienthal's pay
was higher than that of any cabinet
officer, there, was an easy way of
meeting it. All that the Congress
had to do was to reduce Mr.. Lilien-
thal's salary below that of cabinet
rank, or adopt an alternative plan
of increasing cabinet salaries.
Senators Flanders of Vermont and
Baldwin of Connecticut have in
troduced a bill into the Congress
which would raise the salaries of
cabinet officials from $4,000 year
to $4,000, or $4,000 more than Mr.
Lilienthal now receives. The bill
also provides for increased salaries
for the head and assistant heads of
independent agencies, such as the
Federal Communications Commits
sion and the Veterans Administra-
ton. 1t would also increase the pay
of Under Secretaries and Assistant
Secretaries in the various Depart
mentS.
What particularly annoys Mr.. Lii
ienthals supporters is the fact that
this bill calls for salaries of $17,500
for the Under Secretaries of the
various Departments. This is the
same salary that Mr.. Lilienthal re-
ceives and it obviously relegates him,
in the minds of Congress and of the
people, to a place where he is no
more important than the Under
Secretary of State. In short, the
Congress has an opportunity to
make it clear that Mr.. Lilienthal is
no more important in the United
