For Recommendations
On Wage Increases
By Joseph YOUNG

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today asked the Budget
Bureau and the Civil Service Com
mission for their recommendations
on the recently introduced legisla-
ton to grant wage raises to Federal
workers to offset rising living costs.
In requesting recommendations
from the agencies the Republican,
dominated committee is asking in
effect that President Truman take a
stand on the pay-raise question,
since any recommendation made by
the two bureaus will depend on the
decision of the President.
The administration had been re-
ported lukewarm toward such legis-
lation, not desiring to tangle with
this Republican Congress over the
question of Federal pay raises, al
though some high Government Of
f1cials say privately temporary pay
bonus is needed.
Passage Appears Doubtful.
Observers feel that this political
maneuvering between the commit
tee and the White House will not
help the bills chance. of passage,
which already is considered slim.
Eight Federal pay raise bills have
been introduced in the House within
the last week. Seven of the meas
ures were sponsored by Democrats
and for a fiat $500 annual pay boost.
The other bill was introduced by
Representative Butler, Republican,
of New York a member of the House
Civil Service Committee, and calls
for temporary $3.50 annual pay
raise until the cost of living goes
down substantially.
Although Mr.. Butler isn't too
hopeful about the bills prospects in
this economy-minded Congress, he
says he will seek hearings on the
measure.
Unions Plan Fight.
Government employees unions say
they are determined to wage hard
fight to win some sort of relief
from rising prices. All AFL en-
ployes' groups, including the polit-
ically influential postal workers
unions, are joining with the CIC
United Public Workers in driving
for pay raise.
All of the eight bills have been
referred to the House Civil Service
Committee.
Chairman Rees said the measures
will receive "due consideration" but
he added that it had not beer
decided when hearings would be
held.

Describing the speech afterwards,
Mr.. Danowsky said Mrs. Lewis spoke
favorably of the Russian system of

Saw Three Girls Leaving.
Mrs. Lewis said she noticed three
girls leaving few minutes before
the end Of her speech but paid no
particular attention to their exit.
After that, she was busy answering
students questions.
She recalled that one student
asked If she believed friendship was
possible between Russia and Amer
lea. She said she told them I'VE all
have to fight for peace"
Another student, she said, asked
her If medical care really was free
to everybody in Russia. She told
them every one got the same free
medical care.
Its true" she said. Its not an
exaggeration."
Mrs. Lewis said she was born in
the Ural Mountains on the edge Of
Siberia and began to teach when
she was Is.

high school it didn't cost me penny

Wants to Become Citizen.
She was married In 1899 and came
to this country with her husband
and young Eric in 1943. Since then,
she has been making occasional
speeches for the East and West
Association, headed by Pearl Buck;
teaching Russian at home and at
classes in the Good Neighbor School.
Mr.. Lewis, q student-veteran at
George Washington University, Is .
former clerk at the American En-
bassy in Moscow. He was asked to
resign, in accordance with regula-
lions, in 1943, because he had mar
ried a foreigner. Two others were
asked to resign at the same time for
similar reasons.
Now statelesS because she had to
renounce her Russian citizenship,
she wants to become an American
citizen She wants her sons to be
American citizens.
Before she could continue, the
telephone rang again. She listened
and listened. Finally, she said into
the telephone in tired voice:
1--WE should get along and like
each other-Russia and America
in spite OF our shortcomings. The
Russians don't want our system
and we don't want theirs"
She listened another moment.
Then she said:
II just want peace, because I have
two little boys. I don't want them
killed in a war"
