Senate Unit Approves Truman Plans Return
ID. {. Teacher Pay Bill To White House Soon
With 7 Amendments As Mother improves
Discrimination Protest,
Defeated in Committee,
Moy Bring Floor Fight
By Don 5. Worren

Amended in two respects, the
teacher pay bill today cleared
the Senate District Committee
but faces a renewal of a fight
over one issue on the Senate
floor.
The single issue remaining among
committee members is the demand
of several Southern members that
27 high school teachers having SUI
perior ratings, but lacking masters
degrees, be given the same new
maximum pay available to high
school teachers having M. A. de-
grees. ....
A move to exempt the 81 from
the single salary scale plan en-
bodied in the pay bill was defeated
at today's special meeting of the
committee by vote Of 6 to 5. Four
proxies were counted in this vote.
Floor Fight Threatened.
The exemption move was led by
Senators Umstead of North Caro-
lima, Sparkman of Alabama, and
Johnston Of South Carolina, all
Democrats. Senator Johnston served
notice he would oppose the bill when
it is taken up in the Senate until
lit is amended to correct what he
and his colleagues termed a dis
elimination against veteran teach
ers who have won superior ratings
under the present system.
One of the amendments voted into
Chairman Cain of the fiscal sub
committee in charge of the bill
would have the effect of reducing
the ultimate pay of school officers
and principals by $500 unless they
have masters degrees.
| Senator Cain offered the amend
ment because of criticisms voiced
by other members This was that
if pay differential is made between
teachers having M. A. degrees and
those without them the same prin-
ciple should apply to the admins
trative officers.
Sick Leave Liberalized.
The other amendment. also Of
fered by Senator Cain as a result OF
criticisms aired at today's special
1 session, would liberalize sick leave
provisions for attendance and work
i permit officers. The amendment
provides they shall be entitled
under regulations of the Board OF
Education, to sick leave with pay

Marshall Contradicts
May on Unfair Cufback
In Carson Contracts
Denies Any knowledge
Of Ex-Representotive's
Dealing With Combine
By Robert K. Welsh

Secretary of State Marshall,
testifying today at the District
Court trial of former Represent
ative Andrew J. May, contra
dicted earlier testimony by May
on ammunition contract cut
backs which affected the Cars
son munitions combine.
May and Henry and Murray
Carson are charged with conspir-
aey to defraud the Government.
The prosecution is attempting to
prove that May received bribes
totaling $4,000 for his services to
the Garssons.
Gen. Marshall, wartime chief oil
staff, said that in 1945 great cut
backs were being made in munitions
orders. May had testified that he
had protested the cutbacks as un-
fair to the Carson combine. May
at that time was chairman of the
House Military Affairs Committee.
In contradicting Mays testimony
that the Garssons were treated un-
friendly. Gen. Marshall declared,
however, that he knew nothing
whatever" about Mays association
with the Carson brothers.
Defense Calls Members of Congress.
3 Defense council called Gen. Mar
shall, together with four members
of Congress, who appeared as char
acter witnesses for May.
Gen. Marshall, when asked about
Mays reputation for honesty, in
tegrity and fair dealing" replied:
That question never came up
in my mind. I took him to be a
man of integrity. I heard no COM
ments to the contrary"
The defense\ began questioning
Gen. Marshall about discussions he
had with May and other Congress
sional leaders during the war con-
cerning production of the 8-inch
shell. The Carson companies had
several contracts of that kind.
One of the covert acts" cited in
the indictment against May and the
Garssons is that May put pressure
on War Department authorities in
protesting against cut-back orders
on those contracts in 1945.
May testified last week that he
made legitimate protests to that ef-

Senate Will Approve
Tax Bill Tomorrow,
MiIIikin Predicts
Chuirmon's Hopes Rise
After Easy Victory on
Community Property
By the Associated Press

Senator Millikin, Republican,
of Colorado said today he is
more hopeful than ever" that
the Senate will approve the $4,-
900, ,00o, ,000-a-year income tax
cut by tomorrow night.
The Finance Committee chair
mans optimism was reinforced by
the margin with which the measure
cleared its second big test late yes
terday.
BY the top-heavy tally of 81 te
90, the Senate defeated an amend.
ment by Senator Mcclellan, Demo
crat, of Arkansas, which would have
granted husbands and wives in al
the States-rather than only 10 as
as present the right to split theil
income in making out their tax
returns.
On Monday the Republicans turn
| ed back by vote of 48 to A a
Democratic effort to postpone action
on the tax cut until June 10.
More Amendments Pending.
As floor manager for the bill, Sen
ator Millikin said he believes the
opposition reached it's high mark or
those two proposals. A dozen OIL
more proposed amendments awaited
action, but Senator Millikin said:
Il think there will be a disposition
not to put up too many road blocks
now" n
A possibility remained that the
Democrats might stage fight to
postpone the effective date of the
cut until next January /. Some
Senate authorities believe, however
that the parliamentary situation
precludes such a move. In adopting
committee amendments yesterday
the Senate approved a specific table
of lowered withholding rates to cd
in effect July l.
The House had voted to make the
reduction effective last January /
This was stricken by the Finance
Committee after testimony that the
Treasury would have to make more
than S750,0O0, 900 in refunds fo,
overpaid taxes.
10 to 80 Per Cent Cuts.
| AS the bill now stands, it calls fol-
income tax reductions ranging from
80 per cent for the lowest paid tt
10.5 per cent for those in the tor
brackets, over full years period.
Senator Millikin said that If thu
Senate passes the bill tomorrow, HI
hopes to get it into conference with
the House Monday. Apparently lit
tie will be in dispute besides thu
effective date, and Senator Millikir
said the confTees should be abl,
to expedite it.
| The Senate adopted a provision
granting an extra $500 persona
exemption to taxpayers over 65 year.

15c Offer Made
byFord toUAW
1917
20, 900 to Get Boost
Now; Other Changes
In Contract Opposed
BY the Associated Press

DETROIT, May 28.-The Fore
Motor Co. today offered 10000
CIO-United Auto Workers the
equivalent of a 15-cents- -an-houl
wage increase and simulta
neously raised 10000 salariec
employees 10 per cent.
The salary increase was limited te
those making less than $1,000
monthly and becomes effective june
/, the company said.
The offer was worded in such 6
way as to exclude $500 striking fore
men as long as they were not covered
by contract.
The proposal to the UAW-CIO
which has threatened strike action
after three weeks of negotiations
was conditioned on their acceptance
of their old contract virtually intact
except for wage issues.
No Comment From Union.
1t provided an 11h-cent hourly
wage increase plus six paid annual
holidays, identical with the pattern
established in settlements with Gen.
eral Motors Corp. and Chrysler Corp
There was no immediate union
comment.
Acceptance by the UAW of the
proposed increase would raise the
average Ford production wage tt
s1.501a an hour compared to 1.42A
at General Motors and $1.44h al
Chrysler.
The Ford statement said the com.
pany had hoped to reach agreement
with the UAW by the time the ole
contract expires May 80, but ex.
pressed a willingness to negotiat,
to June Is, with the wage increase
retroactive to May 81.
$4,000, 900 Held Involved.
Ford said the proposed increases
to the production workers would adc
approximately 100000 to its an
nual labor cost and added:
This added cost to production ot
cars and trucks at this critical time
must somehow be compensated fol
by high productivity, continued
freedom from unauthorized work
lstoppages and sustained high pro.
duction If we are to escape the un.
sound position of simply passing
! the bill on to our consumers
| The UAW entered negotiation
with the company with a demant
for a 23h -cent-an-hour increase

doned during negotiations with tn,
other members of the industry,s Bi,
