pay raise. The House group also
has approved a $685. raise for postal
workers.
But all these figures will be tossed
out if the House leadership plans
go through.
Senator Taft, of Ohio, chairman OF
the Republican Policy Committee, is
on record for classified workers
raise. He has said he would try
to work out a figure with House
Speaker Martin. But the House
leadership action appears to pre-
clude any such agreement, unless
the Senator is willing to buck

Halleck and others.
Economy Record Sought.
If the Senate should pass pay
raise bills for both postal and classi-
fed workers. chances for House ap-
proval would improve, it has been
generally agreed. But the Senate
calendar already is overcrowded and
the adjournment goal is only two
weeks off
At the base of much of the Re-
publican opposition to the general
pay raise, it appears, is a feeling
that this is an election year, that
most of the Federal employees are
Democrats and that the Republican,
controlled Congress must make a
record of economy.

Corn Crops in Midwest
Helped BY Light Rains
By the Associated Press

CHICAGO,i June 5.-Scattered
showers eased a drought condition
over parts Of, the Midwest corn belt
today, but more rains will be needed
when the crop gets a little farther
along. :
Grain men are not much worried
yet about a y9-day dry spell which
has been relieved only in part. The
corn is just doming up and doesn't
need much topsoil moisture at this
stage, according to c. M. Calvin OF
James E. Bennett g. Co., Chicago
grain commission firm.
Showers have fallen over nearly
all the important corn-producing
States in the last day and q half.
However, the amounts generally
have been in the hundredths Of an
inch-ipeuf1cient for any real re-
lief.
The subsoil in the main corn belt
generally still is in good shape from
springs soaking rains. However,
garden crops are in need of more
moisture.
Chicago weather forecasters said
no soaking rains are in sight, al
though there is possibility OF addl-
tional showers in the Midwest Tues
day or Wednesday.
