contains a paragraph that brokers
should maintain the standard rates
of commission adopted by the board
and no business should be solicited

The national code urges observ-
ance of the local boards rate sched-
uleS and calls for disciplining any
local board not enforcing the ma

adopt the golden rule as their stand

The parade of aspirants for the
nomination came to IN eno last
night when Gov. Thomas E. Dewey
spoke to the delegates at a closed
dinner meeting. In the past month
they also had heard Senator TAFT
and former Gov. Harold E. Stassen.
Party leaders maintained Official
silence on the course the 3o-vote
delegation will follow after a first

there appeared to be little change
in pronounced sentiment for Sena-

"As soon as this matter came to
MICS attention the writer q the
scripts was dismissed and the super
visor responsible for the broadcasts
was relieved Of his post"
But neither the State Department
nor the NBC explanation appeared
to have any effect on the angry
Senators.
Senator Capehart said the State
Department must bear the respon-
sibility and the blame for this.
All they are doing is trying
to pass the buck to NBC. We are
going to get to the bottom OF it and

agreed with Senator Capehart. He
said, cts a Government response

wants to "look into, that script
writer's motives"
Senator Capehart said he had at
first intended to introduce a bill to
require the State Department to
publish each script In the Federal
Register within 10 days after the
time of broadcast.
He said he later found that the
department was sending out 10000
words daily, so he was now consider
ing an alternative. This alternative,
he said, would require the Secretary
of State to furnish to the secretary
Of the Senate, the secretary Of the
House and the Library Of Congress
q copy, In English, Of every broad
cast.
Barkley Makes Comment.
In discussing the scripts references
to Utah, Senator Capehart said
some fool broadcast that sort Of
misinformation throughout the
world" He also shouted that the
script tried to represent Utah as a
Communist and socialistic state u
He called the reference to mar
riage and divorce in Nevada "en-
tightening" The American people,
he added angrily, are spending
money to "send that sort OF trash
over the radio"

minority leader in the Senate, said
there was no justification" for the
broadcasts. But he said he wanted

u. 5. EmpIoye Groups
Fight for Pay Raise
Before Adjournment

. Government employe groups to-
day turned the pressure on Con-
gress to enact Federal pay raises
before adjournment next month.
With only about three weeks re-
before the Republican ma
tional convention, Government en-
ploye unions have renewed their
campaign for prompt action by Con-
gress on pay raises.
Resuming the drive, William G.
Doherty, president of the AFL Ma
tional Association OF Letter Carriers,
issued a statement urging "every
public-spirited citizen" to back Fed
eral employees in their request for
cost-of- living pay raises.
Doherty Appeals to Citizens.
Speaking for postal employees In
his union, Mr.. Doherty declared:
IF the American people will insist
on the leaders Of Congress bringing
about immediate action on postal
pay legislation, there is no question
but what the present unwholesome
condition will cease. The postal
employees are totally dependent
upon members of Congress for ad-
justments in salaries"
Mr.. Doherty, whose union is one
of the most powerful Of all Govern
ment employe groups, acknowledged
that postal workers are beginning
to fear that Congress will adjourn
without giving any consideration to
the present financial chaos in which
the postal people find themselves"
Mr.. Doherty predicted that If this
should happen, there would be "a
complete breakdown in the morale
of these highly trained and faithful
Government employees" The postal
leader added, This can only mean
q diminishment in service to the
American people"
Fear Sailing Tactics.
The Republican leadership has
promised Government employees that
action would be taken on pay raises
before adjournment. However, no
action has been taken during the
past few weeks and Government
employees groups are greatly worried
that stalling tactics might be going
on. That is why Government union
leaders have decided to turn on the
heat" once more on Congress.
In his statement today, Mr.. Do
herty disclosed that Bernard M.
Baruch. noted American statesman,
has Endorsed postal pay raises.
''Mr. Baruch said that while he
was opposed to imitation as strongly
as. if not more strongly than, any
body else, he could not see an jus
tice in keeping the salaries of pos
ia workers at their present low rate
when everybody else has had their
salary increased" Mr.. Doherty said.
The postal leader said the en-
ployes "are faced with almost in
surmountable obstacles in their at
tempt to meet present high living
costs" on their current wages.
