I turned thumbs down on Federal pa!
legislation. A fairly good chance
remains, however, that postal work
ers viii get their raise.
There's still hope that the legis-
lators may change their minds. but
there is no indication at the moment
that they will. AS one pay bill sup
porter said today: IT'S in the lap OF
the gods. All we can do now is hope
that the House leaders will see the
justice of our cause"
The time element is also plaguing
the measure: With only eight days
remaining before scheduled adjourn
ment, quick action is needed. Sem
ate leaders say they hope to act on
the bill sometime next week, which
means that the House leadership
would have to act almost immedi-
ately on the legislation, if and when
it is approved by the Senate.
CHRISTMAS IN JUNE - Repre-
sentative Lyle. Democrat, of Texas, a
strong supporter of Federal pay
raises, got of this quip yesterday
about the pay situation:
There are only eight more shop
ping days until Christmas. And the

can offer Government employees any
bargains is the firm of Martin and
Halleck."
DISCRIMINATION - The CIO
United Public Workers of America
again has called on President Tru-
man to issue the long-pending

Mr.. Truman some months ago said
such an order would be issued, but
the order has not yet appeared. and
White House sources say that no di-
rective Is in sight.
Thomas Richardson, chairman Of

been growing discrimination
against Negroes" since VI day. AS
a result, the Federal job gains made

Palestine's sovereignty and unity"
Israeli government leaders have

and on the partition of Palestine,
recommended by the U. N. Assembly
last November 70.
Israel Hopes for Peace.
In spite of this conflict, Tel Aviv
dispatch said today that hope is
high in Israel that a permanent
peace viii be worked out.
In London, C. p. Mayhem, a top
assistant to Foreign Secretary Bevin,
told the House Of Commons today
that Britain will not recognize Israel
during the truce. In reply to La
Dor members criticism Of Mr.. Bev-
ms Palestine policy, he said such
recognition would be "a positive act
favoring one side"
Israeli Prime Minister David Ben |
Gurion announced over the radio
last night that Jewish forces had
been given their cease-fire order. |
He said any one in Israel who broke !
the truce would be deemed an enemy /
and treated as such.
His statement came only q few |
hours after Irgun Zvai Leumi, old |
Jewish underground group, had |
issued q bitter statement which said |
The government had choice |
between shame and war. 1t chose |
shame. But there Is no assurance /
- that war will be avoided"
