revision to the Congress-" he said.
II thoroughly approve Of ade-
quate salaries for all our Federal
employees. Increase prosperity for
our Nation depends on the con-
slant betterment OF the living
standards of the great body Of
our citizens. In the promotion OF
the general welfare Federal en-
ployes should not be neglected.
However, I am urging increased
compensation for Federal execu-
tives not primarily as matter
Of equity-although 1t is well JUS
tified on equitable grounds-but
primarily as q matter of good
business from the standpoint OF
the Government"
Again the President said that
the success or failure of everything
that the Government does depends
on these executives, and that
even q small improvement in the
economy and efhcience Of the vast
operations under the direction of
these men is obviously of much
greater consequence than the cost
OF the proposed salary increase.
) Citing examples In General Mo-
tors. and, the DUPONT Co, the Pres
ident said that salaries Of $50, 900
ana $4,000 Dare mot uncommon. u
Chairman Murray of the full
House Civil Service Committee Is
expected to head the subcommit-
tee that will hold the hearings on
pay reclAssification. The other
members of the subcommittee will
be appointed during the next few
days.
District Workers Included.
The group will consider reclassi-
fication proposals for the Govern
ment's 100000 classified employees
including District government
workers-and 500, 900 postal work
erS.
Although the group will study
various fiat pay raise bills that
have been introduced during this
session of Congress. it is expected
to center It's attention on the re-
classification measure sponsored
by Mr.. Murray.
The Murray bill would grant
average $50 q year pay boosts to
Federal employees, although those
In the middle and upper pay
brackets would receive quite a bit
more. The measure also would
raise the present $10.330 a year
Federal pay ceiling to $4,000.
Employe groups. which have
been pressing for committee action
on the legislation. are hopeful that
the group will increase the $50
average raise provision to at least
the $l70 figure agreed on by a
Senate Civil Servime Subconmit-
tee headed by Senator Long,
Democrat. Of Louisiana. The
Senate group. which has completed
on pay reclassification. is
expected to report its. measure
next week to the full Senate, Civil
Service Committee.
The Murray bill. in addition to
its pay reclassification provisions.
also provides for longevity and
within-grade promotion benefits
that would eventually mean salary
increases Of several hundred dol
lars or more for many employees
over a period Of years.
The major hurdle facing pay
Redistribution this year is the
time element involved. That's why
employe leaders have been urging
the House Civil Service Committee
to take action.

Senator Lucas said neither vote
amounted to "any kind of a test" :"
He called the outcome defeat
for middle of -the-roaders" who
want something between the ad-
ministration bill and the Taft
Hartley law. Senator Lucas said
the real test would come on the
second ballot on the Douglas
Aiken amendment.
But Senator Mcclellan, Dem
ocrat, Of Arkansas. who favors the
Taft-Hartley Injunction, said:
"It indicates that q majority Of
the Senate still favors the funda-
mental principles and substantial
provisions of the Taft-Hartley
Act"
Taft Assails Ives Plan.
Senator Taft, Republican. Of
Ohio. sponsor of the injunction
amendment. told the Senate the
Ives plan amounted to passing
the buck" to Congress In . ma
tional emergency.
IT think we would be fools to
pass any such provision or accept
any such responsibility" Senator
Taft declared.
He opposed the Douglas-Aiken
amendment on the ground 1t tacit-
ly provides for an Injunction. but
doesn't come right out and say
so as the Taft amendment does.
Sponsors Of the Douglas-Aiken

Dear Louisa:

Dear Louisa:
am going with very fine boy
but my parents refuse to believe
that he is anything but a rowdy be-
cause all of the men in his family
have a bad name about getting
drunk and misbehaving
This boy hates all that as much
as I do, and has always behaved like
a perfect gentleman. We are both
old enough to get married but my
parents are trying to break us up
although the boy has a good job
They say that they are sure he
will be just like all the rest of the
family.
What must I do ?
Kansas A. .B.L.
Answer:
1t is always we'll to look at boy
or girls family before you marry
into that family. AS a usual thing,
you can get a good picture of the
kind of wife or husband you will get
by looking at your intended's father
or mother, l say, as a usual thing,
but this does not always hold true
Occasionally in family of no-goods,
there will be one or two fine girls
or boys who, instead of following in
the footsteps of these erring elders,
bend every effort to be different
from them. Some of the finest men
and women have come from appar-
emily very poor stock. Some of the
people who have done the most for
humanity and for their own fami-
lies were reared in poverty and had
absolutely no background.
So we do wrong to condemn a |
young man because of the behavior
of his family. If, in spite of their
examples, he has behaved himself !
and done the best he could, he should
be accorded more praise and con-
sideration than the boy who has no
such handicaps.
| don't think you will be wrong in
sticking to such young man.
Good luck to YOU

L0UISA'S LETTER

Dear Louisa:
What is an old maid | thought
that appellation went out of style
about ten years ago, but someone
spoke of me the other days as an old
maid.
UNMARRIED-THIRTY
Tennessee
Answer:
An old maid is a prissy, narrow
minded person Of any age from 12
to 60, married or unmarried. At
least, that is my private opinion.
Some of the worst old maids. I have
ever known were married women
those holier-than-t kind-who
expect little children to be angels
and expect the worst of other wom-
en- and men.
But some of the unmarried wom-
en- of my acquaintance, who are we'll
on their way towards the half CEN
tury mark, could not, by any stretch
of imagination, be termed old maids.
They are too amusing and clever,
they are too interested in things and
people, and they are too broad
minded to be called anything but
attractive women.
