z Postal Unions Open
Testimony on u. 5. Pay
Redistribution Bill

Federal employe groups today
began their testimony before a
House Civil Service subcommittee
in favor of Government pay re-
classification legislation.
The postal unions were the first
to testify, with other employe
groups scheduled to appear later
in the week. During the past few
weeks, the subcommittee has been
hearing testimony from various
members of Congress who are sup
porting the legislation
Today's witnesses included Will
liam c. Doherty, president Of the
AFL National Association of Let
ter Carriers. and William c. Arm
brust, president Of the United
National Association of Post
Of1ice Clerks.
Back Postal Pay Rise.
Both witnesses urged approval
of the postal pay bill. which
would provide a tat. $50 raise
plus longevity increases, and
would increase the annual and
sick leave privileges for postal
workers to 26 and IS days a year.
Both Mr.. Doherty and Mr.. Arm
brust also urged the group to pro-
vide salary increases for the rest
Of the Governments employees.
Discharged From Committee.
The various postal unions,
which have accused the subcom-
mittee of "stalling" on pay legis-
ton, last week succeeded in Sc
curing the necessary 218 sigma
lures of House members to dis
charge the postal pay measure
from the committee. The dis
charge petition was sponsored by
Representative Walsh. Democrat,
of Indiana.
Mr.. Doherty suggested that the
subcommittee work out with the
postal groups a bill that all could
support when it comes up for
House action.

Ban Urged on Discrimination
Against Workers Over IS

The International Association of
Machinists wants Congress to out
law discrimination in industry
against working men and women
over As"
In an appeal for this action, the
executive council of the associa-
alton asked that the retirement
age in the Social Security Act be
lowered, or that older workers be
protected against unfair and un-
just discrimination because of
age"
AL Hayes. president of the asso-
citation pointed out that when a
working person over As is laid of
he has more difficulty getting a
new job than younger worker of
equal skill. This problem will be-
come more acute as unemployment
increases because census figures
show the number of working
people in the As to IS year age
group is increasing in proportion
to the total working population,
he said.

can undertake the program with
out fear that it will have more
than a minor effect on its
economy"
It stated that the economic
review had covered five specific
points: Resources. production
facilities. manpower. national re-
serves and gross national prod
uct.
Peak Impact in 1881.
The pamphlet pointed out that
although $1.450. ZOO. 900 would be
obligated this fiscal year. actual
production of finished items dur
ing the period would be sultan
TALLY less. The actual peak i'm
pact would not be felt until after
March. 1851. when some 20 per
cent of the total program would
be spent.
But "the program may be I'M
dertaken with confidence that it
will not be an appreciable drain
and will not require the IMPOSE
ton Of controls on the domestic
economy" the State Department
said. "The program would not
materially reduce the volume of
goods available for domestic con-
sumption or threaten other secur-
ity programs
The program. the department
declared, like our membership
in the North Atlantic Pact. is part
Of a policy which is entirely de-
fensive in scope" despite Soviet
propaganda" to the contrary
1t docs not provide any pretexts
for aggression, it added.
Once in effective operation, ii
can help preserve the initiative
which the free nations of the
Western World now have and it
can help to create the structure
Of sound economies and defensive
capabilities with which 1t may be
still possible to convince any po-
tential aggressor nation that the
ultimate welfare of its own people
lies only in tolerance and peace"
it concluded.

Mr.. Truman emphasized that,

proposed arms aid program is
entirely defensive in character. ="

He stressed that helping free
nations to acquire the means of
defending themselves is necessary
not only to the security of the
United States but also to building
a safe and prosperous world So
ciety.'
To be effective, he said. such
aid must be planned ahead. And,
he asserted, If this program of
military is to succeed. we must
prosecute it promptly and vigor-
ously. Our policies for peace are
having the desired effect. We
cannot afford to lose the momen-
tum we have already gained"
The proposed American aid to
the Atlantic pact countries is "only
a minor fraction of what these
countries will spend themselves, "
the President said. He pointed
out that Great Britain, France,
Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxem-
bourg. Norway, Denmark and
Italy have undertaken annual
military expenditures equivalent to
SIS, 500, 100000. This is the max
imum they can spend with SER

recovery, he added.

adequate defenses properly co-or-
dinated with our own.
In view of our limited resources,
it is impossible for us to assist on
a grant basis all countries whose
defense is related to our own. We
can afford to bear the cost of mill
tary security where the danger is
greatest, and where the ability to
pay for military equipment is least.
With respect to such countries as
Canada and the American repub-
lies, therefore, I recommend that
our assistance be limited to the
use of the facilities of our Gov
eminent to procure defense equip
ment for them at thir own expense.
All these various requirements for
military assistance should obviously
be handled in unified program.

the operation of our foreign policy.
SI,450, 100000 for First Year.
The sum which will be needed
in new appropriations for the fiscal
year 1850 for all the grant programs
now contemplated. together with a
margin for emergencies, Is approx
mately $1.450, O0O, 900. The bulk OF
the supplies to be procured under
these programs will be delivered
over the next two years. OF this
total $5O,000,O00 has recently been
requested for the interim continual
ton of our program of military aid
to Greece and Turkey under exist
ing authorizations. New authori-
zation will be required for $1,400,-
OO0, 900.
The major portion Of the total
is to be devoted to the needs OF the
Western European nations. 1t is
not proposed that specific, sums be
committed in advance to particular
countries. Rather, the President
should be able to make ALLEGATIONS
as circumstances require.
The aid we provide will constitute
only a minor fraction Of what these
countries will spend themselves.
Agreements will be executed with
the recipients to provide for mutual
assistance ana 10 assure proper use
of the equipment furnished The
recipient nations will be required to
limit the use of the items supplied
to the defense of agreed geographic
areas, and will not be permitted TO
transfer them to other nations with
out the consent of the United States.
The President should be authorized
to terminate our aid at any time.
Aid will be terminated in the event
that q recipient acts in a manner
inconsistent with the policies and
purposes of the program or with its
obligations under the Charter of
the United Nations.

Mr.. Moses acknowledged that he

He did not predict how long it
may be necessary to continue such
a program beyond this fiscal year,
saying the burden will lessen las
our program for peace brings its
returns"
In outlining the program for
Western Europe. the President
said:
The military assistance which
we propose for these countries
will be limited to that which is
necessary to help them create
mobile defensive forces. Our OBJ
jective is to see to it that these
nations are-equipped. in the short
est possible time, with compact
and effectively trained forces cap
able of maintaining internal order
and resisting the initial phases
of external aggression.
AT the present time. the mill
tary power which Is the greatest
deterrent to aggression is centered
in the United States, 5000 miles
away from Europe. 1t must be
made clear that the United States
has no intention, in the everE of
aggression, Of allowing the peoples
Of Western Europe to be overrun
before its own power can be
brought to bear. The program Of
military assistance is a tangible
assurance of our purpose in this
regard"
Blame Put on Russia.
Mr.. Truman directly blamed
Russia for both Western Europe's
need for a Shield against agrees
sion" and for making it difficult
for the menaced countries to sup
ply their own defense require
fhents.
Principal task Of the free West
ern European nations in the last
four years has been to restore their
war-shattered economies, he
pointed out.
THE inherent difficulties Of this
task" he added, have been ag-
gravated by the foreign policy OF
the Soviet Union, which has done
its utmost to prevent European
recovery"
In place Of the peaceful condi-
lions essential to recovery, the
President asserted. 1.-The Soviet
Union, with it's violent propa-
ganda. its manipulation Of the
conspiratorial activities of the
world communist movement, and
its maintenance of one Of the
largest peacetime armies in his
tory, has deliberately created an
atmosphere of fear and danger"
He said the Western European
