Congress May Vote
Itself Pay Increase
Al lis Next>Session
BY the Associated Press

Congress, passing out a round
of pay increases to Government
employees. is beginning to talk OF
voting one for itself.
While no action on congress
sional pay raises is likely this
year, some members are privately
discussing action next year.
Signs that members Of Con-
|gress are beginning to feel under
paid appeared last week as the
House approved for more than
800, 900 civil service workers q
fourth pay raise since the end OF
the war. At the same time it voted
to raise the salaries of half a
million postal workers and per-
sonnel of the uniformed services
Earlier 1t voted substantial pay
increases for top Government ex-
|ecutives.
Bills Await Conference.
All the bills have been passed
by the Senate but only the mill
tary measure has been sent to
the White House. The others are
awaiting settlement of differences
between the two chambers.
Members of Congress now get
$12.500 a year in salary plus $2,-
500 in tax-free expense allowance
which they draw the same as
salary. For practical purposes,
their annual official take" is
SIS. 900.
The figure $4,000 is being
talked about in House cloakrooms
House Majority Leader Nc
Cormack told newsmen he knows
of no organized drive to raise
congressional pay next year but
wouldn't be surprised If one de-
veloped. Other members said the
drive already Is under way but
won't come into the open until
next year.
Voted Expense Allowance.
Mr.. Mccormack himself fire.
quently has publicly stated that he
believes members of Congress are
underpaid.
Congressman have had one pay
raise in decades. That boosted
them from $4,000 to $12.500.
On top of that they voted them
selves the $2,500 expense allow
ance. which they hadn't had
before.
However, they recently gave

MOSCOW, Oct. 1.-The 11tf
volume of the works of j. v
Stain has just been published
It has been greeted as a fresh re.
minder Of the goal Of world revo'
luton and of the loyalty the Soviet
Union demands of Communist:
elsewhere in the world.
While this volume covers pro.
nouncements of Stain in the pc.
riod from January, 1928, tt
March, 1929, its application to to.
days complicated internationa
situation is evidenced by comment
of Pravda, the official Communist
Party newspaper. In some in.
stances Pravda pointedly applied
the words of Stain 20 years age
to what is happening now in Mar.
shall Tito's Yugoslavia.
One chapter deals with "Ques-
tions Of the International Revolu.
tionary movement and tasks OF
Brother Communist Parties" Here
Stain laid down this principle:
The obligations of the interna-
tional working class consist in
support Of the proletariat of the
U. S. S. r. in its struggle against
internal and foreign foes"
(This could we'll have been
the beginning Of today's Soviet
principle that Communist gov
ernments elsewhere bow to
Russia's leadership. This is at
the basis of the current Tito
Stain split. Tito has refused
to bow to Stain and has been
made an outcast by Europe's
Communist parties)
In this chapter Stain said the
Socialist revolution in the Soviet
Union is in essence part of the
world revolution. the base and in.
strument of the world revolution.
ary movement"
There is not any doubt that
the international nature Of oul
revolution lays on the proletariat
dictatorship in the U.S.S.R. certain
obligations with regard to the pro-
letariat and oppressed masses o1
the world" Stain wrote.
Policy Held Consistent.
= On this Pravda commented:
'"The Soviet Union is pursuing its
foreign policy consistently. The
words spoken by Stain in 1928
ring out with tremendous power
today"
In the same chapter Stain ex-
pressed pessimism for world peace
50 long as capitalism remains
dominant in q large part of the
world. He said ut would be stupid
to presume that international
capital will leave us in peace"
(There has been evidence that
Soviet Russia was becoming
more and more nationalistic
under Stain. The Russians re-
tain their grip on Communist
parties elsewhere in the world
and use them for expansion of
Soviet influence,)
Stain then went on to enunci-
ate the principle Of loyalty to the
Soviet Unions revolution. The
chapter includes this speech to the
central committee III 1928, pub
lished In the works for the first
time. This is the principle:
"These obligations (of the inter-
national proletariat) consist In
support of the prpletariat Of the

Tito Clique Cited.
OF this, Pravda said:
ANY deviation from it is a be-
trayal Of the cause Of socialism
and a passing over to the camp
of the Bourgeoise. This has hap
pened today to the Tito clique in
Yugoslavia.
Having betrayed internation-
alism, the Bourgeois nationalistic
Tito clique has gone over finally
from the camp of democracy and
socialism to the camp Of the
sworn foes Of the Soviet Union.
the countries Of the peoples
democracy and the whole world
Communist movement, to the
camp of Imperialism and fascism. "
This involves what is known as
right-wing deviation. Stain dealt
with right and left deviation in
another chapter, entitled "The
Struggle for Consolidation Of the
Bolshevik Party"
Geon '-rotsky was "devia-
zionist" He differed with
Stalin's program for successful
socialism in one country" and
campaigned against conces-
sions to the peasants which
Stain had judged expedient
at the time. Stain liquidated
the well-of peasants-the Ku-
laks-in his own good time.
Tito, on the other hand, is a
nationalist deviationist in So
Wet eyes. He has resisted
Stalin's dictum against conces-
sions to the Yugoslav peantry.)
The new volume publishes for
the first time a Stain chapter on
National Questions and Lenin-
ISM" In this, Stain wrote that
the origin Of the so-called modern
nations is directly connected with
the rise in capitalism. He con-
tended that the formation of So
|cialist nations did not mean the
liquidation Of nations as such, but
only the liquidation of "bourgeois
nations"
Agriculture Reorganization.
A significant chapter is the one
concerning Socialist Reorganiza-
ton of Agriculture" In this
Stain set forth that the trans
formation Of agriculture to a COL
lectivized economy formed the
basis for tearing out the roots of
capitalism In a country primarily
agricultural.
Stain contended that In the
transition period from capitalism
to socialism, in the conditions Of
a dictatorship of the proletariat,
the class struggle does not die
down, but on the contrary be-
comes more acute.
In agriculture, Stain wrote, the
transition was possible not by the
simple. peaceful entry Of the
peasants into collective farms, but
by a mass struggle Of the peas
ants against the kulaks. It be-
came necessary, he said. to crush
the kulaks before the eyes Of the
whole peasantry 50 that the
masses could be persuaded as to
the weakness Of the capitalist ele-
mentS! -ntert'~ii' - -
Stain, with Trotsky out Of the
way, was ready to act against the
kulaks in 1928. After having pro-
tected them against Trotsky's i'm
patience, he declared war on
them. In q few years the kulaks
were eliminated as q class, after
q struggle involving mass arrests,
trials, executions. deportation and
terror. Those who expressed con-
Germ for the kulaks at that time
were labeled right deviationists."

IsraeI-Syriu Armistice

The agreement just signed between Israel
and Syria has Implications transcending
its formal scope. Technically, this Is
merely an armistice, both sides reserving
their rights to press their respective claims
in a permanent settlement. But the prac-
tical effects will be considerable. For one
thing, it will physically separate the armed
forces of the two parties, which have been
50 complexly interlaced in the contested
areas of Upper Galilee that untoward "in-
cidents" could precipitate renewal OF
fighting spontaneously. Henceforth, the
contested districts will be demilitarized,
while both sides will keep their armed
forces well back of the uncontested FROM
tiers. The likelihood of a renewed fareup
is thus reduced.
The second point to note is that this
completes chain of armistice agreements
between Israel and the Arab states. Syria
thus falls into line with Egypt, Iraq, Leb-

Letters to The Star
Mr.. Keyserling Agrees We Lack
A Monopoly on All Ideas

Mr.. Keyserling Agrees We Lack
A Monopoly on All Ideas
To the Editor Of The Star:
I cannot refrain from thanking you for
your editorial of July 10 entitled Made in
America Attempting to serve the public
is mighty thankless task, and it is en-
couraging once in awhile to find realization
that the task would be impossible If we had
to conform to all the things that seem to be
expected Of us.
There is almost no idea under the sun
which has not found expression by people
in the United States, in England, and else
where. For physical scientist or social
scientist to try to make sure that no IDEA
to which he gave expression had been re-
hected in the thinking of anybody whose
grandfather had not been born in the United
States would be quite an arduous task.
Whether or not the budget should be bal
anced at all times is. of course, a debatable
question about which competent men may
differ; but those who think that the issue
can be decided by whether or not the
analysis leading to one conclusion or an
other was entirely made in America" would
be surprised to learn that just as many
English economists can be found on one
side Of the question as on the other and just
as many American economists can be found
on one side of the question as on the other.

Quick Financing Essential

President Truman is right in contendlng
that Congress should make an outright
appropriation of $3,OOO,O00 for Washing
tons Sesquicentennial celebration next
year. This method of financing the
national observance is much preferable 10
the plan for seeking loan from the Re-
construction Finance Corporation. 1t Is
to be hoped that Mr.. Truman'S new appeal
for a direct appropriation will meet with
more favorable response in the House than
did his previous requests.
Why the House Appropriations Com
mittee was SO insistent on eliminating the
Sesouicentennial item from the deficiency
bill has never been explained. The House
twice has followed the lead of the commit
tee in refusing to vote funds for the cele-
bration, which President Truman has &C
claimed as national demonstration OF
democratic freedom. The Senates attempt
to insert 100000 appropriation in the
deficiency bill failed in conference after
the House refused to bulge from its
position.
The next move of the Sesquicentennial
Commission-one almost of desperation
was to seek legislation authorizing
$4,000 900 loan by the RFC. This bill, intro
duced by Representative Mary Norton, is
pending before the House Banking and
Currency Committee Since commission
officials expect that the loan would be re-
paid out of admission fees, the transaction
would be a safe one from the risk stand
point. But a direct appropriation, too,
would be in the nature OF loan, since
refunding is planned from the same source
of revenues. It cannot logically be said,
therefore, that denying the appropriation
would contribute to governmental economy.
Whatever method of financing the Sesqui-
centennial may be decided on, quick action
is essential, for only few months remain
In which to make preparations. Further
delay and uncertainty can lead only to
curtailment of the whole program.

anon and Trans Jordan. This arnlistice
pattern reflects the realities of the situa-
ton. The course of military events has
proved that the Arab states are incapable
of overcoming the armed strength of Israel.
Recognition of this basic fact should clear
the way for constructive negotiations at
Lausanne, Switzerland, where representa-
tives of Israel and the Arab states have
been negotiating for months under the
aegis of the United Nations Palestine Con-
ciliation Commission. Those negotiations
have hitherto been deSultory and fruitless,
but Secretary of State Acheson correctly
estimates the trend when he urges the
contending parties to send delegations to
Lausanne empowered with full authority"
to negotiate a permanent settlement of all
outstanding issues.
The need for such settlement becomes
increasingly obvious. Both sides are suffer-
ing from the strain of hostilities and the
burdens which continued military mobili-
zation impose. The unsuccessful showing
of the Arab armies has spread spirit of
humiliation and Illustration in the popula-
tions of those countries which engenders
unrest and instability further accentuated
by the presence of hundreds of thousands
of penniless Arab refugees from Israeli
territory A permanent settlement would
have to include some equitable solution of
this grave problem. On the Israeli side Is
the pressing need of devoting all its re-
sources to the resettlement of the tide of
immigrants from many lands, who are at
present prevented from integration into
their new country's economic life by lack
of funds and other facilities
1t is to be hoped that mutual recognition
Of these facts will lead to resumption of

Bitter Words About Radio
In Public COnveyances
To the Editor of The Star:

In Public COnveyances
To the Editor OF The Star:
People who travel on cars and buses are
entitled to certain rights-reading or talking
or thinking-but these have been taken away
from them by the radio installed by the
transit lines of Washington.
You cannot stop your ears to the blare
of the mechanical voice. and the hideous
extra noise is maddening! You have no
choice but to listen. And I for one, if ever
have to ride on one Of these cars or buses.
certainly will boycott the products so adver-
tised.
So far I have stepped out Of bus or
car which was blaring forth the radio before
1 paid my fare. and taken taxi. I shall
continue to do that. However, If the occasion
should occur where I have to stay on the
vehicle, I can refuse to buy the products
advertised; and I shall.
In ones own home one can turn off the
radio or turn to another program; but here
you're forced to listen. The bat-brains love
it! They haven't anything to think with.
so they just want something to be going on.
How long will the victims stand for this new
indignity? A VICTIM.
