Pay Redistribution
Bill Expected 10 Be
Approved Thursday

The House Civil Service Com
mittee Is expected to approve on
Thursday its subcommittee pay
reclassif1cation measure for Fed
eral employees which provides an
average raise of $l13.
The subcommittee approved the
measure yesterday. Sponsored by
Chairman Murray, 1t would grant
an average increase Of $125 In the
first four grades: an average Of
500 in grades five through eight.
and slightly higher pay boosts for
the next 10 grades.
In addition. employees in the
crafts. protective and custodial
service would get an average pay
increase OF about $125.
The subcommittee bill also
would grant longevity promotions
to classified employees In so-called
dead-end jobs. These employees
would be limited to three such in
grade promotions after they
reached the top Of their respective
grades.
The subcommittee also pro-
vided for the lifting Of the present
$lo,33o Federal pay ceiling to
$4,000 q year.
Unlike the measure reported by
the Senate Civil Service Commit
tee. the House units bill does not
provide for overhauling Of the
present efficiency rating system,
nor does it contain q provision
for awarding supervisors who
operate their sections efficiently
at less cost.
In regard to the pay proposals
the House groups bill differs in
the individual amounts proposed.
although its $1l3 average raise ID
somewhat near the Senate com.
mittee's $125 average.

Snyder Proposes U. 5.
Guarantee Foreign
Loans by Americans
ly The Atseeintsd Press

Secretary of the Treasury Sny-
der today urged Congress to en-
courage private American invest
ments abroad by offering guaran-
tees against what he called risks
peculiar to foreign investment.
This step would be In support
Of President Truman's proposal to
help "underdeveloped areas Of the
world to increase their produc-
tivity and living standards" Mr..
Snyder said. Mr.. Truman made
the proposal In his inaugural ad-
dress last January.
Bills introduced by the admin
istration would allow the Govern
ment-owned Export Import Bank
10 offer the guarantees.
Risks Are Listed.
In a prepared statement. Mr..
Snyder told the Senate Banking
Committee "the risks peculiar to
foreign investment" might in
clude:
l. Inability Of investors to con-
vert earnings in foreign curren-
cies. "or other amounts received
In connection with the foreign In
vestment." into American dollars.
2. THE appropriation Of the
investors property by q foreign
government without prompt and
adequate compensation"
8. Physical destruction of prop
erty incident to international
war"
Guarantees may perhaps be
issued against the non-converti-
biiity of local currencies to begin
with and later be extended to
cover other risks II the situation
seems to warrant it," Mr.. Snyder
suggested to the committee.
Emphasizing what he called the
experimental nature of this
guaranty program" Mr.. Snyder
asked that Congress grant flexible
and broad authority to the Export
Import Bank instead of restrict
ing it to particular risks.
Countries Must Help.
Mr.. Snyder has recently re-
turned from a tour Of Western
Europe and the Middle East where
he discussed financial-economic
problems with local leaders.
He testified that foreign coun-
tries themselves must accept the
major responsibility for clearing
the existing obstruction to a flow
of United States private capital
abroad.
He said these countries must
recognize that American investors
should have the right to do busi-
ness in their countries on reason
able terms. including the right to
control and manage ones invest
ment."
Other obstacles to American in
vestment. he said, include the
tendency Of some countries to ma
tionalize business, including bust
ness belonging to foreign m
vestors." He also mentioned "ex-
change controls" making It. DIM

Governor Of Hawaii
Expected 10 Order
Dock Seizure Today
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

HONOLULU, Aug. 9.-Hawaii's
Governor is expected to order
seizure of the Territory's strike
bound docks today-101st day of
the Gripping tieup.
The striking CIO International
Longshoremen's and Warehouse
mems Union threatened to defy
the government stevedoring op-
erations and test constitution
ality of the territorial Legisla-
lures new seizure law.
Second Ship Departs.
AS Gov. Ingram M. Stainback's
formal order was awaited, these
other developments marked the
strike begun May by the uWU
for a 80 cents raise in the $l.40
hourly longshore pay:
!. A second ship of the 18TH
mian Lines. the Steel Maker,
sailed from Honolulu with a cargo
Of sugar and canned pineapple.
When the first Isthmian ship
sailed July 80. her local agents
said it marked the beginning of
regular To-day sailing between
Hawaii and the Atlantic Coast.
2.-,T1e sailing of the ship was
hailed by q new nonunion firm,
Hawaiian Stevedores, Ltd. as evi-
dence the port of Honolulu was
open regardless OF the nWU
strike. The company loaded the
ship.
3. HWU President Harry
Bridges countered with: we re-
gard this port closed 20 long as
no Matson ships move between
here and the West Coast" Mat
son Navigation Co. normally Is
the principal Hawaii-mainland
carrier.
Dock Chief Appointed.
Gov. Stainback yesterday ap-
pointed Ben r. Rush. Hawaii Har-
Dor Commission chairman. to d.
rect Government stevedoring op-
erations.
The Governor also issued m
order setting the stevedoring wage
rate at the pre-strike $1.4o and
establishing q $780, 900 revolving
fund as authorized by the Legis-
lature.
Mr.. Rush announced that the
government would start today
signing up 500 stevedores to work
for the government. The law
permits hiring striking nWU
longshoremen, but they have said
they would not work for the ter
ritory.
Jack Hall, nWU local leader,
predicted his union would stage
y big picketing demonstration
when the government tries to
unload q ship. s.,
I'VE have to get arrested to
test this law in court" he said.
The law provides $500 fines and
three-month jail terms for any
interference with government
stevedoring operations.
Crewmen Pass Picket Line.
No demonstration marked the
departure of the Steel Maker last
night. Its 80 crewmen Of the AFL
Seamen's International Union
went through a token nWU
picket line without incident.
Castle g. Cooke. Ltd. the ships
agents, refused to disclose her
destination. In its original an
nouncement of To-day sailings,
the company said 1sthmian ships
would ply between here and New
York, Baltimore and Philadel-
phia.
The Steel Maker carried 1000
tons-the second cargo OF sugar
and the first of canned pine
apple to leave since the strike
started.
Bridges said sugar shipments to
the East Coast were : o heavily
losing operation for the sugar
firms. Raw sugar must be re-
fined on the coast and shipped by
rail to the normal West Coast
marketing area, he declared.

To circumvent the House rules
group and direct House action, the
Senate Civil Service Committee
came UP with Z bright solution.
The House has passed . retire.
ment bill that would permit the
widowers OF retired Federal en-
ployes to obtain these survivorship
annuity benefits feature Is now
limited to widows only.
So. the Senate group amended
the House-approved bill with the
measure the Senate already has
passed-the legislation to reduce
payment for the survivorship an
nuity benefits from 10 to s per
cent.
In this way, the amended legis-
lation will not have to 60 through
the ordinary legislative channels
In the House and will not need the
approval Of the House Rules Com
mittee. Instead, 1t will 90 directly
to House e-Senate conference. This
is short cut that promises q good
