Voluntary Raise Asked
For Phone Workers
BY the Associofed Press

The CIO Communications
Workers Union began spade work
today on move it hopes will bring
voluntary wage increases for $780,
600 telephone workers.
CWA President Joseph A. Beirne
sent word to his 80 divisions to
propose that Bell system COM
panies using the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company
facilities offer a wage hike
whether contracts allow them or
not. The movement will begin on
Monday.
Mr.. Beirne said it was prompted
by a union desire to offset-in the
interest of its membership"-in-
creases in the cost of living since
the Korean invasion in June.
Bell companies with contracts
which may be opened now for
wage increases and those which
have not yet settled on contracts
for 1850. already have considered
new union wage demands.
The unions weekly newspaper
reported that these companies
have offered wage increases of
to IL cents an hour.

With Afghan Worse
BY the Associated Press

Parliament today that relations
between Pakistan and neighboring
Afghanistan have grown worse. u
He declared the Afghan gov
ernment had organized raids into
Pakistan territory by tribesmen
and members of the Afghan army
The Premier said his govern
ment is still willing to discuss
questions of common interest,
both economic and cultural" But
he said he wanted to impress
upon the government of Afghani-
stan with all the emphasis at my
command that feeling of anger
and resentment against their hos
tile policy towards Pakistan is
mounting in tribal areas" through
out the country.
Liaquat's statements were in
reply to questions by members of
Parliament. He accused Afghan
istan of having launched an "or-
ganized compaign of blackmail
and calumny" against it's neighbor
The Premier denied that PAX
istan had imposed an economic
blockade against the adjoining
kingdom and cited a number OF
Pakistan trade concessions.
