Federal Pay Raise Bill
May Win Sponsorship
OF Murray in House
Civil Service Chuirmun
Will Offer 1t Unless
Living Costs Decline
BY Joseph Young

Chairman Murray of the House
Civil Service Committee is ex-
pected to sponsor Federal en-
ployes' pay raise legislation when
the new Congress convenes in
January.
Chairman Johnston of the SEN
ate Civil Service Committee al
ready has announced that he will
sponsor pay raise legislation in
the Senate.
Although Mr.. Murray hasn't
definitely committed himself, it's
understood that he will introduce
a Federal pay raise measure in the
House unless living costs decline
This is of strategic Importance
since the House and Senate Civil
Service Committees will handle
Government pay raise legislation
The fact that the chairmen OF
the two committees would sponsor
such bills improves the chances OF
the legislation greatly.
Amount Not Decided.
Before leaving for his home in
Tennessee recently for a short
vacation. Mr.. Murray said that
something would have to be done
for Federal employees if the rise
in the cost of living waSn't t
checked.
Just what amount would be
contained in a pay raise measure
sponsored by Mr.. Murray will
depend on the budget Bureaus
forthcoming report on just how
much Federal workers have been
affected by rising living costs since
their modest pay readjustment last
year.
On the other hand, Senator
Johnston is expected to intro
duce a bill providing for $500
a year pay raise-the amount that
has been asked for by the AFL
Government Employees Council.
Senator Johnston is said to feel
that this amount is far too much,
but will introduce the bill with
the unf erstanding that his COM
mite will trim the amount later
on. Senator Johnston repeatedly
is in favor of an average 5000 to
$3.50 a year raise.
NFFE Asks Action.
Meanwhile, the independent
National Federation of Federal
Employees has issued a statement
calling on Congress to give prompt
attention to Federal pay raise
legislation.

6. 0. P. 10 Offer
Excess Profits
Tax Substitute
Levy Would Impede
Defense Program,
Rep. Reed Asserts
By Cecil HoIIond

Representative Reed, Repuhli-
can, OF New York, yesterday as
sailed President Truman's excess
profits tax proposal as one that
would "cut the heart" out OF the
country's productive capacity, and
said he would offer a substitute
which would raise more revenue
and safeguard the national
economy"
Mr.. Reed said he would offer
his substitute tomorrow as the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee continues hearings on admin
istration suggestions for an excess
profits tax of rs per cent on
corporation earnings above a
normal rate-a tax estimated to
yield $4 billion year. He is the
ranking Republican member of
the tax-writing committee.
Asks so to IS Pet. Rate.
Declaring that President Tru-
mans proposal would seriously
impede our defense program" Mr..
Reed said his substitute would:
l.. Give the corporate taxpayer
an election of either paying under
an excess profits tax or at a
corporate rate of SIS per cent,
whichever results in a lower tax.
2. Provide that II the taxpayer
elected to pay under the excess
profits tax, the amount of the
tax paid would have to be equal
at least to a tax of SO per cent
Of the current years earnings.
The Reed proposal was advanced
as succession Of business spokes-
men continued to voice opposition
to the administrations proposed
levy and Chairman Doughton of
the House Committee said he had
some doubts" the committee can
write an excess profits tax bill in
the remaining session of Congress
starting November 27.
May Turn to Other Taxes.
Mr.. Doughton also hinted that
the committee might turn to some
other forms of taxation If it can
not agree on an excess profits tax
bill. Heretofore the Democratic
majority on the committee has in
dicated there would be no con-
sideration of alternative programs
of taxation.
However, Mr.. Doughton issued
a Statment rapping the Reed pro-
posal. He said it would shift the
tax burden from big corporations
with high incomes to small busi-
nesses whose income has not in
creased since the start of the
Korean war.
A proper tax plan. Mr.. Dough-
ton said, should increase the tax
burden of corporations which
have high income as a result Of
the defense program"
Floor Under Tax Rate.
Mr.. Reed said his proposal would
have a specific termination date
of December 81, 1852. Describ-
ing the administration proposal
as short sighted tax program" :"
he added:
my proposal, in effect, amounts
to putting a floor under the excess
profits tax so that every corporate
taxpayer would have to pay his
fair share. This was not true under
the World War II excess profits
tax under which many of our big
gest corporations paid little, if any,
excess profits tax"
The Republican leader said that

paying under the excess profits tax
or a IS per cent corporate rate

networks originating from New

added:

Later tonight Federal Concili-
ator j. R. Mandelbaum said he
had started conferences with
representatives of the three net
works and WOR-TV in the hope
OF 'persuading them to rejoin
the overall negotiations"
Numerous issues involved in the
strike include performers rates

Mr.. Heller disclosed the strike
decision after a 15-minute con-
ference between representatives
