that receipt Of the kind Senator
Mundt mentioned would be in
cluded in the Institutes records

Mr.. Holland said the $4,000 "un-
doubtedly" was one of the annual
assessments paid by the Russian
council of the international in
stitute some time during the pc
riod 1934-39, the years the Soviet
council was affiliated with the
institute.
Senator Mundt's statement re-

Johnston's views are extremely
important.
Following his Endorsement Of
the postal pay measure, Senator
Johnston told newsmen the Gov
ernment's classified employees also
deserve a raise.
Actually, it isn't a salary in
crease. but an adjustment of
wages to enable employees to meet
the rising cost of living" he said.
when you talk about salary
increase. people get the impress
sion you are giving Federal en-
ployes more money to buy more
things. But actually. all we're
trying to do is to adjust their
salaries in light of rising living
costs, so that they can maintain
their past standard Of living"
Senator Johnston also is the
sponsor Of the pay measure for
the Governments classified en-
ployes, which would provide for
II per cent increase. with maxi
mum raise of $3.50 a year for those
whose earnings are more than
IS 900 a year.
The subcommittee handling the
classified pay bill is headed by
Senator Pastore, Democrat. of

hearings before the Pastore sub
committee got off to an excellent

seemed deeply impressed with sta
tistics presented by postal en-
ploye groups, showing that postal
workers wages have fallen far be-
hind rising living costs.
Besides Senator Johnston, Sena-
tors O'Conor, Democrat, of Mary
land. and Ecton. Republican, Of
Montana, urged enactment Of a
postal pay raise bill.
Senator Ecton said he "shud-
dered at the bitter situation In
which postal employees find them
selves" He declared that Con-
gress cannot afford to let these
employees down. Senator Ecton
said postal workers are trying des-
perately to maintain a decent
standard of living for their fami-
lies but are unable to do so on
their present salaries. q
The hearings were adjourned
until next week, when officials Of
other postal employe groups will

curity subcommittee.
Maybe should keep it up for

minded that his activities had kept
him in the headlines for more
than a year, "but there's no ex-
cuse for it with a good committee.
Anyway, an individual investi-
CATION can't anywhere near ac-

it yourself you can't get anything
out of unfriendly witnesses. and
friendly witnesses who would be

He also conceded that individual
Investigations can mess up an in
vestigation that might be officially
but secretly in progress. His own
men, he said, have strict orders
to turn over everything to the
FBI, and he said he assumed that
if his operatives ran into the mid
die of an FBI investigation, II
would get a call saying to lay of. "
Senator Mccarthy is not the
only one who recognizes the lin
itations and hazards Of individual
investigations.
Senator Ferguson. Republican,
of Michigan, said Senator'S must
get the facts, and one Of the jobs
of administrative assistants is to
find out what the facts are. But
he also said that going to peoples
homes and trying to interview
them can have the effect of
"clamming-up" witnesses needed
later for authorized Investigations.
Senator Millikin, Republican, Of
Colorado, also considers it a duty
to look into complaints. but he
pointed out that individual Sena-
tors can't subpoena individuals or
records and cant find anybody
guilty of recalcitrance."
Some legislators are fatty op-
posed to the idea of one man

Anything of concern to a

Keeping the monarchy in good
repute. ana being always the per-
Sonage who is an example to the

conceln of Princess Elizabeth. 1t
involves many minute details, such

that the Royal feet may hurt from

Gently she got herself talked

account of her clothes.
Elizabeth was thought Of for
a long time as the princess in

very light blue. Then came an
of pink and rose, and
there was no objection because
she did not break away from the

Elizabeth went down to Malta
several times to visit her husband.
Some Of the gossips thought she
went too often and stayed away
from her children too long. But
the chatter really flew when she
returned in dark clothing. Once
it was bottle-green and another
time it was brown. Sympathizers
said the demonstration might have
been her personal revolt against
the pastels. but she was lectured
in the press and many words
were spilled wherever a dozen

1t is remarked frequently in
Britain that a successful royal
