Mummers Parading
Before Million in
Chilly Philadelphia
By the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 1.-The
mummers marched and pranced
and danced today as millions
watched Philadelphia's tradition
ally spectacular welcome to the
New Year.
Reinforced by more than a
million spectators in holiday
mood, the gayly- -garbed marchers
swarmed into and took over the
heart of the city for the day.
Two television stations gave hun
dreds of thousands of watchers
a freside view Of the annual show.
Crystal clear weather and a
bright sun brought out all the
colors and spangles of costumes
splendid In their feathers and
fancy work. Block-long capes Of
the fancy clubs rippled in the
breeze and lifting tunes echoed
through skyscraper canyons as the
string bands marched and counter
marched through their carefully
planned maneuvers.
All along the 10-miIe parade
route up Broad street, around
city hall and then east toward
the river, grown-upS and kids
lined 3 to 10 deep along the curbs.
Regular traffic was shooed
around the parade route by aug
mented police traffic details, or
stood blocked at crossings. AS the
first units strobe past the judges
stand others still were waiting TO
fall in line at the starting point
and the parade seemed certain to
carry far into the afternoon.
Mr.. and Mrs. Philadelphia and
their children and guests had to
bundle warmly for protection
against near-freezing tempera-
lures, but nobody seemed to mind,
least of all the mummers.
Some of the paraders were
warmed by their efforts to man
age bulky fancy costumes. but
others wore very little indeed and
seemed not to mind the cold at
all.

oAoAAs
Chairman Johnston of the Sem
ate Civil Service Committee will
re- introduce Federal pay bill for
both classified and postal en-
ployes Wednesday when the, new
82d Congress convenes.
The measure will be co-spon-
sored by at least four or five other
Democrats and Republicans on the
committee. The same group spon-
sored a pay bill during the special
session Of Congress, but no hear
ings were held since it was evident
that there wasn't enough time
during the special session to
enact any legislation.
The new bill will be more liberal
than the previous one for Fed
eral employees earning more than
SIS 900 a year. The old measure
provided for II per cent pay
boost for employees earning up to
$4,000 a year, and and an 8 per
cent raise for those earning above
that figure
The new measure provides for a
II per cent increase on the first
IS 900 earned by all Federal en-
ployes. In other words, employees
earning up to $4,000 yearly would
get II per cent raise, and those
earning above that figure would
still get a II per cent boost on
the first $4,000 they earn. They
would receive no percentage in
crease for any amount above
$4,000. This means that the maxi
mum pay boost that an employe
could receive under the bill would
be $3.50.
Senator Johnston is anxious to
get hearings under way, feeling
that the chances of favorable
action by Congress will be in

British Silent on Ban
On Travel by Scientist.
Foreign Office Aide
BY the Assoeiassd Press

LONDON, July 26.-The British
government refused under fire in
the House of Commons yesterday
to disclose Just why it seized the
passports of MoScow-bound
British atomic scientist and one
of its own Foreign Office officials
last week.
Ernest Davies, foreign under
secretary, also refused to say
whether similar action may be
taken to halt the travels of the
Red Dean of Canterbury, the Very
Rev. Hewlett johnson, whose pro-
Soviet sentiments are often pub
licly voiced.
The scientist whose trip to Mos
cow was baked was DR.. E. H. Bur-
hop, 40, who worked for Is months
in 1914 and 1945 on Americas war;
time atom bomb project. His pass
port was Cancelled last Thursday
just two days before he planned
to join 19 other Britons on a good
will' flight to Moscow.
The name of the Foreign Office
man and the post he holds have
been kept a secret. His passport
was picked up last Wednesday.
Under questioning in the House
yesterday, Mr.. Davies would say
only that:
DR.. Burhop's passport was can
celed because it was considered
his trip to Moscow would not be
in the national interest at the
present time"
The action against the Foreign
Office official was a precautionary
measure in respect of certain in
quiries that have taken place"
Britain began a tight new
screening of scientists and civil
servants on confidential assign
ments after the disappearance OF
two Foreign Office men in May
They were Donald MacLean, head
of the Foreign Office American
department, and Guy Burgess, ex-

CAP Makes Search For Hunters Three Days
 Overdue On Boring Sea

Thursday morning, the family of Mike Willoya became alarmed for the safety of a hunting party out in Willoya's skin boat which was then three days overdue. They requested the Civil Air Patrol to make a search flight, so Lester Bronson accompanied by Bill Sheppard as observer, took off in the CAP L-5. They searched the area adjacent to Sledge Is- land for about an hour before locating the boat just east of the island. The five men aboard were observed rowing toward Nome. Apparently their outboard motor had given out.
 AS two other skin boats were seen headed in the direction of the crippled boat, the plane re- turned and reported yesterday afternoon.
 The CAP crew reported very little floating ice in the area so that the skin boats should have little trouble finding each other.
