The House this afternoon ap-
proved $500 to $500 year pay
raises for the Governments classi-
fled workers and a $400-to- $500
salary boost for postal workers.
The legislation now goes to the
Senate where favorable action is
expected later today. This will
send the bill to the White House
for President Truman's signature.
House and Senate approval also
lis expected today on the 1926
day graduated annual leave plan
for Federal employees.
AS Congress draws to a close,
Government employe groups are
well satisfied with the outcome of
their pay raise drive. They also
are we'll pleased that the 13-to-26
|days-a-year leave system will re-
place the present 20 days for
classified employees and the Is
days for postal workers.
Regarding the classified en-
ployes' pay bill, the conferees ap-
proved a fiat 10 per cent raise for
everybody. with the exception Of
employees earning less than $4,000,
who will receive a fiat $500 raise,
and those earning more than $8,-
900, who will receive $500.
Retroactive to July I.
The increase for postal workers
ranges from $400 a year for most
postal workers to a maximum of
$500 for many postal supervisors
and postmasters.
The pay raises for both classified
employees and postal workers are
retroactive to last July /. About
100000 Federal and District Gov
ernment classified employees. as
well as legislative and judicial
workers. will benefit from the
raises.
The graduated leave system will
go into effect January 6. It has
the effect Of repeating the present
20-day leave system, which be-
came law only a few months
ago, and also replaces the present
15-day postal worker leave sys-
TEN. All Government employees
classified. postal and per diem
will now get the same 13-to-26-
days annual leave benefits.
The graduated leave system
means that the 20-day leave plan
previously adopted never will be
used. It's just as If the 20-day
system had never been in effect.
For this year. Federal classified
employees will receive their full 26
days. under the old system.
Break for Veterans.
Starting January 6, the follow
ing schedule will be used for all
Government employees: 13 days
for those with up to three years
of Federal service. 20 days for
those with three to Is years and
rs days for those with is years
or longer. For leave purposes.
military service will be counted as
part of Federal service. This
gives a special break to veterans.
incidentally. it doesn't matter if
military service came before Fed
eral service began. All military
service will be counted.
The present Is days annual
sick leave for classified employees
is cut to 13 days, while the postal
workers 10 days sick leave is
raised to 13. All employees, how
ever, will be allowed to accumu-
late, from year to year, all of their
unused sick leave. with no limi-
tation. At present. employees may
accumulate only 80 days sick
leave. ..>
Another good feature of the
graduated leave system is that
employees again may accumulate
annual leave. There is now a ban

substantially the same measure
three days ago, would approve the
modified version today.
Although the House met at IL
o'clock, leaders decided to put off
calling up the tax bill until mid
afternoon. At that time there is
more likely to be maximum at
tendance on the floor.
Two Other Major Issues.
With the tax bill out of the
way. only two major matters would
stand in the way of adjournment.
They are:
/. House and Senate conferees
must agree on differences in the
So billion foreign aid appropria-
ton.
2. The Senate must pass and
send to conference today the last
miscellaneous appropriation bill,
carrying more than 81 billion for
expansion of military camps and
installations at home and abroad.
Mr.. Yorty. an administrative
supporter. said he called the Pres
ident on the telephone for guild
ance. He said he had been
struggling with his conscience all
morning as to whether to go along
with the pending bill.
Urges Others to Support 1t.
He said Mr.. Truman told him
he did not like the pending bill
any better than Mr.. Yorty did, but
doubted that it would be possible
to get a better bill between now
and January if this one should
be beaten. Meanwhile, the Gov
ernment would be losing the reve-
nue. of several hundred millionI
dollars month in November and
December.
Mr.. Yorty indicated Mr.. Truman
would express his dissatisfaction
with this bill in a statement when
he signs it, if it passes. The Cali
fornia Democrat said he is urgingE
other liberal Democrats to goI
along with the bill.
The new tax agreement, reached
early yesterday, leaves the bill
substantially in its original form.
The few changes made to appease
the House actually reduce its yield
by another SAL million. The
changes are:
1t knocks $68 million off the to-
tai of new income taxes to be paid
by individuals. This was accom-
plished by making the increase on
the first $4,000 II per cent instead
Of 1112 per cent.
Capital Gains Rate.
This will mean a saving of So
q year for all single taxpayers
with $4,000 or more of taxable in
come, and a little more for mar
ried couples, as compared with
the original bill.
The alternate tax on long term
capital gains was increased from
25 to 26 per cent, which picks up
about $28 million. The original
bill made no change in the Is
per cent rate.
Corporation excess profits taxes
were raised slightly. This was ac-
complished by making the broad
er excess profits base retroactive
to July /. The original bill re-
duced from IS to 83 the percent
age of corporate earnings exempt
from excess profits taxes. starting
in January. BY moving the date
back to July, the effective rate of
exemption becomes "a per cent
for 1851, and SO per cent for fu-
ture years. This picks up $50 mil
lion for this year only.
A 10 per cent manufacturers
excise tax was applied to electric
garbage disposal units, and the
Is per cent sporting goods tax
was removed from children's ice
and roller skates.
Timber was taken out of the
special coal royalty provision, and
a few other technical changes
were made.

Iran Delegation Absent.
Trans aged Premier, Moham-
med Mossadegh. had fought Coun-
Icil Intervention bitterly en- the
ground that the oil dispute was a
domestic question and thus not
subject to U. N. action. He was
backed by Russia and several other
Council members.
When the postponement was
voted neither Mr.. Mossadegh nor
any other representative of Iran
was present. They had taken part
IN the week of debate here at
Flushing Meadow, but had an
nounced at Wednesdays session
they had expressed their views
and would not participate further.
Some delegates. including Soviet
Russia. backed the Iranian view
that the oil controversy was an
internal matter for Iran to settle
and therefore did not come within
the councils jurisdiction. Others
expressed doubts on this point but
were willing to go ahead without
getting into the question of COM
petence.
Britain's Sir Gladwyn Jebb said
he was convinced the council was
competent to deal with the ques-
tion. but that he was aware that
the military was strong enough
to prevent adoption of Britain's
resolution for new talks.

hoped the French proposal would

few of their leaders went around looking pictures
que in their shirts and turbanS, but the Arab
masses got their independence handed to them
on silver platter.
In this last World War, remember the
strong Nazi sympathies prevailing in Egypt. AS
soon as the German Marshall Rommel approached,
the Egyptian army marched well to the rear so as
not to put any stumbling blocks in the paths of
the Nazis. They expected the Nazis to win and
leading Egyptians were already polishing up their
German. They couldn't go outrightly Nazi because
the English troops were there.
What is troubling Egypt really is not the few
thousand troops in the Suez Canal region, needed
for the protection of that artery against possible
Russian offensive. What is the real trouble with
Egypt is the feudalism that still exists there. The
Egyptian government has not the courage to chal-
lenge that institution which keeps the Egyptian
masses in perjury, so it encourages the attacks on
foreigners, on the British the Jews. This keeps
the masses off the real source of their trouble =

There appeared last week lengthy letter in
the New York Times, written by the Secretary
of the Egyptian Embassy in Washington, taking
strong exception to that papers stand on the Suez
Canal issue.
The matter would hardly be relevant here ex-
cept for the fact that this Egyptian official comes
to the conclusion that the real cause behind the
New York Times stand was the fact that Egypt
did not permit the passage of Israel ships through
the Suez Canal
Anyone knowing anything at all about the
New York Times will realize how far fetched that
conclusion u.s. though to be sure, there is reason
why the Times should not take strong stand
against that wrong The United Nations has itself
demanded that Egypt end its ban on ships going
to Israel through the Suez Canal and, in the end,
Egypt will have to yield. There can be no ques-
ton of that. No one stand in the middle of
the road and prevent people going by and certain
ly no country of as little significance Egypt is
going to prevent the lawful traffic between the
east and west, if the Powers really make up their
mind.

PLAIN TALK
BY ALFRED SEGAL
ABOUT AMBASSADORS

met my good friend McGoni-
gal at lunch. Whenever McGoni-
gal and ! meet we launch into
considerable discussion of politics
or religion or Of any of the other
ways of human life. At least a
half hour has passed before we
say so long to each other.
On the matter of religion our
discussions have come practically
to stand still. We agree that in
the essentials of religion he and

do that the main end Of any reli-
gion is to lead men toward being
decent people who respect their
neighbors even if they can't love
them all. That's what your Juda-
ism teaches and that's the lesson
get out of my Catholicism"
The other day after we had sat
down to lunch, McGonigal began
by asking: what do the Jews
think about President Truman
nominating an ambassador to the
Vatican?"
"Oh." I exclaimed. haven't you
heard?"
Heard what?"
told him that a report had
come to me that the President
was thinking of appointing an
ambassador to the World Union

who couldn't believe his ears. He
asked what that was-the World
Union for Progressive Judaism,
that is.

comes to me. is looking around

President knows that Reform
Jews aren't all the Jews in the
world. There are also Orthodox.

you see. McGonigal. my idea is
that to appoint an ambassador to
Judaism really would be a kid
ding matter as ludicrous as to ap-
point an ambassador to any other
religious group.
'sThe fact is that Jews would
