a financial tieup between the two
companies.

The Federal Spotlight
House Unit Cancels Possession;
New Meeting Set Wednesday

consider a plan it ordered drafted
yesterday that would taper of
the pay increase for officials in
the top salary brackets.
For example, if the committee
voted $500 pay boost for Gov
ernment employees, the amount OF
the increase would taper off to
about $500 for those earning
$4,000 year and even less for
Those making more. In the case
of the $12.000-to-$14,0 ,000-a-year
Jobs. no increase might be given
at all.
Undecided on Top Pay.
The committee hasn't decided
yet just what will be done re-
garding top salaries. but some
limitation on the amount of the
pay raise in these categories is
expected to be ordered by the
committee.
Some members favor a COM
|plete pay raise cutoff for employees
earning $4,000 or more, and
others favor tapering off the raise
at about the $4,000 salary bracket.
However. other committee men,
bers caution this would be too
drastic and might cause a presi-
Dental veto of the bill. Chair
man Murray of the committee is
among those holding this view.
Meanwhile, the Senate Civil
Service Committee today is ex-
pected to file the report on it's
S.4 per cent Federal pay raise
measure.
Senate action on the bill, how
ever, is not expected for at least
another month.
Other Steps Recommended.
Meanwhile, President Truman,
in submitting the Civil Service
Commissions first annual report
on the operation of the 1949 Fed
eral Pay Classification Pay Act,
asked Congress to approve the
following recommendation:
l. Exempt certain crafts,
trades and laboring positions from
the classification act and base
their pay rates on prevailing rates
in local communities.

Three ChrySler plants, where
wildcat strikes made approxi-
mately 10000 workers idle yester-
day, were operating normally to-
day, and the immediate threat Of
other Chrysler closings had van
ished.
However, thousands of auto
workers still face idleness of one
to two weeks in the immediate
future. Others fear that Govern
ment controls which have cut auto
production to 65 per cent of that
of 1850 will cost them their Jobs
later on.
Local unions of the CIO United
Auto Workers charged both Iiud-
son and ChrySler with "speed-ups"
assigning workers more than a
normal work-load. Hudson says
workers are forcing themselves to
be sent home by failing to COM
Iplete all automobiles coming down
the assembly line.
Taking a new tack, Hudson
workers today asked congressional
steel shortage investigators to in
Iquire into their dispute with the
company. They charged the COM

Orman refused from the stand

on his income tax returns for

Washington, explained to the
Senators that Orman claimed his
Constitutional privilege because
he has reason to believe the In

Orman did say, however, that
he is the sole owner of a hotel and
that he recently deposited $50, ,0CO
