Drowned Golf Stars
Escort Was Drunk,
PatroIinen Report
By HE As.soeiased Press

DES MONIES. Mar. 31.-Mary
Louise Cordingley, 81, attractive
holder of the Iowa women's golf
!. crown. drowned early today when
flood waters englllfed the car in
which she was riding home from a
country club dance with the son
Of Des Moines' mayor.
Her escort, Boyd Chambers, Is.
was rescued from q tree by two
patrolmen who later filed a writ
ten report alleging that MIR. Cham
bers was intoxicated.
Acting Police Chief Floyd Hart
zer said the patrolmen's report
was vague and inconclusive." He
said he had ordered an investiga-
ton to determine whether
charges of reckless driving, driv-
ing while intoxicated, or any
others should be fled

witnesses told him Mr.. Chambers

be another month at least before
the Administration makes up its
mind. Despite reports to the con-
|trary, there has been no decision
reached to support 10 per cent
Federal pay increase.
There are sharply conflicting
views among top Government Of
|ficials on the pay raise issue. and
that undoubtedly accounts for the
delay in completing the report.
Several top White House ad-
visers are very cool toward a Fed
|eral employe pay raise. They feel
lit would be too costly. Further
more, they contend Government
salaries generally compare favor
ably with private industry rates.
On the other hand. Robert
|Ramspeck. the new chairman Of
the Civil Service Commission. is
inclined to favor some kind Of a
pay boost for Government en-
ployes. Noting that the Govern
ment has fixed a 10 per cent wage
increase pattern for private in
dustry workers, Mr.. Ramspeck
feels Federal employees should be
treated mot any better, nor any
worse" than employees in private
industry.
Budget Bureau Director Fred
Lawton has participated in some
of these discussions but has not
yet made UP his mind.
Several top Administration
officials are in favor of the White
House making no specific recon-
mendation on the pay bill, either
for or against, other than to point
out that any increase in excess of
10 per cent would be contrary to
national wage stabilization policy.
In this way they say, the de-
cision would be left entirely up to
Congress.
There's a strong possibility that
this will be the course finally
adopted by the Administration.
Top officials acknowledge that the
White House scarcely could be in
the position of fatty opposing q
Federal pay raise in view Of the
wage increase pattern set for
private industry. And they say it
would not be smart politics to

From Catharine of Aragon

Miss Skinner is a writer whose
observation is as keen and whose
ear is as sharp as those of any
body caricaturing the contempo-
rary scene. In a mood that some
how manages to seem merciful
when one knows it may not really
be so, Miss Skinner disposes OF
such types as those found in
beauty salons, at summer hotels
and among American tourists in
Paris.
Including dozens of suggested
other characters, all as invisible as
Harvey in "i+arvey," Miss Skim
ner creates as many figures OF
her solo stage as one meets in
weeks of play-going.
No other monopoly can lay
claim to such generous benev-
olence.
THE Wives of Henry VIII" may
not avenge the Kings mistreat-
ment OF Miss SINNERS sex, but it
still goes a decent way toward
settling the score. 1t gives Henry
not a gouty foot to stand on at
the end, but leaves him rather
lying under the wise, sharp-see-
ing eyes of Katherine Parr who
inherited his kingdom and his
children. The total picture of
Henry through his five other
variously disposed of spouses is a
delight.

worth a full play awes Miss Skin
