increase enacted be on an across
the-board percentage basis rather
than on a uniform dollar or sliding
scale basis. so that disproportion-
ately lower adjustments for the
middle and upper grades may be
avolded.
Across -the-BOard Increase.
Detailed studies by the Civil
Service Commission and the Bu-
reau of the Budget indicate that
a 7 per cent across-the-board in
crease would constitute a fair and
reasonable adjustment in CLASH
f1cation Act compensation scales
at the present time.
Employees in the Postal Service
should receive the same general
rate Of increase as Classification
Act employees. Two additional
changes appear to be desirable
with respect to pay schedules in
the Postal Service. First, recon-
mend legislation which would per-
nit the postmaster general to en-
Iploy substitute postal workers
inltially at Grade 3 instead of
Grade l to bring the pay of these
workers in line with prevailing
rates OF pay. Second, certain in
equities existing in the pay rates
Tor the supervisory grades should
be eliminated.
Under the present laws, many
OF our Federal employees not Gov
cred by the Classification Act or
included in the Postal Service are
paid in accordance with scales
prevailing in the communities in
which they are employed, and
their pay levels have already gen.
orally been adjusted to pay levels
for private employment. No
legislative adjustment is required
for this group.
Green Calls al tie House.
Il ~ow that your committee is
fully cognizant of the fine work
being done by our Civil Service
employees. I wish to take this
opportunity, however, to say as
have said before, that the Nation
is fortunate in having a loyal
hardworking. conscientious Civil
Service. without u it would be
impossible to accomplish the
tremendous tasks of the present
emergency. I am sure that you
will want to join with me in TAX
ing this step towards seeing that
the Civil Service is maintained at
a higher level of competence and
effectiveness"

Mention Of Dawson
In Final RFc Report

The Senate Banking Subcom-
mittee which Investigated the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. de-
|ferred action today on a final
report that does not mention
Donald S. Dawson. an assistant to
President Truman.
Subcommittee Chairman Full
bright. Democrat, of Arkansas
disclosed that the proposed report
does not discuss or even name Mr..
Dawson. He added, however, that
Il think Mr.. Dawson was fully
covered in our preliminary report
and that the final report will not
have to go over every bit of that
earlier statement"
Senator Capehart, Republican,
of Indiana declared that he was
dissatisfied with the report in its
present form. He believes it
Should not only include references
to Mr.. Dawson but also a specific
comment on whether President
Truman was justified last Febru-
AIRY in calling the preliminary re-
port "asinine."
Linked to Influence Web"
In that preliminary report the
subcommittee linked Mr.. Dawson
with web of influence" which
lit said affected some former
directors of the RFC.
The only action taken by the
subcommittee today at a two
hour meeting was to vote, 4 to /,
to issue, subject to approval by
the full committee, a report deal
ing with approximately $62 mil
lion of RFC loans to the KAISER
Frazer Corp, automobile manu-
IfacturerS.
! Senator Capehart said he voted
against issuing the report. He
explained that. although he
agreed in general with it's factual
account of the loan activities, he
saw no reason why the sub
committee should publish a
single report on only one big
RFC borrower and let a lot of
other borrowers go scot free"
Critical Analysis"
Senator Fulbright. in reply to
a question whether the report
criticized the Kaiser Frazer loans.
said it was more of critical
analysis" He recalled that sew
eral months ago he personally de-
clared that the loans should not
have been granted. He said he
still believed that the transac-
tions did not represent proper
lending policy for a Government
agency" He added, however, he
had no evidence of any Skull
duggery" in those loans.

Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway
U. N. commander, told the Com

Question Is Equality.
The basic issue was: Who has
the right to say who can enter
Kaesong?
Are the Reds playing host" at
armistice talks, as some Com
munist newspapers have boasted?
Or are the two parties on an
equal basis? Gen. Ridgway and
Admiral Joy left no question how
they feel about it.
The U. N. isn't going to play
second fiddle at the peace talks,
as some commentators have Sug-
gested they we're doing.
Red propaganda has been try
ing to develop the second fiddle
idea and to imply that the U. N,
and especially the United States,
were coming to the Reds asking
for peace.
They haven't used the word
surrender" They put it, as the
Red Koreans Pyongyang radio did
yesterday: American peace over
lures are an indication that the
country has lost the war in Ko-
rea."
Communist propaganda took
the view that it was a Red show.
A Hong Kong Communist news
paper said: I'VE named the place,
made all the necessary prepara-
tions" and directed and guided the
U. N. delegation when it reached
Kaesong.
Maybe so. But the Reds are
not going to say who is to be on
the U. N. delegation, nor what
that delegations task shall be.
That is the point at issue.
Gen. Ridgway said the presence
of professional newsmen "at con-
ference of such major Importance
to the entire world is considered
an inherent right by members OF
the United Nations.
And, unable to get the Reds to
agree voluntarily to the presence
of correspondents, Gen. RidgWay
announced he was going to exercise
that right.
He made the newsmen "an in
tegral part of the United Nations
command delegation" :"
Joy Issues Warning.
The Communists knew that
when they halted the press truck
today. They were. in effect, try
ing to say who could be in the
U.N. delegation. Well, they can't.
Admiral Joy underscored that

gate, Gen. Nam II, that U. N. ne
gotiators would return when the
Reds guaranteed that my convoy.

ing, including such press represen- {

The 20 correspondents who tried {
to enter Kaesong today for the
principle of free press are only Il
emblematic of the real reason the
conferences have come to stale
mate.

 Bob had the reputation in Seward of being a hard working man. He spent many hours out side of the bowling alley with pick and shovel digging out the basement of his building. The alleys were kept in tiptop condi- ton and Val Mikiel, Interna- tional Woman Bowling Cham pion, pronounced them the best she had seen in Alaska"

SMITH DEMANDS TRIAL BY JURY

Howard Smith, who was in- dicted with other Seward liquor dealers for violation of the Sher- man Antitrust Act, refused to alter his plea to "nolo-conten- dere'' this week and demanded a separate jury trial.
 Smith and his wife Doris took over the ownership of the Wagon Wheel roadhouse about a mile beyond city limits on the Airport Road, in August 1948. He always charted more than local dealers according to his statement.
 II never attended any meeting concerning price fixing" he said today, II never belonged to any association, didn't even know there was an association in Sew ard. Where they got my name in connection with it, 1 don't know"
 II will not plead nolo-conten- dere and pay a fine, when l am absolutely not guilty" Smith said.
 Charles Whittinghill, govern ment attorney who has been prosecuting the antitrust cases, returned to Seattle last Satur- day. There is no indication now as to disposition of the charge against Smith. But according to District Attorney Earl Cooper, Smiths insisting upon a not guilty" plea will require a jury trial for him alone unless the government agrees to dismiss the case.
 In a criminal case plea of ''nolo-contendere'' without ad- hitting guilt subjects the defen- dant to a judgment of convlc- ton as if he had pl e d d guilty"
