that the objective may be revised
from tiEae to time to fit strategic
and mobilization plans.
1t added. without explanation
that the current objective COM
pares with figure of $3.50, ,000,-
600 six months previously.
Covers January to June.
The report covered stockpiline
activity from last January through
last June During that time, the
value OF the stockpile on hand
increased from $2,54O,000, 900 tc
So billion.
The rate of stockpiling contin-
ued to increase" and an appropri-
alton last January allowed vast
acceleration" of contracts for ma
terials, the board said.
Congressional committees have
twice issued highly critical reports
of the stockpiling program under
past Munition Board administra-
tion. Present chairman of the
board is John D. Small.
The board commented that it's
buying program is curtailed by two
factors, shortages of material and
competition in the market.
Cites Serious Shortages.
ut should be realized by every
one concerned with our stockpile
of strategic and critical mate
rials," the report said, that there
are serious national and world
wide shortages of most of them.
AS a result. the Munitions Board,
due to circumstances beyond its
control, is unable to acquire these
materials at it's target rates.
With the steadily increasing
need for materials for current
military production, plus the
urgent needs of the stockpile and
the ned for maintaining a healthy
industrial economy, competition
for limited supplies of materials
has become keen. It is the dual
function of the new civilian agen-
IcieS to promote increased produc-
Ition and imports of scarce ma
Iterials and to distribute the avail
able supplies among claimants.
Thus the present rate of stockpil-
ing acquisition, although in most
cases below the targets set by the
Munitions Board, is governed by
the determinations of the civilian
agencies. This is the most sig
Inif1cant change in the field of
Istockpiling programs and policies

before the old legislation expired

emphasized it was being accepted
only because he could not risk the
lapse of its rent ceiling and strong
priority control clauses.
1--WE will not be able to hold

statement.
The Presidents blast was a re-

some of his own party leaders
who defended the legislation which
fell far short of the goals he had
urged to combat imitation.
Deficiencies to Be Studied.
Key presidential aides, Mr.. Tru-
man explained, are now making a
pinpoint study of the new law to
ascertain definitely it's deficiencies.
These Congress will be urged to
remedy.
There was speculation in this
connection that the President
might wait little while for the
full impact of the new law to be
felt-and then take his case to
the country. He has been talking
about tentative plans for a
Whistle-stop tour later in the year.

Reserve Rule Keeps
Minor Leagues Alive,
1rautman Tesfifies
Many Small Boil Clubs
Finunced Through Civic

By Miriom Ottenberq
BY Miriom Ottenbero

The boss of the minor leagues
today told the House Monopoly
subcommittee that the small bust
ness men who finance minor cir
cult clubs out of civic pride" need
the reserve clause" to protect
their not very profitable invest
ment.
The reserve clause" focal point
of the antitrust investigation OF
baseball, ties a player to the club
that owns him and prohibits him
from shopping around for a bet
ter-paying job.
The latest defense of the reserve
rule came from George Traut-
man, president of the National
Association of Professional Base
ball Leagues.
On economic grounds, Mr.
Trautman also defended the ter
ritorial rule which gives a club
exclusive rights to play organized
baseball in a particular area.
Minors Are NO Bonanza
The territorial rule, Mr.. Traut-
man contended. is nothing more
than a recognition of the economic
fact that it requires an area to
support a baseball team and it
is better that one shall live than
that two shall die"
Mr.. Trautman assured the sub
committee that operating a minor
league club is mo bonanza" The
lower league clubs, he said, are
operated primarily "as civic en-
terprises and out of a sense of civic
loyalty and PRIDE.

$400 U. S. and DC. Pay Raise,
Including Teachers, Police and
Firemen, Voted by House Group
Non-Defense Agencies
Must Cut Personnel
To Absorb Cost
By Joseph YOUNG

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today approved $400-a-
year permanent pay raise for al
Federal and District Government
classified employees. including
Washington policemen, firemer
and school teachers.
At the same time, the commit
tee moved to hold down the cost
of such pay raise by adopting
the provision requiring non
defense agencies to absorb the
cost of the salary boost by trim.
ming personnel.
Approximately IL million Gov
ernment classified employees are
covered by the legislation, includ-
ing about 235,0O0 in the Wash
ington area.
The inclusion of District police
men, f1remen and school teachers
came as a surprise, since such mat
ters are generally handled in the
House by the District Committee.
Retroactive to July l.
The $400 increase voted by the
committee would be retroactive to
July /.
The group had been inclined to
give the Governments classified
employees somewhat less than the
$400 figure it voted for postal
workers yesterday. However, it
was decided to give classified en-
ployes the same amount. with non
defense departments and agencies
absorbing the cost.
The amendment sponsored by
Representative Corbett, Repub-
lican. of Pennsylvania, leaves it
up to the President to determine
which agencies are to be desig-
mated defense units.
Also included in the bill are en-
ployes of the foreign service, the
Veterans Administrators depart
ments of medicine and surgery,
legislative and judicial employees.
Action Covers Top Bracket.
Although the committee at one
time had considered leaving out
employees in the top bracket SAL
aries, the bill approved today in
cludes everybody covered by the
Federal classification act.
The committees action in re-
ouiring non-defenSe agencies to
absorb the pay raise cost is the
first time that such a provision
has been adopted by the group in
handling pay legislation during
recent years. However. the House
and Senate Appropriations Com
mittees in the years when pay
raises were granted always have
required some of the agencies to
absorb a good share of the pay
raise cost by reducing personnel.
In most cases, this was done by
not filling vanacies.
The Senate Civil Service Com
mittee last month approved an
"a per cent pay boost for Govern
ment workers but the Senate has
not yet acted.
Reversal on Postal Increase.
The committee yesterday sue
ceeded in reaching agreement on
a $400 pay boost for the $4,000
postal workers. Moreover, the
$400 raise would be permanent.
This represented a reversal of

Acheson Rejects
Reds Proposal
On Korean Zone
Line on 38th Parallel
Cunnot Be Defended,
Secretary Explains
BY the Associated Press

Secretary of State Acheson re-
Ijected fatty today the Communist
proposal that a buffer zone be set
up in Korea along the 38th Par
allel.
Mr.. Acheson told a news con-
ference the Reds wish to go back
to a line over which they launched
an unprovoked attack-to start
the Korean War-and he said that
is not acceptable.
He added that Secretary of De-
Ifense Marshall has made it en-
tlrely clear that any demarcation
line must be a defensible line.
Events have shown, Mr.. Acheson
said. that this is not true of the
38th Parallel.
Talks Essentially Military.
| He declared that the talks now
under way at Kaesong are essen
TALLY military talks, but that the
Communists have been trying to
use them for a political purpose.
BY this he apparently meant
that instead of being willing to
stop the fighting where the armies
now are and where both sides
would have strong defense posi-
tlons, the Reds have tried to get
all of North Korea again in Com
munist control while leaving the
South to the Allied forces. This
would be return to the situa-
ton which existed before the
Communist assault last summer.
| At the moment, Mr.. Acheson
said. truce talks seem to be stalled.
Secretary Acheson also said
that Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway
and his delegation to the Kae-
song meetings have handled their
share OF the negotiations force
fully and soundly.
Won't Say They're DeadIOcked.
| Mr.. AcheSon did not express
either optimism or pessimism on
the progress of the talks but
neither would he say that they
were deadlecked.
He refused to state precisely
what the U. N. negotiators were
seeking in the way of a buffer
zone location. Other officials
have made clear that the U. N.
proposal for an armistice line
is based on the present battle

The Pyongyang North Korean)
radio said the U. N. seeks a line
running from Kosong. 81 miles
north of the 38th Parallel on the
east coast, to the Ongjin PENN
sula on the west coast. The

called that this Government al

He refused to elaborate on what
further action is in preparation.
To talk freely about this now, he
said, might not be in the best
interests of Mr.. Oats.
The next step in carrying out
