TopPoyRoise ConfereesPredict
Passage Before Adjournment
By Joseph YOUNG

Chairmen Johnston and Murray
Of the Senate and House Civil
Service Committees said today
Federal pay raise legislation will
be approved by Congress before it
goes home for the year.
The two key members of the
House-Senate conference on Fed
eral pay raise legislation made
their statement as the conferees
prepared to meet today on the
postal employees pay raise bill.
The conferees are scheduled to
meet tomorrow on the pay raise
legislation for classified employees.
The statement by Senator john
ston and Representative Murray
put to rest rumors that Congress
would adjourn this week end with
out having acted on pay raises
legislation.
Delayed on Postal Rates.
What has been holding up prog
ress is the conferees' failure to
agree on the postal rate increase,
which had been deemed the first
order Of business.
Both, House and Senate con-
ferees. however. agreed last night
to put the postal rate increase
measure aside temporarily in Or
der to take up the postal pay
raise bill today. The conferees
are scheduled to return to the
rate bill this afternoon.
Regardless Of whether the con-
ferees reach agreement on the
postal rate bill. House e-Senate
conferees said they would meet
tomorrow on the classified EN-.
ployes pay measure.
Senator Johnston and Repre-
sentative Murray both predicted
quick agreement on the pay mea-
sureS.
The House has approved a fiat
$400 pay raise for classified en-
ployes. while the Senate has voted
"a fiat 10 per cent pay boost fol
classified workers. with an $500
maximum.
It was disclosed today that Pre-
sident Truman summoned the
conferees to the White House Fri
day and urged that the Senate's
bill be adopted by the conferee:
without any changes. However. q
number Of House and Senate con-
ferees say they are in favor oi
some kind Of floor" in the legis.
lation to guarantee lower-saiaried
employees at least a $500 or more
pay raise.
There are two features off the
legislation that are non -contro-

TEST Every 10 Years
For Auto Operators

LEXINGTON, Va, Oct. 49,
Full and complete re-examination
OF every automobile operator at
least once every 10 years was
urged today by a Washington
Municipal Court judge as the fifth
annual Virginia Highway Confer
ence swung into session on high
way safety. ".

periodic examinations would dis
close those with physical or men,
tai handicaps which make their
presence behind steering wheels
a menace to other drivers on the
highway.
ITO issue a drivers permit when
the applicant applies for license.
and then for the remainder of his
or her life to renew that permit in
a perfunctory manner and with
out re-examination, is a ridiculous
and absurd policy Judge Nelson
said. Virginia and the District of
Columbia are guilty of this prac-
tice."
Citizens Support Stressed.
Judge Nelson said there is need
for re-examination of the penal
ties imposed in traffic courts.
Greater emphasis should be placed
on enliSting the support of citi-
sens who appear in traffic court
In the campaign for highway safe
ty, he said.
But there is little room for
leniency or compromise when the
court is dealing with serious and
major traffic offenders" he added.
by and large, the person who
vihully drives his vehicle reck-

condition has forfeited any claim
he may have for sympathy from
the court"

Maryland
and
Virginia
Colonial Beach Piers
Lose Liquor Licenses
in Brief

One liquor license has been re-
voked and four others surrendered
for establishments on piers off
Colonial Beach, Va. after a hear
ing by the Charles County Liquor
Board. -
The Maryland agency revoked
the license of Mrs. Hazel M.
Bowie of Welcome, Md. for the
Little Reno pier after an execu-
tive session which followed a
lengthy public hearing yesterday.
The board ruled that Mrs. Bowie
was not the sole party having
financial interests in the place
where the permit was issued.
Licenses were Cancelled for the
Little Steel Pier, Monte Carlo, the
new Atlanta Pier and a fourth
pier. Only one pier remains which
still has a liquor permit at the
Virginia resort. Whisky by the
drink and slot machines are IL
legal in Virginia, but the piers
come under Maryland jurisdiction
because they project over the
Potomac River.

IverSlal, since the House and Sen
ate already have adopted them:
The raises will be permanent and
they will be retroactive to July !.
LEAVE-Whether Federal en-
Iployes will be placed on a gradu-
lated leave system depends on
whether the conferees agree to
the postal rate bill.
The conferees already have
agreed tentatively to a graduated
leave system based on seniority,
to replace the 20-day plan for
classified employees and the 15-day
leave for postal workers. The
agreement is along the lines Of
the Senate's 13-to-26-days leave
amendment.
However, the conferees are still
In wide disagreement over many
essential provisions Of the postal
rate bill. II, by an chance, agree
ment can't be reached on the rate
bill before adjournment, the leave
provisions Of the bill also would
go by the boards for this year, at
least.
Senator Johnston said today he
still feels the conferees can ajust
their differences on a rate bill.
II this should prove to be the case,
the graduated leave plan would
become law.
The graduated leave plan would
become effective next January 6
and would have the effect of wip-
ing out the present 20-day law.
It would mean that Federal en-
ployes would get their full same
26 days leave this year.

1.-Two Senators Attack
D. {. Hospital Aid Bill
As Debate Opens
= By Don S. Worren

Senator'S Connally of Texas and
Johnston of South Carolina,
Democrats, today sharply attacked
a House-passed bill to permit
Government grants to aid Wash
ington non-prof1t private hospitals
to rebuild their plants.
The measure was defended BY
Senator Pastore, Democrat, Of
Rhode Island, but Senator Con-
nally declared the bill should be
defeated because "the District is
a rich, tax-free city and ought to
be able to raise it's own funds"
Senator Johnston argued there
was no need to pass this bill be-
cause the interested private hos-
pitals could join in the District
Hospital Center to be built on the
grounds of the United States
Soldiers Home, If they wanted to.
Home Rule Next.
Later today the Senate may be-
gin debate over the proposal for
an elected District government.
Both measures, however, were
subject to being shunted aside at
any time the Senate, in its drive
for adjournment, was ready to
take up must" national bills.
Before the end of the day. the
conference report on the new Fed
|eral tax bill was expected to reach
the Senate. It rates immediate
attention. Also awaited are some
belated appropriation bills.
The hospital bill already has
been approved by the House. and
there is big push for its enact
ment. It has been blocked once
in the Senate by objections from
Senator Johnston and Senator
LANCER. Republican, Of North
Dakota.
Amends Center Act.
This bill would amend the
Washington Hospital Center Act
of 1916 to permit Government
grants and loans to private, non
profit hospitals that did not enter
into the center project. These in
clude Providence, Sibley and Casu-
atty Hospitals.
Under the pending bill, such
non-proflt hospitals planning re-
building or improvement projects
would be made eligible for Federal
grants UP to half the cost of new
projects.
The District Government would
be required to repay 80 per cent
of the loans over 80 years, with
out interest. Senator LANCER has
|contended the District should be
required to pay interest on the
advances.
The compromise home rule bill
apparently will encounter ex-
tended debate. Its chances Of
Senate action now are regarded
as small. if Congress is to ad-
journ by the end of this week.
Senator Johnston, probably with
the help of some other Senators,
is expected to start lengthy de-
bate. .-'

This bill would abolish the ap-
pointed Board of Commissioners

In addition, there would be o

ing District delegate in the House.

cred to pass all local legislation

crowd gathered rather slowly, as
there were so many to stop and
speak to, to shake hands with and
occasionally to give a great big
hug and kiss to the ones they
hadn't seen for many, many years
