State Department
Defends Payments 10
Radio Commentators
BY the Associated Press

The State Department yesterday
defended its action in paying five
Well-known radio commentators to
write for the Voice of America
program.
Representative Hill. Republican,
of Colorado told the House Tues
day the department had placed
itself in a highly dubious posi-
ton" by using the services of the
five men. He said the common
tatorS frequently have occasion
to pass judgment and express
opinions regarding the same State
Department that is making cash
payments to them"
Assistant Secretary of State Ed
ward w. Barrett said yesterday
the commentators were employed
in line with suggestions from both
Republican and Democratic leg
iSlatorS who believe the voice"
program should have the best
professional talent available"
He said they were paid far be-
low their normal pay sale and de-
cIared it was a gross injustice for
any one to imply that distin-
guished American radio common
tator could be swayed to change
his views in any respect because
he received a nominal fee of $50
Mr.. Barrett, in charge of the
Voice program. made his reply in a
letter to Representative Rooney
Democrat, of New York.
He said the radio men have been
extremely generous and deserve
very sincere thanks from the Ma
ton for doing this work at fees
substantially below those they can
command elsewhere"
The five commentators named
by Mr.. Hill are Charles Colling-
wood, Bill Downs, Griffng Ban
croft and Eric Sevareid, all of the
Columbia Broadcasting System
and Ben Grauer of the National
Broadcasting Co.

bB Salaries
 ConleUnder
 Control Now
By Associated Press

With the exception of Stan Mus ial, who may lose his $35,000 pay hike, baseball players in general won't be affected by the new govern ment ruling which puts control on their salaries.
 The Wage Stabilization Board in Washington has decided to put ( ceiling on baseball salaries. Th.s is what it amounts to:
 A baseball team can't pay any player more than it paid its highest salaried star in 1850.
 Musial, the St. Louis Cardinals brilliant outfielder, falls into this category.
 Last season, Mus..l. the Cards highest paid player, received a re- por,ed S50,00o. This season he re- portedly gbt a S35,ooO increase.
 But under the rules - which, in- cidentally, aren't official yet Mus ial would lose his pay hike.
 The board contends that wage paid players in 1851 must conform generally with club payroll practice in 195O.
