Truman SIaps Back
AT Bar Associations
For Judgeship Polls
They Don't Make Judicial
Appointments, He Says
In Blust ot Douglas
By Joseph A. Fox

President Truman today slapped
at the Chicago and Cook County
Bar Associations which are poll
ing their members to determine if
two men sponsored by Senator
Douglas, Democrat. of Illinois for
Federal judgeships are more ac-
ceptable than the two the Presi-
dent nominated.
Bar associations do not make
judicial appointments, the Presi-
dent said when a reporter asked
him to comment on Senator
Douglas move in Chicago asking
the bar association poll. The
Constitution still prevails, the
President added.
Douglas Choices Ignored.
Mr.. Truman pointedly ignored
Senator Douglas nominees last
week when he asked the Senate
to confirm Cornelius j. Harring-
ton and Joseph H. Drucker for
the judicial posts. Senator Doug

Epstein and William H. King, jr

Senator Douglas, after asking
the bar associations to poll their
members on the acceptability of
the Presidents candidates, said
he would base his future course
OF action on the outcome Of the
poll. He indicated that he would

III the bar association members
said they preferred Mr.. King and

u. 5. Pay Raise
For Top Bracket
Vain|y Debated
House Group FoiIs
To Break Deadlock;
Truman Renews Plea
By Joseph YOUNG

The House Civil Service Com
mittee today failed to break a
deadlock on whether the Gov
ernment's top-salaried employees
should be included in it's Federal
pay-raise bill.
And, as the House unit debated
the point, President Truman re-
Senote Group Rejects Ferguson 1917 Per-
sonneI Cut in Supply Bill. Pose A
newed his plea for a 7 per cent
across-the-b board Federal pay raise,
telling Congress his proposal has
great Importance to the defense
program"
Ducking Mr. Truman's per-
centage increase proposal. the
House committee already has
agreed on a temporary two-year
pay increase bill and is expected
to approve a salary boost of be-
tween $3.50 and $400 a year for
Government classified and postal
workers. The Senate Civil Service
Committee favors an 8.4 per cent
raise.
The House committee deadlock
finds some members who want to
exclude from the pay bill those
employees earning $4,000 or more
| a year. A few others want those
earning $4,000 or more excluded.
viii Draft Compromise.
Committee members, however,
said it appeared that a slight
majority in the group, including
Chairman Murray, favored some
pay increase for top-bracket per-
sonnet There were predictions
from some that Mr.. Truman would
veto pay bill that excluded top
salaried workers.
The committee decided to have
its professional staff draft a COM
promise formula for its considera-
ton tomorrow when it hopes to
report the measure.
There was some talk of giving
employees in the $10,000-or-more
categories a fat sum raise but a
lesser amount than that given the
rest of Governments employees. 1t
was pointed out that to cut off
these top bracket employees from
Iany pay boost would result in
situations where employees in the
immediate grade below them would
make more money as a result Of
their raise.
The Presidents proposal was
embodied in message in which
he made certain recommendations
on legislative proposals included in
the annual report of the Civil
Service Commission.

/ In his message the President
supported the Civil Service Com
mission in a plan to assure that
downward reclassification of a po-
Isition will not reduce the salary of
an incumbent. On three other
items he recommended that ac-
tion be deferred.
The commission would continue
to exempt certain trades, crafts
and laboring positions from the
Classification Act and base their
pay rates on prevailing rates in To-
cal communities.

By Robert K. Welsh

A Senate subcommittee today
criticized the Reconstruction FL

unrepaid. a Banking and Currency
subcommittee reported to the Sem

"RFC should not have made the
original loan (of $34.4 million in
October, 1949). The subcommit-
tee does not believe that the in

ABOUT the disagreement, SalQ Lt.
Col. w. j. Preston.
Neither the Communist nor the
United Nations delegation would
bulge from its previous position
on the one basic issue under de-
bate. said Col. Preston.
Troop Withdrawal Issue.
The issue is believed to be the
Red demand that foreign troops
Withdraw from Korea, although
no one has said so officially.
Each side was very emphatic
in its stand" said Col. Preston.
'Never have I heard the same
thing stated in so many different
ways than today.
Each statement was just as
emphatic-or even more so-than
the previous one"
Col. Preston said his remarks
had the approval of the United
Nations command. Presumably
this included Gen. Matthew B.
Ridgway. The supreme Allied
commander flew back to Korea
from his Tokyo headquarters in
response to a message from his
