In Communist countries the

routine activity for a newspaper

BY the Assoeioted Press

PITTSBURGH, July 2.-West-
Iinghouse Corp. today announced it
has agreed to give the majority Of
it's 10000 employees a 9-cent hour
ly wage increase.
President Gwilyn Price said the
pay increase is retroactive to

quest for the increase and by
congressional action forestalling
price rollbacks."
On June % the WSB gave the
green light for the 9-cent boost to
the $4,000 members of the CIO
International Union of Electrical
Workers who are employed by
Westinghouse at plants scattered
across the Nation.
The increase also goes to 5000
members of the AFL Interna-
tional Brotherhood Of Electrical
Workers.
These two unions already had
signed last month to extend their
contracts one year. Westinghouse,
at that time, said the agreement
must be subject to approval of the
WSB and the Office of Price Sta
bilization. The CIO union had
threatened to strike July 16 if
the rate increase was not put into
effect by that time.
Mr.. Price declared that no in
crease is contemplated in West
inghouse products as result of
the wage boost which he said will
cost the company $40 million
year.

Korea Peace May End Gen. Marshall Warns
Price, Wage Controls, Against Demobi|izing
# Korea Peace Comes
Tells Foreign Aid Hearing
Congress Was to Blame
For Situation in 1945
By Robert K. Walsh

Defense Secretary Marshall to-
day cautioned Congress, in event
of peace in Korea, against hasty
demobilization such as resulted
from "pressures" he said legisla-
tors applied after World War II.
Returning for a second day Of
questioning at House Foreign At
fairs. Committee hearings on the
proposed $8.5 billion foreign aid
program, Gen. Marshall sharply
challenged statements Of Repre-
sentative Frances P. Bolton, Re-
publican, of Ohio. Mrs. Bolton
indicated she believed prime re-
sponsibility for rapid demobiliza-
ton in 1945 and 1946 rested on
President Truman who issued
orders to that effect.
Despite Mrs. Bottoms reminder
that many members of Congress
opposed the speed with which
American troops were brought
home from Europe and the Pa
cific, Gen. Marshall contended
that 1.-The main pressures for
rapid demobilization came from
Congress"
The principal preSsures, he said,
began to be applied before the
armed services were able to put
in effective operation their plan
for gradual reduction and dis
charges under a point system.
He recalled that he appeared
before congressional groups at
that time and warned against too
rapid demobilization.
Gen. Marshall also declared that
military appropriations were cut
to such an extent that demobiliza-
ton had to be speeded up.
Representative Judd, Republi-
can, of Minnesota, said he agreed
with Mrs. Bolton that Congress
did not deserve undue blame for
that demobilization. When he
said that similar situation might
result from a cease-flre in Korea
Gen. Marshall declared:
I'VE must not slow down. We
must display to the world our de-
termination to go through with
fighting if necessary and to be
strong enough to be able to stand

Eric Johnston Urges
$40 Billion Tax Rise
To Check Initiation
Even q Balanced Budget
May Not Be Enough to
Win Fight, He Says

success or failure OF the ngnC
against imitation will depend on
whether Congress enacts an ade-
Iquate tax increase bill, Economic
IStabilization Director Eric Johns
ton told the Senate Finance Com
lmittee today.
Mr.. Johnston, in his prepared
statement for hearings that
opened last Thursday, urged ap-
proval of a $40 billion tax boost.
The House recently passed a S7.2
billion tax increase measure.
| AS the third administration wit
ness to advocate the $40 billion
figure, Mr.. Johnston stressed the
need for "pay-as-you-go taxation"
as a means of preventing inf1a-
tion, stabilizing the national
economy and avoiding deficit
financing.
Taft, Millikin Grill Johnston.
Republican Senators Taft, of
Ohio, and Millikin, of Colorado put
Mr.. Johnston through long ex-
ANIMATION on what the admins
tration is accomplishing through
price and wage controls to hold
the line against imitation.
Senator Taft predicted the price
and wage freeze theory lis not
going to work in time of peace. ."
The Ohio Senator drew from the
witness an admission that his Of
flee does not expect to reduce the
cost of living by the price rollback
policy, but does expect to keep
lit from going higher.
The Ohio Senator said he also
doubted the administration will
succeed in holding the line for
wages at the 10 per cent increase
formula of last January. He ex-
pressed the view that the General
Motors wage formula providing
for increases based on increased
productivity will have to be al
lowed for industry generally.
No ALLEGATION Plans.
Mr.. Johnston told Senator Mil
likin his Office has no plans for
allocating civilian goods except
where necessary for the defense
program.
Senator Taft again suggested
there is no need for Congress to
rush the new tax bill through, in
view of the $3.3 billion surplus
that existed at the close of the
fiscal year Saturday night.
Treasury Secretary Snyder and
Budget Director Frederick J. Law
ton were previous witnesses asking
support Of a $40 billion program.
Defense Mobilization Director
Charles E. Wilson is expected to
take the same position in testi-
mony tomorrow.

that we need your help" Mr..

Senator Aiken SAYS
Vermont Republicans View
Differs Sharply From Stond
OfAdministrution Leaders
BY Francis P. DoueIos

Congress might let price and
wage controls die at the end Of
this month if there is an armiS-
tice in Korea. Senator Aiken, Re
publican, of Vermont, said today.
"I think an armistice, If one
is negotiated, would pretty well
wipe out whatever little need there
may be now for those controls, y
Senator Aiken asserted.
II think a settlement of the war
probably would cause a lot OF
prices to decline, and that would
leave little excuse for continuing
controls"
He added that he believes some
House leaders may have had that
in mind in insisting on no more
than a 31-day extension of the
present law. This was signed by
President Truman Saturday.
The Senator's attitude was al
variance with the position of
many in the administration that
even though there is halt tc
the Korean war, the already au-
thorized defense production will
mount steeply this fall, accom-
panied by strong inf1ationary
