Congress Expected
To Approve Pension
Increase Bill Today

The House today approved and
sent to the Senate the bill in
creasing benefits for the Govern
ment's 1000 annuitants, includ-
ing nearly 10000 in the Washing
ton area. The bill may pass the
Senate and go to the White House
before night.
The way for final approval was
cleared yesterday when House
Senate conferees agreed on a
compromise between. the original
House and Senate measures. 4.
Provisions Listed.
Here is what the compromise
legislation provides:
l. A $36 to 1924 annual increase
for retired Federal employees and
survivors Of deceased Government
workers, with the maximum raise
limited to 1924 or IS per cent Of
their present annuities, whichever
is less.
2. A temporary 22-month in
crease that will end on June 80,
1854, unless Congress votes funds
to extend the increase. ~
3. Annuitants drawing more
than 2,160 will not receive q pen
sion increase.
The original House bill had
called for temporary 1O-month
increase. In retaining the Senate's
22-month provision, the conferees
agreed to end the increases on
June 80, 1855, no matter what
Congress does in the way of fu-
ture appropriations. This would
mean that annuitants would re-
ceive a cut back in pensions on
that date.
The conferees explained, how
ever, that the bill provides for a
comprehensive study of the Civil
Service retirement system to be
submitted to Congress by the end
of next year. This is expected to
result in an overhauling of the
retirement system = including
some provision to avert a pension
reduction-before June 80, 1865.
Under the increase. an empIoye
would receive $50 for, each six
months he has been retired.
The increases would be limited
TO those employees retired before
April I, 1852.

Pravda Calls Both Factions
AT Convention CORRUPT
By the Assoeiofed Press

MOSCOW, July 5.-The Com
munist Party newspaper Pravda
described pro-Taft and -Eisen-
hover factions at the Republican
National Convention in Chicago
today as just "as corrupt as the
Truman administration"
Pravda indicated the paxty's
presidential nomination would be
made on the basis of secret
deals" at the convention.
Proponents of Taft and Eisen-
hover are accusing each other of
'thievery,' bribery and 'corrup-
tion,'" the newspapers reported.
Pravda said the party's plat
form was to be kept as general as
possible. particularly in the for
eign affairs sections.

Pick Delegates Today
By the A.seeiated Pres.

JACKSON, Miss, July 5.-Mis-
sissippi's loyal" Democrats, q
faction that sprang into existance
six weeks ago to challenge the
regular States Rights group, elect
delegates today that will bid fol-
seats at the national convention
July 81.
The loyalists, following course
Iof allegiance to the national Dem
|ocratic Party, are committed to
the nominee and platform adopted
at the Chicago convention.
The faction is similar to one
that remained loyal to President
Truman in 1948 when the regular
Mississippi party bolted to support
a ticket of Gov. Strom Thurmond.
South Carolina, and Fielding
Wright. Mississippi.
Mrs. Clark Heads Group.
Mrs. John Clark of Dekalb, a
leader of the former pro-Truman
group, also guides the destiny of
the new loyalist faction but stout
ly maintains they are different
movements.
The convention today is ex-
lpected to adopt many of the
IplankS advocated by the states
Fighters.
Mrs. Clark declared her group
like the states Fighters, is opposed
to a compulsory fair employment
practices commission and civil
rights program.
But the difference, she stresses
is in the two factions approach
to the problem. In their own
convention two weeks ago. the
States Rights Party declared in
resolution they must have IAN ac-
lceptable candidate and platform
to support in 1852. They left the
inference that if this demand is
not met at Chicago. they will dc
as they did in 1948-support q
third party ticket.
With both factions seeking
Mississippi's A convention seats
% delegates and % alternates, il
remains unanswered which group
will get the national party nod.
States Fighters Confident.
The States Fighters declare
their confidence is based on Ma
tional Chairman Frank McKin-
ney's statement that he wanted to
cement the party rift started
W hen Mississippi, Louisiana,
South Carolina and Alabama
broke away in 1913
The loyalists hint broadly that
they have the support of Presi-
dent Truman.
In relative strength in Missis-
sippi the loyalists are poor
second. In their recent precinct
and county conventions they
made a poor showing, often I'M
able to muster more than one or
two people.
But their leaders say their pri-
mary objective at this time is to
win recognition in Chicago. After
that, they say, will be time
enough to build a State party.

partment's ONCE Of Alien Prop
erty.
At the same time. he said he was
considering an independent study
Of procedures Of the entire de-
partment.
The announcements constitute
the new Attorney Generals biggest
strides in his moves to uncover
and eliminate any wrongdoing in
the Justice Department. His
statements raised possibilities that
the administration might beat to
the punch Capitol Hill inquiries
Of the law enforcement agency.
SepatOrs Starting Probe.
A Senate Judiciary Suhcommit-
tee is just starting an intensive
investigation Of the alien property
program. which handles enemy
interests seized by this Govern

Harold I. Baynton, former head
Of the alien property Office was

Mr.. McGranery told reporters

to it,"
The Attorney General said also

had exercised that right properly
land to the best of its ability had
honestly passed on all contests
before it. Mr.. Appel maintained
that the law was explicit in say
ling only party members should
vote in the precinct and other
conventions.
To insure that only party mem
bers should vote in these conven-
tions. the voters were required to
take a pledge that they were Re-
Ipublicans. Mr.. Appel and his COL
leagues insisted that thousands
tof Democrats were persuaded by
the Porter group to take part in
these precinct conventions: that
advertisements were published in
the newspapers telling the Demo-
Gratis they could vote in the Re-
publican conventions and still
vote in the Democratic primaries
later in the year. Mr.. Appel
charged that this was an act of
ill-faith, and that the fraud was
committed by the Porter group,
not by the zweifel regular Repub-
licanS.
Gigantic Conspiracy" Seen.
No effort was made by the pro-
Taft attorneys to show that the
pro- Eisenhower vote in many of
the precinct conventions out
numbered the pro-Taft vote. They
insisted, however, that the State
Executive Committee had used its
best judgment. and had decided
that the greater part of these
Eisenhower voters were not bona
f1de Republicans, and never in
tended to become Republicans.
They presented a number of af-
lfidavits to the effect that some of
the Eisenhower voters were, in
reality. Democrats.
Judge Dawson argued that the
efforts of the Porter group to get
Democrats to vote in the precinct
conventions amounted to q "gi-
gantic conspiracy"
In rebuttal. the attorneys for the
Porter Eisenhower group charged
that Mr.. Appel and his colleagues
were arguing the law because
they did not have any facts" They
argued. too. that the State Execu-
tive Committee. in passing upon
delegate contests, had decided in
every instance that the pro- Eisen-
hover voters had acted in bad
faith when they signed the pledge
saying they were Republicans, and
that the pro-Taft voters had acted
in good faith. They added that
there was no evidence whatever to
uphold such decisions.

Violent Deaths Pass
300 Over Holiday; Toll
In Fireworks Ebbs
BY the Assoeioted Press

The toll of violent deaths dur
ing the July 4th holiday week end
exceeded 300 today, bringing
only one glimmer of encourage
ment-the Nation appeared to be
winning its campaign against
careless use of fireworks.
Only two deaths-in a total of
306-were caused by fireworks.
Traffic accidents accounted for
100 fatalities, while drownings
took 80 lives and Is persons died
in miscellaneous accidents during
the first 81 hours of the three-day
week end. tE
7 Die in New Jersey.
Seven persons, including a 3la-
year-old child, were killed in two
accidents on the New Jersey
Turnpike yesterday. This brought
to Is the number of fatalities on
the superhighway since it was
opened eight months ago.
One of the turnpike accidents
involved truck and two automo-
biles. Five persons were killed.
In the other two sailors died when
the car in which they were driv-
ing swerved off the road.
Near Bedford, Pa, an auto
skidded on wet pavement and
crashed into another car on the
Pennsylvania Turnpike at Donegal
yesterday killing five persons and
injuring two.
Fireworks Toll Is Low.
The low fireworks toll was a
simple reminder of the effective
ness of campaigns to eliminate
this holiday hazard through edu-
cation and regulation.
The traffic toll, however, was
ahead of the comparable
Memorial Day week end of 1852
when 1863 persons died in auto
It was almost keeping
pace with the National Safety
Councils forecast of 430 traffic
deaths during the weekend period
from 6 pm. Thursday to mid
