One third of the manpower Of
the armed services Is composed Of
civilians. These civilians are as
much q part Of the services as
soldiers, sailors airmen and
marines. In the Navy the ratio Of
civilian to military is even great
er. Why do the services employ
so many civilians?
There are several reasons. Civil
ians provide the military with
technical talent not otherwise
available, Employment of civilians
+ srrnits the military to maintain
q continuity Of administration.
Maintaining nucleus of trained
rcss-onnel at the various naval
ore activities is good insurance
5ainst expansion during emer-
gencies, and by using civilians, the
military is permitted to utilize the
Tallitary and professional skills of
its officers and men. where they
az most needed--at sea.
Off hand, most people believe
that civilians employed by the
services are white collar" work
ers. This is far from correct. The
ms :ority Of civilians employed by
the military are like those en-
ployed In Key West - mechanics,
machinists, painters, pipesitters.
laborers, workers Of the industrial
type.
One reason the Navy employs so
many civilians Is the maintenance
Of It's civilian fleet, the Military
Sea Transportation Service. MSTS
has 4 fleet Of more than 100 sea-
going freighters. tankers, and pas
senger ships, manned entirely by
bell bottomed civilians.
There Is no dollar.profit system
Of measuring the value of the civil
lian worker, as the military Is not
operated for profit. Civilian en-
ployees Of the services are in this
respect, like their uniformed ship
mates. worth only what their
national security Is worth. Right

81 INCREASE
ASKED FOR

WASHINGTON (Navy Times)-
A flat 8 per cent boost in the pay
of every serviceman from recruit
to general and admiral is going to
be asked of Congress by the De-
Tense Department.
President Truman endorsed the
request, Assistant Defense Secre-
tary Anna Rosenberg said this
week.
The Defense Bill win not touch
allowances, as the last bill did.
Nor viii it go into any hazard or
special pays.
The Defense commission on in
centive pay has completed its
study of hazard and special pays
and allowances and is now apply
ing the final polish to its report,
it also was learned this week.
Therefore, although such pays
will not be in the Defense s per
cent increase bill soon to go to
Congress, the commissions re-
commentators about them will be
available for simultaneous consid-
Grafton, if Congress wants to han
die a one-package bill.
How Congress will react to a
proposal for increase in basic pay
only is hard to predict. The last
Defense request---for a 10 per cent
increase in pay and in rental and
subsistence allowances---came out
of Congress as of l May 1852 a
boost of only per cent in basic
pay but ID per cent in allow
anceS.
This was an average increase of
only 81 per cent, Defense remind
ed this week The extra per cent
is needed now, it started, to COM
pensate for the cost-of-living in.
crease the / May 1852 act did not
take care of and the cost increases
since then.
The, two proposals combined
mean an increase Of 1876 per cent
in total compensation since l Oct
i949, "in a period" Defense said,
when the consumers price index,
issued by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, rose almost exactly the
same"
Mrs. Rosenberg said the Presi-
dent strongly favors the increase
''in the interest Of equity and JUS
tice for our men and women in
uniform"
In another pay development this
week. Rep. Van Zant tR., Pa. ] re-
introduced his proposal that basic
pay go up and down automatically
with the consumers price index.
Mr.. Van Zandt, Naval Reserve
captain, is member of the Arm.
ed Services Committee which will
handle the Defense pay bill when
II reaches Congress.
DefenSe'S decision TO recommend
pay increase only and not touch
allowance. was based on the fact
that the last bin gave a greater
increase in allowances than was
asked for.
II does not pin rs case for an
ether increase on the price index
alone. although that shows that
service compensation, despite the
May 1852 increase, has lagged be.

THE PITCH"
ON THE NAVY
53 CARNIVAL

Last month, the City of Key
West was invaded by the Navy.
Hundreds of sailors in their natty
blue and white uniforms began
knocking on doors, putting up pos
ters, and literally shouting from
the street corners, for support of
their 1858 Navy Charity Carnival,
prompting some of Key Vests
newer residents, to ask, ''What's
behind it all? What's the pitch?"
In 1949 the Navy at Key West
sponsored its first Navy Charity
Carnival, an innovation in collect
ing money for charity, raising
$12,771. The purpose of the Carni-
val was to provide means where
by all Key West charitable organi.
zations' fund raising drives could
be combined into one affair, per-
mitting the Navy to raise the max
imum amount of money with one
concentrated annual drive. The
second Carnival in 1850 was sue.
cessful, bringing in $4,000. The
third Carnival in 1851 boosted the
take for Charity to $4,000, and
1952's Carnival set a record Of
sorts, hauling in $44, 1850.
Money raised, was in The past,
donated to ths following local
charities:

U. S. Pilots Spurned Offer
To Teach Reds, Noel Says
By the Assoeiated Press

TOKYO. Aug. 25.-The Chi
nese Communists offered cap
tured American flyers high pay
and luxurieS to become air in
structors for them. AP Photog-
rapher Frank Noel disclosed to-
day.
Mr.. Noel, a prisoner Of the
Reds for SO months until his re-
lease at Panmunjom August 9,
said the Americans spurned the
offers.
"The Chinese wanted Ameri-
cans for their air schools" Mr..
Noel said. They didn't seem to
want Russians around. They told
out pilots they would equal their
Air Force pay plus bonuses, and
that they would set them up in
private houses and give them
other luXurieS."
Mr.. Noel said he did not know
exactly where the Chinese plan
ned to take flyers who might
have accepted the offers, but they
apparently wanted the Ameri-
cans for air schools inside China
and transport flying.
Noel said he knew Of five
American pilots who had been
approached by the Chinese, and
that in each case the flyers
turned down the offers.
One of these was Capt. Zach
airy Dean of Wichita, Kans.. a
pilot who was released by the
Reds last April in the exchange
of sick and wounded. The others
cannot be named.

Basic Export Quotas
BY the Asseeietad Press

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The In
ternational Sugar Conference
yesterday made public a provi-
sional world marketing agree
ment designed to assure balanced
sugar supplies at equitable and
stable prices"
A month-long conference Of
delegates and observers from so
countries set a price range of
3.25 to 4.35 United States cents
per pound for raw sugar and
fixed an elastic ceiling of $780,
600 tons on exports to free world
markets by member producers.
The agreement provides for a
sugar council which will act to
expand or contract exports to
maintain the specified price
range.
Subject to ratification by
member governments, the accord
is to come into force January /.
1854.
It is to run for five years, but
after three years members will
be allowed to withdraw or press
for revisions.
The agreement assigns top
basic export quotas to Cuba, with
2.250,000 tons; Dominican Re-
public and Formosa, 100000
tons: Peru, 100000 tons; Indo-
nesia, 250,000 tons: Czechoslo-
vakia. 275.000 tons; Poland, 222,-
900 tons; Russia, 100000 tons.
Sugar transactions inside the
French Union and behind the
Iron Curtain are not affected by
the agreement.
Countries adhering to the
British Commonwealth sugar
agreement of 1851, including the
British territories of Australia
and South Africa, are limited in
1854 and 1855 to total annual
exports of 2,413,793 tons and to
2,490.018 in 1856.

Ban on Greeting P0Ws
touches Off Near-Riot
RN tha Associntac Pra,a

ALAMEDA, Calf, Aug. Is. -
A near riot was touched off at
Alemeda Naval Air Station yes
terday when the Navy barred
wives, other relatives and sweet
hearts from welcoming three
shiploads of returning Korean
war veterans.
A restraining line Of Marine
guards held back about 200 greet
ers as 2,340 soldiers debarked
from the attack transports Hen
rico, Lenawee and Begor. Those
in the crowd became an
CRY and forced their way past
the Marine line. Then they ran
into another group of leather
neck sentries.
Finally the Navy-after blam-
ing the Army, then retracted
that-reported it had erred and
the relatives could visit the
troops.
But by that time hundreds of
troops had passed on toward
Camp Stoneman and processing
for leaves, leaving many rela-
tives stranded without q greet
