Details of the case, in which a

Former Assistant Attorney

Justice Department records
placed before the subcommittee

House Is Asked
ToApprove12%
Po|icePay Rise
Leaders of District
Group Seek Action
On Senate Version
By Don S. Worren

House District Committee
leaders today decided to ask
the House to approve the Senate
IL per cent police -firemen pay
raise bill rather than the 16 per
cent House-passed version. House
approval, to be sought Monday,
would send the bill to the White
House.
The Senate passed bill aver
aging IL per cent as a compro-
mise between the House version
and a recommendation by the
Federal Budget Bureau that the
raise should not be more than
8 per cent.
Would Avoid Risk.
Representative Kearns, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania author Of
the House bill, was advised that
spokesmen for members of the
Police and Fire Departments
wanted the Senate version en-
acted rather than run the risk
that the bill might be lost If it
was sent to conference.
Mr.. Kearns, chairman of the
Police and Fire subcommittee of
the House District Committee,
said he was willing to recon-
mend this action since the Sem
ate in limiting the pay raise to
IL per cent had followed the re-
classification pattern of the
House bill.
Also. he said, should it be
found that the raise in the Sen
ate measure was not adequate,
the subject could be taken up
again next year.
Simpson Goes Along.
Representative Simpson. Re-
publican. of Illinois, chairman Of
the House District Committee,
promptly approved Mr.. Kearns'
suggestion. He agreed there was
practical sense in avoiding the
delays or hazards that might
arise if the House insisted on
its own bill and sent the measure
to conference.
Under the Senate version. the
pay raise would become effec-
tive July l. The starting pay for
rookie police and f1remen would
be raised from $3,410 to $4,000.
or 500 less than that proposed
in the House bill. The Senate
added a $500 pay raise for the
chiefs of the Police and Fire De-
partments. which had been left
out of the House bill because
the chiefs were given a step up
in the past year.

Peyton Ford arranged the COM

A. Olson, a Minneapolis physician
who in 1949 pleaded nolo con-

Caudle dragged his feet over the
proposed compromise, Senator
LANCER intervened to help win

U. 5. Steel Pay Boost
OF 9 Gents Indicated
BY The Associated Press

PITTSBURGH, June 12.-Pol-
icy-making leaders of the CIO
United Steelworkers took only a
half hour today to decide
whether they'll take a wage
boost offer made by United
States Steel-but they kept the
decision a close secret.
The wage settlement, believed
to be in the neighborhood of 9
cents, will be submitted to the
unions Wage-Policy Committee
at 2 pm. (EDT) for final ap-
proval or rejection.
Steelworker President David j.
Mcdonald told newsmen after
the brief board session that he
would have nothing to say until
after the wage-policy meeting.
But the quick meeting and Mr..
McDonald's genial air indicated
that acceptance of the Big Steel
offer is expected.
Involved in the negotiations,
which could set a pattern for the
entire steel industry, are about
10000 United States Steel en-
ployes who are members Of the
USW. They now average be-
tween $2.06 and $2.l6 an hour.

CHICAGO, June IA CIO
United Auto Workers local told
it's members today the quality
of International Harvester prod
ucts would reflect employees re-
sentiment over the company's
stand on cost-of Living patterns.
Local 6 of suburban Melrose
Park, in a letter to all members,
added:
Back in 1850, Chrysler forced
it's people to strike for 113 days
to get a pension plan. 113 days
of strike for pension and Moth
ing more, the bitterness was so
great that after the strike there
wasn't a Chrysler product that
rolled off the line that did not
have something wrong with it.
"This was not an organized
move, but a spontaneous reac-
ton on the part of the men.
Chrysler got wise in a hurry and
called in the union even though
the contract was closed and gave
a 10 cents an hour increase
straight across the board"
Company Stands on Contract.
In an announcement several
days ago the international Har-
vester Co., said it was willing
to discuss with unions the adop-
ton of a new formula to adjust
its cost of living pattern to the
new Bureau of Labor statistics
index being put in effect July /.
It said, however. it would not go
into other provisions of its con-
tract and make allowances as
the large automobile concerns
had done.
The company asserted 1t has
a 5-year contract with the UAW
running until August %, 1855.
and that if it could be reopened
on all points at the whim of
either party it would be simply
a temporary memorandum,
rather than a firm agreement.
Management added that its
business differed from that of
the auto companies in that its
margin of profit per sale was
lower and it's whole economy was
tied to farm income, which is
on the decline.
