A special commission study
ing congressional and judicial
salaries indicated today that
public hearings outside of Wash
ington might be necessary if the
commission suggests substantial
pay increases such as fiat $10,-
900 boost for all judges and leg
iSlatorS.
At a procedural discussion be-
fore the start of open hearings
this afternoon, the commission
also disclosed it has asked the
Securities and Exchange Com
mission for salary scales of the
10 leading corporations of the
United States.
Commission members eX-
planned that these data as we'll
as similar pay scales in the labor
field would be useful in deter
mining whether Federal judges
and members of Congress are
receiving fair compensation
Does this mean that what is
good for General Motors is good
for Congress?" Senator McCar-
ran, Democrat, of Nevada asked.
The Nevada Senator, one of
the advisory members of the
commission appointed by Presi-
dent Eisenhower, Vice President
Nixon, Chief Justice Warren and
House Speaker Martin, told re-
porters earlier today that he
favors a $4,000 raise for men,
bers of Congress and Federal
judges, with a $14,500 increase
for the Chief Justice. Such in
creases were proposed in bill
reported out last spring by the
Senate Judiciary Committee, of
which Senator McCarran is the
ranking minority member.
One Witness to Oppose.
The preliminary discussion to-
day did not dwell on any specific
salary proposal, although most
of the members indicated they
favored increasing the pay of
judges and members of Congress.

To Resume War
9th Army Leader Says

Defensive Positions
BY the Associated Press

SEOUL, Dec. 15.-Gen. Max
well D. Taylor said today the
Communist high command ap-
parently is not preparing for re-
sumption of the Korean war.
The commander of the multi
nation 9th Army told a press
conference that Red forces evil
IDENTIFY were digging in and pre-
pairing defensive positions on
their side of the demilitarized
zone.
"They are doing the same
thing we do" he said.
Gen. Taylor said of his own
plans in the event war does
break out:
You can assume we have
plans to go north, south, east,
west and up and down"
Fate of POWs Is Problem.
Gen. Taylor, in a review of
the problems that have faced
his army since the armistice,
said one unsolved difficulty was
the fate of 22,5O0 Chinese and
North Korean prisoners who
have renounced communism.
These POWs, along with 335
South Korean and 70 American
pro-Communlst captives, are
held in Indian custody in the
neutral zone near Panmunjom.
Gen. Taylor said plans were
being perfected to care for the
anti-Communist North Koreans
and Chinese after January %,
the date the armistice provides
they be freed as civilians.
May Go to FOrmOsa.
Gen. Taylor said he assumed
the North Korean anti Reds
would be cared for by the South
Korean government. The Chi
nese, Gen. Taylor said probably
would be asked to go to Formosa
and the problem would be a
matter of transportation.
Gen. Taylor conceded that
prisoners requesting to go to a
neutral nation would be a
problem" He said no plans had
yet been made to settle it.
Gen. Taylor said the % Amer

Complaining that open hear
ings arranged for this week have

visable elsewhere. James P.

created it says Congress shall
then act within so days after a
report is received.
Members of Congress now get
$4,000 year, including $2,5OO

procurers, of teen-agers buying
packaged liquor.
Sees Enforcement Failure.
Their testimony came after
Roger Robb. chairman of the
Subcommittee's local fact-finding
group, told the Senators in a
preview of coming testimony
that the evidence would indicate
"a failure on the part of the re-
sponsible agencies adequately to
enforce pertinent laws"
One of the witnesses, Detective
1t. Anthony S. Lacaire of the
Massachusetts, State police, fiat
ly told the subcommittee, IT
never saw a situation like this
before. I don't think it would
be tolerated where I work. I
have never seen people appear
ing as young as these do drinking
in public"
1t. Lacaire, who has been
touring the city since November

walking around the block, pre-
sumably to sober her up.
At 2:15 am. his partner saw a

NAT0 Orders
Boost in Troop
And Air Power
Council Vote Comes
Amid Reaction to
Dulles Warning
BY the Associated Press

PARIS, Dec. 15.-On the heels
Of a sharp warning from United
States Secretary of State Dulles
of a possible American "reap-
praisal" of its European policies,
the NATO Council of Ministers
today voted to boost its warplane
and troop strength in 1854.
The council. governing body of
the 14-nation Atlantic pact, met
as French officials were reported
furious over Mr.. Dulles state
ment that a shift in American
policies could follow any French
failure to ratify the European
army pact soon. Paris newspa-
perS termed it a blunt ultima
turn."
In London, British newspapers
OF varying political compilations
also blasted Mr.. Dulles.
In Bonn. however, Chancel-
lor Konrad Adenauer's Christian
Democratic Party hailed his
warning as logical and nat
ural." A party statement said
I'VE have pointed out time and
again that there would come a
time when American patience
would end"
Figures Approved AS Offered.
Approval of increased force
for the alliance was reported by
an American delegate.
The delegate said the ap-
proved figures were those sub
mitted by the military commit
tee yesterday.
A highly informed American
military officer said these recon-
mendations included:
/. An increase in the NATO
air force of more than 1900 war
planes, boosting the alliances
air power to $500 planes by the
end of 1854.
2. An 8 per cent increase in
ground forces, bringing NATO's
front-line and reserve divisions
to 107 by the end of the year.
The delegate said the report
ran into no opposition.
Most officials were guarded or
refused comment on Mr.. Dulles
declaration, though Italian Pre-
mier Giuseppe Pella termed it
"a very courageous statement"
Dutch Foreign Minister j. w.
Beyen called it very important"
British Foreign Secretary An
thony Eden declined to COM
ment.
Bidault Will Say Nothing.
II have nothing at all to say"
snapped French Foreign Min
lister Georges Bidault.
Mr.. Dulles spoke yesterday to
a news conference after address,
ing the opening meeting of the
NATO Council. Informants said
he made the same points to the
Council.
In the strongest language yet
heard at a NATO meeting, the
Secretary of State warned:
/. Unless the European De-
fense Community treaty is rati-
fed quickly. the United States
will have to "re-study" how to
implement its obligations to
NATO. and the disposition of
United States troops would, of
course. be a factor in the agoniz-
ing reappraisal"
2. If the Western nations, "es-
pecially France and Germany"
decide to commit suicide by fail
ing to unite, they may have to
commit it alone"
Mr.. Dulles threats were aimed
mainly at the French, who first
proposed the EDO and then

Slim Chance
For UNIT Plan
Reaction on Truininq
Along With Druft
Is UnfuvorubIe
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

Most members of Congress
who expressed themselves today
on a presidential commission
recommendation for a military
manpower policy recoiled from
its central idea-universal mill
tary training for youths not
drafted.
The National Security Train
ing Commission said yesterday
in special report to President
Eisenhower that UNIT could be
put into effect by January. 1855
or earlier, operating simultane-
ously with the draft. The plan
would require congressional ap-
proval
The commission proposed a
lottery to determine whether a
youth would get six months
training or be required to serve
two years as draftee.
The group said the program,
while not achieving absolute
equality. at least would avoid
what it called the present unfair
situation in which veterans are
the only reservists available to
be called up in a sudden war
emergency.
Under the proposed UNIT
program the trainees would be
called ahead of veterans.
Possibility of Economy.
The commission contended its
program also might save money
by permitting a reduction in the
regular military forces, and
might help deter war by setting
up steady program of long
term preparedness.
However. the arguments ap-
parently made little impression
on most members of Congress
available in Washington for
comment.
House Speaker Martin said
fatty. Il don't think the pro-
gram would have much chance"
He added that Congress has
already said the draft and UNIT
should not operate concurrently."
Chairman Short of the House
Armed Services Committee which
would have to act on a UNIT
bill, declared Il am opposed to
UNIT. 1t won't work"
Chairman Cole of the Senate
House Atomic Energy Commit
tee and a member of the House
Armed Services Committee, COM
mented that with the increasing
emphasis on atomic weapons,
"the need for large numbers of
men in uniform is considerably
leSSened
Mr.. Cole, who has supported
UNIT in the past. said he did
not think Congress would pass
it now and that he might switch
his own position.
Other Comment.
Representative Arends, Repub-
lican of Illinois. the House

Senator Duff. Republican, of
Pennsylvania, however, said he

commission report. He said it
imposes an obligation on all
citizens of military age, it dis
tributes the burden in a fair
way" and makes possible an ef-
fective reserve without the ex-
pense of big standing forces.
Some lawmakers who have IA
voG1 UNIT were not in WASH

vately they fear the 1854 session
is the wrong time to bring it up.
