Censure Fight
Doubts Mccarthy
Friends Will Seek
To Delay Action
By jones Y. Newton
and Robert K. Welsh

Senate Republican Leader
Knowland said today he saw no
chance of a filibuster in the de-
bate on censure Of Senator Nc
Carthy.
AS the Senate met to resume
debate on the issue, Senator

Knowland also told reporters
that the Mccarthy issue should
be disposed of" in the current
special session and not deferred
until the new Congress takes Of
fee in January. as Senator Cape
hart, Republican, of Indiana had
suggested earlier today.
81 doubt very much whether
Senators on. either side of the
aisle or either side of the -ques-
ton want to delay final action
until the next session of Con-
gress," the California Senator
said.
He said that such a postpone
iment would mot be in the in
terest of either party. or of the
Senate or of the Nation"
Doubts FiIibuster.
There have been speculations
that the Mccarthy side might
try to filibuster until the
adjournment date of the special
session December "a if they can
not force some compromise on
the censure question.
II have found no evidence Of
any desire to- filibuster this"
Senator Knowland continued,
"and I don't think it would be
successful if it were tried"
Senator Dirksen. Republican,
Of Illinois. who has been one Of
Senator McCarthy's leading sup
porters, said he too saw no
prospect for a f1libuster and
doubted that a showdown on the
censure issue could be postponed.
Sees Need for Action.
He said this would raise the
question Of whether we are to
leave it up in the air in the
minds Of the country or take
action" adding II think we are
almost compelled to take action"
Senator Dirksen said he was
disturbed by the theatrical at

1917 Pay Raise
To Be Asked for
All Federal Jobs
DingeII to Sponsor
Measure When New
Congress Convenes
By Harold B. Rogers

Representative Dingell, Demo-
crat, Of Michigan. today an
nounced he will introduce on the
first day of the 84th Congress a
bill for a 10 per cent pay raise
to Federal employees in all grades.
Announcing this in a formal
statement, he said he was
prompted to sponsor such legis-
lation because of the failure"
of the Republican 83d Congress
to help the stringent financial
condition of Federal Civil Serv-
ice employees. He said he intended
his bill to apply to those in both
the classified and postal service
groups.
Sees Talent Lost.
"The past actions Of the Con-
gress have had a tendency to
level the grades as regards COM
penSation." he said. "The Gov
ern1nent has been handicapped
in holding high caliber employees
under such a pay lid, and the
forced departure Of these upper
grade employees to private in
dustry has worked to the detri-
ment of the Government and
has often resulted in the pro-
motion Of mediocre persons.
"If we are to maintain the
Government system at its high
est peak level" he added, I'VE
must stimulate the continued
employment of men and women
at the top as well as those in
between and in the lower
brackets.
To Seek Early Action.
"A pay raise is unsound if It
tends to level off without dis
tinction all employees. The
erroneous thinking on this ques-
ton has become not only a
problem but a real threat to
a sound policy and the employ
ment of qualified Civil Service
classified and postal workers.
II shall do all in my power
to have favorable action taken
on this measure at the earliest
possible date"
Civil service leaders in both
Senate and House have pre-
dicted that some kind of pay
raise legislation for Federal
workers can be enacted in the
new Congress next year.

Dixon-Yates Contract Siqned;
Atomic Committee Studies Deal
Before Acting on Waiver Plea
Strauss I ellis
Details Of Pact:
Doubt Vote I odoy
By Joseph A. Fox

The Dixon-Yates power con-
tract was signed today and the
Senate House Atomic Energy
Committee met at 2 pm. to go
over the document with Admiral
Lewis L. Strauss, chairman Of
the Atomic Energy Commission,
and K. D. Nichols, Aces general
manager.
The execution Of the con-
tract was announced by the
joint committee which has been
asked by the administration to
give it immediate clearance by
waving the requirement that
the agreement lie before the
next session of Congress for
80 days.
Under the contract the Dixon
Yates power combine operating
as the Mississippi Valley Cen
Grating Co. will build a $107
million steam plant at West
Memphis, Ark, to generate
power for Tennessee Valley Au-
thority lines in the Memphis
.afea to replace IVA power now
being fed to atomic installa-
tions.
Hitch Delayed Signing.
The signing today came after
q hitch earlier in the week over
objections raised by the utility
combine.
AS the committee went into
executive session, it was con-
fronted with a request from
President Eisenhower for waiver
Of the waiting period.
The administration has been
anxious to get a quick start on
the West Memphis project and.
in asking for quick committee
action yesterday. President Eli
senhower also hit at further ex-
pansion of the iva authority,
which had wanted to build its
own plant for the new power.
Party Line Vote.
The Atomic Committee, voting
strictly along party lines, yester-
day rejected 1913 a Democratic
resolution that would have
shelved the contract until next
year, and Committee Chairman
Cole. Republican. of New York,
said this indicated the waiver
would be granted although he
qualified this with the admission
that this would not necessarily
be the case.
Chairman Cole said the COM
mittee would not vote on the
question of waving the waiting
period this afternoon. He added
that would be "too soon"
The Democrats oppose waiv-
ing the waiting period. They
want the new Congress to have
a chance to give the Dixon
Yates contract the "quie t
burial" Senator johnson. the
prospective Democratic major
ity leader, has promised it.

A little light was shed last
night on the hitch in negotia-
tions between Acc and Dixon

bring in the signed contract

had been notified that four

WolfSon was speaking to German
