Compromise May Win.
On the other hand. Federal
employe leaders are hoping the
Senate will come to the rescue
and provide some kind of a
compromise bill that can be-
come law this year.
The Senate Civil Service
Committee has approved a COM
bined s. per cent pay raise for
classified and postal workers,
and Chairman Carlson has in
dicated he will move to have
the Senate substitute this for
the ouse-approved postal bill.
However, House leaders have
said that, in this event. they
would then object to sending
the legislation to conference.
which would be enough to kill
pay raises for this year. unless
House and Senate leaders could
get together on a compromise.
There still is a possibility Of
the House approving combined
5 per cent classified and postal
pay raise bill together with a
rate increase. But this would
have to get the backing of both
Republican and Democratic
leaders in the House and Senate.
Approval is Possibility. :
Still another possibility is
Senate approval of the z per cent
postal pay raise bill, which would
send it directly to the White
House. This would bypass fur
ther House action.
In this event, the / million
classified employees p r o b b y
would be left out in the cold.
since Congress, in the short time
remaining before adjournment,
probably wouldn't take action
on separate classified pay legis-
lation.
Chairman Carlson of the SEN
ate committee, however, has been
insisting that classified and post
al pay raise legislation be con-
sidered together. The postal en-
ploye unions are trying to make
the Senator change his mind.
Failing that. they will try to
gain enough support in the Sen
ate for the House-approved
per cent bill without having it
amended by a S per cent COM
bined classified and postal pay
raise.
BY pursuing such q course,
postal leaders run the risk of a
Presidential veto. But they say
they are willing to take such a
chance. rather than to have the
legislation stymied by the House
leadership.
Temporary 7-Pct. Raise.
| The bill approved by the
House yesterday provides a
temporary Z per cent postal pay
raise for more than $50, 900
postal workers, with q minimum
OF $240 and q maximum of $3.50.
The increases would remain in
effect until October /, 1855.
Meanwhile, a 14-member joint
congressional committee would
be appointed-seven from the
House and seven from the SEN
ate-to study the postal salary
Redistribution problem. They
would report their findings and
recommendations to Congress
by not later than next May /.
The cost of the bill would be
around 5000 million q year. Be-

Brooke Lees Action
In Quitting Race

e. Brooke Lees withdrawal of

DR.. Byrd, asked yesterday If
he had refused to support Mr.

DR.. Byrd. a personal friend Of

for the party or as the party's

Craftsmanship situation.

Davis Again Cops
Munzunitu Feature
BY KARL CONNALLY

For the 2nd consecutive week in
row, Don Davis copped top hon
ors in the weekly jalopy race show
at Manzanita Speedway Saturday
night. Davis started from the
number 19 slot in the starting field
of 20 racers and methodically
worked his way into the lead by
the 25th lap to win going away.
Two earlier leaders of the main,
Jim Riley and Don Barnes, fell to
the Wayside as motor troubles de-
veloped in the mounts, eliminating
them from the winners circle.
Barnes managed to keep his car
running long enough to finish in
third place, with Chuck Shaffer
driving his best race of the season
to finish in second place. This is
the closest that Shaffer has ever
come to winning the big event.
The Micro-Midgets came in for
their share of the spotlight, as little
Reece Vernon copped the 15-lap
main event, in a show replete with
thrills and spills. None of the
youngsters suffered any serious in
juries, but they kept the fans in an
uproar throughout their event. The
lads drove in true professional
style, much to the fans delight.
Other winners on the jalopy
show found Don Davis and Jack
Pritchard winning the trophy
dashes, with Tom Kinney, Jim Ri
ley and Fred Combs nabbing wins
in theeir respective heat races.
Tom Kinney also won the 15-lap
semi-main, to be the only other
driver besides Davis to cop two
wins in this show.
Next weeks show will again
highlight another fast 40 lap main,
with a Is lap semi, three 10 lap
heats and two 3 lap trophy dashes
making the full schedule of excit-
ing races. Time trials will get the
festivities underway at o'clock.

his title after having lost it.
Charles would have to go some to
make it.
In the meantime, the boys are
busy sizing up themselves and
each other. Charles is training as
never before, working very hard,
but still says he's going to consid-
er his bid for the crown next week
as "just another fight" He knows
it's an important one, he says, and
he realizes this may be his last
crack at the crown. But he's not
going to make this fight a mental
hazard he says. Besides, he under
stands that he can't properly train
for the fight if he's all choked up
about it.
And in this corner, we have the
Champ, Rocky Marciano, who says
Charles had better be worried. He
wants Charles to know that he
doesn't shave a swelled head, and
that he is not taking the fight too
lightly. He realizes, he says that
Charles is a good fighter, and in
fact says that he is the best heavy
weight around. The Champ insists
that he isn't rusty, even though
he hasn't had a fight since Septem-
ber. He has been busy and is in
perfect physical condition, he
claims.
Well, both boys are taking the
whole show pretty seriously, as
they should, and both seem deter
mined to make the best showing
ever. This ought to be quite a
scrap.

Q. What dressing technique will
minimize the appearance OF legs
that are too fat?
A. Avoid the reddish or very
light shades of hosiery, for the
more neutral and inconspicuous the
color, the more flattering they'll
be. Backless shoes lengthen the
line of the ankles and make them
seem simmer, as do high heels. Do
not make the mistake of wearing
very long skirts in an attempt to
hide your legs, as this will only call
attention to them. Keep your legs
defuZZed, wear the SheereSt hose
you can find, have good-looking,
Well-cared for shoes, and your legs
will look sleek and well-groomed.
Q. What is the best way to rouge
a very round face?
A. You can create the illusion of
length by placing your rouge on
the full part of the cheek and
blending it in WE'LL Smooth it we'll
in toward the nose so as to lessen
the highlights in center of face.
Q. What is a good astringent To-
ton for a very oily type of skin?
A. Squeeze bit of lemon juice
into bowl of ice water, and splash
this on the skin after washing and
massaging briskly-before makeup.

for hands and arms?

equal parts rose water and glycer-

NEW YORK, (GlobaD - 1t isn't
always easy when you're right on
top of situation, to properly eval-
uate it. But someone on the outside
often can give fresh point of view
and help pinpoint reactions.
For four years now, Global News
Syndicate has been presenting its
annual Press, Advertising and Pub
lie Relations Conferences with the
idea of bringing about better un-
derstanding between the various
community organizations and insti-
tutions, and the various commune
cation media. Also, we have sought
to bring together groups of adver-
tising and marketing specialists to
discuss the minority Market and
the best methods of approach to it.
We have tried to assemble these
groups on. community-wide basis,
making our gatherings inter-racial
We had felt rewarded for our eff
fort, because reactions within the
group have been favorable and be-
cause we felt sure we had been
able to help in the development of
a sound understanding among busi-
ness, civic, political and education
al organizations and institutions.
However, the reaction of one of
our friends has definitely con-
firmed our conviction that we were
travelling the right road. She is a
dynamic personality who has de-
voted the greater part of her life
to work among social welfare
a g e n cieS and one Of her
pet peeves" she says, has always
been the pink tea" sort of inter-
racial gathering. She always
avoided sponsoring such get-to-
gethers whenever she could in the
firm belief that everybody came
out because of a sense of duty,
smiled graciously at everybody
else, and felt relieved when it was
all over. In other words, the asso-
clation was purely superficial, and
at best was only gesture.
But here, she observes, we have
been able to bring together young
executives who respect each other
as being top-flight in their respec-
tive fields, and who feel a common
bond because they share a mutual
interest in the business world.
They discuss their problems in
common, seek each others counsel
and work together, each finding
growth and valuable experience in
the association. The benefits to be
reaped are general and personal. In
other words, these young men are
brought together not for the in
ter-racial contact per Sc, but be-
cause of mutual interests.
We feel that this is the turn all
of our associations must take from
now on. We have pointed out be-
fore that in working toward inte-
grafton in our school systems, the
lions share of the job will be ac-
complished by parents who come
together, not just to give lip serv-
ice to the idea of integration, but
by a common desire to secure the
pest education possible for their
children.
This is the soundest foundation
upon which any inter-racial asso-
citation can be built.
